    Himmler, the leader of the German Gestapo, was interrupted by Hitler before he finished speaking. He shouted angrily: "Himler, stop talking, I will not send a telegram to Tang Qiuli.  No! It¡¯s not necessary!¡±

    "Mussolini, a stubborn and short-sighted fool, did not listen to my advice and insisted on going his own way. For the illusory benefits promised by the Japanese, he was deceived by the Japanese. He successfully angered Tang Qiuli, and the Italians were trapped in Asia.  The deeper you go, the worse you will lose. Well, let the Italians taste the bitter pill and Mussolini¡¯s mind will clear up!¡±

    "My head of state, Germany must have an attitude!" Foreign Minister Ribbentrop said weakly.

    "What attitude?" Hitler became increasingly angry and roared: "Keeping silent on this matter is Germany's attitude. Now, that damn cripple Roosevelt in the United States must be popping champagne to celebrate!"

    In the Prime Minister's Residence in Rome, the capital of Italy, Prime Minister Mussolini also roared angrily at the party, government and military officials, "The ignorant and backward Chinese Tang Qiuli dared to declare war on the Kingdom of Italy. This is an extreme insult to us.  Big insult, never tolerate it!¡±

    "Declare war. The Kingdom of Italy also declares war on the Chinese! Ciano, your Ministry of Foreign Affairs will deal with this immediately! Also, in the name of the Prime Minister, I order the army to organize a second batch of troops, no less than 200,000 people.  Head to Asia as quickly as possible, and I will let the Chinese who fight with rifles know what a military and industrial power is!"

    The Italian party, government and military officials looked at the Prime Minister who was as angry as a lion, and they knew it in their hearts.  In this case, the Prime Minister will not listen to anyone.  Moreover, Tang Qiuli's declaration of war.  This greatly stimulated the self-esteem of these officials. They felt that this was an insult to the Kingdom of Italy. When did China in the Middle Ages bully Italy?

    The poor and backward Chinese people dare to declare war on the Kingdom of Italy. It is absolutely necessary to teach the Chinese people a lesson, and.  There are still so many benefits to be gained in Asia and the Pacific. Therefore, Mussolini¡¯s decision to once again increase the number of troops in Japan was passed unanimously without anyone objecting. Immediately, the whole of Italy was like a dog with fried hair.  , to deal with the provocation of the Chinese with all its teeth and claws.  The domestic war machine was at full capacity, and another group of army soldiers began to gather.

    At this time, Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin had arrived in Vladivostok in the Far East of the former Soviet Union. The purpose of their two land expeditions.  It was to plan to build several field airports to form an arc-shaped air offensive line around northern Japan. After receiving a call from the division command staff office.  I don¡¯t know what important things happened, and the division¡¯s staff didn¡¯t explain it clearly.

    But the teacher was anxious to call him back.  There must be an important task to hand over, so the two of them put down what they were doing.  After handing over the task of surveying the location of the field airport to Dong Ningxuan, chief of staff of the Northern Flying Group, he flew a two-seater reconnaissance plane back to Busan. The plane landed at the Busan field airport, and there was already a car from the staff office.  Waiting for them, the two of them reached the master's finger without stopping.

    Tang Qiuli was immersed in a large pile of documents and was busy reviewing them. Several main regiments of the Independent Division were transferred northward one after another. More than one million people and horses were relocated, which involved transportation means and routes, troop assembly areas and logistical support.  Wait, there are so many things that need to be done, and Xiao is the chief of staff Zhao Yuhe who has shared most of them, so he has no time to relax.

    Tang Qiuli was very happy to see Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin coming hand in hand. After saying hello and sitting down, he stopped talking nonsense and said straight to the point: "We have received information that the Japanese are recruiting pilots in Europe. Now they have recruited one  More than a thousand people, this group of pilots with rich air combat experience, will join the Japanese army and help the Japanese in their local air defense operations, and will become the two of you's fierce enemies!"

    Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin looked at each other, and they were both shocked. There was shock in their eyes. The two of them were not just looking at the sky from a well. They had a good understanding of the aviation level of European countries in the past, and they also knew the weight of the commander's words.  Knowing the purpose of the teacher's eagerness to recall him.

    "Master, if you have any orders, please give them!" The two men stood up and said in unison.

    "Okay! I'll keep the story short!" Tang Qiuli waved his hand, asked the two of them to sit down, and then said: "In the overall campaign plan to attack the Japanese mainland, the division commander made some partial adjustments to the air combat part. At the beginning of the landing operation  Before, it was necessary to weaken the Japanese air defense forces as much as possible!¡±

    "Based on this, I have decided that the air battle will begin before the sea-crossing landing battle. I have approved Deputy Commander Tang's request to transfer the fleet's land-based mixed combat brigade to the Ogasawara Islands and use it as a base to use the brigade as the main force to attack Japan.  The main purpose of conducting air strikes in the south is to weaken the Japanese air power! "

    ?"You also know that the Southern Fleet is currently dividing its forces to recover the Hawaiian Islands and the Ryukyu Islands, and it also needs to intercept the Italian army's troop transport fleet. It has insufficient troops, let alone aircraft carriers. Therefore, it can only rely on the fleet's land-based mixed combat brigade to complete it.  I want to tune a piano and go to the Ogasawara Islands to serve as an air combat commander!"

