Koizumi's tone was shocking, but in Yamamoto's view, he was simply a lunatic. In the eyes of many colleagues, Yamamoto was also a lunatic, a gambling lunatic. In his private life, Yamamoto was addicted to gambling, and his gambling skills were extremely high. Yamamoto He once said: If His Majesty the Emperor can give me a year off, I can win back an aircraft carrier for the empire. Yamamoto himself is already crazy, but in front of Koizumi, he has to admit that the other party is far more crazy. Far more than myself,
As an adviser to the Navy Ministry (Yamamoto helped him find this position), Koizumi not only dictates naval affairs, but also frequently submits opinions to the Army Ministry. This has aroused the resentment of many big bosses in the Navy Ministry and the Army Ministry. Not everyone among the big bosses in the Japanese military is as easy to talk to and values talents as Yamamoto. Quite a few of them are stubborn and stubborn and cannot listen to other people's opinions. Therefore, Koizumi actually lived a good life during this period. Not as expected,
"As long as we have about six more aircraft carriers, we will be able to completely dominate the South Pacific. By then, Southeast Asia will become the front yard of the empire. Your Excellency, the matter of the Yamato cannot be delayed any longer. Please be sure to convince His Majesty the Emperor." Transforming the Yamato battleship into an aircraft carrier is what Koizumi is currently working on with all his strength. However, the reality has hit him hard. No matter how fancy he talks about the aircraft carrier, the big guys at the Navy Ministry just don't agree with the transformation plan. , Fortunately, there are Sanbon Fifty-six and Inoue Narumi's support, otherwise, he should have other ideas at this moment,
Yamamoto Isoroku was originally an aviation victory theorist, but now after listening to Koizumi's various theories on aircraft carrier victory, he has completely accepted this point of view in his heart. He nodded and said: "I will try my best to find a solution for the Yamato matter. , Now, please pay more attention to the empire's aircraft manufacturing. After the Xuebing Army sent troops to Taiwan, our navy sent troops to clean up, but because the Xuebing Army's fighter planes are more advanced than ours, so far, our naval superiority has not been able to If we really want to launch a war in the Pacific, Taiwan will become a key springboard connecting the empire's homeland and Southeast Asia. Yes, aircraft carriers are indeed important, but if there are no fighters that can match them, the theory of aircraft carrier victory will be just talk."
Koizumi nodded after listening and said: "Sir, you have said a lot. Aircraft carriers are just carriers, and the final winner is fighter planes. Don't worry. In another week at most, I will give you two pieces that will definitely be as good as those of the Xuebing Army." Fighter design drawings of a new type of fighter jet. By the way, Your Excellency, I don’t know about the strategy of ‘using China to control China’ that I submitted to the Army Ministry last time.”
Before he could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by Yamamoto, who said: "Koizumi-kun, it's been a week since you arrived at the Navy Ministry. Haven't you figured out the situation yet? Our Navy Ministry and Army Ministry are both independent departments. , each other never inquires about matters within the scope of each other's management. I know that the suggestions you put forward must be good, but in order to avoid misunderstandings, please submit less of these reports in the future, or you can first Leave it to me, and then I will find a suitable opportunity to submit it to the Prime Minister and His Majesty the Emperor."
Koizumi was silent. From his point of view, he hoped that everything in the empire would follow the trajectory he had set, because this has been verified by history and can guarantee accuracy. However, as Yamamoto said In this way, although he has been here for more than a week, he does not know the specific situation of the empire, and he often even does some thankless things. Regarding the army, he has submitted no less than ten reports, but except for a new type of Except for the design plan of the tank being adopted, everything else was put aside, which dealt a serious blow to his self-esteem.
Seeing that he suddenly stopped talking, Yamamoto was worried that the young man would not be able to bear the injustice. He went over and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't be anxious, take your time. When your proposals and assertions are confirmed one by one, there will be more If people believe in you like I do, then even if what you say is wrong, they will believe it, well, how about we make a bet."
Koizumi smiled bitterly: "Your Excellency, it seems that I have acted too hastily. However, from a time perspective, time cannot wait for us. Your Excellency, I told you that if nothing happens, the empire will unconditionally surrender in 1945. By that time , everything is too late."
Yamamoto looked at the resource areas pointed out by Koizumi one after another on the map, and suddenly gritted his teeth as if he had made a lot of determination: "If what you said is true, and we really can't delay it, I will take care of the Yamato matter." It will be settled in the near future, but you have to guarantee me that the resource areas you provided are all detailed. I am worried that once the government invests huge financial resources in exploration, it turns out that it is nothing at all."
Before Yamamoto finished speaking, Koizumi shouted: "Your Excellency, I dare not say anything else. I can guarantee that these resource areas do exist, and the quality of the minerals they produce is not bad. Your Excellency, please report it to the government as soon as possible. Well, if these resources can be utilized earlier, the empire's military industry can become stronger earlier, which will be helpful for us to win the China War, the future Pacific War, and even the larger Far East War."
Koizumi became excited as he spoke. He actually even mentioned the "Far East War". Koizumi Minichiro's ambitions were much greater than Ouyang Yun. He not only wanted to destroy China, but also wanted to defeat the United States and Russia. , I really don’t know where his confidence comes from,
Yamamoto didn't seem to realize his slip of the tongue. He remembered something and said: "The Hong Kong agents had information sent back to China. An American business delegation went to Guangzhou. This business delegation was controlled by the American secret organization Skull and Bones." Yes, it seems that our previous inference was correct. The transformation of the 'Saint George' into an aircraft carrier was done by the Skull and Bones Society with the help of the Skull and Bones Army. The Skull and Bones Society has too much power in American politics. If this is true, we can only watch. I watched 'Saint George' being taken away by the student army."
"How about sending agents to blow it up?" Xiaoquan said, with a fierce light in his eyes.
Yamamoto was taken aback. He looked at Koizumi, thought for a while and said, "The risk is too great. Once the Americans find out, the consequences will be disastrous."
"I have a way to make the Chinese fight among themselves without our people taking action. Your Excellency, you should have heard of China's military reunification organization."
Upon hearing this, Yamamoto immediately understood what he was thinking. He couldn't help but look at her high and said, "Xiaoizumi, you actually know about it even the military commander."
"Of course, I also know that their current person in charge is named Dai Li." Xiaoquan smiled proudly and continued: "The military commander is someone's dog of Jiang. If the Xuebing Army wants to build an aircraft carrier, will Chiang Kai-shek agree? Absolutely not Yes, if he knows about this, huh, even if we don't provoke him, the military commander will take action."
Yamamoto nodded repeatedly and said, "This is indeed a good idea and worth a try."
"Your Excellency, please allocate some manpower to me."
"Okay, Mr. Koizumi, if you succeed in this matter, I will give you a great credit. Alas, it's just a pity that you lost an aircraft carrier."
