    Chapter 842: The Defeated Japanese Navy

    In the Battle of Tsushima Island, Huang Shanhu, captain of the Guard Brigade of the ** Division, used one of his troops and the Chutian Division of the 9th Special Operations Squadron to annihilate more than 1,400 Japanese troops on the island without any casualties.  It was said to be a complete victory, but Shan Hu was not happy. Such a battle was definitely boring and unenergetic for Shan Hu, who was eager to fight fiercely on the battlefield.

    He was holding a machete and slaughtered several chickens. Shan Hu was not happy. Meeting such a little devil made him consider himself unlucky. He even wondered whether Tang Qiuli knew in advance that the little devil on Tsushima Island was like this.  Why do you let yourself do such an unchallenging job if you don't live up to your expectations?

    After walking around Tsushima Island, there was really nothing to do that interested Yamato. He listlessly ordered the operator: "Send a report to the division headquarters immediately. The battle on Tsushima Island is over. More than a thousand Japanese troops.  All were wiped out, and the guard brigade requested to evacuate. By the way, there were no casualties in our unit, not even a scratch."

    The operator looked at Shan Hu in confusion. He didn't understand how the captain, who had won the battle, could be so depressed and add such nonsense to the telegram to the division commander.  But looking at Shanhu's big eyes, he swallowed the words when they came to his lips and hurriedly went to send the report.

    Soon, Tang Qiuli called back, "Congratulations to your unit for successfully completing such an arduous task. Evacuate immediately and return to the Qingdao base. The captured Japanese warships will return with your unit." Shan Hu was happy and muttered to himself, "Xiao Qiu  Is this because you are deliberately trying to disgust me? It¡¯s just a piece of rotten garlic and it¡¯s still an arduous task?¡± That¡¯s fine. We can take a plane and a sailboat when we arrive and a warship when we go back, which will save our landlubbers from vomiting in the sky.

    "Pass my order to all troops to evacuate Tsushima Island immediately. Also, all materials that can be moved should be loaded on ships," Shan Hu ordered. He himself found it interesting. When did he learn the skills of that old man Zhang Quan?  Be careful, can you live a good life?  In fact, Shan Hu misunderstood what Tang Qiuli meant. The arduous task he mentioned was for the Pacific Fleet to safely pass through the Tsushima Channel. In Tang Qiuli's mind, this was more important than killing several Japanese divisions.

    After passing the Tsushima Channel, the fleet entered the Yellow Sea. Qiuquan's tense heart also relaxed. After a series of fierce battles, the fleet's losses were minimal. In the sky, the escort aircraft group of the Japanese Air Force was always there.  The fleet is hovering in the sky. Now, even if several Japanese fleets attack at the same time, Qiuquan is not worried.

    The remaining days of sailing were calm. Qiuquan completely handed over the command of the fleet to the captain, Colonel Magotrovsky. After several air battles with the Japanese Navy's land-based aviation in the Sea of ??Japan, these Soviet sailors'  The performance has completely changed, and the way they look at the soldiers of the special operations detachment is also very different from before.

    It can be seen that soldiers all worship the strong. The combat effectiveness and fighting will of the Chinese soldiers impressed these Soviet sailors. They believed that they could not do this under the circumstances at that time, especially the Chinese  The powerful strength of the air force shocked these prisoners of war who changed hands even more, and they had some expectations and hopes for that distant and unfamiliar place.

    Qiuquan's trust and respect for the Soviet officers were imprinted in their hearts. Colonel Magotrovsky performed his duties with all his heart. Qiuquan continued to observe and learn on the warship every day.  A new world unfolded in front of him, and this world attracted him firmly. His life was leisurely and fulfilling. Only he knew how much effort he had put into it from the moment he entered Haishanwei.

    For more than twenty days and nights, he has worked hard for this moment. Only Qiuquan himself knows the feeling. Sometimes he also thinks that his brother's vision is so accurate every time.  The situation in the Far East was within his expectations. He was truly a mysterious person.

    Qiuquan was thinking about Tang Qiuli on the Yellow Sea. Tang Qiuli at the Qingdao base was looking forward to seeing the fleet as soon as possible every day. In order to welcome the arrival of these warships, the Qingdao base was undergoing intense expansion. Tang Qiuli  Take out all the knowledge about the navy in your mind and use it.

    He personally supervises the progress of the project every day. This fleet contains all his hopes. In his self-deprecating words, "it's like looking forward to a lover from afar." Mei Ting and Mei Xue, who are far away in Dingbian, come to him one after another.  I wrote several letters, filled with endless thoughts and concerns.

    Tang Qiuli's reply was full of talk about the fleet, which made the Mei sisters very jealous. Mei Xue wanted to come to Qingdao. Tang Qiuli really missed his wife, so he agreed, feeling worried in his heart.  With more expectations, maybe the fleet will arrive on the same day as Mei Xue, he thought to himself.

    This early winter is a harvest season for Tang Qiuli, but for the Japanese, it is a mixed blessing. The Japanese Navy¡¯s land baseThe air force was completely lost, and Navy Minister Mitsumasa Yoneuchi once again lost face in front of the army. Emperor Hirohito had repeatedly made no achievements in the navy, but repeatedly lost troops. This time, he lost the Soviet Pacific Fleet again and was furious.

