Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Oh?" Emperor Hirohito's eyes glanced over. The weight of Koichi Minai was unmatched by Yao Gaoyao, but he did not express his position immediately. He just pondered, still hesitating in his heart, just worried, Ito  Yan Sanlang was once defeated by the Chinese demon Tang Qiuli. I'm afraid there will be some shadow in his heart?

    Koichi Mineuchi has such a vicious vision. He can best understand Emperor Hirohito's thoughts. Otherwise, he would not be able to remain in favor for many years and proudly stand on the throne of the number one person in the Imperial Army. He can lead the army generals, call the wind and rain, and influence the situation of the war. He probably knows this.  Why is His Majesty the Emperor hesitant?

    "Your Majesty!" Miuchi Yoneuchi bowed deeply again and said calmly: "The reason why I agree with Yatsuo-kun is nothing more than the following points. First of all, Ito Genzaburo is one of the generals who always leads troops in the Imperial Army. In addition to  Apart from serving as the Undersecretary of Military Affairs at the base camp, he has never left the battlefield!"

    "Secondly, Ito Genzaburo had outstanding military exploits when he commanded the Empire's offensive army in Australia. He swept through the Allied forces and secured a huge piece of Australian land for the Empire. This is the only reason why he is listed as the most suitable candidate!"

    "Ito Genzaburo has been fighting with the Allied forces in Australia for many years. He is familiar with the local geography, people, natural conditions, and commanding troops to fight. Naturally, there is no sense of strangeness. Furthermore, most of the current Imperial Australian Front troops were his troops when they invaded Australia.  The veterans of the army are more familiar with the characteristics of commanders at all levels, making it easier to command!¡±

    "As for the past years, in the Southern China continent, I was defeated at the hands of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli. It has been many years. I am afraid that no matter what the battle was, Ito Yanzaburo also benefited a lot, and he did not have to avenge his shame.  Defeat? Learn from the experience. Learn your shame and be brave. The above points are the reasons why I agree with Yawei-kun!"

    "Kouichi Yoneuchi is definitely a master at figuring out the emperor's thoughts. These words really spoke to Emperor Hirohito's heart and relieved his worries. This is one of the secrets of Kouichi Yoneuchi's success in being favored for many years.

    The head of the army has spoken, and the other generals will naturally not come forward to fight.  The principle of playing devil's advocate, so there was a chorus of agreement, except for Prince Zai Ren, whose eyes flickered, and no one knew what he was thinking about?

    "Well, since Aiyou Minai and all the Aiyous have unanimously recommended Ito Genzaburo to be the commander of the Imperial Australian Front, then I will accept it!" Emperor Hirohito said calmly, and he was still satisfied, especially  Miuchi's words dispelled his worries.

    "However, there are some words.  Still speaking, Emperor Hirohito continued: "Let the general staff of the base camp issue the order. I will not issue royal orders for the time being. After Ito Aiky¨­ makes new achievements in the Australian battlefield, I will reward you greatly!"

    Hirohito was cautious and kept a low profile for now.  Don't make any noise. Everyone in the world knows that Ito Yanzaburo is about to face Tang Qiuli, the Chinese devil who has defeated many famous generals in the empire. It is hard to say whether he will win or lose. If he is defeated, he will still be embarrassed. Of course, he will be the one who loses.  , in his heart, Hirohito definitely does not want Ito Yanzaburo to lose the battle, but he must also be mentally prepared.

    The candidate for the commander-in-chief of the more than two million Japanese troops in the Australian battlefield has been determined. Next, various departments in the base camp began to make pre-war preparations for this unprecedented war that staked the future and destiny of the empire.

    Including Koichi Yonai, no one knows what kind of equipment supply plan Yamamoto Isoroku had before his death. If they knew, they would not think that a decisive battle with the independent division troops on the Australian battlefield would be a pressure.  It¡¯s not a big deal. If Yamamoto Isoroku hadn¡¯t died and he had equipped Japanese and Australian troops and independent division troops as planned, the battle would have been much more difficult, and the casualties of the troops would have reached astonishing numbers!

    Emperor Hirohito convened a military meeting in the palace to determine the candidate for the Japanese commander of the Australian battlefield. At the residence of Navy Minister Nagano Shuzo, all the big-name figures of the Japanese navy were also gathered. The theme of the discussion was to determine the joint naval forces.  The choice of fleet commander.

    Before the meeting began, Nagano Shuzo did not hide the sad news that Yamamoto Isoroku had been martyred for his country from the navy generals. This shocking news really made the generals' heads go blank. Who was Yamamoto Isoroku?  The soul of the Imperial Navy, a symbol of invincibility, commanded the combined fleet to sweep across the Pacific, shattering the U.S. Navy into pieces and completely daring not to leave the West Coast.

    How could such a character suddenly die for his country? The topic among the generals immediately focused on one point, that is, "How did General Yamamoto end up in pieces?"

    According to their habitual thinking, the navy bosses who attended the meeting at the official residence immediately thought that this was the work of those bastards in the Army. The reason is very simple. Yamamoto Tamashii, those who are interested are of course the Army.  The position of commander of the Imperial Australian Front is valuable enough.So that the Army can do something that is outrageous to both humans and gods!

