Age of Conquest Reborn

The Japanese plan to withdraw troops from the Southwest Pacific battlefield was hit hard by the Independence Division fleet at the beginning, with a loss of 180,000 people. General Mitsuichi Yoneuchi, the chief of staff of the Japanese base camp who was responsible for the specific command of the evacuation plan, is now in dire straits.

.

The problem faced by Koichi Minai is that the first batch of requisitioned troop transport ships were all destroyed by the independent division fleet. Even if they dig another three feet, they will not be able to satisfy the more than 400,000 soldiers who are increasingly passive on the battlefield at once.

After retreating to Australia, the warships of the independent division fleet were blocked in various sea areas leading to Australia, like hungry tigers blocking the road.

Minai Koichi clearly realized that without a strong fleet escort, even if there were enough troop transport ships, it would be just a dish under the guns of the independent division fleet. If he wanted to complete the retreat plan, he would not waste the remaining forty

If tens of thousands of people are buried in the sea, they must coordinate their actions with the navy, but this is a bigger problem.

In order to seek the position of commander of the Imperial North American Operations Command on behalf of the Army, at the last imperial military meeting, Koichi Yonai offended the head of the Navy, Admiral Nagano Shuzan, the Minister of the Navy, to death. Now,

When these two people met, it was not just as simple as ignoring each other. As soon as they saw each other, they had the urge to draw swords at each other. Especially Nagano Shuzan, his eyes turned red when he saw him, and he wanted to pounce on him and bite him to death.

Mineuchi hesitated, feeling embarrassed, and asked the Navy to cooperate with this evacuation. This could be done through His Majesty the Emperor's decree, but the Navy did not have the guts to disobey His Majesty the Emperor's order.

But this is only on the surface. If Nagano Osamu makes a stumbling block behind his back and makes himself suffer, with that guy's cunning and insidiousness, there are countless ways to do it, and he can also lose money to the Imperial Army.

At the very least, he allowed himself to be accused of command errors and mediocrity. Koichi Mineuchi knew his opponent.

Furthermore, the most powerful strategic force in the navy now is the Combined Fleet. And the commander of the Combined Fleet, Yamamoto Isoroku, was driven out of the throne of the commander of the Empire's North American Combat Command by his own means. Can you think of it?

resentment?

If the commander who is specifically responsible for commanding the escort operation is resentful, he can also use countless methods to make himself suffer. Therefore, the key to the problem lies with Nagano Shuzan. If he abandons his past grudges, everything will be easier to handle.

Yamamoto Isoroku will not interfere behind the scenes.

After much deliberation, Yoneuchi Koichi decided to visit Nagano Osamu's house in person. To be precise, it was to plead guilty, which would best achieve the result of "harmony between generals and generals" as ancient Chinese people did.

I don’t know what Koichi Yonai visited and had a secret talk with Nagano Shuzan, or whether the two parties reached some agreement, or Koichi Yonai made some major concessions. The Japanese Army and Navy once again joined hands.

Complete the important task of the Japanese Empire to evacuate more than 400,000 soldiers from the battlefield in the Southwest Pacific.

In this regard, including Emperor Hirohito, all the big bosses in the base camp praised Yoneuchi Koichi and Nagano Shuzan for their high integrity and selflessness. When the empire needed it most, they were able to abandon factionalism and work together.

National calamity, save the Empire’s Southwest Pacific battlefield troops from a critical situation!

But only the two parties involved, Army Minister General Mitsuhiro Yoneuchi and Navy Minister Admiral Nagano Shuzan, knew the inside story best. No one else, including Emperor Hirohito, knew anything about it.

An urgent telegram, in the name of Admiral Nagano Shuzan, the Minister of the Navy, arrived in the hands of the Combined Fleet Commander Yamamoto Gosei, who was commanding the huge combined fleet and rushed to the East Indian Ocean.

The content of the telegram was to order the Combined Fleet to cancel its previous mission of cutting off the independent division's troops and logistical supply lines in the Australian battlefield in the eastern Indian Ocean, and instead to immediately proceed to the Southwest Pacific battlefield to cover the Imperial Army troops and withdraw them to Australia.

Task.

In the telegram, in addition to the appeal order, Nagano Osamu also specifically explained the reasons and process for changing the established mission. In one sentence, the army suffered a big loss in front of the China Independent Division fleet and was eager to wait for the navy.

Go to help.

After receiving the order from the Navy Ministry, Admiral Yamamoto felt very unhappy. According to the previous order, the combined fleet was going to the eastern Indian Ocean. Naturally, it was impossible to take the route of the Western Pacific. The sea conditions were not complex, and the China Independent Division was still in the Maldives.

It is within the cruising range of the land-based fleet coming to the peninsula.

Although Admiral Yamamoto is naturally not afraid of the combined fleet's strength, there is no need to cause trouble. The combined fleet's course is via the Polynesian Islands in the South Pacific. After replenishing in Hawaii, it will then move to southern Australia and finally reach the East Indian Ocean.

Combat sea area.

