Chapter 835

If we can say that Germany in 1939 was singing a song of triumph in military affairs, and it had a style of invincibility, then since 1939, the Japanese Navy in the Pacific battlefield has really had a solemn and stirring wind.

Let the Japanese Navy provocation, even let the Japanese army crazy invasion of the Indian border near Myanmar, did not lead to Nimitz this big fish. Except for the occasional harassment of Wake Island, the U.S. Navy Fleet showed no signs of large-scale operations.

Yamamoto was completely desperate. He knew the weak nature of Japan's one-stop effort, declining again and again, and exhausting three times. He was caught by the Americans. The US Navy fleet is expanding at a visible speed. Although there is still a significant gap in the number of battleships between the two sides, the US Navy recently has three refitted escort aircraft carriers in service, and the number of destroyers and cruisers is even more frightening. This is not what Yamamoto hopes to see, nor is it what the Japanese Navy expects.

With the aggravation of the losses and the increasingly out of control of the war, there are some voices questioning Yamamoto in the Japanese base camp. Some people even think that we can't wait for the defeat to come, at least we should fight with a powerful United Fleet. Maybe the good wish of God to protect our Emperor can really come true.

But everything is the same as Yamamoto's prediction to his boss. The Japanese Navy will be invincible in one year, and it may not lose in two years, but it can't be guaranteed in three years. Now one year is not over, the word "invincible" of the Japanese naval joint fleet has become a bit ironic.

The year of 1939 may be quite different for the German Navy and the Japanese Navy. The German Navy was locked up in the port because of the shortage of fuel, and even had no chance to fight at sea. However, the Japanese Navy was struggling near the Marshall Islands and wanted to fight to the death, but it also had no chance to fight. It's a bad time. Everything is not going well.

There are more things that make Yamamoto angry than that. What really makes him despair is that many Japanese soldiers can't see the embarrassment of the Empire in front of them when the situation is declining. They arrogantly think that the great Japanese Empire is in the most powerful era in history, which they created.

The army and navy are still accustomed to internal fighting, and the intensity makes the emperor feel headache. The army is planning to squeeze all kinds of soft persimmons in an attempt to invade India and seize the British colony in India. It is unrealistic to imagine competing with the Germans for speed, to seize the Middle East and control more oil producing areas.

These arrogant guys are not willing to spread out their maps and look carefully at the branches of the Japanese army. They spread from the so-called "Manchuria" to Hebei, then from Shandong to Shanghai and Nanjing, and then to Guangzhou and other rich places. Hong Kong and Taiwan, all the way to the Philippines and Malaysia, are full of Japanese soldiers.

To the East, there is Australia, which is almost a huge sinkhole, where Japanese collective immigrants can't fill the vast desert. In the west, including Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Cambodia and Myanmar, Japanese forces have spread to the limit of their ability. Even in the mainland of China, where there are constant wars, they have been unable to reinforce a decent army.

Putting so many troops into such a scattered battlefield, and then making their own troops unable to make a fist, Japanese soldiers have lived in an island country for a long time. Once the idea of yearning for their boundlessness is released, it will be as irresistible as a flood of beasts. They wantonly expand and invade, but forget that they are just a greedy snake, not a real dragon.

In another time and space, when the Japanese army launched an attack on the battle of inpar, it drew up an almost idiotic combat plan, which can prove how far the army officers at that time had been carried away by victory. The whole army, with insufficient logistics, set foot on the road of an expedition, shouting the slogan of "down with inpal" and "eating with Churchill". It felt like victory was just around the corner.

No one can imagine that in March 1944, when the Germans were doomed to lose the Soviet German war, and the Japanese Navy had been drawn by the Americans, a Japanese general named xiaodongtiao, Murata Koizumi, even said: "the army is invincible in the world!"

In the eyes of Japanese army officers, if the Navy's idiots can't do anything, the army will try its best to succeed. Since the navy has lost the island and can't win the battle, the army must win a victory. Let the naval generals see who is the most powerful army in the great Japanese Empire.

So it's not surprising that the army will apply for supplies and prepare to launch a "battle of new inpal" when Yamamoto faces Nimitz's troubles. No one knows exactly what they think, but the date they choose and another time and space are almost March, when Myanmar's rainy season is coming.

