Age of Conquest Reborn
Chapter 3122 hidden worries
Hitler's worries became a reality. The sudden outbreak of the Americans blocked Rommel's fierce two-front attack. The central battlefield was stalemate on Bismarck, Peel and Lincoln, and the southern battlefield was stalemate on Topeka, Jefferson City, Little Rock and
Montgomery City Line…
Rommel commanded the German Army to attack wildly for several days. More than nine million soldiers from both sides were killed on a battlefield that was nearly 10,000 kilometers long and several hundred deep and wide.
After paying heavy casualties, no progress was made at all. This was the first time since the beginning of the North American War that the German army suffered heavy casualties and its attack was blocked.
Hitler did not blame Rommel, the commander of the German Army in the North American battlefield. He admitted that he looked down upon the cripple Roosevelt, and also looked down upon the foundation and national strength of the United States. Now that the war is in a stalemate, the possibility of a quick German victory is further
Reduced.
This was a situation that Hitler did not want to see. If he wanted to break the deadlock on the North American battlefield, he could only send out more troops to carry out landing operations on the west coast of the United States and open up another battlefield. However, for sea-crossing landing operations, he wanted a powerful navy, and in the navy
In terms of military strength, it is precisely Germany's shortcomings, and the navy is a service that wants to build up foundation and accumulation. Even if Germany controls the entire European continent, establishing a naval force comparable to the Japanese naval combined fleet will not be achieved overnight.
What is ridiculous and weird is that such a Japanese navy, which the head of state himself envied, was killed by the weaker Chinese independent division fleet in the Banda Sea. Hitler found that he could not understand himself.
That old friend of China. This was one of the fundamental reasons why he canceled the dispatch of a squadron of the German Navy into the Pacific.
The long-term stalemate in the North American War was not in line with Hitler's wishes. He instinctively felt that ultimately annihilating the United States and Canada and conquering the entire North American continent would be difficult and long-distanced by relying solely on Germany. Or, even if Germany achieved victory
The final victory will also take several years.
The impatient head of state cannot afford to wait, so allies are needed to join the North American battlefield to help Germany.
Counting on his fingers, Germany has two allies. Among them, the Japanese were forced to run away. Now, they are still stuck in the Australian battlefield and have no time to take care of themselves. What's more, they don't want the Japanese to interfere with North American interests. Otherwise,
I wouldn't have tried so hard to force the Japanese away.
As for the other ally - Italy, Hitler was full of helplessness. This teammate did not expect him to help and thank God for not causing trouble. After all, the only one who could help Germany was his old friend Tang Qiuli.
The millions of elite troops under his command are a force that can fight hundreds of battles on the battlefield. They will definitely become the fatal weight that crushes the Americans and Canadians.
But he very much didn't want the Chinese to interfere in the interests of the North American continent. His old Chinese friend was not Japanese. If Tang Qiuli was not allowed to interfere in the North American war, Germany would have a very difficult time fighting it. Even if it won in the end, it would take a lot of effort.
The cost will also be huge, and the German army may be seriously injured, which may shake the foundation of Germany's dominance over the entire European continent.
In this regard, Hitler repeatedly weighed the pros and cons and was in a dilemma. He was very distressed and worried. The big bosses of the German party, government and military in the office saw His Excellency the Head of State in a daze, and no one dared to disturb him. They also knew in their hearts that His Excellency the Head of State was in a daze.
He was thinking about an extremely important issue, and this issue made it difficult for him to make a decision.
It took an unknown amount of time before Hitler woke up from his fuzzy state. Then, he solemnly said to Marshal Strance, Chief of the German General Staff: "Dear Strance, what are you doing?
In the name of the General Staff, I would like to urge the military industry department to deliver the batch of naval equipment purchased by my old Chinese friend as soon as possible, do you understand?"
Marshal Strongs really didn't understand. Previously, His Excellency the Head of State told himself very privately, "Regarding the batch of naval equipment purchased by the Chinese, the delivery time must be delayed as much as possible, preferably three to five years!" Why now?
Changed your mind again?
However, although Strongs was very confused, he knew that it would be absolutely stupid to ask His Excellency the Head of State "Why?" at this time, so he replied seriously: "Okay, my Head of State, I will be responsible for this."
It’s something!”
An ordinary meeting ended here. Several big bosses left one after another. Hitler himself was the only one left in the office. His thinking once again entered into thinking about how to resolve the stalemate on the North American battlefield...
.
At Chizuruha Military Airport in Tokyo, Japan, a large naval transport aircraft slowly stopped on the runway. Vice Admiral Hosaro Gokoro, Commander of the Japanese Navy's Fifth Fleet, and Mitsumi Shimizu, Commander of the Sixth Fleet, received the emergency recall order.
The lieutenant general rushed back to the mainland as quickly as possible. As soon as they got off the plane, the two of them were surprised to find that the person who came to pick them up was actually the second-largest boss of the Imperial Navy, General Yamazaki Binichi, the commander-in-chief of the Military Command Department.
