Age of Conquest Reborn

After going through untold hardships and trekking through the tropical virgin rainforest until around three o'clock in the afternoon, and at the cost of the lives of more than a dozen soldiers, Major General Kuroda and his team finally searched for the aircraft that had crashed and was burned beyond recognition.

The wreckage of a large transport aircraft.

"Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe, please keep you and your men on guard two hundred meters away! Do not get even half a step closer to the crash site without my permission!" Major General Kuroda said unceremoniously that he wanted to drive away the Army people.

, "The guards at the crash site are handed over to the Marines I brought!"

Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Along the way, his own soldiers were clearing the way. Among the dozen or so people who died, ** were his subordinates. Why, I’m not needed now, so just follow him.

Like a dog, you hit me sideways?

Isn't this bullying? But look at the gold star on Major General Kuroda's collar badge. Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe, who was about to lose his temper, lost his temper and angrily yelled at his soldiers: "From now on, we will be on alert at 200 meters.

Don’t get involved if it’s nothing, let’s just leave the navy’s affairs alone!”

Major General Kuroda, who was staring at the wreckage of the transport plane, had no intention of paying attention to this little army lieutenant colonel, who was full of harsh words. His legs were shaking uncontrollably, and he walked closer to the wreckage of the transport plane, burning.

It was so powerful that it was almost invisible, but at a glance, he saw that in the hands of a charred corpse, a saber was still mostly intact.

Major General Kuroda's head suddenly heard a "boom!" Yes, that was Commander Yamamoto's most beloved "Gtsukiyama" saber. Although it had been burned by the fire, he could still recognize it at a glance. Just with this sword.

With the saber, it can be concluded that Commander Yamamoto has been killed, and the charred corpse is the remains of His Excellency the Commander!

Major General Kuroda's eyes were filled with uncontrollable tears. The two dozen junior officers who followed him also roughly guessed what happened, and they all took off their military hats to observe silence. After a few minutes, Kuroda

Major General Tian wiped away his tears and ordered in a low voice: "Place the remains of all the victims!"

The body of General Yamamoto was buried by Major General Kuroda himself. The "Tsukiyama" saber was carefully wrapped in white cloth by him, and then he returned along the long road. On the way back, he looked at

The Navy men with red and swollen eyes and droopy faces. Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe wondered in his heart, "Why are all these Navy guys so sad and sad? They don't explain what they are here for. This thing is so weird!"

A few hours later, Major General Kuroda's plane took off from Bougainville Airport and returned to Honiara.

Ten minutes later, Japanese Navy Minister Admiral Nagano Shuyama, who had been up almost all night at his residence, received a telegram from Combined Fleet Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Matsuda. "I am very saddened to report to you that I have confirmed that Commander Yamamoto's

The plane crashed into the pristine rainforest of Bougainville Island in the Northern Mariana Islands, and the commander was unfortunately killed!"

The brief message was like a bolt from the blue, hitting General Nagano on the head. He staggered and almost fell down. Yamamoto Isoroku died, and his death was inexplicable. There are many doubts. It was said that it was shot down by a China fighter jet, but

No Chinese fighter jets have ever appeared in the airspace in that area. All ground radar stations of the Army have found no trace of Chinese fighter jets. How can they say they were shot down?

The timing of Yamamoto Isoroku's death is also full of doubts. It happened to be the time when he was about to take up the post of Supreme Commander of the Imperial Australia battlefield. The biggest doubt is that Yamamoto's return to his homeland and the itinerary for an audience with the emperor should be classified as top secret, but so what?

What's going to happen?

If it was due to mechanical failure of the aircraft, Yamamoto's plane was forced to land, and an accident was possible. However, the telegram to himself stated that there were ten fighter jets escorting him. So, where are the ten escorting fighter jets now?

Gone?

Also, the Army Defense Command of the Northern Mariana Islands said that it had received a request for assistance from the deputy commander of the escort fighter jets. However, when the fighter jets were dispatched to the air combat airspace, nothing was found. It was assumed that it was China.

The ground-based fighter jets shot down by the fighter jets were not detected by the take-off land-based fighter jets or ground radar. Could it be that the Chinese fighter jets fell from the sky?

The death of Yamamoto Isoroku was full of doubts and clouds of suspicion. Everything seemed so abnormal. General Nagano thought that his head was about to burst and he couldn't figure it out. He was already doubting in his heart.

This is a trick on the part of the Army. It has only one purpose. The post of supreme commander of the Australian battlefield in the Empire. If Yamamoto dies, who will be the beneficiary? Of course it is the Army!

Suspicions are suspicions, but General Nagano has no evidence at all. He can only swallow this bitter pill and go to the palace to explain the matter to His Majesty the Emperor. Just half an hour ago, the palace had called to urge him.

Well, His Majesty the Emperor is already very unhappy. Why doesn’t General Yamamoto come to see him?

General Nagano could only pack away his worries and doubts, and rushed to the palace with a heavy heart. Sitting in the car, he felt sad for a while. Originally, the people sitting in this car were Yamamoto Isoroku and Kazuo.

