Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 1753

After Yamamoto finished speaking, although he did not clearly identify who the current enemy of the empire is, many admirals who are obsessed with dominating the oceans already knew it, and some fanatics even shouted: "America!"

Yamamoto glanced at the man approvingly, nodded and said, "That's right, it's America!"

History played a big joke here.At that time and space, Yamamoto was the Japanese admiral most opposed to war with the United States, but now, he has become the planner and promoter of this strategy.

At that time, the Japanese military headquarters, the army suffered heavy losses in the two encirclement and suppression of the student army, and its dominant position has been replaced by the navy.As the current de facto decision-maker of the navy, Yamamoto has made a plan, and other admirals including Prime Minister Mitsumasa Yonei have started discussions around this, and Tojo's proposal to change the system of the Western Expeditionary Fleet has been shelved.

The meeting was completely off topic, and he was ignored. Tojo was very upset. The old devil looked at a group of admirals with red eyes surrounding Yamamoto 56 asking this and that, and cursed softly: "Bage, Yankee is so good Did you fight? A group of whimsical guys!"

Tojo is Lu Xiang, and Yamamoto is Hai Xiang. The two are very close. Tojo thought that he lowered his voice so that others could not hear him. Who knows that Yamamoto has been paying attention to him, so he just heard it.Because Yamamoto only stayed in Tokyo for a short time, he wanted to help Koizumi solve the adverse effects caused by the prisoner of war incident, so he immediately took advantage of the problem, waved his hand to stop other people from talking, stared at Yamajo and asked: "Yamajo-kun, what are you talking about? "

Yamamoto was aggressive, and Yamajo was even more upset. He grinned coldly and said, "Did I say Yankees are so easy to fight? You are killing yourself!"

"Bage! Are you still a Yamato person? How dare you say such a thing?!" Yamamoto slammed the table and shouted

"Am I wrong? How many battleships does the empire have, and how many ships does the United States have? With the current naval strength of the empire, what is going to war with the United States if it is not self-destruction?" Tojo stood up, staring at Jinyuyan and Yamamoto Glaring at each other, like an enraged fighting cock.

Yamamoto was furious and was about to fight back. Minai Mitsumasa looked at Tojo and said: "Whether it is self-destruction or the great cause of the empire to dominate the ocean from now on, this is not up to you Tojo. Don't forget, if it is not for the navy The Western Expedition Fleet occupied the Dutch East Indies, and now the empire is facing an oil crisis!" Then he said to Yamamoto: "Yamamoto-kun, the United States is not China, it is about the luck of the empire, you have to be careful."

Minai is Yamamoto's old boss, Yamamoto could not buy other people's account, but he didn't dare to be rude to him, and hurriedly bowed halfway: "Your Excellency, you know my personality, since I dare to announce it to the public here today, it must be It is absolutely sure. Your Excellency, this matter must not be leaked in the slightest, and please—”

"I know that those who are qualified to sit here are the pillars of the empire, and they will not be disrespectful."

"Hai!" Yamamoto bowed to Minei, then took out a book from his briefcase, showed the cover of the book to everyone, and said, "Everyone, has anyone read this book?" Book?"

A group of naval generals immediately replied that they had seen it, and some of the army generals also replied after looking at Tojo's face.

Yamamoto put the book in front of him, and said slowly: "This book is a novel published in Washington, USA in 1925. It is called "The Great Pacific War". It tells the story of a fleet of our country attacking the United States. Pearl Harbor, Guam, and the Philippine Islands. When this book came out, I was serving as an attache to the embassy in Washington. I bought it and read it right away. Gentlemen, we should be grateful The author of this book, who provides us with a practical path to war with the United States..."

Different from that time and space, this time the "author" of the Japanese navy's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor was not Yamamoto, but the traveler Toshiichiro Koizumi.It was because of Koizumi's suggestion that Yamamoto remembered the book he had read in Washington several years ago.He went home immediately and found the book and read it through.Then, based on Koizumi's suggestion, a mature plan appeared in his chest.He came to Tokyo this time to sell his plan to attack Pearl Harbor to Emperor Hirohito and the military.As Koizumi wished, he named this operation "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!" in the plan, and firmly believed that as long as he could successfully attack Pearl Harbor and defeat the US Pacific Fleet, Japan would be able to gain Control of the Pacific Ocean, and with this period of time as a buffer, and the rich strategic resources in Southeast Asia to provide development momentum, Japan will be able to build a larger fleet, and it will have the capital to completely defeat the United States to dominate the Pacific Ocean.When Japan completely controls the Pacific Ocean, and then sends its troops to attack China, both the central army and the student army will be vulnerable. At this point, Japan will be considered to have a firm foothold in Asia...

Starting from the book "The Great Pacific War", Yamamoto spent more than half an hour talking about the significance of the attack on Pearl Harbor and the specific action plan.He didn't finish his sentence, and everyone in the meeting, including Hideki Tojo, was dumbfounded.Then, when he took out the plan and circulated it to everyone, everyone woke up looking at each other.

"It's crazy!" Hideki Tojo took the lead to express his opinion: "Are the Americans stupid? There are nearly [-] main battleships. How can such a huge fleet travel [-] nautical miles to Pearl Harbor to escape the detection of the Americans? ? Once discovered by the Americans? How is that different from directly declaring war? Do the Americans think we are on a friendly visit? I remember that before the Western Expedition Fleet set off to Southeast Asia, some people worried that the Americans might hinder our actions, but In fact, so far, the Americans have only protested verbally. That being the case, why do we have to fight against the powerful United States? Yamamoto-kun also admitted that China is the biggest enemy of the empire. As long as the China incident is not resolved Well, going to war with Britain is already a risk, and now you have to provoke the United States again. Hmph! I firmly oppose it!"

"Your Excellency, what's your opinion?" Yamamoto looked at Mitsumasa Minai.

Minai Mitsumasa put down the plan in his hand and looked up. He glanced at everyone first, and when he found that almost all the admirals were in a state of frenzy, he thought about it.He looked at Tojo and asked, "Tojo-kun, do you know about the surprise attack on the transport fleet a few days ago?"

Tojo nodded.

Minay: "We have enough evidence to prove that it was an American submarine."

Tojo was taken aback.

"It can be inferred from this that the previous attack on the 'Kaga' must have been done by the Americans! The Americans dared to attack us, and they should have thought about the consequences of being discovered by us. What does this mean? It means that the Americans have done a good job. We are ready to go to war with us. Instead of waiting for the Americans to declare war, why don't we take the initiative to attack him by surprise? Anyway, we will fight sooner or later, so why not just make a success in one fell swoop? The attack on Pearl Harbor is indeed a risky operation, but if it succeeds ——As Yamamoto-kun said, the empire will gain command of the Pacific Ocean for quite a long time, which will be enough to ensure the smooth expansion of the empire in Southeast Asia..."

Mitsumasa Minai's blaming the attack on the "Kaga" aircraft carrier on the heads of the Americans is not empty talk. Before the Song-class submarines of the Xuebing Army were exposed, and the British Z fleet was blocked in the Indian Ocean, besides the United States, there were Which country has such strength?

Tojo was speechless now.

"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!" The action plan was approved by the Japanese military in this way—the Pacific War is not far away!
