Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 2864 General Ito defeated

General Ito's tone was full of contempt, almost making General Yamamoto faint with anger, "This bastard, on the one hand, he clings to the army-centered mentality, and on the other hand, he emphasizes that the control of air and sea is a matter of the navy, but there are

And considering the navy and aviation forces as subordinate to the army, isn't this a typical paradox?"

"Ito-kun, since you think that the issues of air and sea control must be solved before landing on the west coast of the United States, then it proves that the tactics I am using now are correct and effective!" General Yamamoto's eyes were already burning.

Son, "Ito-kun won't deny this, right?"

Not to be outdone, General Ito glared and said, "It's not a matter of denial or recognition, but a matter of fighting against the United States. All military operations must be dominated by the army, otherwise it will be difficult to win!"

"Remind Yamamoto-kun not to forget that the Australian war that just ended was won by the army. The attached air force did not even have a supporting role. To occupy the entire Australian continent, we still relied on the soldiers of the Imperial Army.

Both feet! I haven’t seen any outstanding performance from the navy and aviation forces, which spend more than two-thirds of the empire’s military expenditure!”

General Yamamoto was about to explode with anger. Faced with such a stubborn guy who clung to his old experience, there was no need to continue the conversation. The more we talked, the more things got worse. We would not expose this stubborn bastard's background.

Son, he will not give in!

"Bang!" General Yamamoto burst out with anger and slammed the table. The plates, bowls and other things on the table jumped up and his voice became louder, "Ito-kun, don't cling to your argument that the Army will win.

Don’t let go. Ito Junying

You shouldn’t forget how a few years ago, on the southern battlefield of the China mainland, the Imperial China Southern Expeditionary Force commanded by Ito-kun was beaten horribly by the troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, and was almost annihilated?

"

"As for the navy, it has never suffered a defeat since the beginning of the Pacific War. It completely annihilated the repeatedly rebuilt Pacific Fleet of the U.S. Navy. Even the Australian war that Ito-kun was proud of was a complete blockade of the United States mainland to Australia by the navy.

Victory was achieved under the premise of maintaining the mainland's transportation lines. Ito wouldn't think that he could win the Australian War just by relying on the army, right?"

General Ito is even more unwilling to be outdone. Although you are the commander and I am the deputy, the military rank is the same, and there are two factions. The backstage is evenly matched. Don't try to scare me with your attitude. If you can't explain anything, just slap the table and stare. I'm used to your bad habits.

, take me as your subordinate in the navy?

What's even more unbearable is that he actually exposed his own background. I wonder which battle in the southern part of China continent. Is it his eternal pain? General Ito simply raised his hand and said, "Wow!" Overturning the table in front of him, all kinds of things happened.

The dishes were scattered all over the floor. Then, he looked provocatively at General Yamamoto, who was livid with anger, and gritted his teeth and growled: "Commander Yamamoto, you have gone too far. You should take back what you just said!"

As far as the positions of Generals Yamamoto and Ito are concerned, when it comes to issues of principle, there is no possibility of discussion or compromise. One is an extreme fan of the Army's winning theory, and it is a truth that has been tested by victory. If you want to change

, more difficult than reaching the sky!

One is that the navy determines the outcome of a war. It is a loyal supporter and practitioner of the key factor theory. It has also been tested in actual combat. Coincidentally, the defeated opponents were all Americans and the Allied Forces, which were dominated by Americans.

force.

The differences between Generals Yamamoto and Ito on tactical issues and campaign thinking in the war against the United States are absolutely irreconcilable. This is no longer a battle of personal sentiments. Even if they take the lawsuit to His Majesty the Emperor, it will not help.

, it is related to the battle between the land power and the sea power of the Japanese Army and Navy that has lasted for many years, and which one is the dominant one. Even the imperial power cannot forcibly suppress one side!

The two generals present here, the commander-in-chief and deputy commander of Japan's North American Operations Command, one slapped the table, the other lifted the table, and then looked at each other fiercely like a fighting cock. Because of General Ito, Major General Kawaguchi, who was able to attend this reception banquet, had arrived early.

I was so shocked that I was stunned, my mind went blank, and I had no idea to interrupt!

General Minamino sighed deeply and remained silent. Even he could not reconcile this situation. In his heart, he was still on the side of General Yamamoto. He was also quite disgusted with General Ito's stubbornness and obsolescence, and he was very disgusted with the United States.

If the war is fought according to Ito's ideas, the future of the empire will definitely not be good, but he also knows that he cannot persuade Ito to give up the theory he insists on. The war is imminent and the generals are so divided. How can it be done?

As one of the few strategists in the Japanese Empire, General Minamino was deeply worried about this. In this case, it was not a question of sides or choices, but a question of whether the empire could win the war against the United States.

actual departure.

