Chapter 896: Local Decisive Battle Plan (Part 1)
Do you still need to look for Hideki Tojo? Emperor Hirohito threw the thick report on the table and shouted: "Don't deceive anymore, are you cheating me or the whole people?
?We should now fight to the United States, and the Kwantung Army is preparing to launch a counterattack against North China. In fact, where is our troops? They are fighting fiercely in Hutou Fortress and Dongning Fortress, and the main force of the Chinese Youth Army is heading for
The Far East is carrying out an offensive, and the Kwantung Army, which lacks supplies, needs to implement a strategic breakthrough?"
Emperor Hirohito was not paying attention to Tojo Hideki, turned to Yamamoto Izuru, and said, "I did not summon Hikaru, but summoned you, the commander of the United Fleet. You should understand what I mean, I must know exactly what we are.
What happened to the navy? Why can American bombers bomb our cities unscrupulously along the coast of China? Now the losses caused by large-scale bombing have destroyed nearly half of our industrial infrastructure. If so, the Great Japanese Empire will be in this way.
Defeated without a fight in a large-scale bombardment. | March 8 Literature”
Emperor Hirohito slowed down and continued: "Now my Joint Fleet Commander, you can tell me the true truth about the Imperial Navy. I want to know if Ishihara Kanji said that? How can the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Army stop the United States
People use airports along the coast of China to continue to carry out large-scale extinction bombing of our cities. Nearly 400,000 people were killed in Kumamoto and Sendai. The American bombing was not all our industrial and military targets, and for civilians gathering places.
The same large-scale extinction bombing was carried out. The Americans wanted to drive us to the dead end. Now even Roppongi was bombed. Can I know why this is?"
Yamamoto Iroku looked at the dejected Hideki Tojo helplessly, and hesitated for a moment: "Your Majesty, Kumamoto is the source of the 6th Division, and Sendai is the source of the 2nd Division. These two divisions are
During the battlefield between Manchuria and Mongolia and China, the targets of which are often targeting Chinese civilians, while Roppongi is the seat of the Nanjing government in exile in China and the Manchukuo government in exile. It seems reasonable to be bombed.
, Americans are very rational and regulated in their work. Their home is highly democratic and autonomous, and each state has an independent judicial system. The federal government has justice and the constitution is unified and coordinated. However, the Chinese are different, and there is an endless relationship with us.
So we can surrender to the Americans, but we must not surrender to the Chinese and Soviets."
Emperor Hirohito stared at Yamamoto Izuru: "My commander of the United Fleet, I don't need your advice. The Japanese Empire has never and cannot surrender. We must carry out the holy war to the end, even if we fall into hell, we must do the same.
Our enemies together.” Anti-Japanese blood sacrifice to the mountains and rivers 896
Emperor Hirohito's roar lifted Hideki Tojo and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the Great East Asia holy war, all the citizens and people of the Great Japanese Empire should fight for His Majesty to the end. One hundred million jades are broken, and the Great Japanese Empire is invincible."
Yamamoto Iroku said helplessly: "Your Majesty! The Imperial Navy Combined Fleet did achieve a major victory in the Pacific, but we also paid a heavy price. The overall losses of the US Pacific Fleet exceeded about 30% of our army, but
The United States' shipbuilding capacity and carrier-based aircraft production capacity are nine times that of ours. Americans can easily regain strategic initiative. Our shipbuilding capacity is too different from that of the United States. Our experienced carrier-based aircraft
Once the pilot loses, it is difficult to replenish it in a short period of time. The new pilots in the first two and a half months of Kagoshima Naval Aviation School have only about 270 pilots in each period, while the dozen or so flight schools that have lasted for two and a half years and several Americans.
Nearly 10,000 pilots served in each phase of the ten flight bases. Even the Sino-US Joint Air Force has hundreds of people graduated from each phase of the aviation school in Kunming. Whether in terms of personnel or equipment, the Joint Fleet can no longer effectively prevent Americans from being in the Pacific.
The attack was made.”
Iroru Yamamoto's words shocked Emperor Hirohito and Hideki Tojo to be stunned and speechless. The reality is far further than expected. The great loss of combat power of the Imperial Navy will directly threaten the security of the empire's local area.
Both Emperor Hirohito and Hideki Tojo are very clear about this. The Japanese are island countries with insufficient resources. As for now, their food needs to be imported from Manchuria and Mongolia and Southeast Asia. If the Strait of Malacca is cut off, there will be a domestic Japanese country.
At least one-third of people will die of famine.
Emperor Hirohito slowly stood up from his seat. The empire's current embarrassment had exceeded his imagination. The great Japanese Empire was almost at the point where the lights were exhausted. How easy was it to turn the situation around? Especially the losses of the imperial navy also exceeded those of it.
Emperor Hirohito's expectations.
After pondering for a long time, Emperor Hirohito said in a deep voice: "If we now carry out strategic contraction? Recover the troops in the Pacific Ocean to the front line of Guam? The First Front Army at the Yamashita of the Bay of Bengal in India will be taken back to the Philippines and ordered the Kwantung Army to go to North Korea.
To implement the general retreat, we must realize that even if we do not issue orders, the Kanto Army has begun to implement the plan of retreating from the Far East. Ishihara Kanr has a local decisive battle plan, which will turn the local four islands into fortresses and battlefields.
Let the enemy be daunted in the face of huge casualties, so that we will at least have the capital and time to negotiate. As long as the Germans defeat the Soviet Union, the Americans will have their own achievements in the Asian strategy and the Germans' European strategy, in fact, whether it is the Allies or the Axis.
The Heart Kingdom Group is all on the same strategic platform. When the power is close to the balance point, it may be able to return to peace, so that the Great Japanese Empire will avoid the worst possibility."
Regarding Emperor Hirohito's wishful thinking, Hideki Tojo looked at the expressionless Yamamoto Iroji, and after a long time, he said: "Your Majesty, I agree to the local decisive battle plan. All we need now is time. Americans do not implement it first.
The policy of Europe and Asia, and the implementation of the strategic policy of Asia and Europe first, is completely beyond our expectations. The empire is completely passive in strategic direction. The Chinese army's counterattack on the Chinese battlefield allowed us to concentrate our forces to cooperate with Germany in solving the Soviet Union.
The problematic Empire Kwantung Army caught off guard. We have too many battlefields involved too many strategic forces. Now it is time for us to concentrate these forces back, concentrate all our forces on defending North Korea and the local government, and stick to Saipan in the Pacific Ocean.
