Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    General Nagano Osamu had a lot of things to deal with and had no time to stay in the North American battlefield and come and go in a hurry. That evening, he took a special plane and left Salt Lake City to return to his homeland.  ¡¶

    Watching General Nagano's special plane, escorted by more than a dozen fighter jets, disappear into the brilliant sunset of the western sky, General Yamamoto felt a tightness in his chest, and there was a sense of loss and melancholy that could not be dismissed, and there was also an indescribable feeling in his heart.  dissatisfaction with His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp.

    Let Genzaburo Ito take over his position because General Yamamoto did not think highly of the grumpy and self-willed Ito at all. After taking over his position, it would be very dangerous for this person to deal with the Germans!

    On the other hand, Nagano-dono did not accept his opinions correctly out of public concern and the vital interests of the empire, and advised His Majesty the Emperor, recommending his close friend Hirohiko Minamino to take over his position, leaving him helpless and with a chill.  , the current situation in the empire is not very good, and the important ministers in the base camp are plotting against each other.

    Another point is that General Nagano revealed that soon the base camp will, in accordance with His Majesty the Emperor's order, transfer more than two-thirds of its troops from the North American battlefield to join the Australian battlefield. In the view of General Yamamoto, this is definitely a stupid decision.  .

    The total strength of the imperial army on the North American battlefield is only about 1.4 million, and more than two-thirds of it has been mobilized, that is, more than one million people, leaving only more than 300,000 troops, facing 400  The German army was at an absolute disadvantage, not to mention competing with the Germans for land in the central region of the United States, even in the current western region of the United States.  Whether it can be saved is not necessarily known.

    Having been dealing with the Germans on the North American battlefield for several months, General Yamamoto knew this very well.  Marshal Rommel, the commander of the German South American Army Group, was definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. At their core, the Germans were greedy and greedy for territory, even more than the Yamato people. They were insatiable hungry wolves with no taboos. Like this  to deal with the hungry wolves and divide the benefits of the war with the United States.  Can it be done without strong military support?

    The strong sea breeze blows from the west coast of the United States, carrying a bitter and salty taste.  Just like General Yamamoto's mood at the moment, he had a strong impulse to turn his thoughts and suggestions into words.  In the form of memorials.  Submit it to His Majesty the Emperor to change the tragedy that may occur. At least, the muscular Ito Genzaburo cannot be allowed to take over his position and push his close friend General Minamino.

    However, what Mr. Nagano said before boarding the plane roared in General Yamamoto¡¯s ears again.  "Yamamoto-kun, you are not in your position and do not seek to govern. You are no longer the commander of the Imperial North American Combat Command. I hope you will clearly understand this. It is best not to interfere in the internal affairs of the army. After I leave,  , you will hand over the duties to Ito Yanzaburo immediately, he already called me just now!"

    "Asshole! I'm so impatient!" General Yamamoto said to himself through gritted teeth, his tone filled with hatred and helplessness.

    Rear Admiral Matsuda, the chief of staff of the Combined Fleet next to him, saw that his superior's face was very ugly, and knowing the reason, he asked: "Your Excellency, Commander, shall we go back now?"

    Seeing that his boss had no expression, Chief of Staff Matsuda continued to persuade: "Commander, you don't have to worry too much. After leaving the North American battlefield, you will also create more brilliant achievements in the East Indian Ocean! What's more, the fleet's opponent this time,  It is the mortal enemy of the empire - the China Independent Division fleet. Defeating or even annihilating the China Independent Division fleet is more fulfilling than fighting the Americans! "

    "Matsuda-kun, I'm not concerned, but worried! I'm worried that the North American battlefield will be messed up by this Ito Genzaburo!" General Yamamoto said with infinite melancholy, "Okay Matsuda-kun, don't talk about this matter anymore, you follow me  Let¡¯s go to the headquarters together and hand over military affairs to the impatient Ito. In addition, order all ships in the fleet to prepare for departure! "

    "You are right, that is our new battlefield. It is more meaningful to eliminate the Chinese than to eliminate the Americans!" General Yamamoto's mood seemed to be higher, but the dark cloud lingering in his heart lingered.  .

    When General Yamamoto returned to the headquarters with Chief of Staff Major General Matsuda, General Ito Genzaburo, the supervisor of the North American battlefield at the base camp and who was about to take over as commander of the North American Combat Command, had been waiting for a long time with several senior staff officers.  .

    The scene of the handover of duties was definitely not pleasant and harmonious. As the saying goes, "It's not a word," General Ito and General Yamamoto were not on the right track. They usually had little contact with each other. Although they were both on the North American battlefield, they  They are the kind of people who have never been in contact with each other since old age. They were also from two factions in the Japanese military circles that had old grievances, let alone being close to each other.