    As a result, the atmosphere of the meeting changed. Several big bosses of the Navy, with foam at the mouth and bloodshot eyes, clamored to go into the palace to ask for an audience with the Emperor, expose the Army's conspiracy, and severely punish the murderer and the mastermind behind the scenes.  , as for the interception of China fighter jets, it was purely a smoke screen put up by the Army. There has never been a trace of China fighter jets in the airspace of the Northern Mariana Islands!

    Seeing that several of the big guys had lost their minds, General Nagano Shuzo slammed the table with a bang, his face darkened, and he said sternly: "Evidence? What evidence do we have that proves that Yamamoto-kun's death was caused by people from the Army group?"  ? If I have evidence in hand, I will never remain silent when I meet His Majesty the Emperor!"

    "Everyone calm down. The top priority now is to determine the candidate for the commander of the Combined Fleet. The Combined Fleet is the foundation of the Navy and cannot be lost. In addition, regarding the death of Yamamoto-kun, the Navy must form a secret investigation team to investigate to the end.  To uncover the truth, if it is proven that it was the Army and others who did it, I won¡¯t hesitate even if it stains Tokyo with blood!¡±

    The leader spoke, and several navy bosses who were angry just now also calmed down. Yes, if you rashly go to see His Majesty the Emperor without any evidence in your hand, you might even get bitten by someone from the Army.  !

    The topic returned to its original track. For the candidate of the commander of the Combined Fleet, several big guys each recommended three people. One was Lieutenant General Matsuda Jiro, who is currently the chief of staff of the Combined Fleet, and the other once served as the commander of the China Fleet and is currently the Navy.  Lieutenant General Koga Mineichi, commander of Yokosuka Prefecture.

    The last one is Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi, who once served as the commander of the Imperial Navy Task Force. After losing the battle with the U.S. Navy Pacific Fleet in the Midway Islands in the Eastern Pacific, he was dismissed and stayed at home for several years.

    The three candidates each have their own advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of Lieutenant General Matsuda Jiro is that he has been the chief of staff of the unfortunate Admiral Yamamoto for many years. He is very familiar with and understands Admiral Yamamoto¡¯s ideas and habits, and can uphold the excellent qualities of the Combined Fleet.  The disadvantage of tradition is that he has always been a staff officer and has never commanded a fleet alone. In addition, he lacks prestige and qualifications within the navy.

    Lieutenant General Koga Mineichi, who is currently the commander of the Yokosuka Defense Force, can be called an old man of the Imperial Navy. He had experience in commanding the Imperial Navy fleet alone before, but that was many years ago. Since then, he has been serving as a naval base.  As a commander, I have been away from front-line command for many years, so I am afraid that I am very skilled.

    Among these three people, the most complicated one is Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi who is idle at home. This guy¡¯s qualifications within the navy are similar to those of Yamamoto Isoroku. He has the qualifications and experience to command a naval task force alone. If  Without the Battle of Midway and the defeat of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet, Chuichi Nagumo's reputation and status within the Imperial Navy would not necessarily be much lower than that of Yamamoto Isoroku.

    It is even very possible that he is one of the good contenders for the commander of the combined fleet. This person is obviously much better than Jiro Matsuda and Mineichi Koga in terms of ability and experience in commanding fleet operations. In addition, he is mature, prudent, and calm-minded.  He has a rigorous mind and is a suitable candidate to be the commander of the combined fleet.

    However, his few years of idleness are also obvious shortcomings. Speaking of which, Nagumo Chuichi was left out. He caused an uproar within the Imperial Navy back then. There were many generals who lost a battle in the Imperial Navy. There were many generals on the battlefield.  There are generals who are always victorious. Therefore, it was very sudden that Nagumo Chuichi was announced to be dismissed while he was still leading the task force on his way back to the country.

    Several navy bosses present felt like they were in the mirror. Admiral Nagano Shuzo was the main driving force behind the way Nagumo Chuichi was dealt with. They also couldn't understand why Major General Nagano and Nagumo Chuichi were so unresponsive.  ?

    Facing the candidates for the three combined fleet commanders, Nagano Shuzo was also quite hesitant. He preferred Matsuda Jiro, the current chief of staff of the combined fleet, to succeed Yamamoto Isoroku. The reason was simple. It was easy to control, but Matsuda Jiro's qualifications  and prestige are obstacles that cannot be bypassed. Although he is the number one in the navy, he cannot help but care about the views and opinions of other big bosses. There are many small factions in the Imperial Navy, each with their own interests, and he cannot cover the sky with one hand.  Autocratic.

    As for Koga Hoichi, I have no impression of him. A general who has been the commander of a naval base for a long time has actually lost the qualification to command the combined fleet. What's more, Koga Hoichi's qualifications are not shallow. Once he becomes the commander of the combined fleet,  Commander, can he be able to communicate with himself like Yamamoto did before, and cooperate with him like an arm, so that the two people's ideas and concepts are highly consistent?

    Admiral Nagano, the person who least wants to be the commander of the combined fleet is Nagumo Chuichi. This old guy is stubborn, rigid-minded, stubborn, and has a bad temper.?It also stinks very much. Within the navy, apart from their sincere admiration for Yamamoto Isoroku, they are not very good at other big bosses, including myself!
