Age of Rebirth

"Order, the army air force and naval land-based air force stationed on the islands in the eastern Pacific Ocean should make preparations in advance. When the repairs to the field airports in the empire-occupied area on the west coast are completed, the ministries will be transferred immediately."

"Order, the Imperial North American Combat Command, to move to Los Angeles. The chief of staff, Admiral Nanye, led the personnel left behind in the headquarters, and rushed to Los Angeles immediately. The order, the combined fleet carrier-based aircraft force, from now on, carry out continuous operations against the retreating US troops. Intermittent air strikes!"

General Yamamoto's three orders focused on pushing the field airports of the Army and Navy Air Force forward to the new occupied area. During the several months of air battles against the US Army Air Force, he realized the beauty of mastering the air. It is no exaggeration to say that the victory of the Empire in the landing battle on the west coast of the United States is entirely dependent on the mastery of air supremacy.

At this time, General Yamamoto's perspective on warfare has undergone profound changes. He has a new way of thinking about fighting in the United States.

At the same time, General Yamamoto also realized that the thinking and thinking of these army commanders under his command had become rigid, clinging to the theory of the Continental Army and the Army's victory. The concrete manifestation of thought, how can he be assured of such a general?

Eager to have his best friend General Nanye come to Los Angeles, it contains another idea and expectation of his.

Using Nanye-kun's strategic vision and understanding of himself, try to change the rigid and fixed thinking of the army generals under the North American Combat Command.Otherwise, I don't mind a big change in the army under my command, replacing a large number of senior generals.Let those old-fashioned and rigid-minded guys get out of their current command positions!

General Yamamoto knew that it was very dangerous for him to do so. It was tantamount to fighting against the entire army system of the empire. Facing the suppression and counterattack of the big bosses of the army, even with the absolute trust of His Majesty the Emperor in him and the command of the The huge halo of US war victory.I'm afraid it's not easy to do it. If one is not good, there will be ruin and a sad end.

Think here.Akatsuki is a firm-hearted General Yamamoto, and he can't help being discouraged and trembling, but he must go on, doing everything for the empire at the lowest price.Win the war against America!

The first Japanese landing forces occupy the west coast of the United States.The arrival of the second batch of landing troops heralded the complete victory of the first phase of the landing campaign against the continental United States. General Yamamoto finally had enough confidence to report victory to Emperor Hirohito as the winner!

When General Yamamoto's telegram arrived in Tokyo, Emperor Hirohito was in tears of excitement.I personally issued the edict, "I declare to all the people. Just today, the imperial army under the command of General Yamamoto 56, the Imperial Navy, successfully occupied the west coast of the United States and achieved a complete victory in the first phase of the war against the United States!"

As soon as Emperor Hirohito's edict was issued, the whole country, from the imperial family to ordinary people, was excited. The whole Japan was in a state of mad excitement. Some people shouted "Long live His Majesty the Emperor", some cut off their wrists, chopped off their fingers, made themselves bloody, and vowed to join the imperial army. . . . . .

Anyway, the victory in the first stage of the war against the United States was like a stimulant to the Japanese. It also happened during the "July [-]th Incident" of the war.

The names of Emperor Hirohito and General Yamamoto are widely spread in the mouths of the Japanese people. His Majesty the Emperor is naturally deified to the extent that he does not eat the fireworks and fireworks in the world, and the Five Great Generals of Yamamoto are called, following Japan’s war against Russia, Known as the God of War, Admiral Togo Heihachiro, the third God of War in Japan after Field Marshal Nogi Nori, this is the most lofty honor, even for the Great Japanese Empire, General Ito Gensaburo, who won the Australian War, did not got it.

Emperor Hirohito was extremely satisfied with the five generals of Yamamoto, and issued a special edict, "Specially conferred on the admiral of the Imperial Navy, the commander of the North American Combat Command Yamamoto 56, the arbitrary power during the war against the United States, and any combat plan can be determined by oneself. , Just report to the base camp!"

"The base camp only has the right to review the battle plan of the Imperial North American Combat Command, but not the right to deny it. General Yamamoto has the right to appoint and remove generals at all levels of the army and navy under his jurisdiction at any time!"

In a word, Emperor Hirohito has completely delegated power to General Yamamoto. In the war against the Americans, you can fight as Yamamoto wants. How the generals are appointed and dismissed is the final decision. I and the base camp will not interfere at all. Similarly, such a huge General Ito Gensaburo has never obtained the power.