The current location of the combined fleet is in the waters of the Northern Cook Islands. If it implements the new order of the Navy, it will have to turn around and turn back, which means it will have to travel nearly a thousand kilometers in vain. Therefore, Admiral Yamamoto is very unhappy with such a large force.

The huge fleet wastes time on the road just to clean up the mess for those brainless guys in the Army?

General Yamamoto was very angry. He said to his chief of staff, Lieutenant General Matsuda: "Matsuda-kun, I really can't understand whether the army commanders are feeble-minded and idiots, including the one who commanded the Imperial Army from the Southwest Pacific battlefield.

Retreating General Minai Koichi."

"They actually dared to evacuate more than 200,000 Imperial Army soldiers to Australia with just some civilian ships without a strong fleet escort. As a result, more than 180,000 brave Imperial Army soldiers became the targets of massacre by Chinese warships.

!”

"I feel very sad for the stupidity and idiotism of the army generals. The lives of more than 100,000 Imperial Army soldiers were ruined in the hands of these idiots in the Army. Miuchi Miuchi cannot escape the blame and should commit suicide by caesarean section to apologize for his crime! And such a thing

Man, now he openly seizes the high position of Chief of General Staff of the base camp, which is even more tragic for the empire!"

Seeing his boss complaining loudly, Lieutenant General Matsuda, the chief of staff and his confidant for many years, had to give some advice, "Commander, don't feel sad for the incompetence of the army generals. None of us can change this status quo!"

"For Nagano-dono to be able to issue such an order, he must have considered all aspects of it. My judgment is that Nagano-dono is using this opportunity to achieve a certain purpose, right?"

Admiral Yamamoto did not comment. He was not a white man. With Nagano's wisdom, how could he do anything detrimental to the navy? What he could do was to resolutely execute the order, "Matsuda-kun, order the entire fleet to immediately turn to the Solomon Islands.

After carrying out supplies in Honiara and heading to the war zone, the Army is still waiting for us to save lives!"

As for the China Independent Division fleet that buried 180,000 Imperial Army soldiers at the bottom of the sea, Admiral Yamamoto did not consider it at all. Looking at the world, if a naval fleet can compete with the Imperial Japanese Navy Combined Fleet, it will be the Pacific Ocean of the United States.

fleet, but that has become history. He personally ended the destruction and rebuilt the two U.S. Pacific fleets. The current U.S. Navy exists in name only.

And Germany is a country that attaches great importance to land power. The German army is famous for its military force, but the German navy is a junior. The Atlantic Ocean is enough for the German warships to toss. As for the Chinese fleet, let's call it a fleet.

, in the eyes of General Yamamoto, it was simply not enough.

If you have to compare, it is the difference between a strong man with martial arts skills and a primary school boy. Admiral Yamamoto believes that as soon as the combined fleet arrives, the wisest move for the Chinese warships is to flee upon hearing the news, otherwise, the entire army will be annihilated.

, I don’t mind using the warships of the China fleet to vent my inner depression and loss.

General Yamamoto looked down on army generals and called them idiots. In the central region of the United States, General Ito Yanzaburo, who took over the post of commander of Japan's North American Combat Command, made a speech in front of the commander of Japan's North American Combat Command in Salt Lake City.

In front of Major General Akutagawa, the deputy chief of staff who was transferred back, he cursed Isoroku Yamamoto and chief of staff Hirohiko Minamino.

"Yamamoto is an idiot, a typical layman who gives blind orders. Minamino falsely claims to be a master of strategy, and is even more of a fool! I don't understand why His Majesty the Emperor and the headquarters only used these two people to take charge of the war against the United States.

Command?" General Ito's face was ashen and he roared with thunderous anger.

From a remote island in the Eastern Pacific, to a garrison commander commanding a garrison of more than a hundred men, to the base camp with a transfer order, to serving as the deputy chief of staff of the Imperial North American Combat Command, his life has been full of ups and downs. Major General Akutagawa felt like he was dreaming.

The chief of staff, General Minamino, was sent to rest by the commander, General Ito. As the deputy chief of staff, he actually performed the job of chief of staff. Just like in the past at the headquarters of the Australian Army, one person was under ten thousand people.

Above all people, Major General Akutagawa was grateful to his old boss, General Ito, and knew why he was so angry.

After General Ito Yanzaburo took over the position of Commander of North American Operations, he was very clear-headed and knew what he should do. The empire had already obtained the benefits it deserved in the war against the United States. Then, the strategic focus of the empire would inevitably shift.

Australia's battlefield in crisis.

Deploying most of the troops from the North American battlefield to strengthen the military strength of the Australian continent was the only option. General Ito began to work on this matter when he took over. Los Angeles and San Francisco were used as assembly areas to prepare for the deployment of more than a dozen elite divisions.

, first gather together and stand by. Once the order from the base camp is issued, hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers will be able to board the ship immediately.

The idea was good, but the reality was cruel. General Ito was furious to find that the German army had controlled all transportation arteries from the central region of the United States to the west coast.

For the so-called actual occupation, when Yamamoto was the commander, he dispersed more than one million imperial troops to every corner of the central United States. It would take quite a long time just to gather the troops.

Time is not the main problem.