General Minamino took a sip of wine and sighed: "Yamamoto-kun, Ito-kun, any one of you is a leader in the imperial world, and you are a contributor to the empire in the Pacific War.

Everyone has their own reasons for sticking to their own theories!”

"But what Minano wants to say now is that any theory must be considered in the actual situation. As far as the war against the United States is about to be launched by the empire, my personal attitude is that Yamamoto-kun's tactics and campaign plans,

It is the most appropriate and effective!”

"Ito-kun's theory of the Army's victory may become dominant in later operations in the United States, but at least for now, it is out of date. Therefore, I stand firmly on Yamamoto-kun's side!"

"You..." General Ito was so furious that he almost blurted out the word "traitor" and cursed with gritted teeth in his heart, "You old bastard, are you still a member of the Army? How did you get to Pearl Harbor?

, having a fierce fight with the Navy? How about wearing the same pants as Yamamoto?"

"Commander Yamamoto and Chief of Staff Minamino, we have different paths and are not working together!" General Ito said with a livid face, "I will truthfully state the truth to His Majesty the Emperor and to the base camp as the deputy commander of the Imperial North American Operations Command.

Even if His Majesty the Emperor disagrees with my own views and opinions, I will not change my original intention! Farewell! Thank you for letting me gain experience! Kawaguchi-kun, let’s go!”

General Ito and Major General Kawaguchi walked away angrily. Before leaving, they put down their hard words. General Yamamoto and General Minamino were left, looking at the mess on the ground, relatively speechless, and their faces looked as ugly as death.

Similar.

After a long time, General Minamino said quietly: "Yamamoto-kun, what worries me the most is that army generals like General Ito are stubborn in their own opinions and fail to see that because of the different battlefields, the tactics to be adopted should also be different. Such changes, and

In actual battles, it is definitely not the empire's luck to do things that disobey orders!"

"This is no longer a fight of will, it will spoil the big thing! The most taboo thing in a battle is for generals to have two minds and restrain each other. It is impossible for Ito Yanzaburo to give up his ideas and follow your ideas completely.

Yamamoto-kun, it’s time to make up your mind!”

General Yamamoto suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with gleaming light, and he said uncertainly: "Nano-kun, what do you mean..."

"Yes, in order to ensure that the empire achieves the final victory in the war against the United States, you must consolidate all command powers into one person. You should not appear to challenge your authority, or those who are qualified and capable to decentralize power.

Existing in the Imperial North American Combat Command, that would be bad!" There was a dark light in General Minamino's eyes.

Two days later, first General Ito's memorial flew to Emperor Hirohito, and then General Yamamoto's memorial also flew to Tokyo. Unlike General Ito's memorial, General Yamamoto did not make any statement in the memorial.

own campaign ideas and specific tactical issues.

Instead, he put it forward with a very clear attitude, "His Majesty the Emperor, at a time when the Empire is about to launch a large-scale attack on the United States, I have thought over and over again that it is particularly important to centralize the battle command. Otherwise, it will be difficult to fulfill His Majesty's high expectations without mutual constraints!"

"Therefore, I sincerely request that Your Majesty issue an edict to abolish the position of Deputy Commander of the Imperial North American Operations Command, and that it should not be created again in the future. The struggle for dominance of the Imperial Army and Navy has been going on for a long time, and I do not want to devote all my energy to it.

, spend money on this, otherwise, I would rather resign from my current position as commander of the Empire's North American Combat Command and give up my job!"

General Yamamoto's meaning is very clear. If Ito Genzaburo is not transferred, I will not work. I will hire another Gao Ming. In the North American Combat Command, there is me without him, with him without me. Anyway, we cannot be tied to the same trough.

Grass.

After reading the two memorials, Emperor Hirohito's head was swollen and he had a headache. Why couldn't the people in the army and navy, who had been enemies for several lifetimes, put aside their past grudges and cooperate sincerely for the great cause of the empire?

Both came from the army. Look, Minamino Osamu and Yamamoto Isoroku work very happily together. Minamino is probably an anomaly. Yamamoto and Ito are both capable and heavyweight front-line commanders, and both have great military exploits.

Being alive made it really difficult for Emperor Hirohito to choose and make decisions.

Of course Hirohito hoped that Yamamoto and Ito would cooperate sincerely and jointly build a world for the empire, but he knew that this was absolutely impossible. They both brought the lawsuit to him. The two refused to admit defeat and refused to give in to each other.

Strong enough generals, if they are forced to be together, bad things will happen!

Three days later, an order signed by Emperor Hirohito arrived at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. "In view of the fact that the war against the United States has reached a critical juncture, in order to centralize military command and better coordinate the combat pace of the army and navy, the base camp has decided to cancel the order."

As deputy commander of the Imperial North American Combat Command, the former deputy commander, General Ito Genzaburo, was immediately recalled to the country and found another appointment!"
