Age of Conquest Reborn

There is an obvious flaw in Ito Genzaburo's battle plan. It is entirely based on the army. The military operation to attack Australia is a cross-sea campaign. It can reduce the participation of the navy. Even if the navy does not have to have one soldier and one soldier, the huge

Troop transport fleets must also be escorted by fleets when fighting across seas, right?

Although the British naval force in Australia is not strong, with only one task force, which is not comparable to the Imperial Navy's fleet, it is still a threat. What's more, even if Ito tried his best to exclude the navy from the battle plan

Outside of the Australian campaign, how could the navy be willing to let it go? When the time comes, it would be another quarrel. Moreover, it would not be possible without the cooperation of the navy.

What Ito did was too obvious. If the navy was excluded from a battle of strategic significance to the empire, the navy would definitely be reluctant to give in. Moreover, this flaw would give the navy an excuse to attack the army. If not done well, it would lead to

The plan failed, and even the leadership of the Australian campaign fell into the hands of the navy, with the army becoming a supporting role. This was a phenomenon that I never wanted to see.

Therefore, when Emperor Hirohito asked himself, Prince Zaihi's answer was very demanding. He wanted to point out the problem in advance, but also did not let the emperor feel that the army was stingy and narrow-minded, disregarding the overall situation and getting angry.

Make this big

The battle for the Japanese Empire to gain supremacy in the Pacific region was left to the navy, and the navy must not feel that it was at a disadvantage. In an instant, Prince Zain was weighing the pros and cons in so many ways that even his brain cells died.

Don't know how many there are.

Zai Ren replied: "Brother Emperor, as far as this battle plan itself is concerned, it is impeccable, especially in terms of preventing the troops of the Chinese demon Tang Qiuli from taking the opportunity to attack the imperial army. It is prepared and arranged properly. But...

....!"

Zai Ren hesitated for a moment, and Emperor Hirohito gave him a meaningful look and said: "You might as well say it bluntly, if you have anything, I'm looking forward to it!"

Prince Zai Ren replied: "Yes, brother, I think that maybe it is because I am not familiar with the navy. There is no content about the navy in Ito's combat plan. This is a flaw. I am afraid that the navy will be very unhappy."

Satisfied, my brother believes that Ito should be ordered to perfect this part of the plan. Only in this way can the interests of both the army and the navy be taken into account. Moreover, the battle in Australia is indeed inseparable from the cooperation of the navy!

"

Emperor Hirohito understood what he was thinking. He also knew that his imperial younger brother was leaning toward the army. Today, he could show such an open-minded attitude. He was very happy. The battle between the imperial army and navy has been going on for a long time, and he was happy to watch it.

When it comes to this situation, it is easier to control it by dividing and conquering it, and sometimes, it will deliberately add fuel to the flames.

This is the way of the emperor. However, today's meeting involves the empire's final battle in the Pacific and its ambition to dominate the Pacific region. Whether it is the navy or the army, don't blame anyone who hinders you from achieving your goal.

You're welcome!

Emperor Hirohito nodded calmly and said, "I have my own sense of discretion!"

The words were ambiguous, and that's all, Prince Zairen knew it was interesting and didn't mention it. He really couldn't figure out the thoughts of his elder brother, the emperor, and he was afraid that he would make mistakes if he said too much.

Sure enough, as Prince Zain expected, Minister of War Yoneuchi Koichi and Navy Minister Kono Yohei arrived at the palace almost in a hurry. After reading Ito's battle plan, Yoneuchi Koichi felt happy in his heart and remained calm on the surface.

He respectfully said to Emperor Hirohito: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I believe that General Ito Genzaburo's plan is impeccable and the fighter opportunity is fleeting. Since a fighter opportunity has appeared that is beneficial to the Empire of Japan, I would like to ask His Majesty the Emperor to give his permission to implement it!"

As soon as Minai Koichi finished speaking, Navy Minister Kono Yohei quit his job. After scolding all the Yatsura of Ito Genzaburo's ancestors in his heart, he also said: "Your Majesty, I believe that this Army's combat plan has a

The major flaw is that when hundreds of thousands of troops cross the sea to fight without the escort of a naval fleet, isn’t it just treating the lives of imperial soldiers as child’s play?”

Koichi Mineuchi's eyes also widened, but Kono Yohei ignored his chance to refute and continued: "According to our naval intelligence, the British have a task force with more than thirty warships in Australia. There is no navy.

The escort of the fleet and our formation of troop carriers will inevitably be intercepted by the British fleet. This is one of the reasons. Also, when the army seizes the beach to land, the army will be attacked without relying on the large-caliber naval guns of the warships to provide fire support.

Huge losses!”

"Admiral Genzaburo Ito's plan actually excluded the navy completely. It is unimaginable that once the troop transport formation was intercepted by British warships, the army would hold rifles on the vast sea and fight with the British warships.

