"Including the losses of the Red Army's Special Attack Team, the Combined Fleet lost a total of 471 combat aircraft in the Battle of the Coral Sea, and 742 flight warriors sacrificed their lives for the country! However, we sank at least three US battleships and USS Saratoga aircraft carriers, and also severely damaged four other US battleships and USS Essex aircraft carriers!"

The Black Island Turtle Man expressed his last results and losses of the Coral Sea Battle counted by the Joint Fleet. Of course, this statistical result is wrong, because the USS Saratoga aircraft carrier did not sink, but barely drove back to Sydney Port Jackson when it completely lost its combat capability and most of its power. However, this result is no different from the war sinking, because the Americans, who had too many aircraft carriers, did not intend to repair the USS Saratoga, but directly abandoned it. At the same time, a dozen...uh, twelve Essex-class aircraft carriers were sent to the South Pacific to support Spruins! And they also planned to send ground troops to Australia.

At the same time, a German and Italian joint fleet also sailed across the Indian Ocean to the west coast of Australia under the cover of an aircraft carrier sent by the Chinese Atlantic Fleet. Before that, more than 500 German Ju.88 and He-111 medium bombers flew directly from Singapore to Darwin, northern Australia. Another German Australian Legion was also organized at the first time. Three German armored grenadier divisions and three Italian infantry divisions had already taken twenty fast transport ships to follow Germany and the Italian joint fleet to participate in the anti-Japanese war... In short, there is no Japanese in Australia's war of resistance against Japan now, and it is completely the United States and Germany playing the leading role there.

As for the senior Japanese Red Army officers in the Kyushu headquarters, no one is concerned about Australia's affairs. Everyone took a breath after hearing the losses of the Joint Fleet in the "Corner Sea Victory". The 471 aircraft are definitely not a small number for the current Soviet Japan, but what makes the Japanese officers in this room feel even more distressed is the 742 pilots! This number is almost equivalent to all the pilots owned by the Japanese Red Army Air Force! In this era, the cost of producing an aircraft was not very high.

Even Japan, which has a low aviation industry, can easily produce nearly 2,000 aircraft a year. However, the selection and training of Japanese pilots lag behind aircraft production. The number of pilots that can be trained every year is less than 1,000, and the quality is generally not high. In fact, the skills and quality of Japanese Red Army pilots in this time and space are far inferior to those of the Japanese Imperial Army in history. If the Soviet Union had not sponsored a group of Soviet pilots with rich practical experience in the early years, the Japanese Red Navy might have made a fool of itself during the First Hawaiian Sea Battle.

There are two main reasons for the low quality of Japanese pilots. One is that the selection criteria for Japanese pilots are very high. Uh, pilots are elite troops. It is normal to have higher selection requirements. But Japan is now a Soviet country led by GCD. Although it is not very politically active at the top, the political review of pilots is still very strict.

For example, the one mentioned above, Yamaguchi Shuko was born in a bourgeois family and had overseas relations and could not even go to high school. She had to work as a logger in the Forestry Bureau. And so on. I don’t know how many ordinary Japanese young people with good character and academic performance (of course, it doesn’t matter if they were born in a military family, a military and military family, a military and political school, an Etashima Naval School, and other promising schools were excluded from the pilot school, a military and political cadre school, an Etashima Naval School, and other more promising schools.

Moreover, this political review is not to check the first generation of parents, but to check more than three generations, and to find out 1867 when Emperor Meiji came to power! At that time, Japan's "samurai identity" was not worth much. It can be said that it was the year when samurai was flooded. Take the Satsuma clan, one of the four strong vassals of the reversed vassals as an example. Among the more than 700,000 males registered in the vassals, more than 200,000 were samurai identities. It can be said that as long as the Japanese who were slightly better had a samurai title at that time, they had a samurai title at that time. This "samurai family background" alone can basically include about one-fifth of the current Japanese population (the proportion of samurai civilians in various vassals in Japan is very different. Generally speaking, the territory was territorial in the late Warring States Period or after the Battle of Guanyuan.

The proportion of samurai in each vassal that was greatly reduced was very high, because these vassals did not cut their samurai significantly after their territories were cut, especially those who did not deprive the identities of those who had no credit and worked hard). If we include several other reactionary classes and those Japanese who had overseas relations, we would almost have captured all the elites in the entire Japanese society. The remaining cadres who can apply for the pilot school are the children of the working people who are suffering and revenge. The former has a wide range of ways and most of them will not take the dangerous pilot school. The latter is mostly not very high in quality... So Soviet Japanese pilots lagged behind their opponents China and the United States in their initial stages.

In addition, in this time and space, Japanese pilots do not have the "spawning" of the Kuomintang pilots as "spawning" to allow them to accumulate experience bit by bit in actual combat. Instead, they meet the American "pilot power" (the United States had about 100,000 flight licenses before the war) and start a bloody battle. In addition to the Su-Made I-18 fighter that it had at the beginning, the performance of the Japanese fighter jets was not as good as the United States, and the gap was getting bigger and bigger. Under the combined effect of the two, the loss rate of Japanese pilots on the battlefield was naturally astonishingly high, and it was impossible to accumulate a group of ace pilots with rich practical experience.

