    What makes Emperor Hirohito feel a little relieved is that the Imperial Army troops on the North American battlefield can finally be transferred to the Australian battlefield to counterattack the fierce offensive of the China Division troops. It is definitely not because of the selfless help of the Germans.

    Compared with the benefits that Japan gave up in North America, the transportation help provided by the Germans was simply insignificant, and it was what the Germans should do. Hirohito didn't appreciate it at all, let alone be grateful. He hated that little guy now.  Bearded Hitler, this German guy with a similar build to himself is a typical villain who adds insult to injury and takes advantage of others.

    Hirohito, who is also a villain, all hated Hitler. It can be seen how much the Germans hurt Japan this time, but it was just hatred. What else could he do? He didn't even dare to say a harsh word, and he wanted to  Thanks to the help provided by his close buddies, the Germans, this is also where Hirohito is depressed.

    What made Hirohito grit his teeth even more was that he received a secret message from the commander of the North American Combat Command, Ito Genzaburo, saying that the Germans had used the high-precision equipment and equipment used to attack the United States to attack the United States.  The organic ones were withdrawn and were not used by the Imperial Army at all. Among them were high-performance military radars that the Japanese Navy coveted.

    In this regard, Hirohito could only express his speechlessness. Hitler had made it clear that he had parted ways with the Empire of Japan. Now, Hirohito hated the man to death.  In addition to the China devil Tang Qiuli, the German head of state Hitler was added.

    If it is possible.  Hirohito even reconciled with the United States, shook hands, and jointly dealt with the Germans.  But that's just a thought. There is no possibility of reconciliation between Japan and the United States now. The two sides are enemies fighting for life and death.

    The Japanese, who were so aggrieved that they vomited blood, were forced to vomit out the North American interests they had obtained, and joined forces with the Germans to beat the fat and muscular behemoth of the United States to only half a tube of blood. The Japanese paid the price.  Definitely bigger than the Germans, but at the end of the day, they are about to enjoy the feast of the fruits of victory. Without the Japanese Empire, there will be nothing left. They will be eliminated early. This summer is a very painful and loss season for Emperor Hirohito and all Japanese.

    ??Similarly, Admiral Yamamoto, commander of the Japanese Navy¡¯s Combined Fleet, who was resting in northern Australia.  The mood was also quite unpleasant. After the first air battle in central Australia, the opponent was still Le Yiqin's land-based aviation unit, but it turned out to be the carrier-based aircraft group of the combined fleet.  Hang up the fight-free card and never show it again.

    From this, the reputation of the combined fleet was established.  Among the Imperial Army troops, they plummeted.  Especially Lieutenant General Morishita, the commander of the Imperial Army in Australia, was full of dissatisfaction and contempt.  Revealed.

    But Admiral Yamamoto was in vain. After the previous three days of aerial battles in the Southwest Pacific battlefield, the combined fleet's battle losses have not been replenished yet. The carrier-based aircraft and carrier-based aircraft pilots promised by the Navy have not yet arrived.  , so much so that it affected General Yamamoto's battle plan to go west to the East Indian Ocean and cut off the maritime supply line of the Australian Division.

    Admiral Yamamoto also considered using the existing strength of the Combined Fleet to sail westward to the East Indian Ocean to implement the established combat plan, but he considered it again and again and did not dare to take this risk. The Combined Fleet is currently resting in the Port of Darwin in northern Australia.  And the Gulf of Carpentaria, if you go west out of the East Indian Ocean, the first hurdle you have to pass is the Leyiqin land-based air force.

    If the combined fleet forces its way out of the East Indian Ocean, a war will inevitably break out with the division's land-based aviation. With the current strength of the combined fleet, Admiral Yamamoto is not sure of victory, even if he breaks through Le Yiqin's land-based aviation  After the interception of the fleet, what the combined fleet will face next is the huge fleet of land-based aviation units located at the naval and air force bases in the Chagos Islands.

    Thinking of this, Admiral Yamamoto felt a little scared, but it was not an option for the combined fleet to continue to rest in the northern port of Australia. The division troops on the Australian battlefield were attacking fiercely. Morishita sent hundreds of thousands of troops to block it, but they still could not stop it.  The pace of its attack was delayed step by step, struggling to support itself. Although the front was slow, it was advancing unswervingly towards northern Australia.

    As a result, the role of the combined fleet seemed very awkward. They stepped forward to help. The land-based fleet of the division aviation in Australia was a strong opponent. The outcome was unpredictable in a fight, and losses were inevitable. Looking on, such a large fleet  , has more than a thousand carrier-based aircraft, but does not lend a hand to help in the war zone, and sits back and watches the Imperial Army being beaten to a bloody head by the China Division troops. Not only does it have no excuse for the base camp, but it also causes a huge loss to the United Fleet's own image.  .

    The best place for the combined fleet is in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. But are there enemies there? No. If the China Division¡¯s fleet appears in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, Admiral Yamamoto willHe ordered the combined fleet to kill them without hesitation, but where did the Chinese division's fleet go?