The bigwigs of the navy are very satisfied with Admiral Yamamoto. The landing battle on the west coast of the United States is not only a victory for the empire, but also a victory for the navy. Moreover, it is also a victory for the navy after the admiral commanded the army. It overwhelmed the army and provided strong evidence. For a while, the limelight of General Yamamoto overshadowed all the generals of the army and navy, and the scenery was infinite!

The bigwigs of the army are extremely depressed. Seeing the people in the navy shine, they are indignant in their hearts. The victory of the landing battle on the west coast of the United States is largely due to the army. The army suffered more than ten casualties. The victory was won at the cost of tens of thousands of people, but the laurels were worn on the head of this guy Yamamoto. No matter how you look at it, the army felt aggrieved by making wedding clothes for the navy during this landing battle.

At this moment, the letter of complaint from Lieutenant General Hirano Yoshiki, commander of the No. 14 Army of the Japanese Army, arrived at the base camp. The conspiracy of the five generals also quietly unfolded.

Berlin, Germany, the meeting room of the Fuhrer's Palace, a very high-level military meeting is underway. The leaders of the German party, government and army are all present. There are many familiar faces among the dignitaries attending the meeting. The commander of the German South American Army Group Marshal Rommel is impressively on the list.

Marshal Rommel traveled thousands of miles and flew back to China. Then, the content of the meeting revolved around the next action time of the more than one million elite German troops deployed in Mexico after the Japanese won the landing battle. question.

Admiral Yamamoto 56, who was hailed by the Japanese as the new "God of War", naturally became one of the topics discussed by the head of state Hitler and the officials.

Hitler talked about Admiral Yamamoto, and there was no shortage of words of appreciation, "Everyone, the five generals of the Japanese Navy Yamamoto stood out in this battle and brought a huge victory to the Japanese. In all fairness, I was not optimistic about the Japanese at the beginning." Yes, but now, we must pay attention to this ally!"

"Seideman, your General Intelligence Bureau should list Yamamoto 56 as a key target. This Japanese's command art is still worth learning from our generals. It was unexpected!"

"Denitz, if you were to command the German army, would you be able to achieve the same results as the Japanese?" Hitler asked suddenly, looking at Admiral Doenitz, the commander of the German navy.

"Frankly speaking, my head of state, you can't!" Admiral Doenitz said frankly.

Facing Admiral Doenitz's frankness, the German party, government and military leaders present at the meeting all showed surprised expressions. Among them, several military generals had a trace of disdain in their eyes, but Hitler was full of eyes. All are compliments.

Hitler knew that Dönitz was a rigorous person, so answering this was not an admission of incompetence. The Japanese victory was due to many factors. The air power of the Americans is the most critical factor.

"So, Doenitz, from your point of view, what suggestions do you have for the upcoming offensive of the Imperial Army?" Hitler continued to ask.

"Yes, my head of state!" Admiral Doenitz stood up, walked to the large military map, and said, "The Navy believes that it can concentrate all its naval forces and launch an attack on the east coast of the United States. However, the prerequisite Yes, the Navy needs enough landing troops!"

Hitler smiled and motioned to Admiral Doenitz, and continued.

Admiral Doenitz continued: "The east coast of the United States, with its dense concentration of industry, commerce, and politics, supports most of the needs of the Americans to maintain the war. Washington, in particular, is the center of the United States. Attacking this area , can shake the national foundation of the United States, and greatly reduce the difficulty for the German army to fight in the United States!"

"But unfortunately, my head of state, the current status of the German navy is solely responsible for an independent offensive direction, and there is no such capability. Therefore, it needs the strong cooperation and assistance of the army and air force, especially the strength of the marines. It must be expanded!"

"Okay, I understand your opinion!" Hitler interrupted Admiral Dönitz, "After the meeting is over, you stay and talk about your plan in detail. Our German navy should grow stronger, and our eyes should not only be Confined to the Atlantic Ocean!"

Hitler's words shocked all the German party, government and military officials who attended the meeting. According to the head of state, they had plans to get involved in the Pacific region, which involved the issue of Germany's strategic direction shift.

The Pacific Ocean is currently dominated by the Japanese. Could it be that the head of state plans to compete with the Japanese in the Pacific Ocean?

But Germany and Japan are now joining forces to deal with the Americans. More importantly, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, there is also a super heavyweight Tiger, the old friend of the head of state, that Chinese Tang Qiuli, the situation is a bit complicated!

Hitler ignored the shocked expressions of his subordinates, turned to Rommel and said: "Dear Rommel, you are the protagonist of today's military meeting, let me talk about your opinion!"
