Battle of the Third Reich

"Passing, anyway, the Japanese said so, and now they can only believe them." Captain Horst Young pulled the zipper of the jumpsuit tightly, and a ground crew helped him put on his umbrella bag.

"I'm not kidding, what if [Shozben]'s fighter attacked us." The sergeant Drewman skillfully put the pk pistol out of his mouth and closed the insurance, smoothly stuffed it into the armpit holster of the flight suit .

"[Little Japan], Sergeant, it should be [Little Japan], pay attention to my mouth." Captain Yang will speak fluent Mandarin.

"Forget it, Captain, I tried. I won't come back. I don't know where I learned this accent." Lieutenant Dirksen put on his flying helmet and fastened his jaw strap.

"Listen, our task is to monitor, only a fifty-kilogram bomb is hung in the magazine." Dirksen helped Drumman check the buckle of the umbrella.

"All the systems have been checked and the fuel tank is full." An Air Force sergeant handed over a tablet with a stack of forms on it.

"What about the auxiliary fuel tank in the cabin?" Dexter glanced at the inspection table.

"All filled, Mr. Captain." The sergeant reported.

"Thank you." Dexter signed his name on the signature bar, and then returned the writing board to the sergeant.

The captain of the air force began to orbit the plane, making the final inspection before the flight.

"Please help me, Captain." Drumman handed a thermos to Horst Young.

"What's inside?" Yang unscrewed the stopper and sniffed his nose.

"It's iced lemonade with some mint and it's very refreshing." Drumman climbed up the ramp at the bottom of the cabin.

"Hand me the bottle, Captain." The Air Force sergeant reached out to Yang.

"It's a really interesting taste, sergeant." Yang smiled and handed the aluminum water bottle to the sergeant.

"Very refreshing, trust me." To prove that he was telling the truth, the sergeant nodded his head hard.

"Dalat base dispatched twelve b109 fighter jets, Saigon base dispatched eight .520 and thirty-two .s.406, and Cameron base took off two German ju88 bombers." A French Air Force major held his head high. Reported aloud to Admiral Jean Degu, the Governor of France and India.

"Thank you, Major Bouvier, you can go out." Jean Degu stood at the map table with his hands on his back, watching the huge map of South Asia on the table.

"It's all calculated, and I can feel that it's a clumsy trick." Jean DeGuo turned his head to look at Colonel Eugene von Davidson standing at the end of the map table.

"We can't give evidence to refute them. The Japanese really counted them, and they have always had a very close connection with Siam." Colonel Davidson said with his arms.

"Hasn't Berlin responded yet?"

"You have read the note that Marshal Blumberg wrote to you."

"I see, thank you, Colonel Davidson." Jean Degu pointed his head slightly at Davidson.

"Then I'll say goodbye, Excellency Governor. Hey! Reinhardt!" Davidson's boots bumped and raised his right arm to salute the Governor.

"The telegram of your Excellency Governor, sir." The communications officer took off the headset and handed the deciphered message to the captain on duty.

"Send it to the bridge immediately and give it to your commander." The captain read the message, folded the newspaper, and gave it to the messenger standing by.

"Follow the orders, Mr. Captain." The herald soldier saluted a military salute and ran away towards the hatch.

"Forty-five thousand kilometers, it has entered the theoretical range."

"The Mistral reported that six Japanese hasuha** (early spring) class destroyers were found in the northwest."

"The formation of the destroyer fleet is completed."

"Jean de Vienne sent a signal that the fault has been eliminated and asked for the next order."

At this time, there was a noisy report in the Dunkirk nautical bridge, and various new information kept coming here.

"Telegram of the Governor's Mansion, Commander." The subordinate soldier rushed breathlessly into the bridge and ran to the Commander to stand and salute.

"Thank God." Rear Admiral Kolini took the telegram with delight, but when he read the content, the fleet commander frowned.

"Haunting the Japanese? What on earth do you mean?" Colonel Armand received the telegram from the commander's hand, the contents of which made him arrogant and wise.

"It literally means, Armand, I understand General Jean Degu, and his commands have always been concise and clear." Kolini stood up from the podium and took the telescope from the staff.

"The firing command post reported that the Japanese fleet began to turn." A fleet staff member reported loudly with a telephone receiver.

"Really?" Kolini stopped and lifted the telescope in his hand.

"I think I understand the meaning of His Excellency Governor now." Colonel Armand walked to Collini and said, "They are actually worried about clashes with us, those cunning Japanese."

"Yes, Falman, seeing through this, then no matter how powerful the fleet is, it's something to scare people. Order the fleet to turn and we post it."

"It was seen by the French in a flash, which is really embarrassing." Takasu Shiro shook his head bitterly with news that the French had adjusted their course and accelerated towards the team.

"Your Excellency, the Japanese Navy can't bow your head to any challenge." Naval Lieutenant Tian Sakao, the chief of staff of the envoy, said aloud.

"You understand the command of the headquarters, and you should know what the purpose of our operation is. Lieutenant, a qualified naval soldier needs courage when he has the courage. I have already proposed that I should not play this side-door. Trick, since you want to use soldiers, you have to be upright, just like these Chinese people now." Takasu Shiro went to the chart table.

"Keep the original route? Your Excellency." A staff member approached and asked.

"Well, since it was seen through, then there is no way. Obediently admit I will not, I believe you all will not agree. Yaxi, such a good opportunity not to be missed. Order the second deportation team and the twentieth The destroyer team aimed at the main fleet of the Gu Kingdom and conducted simulated lightning strike training. The sixth team followed the team and formed a No. 1 artillery formation, targeting the French warships for shooting and aiming exercises." Takasu ordered to stand upright.

"Ha! Your commander!"

"Understood! Your Excellency Commander!" The staff members responded loudly with excitement and saluted the commander.

"Specially note that this is a drill, and live ammunition is not allowed." Gao Xu cautioned seriously.

"Ha! No live ammunition is allowed, Your Commander." The staff bowed respectfully and agreed.

The Japanese envoy explained to Jean Degu at the time that some ships of the combined fleet will pass the French Indochina coast to the Bangkok port of Siam. In order to avoid misunderstandings between the two sides, they came to France to inform them.

Everyone can see that this is just an excuse. The Japanese dispatched a fleet at this time, apparently preparing to intervene in the Franco-Siam war.

Japanese psychology is very contradictory, both want to show the muscles to the French, but also worried that the Western powers will be fooled by misunderstanding. Although Japan has a strong military strength in Southeast Asia, neither the military's top ranks nor the domestic society have yet to be prepared for a complete break with the West.

However, Japan cannot sit back and watch Siam defeated by France. Siam has a very important strategic position in the Japanese military’s plan. The Japanese Army and Navy have rarely cooperated. They have participated in almost all the behind-the-scenes planning work of the Franco-Siam War. Whether it is the bombing of the Air Force fleet or the deployment of the joint fleet, everything has been written on the Tokyo timetable.

The Japanese Navy expects that after the outbreak of war, France will definitely attack the Siamese Navy. In the face of the powerful Far East Navy, the Siamese Navy has no power to fight back. The mission of the Takasu fleet is to contain the French colonial fleet and intervene for Japan. War mediation creates the necessary conditions, and at the same time, it can win some opportunities for the Siamese side.

But Tokyo is also worried that this apparently deflecting behavior will anger the French Indochina Governor and even the God Apostle sitting in Berlin, which Tokyo does not want to see anyway. Therefore, choosing a commander who knows how to control the position has become the primary issue in this plan, and Lieutenant General Takasu Shiro, because of his performance outside Haiphong Port, has become the best candidate for the mission in the eyes of the senior navy.