Naval gun battle? Faced with the ferocious firepower of the British soldiers defending on the shore, the Army would not want to use the flesh and blood of the soldiers to consume the bullets of the British soldiers, right?"

"Minai-kun, you are also an experienced general. Don't you see that the flaws in this plan are enough to put hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers fighting across the sea into catastrophe? Why did you suggest to His Majesty the Emperor without any consideration?

Your Majesty will make your own decision whether the implementation of the Royal Assent was intentional or negligent! I am very worried about whether the army can shoulder the important task of the empire's strategic plan. If the navy leads this battle, I have absolute confidence that it will not make such a minimum mistake.

Big mistake!"

Good guy, Kono Yohei's mouth is like a knife. He is unreasonable and sarcastic. His last words are asking what is Koichi Mineuchi's intention? Just make it clear, you are an American.

The British insiders deliberately sent hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers to die.

Mineuchi was so angry that his face was livid, but this guy Kono caught the reason and blocked himself speechless. He could only say angrily: "Kono-kun, what do you mean?"

With a serious look on his face, Kono Yohei snorted with disdain, turned to Emperor Hirohito and said: "Your Majesty, the Navy is willing to undertake this Australian combat mission, capture various ports in Australia, obtain landing sites, and open the way to the Australian mainland.

After the inland passage, the navy voluntarily stepped back behind the scenes and gave up the honor of occupying Australia to the army!"

Mineuchi was so angry that he almost went crazy. He didn't insult the Army like this. This guy Kono Yohei is really hateful. But what he said was so beautiful that he couldn't refute it. He was so angry that he couldn't do it in front of His Majesty the Emperor.

My son, I had a big quarrel with this guy, not to mention that it was obviously my fault.

With a sullen face, Koichi Mineuchi cursed General Ito Genzaburo in his heart, "Asshole, retarded, come up with a battle plan, and leave such a big clue to the Navy guys, I really don't know what my head is."

Is it filled with water or lead?"

The two imperial ministers, Emperor Hirohito and Prince Zaihi, who were blushing like cockfighting, looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's hearts, "Oh, here we go again! Just like those tied to a trough.

It's like a donkey barking, and it starts pinching after less than three sentences! It's weird, maybe it's because the feng shui of the palace is not good, because I haven't seen the big bosses of the army and navy sit down and talk about things calmly!"

Mineuchi felt that he could not quarrel with Kono Yohei on specific details. Ito Genzaburo's plan had loopholes in it, and Kono had taken advantage of him. Besides, he was no match for him when it came to talking, and there was no one around him.

Helper, Prince Zain is from the Army, but in front of His Majesty the Emperor, he cannot openly help him.

Thinking of this, Koichi Mineuchi bowed deeply to Emperor Hirohito and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the Army's loyalty to Your Majesty and the Empire of Japan is obvious to all. Kono-kun's words really make Your Majesty sad. Since it is a plan, I still

During the discussion, there are loopholes that can be filled, but Kono-kun’s heart-wrenching words are not only harmful to me, but also an insult to the Imperial Army. I ask His Majesty the Emperor to make the decision!"

This is a typical complaint. It avoids talking about the key issues and instead brings up the issue of loyalty. Kono Yohei's face was also livid with anger. He bulged his eyes and was about to refute. Suddenly, Emperor Hirohito shouted.

, "That's enough!" His tone was very unhappy, his tone was not high, but a gloomy chill penetrated into his bones.

The boss was angry, and the younger ones were still trembling. Koichi Yoneuchi and Yohei Kono shut up at that time, and did not dare to say another word. They lowered their heads with a look of fear. At this time, they continued to hold their necks and commit crimes.

If you are stubborn, you are living impatiently. At the very least, you are asking for unhappiness. Both of them are old fools, so how can they not know the importance of it?

Seeing that the two important ministers were frightened like chaff by his words, Emperor Hirohito was very satisfied with his majesty and softened his tone and said: "My dear friends, there is no need to argue anymore. I have made up my mind and order Ito Yanzaburo

Complete the plan to attack Australia's military operations

The army will be the main force, and the navy will cooperate. At the same time, Yanzaburo Ito will be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Australian campaign, and he will control all the army and navy units participating in the war. Zairen, you will supervise and handle this matter, and we must seize the time. I hope

In the next few days, we will get good news!”

After saying that, out of the corner of his eye, he didn't even look at the three important ministers who bowed respectfully and left surrounded by the attendants. His Majesty the Emperor made the final decision with his golden words. The matter was finally concluded. If anyone continues to hold on, that is

I can't get into trouble with His Majesty the Emperor directly.

Prince Zai Ren looked at the two ministers with a half-smile and said: "You two, please go to the Operations Department of the General Staff to discuss the cooperation between the army and navy in the Australian campaign!"

Koichi Mineuchi is in a good mood, and the army is still the main force. Kono Yohei is in a much worse mood. He fights back and forth, but he still works for the army. He is so damn useless. Three big guys who have their own personal agendas get in.

He drove to the General Staff Headquarters in his own car.
