The next day, the sky over the sea was still clear.

Zhang Tianhao sat on the deck of the warship, looking at the sea all around him, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Just then, a plane flew directly from a distance.

Soon it appeared above their heads, and the roar of the plane directly interrupted his leisure time.

"Damn it, the Japanese planes found us so quickly."

His face was also extremely ugly, and he coldly gave orders to several Japanese sailors on the side.

"Prepare the anti-aircraft machine guns and shoot down the plane above."

"Hi!"

Perhaps it was because his voice was not loud, but his authority was something the sailors dared not disobey.

Then I saw several sailors running directly to the side of the anti-aircraft machine gun, pulling the gun, and aiming at the plane that was about to fly over again.

As the machine guns continued to approach them, the anti-aircraft machine guns also fired directly at the planes.

The plane, which was not prepared at all, was hit directly.

Then we saw the plane emitting white smoke and falling into the sea.

"Report, the plane has been shot down, please give me your instructions, sir!"

"Keep going, to Liandao."

……

"Baga, it was actually sent to northern Jiangsu. That bastard Zhang Tianhao must have stolen our warship. It must be him. Notify the flight squadron immediately and shoot the plane down for me."

Inside the Japanese Naval Headquarters in Shanghai, the Rear Admiral was shocked when he saw the news he had just received.

After all, there have been several incidents of naval warships being bombed in Shanghai. Not only that, this time they were directly robbed.

"Also, all those traitors who defected from the Empire will be charged with treason. They must be made to know the price of betraying the Empire."

"Notify the country and arrest all their family members. Send the women to comfort camps and the men to the front lines. We must let them know that the price they can't afford."

"Hi!"

"Does General Tu Feiyuan have any advice?"

"No, Shanghai only has one flying squadron with five planes. One of them has been destroyed, leaving only four. Two of them are bombers and two are attack planes. They are no match for the planes from northern Jiangsu."

"They have no plans to send out aircraft, and there has been no news from the Nanjing headquarters. It seems that they have forgotten about it."

"Baga, Baga!"

"General, it's not that the Nanjing Command didn't send planes, but their planes were basically either destroyed or missing."

"disappeared!"

When the Rear Admiral heard this, he immediately thought of something and the corners of his mouth twitched.

After all, a while ago, planes at major nearby airports, and even all the supplies in the airports, disappeared, and it remains a mystery to this day.

No one knows where the planes in the airport went, or who stole them.

Moreover, all the people in the airport died, and the airport was burned to ashes. Even if the Nanjing Command wanted to, it was powerless.

He immediately became deflated and slumped down in the chair, looking as if he had aged ten years.

"Damn you Zhang Tianhao, why did you steal our warships? Why did you rob my warships? I'm going to take you to a military court."

"No, it must be those traitors who stole our warships, it must be like this!"

He also knew that the theft was his unavoidable responsibility, but he had no other choice. Only he knew how difficult it would be to get the warship back.

"Baga, Zhang Tianhao, this matter is not over yet. I will make you pay the price."

He cursed for a while, and then sat down helplessly, as if he had lost all his energy again.

……

Similarly, in Kagesawa's gendarmerie headquarters, Kagesawa was sitting in the conference room, and Dohyo was sitting next to him.

"General, please tell me how to deal with this matter. We are no longer able to deal with Zhang Tianhao's affairs. After all, we have no way to deal with the Subei Army."

Ying Zuo was also sitting there, drinking tea, with a somewhat sad expression on his face. After all, he was also deeply poisoned by Ge Tianhao.

"We really have no solution. The Nanjing Command has no good solution for Zhang Tianhao in northern Jiangsu. They originally concentrated some planes to bomb the northern Jiangsu Army Group."

"But we got news that all the planes at the five nearby airports were destroyed. We simply don't have the capacity to prepare a large number of planes here."

"And even if we had planes, we might not be able to defeat the Subei Army Group. Their anti-aircraft units are almost divided into brigades."

"Each regiment has an anti-aircraft machine gun. In addition to defending against aircraft, it also defends against tanks, armored vehicles and the like. Our tanks have no advantage at all against such anti-aircraft machine guns. They are like paper."

"And the other side also has an armored brigade. It's too difficult for us to defeat the Subei Army Group. It's not cost-effective. Moreover, their forces are quite concentrated. You've read the last report from Nanjing. The nominal army is about 230,000. However, if we want to organize militias at all levels, we can organize nearly 10 million militias. You know what a terrifying number this is."

"Everyone is a soldier. I guess only this madman can do this. Now his true colors have been revealed. Even if we want to attack, how much loss we will suffer, you know much more clearly than me."

"In addition, the Northeastern Kwantung Army refused to enter the country because they wanted to guard against the Soviet Red Army. Therefore, although it is possible for our imperial armies in Central and North China to take it down, we would have to mobilize more than 60% of our troops, which is simply unrealistic."

Tu Feiyuan was also exhausted at this time. After all, they had fought with Zhang Tianhao for such a long time and gained almost no benefits. On the contrary, they suffered greater losses.

Now even if the commander of the central China region directly ordered a blockade of the entire northern Jiangsu, could it be done?

He had an idea in his mind. After all, it was close to the sea and inland. He knew how difficult it would be to transport it here without having to imagine it.

"General Yingzuo, we have been defeated. It can be said that the Empire has been defeated. The Empire's future on the Chinese battlefield has been defeated."

"Failed?"

When Yingzo heard this, he was stunned at first, but then he immediately understood.

After all, Zhang Tianhao's existence directly tilted the balance of Japan's entire battlefield in China towards China, rather than towards Japan.

"General Tu Feiyuan, are we really defeated?"

"General Yingzuo, this is already doomed. If the Subei Army had not developed so exaggeratedly, the Empire would not have failed. At least it could have fought for it. But now everything is too late."

"You are also working in intelligence. What the Subei Army lacks now is just a matter of time. If you give him a year to develop, the entire Jiangsu region will belong to him, not to our empire."

"Our important transportation lines, the transportation lines in Central China and North China, are almost paralyzed. The transportation from Xuzhou to the south is also directly controlled by the Subei Army. Do you think we can still win?"

What Tobiyuan said was a direct blow to Yingzuo. After all, he never thought that the development of Subei would become the last straw. (End of this chapter)