General Yamazaki did not explain anything to his two frightened and uneasy subordinates, but he was very generous. They rode in the same car together, but he kept a straight face all the way, and his expression was as gloomy and depressing as before the storm.
The two Imperial Navy Vice Admirals were trembling in their hearts and their palms were sweating.
What's even more strange is that when the second-largest boss of the Navy travels, there is no escort vehicle. He looks low-key and mysterious. After getting out of the car, Admiral Yamazaki said nothing and directly drove the two dizzy people.
He was brought to the Imperial Naval General Hospital in Tokyo, the ward of Admiral Nagano Shuzan, the navy's top boss.
More than three hours later, Lieutenant General Xixuan Wuzilang and Lieutenant General Shimizu Mitsumi came out of the ward. Both of them looked pale, looked tired, their eyes were wandering, and their feet were shaking in the aisle. They were just like those who had just finished running a marathon.
Similar.
For more than three hours, Lieutenant General Xixuan and General Qingshui felt like three years had passed. Facing the two big bosses of the Imperial Navy's inquisitive and stern questioning, it was definitely not a pleasant experience for the two of them.
I even had to describe the content of my dream.
In the ward, General Nagano, who had basically recovered, looked at General Yamazaki and said, "Yamasaki-kun, we can't hide the matter of the combined fleet for a long time. Now, let's go to see His Majesty the Emperor immediately!"
Generals Nagano Shuzan and Yamazaki Bin were both important members of the base camp who were qualified to participate in the Emperor's Imperial Council. All they needed to do to meet Emperor Hirohito was to inform him. When the two of them walked into the familiar conference room, they were stunned.
, in the conference room, not only His Majesty the Emperor was present, but also Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff of the Base Camp Koichi Yoneuchi, Deputy Commander of the Base Camp Home Defense Command, Prince Kanin Miyazahito.
In addition, there are General Minamino Shushen, the former head of the Base Camp Strategic Planning Headquarters and currently the commander of the Empire's North American Operations Command, and more than a dozen senior generals in the Army system, all sitting at attention. Except for a few generals in the Army system,
Besides, the other generals looked at the two big guys from the Navy who came over, their eyes were like knives.
Surprisingly, Emperor Hirohito, whose face became increasingly pale, did not become furious as soon as he came up, shouting to fight or kill. Instead, with infinite pain, he asked General Nagano Osamu and Yamazaki Bin in a rare and gentle tone.
"Why?"
General Nagano and General Yamazaki exchanged glances quickly. On such an occasion, General Nagano is the best person to answer His Majesty the Emperor's question. Even though His Majesty the Emperor just said "Why?" But the content contained in it is too complicated, so his tone is soft now.
, maybe the next moment will be a violent storm of rage.
Admiral Nagano calmly began to retell the story, from why the combined fleet entered the Banda Sea, to the three days and three nights of bloody battles, to the commander, Admiral Nagumo Chuichi, the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro, and the acting chief of staff.
Rear Admiral Watanabe Tamaki, as well as the actions and reactions of the Imperial Australian Front during the three days and three nights when the Combined Fleet fought alone, etc., are listed one by one.
Admiral Nagano's tone was unhurried, his attitude was sincere, and his words were clear and coherent. There was no blame or blame at all, and he did not involve other parties, especially blaming the Australian Army. He seemed to be stating a fact and restoring the combined fleet's actions this time.
What happened in the Banda Sea and the truth behind the incident where the entire army was almost annihilated.
At the end, General Nagano looked so sad that his cheeks trembled, and said: "Your Majesty, this is all my fault. As the Minister of the Navy, I really have an unshirkable responsibility. Please punish me severely, otherwise it will be difficult to comfort me."
The heroic souls of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Imperial Navy!”
After Admiral Nagano Osamu's performance was over, it was Admiral Yamazaki Binichi's turn to appear. He did not have Admiral Nagano's ability to talk like a lotus, but his words were filled with sadness and sincerity, "Your Majesty, as the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Navy Command Department
, is mainly responsible for commanding operations. The defeat of the combined fleet in the Banda Sea has nothing to do with Nagano-kun. It is all the responsibility of one of my subordinates. Please allow me to commit suicide by caesarean section to apologize!"
The two big bosses of the Navy are competing to take responsibility. Normally, it would be very touching. However, General Mitsushita Yoneuchi, the Minister of War and Chief of General Staff of the base camp, who has been waiting to see what happens, feels chills running down his spine and breaking into cold sweats.
, secretly cursing the two cunning bastards.
Nagano Osamu's statement seems to have no personal bias at all, but the most fatal thing is the reaction of the Australian Front Sulu Sea Ito Genzaburo during the three days and three nights of the bloody battle of the Combined Fleet in the Banda Sea.
, Abnormal!
Nagano and Yamazaki arrived late and did not see His Majesty the Emperor's angry face and ferocious expression just ten minutes ago.
He asked General Minai with a fierce look, "My dear Minai, my combined fleet fought bloody battles with the damned Chinese devil Tang Qiuli's troops in the Banda Sea for three days and three nights. What were the Australian front forces doing? Australia is so far away from Banda.
Is the sea far away?"
