    "Order that the Army Air Force and Navy Land-Based Air Force originally stationed on the islands in the Eastern Pacific prepare in advance. When the field airports in the imperial-occupied areas on the west coast are repaired, all units will immediately move to other locations"

    "Ordered the Empire's North American Combat Command to move to Los Angeles. Chief of Staff General Minamino led the command's remaining personnel to come to Los Angeles immediately and ordered the Combined Fleet Carrier-based Air Force to carry out continuous operations against the retreating US troops from immediately on.  Intermittent air strikes!"

    The focus of General Yamamoto's three orders was to push the Army and Navy Air Force's field airfields forward to the newly occupied area. During the several-month air battle against the U.S. Army Air Force, he realized the beauty of mastering the air.  It is no exaggeration to say that the empire's victory in the landing battle on the west coast of the United States completely relied on the control of air power.

    At this time, General Yamamoto's war perspective had undergone profound changes, and he had new ideas about fighting in the United States. Therefore, he hated Hirano Yoshiki's overstepping of authority on his own initiative.

    At the same time, General Yamamoto also realized that the thinking and thinking of the army commanders under his command had become rigid, and they clung to the theory of the Continental Army and the Army's victory. The pursuit plan proposed by Hirano Yoshiki without permission was this  The specific expression of his thoughts, how could he rest assured about such a general?

    His eagerness to get his best friend, General Minamino, to come to Los Angeles contains another thought and expectation.

    Use Minano-kun's strategic vision and understanding of himself to try to change the rigid and fixed thinking of the army generals under the North American Combat Command.  Otherwise, I don't mind a major overhaul of the army under my command, replacing a large number of senior generals.  Let those guys who are stubborn and rigid in thinking get out of their current command positions!

    General Yamamoto knew that it was very dangerous for him to do this. He was going against the entire army system of the empire. He was facing pressure and counterattack from the big bosses of the army, even though he had the absolute trust of the Emperor in him and the command and control of him.  The great halo of the United States' war victory.  I'm afraid it's not easy to do. If you don't do it well, you will be ruined and end up miserable.

    Thinking of this.  Akatsuki is a strong-hearted General Yamamoto, and he can't help being discouraged and trembling, but he must go on, all for the sake of the empire at the minimum cost.  Win the war against the United States!

    The first batch of Japanese landing troops occupied the West Coast of the United States.  The arrival of the second batch of landing troops heralded a complete victory in the first stage of the landing war on the United States. General Yamamoto finally had enough confidence to report victory to Emperor Hirohito as the winner!

    When the telegram from General Yamamoto arrived in Tokyo, Emperor Hirohito burst into tears of excitement.  I personally issued the edict, "I declare to all the people. Today, the Imperial Navy commanded by Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku, successfully occupied the west coast of the United States and achieved complete victory in the first phase of the war against the United States!"

    As soon as Emperor Hirohito's edict was issued, Japan's court and public, and the whole country, from the royal family members to ordinary people, were all boiling with excitement. The whole of Japan was in a crazy excitement. When they went to the Emperor's Palace, they could not kneel down.  There are those who shout "Long live His Majesty the Emperor", and there are those who cut off their wrists, chop off their fingers, make themselves bloody and swear to join the Imperial Army.  .  .  .  .  .

    Anyway, the victory in the first stage of the war against the United States was like taking a stimulant to the Japanese. The whole country was in a kind of crazy excitement like estrus. A similar situation happened when Japan launched its war against China.  This also happened during the July 7th Incident of the war.

    The names of Emperor Hirohito and General Yamamoto are widely circulated in the mouths of Japanese people. His Majesty the Emperor is naturally deified to the extent that he cannot eat the fireworks of the world. The five generals of Yamamoto are known as, after Japan's war with Russia, they are praised.  Marshal Togo Heihachiro, the God of War, is Japan's third God of War after Field Marshal Nogi Nogi. This is the highest honor. Even General Ito Genzaburo, who won the Australian War for the Empire of Japan, has not received it.  .

    Emperor Hirohito was extremely satisfied with the five generals Yamamoto, and issued a special edict, "Specially granted to the Imperial Navy Admiral, Commander of the North American Combat Command Yamamoto Isoroku, arbitrary power during the war with the United States, and all combat plans can be determined by himself."  , just report it to the base camp!¡±

    "The headquarters only has the right to review the operational plans of the Imperial North American Combat Command, but not to deny it. Admiral Yamamoto has the power 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, Yamamoto can fight however he wants. He has the final say on how the generals are appointed and dismissed. I and the base camp will not interfere at all. Likewise, it is such a huge undertaking.  General Ito Yanzaburo has never obtained the power.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????We are extremely satisfied with General Yamamoto. The Battle of the West Coast Landing of the United States was not only a victory for the empire, but also a victory for the navy. Moreover, it was a victory achieved by a naval general after commanding the army forces, which gave the navy a head start over the army.  It provided strong evidence. For a time, General Yamamoto's limelight overshadowed all the army and navy generals, and his glory was unlimited!