    "You decide how to fight specifically, Yiqin. The instructor will not interfere. Cuigang, your mission is to focus on the Northern Flying Group. Take advantage of the opportunity before the pilots recruited by the Japanese from Europe have arrived, and attack Japan.  Launch a large-scale air raid on the mainland to force the current Japanese aviation force to fight, and first destroy some of it. Similarly, the division commander will not interfere with Cuigang's command of the operation! "

    "I heard that you two are busy arranging the air route to attack the Japanese mainland from the north. This is good, keep doing it! But the variables just now must be taken into account. In addition, the main force of the Southern Flying Group must be eliminated.  Most of them will be transferred to the north and put under the command of Cuigang to use their relatively superior air force to deal with the European pilots recruited by the Japanese! "

    "Yiqin, don't go back to Vladivostok. Leave immediately for the Ogasawara Islands and organize an air attack as soon as possible. Do you have any other ideas or requests? Just say, if it can be solved, I will solve it immediately!"

    Liu Cuigang stood up and stood at attention, and said loudly: "No problem, sir! I promise to complete the mission!"

    However, Le Yiqin hesitated, and after a while he said nervously: "Commander, this is not a condition for me! You see, the air attack launched from the southern Pacific direction on the Japanese mainland has an excellent geographical location, but it is only a land-based hybrid  The combat brigade is a little thin. Can you give me more troops? Just two of the latest fighter regiments. I guarantee that the little devil will not sleep well!"

    "Only you, Le Yiqin, can negotiate terms!" Tang Qiuli said angrily: "Of the field airports in the Ogasawara Islands, the one on Chichijima has been completed, and the ones on Ogasawara and Hahajima are also nearing completion. There is no other field airport except for Chichijima.  With the support of two field airports, even if I give you Le Yiqin fighter jets, there will be no place to land. "

    "Now, I can promise you that all the three new fighter regiments that were originally planned to be equipped to the Northern Flying Group will be transferred to you Le Yiqin. This time, you are satisfied! However, you have to discuss it with Cuigang, but he won't agree.  I can¡¯t help it, after all, it was taken from someone else!¡±

    "Thank you, sir!" Le Yiqin was so happy that he jumped up and said loudly: "please don't worry, sir, with these new fighter jets, I can not only keep the little devil awake, but maybe I can also keep that bastard Hirohito awake"  Get rid of the eggs!"

    Then, Le Yiqin turned around and said to Liu Cuigang very seriously: "Cui Gang, you can't be so stingy, right? I gave you most of my family fortune, is that considered an exchange?"

    Liu Cuigang rolled his eyelids and said helplessly: "Do you think I am a stingy person? Even the teacher agreed, I dare not give it!"

    After leaving the teacher's office and arriving in the corridor, Le Yiqin put her arm around Liu Cuigang's shoulders, extended her thumb and said, "As expected of an old brother, it's so fun!" Then, with a slightly sad tone, she said, "I wanted to join hands with you.  Let¡¯s have a good fight with the little devil, and now we have to separate again!¡±

    Liu Cuigang didn't speak, but used one arm to hug Le Yiqin tightly. Then, the two of them broke up at the door of the teacher's office and went to their respective combat positions.

    Two days later in the morning, in the waters north of Midway Island in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, the sea was covered with clouds and the waves were rolling. A medium-sized formation of troop carriers, escorted by twelve warships, rode the wind and waves toward the Japanese mainland. All troop carriers  The Italian flag flew high on the masts of the escort warships, indicating the identity of this mixed fleet - Italy's army troop transport fleet and escort fleet to reinforce Japan.

    This is the vanguard of Italy's 100,000-strong force to reinforce Japan. It has two divisions of troops and equipment. Mussolini sent the second batch of 100,000-strong troops to Japan. After they landed in Central America, due to transportation,  The warships were nervous, and the escort warships were even more nervous. The first batch could only carry two mechanized infantry divisions, with about 40,000 troops, and set off early to rush to Japan. This fleet was already on the rough seas of the Eastern Pacific.  It was a bumpy ride for several days, but fortunately, there were no accidents along the way!

    Originally, the number of troop transport ships passing through the Atlantic route was enough to transport 100,000 troops to Japan in two batches. Unfortunately, there was no Panama Canal at that time, and the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans were separated by a narrow Central American continent. If  If you want to go directly to Japan, you have to detour through the Drake Strait at the southernmost tip of South America, which is a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers. Therefore, disembarking in Central America and then taking a boat to Japan is the only option for the Italian army.

    Vice Admiral Bappezi, commander of the escort fleet, stood in the command cabin of the flagship, holding up theHe used the telescope to observe the undulating sea surface. After a few minutes, he put down the telescope rather boredly and counted the days in his mind. In about four days, the troop transport ship formation would be able to land on the Japanese mainland, and his mission was considered to be over.