In contrast, the Chinese Navy and Air Force pilots are much luckier. Because they have always had fighter jets that are more capable and have a number of advantages in quantity, the loss rate of Chinese front-line pilots is very low. After several years of war, a large number of ace pilots have accumulated. Moreover, the low loss rate of front-line pilots also gives the rear flight schools sufficient time to allow flight students to undergo more stringent and longer training, making the Chinese pilots who have just left the school gate better than their opponents. Therefore, the current Chinese Navy and Air Force not only have more advanced fighter jets, but also the quality of pilots is far better than their Japanese opponents. Even the Japanese officers in this combat conference room understand this point-it is simply unrealistic to rely on the air force of the joint fleet to seize the offshore air supremacy of Kyushu. Without air supremacy, three or four thousand Chinese aircraft can definitely sank all the warships of the joint fleet!

Therefore, the "Red Flag II Decisive Battle" proposed by the joint fleet was simply a plan to die. Although the current situation of the war was extremely pessimistic, and even defeat was inevitable. However, the chief officials of the Kyushu headquarters were still not very careful to destroy the joint fleet that had been built with countless hard-earned money from the Japanese people. Therefore, everyone is more inclined to "Red Flag II Decisive Battle". When Ishihara Kanr opposes both the "Red Flag II Decisive Battle" and the "Red Flag II Decisive Battle", he looked at him with a hint of expectation in his confusion.

"The Red Flag II is a decisive battle, and the Gale is a waiting for death." Ishihara Kanir bluntly defined the two combat plans proposed by the Joint Fleet. However, the Kuroshima Turtle did not refute, but nodded with a wry smile: "Actually, I think so too. Although the prospects for this war are not good, I think we should try our best to make a try, right? Ishihara, if you have any better suggestions, please come up with it. The Joint Fleet will definitely cooperate as much as possible."

"There are indeed some preliminary ideas," Ishihara Kanir thought, "I think before formulating the decisive battle plan for Kitakyushu, we should first figure out Japan's overall strategic goals... With the current situation of Japan and the world war, it is impossible to achieve the final victory. No matter how much victory we have achieved in the Battle of Kitakyushu! I think the best result that Japan can achieve now is to become a highly autonomous dominant under the Greater China Federation. Just like the relationship between Australia, Canada and the British Empire."

"Ishihara-kun..." Sadao Araki frowned and interrupted, "Is this what Chairman Takeda means?"

Ishihara Kanir nodded without comment and then said: "Although this conclusion is difficult to accept, it is the best result. Although the world war is still continuing, people with a little common sense should have seen that the current goal of China, the United States and Germany is not so much a victory over us and the Soviet Union to win the war, but rather a plan for the post-war world, because in their opinion, there is no suspense to win the war... In fact, the situation is the same. There is only one suspense now. It is what the power structure of the post-war world is like, and how the power ranking of the three countries of China, the United States and Germany is.

At present, the basic structure of China, the United States and Germany can be determined. Germany's core sphere of influence is Europe and Africa, the core territory of the United States is North and South America, and China's basic structure is Greater East Asia... Unfortunately, our Japanese archipelago is among them, so China can be said to be determined to win the Japanese archipelago!

But from the current situation, the contradictions and conflicts between China, the United States and Germany have begun to emerge. For example, the United States and Germany have launched open and secret struggles around Australia. The Germans deceived us to go south just to find excuses for them to enter Australia. The United States has also launched a tit-for-tat increase in troops to Australia, obviously trying to turn Australia into its own sphere of influence. The Chinese probably don’t want Australia, a territory at the doorstep of the Greater China Federation, to become a territory between the United States and Germany?

The struggle between China and Germany was staged in the Middle East and North Africa. The Chinese formed a close alliance with the Arab Empire and the Mslin world. They not only controlled most of the Arabian Peninsula, but also extended their tentacles into Egypt and Sudan in North Africa. Germany supported the establishment of the Greater Israeli State in Iraq and Kuwait. Although China and Germany did not directly fight in front of Taiwan, the Arabs and Jews they supported were already tense.

Such an international situation is indeed very beneficial to Japan, so we should use it as much as possible, adopt the tactic of seeking peace through war, and strive to be the autonomous dominant of the Greater China Federation..."

"Since the contradiction between China, the United States and Virginia has emerged, why should we Japan be willing to become the dominant of the Greater China Federation? Why not contact the United States to maintain a complete independence?" Sadao Araki said inexplicably.

