Xiang Xiaoqiang immediately called Shi Shigege at the People's Guard Headquarters and told her his thoughts on the phone.
Of course, Fourteenth Princess is also very aware of the Ming army's plan to bomb Tokyo. She has not been very enthusiastic these days and is feeling a little emotionally uncomfortable. After all, Tokyo is where she grew up. She has lived in Tokyo since she was a few years old.
She went to school and trained there, and there were her classmates, teachers, friends, and colleagues, as well as the streets and buildings she was familiar with, the shops and bosses she was familiar with, the rivers, mountains, docks and coasts she was familiar with...
Now, although Shi Shigege forces herself to cut off all this emotionally and tries her best to pretend that she grew up in the Ming Dynasty, the more she does this, the more counterproductive it is. Now she thinks that soon, a bomb will fall on the place where she grew up.
She felt very uncomfortable. In the past few days, she had excused herself from the intelligence side and refused to go to the headquarters. She had been hiding at the People's Guard headquarters, immersed in sorting out intelligence affairs, and was indifferent to the battle progress in the headquarters.
.
Now that she suddenly received this call from Xiang Xiaoqiang, Shi Shigege first felt a burst of inexplicable joy in her heart, and then forced herself to put aside her emotions and think about the matter rationally.
After thinking for a long time, Shi Shigege took a deep breath and said as calmly and coldly as possible:
"Well, your idea makes sense. You should have told me about this earlier. No one in your headquarters knows the Japanese thoughts better than I do. If Tokyo is really bombed, it will definitely make Japan
The whole country is furious. You are right about this. But before, your purpose was to anger Japan so that it would turn back the warships in the East China Sea and Yellow Sea. Now that you have changed your mind and want to keep Japan to threaten the Soviet Union, then really
It’s better not to bomb Tokyo.”
Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled on the other end of the phone:
"Haha, I know, you grew up in Japan, you can be considered half Japanese, so you will naturally be..."
Fourteen Gege was stunned and then said:
"Okay, believe it or not."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
After a while, the phone rang again, and Shi Shigege picked up the phone again.
It was Xiang Xiaoqiang who was still on the other end of the phone. He laughed and said:
"Hey, hey... well, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant. What I mean is that since you grew up in Japan, you must have a very good understanding of how the Japanese think about things, better than us. We all know this.
I can’t compare to you, I didn’t say that. Since you said so, it’s absolutely right to listen to you, hehe.”
Fourteen Gege also knew that his reaction was a little too big, so he laughed and said calmly:
"Well, so I said, you should have come and asked me earlier."
"Oh, it's just that," Xiang Xiaoqiang also complained at the other end, "I don't know what happened to Stalin. He just refused to send people to negotiate a few days earlier. If it had been a few days earlier, the Tianshu squadron would have been destroyed.
After Okinawa, you can go back to your country directly. It’s not like now, having to travel hundreds of extra miles in vain.”
Fourteen Gege pondered for a moment, made up his mind, and said calmly:
"Actually, it won't be in vain."
"Oh? Why?"
Fourteen Gege said:
"Instead of bombing Tokyo, we can completely change the bombing target to Yokosuka Naval Port. Yokosuka is more than 30 kilometers south of Tokyo and is also surrounded by Tokyo Bay. There are things worth bombing in the port now. Isn't the Nagato always there?
"
"ha?!"
"Well. I'm just giving you a suggestion. I'm just telling you that bombing the city of Tokyo will boost the morale of the Japanese army. Bombing the Yokosuka military port will only lower the morale of the Japanese army. As for whether it is feasible militarily, you can discuss it later.
Let's take care of it, I won't interfere."
"oh……"
Xiang Xiaoqiang nodded slowly, thoughtfully, and hung up the phone.
…
This proposal from Shishi Gege opened up a new idea. Xiang Xiaoqiang quickly ran back to the command hall from the phone room, sat down in his seat, and immediately asked Xiu Xiu to arrange power generation and notify the Tianshu squadron to continue to Tokyo Bay.
Head towards the direction and be ready to receive orders at any time. No matter what order you receive, you don't need to call back for confirmation, you can just follow the order to fight.
Then, he came to the General Staff of the People's Republic of China, found Xiong Dingming and the staff of the "Aircraft Carrier Staff", and quickly studied the proposal of the Fourteenth Gege.
In fact, in the original plan, Yokosuka Military Port was also one of the targets. It was just a secondary target. If things went smoothly after bombing Tokyo and there were not intercepted by a large number of enemy planes, then Yokosuka Military Port could be bombed by hand. But because Tokyo must be bombed first
The two nearby airports were bombed, and then the city of Tokyo was bombed, and then the Yokosuka Naval Port was bombed. There were too many targets, and they were relatively scattered. It was not expected that the Yokosuka Military Port would be bombed into anything.
But now the plan has changed. Tokyo is no longer included in the target. Instead, the main target has been changed to Yokosuka Military Port. So naturally, more time and bombs can be concentrated, and only one place can be attacked, and the bombing effect will be better.
Much. But in this way, the purpose of the bombing changed from political to purely military.
The previous plan to bomb Tokyo was not to kill a few Japanese, nor to blow down a few houses in Japan, nor to pursue any actual damage, but to seek the shocking effect of "a bomb falling on the enemy's capital". So even if there is only one
The bomb fell on Tokyo, and the entire plan was successful. But now the target has been changed to a military port, and this has become a purely military operation, which must be measured by the standards of military planning.
How much actual effect can bombing have? How much loss will our army suffer? Is the exchange ratio cost-effective?...
Xiong Dingming himself and a group of staff were immersed in the deduction, sweating profusely. Xiang Xiaoqiang was not professional and not very involved, but he was very concerned and watched from the side, asking Xiuxiu to explain to him from time to time.
After about an hour, these naval staff officers seemed to have a clear idea. They slowly put down their pencils and compasses, and discussed among themselves, nodding their heads. Finally, Xiong Dingming also straightened up, touched his chin, and looked at the chart.
Nod.
"Yes," he concluded, "it's basically feasible. Go ahead and generate electricity for the Tianshu squadron."
Xiang Xiaoqiang relaxed for a while and felt that the sweat on his back had soaked the shirt on his back. He sat on the sofa and told Xiu Xiu to draft a telegram.
"Master Xiong," he leaned on the backrest and said tiredly, "I think this has another advantage. Yokosuka is right next to Tokyo. We bombed Yokosuka without arousing national hatred among the Japanese, and we could achieve bombing
The shocking effect of Tokyo. Because it’s obvious, horizontal
Suga and Tokyo are next to each other. Since we can bomb Yokosuka, we can bomb Tokyo. Haha... This is tantamount to telling the Japanese: You guys, look at it, right? I could have destroyed Tokyo, but now I can't.
Smashing Tokyo only smashed a military port for you, so be satisfied."
"Haha," Xiong Dingming also nodded and smiled, "That's true. This will not only make the Japanese completely frustrated and morale plummeted, but will not cause the Japanese soldiers to risk their lives with us. Moreover, we can actually get military
The benefits."
Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and said:
"Yeah, if I can get the result of Nagato this time, that would be so... haha."