    The big bosses of the Army were extremely depressed. Seeing the people of the Navy showing off their skills, they felt indignant in their hearts. To a large extent, the victory of the landing battle on the west coast of the United States was the result of the Army. The Army suffered more than ten casualties.  The victory was achieved at the cost of tens of thousands of people, but the laurel crown was placed on the head of Yamamoto. No matter how you look at it, the army felt aggrieved as a wedding dress for the navy during this landing battle.

    At this moment, the complaint letter from Lieutenant General Hirano Yoshiki, the commander of the Fourteenth Army of the Japanese Army, arrived at the base camp. The big bosses of the Army were like a treasure. While the whole country in Japan was celebrating the victory, a conspiracy was launched against Yamamoto.  The conspiracy of the five generals also quietly unfolded.

    In Berlin, Germany, in the conference room of the Heads of State, a very high-level military meeting is taking place. All the big bosses of the German party, government and military are in attendance. Among the dignitaries attending the meeting, there are many familiar faces. Commander of the German South American Army Group  Marshal Rommel was among them.

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

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

    Hitler talked about General Yamamoto with many words of praise, "Everyone, the five Japanese admirals, Yamamoto, stood out in this battle and brought a huge victory to the Japanese. To be fair, at the beginning, I was not optimistic about the Japanese.  But now, we must pay attention to this ally!"

    "Sedman, your General Intelligence Bureau should list Yamamoto Isoroku as a key target of attention. This Japanese commanding art is still worth learning from our generals. Unexpectedly!"

    "D?nitz, if you were to command the German team, could you achieve the same results as the Japanese?" Hitler looked at the German naval commander, Admiral D?nitz, and asked suddenly.

    "Frankly speaking, my head of state, no!" General D?nitz said calmly.

    Faced with General D?nitz's frankness, the leaders of the German party, government and military present at the meeting showed surprised expressions. Several of the military generals had a trace of disdain in their eyes. Only Hitler was full of eyes.  They are all expressions of appreciation.

    Hitler knew that D?nitz was a rigorous man, and his answer was not an admission of incompetence. The victory achieved by the Japanese was due to many factors, and before the landing battle began, the several-month air battle consumed a lot of energy.  The American air power is the most critical factor.

    "So, D?nitz, from your perspective, what suggestions do you have for the Imperial Army's upcoming attack?" Hitler continued to ask.

    "Yes, my head of state!" Admiral D?nitz stood up, walked to the large military map, and said: "The Navy believes that it can concentrate all naval forces to launch an attack on the east coast of the United States. However, the prerequisites  Yes, the navy needs enough landing troops!¡±

    Hitler smiled and gestured to General D?nitz, and continued.

    Admiral D?nitz continued: "The east coast of the United States, with its dense concentration of industry, commerce, and politics, supports most of the Americans' needs to maintain the war, especially Washington, which is the center of the United States. Attacking this region  , can shake the foundation of the United States and greatly reduce the difficulty of the German army fighting in the United States! "

    "But unfortunately, my head of state, the current situation of the German Navy is that it is responsible for one offensive direction alone and does not have that capability. Therefore, it requires strong cooperation and assistance from the army and air force, especially the strength of the Marine Corps.  To expand!¡±

    "Okay, I understand your opinion!" Hitler interrupted Admiral D?nitz. "After the meeting, you stay and talk about your plan in detail. Our German navy should be strengthened, and its gaze should not be just  Confined to the Atlantic Ocean!¡±

    Hitler¡¯s words shocked all the German party, government and military officials who attended the meeting. According to the F¨¹hrer¡¯s wishes, he planned to get involved in the Pacific region. This involves the issue of the shift of Germany¡¯s strategic direction.

    The Pacific Ocean is currently dominated by the Japanese. Does the head of state intend to compete with the Japanese for supremacy in the Pacific Ocean?

    But Germany and Japan are now teaming up to deal with the Americans. More importantly, on the other side of the Pacific, there is a super-heavyweight tiger, the F¨¹hrer¡¯s old friend, the Chinese Tang Qiuli. The situationIt¡¯s 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's talk about your opinions!"
