Glorious Mission 1937

In fact, what Chen Feng didn't know was that when he was scheming against the Kwantung Army, the Japanese army was also scheming against him.The Japanese have never underestimated him as a scourge, and they always want to get rid of it quickly.

However, because of the changes in the world situation, the Japanese army could not concentrate on dealing with him. Especially after learning that the Chen family bought the island of Guinea and Tasmania from Australia, Chen Feng's tentacles had penetrated deep into the South Pacific. It is intolerable to the Japanese side.

Japan is deeply aware of the threat from Chen Feng's troops, so they have been looking for opportunities to deal with Chen Feng's troops.However, Chen Feng's forces in the northern part of the Great Wall have become powerful, and if they want to completely wipe them out, they must plan for a long-term battle. Therefore, the Japanese army is indeed powerless against that force on the Chinese battlefield. At least in the current situation, the Japanese army's headquarters The eighth war zone that thinks it can't destroy Saibei.

But this does not mean that the Japanese army will let Chen Feng's troops do their thing. After Chen Feng's troops made great strides in developing New Guinea Island, the Japanese army base camp had the intention to seize the island.However, because the Chen family signed a security agreement with Australia, if New Guinea is invaded by foreign enemies within three years, Australia must send troops to reinforce it.

The military strength of Australia is not strong. The total military strength of the country is only 10 people. Among them, there are only more than 9 regular troops for daily training. The remaining [-] people are armed like militias. To be honest, the Japanese military base He didn't put Australia in his eyes. In the words of Seishiro Itagaki, Chief of the Army's General Staff: "To seize Australia, the Empire of Japan only needs to send a division to that continent!"

despite this.The Japanese army still dare not underestimate this country. Although Australia is not very good, it is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, and it is also an extremely important member of the Commonwealth of Nations.According to the arrogant character of the British Empire, if Australia is bullied, Britain will definitely join the war.

Japan hadn't made any mental preparations for going to war with the United States and Britain before, so the Japanese base camp could only let Chen Feng's development in New Guinea be done and turn a blind eye.

However, the base camp is not without any action. Although it cannot directly send troops to attack New Guinea Island, it can send small troops to the island to destroy it.It can also sneak into New Guinea and Tasmania for armed infiltration.Coupled with the influx of a large number of Chinese and Jews into these two islands, the law and order on the islands began to become chaotic from the second half of the 40s.

Facing the rapidly deteriorating law and order, the Nanyang Territory Administrative Council immediately issued a major emergency order, and almost all the army and police forces entered a wartime state.Conduct investigations on suspicious persons on the island.Helicopters were also dispatched to encircle and suppress the Japanese armed forces that had landed on the island.After more than half a year of hard work, after more than 30 small Japanese troops were wiped out, the law and order on the island was improved.

but.Taking advantage of the gap during this period, the Japanese army also infiltrated a large number of spies into the Nanyang Territory, and these actions were all carried out in secret. Neither the Nanyang Territory Administrative Council nor Chen Feng, who was far away in Guisui, knew anything about it. .

The time came to 1941. After several high-level meetings, especially the imperial meeting in early January, Emperor Hirohito personally decided to go to war against Britain and the United States. Care again.

After all, the Emperor had already decided to go to war with the United Kingdom and the United States, so the small Australia would not have too many scruples for the Great Japanese Empire. To join the empire, it was necessary to send troops to Australia to go to war with the United States and Britain.

However, the Japanese base camp decided to sharpen their knives on the Nanyang collar of the Chen family before going to war with the United States and Britain.Although Nanyang Territory has not been developed for a long time, its population is more than 450 million, including 200 million Jews and 200 million Chinese, and the rest are the descendants of local aborigines and Western colonists.

The original desolate and barren island of New Guinea has been built by millions of people for several years, coupled with the huge amount of money from the Chen family, now there are more than a dozen cities that have developed very well, because almost all places need to be rebuilt Therefore, the Nanyang Territory Administrative Council has planned the various cities very well, especially the development of industry. Almost all the resources needed for war can be developed here, including oil and steel. In the eyes of Japan, this is undoubtedly a piece of fat.

The Japanese are most envious of the several excellent seaports in the Nanyang Territory. These ports are deep-water ports without ice periods. Once captured here, they can attack Australia from a distance, Singapore and the Philippines from a distance, and occupy the entire South Pacific.

In addition, the owner of the Nanyang collar is the Chen family, to put it bluntly, it is Chen Feng.As for the relationship between Chen Feng and Japan, there is no need to go into details. It is light to say that they are not in common. There are dozens of Japanese generals who died in Chen Feng's hands alone. Japan also wants to take this opportunity to explore the bottom line of the United States, Britain and other countries.