    General Yamamoto waved his hand and asked Chief of Staff Matsuda to handle matters related to the handover of military affairs. General Ito also simply asked his followers.?The senior staff officers who came here took over. General Minamino, as the chief of staff of the North American Combat Command and the second most important figure, could not be absent. Naturally, he was also present. He probably respected his status and did not interfere in the handover.  Go into things.

    The three generals of the Japanese Empire were all sitting there with cold faces and said nothing. General Ito and General Yamamoto had nothing to talk about and did not want to talk. General Minamino and General Ito had no friendship.  I have nothing to say. I have a close personal relationship with General Yamamoto, but on this occasion, I cannot have a heated chat with General Yamamoto in front of General Ito. After all, am I still the chief of staff?

    Therefore, the handover of the commander of the North American Combat Command this time presented a strange atmosphere, stiff and cold with a hint of hostility, which made the chief of staff of the division and several other officials responsible for the handover  The senior staff officer was so nervous that he was sweating all over his body.

    Probably because he felt that just sitting there like a clay sculpture was too unkind, and it was not the demeanor of an imperial general. As a close friend of General Yamamoto and the chief of staff of General Ito, General Minamino felt that he had to break the deadlock.  , lest word get out and become a big joke!

    "Ito-kun, you will take up your new post soon. I believe that the Imperial North American Operations Command will shine under the chairmanship of Ito-kun! It will definitely live up to His Majesty the Emperor's high hopes and expectations!" General Minamino said in a relaxed tone  said in a tone of voice.

    General Minamino¡¯s words were somewhat of a compliment, but General Ito didn¡¯t appreciate it and just snorted from his nose as a response.

    General Minamino was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Yamamoto-kun, although you have handed over military affairs in the North American battlefield, I think that after all, you have been the commander for such a long time, and you still know something about some things in the North American battlefield.  Yes, Yamamoto-kun, before you go to the East Indian Ocean battlefield to make contributions, can you reveal some of your experience to Ito-kun? Yamamoto-kun, you can¡¯t keep it to yourself!¡±

    General Minamino's words were quite humorous, with the intention of making a joke. He took on the responsibility of such a joke based on his friendship with General Yamamoto. At the same time, he also advised his close friends to put the interests of the empire first and not to do the same thing as Ito.  People care!

    They knew each other very well, and General Yamamoto fully understood the good intentions of his best friend. He was very disgusted with Ito's attitude, but he did not forget that he was an imperial servant. In the face of the interests of the empire, Ito's attitude was insignificant, and he also  I want to explain my thoughts to General Ito. There are two main meanings. First, in the current North American battlefield, combating the US military has been relegated to a secondary position. Second, dealing with the Germans to ensure that the empire has  The benefits obtained are the most important!

    For this reason, even if Ito lowered his head and thought about it, it would not matter. General Yamamoto exhaled slowly, calmed down his mood, and after adjusting his mood, he said: "Ito-kun, from my understanding, the current empire in North America  The main task of the combat command is

    Unexpectedly, General Yamamoto had just spoken a few words when he was rudely interrupted by General Ito, "General Yamamoto, it is undeniable that you fought very well in the opening stages of the empire's war with the United States, but this does not mean that  , your opinion is correct, every commander has his own thinking and tactics, as well as his own unique command style!"

    "Commanding naval operations and commanding army operations are two completely different routines. I don't have to worry about General Yamamoto's next matters on the North American battlefield. I understand your kindness, but I don't want it to affect my own battle.  General Yamamoto, please stop talking!"

    "Choke!" General Yamamoto was so choked by General Ito's words that he almost lost his breath. His chest was burning. No matter how generous he was, he couldn't accept it. He suddenly turned pale, stood up and walked away.  In the end, he didn't even look at General Ito again.

    "Hmph!" Looking at General Yamamoto walking away, General Ito snorted several times with a look of disdain.

    General Minamino, who wanted to make peace with him, was also furious. Flames were roaring in his heart. He tried hard to find a topic for the two unruly people. What was he trying to do? It wasn't from the foundation of the Japanese Empire.  Consider the interests!

    But what did Ito, a bastard with a head full of muscles, do?  It was unbearable. General Minamino was ready to let go and have a quarrel with General Ito. Anyway, he, the chief of staff, was not ready to continue. Following a bastard like Ito, why not make himself angry to death?

    Before General Minamino could fire, General Ito came to him and said, "Chief of Staff Minamino, please remember that you are the Chief of Staff of the Empire's North American Combat Command. The Chief of Staff should do his job well. Don't  You are exceeding your authority, let alone trying to challenge my authority as commander!¡±

    "To get rid of??My own position, and one more thing, I must remind you, I am not Yamamoto Isoroku, this is particularly important!  "
