Age of Conquest Reborn

"Oh...?" Emperor Hirohito's eyes glanced over. The weight of Yonei Koichi was unmatched by Yao Gaoyao, but he did not express his position immediately. He just pondered, still hesitating in his heart, just worried about Ito.

Yan Sanlang was once defeated by the Chinese demon Tang Qiuli. I'm afraid there will be shadows in his heart?

Koichi Mineuchi has such a vicious vision. He can best understand the thoughts of Emperor Hirohito. Otherwise, he would not be able to remain in favor for many years. He could stand proudly on the throne of the first man in the Imperial Army, lead the army generals, call the wind and rain, and influence the situation of the war. He probably knows this.

Why is His Majesty the Emperor hesitant?

"Your Majesty!" Miuchi Yoneuchi bowed deeply again and said calmly: "The reason why I agree with Yatsuo-kun is nothing more than the following points. First of all, Ito Genzaburo is one of the generals who always leads troops in the Imperial Army. In addition to

Apart from serving as the Undersecretary of Military Affairs at the base camp, he has never left the battlefield!"

"Secondly, Ito Genzaburo had outstanding military exploits when he commanded the Empire's offensive army in Australia. He swept through the Allied forces and secured a huge piece of Australian land for the Empire. This is the only reason why he is listed as the most suitable candidate!"

"Ito Genzaburo has fought with the Allied forces in Australia for many years. He is familiar with the local geography, people, natural conditions, and commanding troops in operations. Naturally, there is no sense of strangeness. Furthermore, most of the current Imperial Australian Front troops were his troops when they invaded Australia.

Veteran troops of the army are more familiar with the characteristics of commanders at all levels, making it easier to command!"

"As for the past years, when I was defeated at the hands of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli in the Southern China Continent, it has been many years. I am afraid that Ito Yanzaburo also benefited a lot from any battle, and he will not be able to avenge his shame.

Negative? Learn from the pain. Learn a lesson, understand your shame and then be brave. You should be brave and unstoppable. The above points are the reasons why I agree with Yatsuo-kun’s recommendation!"

Koichi Mineuchi is definitely a master at figuring out the emperor's thoughts. These words really spoke to Emperor Hirohito's heart and relieved his worries. This is one of the secrets of Koichi Mineuchi's ability to remain in favor for many years.

The head of the army has spoken, and the other generals will naturally not come forward to fight or sing the opposite. So, there was a chorus of agreement, except for Prince Zai Ren, whose eyes flickered. No one knew what he was thinking about?

"Well, since Aiyou Minai and all the Aiyous have unanimously recommended Ito Genzaburo to be the commander of the Imperial Australian Front, then I will accept it!" Emperor Hirohito said calmly, and he was still satisfied, especially

Miuchi's words dispelled his worries.

However, some words still need to be said. Emperor Hirohito continued: "Let the general staff of the base camp issue the order. I will not issue imperial orders for the time being. After Ito Aikyō has made new achievements in the Australian battlefield, I will make a grand meeting.

Plus a reward!”

Hirohito kept a cautious mind and kept a low profile for now. Don't make any noise. The whole world knows that Ito Yanzaburo is about to face off against Tang Qiuli, the Chinese devil who has defeated many famous generals in the empire. The outcome is hard to say. If anything happens,

If he suffered a defeat, he would be the one who was embarrassed. Of course, in his heart, Hirohito never wanted Ito Yanzaburo to lose the battle, but he had to be mentally prepared for this.

The candidate for the head coach of the more than two million Japanese troops in the Australian battlefield was thus determined. Next, various departments in the base camp began to make pre-war preparations for this unprecedented war that staked the future and destiny of the empire.

Including Koichi Yonai, no one knows what kind of equipment supply plan Yamamoto Isoroku had before his death. If they knew, they would not think that a decisive battle with the independent division troops on the Australian battlefield would be a pressure.

It’s not a big deal. If Yamamoto Isoroku hadn’t died and he had equipped Japanese Australian troops and independent division troops as planned, the battle would have been much more difficult, and the casualties of the troops would have been astonishing!

Emperor Hirohito convened a military meeting in the palace to determine the candidate for the Japanese commander of the Australian battlefield. At the residence of Navy Minister Nagano Shuzo, all the bigwigs of the Japanese navy were also gathered. The theme of the discussion was to determine the naval alliance.

Selection of fleet commander.

Before the meeting began, Nagano Shuzo did not conceal the sad news that Yamamoto Isoroku had died for his country from the navy generals. This shocking news really made the generals' heads go blank. Who was Yamamoto Isoroku?

The soul of the Imperial Navy, a symbol of invincibility, commanded the combined fleet to sweep across the Pacific, shattering the U.S. Navy into pieces and completely daring not to leave the West Coast.

Why did such a character suddenly die for his country? The generals' topic immediately focused on one point, that is, "How did General Yamamoto break into pieces?"

According to their habitual thinking, the navy bosses who attended the meeting at the official residence immediately thought that this was the work of those bastards from the Army. The reason is very simple. Yamamoto Tamaki, who is the beneficiary, is of course the Army.

The position of Commander of the Imperial Australian Front is so valuable that the Army can do such a thing that is outrageous to both humans and gods!