After a long period of infiltration and monitoring, the Japanese army finally found an opportunity to take advantage of it. On March 1941, 3, Japanese spies lurking in the United States sent an urgent telegram to Tokyo, and then the telegram was forwarded to Nagano Shoshin, Chief of Naval Operations.

Japan. Tokyo. Admiralty.

As one of the four most important departments that make up the base camp, the position of the Ministry of the Navy in the whole of Japan is undoubtedly the most detached.Although the strength of the Japanese navy has always been far smaller than that of the army, the resources occupied by the navy are not much less than that of the army.

Moreover, Japanese emperors and prime ministers all knew Japan’s natural disadvantages. Island countries are island countries after all. If they want to go out, they must rely on the navy. Even if the army is strong, it cannot go to sea to fight. In order to build warships, the emperor had to take the lead in reducing court expenses.

After a hundred years of development, the Japanese navy has indeed made great progress. Now, apart from the British Navy and the US Navy, the Japanese Navy can be said to have no other opponents. Made successive Secretary of the Navy extremely proud.

At this time, there were two people sitting in the office of the Minister of the Navy, one was the current Minister of the Navy and Kawako Shiro, and the other was Nagano Slim, the Chief of Operations of the Navy.

"Nagano-kun, is this information accurate?" Oikawa Koshiro asked a little excitedly.

As the Minister of the Navy, especially the Supreme Commander of the Navy after taking over from Minister Minai, Oikawa Koshiro is under a lot of pressure.In particular, Minai Mitsumasa is a guy who strongly opposes war against the United States and Britain. His prestige in the navy is not small.It is not easy for Oikawa Koshiro to completely eliminate Yone's influence within the navy.

After taking office for more than half a year, although Koshiro Oikawa has made many efforts, the effect is only mediocre. The opposition to war against the United States and Britain still exists within the navy. Therefore, Oikawa urgently needs a hearty battle to shut up those guys in the navy.

"Oikawa-kun, don't worry, this information is sent back by our most secret intelligence personnel, even the army doesn't know it, it is absolutely accurate!" Nagano Slim replied, he himself has a very good relationship with Oikawa Koshiro, usually in private Communication is casual.

"There are quite a few Chinese naval fleets, including 1 light aircraft carrier, 5 cruisers, 12 destroyers, and 37 frigates. As for those freighters, they are completely negligible. Is the combined fleet capable of taking over this fleet?" Oikawa Koshiro asked worriedly.

"Mr. Oikawa, when it comes to the army, Chen Feng's department in China is indeed superior. We have to admire it. But the navy is another field after all. How can the navy of the Chinese people be called the navy? Even the navy of the Chinese government is now It’s not easy to be wiped out by the navy of the Great Japanese Empire. If the Ministry of the Navy is determined to do it, we have full confidence in destroying this Chinese fleet.” Nagano Slim said confidently.

"Mr. Nagano, please don't underestimate the enemy. The reason why the Chinese government's navy is vulnerable is because their government has been busy with civil wars and has not paid attention to the development of the navy. All ships are extremely old, and even their flagships are inferior to them. If you don’t join a light cruiser of the Empire, it’s like a primitive man holding a stone fighting a strong man equipped with a machine gun, the two sides are not rivals at the same level at all!” Oikawa Koshiro reminded.

"What does Oikawa-kun mean to say that the combat effectiveness of this Chinese navy will be very strong?"

"It's not impossible. You must know that the Chinese navy was trained by the Soviet Russian Navy and the American Navy, and ships were provided by these two countries, including heavy cruisers and aircraft carriers. Speaking of battleships, the equipment of the China Navy seems to be not much worse than that of the Imperial Navy, and if their naval crews are qualified, it is not impossible to pose a threat to the Imperial Navy fleet!" Oikawa Koshiro said.

"Mr. Oikawa, you don't worry too much. Since the establishment of this navy, our navy's intelligence personnel have attached great importance to it and sent a large number of intelligence personnel to collect information on this fleet. This Chinese navy is indeed formed by Soviet Russia and the United States. There seems to be a lot of people in the joint training, and the equipment is also provided by these two countries, but it is far worse than the imperial navy!"

"Why is this?"

"According to the information collected by our intelligence personnel, the Soviet Union and the United States did not really help the Chinese to form a navy at all. Although they sold more than 180 large and small warships to China, less than half of them are old guys who are about to be eliminated. Handing over to the Naval Academy as a training ship or a target ship is almost the same, and it will be exempted from going to the battlefield.”

"What's more important is that this navy has been established for less than a year. During this period, it has not been tested by war. Can an army that has not passed the test of war be called an army? The Ministry of the Navy will definitely accept this Chinese navy!"

"Since that's the case, Mr. Yongye, I authorize you in the name of the Supreme Commander of the Navy to command this naval battle against the China Navy, so as to completely wipe out the China Navy!"

"Hay!"
