Americans still do a good job of keeping secrets secret, at least as far as the Japanese are concerned.
When the U.S. fleet sailed toward Guam, Yamaguchi Bunta and Ozawa Jisaburo stood on the bridge of the aircraft carrier Takehisa, watching the U.S. fleet getting further and further away from them, their faces full of gloom.
Ozawa suddenly felt something: "I used to think that people from several ethnic groups in the world were the most short-sighted and untrustworthy. Now it seems that Americans from the so-called civilized world are nothing more than that. In this world, people like us in Yamato
There are fewer and fewer people who keep their faith like this!"
Yamaguchi: "The Americans really deserve to die. What they do is a typical example of harming others and harming themselves. No, they harm others and themselves. Ozawa-kun, I want to call Mr. Koizumi later——"
"Do you want Mr. Koizumi to take back your life? No. Yamaguchi-kun, you should know that there are many people spying on your position now. If you openly disobey Mr. Koizumi's order, based on my understanding of Mr. Koizumi, he will definitely withdraw
Yours!"
"But I can't lead my soldiers to jump into a pit of fire despite knowing that there is a fire pit ahead. My personal reputation is not a big deal, but have you ever thought about it. Once the combined fleet suffers heavy losses, will the empire still have a future in Southeast Asia?
"
Ozawa stopped talking. Regarding the current situation of the Combined Fleet, as veteran generals in the Japanese Navy, Yamaguchi and Ozawa are actually quite unwilling. However, no matter how angry they are in their hearts, in the face of the cruel reality, they
There is no choice but to bury your head deeply.
When they first took charge of the Combined Fleet, Yamaguchi and Ozawa spent a lot of time studying several battles between the Combined Fleet and the Chinese Pacific Fleet because they could not believe it and were unconvinced. They did so in the hope of finding the Chinese fleet.
Fortunately, they would take revenge when they met in the future. However, it backfired. As the research deepened and as more things were learned, they suddenly discovered that the failure of the combined fleet was not due to the inferiority of their predecessors, but the true strength of both sides.
True manifestation. This discovery was astonishing to them. Ozawa was quoted as saying at the time: When did the technological level of the Chinese reach such a high level?
Yamaguchi and Ozawa are relatively good at accepting new things among the veteran generals of the Japanese Navy, so they have dabbled in radar technology, jet fighter technology, submarine torpedo technology, and radio technology. Because of this, regardless of
Whether it was the Battle of Green Island or the Battle of Timor Sea, they saw much more from it than the average Japanese naval general.
Ozawa was silent for a while, then raised his head and looked at Yamaguchi and said firmly: "In that case, please sign my name! By the way, we should probably attach the relevant analysis of the Jiwan Battle."
Yamaguchi nodded: "Yes, we should let Mr. Koizumi see the real gap between us and the China Fleet."
Later that day, the telegrams signed by Yamaguchi and Ozawa were delivered to Koizumi Minichiro. At that time, Koizumi Minichiro was a little excited about the sudden interrogation telegram sent by U.S. President Truman, and Yamaguchi and the others read half of their telegrams.
, the little devil is angry!
The alliance between the United States and Japan is not strong, and both sides lack even the most basic trust. When the world is fine, this is nothing, but once something happens, blame-shifting is inevitable. From Truman's
From his point of view, he had no choice but to send a text message to ask Koizumi Minichiro. He was forced by the wave of domestic denunciation. But from Koizumi Minichiro's point of view, he would not understand Truman's difficulties, but would only feel that Americans "have no ability to fight a war."
, but his skills in wrangling are top-notch in the world.”
Objectively speaking, because the Philippines is now actually controlled by the Japanese, Guiuan was attacked and the supplies stored by the Americans there were destroyed. The Americans seemed to have reason to hold the Japanese accountable. However, several supplies in New Guinea
The stations were actually under the control of the U.S. Army. They were attacked and even the supplies they had hoarded were completely destroyed. This actually had nothing to do with the Japanese. So Truman’s questioning call was really unreasonable.
Koizumi was already worried about the Malan War, and now he was choked by the Americans with a cross-examination cable. Naturally, his mood was extremely bad. At this time, Yamaguchi and Ozawa reported to him that the Americans were taking matters into their own hands and leaving the alliance.
The fleet has gone to Guam, which will result in the Japanese combined fleet having to face the Chinese Pacific Fleet alone. One can imagine the negative impact this will have on Koizumi's mood.
"Eight squares!" He slapped the table hard, and his right foot became unsteady. The force on his foot caused Koizumi to grin in pain, and he almost fell to the ground when his body tilted.
The Japs behind him had quick hands and eyes, and quickly came up to help him.
Putting his hands on the edge of the table and shaking his body to drive away the Japanese who was supporting him, Koizumi's eyes fell on the chart on the side and asked in a hoarse voice: "Have you not found any trace of the China fleet yet?"
"No. The Chinese are very cunning, and their ships are equipped with the most advanced engines -" Narumi Inoue answered.
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Koizumi - "I don't want to hear this. I just want to know now how long it will take for Hatoyama and the others to find the Chinese fleet!"
Hatoyama Funagi, Yamabegawa Sankey's most proud disciple, is also the current captain of the Yamato Soul Support Team. After discovering that the U.S.-Japanese combined fleet was unable to track the Chinese Pacific Fleet, Koizumi Minichiro sent Hatoyama Funahi and asked him to lead his men.
The members of the Yamato Spirit Fighting Team flew modified Fifty special attack aircraft to search for traces of the China Pacific Fleet. Because they felt that they would definitely win the Battle of Malan, and thus have the possibility of reoccupying the entire Malay Peninsula. In Koizumi’s view, China Pacific Fleet
The fleet has become the biggest obstacle to his landing on the Indochina Peninsula through the Malay Peninsula. Therefore, although he is currently focusing his main energy on the Battle of Malan, he is equally eager to find the Chinese Pacific Fleet and defeat it.
Originally, he had high hopes for Hatoyama's ship, but now, because Hatoyama has been unable to bring him good news, on the contrary, he has damaged several new Fifty special attack aircraft, and the Americans have taken matters into their own hands.
It is very likely that he will give up the great situation in the Pacific. He has lost patience and tolerance for Hatoyama.
Koizumi's demeanor made Inoue Narumi feel nervous. He immediately said to a staff officer: "Sakamura, contact Colonel Hatoyama immediately! Tell him that Mr. Koizumi needs Hatoyama to give a specific time! We must find the China Fleet as soon as possible.
