The anti-China voices in Germany are unprecedentedly loud. In the past, this would have made Toshiichiro Koizumi so excited that he could not sleep. However, now, after suddenly realizing the huge gap between Germany and China, Koizumi cannot be happy anymore.
Among all countries, the Japanese mentality is definitely the most complex.
A country that once could be wiped out at a glance has now developed into such a huge military monster. It is not only able to send troops to the Soviet Union, but it also has the spare power to start a war against Germany in North Africa. This is something the Japanese never want to see, but they have to. Face to face, and just think that Japan will face the revenge of such a huge military monster, and then look at the Chinese warships that are showing off in Yakushima and Tanegashima off the coast all day long, and there are also those Chinese warships that cannot be defended no matter how hard they are, almost Promotional brochures and slogans are spread all over Japan. Even if you can verbally make wild claims, saying that the land is blessed by the divine wind and the Chinese army will definitely not be able to attack it, deep down in your heart, everyone is trembling. They have to look at the sky before going out. Afraid that a black object will appear at the end of the field of vision,
When the Ryukyu Islands were first captured by the Xuebing Army, the Japanese army did not think of driving the Xuebing Army into the sea while they were on unstable footing. However, after losing control of the sea and air, the Japanese troop transports could not even sail out of the offshore waters. This so-called Naturally, there is no way to talk about a battle of recapture.
Of course, the Japanese military would never admit it, so every day the Japanese people still hear news about where the imperial army is preparing to attack and what kind of victory they have achieved. It seems that they can regain "Okinawa" tomorrow and perish the day after tomorrow. Like China,
"The Imperial Army of Japan is invincible." "Long live His Majesty the Emperor." "The Imperial Army is victorious."... Orderly slogans sounded outside the window again. Yamamoto Isoroku raised his eyebrows at first, and then read the documents in front of him. Pushed, slapped him down hard, and shouted: "Can you defeat China by shouting slogans? If you have this skill, why don't you go to work in the fields or work in the factory?"
Several junior officers were sitting on the sofa chair opposite Yamamoto. They were all sitting upright and seemed to be listening to instructions. But now they invariably raised their heads and looked at him secretly, then exchanged glances with each other, and then lowered their heads again. ,
"Your Majesty Yamamoto has a few more gray hairs on his temples. He must have been hit by China's dispatch of troops to North Africa." Major Inaya Tomimura thought this way, feeling a sense of weakness in his heart. As the head of the Naval Ministry Staff Headquarters, Staff officer Tomimura Inuya was always able to learn the latest information about China as soon as possible. Therefore, he was very depressed during this period and would always have inexplicable heart palpitations.
In Japan, especially Tokyo, the changes that have happened to Tomimura Praya are by no means an isolated phenomenon. Chinese fighter planes can fly freely over the Japanese mainland to distribute leaflets. This in itself shows that Japan is very weak now. As long as it is a normal person, even if He has no military knowledge at all, so he should know what this means. Besides, why does the government organize military training for civilians and even start to form support teams in townships and streets? This shows that the Chinese may attack at any time. This shows that the top military and political leaders have already Everyone here is assuming the worst,
"The empire launched this war so that everyone can live a prosperous life, but is this really the case? Why didn't they think about the consequences of failure when they decided to invade China?" Tomimura thought of what he said in a book last night. After seeing these words in the pamphlet, when I looked up at Yamamoto Isoroku, my sympathy became stronger.
Yamamoto was the idol of the Japanese navy people, so Tomimura knew that Yamamoto held conservative views at the beginning of the war of aggression against China, and also knew that he had to preside over the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in the United States just to help the belligerent army wipe their ass. "Facts have proved
Mr. Yamamoto has done a pretty good job. Didn’t the Americans get pushed back from the Pacific by us? But it’s a pity that the army was so useless that they actually gave the Chinese a chance to make a comeback.”
Yamamoto doesn't know and doesn't care what his subordinates are thinking, because he is currently thinking about offshore defense and homeland defense.
It is true that in terms of character, Yamamoto is very gambling, so he can often make desperate moves and always succeed. Of course, this is relative. For example, he lost the bet on the Hainan Island Raiders.
And this ruined the good situation at that time, "Perhaps the sneak attack should have been Guangzhou instead of Pearl Harbor. If Guangzhou had been chosen at that time..." Once, while lying in bed, Yamamoto thought this more than once, after Koizumi Minichiro's blatant betrayal.
After that, the more he thought like this, it even made him regretful that his intestines were blue. When he was looking at a map of China alone, Yamamoto once did a map assignment and marked the Xuebing based on what he knew.
After the career path of Xuebing Army was clearly presented to him, Yamamoto felt even more regretful.
To this day, Yamamoto of course wants to blame the Xuebing Army as the main culprit that has caused Japan to fall into such a predicament. However, he also knows that talking about containing the Xuebing Army now is already nonsense, and he can only think about it in his dreams.
Orderly slogans rang out again outside, and Yamamoto's face became colder as he shouted: "This bastard, the superior soldier, does he really think that all the people can stop the Chinese people? Or does he want the Yamato nation to perish?"
Yamamoto even said such rebellious words, Tomimura and others' heads hung lower and lower.
Yes, the so-called formation of support teams based on townships and subdistricts was exactly the idea of Tojo Hideki, a "high-ranking soldier". After losing the opportunity to join the center, Tojo Hideki was unwilling to be lonely, but because he was unable to work in the Army Ministry
He still had the influence he had before, so he could only find another way to engage in militia training projects, and then he came up with these tricks.
"Your Excellency, the Chinese can only mobilize troops from Southeast Asia when sending troops to North Africa. In this way, can we launch a counterattack in Southeast Asia?" A colonel named Hatano Ichiro suddenly became bold and looked at Yamamoto and asked,
"Stupid question." Tomimura immediately gave this comment in his mind, then looked up at Yamamoto,
As he expected, Yamamoto's face turned darker.
"Counterattack, the Malay Peninsula or Sumatra. Don't forget, the skies in Southeast Asia belong to the Chinese. Without air supremacy, there is no use in having more ground troops. It's stupid."
"Hai." Captain Hatano quickly stood up and bowed to apologize.
"We can't stay in Tokyo anymore, let's go to Kagoshima." Yamamoto asked, then grabbed his military cap and walked out.
Tomimura and others quickly followed, and when passing by the communication room, he did not forget to inform the communication staff inside: "Yuki-kun, please call the Kagoshima Garrison Headquarters. Mr. Yamamoto will visit there."
