Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

As soon as Hata Toshiroku finished speaking, the Minister of the Navy, Dajiao stood up abruptly, and told Hata Junroku that he wanted to ruin the navy, and even the entire empire.

At present, there are only 22 aircraft carriers in the Imperial Navy, and the Southern Fleet has [-] ships. There are also three ships in the Bohai Sea to escort the three eastern provinces. The remaining seven ships are all in the Baodao (Taiwan) Strait, the East China Sea and the mainland. The last power of the homeland.

Since the fall of Shandong, the mainland has been within the range of the long-range bombers of the Zhina Army, and it is no longer absolutely safe. The empire can no longer allow the mistake of the second Tokyo bombing. Based on this, the defense of the mainland must not be excessively deployed.

The number of aircraft carriers that the Zhina Army has appeared in the South China Sea has reached thirteen, and they are supported by powerful land-based aviation firepower. A decisive battle with them in the Qiongzhou Strait is simply asking for death.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if we try our best to mobilize the naval fleet for support, it will be three days later. Whether there is still a viable force of the locust army on Hainan Island after three days is still a matter of opinion.

Therefore, Hata Shunroku is simply irresponsible nonsense.

But Hata Toshiro didn't think so, and retorted that the territory of Hainan Island was not small, and they didn't even have enough time to run around the island in three days. How could it be possible to completely defeat the locust army within three days?

As long as the navy takes a decisive battle with the navy within three days, it can largely disperse their attack on the island, and at least buy time for the 21st army to retake the Leizhou Peninsula, and then delay it for three or four days with their hypocrisy. In time, the main force of the Southern Fleet will arrive.

With the excellence of the aircraft carrier Shinano of the Locust Army, the powerful gunfire of the battleship Musashi, and the urgent delivery of a batch of Sakura aircraft to Hong Kong, and the bravery of the Kamikaze Special Forces, who said that they could not compete with the navy?

This battle will be fought sooner or later, why can't it be in front of the eyes, is the locust navy afraid and timid?

Hata Junliu spoke very fast, and the words he said were like shells that exploded in the conference room. They were extremely weighty, and instantly gained some supporters.

I have to say that his words seem to have some truth. The decisive sea battle between the national army and the island army is inevitable. With the amazing manufacturing power of the national army, who knows how much stronger their sea power will be in a few months?

Rather than waiting for them to become stronger, it is better to fight to the death while they are quite strong.

The army headed by Hata Shunroku and the navy headed by Okaku Qinsheng formed two camps, and the two sides began to argue in the conference room, fighting for each other.

At this time, Admiral Yamamoto 56, the commander of the Navy's combined fleet, stood up. As the direct leader of the navy, he has more say in this battle or not.

After the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, the island army wiped out the remnants of the US, British, Dutch and Australian troops stranded in the Dutch East Indies through a series of amphibious landings or surface warships represented by the Java Sea naval battle.

Occupy the Dutch East Indies and drive out all the Philippine troops, thus ensuring the important resource origin in Southeast Asia.All the initial strategic goals were achieved with unimaginable efficiency and minimal losses. All of this, Yamamoto 56 has made great contributions, and its position in the empire is unshakable.

Although after the battle of Midway Island, the navy of the island country gradually lost its command of the sea and air in the Pacific Ocean, but this was not a matter of his personal ability, but rather the emergence of advanced weapons such as various aircraft, missiles, and aircraft carriers of the Allied Forces, and the military power of the island country could not keep up. The current situation was caused by following in their footsteps.

Therefore, this Yamamoto 56, which was already broken in history, was lucky enough to catch the butterfly effect brought by Jiang Haoran, and survived to the present Yamamoto 56. Repeat) is still the soul of the island nation's navy, and is highly respected among the island nation's high-level officials.

As a result, just as Yamamoto 56 got up, Tianlocust knocked on the table for him, signaling the venue to be quiet, and obviously had high hopes for him.

The venue quickly quieted down, and everyone sat back to their seats, looking at Yamamoto 56 with a posture of listening attentively.

Yamamoto 56 organized his language a little, and began to eloquently.

First of all, he believes that the Imperial Navy does not have the strength to compete with the Pacific Fleet at present. First, the Imperial Navy is not prepared at all, and the temporary mobilization of various naval fleets cannot form an effective attack force. Three or five aircraft carrier fleets stepped forward. The empire will not be given the opportunity to pretend to be a snake, and it will inevitably swarm up, encircle and annihilate them, and the imperial navy will not wait until the southern fleet gathers to attack.

Secondly, the empire's material reserves are not enough to support such a life-and-death decisive battle, which is not at the same level as the powerful logistics of the navy that came prepared.

Thirdly, except for the navy that is superior in the quality of soldiers of the Imperial Navy, other aircraft carriers and weapons are far behind them.

Many ships of the Imperial Navy can be traced back to before World War I, and the ships are old and dilapidated.And the navy is all newly built, and its performance and speed are higher than those of imperial warships.

The locust army's carrier-based aircraft can't be compared with them. After the Hellcat was born, the zero battle has been completely at a disadvantage, especially their anti-ship missile? Method.

Therefore, any clamor for a decisive battle is extremely irresponsible, which will push the entire empire on a road to death.

"Then according to what you said, we'll just have to be slaughtered, there's no need to fight at all?" Hata Junroku said angrily.

Yamamoto 56 was not angry either, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Although the situation is not good for the locust army, it is not to the point of being slaughtered. In the final analysis, the choice of the second island chain is wrong. If we listened earlier Yes, choosing the location between Luzon Island and Treasure Island, why would there be immediate disasters? Now is the time to make up for it.”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals of the army lowered their heads. Long before the construction of the second island chain, the Navy strongly suggested that the construction of the second island chain should rely on the construction of defense lines between Fujian, Baodao, and Luzon Island, because this This line is relatively short. Compared with the gradual weakening of the imperial navy, the line of defense is tighter, and the investment in manpower and material resources will not be too much. The relatively narrow sea area can greatly relieve the pressure on the navy. They only need to block The Taiwan Strait and the Bashi Strait can block the invasion of the Chinese Pacific Fleet. Now it seems that the navy's suggestion is very correct.

It's a pity that neither the army nor the headquarters at that time wanted to give up the granary of Hainan Island, the rich mineral resources on the island, and the construction that the empire had invested heavily over the years.