As a result, the atmosphere of the meeting changed. Several big bosses from the Navy, foaming at the mouth and with bloodshot eyes, clamored to go to the palace to see His Majesty the Emperor, expose the Army's conspiracy, and severely punish the murderer and the mastermind behind the scenes.

, As for the interception of China fighter jets, it was purely a smoke screen put up by the Army. There has never been a trace of China fighter jets in the airspace of the Northern Mariana Islands!

Seeing that several of the big guys had lost their minds, General Nagano Shuzo slammed the table with a bang, his face darkened, and he said sternly: "Evidence? What evidence do we have that proves that Yamamoto-kun's death was caused by someone from the Army group?"

?If I have evidence in hand, I will never remain silent when I meet His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Everyone calm down. The top priority now is to determine the candidate for the commander of the Combined Fleet. The Combined Fleet is the foundation of the Navy and cannot be lost. In addition, regarding the death of Yamamoto-kun, the Navy must form a secret investigation team to investigate to the end.

To uncover the truth, if it is really proved that it was the Army and others who did it, I will not hesitate even if it stains Tokyo with blood!"

The leader spoke, and several navy bosses who were angry just now also calmed down. Yes, if you rashly go to see His Majesty the Emperor without any evidence in your hand, you might even get bitten by people from the Army.

!

The topic returned to its original track. For the candidate of the commander of the Combined Fleet, several big guys each recommended three people. One was Lieutenant General Matsuda Jiro, who is currently the chief of staff of the Combined Fleet, and the other was the commander of the China Fleet and is currently the Navy.

Lieutenant General Koga Mineichi, commander of the Yokosuka Fort.

The last one is Lieutenant General Chuichi Nagumo, who once served as the commander of the Imperial Navy Task Force. After a battle with the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet in the Midway Islands in the Eastern Pacific, he was dismissed and stayed at home for several years.

The three candidates each have their own advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of Lieutenant General Matsuda Jiro is that he has been the chief of staff of the unfortunate Admiral Yamamoto for many years. He is very familiar with and understands Admiral Yamamoto's ideas and habits, and can uphold the excellent qualities of the Combined Fleet.

The traditional disadvantage is that he has always been a staff officer and has never commanded a fleet alone. In addition, his prestige and qualifications within the navy are insufficient.

Lieutenant General Koga Mineichi, who is currently the commander of the Yokosuka Defense Force, can be called an old man of the Imperial Navy. He had the experience of commanding the Imperial Navy fleet alone before, but that was many years ago. Since then, he has been serving as a naval base.

As a commander, I have been away from front-line command for many years, so I am afraid that I am very skilled.

Among these three people, the most complicated one is Lieutenant General Nagumo Chuichi who is idle at home. This guy's qualifications within the navy are similar to those of Yamamoto Isoroku. He has the qualifications and experience to command a naval task force alone. If

Without the Battle of Midway and the defeat of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet, Nagumo Chuichi's reputation and status within the Imperial Navy would not necessarily be much lower than Yamamoto Isoroku's.

It is even very possible that he is one of the good contenders for the commander of the combined fleet. This person is obviously much better than Matsuda Jiro and Koga Mineichi in terms of ability and experience in commanding fleet operations. In addition, he is mature, prudent, and calm-minded.

He has a rigorous mind and is a suitable candidate to be the commander of the combined fleet.

However, his several years of layoffs are also obvious shortcomings. Speaking of which, Nagumo Chuichi was left out, but he caused an uproar within the Imperial Navy back then. There were many generals who lost a battle in the Imperial Navy. There were many generals on the battlefield.

There are generals who are always victorious, so it was very sudden that Chuichi Nagumo was dismissed from his post while he was still leading the task force on his way back to China.

Several navy bosses present felt like they were in the mirror. Admiral Nagano Shuzo was the main driving force behind the way Nagumo Chuichi was dealt with. They also couldn't understand why Major General Nagano and Nagumo Chuichi were so unresponsive.

?

Facing the candidates for the three combined fleet commanders, Nagano Shuzo was also quite hesitant. He preferred Matsuda Jiro, the current chief of staff of the combined fleet, to succeed Yamamoto Isoroku. The reason was very simple. He was easy to control, but Matsuda Jiro's qualifications

and prestige are obstacles that cannot be bypassed. Although he is the number one in the navy, he cannot help but care about the views and opinions of other big bosses. There are many small factions in the Imperial Navy, each with their own interests, and he cannot cover the sky with one hand.

Be arbitrary.

As for Koga Hoichi, I have no impression of him. A general who has been the commander of a naval base for a long time has actually lost the qualification to command the combined fleet. What's more, Koga Hoichi's qualifications are not shallow. Once he becomes the commander of the combined fleet,

Commander, can he be like Yamamoto before, and have a clear understanding of himself, like an arm in arm, and a tacit understanding, so that the two people's ideas and concepts are highly consistent?

Admiral Nagano, the person who least wants to be the commander of the combined fleet is Nagumo Chuichi. This old guy is stubborn, rigid-minded, stubborn, and has a bad temper. Within the Navy, except for Yamamoto Isoroku

In addition to my sincere admiration, I don’t think much of other big guys, including myself!