There are two of them, and now, only one of them is left. A generation of famous generals in the Imperial Navy are about to leave. Who is worthy of the important task?

Admiral Nagano, almost choked with sobs, reported to His Majesty the Emperor the sad news that the Commander of the Combined Fleet, Admiral Yamamoto Goto, had died in the Northern Mariana Islands in the Western Pacific. Emperor Hirohito's face turned from livid to sallow, and finally pale.

, looking ahead blankly.

The blow was too huge. At this time, the empire concentrated most of its army forces and the entire combined naval fleet on the Australian battlefield, looking forward to the decisive battle with the forces of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli. The most ideal candidate for the commander had once created the North American battlefield for the empire.

The miraculous Isoroku Yamamoto suddenly fell. How could Emperor Hirohito, who had high hopes for Yamamoto, feel so embarrassed?

The death of Yamamoto left two important positions, namely commander of the Imperial Army's Australian Front and commander of the Combined Fleet, vacant. This had a huge impact on the Australian battlefield, where the war was imminent. How did Emperor Hirohito accept this bad news?

"Nagano Shuzo, I just want to know how Yamamoto Aiki died?" Emperor Hirohito's eyes shot out with a cold glare, and he asked word for word. In extreme disappointment and anger, he faced the majestic Imperial Navy.

Minister, the first person in the navy directly called out his name.

General Nagano murmured for a while, then said in an uncertain tone: "Your Majesty, according to the report from the Imperial Army's Northern Mariana Defense Command, Yamamoto Isoroku's plane was shot down by a China fighter jet!"

"Are you sure this is the reason why Yamamoto Aikyo was killed?" Emperor Hirohito's knife-like gaze pierced Nagano Shuzo's heart.

"Other than that, there is no more reasonable basis!" Nagano Shuzo could only reply.

The death of Yamamoto Isoroku is confusing and full of doubts. Although Nagano Shuzo is inclined to believe that it was done by someone from the Army. For the sake of his position as the commander of the Imperial Australian Field Army, any despicable plots and means, that old Koichi Yoneuchi

Guys are making it out.

But there is no evidence, no evidence at all. If we directly state to His Majesty the Emperor that it was someone from the Army who did it, then it will set off a bloody storm in the imperial world. The investigation will start from the Combined Fleet Headquarters.

Maybe people in the navy will be implicated in a big way, killing a thousand enemies and damaging themselves eight hundred. The price is too high.

Emperor Hirohito was silent. He, who had been in a high position for a long time, could certainly hear the hidden meaning in Nagano Shuzo's tone. This matter was too involved, and even he could not pursue it to the end. It might involve the army and navy.

The feud between the two families has always been entangled with many connections. Maybe if it is traced to the end, it will shake the foundation of the imperial world. Even the emperor, who monopolizes the power of the empire, is sometimes unable to do what he wants.

"Well, the most important thing at the moment is the Australian battlefield!" Emperor Hirohito sighed deeply in his heart and said: "Nagano Aiki, regarding the cause of Yamamoto Aiki's death, your navy must investigate closely. I want to know the truth, but we must not

Use this to attack your political opponents and frame them in a big way, otherwise, I will never give you mercy!"

Emperor Hirohito's words were in line with Nagano Shuzo's thoughts. He did not want to cause an uproar in the imperial world. A quiet and secret investigation was the safest way to deal with it. Once the person from the Army was found, Yamamoto Isoroku

So don't blame me, Nagano Shuzo, for going on a killing spree and even settling some old debts!

"Yes, I respectfully obey His Majesty's decree!" Nagano Shuzo bowed and replied.

"Huh!" Emperor Hirohito breathed out heavily, as if venting the depression in his chest, and said: "Nagano Aiki, in addition to investigating the cause of Yamamoto Ao's death, the top priority right now is who will take over as commander of the combined fleet.

position, I wonder if you have a suitable candidate in your mind?"

Nagano Shuzo did not answer Hirohito's words, but raised another question, "Your Majesty, who will take over the position of commander of the combined fleet is a big and important matter, but it is not an urgent matter and something that needs to be done immediately!"

"My consideration is that Yamamoto-kun's death will inevitably affect the morale of the navy and even the entire combined fleet. The current combined fleet is escorting the army troops transferred from the North American battlefield to Australia. There is no room for chaos, and there is also a burden.

The offensive mission of the China Independent Division in the Australian battlefield must not destabilize the morale of the military because of this!"

"Therefore, my minister's opinion is to temporarily block the news of General Yamamoto's death, including from the Army. The outside world can claim that General Yamamoto, the fifth general, needs to recuperate in the country for a period of time due to physical discomfort."

"As for the position of Commander of the Combined Fleet, he can be temporarily replaced by Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Matsuda Shinichi, and the mission remains unchanged. In this way, His Majesty and the base camp will also have a buffer time to leisurely select and examine candidates for the Commander of the Combined Fleet.