Of course, although it seems that the performance of the Japanese high-level in the expansion plan and actual action is similar to that of Guo Degang and Yu Qian on the stage, their soldiers who are not afraid of the dead letter and look up to the high have come to the present with such unfavorable factors. Moreover, these parties do not think there is anything wrong with their funny strategic plan. They are all serious in solving problems, at least they think so.

Yamamoto scoffs at this plan to attack India. He is not even willing to ask about the implementation of the whole plan. Now he is anxiously waiting for his reinforcements in the Marshall Islands, that is, a batch of new warships built to seize the time, as well as the super Battleship Yamato, which is regarded as a secret weapon. The construction of the Yamato battleship was started several years ahead of schedule by Japan. Because Germany launched the war ahead of schedule, Japan also accelerated the manufacturing speed of the Yamato. In the end, the completion date of the battleship was advanced to April of 39, which made the Japanese Navy the first naval power in the world. Once this battleship comes into service, the strength of the Japanese Navy's battleship will become the first in the world, and no country can defeat Japan by artillery battle. This dream will soon become a reality. Yamamoto plans to use this warship as the core to launch a decisive battle against the United States. In a carefully selected sea area, Yamamoto will attack the U.S. fleet and sink those unpleasant U.S. aircraft carriers“ Marshal! According to the telegram from last night, because the Daiwa battleship is about to enter service, some escort ships have been sent in advance to adapt to the command and coordination. " An officer knocks on the door and walks into Yamamoto's lounge. His face is full of fatigue. After all, the Japanese Navy has had a hard time recently. Frequent small-scale contact has caused the Japanese Navy to lose a large number of troops, and the two sides often have destroyer level artillery contact. Although the Japanese Navy has made an excellent record of 12-18 and sank 18 American destroyers at the cost of sinking 12 destroyers, no one in the top management of the Japanese joint fleet can laugh. In the past few months, the United States has launched nearly 20 destroyers, which can be said to be more and more. At the same time, Japan has launched only four pathetic destroyers. The huge industrial capacity of the United States took the lead in the Navy and air force, so the Japanese realized the pressure brought by the powerful industry earlier than Germany“ "Oh?" Finally, when reinforcements arrived, Yamamoto reluctantly cheered up. No matter how brilliant the victory was, it could not cover up the fact that the United Fleet sank and lost its territory at the expense of its troops. Therefore, compared with the number of enemy ships to be annihilated, it is the number of new warships that can enhance the morale. So Yamamoto stood up and motioned to his assistant to take his clothes to him: "go! Go to the dock! I'm going to meet these imperial Marines from afar myself! They will be the new force of the United Fleet“ Then I'll call the port and ask the new captains of destroyers and supply ships not to leave their posts and wait for marshal to meet you. " Assistant is very familiar with the phone, began to arrange the Marshal's temporary itinerary. In the Marshall Islands, the temporary anchorage of the Japanese fleet, a simple wharf, the passionate melody of the military band sounded for a long time. The marshal of the Japanese Navy personally came to meet with all the captains of the destroyer convoy who came from the mainland for reinforcement. Among these destroyers, there are new ships launched by Japan, which can be said to be the latest destroyers of the Japanese Navy. Yamamoto warmly shook hands with each captain and encouraged them to fight bravely in the joint fleet with earnest words“ When I see you young, I think of myself. " He went to the last destroyer captain, saluted each other, patted each other on the shoulder and said, "you are the future of the Imperial Navy, the hope of the Imperial Navy! Fight bravely and do your duty as a Navy soldier for the great Japanese Empire What he said was so impassioned that these young destroyer commanders were excited. Most of these people have not experienced a real naval battle, and they still firmly believe that the Japanese Navy is invincible. So in their view, the time has come for them to make contributions and achieve their naval dream. The young officer, who was patted on the shoulder by Yamamoto 56, stood at attention with an excited look and responded to marshal Yamamoto 56's encouragement with the biggest voice: "I will lead all the officers and men on board to fight for our country to the death! Kenji Feitian, captain of Destroyer Xuefeng, salutes you, marshal—— We've made up for what we owe you. I hope you'll enjoy it. Ask for a monthly pass or something... Let's give more support. Thank you, Longling.