    This July, General Yamamoto was in a similar mood to Emperor Hirohito. He was extremely irritable and depressed, and his temper became extremely irritable. Whenever something went wrong, not only some of the staff officers in the headquarters were scolded and scolded, but  Even the second-ranking figure in the Combined Fleet, Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Matsuda, was repeatedly reprimanded, which in turn affected the morale of the troops. The entire Combined Fleet was in a state of gloom.

    Finally, there was an opportunity for General Yamamoto to relieve himself and leave the Australian battlefield where he was in an awkward position. The General Staff of the base camp and the Navy Ministry jointly issued an order, "Currently, the empire is mobilizing a large number of troops from the North American battlefield to go to the Australian battlefield. In view of this, the huge  The troop transport fleet's sea voyage from North America to Australia requires strong naval escort. I specifically order your fleet to perform escort missions from now on! "

    After reading the order, Admiral Yamamoto suddenly felt relieved. A few hours later, the combined fleet of nearly a thousand ships of various types left northern Australia and headed towards the eastern Pacific waters.

    Before leaving, General Yamamoto did not even say hello to Lieutenant General Morishita, the commander of the Australian Army, and left in a hurry. After receiving the report, Lieutenant General Morishita spat hard in front of his chief of staff.  In front of him, he cursed rudely: "Coward! Coward! Hum, this is the so-called invincible Imperial Navy Combined Fleet? Is this Yamamoto Isoroku, who is known as the third god of war in the empire? Bullshit!"

    The current Lieutenant General Morishita is not in the early stage of the division's offensive, when the pressure is greatest. He still has more than 400,000 troops in hand. Although the combat effectiveness is not the strongest, there is still no problem in supporting the reinforcements from the North American battlefield.  .

    The 80,000 reinforcements from the North American battlefield were already at sea, which made Lieutenant General Morishita feel confident. He knew that as long as he withstood the division's attack and ensured that northern Australia was not lost, he would have done a great job.

    Therefore, Lieutenant General Morishita issued an order to his troops to fight for every inch of territory. He must hold a certain place even if all his troops are destroyed. If there are still soldiers who can fight, military law will be imposed if a place is lost. If the guard is lost, military law will be enforced.  If the officers and soldiers of the land are not broken, they will be shot on the spot!

    Under the strict orders of Lieutenant General Morishita, the Australian Japanese army fought fiercely. The Australian combat troops of the Australian division were divided into four groups to attack. The speed of advancement was greatly affected. At the same time, the casualties of the troops were also increasing. The battle was in central Australia.  On the front line, fierce fighting unfolded, with gunfire roaring and gunpowder smoke filling the air all day long.

    Lieutenant General Morishita ordered the troops to defend central Australia. This was not just a thought. He had a bigger idea. The Empire and Germany signed a treaty on the division of interests in North America. Judging from the area controlled by the Empire, at most 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers would be enough.  Well, then, of the more than 1.6 million elite imperial troops on the North American battlefield, at least more than 1.5 million will be transferred to the Australian battlefield!

    Coupled with the more than 400,000 people currently stationed in the Imperial Army in Australia, the total strength of the Imperial Army on the Australian battlefield will reach about 2 million. The position of the commander of such a huge and heavily armed group is of great importance.  it goes without saying.

    After much deliberation, Lieutenant General Morishita felt that he was the most suitable candidate and had natural advantages. He had stayed in Australia for several years and was familiar with the local conditions. Moreover, he was commanding the Imperial Army in a fierce battle with the China Division and did not change his position on the spot.  General's truth!

    Adding together the advantages in all aspects, the position of commander of the Imperial Australian Army belongs to him. It is time for the lieutenant general's epaulettes to be replaced by the general's epaulettes. Then he can officially enter the ranks of senior generals of the Imperial Army.  At this time, Lieutenant General Morishita worked hard. He braved the cannon fire and went to the front line to cheer up and boost the morale of various units. He was determined to make a name for himself and show it to His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp!

    The changes in the battlefield situation in Australia, the increasing will of the Japanese army to resist, and the increasing number of casualties among the troops made Tang Qiusheng aware of the problem. On the one hand, he ordered the four-pronged offensive troops to slow down the speed of the attack, and attack steadily, mainly to eliminate the effective strength of the Japanese army.  On the other hand, he reported the situation in detail to the division commander Tang Qiuli.

    The Japanese were busy deploying troops from the North American battlefield, and Tang Qiuli was not idle either. According to the orders of the division commander, the various regiments on the Southwest Pacific battlefield began to make preparations to assemble in southern Australia. After the directly affiliated regiments, they attacked Kaliman.  The Feng Jiwu Corps of Dan Island became the second unit to be transferred to the Australian battlefield.

    Major General Zhou Yushan, deputy director of the Division's Logistics Department, who was still desperately hoarding supplies in southern Australia, had just sent off his direct troops, and soon another main force was about to be shipped to Australia. He was a little overwhelmed.  Zhang Quan, the regional minister, please come back.

    After receiving the telegram from Zhou Yushan, Lieutenant General Zhang Quan, who was white-haired, energetic and in great health, took a plane from East India and flew back to Yangon. The Logistics DepartmentWhen they met Zhou Yushan on the ground, the two of them were not too polite. As soon as they arrived at the logistics department, Zhou Yushan, who had a sad look on his face, took out the order from the master's command and showed it to Zhang Quan.
