Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

As the Kwantung Army was defeated in the Battle of Nomenhan, and the North China Front Army was pinned to the ground and beaten by the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, the Army Red Deers had completely given up their plan to go north.

For the little devils, the Guandong Territory of our younger brother country is an important occupied area that has been built at a huge cost, with fertile land and a solid industrial system.

That is the top priority at this stage. Even if the mainland is landed, the Northeast will not be exposed to danger.

After careful consideration, in order to seize more resources to maintain the consumption of the war, the Japanese base camp had no choice but to choose the southward plan.

When they reached out to French Indochina, the two brothers Dai Ying and A Chou immediately became furious.

Master Luo even bluntly ordered a halt to the trading of strategic materials such as oil and scrap steel, and implemented a comprehensive embargo on Xiaoli.

As we all know, poor militarists will gamble on the fate of the country at every turn.

To ensure that important supplies such as oil and rubber are transported back to the country, the round-trip routes must be kept open.

This means that Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines are all indispensable, and they must be firmly in their own hands, otherwise Daiying and Achou will make a fuss on the way.

Instead of letting others strangle one's neck, the Glory United Fleet of the younger brother's country turned into a group of immovable scraps of metal.

It is better to have a real fight with the so-called great powers while there is still some oil inventory.

In the past, whether it was against Oiqing or Tsarist Russia, the weak defeated the strong. Who said that the men of the Showa era in the new era were not bloody! As long as A Chou's Pacific Fleet can be severely damaged in one wave, it can provide unlimited advantages for the southward advance.

The plan goes through!

Running thousands of miles! The advantage is mine!

······

At 26 degrees 1' north latitude and 157 degrees 1' west longitude, the Japanese assault formation Akagi aircraft carrier.

"Vice Admiral Nagumo, the current position of the fleet is less than 300 kilometers away from the scheduled starting point of the attack. You are worthy of being a navigation expert that my country once encountered in a thousand years. You can indeed lead everyone to create miracles!"

The courtesy of the captain of the Akagi made Nagumo Chuichi nod with satisfaction.

From the main island of Japan to Pearl Harbor, the simplest route with the least natural risk is to go all the way east. However, there are merchant ships coming and going on this route all year round, and it is easy to expose one's whereabouts.

In order to move forward silently and avoid the enemy's sight.

This assault formation chose to travel north, passing through the high-latitude waters with high winds and waves, first arriving due north of Pearl Harbor, and finally heading south directly to launch the attack.

You can't just have patrolling fleets and merchant ships in Siberia and Alaska where nothing matters.

In the era without satellite navigation, leaving a known waterway was a very dangerous thing, not to mention the DEBUFF of radio silence and light control.

But Nagumo's navigation ability can be called a humanoid locator, and he brought the fleet to the predetermined area with just a sextant.

Coupled with Benzi's unique offshore refueling technology, this laid the foundation for a thousand-mile attack.

"Mr. Hase is overly praised. All I can use now is my navigation skills. In aircraft carrier operations, I am really not as good as Lieutenant General Tsukawara. What a pity."

What I said just now is really not the modesty of an old devil. As one of the core representatives of the Fleet Faction, Nagumo has always advocated using battleships as the main force and aircraft carriers as auxiliary.

I'm really not familiar with the aviation field.

As for the Tsukahara 243 he mentioned, this person had served on Fengxiang and Akagi and had a lot of experience in commanding aircraft carrier fleets.

It's a pity, this lieutenant general is really lucky.

During the war in the Republic of China, he was injured by the Fruit Preserved Air Force and the China Aid Flying Team in their heyday. He was left with a lifelong disability and was deemed unable to continue sailing at sea and carry out fleet work.

Otherwise, the other party would be the most suitable commander in Yamamoto's mind.

While the two were chatting, an inappropriate sound suddenly came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, Lieutenant General, thank you for sending the fleet to the predetermined area, and congratulations on successfully completing the task assigned by your superiors. Leave the next actions to us."

"If there is any emergency, we will definitely ask you for instructions as soon as possible."

The two Japanese staff officers who suddenly broke into the command room and sang along were none other than Ryunosuke Kusaka and Minoru Genda.

At the current point in time, the two of them together are definitely the most reliable combination in the field of naval aviation in Japan.

Hearing the meaningful compliment from his subordinate, Nagumo Chuichi glanced at his mouth nonchalantly, as if he didn't hear the power-grabbing intention in the other person's words.

After a while, the old devil picked up the black tea cup and walked silently to the glass, looking at the other five aircraft carriers in the distance.

"The mountains, rivers, and trees have turned desolate, and the ten-mile-long wind has created a new battlefield. The carriages have stopped, and people are silent. The setting sun stands outside Jinzhou City. Good, good, good, and a good climb to a new mountain."

"Kusashik-kun, Genda-kun, I hope you can perform well and not let down the trust of His Majesty Tenchu ​​and Admiral Yamamoto."

