A tropical storm swept half of Japan. After the storm, the entire Tokyo was in chaos. Due to the influence of more than two years of war and the increasingly tight blockade of the Republican Navy submarine forces, the entire streets of Tokyo were depressed and the shops were
There are not many products on the counter. It turns out that all kinds of food have disappeared. Due to the implementation of a strict food rationing system, the food panic in Japan is not particularly serious, but people still have to do with less and less food quantification.
I felt the prospect of the "jihad" being carried out by the co-Chinese people and was as smooth as the newspaper boasted.
After the latest round of mobilization orders were announced, it was rare to see young people wearing civilian clothes on the streets again. I occasionally saw one, basically wearing old military uniforms, either with crutches, or with a broken hand or a half.
Disabled veterans with arms. Almost all adult men from the age of seventeen to forty-eight are wearing military uniforms. The factories and rural areas lack labor. It turns out that women who stay at home have become the most important part of the labor army.
A black Chevrolet sedan ran through the street with falling leaves. Army Minister Shinro Hata looked outside the car with a cold expression. There were few vehicles on the street, and the pre-war prosperity had long disappeared on the cold street.
The process of the war was far beyond the expectations of these decision makers. In more than two years, the Chinese, who had always been looked down upon by Japanese soldiers, swept across Southeast Asia, South Asia, and in Central Asia, and forced the Russians to withdraw from this.
The region, Britain, France, and Russia were driven out of the battlefield from afar, and there was only one Japan left in the entire East Asia that was alone under the stormy attack of the Chinese.
Before the war, the pro-war soldiers who thought they could make a big fuss in this war were criticized. In the navy, the pro-war Nagao Cunny was forced to leave his post and advocated peace talks with China.
Yoshida Yoshida was elected by Minuchi Mitsumasa and Narimi Inoue, and there were rumors that the new Prime Minister Nobuyuki Abe was preparing to make his advocate "slowly advance" Ishihara Kanir returned to serve as Deputy Chief of Staff.
"The Chinese army has broken through the Yalu River defense line, and their navy has carried out three large-scale bombings on the imperial industrial facilities located in Kyushu Island and Minami Honshu during this year. The incompetent imperial navy and aviation units were unable to defend their homeland.
"Hashiro lamented in his heart that the haze of failure has been shrouding over Tokyo.
"The biggest mistake of Japan is that it should not involve itself in the war early!" At the joint meeting of the base camp convened by the cabinet, Lieutenant General Ishihara, who had been excluded from the army's decision-making level, made a big fuss at the meeting, and
Most of the main warriors who advocated joining the war were speechless.
In this situation, Prime Minister Kiichiro Hirami had no choice but to resign. In the end, Army General Nobuyuki Abe served as Prime Minister and formed a new cabinet. However, at the first joint cabinet meeting, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Industry and Ministry of Finance and Tibetan Affairs, Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Finance and Economics, Ministry of Finance and Economics, Ministry of Tibetan Affairs and Ministry of Finance and Economics
, the General Staff, the Army and the Navy provinces refused to give in and quarreled together.
After Abe Nobuki came to power, he turned Nomura Yoshisaburo, who was born in the army, into the foreign minister. Nomura was very suitable for Abe's taste and was determined to form an alliance of the United States, Britain, France and Japan, trying to drag the Americans into the water.
"American ghost animals" are not so easy to fool. Although they agreed to sell weapons and scarce supplies to the Japanese, they had to exchange them for real money and silver, and they would sell them regardless of the delivery. The Japanese would solve the transportation problem by themselves.
The limited margin was almost hollowed out by the Americans. Nomura wondered whether to learn from the British and also wanted to create a "lending bill" to use the Central Pacific islands seized from the Germans during the World War in Japan to the United States.
Someone changed something, but unexpectedly caused an uproar. The young and powerful officers in the army and the navy would never allow such "traitoring the country" to happen. They threatened to execute Yoshisaburo Nomura, which almost triggered a 226 mutiny. The senior military officials
The whole group banned the voice and no longer held the so-called "rental" matter.
Given that the Japanese are very useful, the British are quite generous. They squeeze out some funds from their not-wealthy pockets every year and buy weapons and raw materials to Japan, but most of these precious materials are sent by the Chinese.
Entering the seabed.
The Ministry of Tripitaka and the Ministry of Tong Industry criticized the Navy for their inaction, and the Ministry of Navy proposed that more steel rations were needed to build more escort warships. The Ministry of Army decided not to agree to do so. Now Japan's steel production has been reduced to
Less than one million tons, the army also needs to equip more tanks to deal with the Chinese armored forces.
The Republican Navy submarine sank two American cargo ships off the coast of Japan, but it gave the Japanese hope. Judging from the statement issued by Roosevelt, he showed enough participation in the war, which made Japan, who was in desperate situation, look at it again.
It's time to light.
Persist, as long as you persist until the moment the Americans join the war!
Now the Japanese put all their hopes on the participation of "American ghost animals" in the war.
In the autumn Jiaodong Peninsula, the fields are covered with red sorghum, and farmers are busy preparing for harvesting. Not far from these fields, it is a large and well-defended airport. Within 5 kilometers of the airport, it is set up as a military service.
In the restricted area, a guard regiment and an air defense regiment were also deployed around the base to protect the safety of the entire base.
Two asphalt runways, which are 1,500 meters long and more than 30 meters wide, extend far away under the shade of trees. In the airport's shutdown area, dozens of H-7 heavy engines are neatly arranged. These aircraft have been refueled.
Loading ammunition and final routine checks, waiting quietly for the order to take off.
On both sides of the apron are two huge concrete hangars, a six-story base command center building, and several three-story dormitories for pilots and base staff.
In the auditorium of the base, more than 500 crew members were sitting neatly dressed and listened to the pre-war mission report of Zhao Lewen, the commander of the 3rd Strategic Bomber Command.
"…HNA's heroes have blown up Mitsubishi Nagasaki Aircraft Factory. Now it's our turn to destroy Japan's largest industrial center. Our mission goal this time is Tokyo!"
As soon as Zhao Lewen finished speaking, warm cheers suddenly sounded in the auditorium.
Bombing Japan is a unanimous call from all members of the strategic bomber force, but since the war began, the top military leadership has been constantly rejecting the petitions and combat plans of the strategic bomber force until the latest H-7 bomber began to be equipped in large quantities.
They finally waited for this day to come.
The Republican Army’s strategic bomber unit is different from the general aviation unit. It is not affiliated with the theater or the army, but is directly led by the General Staff. The Republican Army now has only four strategic bomber commands, including the 1st command.
In Changchun, the 2nd Command is in Tashkent, the 3rd Command is in Laiyang, and the 4th Command is in eastern Zhejiang.
Unlike single-engine or double-engine medium bombers equipped by the war zone or the group army aviation, each bomber command is equipped with H-6 or H-7 heavy bombers equipped with four aero engines, which is a strategic air force force directly under the General Staff.
Currently, each strategic bomber command generally has an H-6 bomber wing and two H-7 bomber wings. Each command has a total of 186 heavy bombers, including spare aircraft. Since the Third Bomber Command, the third bomber command
After moving to Jiaodong, the bomber wings they belonged to also began to enter three large airports on the Shandong Peninsula.
The crew, who have been trained for nearly two years, are finally going to the battlefield today.