"Keep completely independent..." Ishihara smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No such state! Even if the United States and Germany are willing to accept Japan's surrender, they will not allow Japan to maintain complete independence. They will still find ways to completely manipulate Japan's political economy in their hands. For such nominal independence, is it worth us to act as the pioneers of the United States and Germany's confrontation and containment of China?" He suddenly said in a deep tone: "And the United States and Germany have not shown their willingness to accept our Japan as their subordinates so far? I think now, neither the United States nor Germany are willing to completely break up with China for Japan..."

Yes. Japan has long wanted to change its ranks and be a younger brother to the United States and Germany, but the problem is that there is a big conflict between the United States and Germany, and there is no reason why the two bosses share the same younger brother. This means that no matter who "accepts" Japan, the United States and Germany will break the situation of checks and balances between China, the United States and Germany, and become an unfavorable situation of one-on-one victory. More importantly, will China give up the attack just because the United States or Germany provide security to Japan? This is obviously impossible, and the United States or Germany

Is Congress going to war with China to protect Japan? Of course, this is even more impossible. At least Germany could not do this before the demise of the Soviet Union. And the United States... First of all, they seemed to be unable to defeat China. Secondly, after more than two years of Pacific War, the Americans had long hated Japan. How could they fight against China to defend Japan? Ishihara Kanir, who once served as the commander of the Hawaiian Front, understands this idea of ​​the Americans, so in his opinion, Japan's only way out is to hide from China.

As soon as this truth was expressed, all the Japanese Red Army officials nodded in agreement. Ishihara Kaner said again: "Since the overall strategic goal has been determined, we must consider how to achieve this goal now. My opinion is that we must win a battle, and only by making the Chinese realize that they are not invincible. Japan is not a weak country that can easily annex Japan. They will give up their plan to completely annex Japan, so that we can negotiate with China."

It is necessary to win a battle! It sounds like it has returned to the starting point, but Ishihara Kanir's analysis still made the Japanese officers see hope in the room - although it is impossible to defeat China, a victory can still be won? Thinking about the benefits this victory can bring to them these days' revolutionary soldiers, these people can't help but want to do a big fight.

Seeing that everyone's morale was inspired by his own analysis of unknown accuracy, Ishihara smiled with satisfaction: "I have a way to win a victory now, so I'll tell you for your reference."

He took a baton from a staff officer and clicked the northern part of Kyushu on the map. He said, "The fence is tight enough, but it is extremely empty behind this fence. As long as the enemy circles more roads to the west or south of Kyushu, we will have no choice... If the airdrop troops occupy the port cities in the eastern Kyushu and use bombers to completely destroy Kitakyushu Port and Xiaguan Port, we may be able to surround the 800,000 main Red Army forces on Kyushu Island."

Hearing Ishihara's analysis, Anda Nori, who had previously formulated the decisive battle plan for Kitakyushu, was suddenly a little worried. "Ishihara, now the sea and air supremacy have been lost. The storm can land at any point in the Japanese archipelago. Where can I have a complete defense plan?"

"Of course there is no Wanquan, but we should at least determine where the decisive battle will be launched, otherwise the battle will not even have a single point of winning."

"But how to determine the location of the decisive battle?" Anda Twenty-three shrugged: "Then only the commander-in-chief of the violent invading army can be determined!"

"We can help him make sure." Ishihara Kanur looked at Anda No. 23, with a cold smile on his lips: "Removing the heavy troops from the ports of Kitakyushu except Kitakyushu, even the two divisions of Sasebo and Nagasaki were transferred, and the doors were opened to release the riots and troops to the shore!"

Well, since the door is open, the Chinese National Defense Forces will certainly not take a long way to climb over the wall and smash the edge door. But if the Chinese army is on the shore, is there still hope of winning the Battle of Kitakyushu?

"This requires perfect cooperation between sea and land and a little bit of adventurous spirit." Ishihara Kanur looked at the navy's immortal staff, Kuroshima: "Korean, has the Navy ambushed five new main ships in the Seto Inland Sea while driving the main force of the Navy in the Korean Strait?"

"Ambushes the five main battleships in the Seto Inland Sea? Ishihara, what do you mean is that after the main force of the Sunchi Navy leaves the waters near Kyushu, let these five main battleships break out of the Guanmen Strait and use naval guns to destroy Ichisaki Island and the airport on Tsushima Island?"

"There are also the storm transport ships in ports such as Busan, Lishui, Mopo, etc., which temporarily cut off the logistics line of the landing storm."

Kuroshima Turtle was silent, his eyebrows tightened, and he felt everyone in the room staring at him with a deep look, looking forward to a positive reply. Ishihara Kanji's plan was of course not feasible. The naval fleet could not hide in the Seto Inland Sea, and the Chinese reconnaissance plane's lookout hand was not blind. But Ishihara's idea was completely correct. The second naval fleet could hide in the Pacific deep sea southeast of the Japanese archipelago. After the main force of the Chinese navy was led away by the main force of the joint fleet, he could carry out a decisive assault with the cooperation of most of the remaining air forces in Japan!