    Hirohito was furious and distressed. The Navy was so unsatisfactory. He had been secretly favoring the Navy, but these drunken men and women slapped him in the face again and again. More than a hundred warships were destroyed by that Chinese devil Tang Qiuli.  Gone, and hia emerged from the Sea of ??Japan unscathed.

    In Hirohito¡¯s mind, the Sea of ??Japan is the swimming pool in his backyard. Tang Qiuli was able to take away more than a hundred warships from Haishanwei. Is there anything he can¡¯t do in the future?  Therefore, Hirohito had the idea of ????conducting a major overhaul of the navy. With a piece of order, Mitsumasa Yoneuchi rushed back to Tokyo in despair.

    Hirohito met the dejected Mitsumasa Yoneuchi at the palace. Hirohito, who had a donkey temper, neither got angry nor scolded him. He just stared at him with cold eyes for a long time, until Mitsumasa Yoneuchi sweated all over his body and his calves were beaten.  Shivering, the muscles on his face had stiffened, and his heart was beating violently uncontrollably.

    If His Majesty the Emperor scolded him, or if Mitsuru gave him a few slaps, Mitsumasa Yoneuchi would feel much better, but His Majesty the Emperor, who often has black lines popping up on his face, would not use this method to look at a bunch of stinky dogs.  The shit-like eyes staring at him made Mitsumasa Yoneuchi's heart sink, and his confidence was withdrawn from his body little by little by Hirohito's eyes.

    "Hey" Emperor Hirohito suddenly let out a faint sigh. This sigh ignited a glimmer of hope in Mitsumasa Yoneuchi's heart, because from this sigh, he could hear too many complicated emotions of His Majesty the Emperor, not all of them.  The abandonment and dissatisfaction should also have the meaning of regret and hatred that iron cannot become steel.

    "Your Majesty," Mitsumasa Yoneuchi mustered up the courage and just shouted, "Shut up." Hirohito shouted violently and interrupted him rudely. Mitsumasa Yoneuchi's heart, which had just been a little warm, fell very heavy, and instantly became cold.  , it was cold to the core, he couldn't help but shudder, and a deep despair came over his heart.

    "It's time for you to rest. Immediately hand over all the work to the base camp and go home to think about your mistakes. Considering your loyalty to me in the past, I will not punish you. The navy has really disappointed me and is no longer able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Japanese Empire.  "Compared to the Army's record, the Navy is really embarrassing, please resign," Hirohito said quietly.

    Hirohito's voice was low and erratic, as if it came from a far away place. When it was heard in Mitsumasa Yoneuchi's ears, it was like thunder, making him tremble all over. His soul seemed to have left his body, and he was abandoned like this.  ?  Like a pile of rubbish, how many things have you done for the Empire of Japan and His Majesty the Emperor in your lifetime?

    I have devoted all my life's efforts to His Majesty the Emperor's cause of opening up Greater East Asia. The Navy was determined to build the most glorious navy in the Japanese Empire. This dream was shattered. I felt grievances, dissatisfaction, despair, and unwillingness. Extremely complex emotions made me  Mitsumasa Yoneuchi was almost about to explode, so he simply took the risk and said all he had to say. He raised his head and saw Hirohito's eyes.

    Cold, vicious, and full of disdain, whatever courage he had mustered up was like the flame of a candle, extinguished in an instant when encountering strong winds. Like a defeated rooster, he staggered out of the palace. He knew the consequences of his desperate move, that is  , it is impossible to walk out of the palace alive today. In the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, he is already a useless person, worse than trash.

    Mitsumasa Yoneuchi was dismissed and ordered to think about his mistakes behind closed doors. Hirohito made a major change in the Navy. Almost all the senior generals in the Navy were replaced. Hashimoto Santaro took over as the Minister of the Navy. The newly promoted generals were all long-term veterans.  Mitsumasa Yoneuchi suppressed people who were outside the core decision-making circle of the Japanese Navy.

    These generals, within the Japanese Navy, are completely young, more aggressive, more fanatical, and the war of aggression against Japan is their life's creed and purpose. Later, the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Sanben Wu**  It was at this time that General stood out and entered the decision-making level of the Japanese Navy.

    Emperor Hirohito's original intention was to use these young generals to restore the decline of the navy. He did not want the army to stand out and become uncontrollable, nor did he want to beat the navy to death with a stick and never be able to turn around. The way of an emperor is to weigh and control  Equally important, divide and conquer, Hirohito would not be stupid enough to hang himself on the Army tree.

    His idea was good, and the young generals of the Navy were indeed up to their game. In the later Southeast Asian War, they conquered cities and territories for Emperor Hirohito and the Empire of Japan, swept across Southeast Asia, and dominated the South Pacific. For a time, the iron hooves of the Japanese were everywhere.  The ground in Asia is filled with dust.

    However, one thing Hirohito did not expect was that what he released was a group of war madmen. Southeast Asia was obviously unable to satisfy these young navy generals.With an appetite, they stared with blood-red eyes, looking for opponents in the vast Pacific Ocean, and finally found the fat and strong Americans.

    What's more, there is Tang Qiuli. Even if the Japanese don't fight the Americans, he will provoke a war between the United States and Japan, just like controlling the Far East War between the Soviet Union and the Japanese. This is just Tang Qiuli.  As part of Li's overall plan, the Kwantung Army gained the upper hand in the Far East and Tang Qiuli's goal was basically achieved.