"I myself will honestly be the last line of insurance for the fleet. As long as you don't make any drastic decisions on the spur of the moment, I will never forcefully intervene."

The poem Nayun just read out with a slightly mocking tone was a coded message arranged by the Navy Headquarters in advance.

When it is broadcast by the Broadcasting Association, it means that all diplomatic methods have failed to work, and the war against the ugly country has become a foregone conclusion.

Climbing the new mountain 1208 represents the entire task force, which will launch a raid on Pearl Harbor on December 8, Tokyo time.

As for why Nayun's tone was so unkind.

The reason is very simple, because in this operation, he was only the top frontline commander on the surface, but Yamaguchi Tawen had already usurped the power behind his back. This is a seven-by-eight arrangement made by Commander Yamamoto of the Combined Fleet, and a mere lieutenant general cannot resist at all.

Logically speaking, in the strict hierarchy of the Benzi Navy, it is absolutely impossible for juniors to ride on their seniors.

Positions such as the Supreme Commander of the Fleet are generally assigned based on the year of graduation from the Etajima Naval Academy and the unique hammock number system.

However, Nan Yun did not completely agree with the strategic plan of raiding Pearl Harbor from beginning to end. When the Navy held an internal meeting to discuss it, he was the one who voiced the most opposition.

Because in the old devil's view, the plan goes too far into the waters controlled by the Ugly Kingdom, and if you are not careful, most of the United Alliance will be ruined.

Moreover, the main battlefield of the southward advance plan is in Southeast Asia, and dispatching six aircraft carriers to attack thousands of miles is somewhat indiscriminate.

In addition, the locusts in their own house were pressing hard, and they expressed strong dissatisfaction at the imperial meeting more than once. Therefore, Yamamoto Qixianba was forced to give up his relatively conservative plan and decided to spend most of his wealth on an unprecedented gamble.

Under the above premise, Nagumo Chuichi, who has a relatively cautious personality, is not suitable as the frontline commander.

Yamaguchi Dawen, who is younger, more energetic and daring to fight, and has rich experience in commanding aviation forces, is more suitable for the requirements.

With the authorization from the nominal commander, Ryunosuke Kusaka and Minoru Genda looked at each other, and both saw eagerness to try in the other's eyes.

"Lieutenant Admiral Nagumo, according to the situation, there are currently three aircraft carriers, seven cruisers, nine battleships and seventeen destroyers in Pearl Harbor."

"In Major General Yamaguchi's plan, the first wave of attacks will start at 6:20 tomorrow morning."

"We currently have a total of eighty special torpedoes in stock. The armor-piercing aerial bombs modified from the Nagato's main gun are enough to blow up most of the ships and oil depots in the harbor."

The torpedo during World War II was a weapon that was difficult to research and had a small scope of application.

Due to its thankless nature, most maritime countries will not deliberately unlock it. Since then, legends of kinetic yams and iron rod mines have often circulated in major naval battles.

Of course, there are no exceptions.

As a country surrounded by sea, Benzi conducted research and development regardless of costs before the war, bringing its country's torpedo technology to the forefront of the world.

In the original timeline, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries only started preparing special torpedoes in September 1941, and only produced twenty-eight before departure.

Even though the workers of Nan Yunzhong's company packed up the tools and took them away in one go, they could barely collect forty pills before the raid began.

But the situation is different now. The strong rise of the Eighth Route Army makes Yamamoto feel unwilling to do so. Knowing that there would be a battle between Japan and Chou, he made arrangements in advance for the attack on Pearl Harbor.

It was precisely because of the old Japanese's precautions that the assault fleet had relatively sufficient ammunition.

"Okay, I understand. The first wave of attacks will be according to Yamaguchi's arrangements. I hope you reckless guys won't cause any trouble."

"Before the operation begins, you two should accompany me to the deck. Nominally speaking, I am the supreme commander of this operation."

When Nagumo Chuichi said the above words, his whole person had obvious mood swings. Especially when it comes to Yamaguchi Dawen, his face is so dark and scary.

There is no way, this is not the first time that the opponent has defeated the opponent.

At the Etajima Naval Academy back then, the old Japanese had a classic big brother image, and Corporal Morishita was a good boy compared to him.

On weekdays, this guy would go to the lower grades to give lectures, use the spirit-injecting stick to influence the new students, and would often ask the younger students to buy him wine.

Such good days became a thing of the past after meeting Tietouwa.

Yamaguchi Dawen, who had just entered school, was picked on by Nagumo and started a series of hand-to-hand fights, teaching his big brother a clear lesson.

With all the old and new grudges added together, how could the Bullet Changer not be angry?

······

A few hours later, the sun rose as usual, and all members of the first wave of attacking formations gathered on the deck.

Looking at the spirited HNA elite pilots wearing white headscarves, Nan Yunzhong shouted loudly with a cup of wine: "The country of locust will rise and fall! This is the battle! All soldiers in the army! Do their duty! Let's go!" (End of chapter)
