Facing the crowd's call for battle, Xiaoquan took a deep breath, and after thinking for a long time, he shook his head. "Not enough, not enough," he murmured, something flashing in his eyes.
An Mianzhi became anxious and shouted: "Your Excellency——"
Koizumi waved his hand to stop him from continuing, saying: "Gentlemen, I deeply admire your loyalty to the empire and your willingness to sacrifice for His Majesty the Emperor's great cause of co-prosperity in Greater East Asia. However, war is not a child's play, it is not just a matter of life.
Loyalty and the spirit of sacrifice are enough. Gentlemen, haven't you noticed? Although I am busy day and night in Southeast Asia to improve the military technology of the Imperial Army, the gap in military technology between us and the Xuebing Army is not only not
The distance is getting closer, but the gap is getting wider. Everyone, please remember that in the development direction of modern military, scientific and technological power will be the mainstream. Indeed, the empire needs a big victory to boost the morale of the people, but have you ever thought about what happens if we are defeated again?
Where is it?"
"Sir, I disagree with your words. I admit that the Chinese are indeed superior to us in some military technologies, but wars are ultimately fought by people. In terms of the quality of soldiers and their fighting spirit, our imperial army has
One is worth as much as three Chinese people," said a major general named Kusaka Ryuunosuke.
Ryuunosuke Kusanagi was also the captain of a main aircraft carrier. He continued: "Sir, have you considered this? The army is gathering troops in Manchuria. If they really send troops to the Far East and cooperate with the German army to defeat Soviet Russia, our navy
But he suffered consecutive defeats in Southeast Asia. So, with Tojo Hideki's character, is he still willing to succumb to the Japanese cabinet and Yamamoto? If the army and the people are really in charge of the cabinet and the military, then the modernization process of our navy will be inevitable
will be affected. Your Excellency, I admit that the military and technological strength of the Chinese people is superior to our army, but we still have this military advantage. If we delay it any longer, given the development speed of the Chinese people, we will become more and more passive.
Which sir!"
Kusaka's words immediately won the approval of others. Immediately, Koizumi's ears were filled with calls for battle, and the generals of the Takeku aircraft carrier fleet were excited and demanded a decisive battle with the Pacific Fleet.
The public opinion cannot be violated. Moreover, in terms of qualifications, Koizumi is not as good as Kusaka, Kishizumi and others. He was frowning and feeling a headache. A major came in holding a telegram. He shouted a report and said loudly: "
Your Excellency, Commander Tsukahara is calling!”
"read!"
The main force of Tsukahara 243's Wuwei aircraft carrier fleet had arrived in Guam at this time. He received Wang Mingcheng's report almost at the same time, and his reaction was surprisingly consistent with that of Koizumi Minichiro. He believed that the current situation was not the best time for a decisive battle with the Pacific Fleet.
It was a good time. However, after all, Guadalcanal was assisted by the Wuwei aircraft carrier fleet, so he decided to order the nearby Fuyuan aircraft carrier fleet to go to Guadalcanal for support.
Tsukahara's telegram came in time. After hearing it, Koizumi immediately felt relieved. He said to everyone: "Gentlemen, you have also heard that Commander Tsukahara does not agree to a decisive battle with the Pacific Fleet now." Then.
He said to the Major: "Reply to Commander Tsukahara and tell him that I will let the National Liberation Army reinforce Guadalcanal, and ask him to let the Fuyuan aircraft carrier fleet cooperate with the National Liberation Army's landing operation. Guadalcanal must not be lost."
"Hai!"
The major withdrew. Xiaoquan glanced at everyone and found that their faces were all bad. He laughed deliberately and said: "Gentlemen, Guadalcanal is indeed important, but don't forget what arrangements we have made on the isolated island. Now Guadalcanal is
The island may not be described as impregnable, but the Chinese and Americans wanted to capture it. Hehe, there was no way to even think about it without thirty or forty thousand casualties. Moreover, the Chinese and Americans actually chose Coco Fortress as their landing point.
Everyone at Coco Fortress knows that it is truly impregnable. So, gentlemen, rest assured. I think that after the bloody encounter between the Chinese and the Americans at Coco Fortress, Guadalcanal was actually not lost.
I’m worried.”
On Guadalcanal, Wainwright IV was still dissatisfied with Bai Liusu's downplaying attitude. The Japanese bomber had already flown over the aircraft carrier Wuyuantianwang and began to dive. "Won't the Japanese pilots hear my thoughts?"
He was startled, and at this moment, he saw a burst of fire suddenly rising from the Wu Daotian Wang. Wainwright IV blinked his eyes twice and was thinking about whether he could stop this enemy plane with anti-aircraft weapons alone.
?A fire suddenly burst out around the Japanese plane. The fire instantly engulfed the Japanese plane. When the fire turned into smoke and was blown away, Wainwright IV could only see
There were more than a dozen fireballs scattered in all directions, but there was no trace of the Japanese plane anywhere.
"What kind of anti-aircraft weapon is this?!" Wainwright asked in surprise, looking at Ryan.
Li An shrugged: "Chinese people have too many secrets, and I have long been used to them."
Koizumi thought that Guadalcanal was impregnable, but little did he know that Guadalcanal’s defense system was full of flaws. So, three hours later, when Koizumi had persuaded his generals to go to Singapore’s No. 1 Arsenal, an urgent telegram
He had to stop his next trip and immediately rushed back to the headquarters.
"Coco Fortress fell, and the forward airport was captured by the French army!" Looking at these words, Koizumi felt a sharp pain in his head and almost fainted.
"Coco Fortress is lost!" he shouted to the staff officer who summoned him.
The staff officer lowered his head and did not dare to answer.
Coco Fortress is the strongest fortification in the Guadalcanal defense system. If Coco Fortress is lost, the forward airfield not far from Coco Fortress will be undefendable. And if the forward airfield is lost, it means that the Allies can
The continuous flow of troops and military supplies through this airport means that even if he organizes a heavy counterattack, he may not be able to drive the Allies into the sea. None of this is important. What is terrible is that if Guadalcanal falls, then
This means that Australia's nearly 500,000-strong army has no way to retreat. And when the Combined Fleet avoids learning from the Pacific Fleet and gives up sea and air supremacy in the Coral Sea, once this 500,000-strong army consumes the accumulated supplies, then
——Thinking of this, Xiaoquan's body and mind finally couldn't bear the blow, his vision went dark, and he collapsed on his seat.
The Coco Fortress fell so quickly that the Japanese military leaders were not mentally prepared at all. And the team gave the Japanese army more surprises than that. At this time, in southwestern Myanmar, the third expedition under the sequence of the National Assistance Australian Army Corps
The army launched an offensive against the Japanese and ethnic troops stationed here.
