Chapter 668: Five Minutes of Destiny

Closing at noon, an hour of eating and resting.

"The ramen at this ramen restaurant tastes good. And because it is adjacent to Cathay Securities, there are many people who eat, and in the years when the stock market was hot, the business here was also extremely hot. You may not know that in those days, if you wanted to eat a bowl of ramen here, you might have to squat at the door to eat it. ”

Wu Zhilin pointed to the door of the ramen restaurant and told Li Yan about the prosperity of this place back then.

Sitting between the dining tables, Li Yan looked around the restaurant.

The desertion at this time makes it impossible to imagine the prosperity of this place back then. Dozens of tables are just sparsely packed with seven or eight guests at meal time.

Wu Zhilin sat on Li Yan's left side, and Bi Peilin sat on Li Yan's right side. The two women sat on the left and right, deliberately, and deliberately avoided Wang Qihua, Wang Qiling, brothers, Yang Muye, Wu Hao and others.

"Although the current market environment is much worse than before, it shouldn't be so bad......, right? Person...... What about it?" Li Yan tilted his head curiously and whispered to Wu Zhilin.

"Now we trade at home on a computer or on a mobile phone. The number of customers trading on the spot has naturally decreased sharply, and this is still the place where the ups and downs of Cathay Pacific on Zhichun Road will meet, if the ordinary brokerage ...... I guess you can't even see a person. The supporting facilities that the table relied on for survival naturally followed......" Saying this, Wu Zhilin shrugged his shoulders and smiled at Li Yan. I didn't go on......

Wu Hao's face was cold, and he didn't seem to be listening to what Wu Zhilin said at all.

The two brothers, Wang Qihua and Wang Qiling, muttered something in a low voice, and their faces were gloomy when they could see it.

Yang Muye was playing with his silver dollars in his hand, and it seemed that as long as Li Yan spoke, he was going to turn on the magic stick mode. As for whether it is a true immortal or a true god, it naturally depends on whether you believe it or not.

Li Yan tilted his head and subconsciously glanced at Bi Peilin, and saw her holding her mobile phone and looking down at the black and white photos. Li Yan was a little curious, glanced sideways at Bi Peilin and asked, "What are you looking at...... Airplanes?"

The photo shows a World War II aircraft of Miti with a vast ocean in the background. Li Yan didn't know why Wu Zhilin would flip through this kind of photo, so he was curious for a while, so he asked.

"Well, this is the Mid-Way SBD bomber, which was captured when it was attacking a Japanese aircraft carrier. Bi Peilin raised her mobile phone and glanced at Li Yan, and slowly explained.

Li Yanleng paused, not knowing why Bi Peilin suddenly looked at this photo.

Then, after gently swiping the screen with her slender white onion fingers, Bi Peilin showed Li Yan a photo of the US military's SBD bomber diving and dropping bombs.

Li Yan looked at this photo a little dumbfounded, the plane dived at a forty-five degree angle in the photo, and the bomb had fallen to the bottom of the photo.

It seems to be a relatively old airplane now, but at that time, people seemed to have a sense of technology and full of force.

Biperin swiped the phone again and introduced to the photo in the phone: "How about this photo?"

In the photo, planes are densely packed on the deck, and the propellers have been turned, as if they are ready to rush into the blue sky at any time......

"You know what? I've always liked this photo ......," Bi Peilin muttered to Li Yan with a smile.

"Why?" Li Yan subconsciously asked, while Bi Peilin just smiled slightly and didn't say why.

"Ramen is coming, ramen is coming......"

Two waiters, one with ramen and one with skewers, came to the table almost front and back to serve the food.

"Look at this photo, this is a Japanese attack plane flying at an ultra-low altitude close to the sea, obviously very demanding of pilots, only in the early days of World War II can you see such a scene. ”

Bi Peilin showed Li Yan a photo.

The dense black fog on it is the traces of the explosion of the prevention and control artillery fire at a glance. Rack planeLi Yan couldn't tell what kind of plane it was, but since it was flying close to the sea, there were torpedoes hanging underneath, and he could guess that it was an attack plane without thinking about it. It's just that the model is Jiuqi or Tianshan Li Yan really can't tell.

"Look at these...... "Li Yan didn't understand why Bi Peilin was looking at this, and these photos were supposed to be from the same naval battle.

This is a photograph of the Battle of Midway in early June 1942, when the Mittis sank four Japanese aircraft carriers in one fell swoop, completely reversing the passive situation in the Pacific theater. Bi Peilin shook the phone in her hand and smiled slightly.

Wu Zhilin, who was sitting on the side, frowned, and said a little strangely: "Many sources on the Japanese side believe that this fiasco was due to bad luck, and Mi Di's plane happened to launch an attack at the juncture of the refueling and refueling of the Japanese aircraft carrier-based aircraft, as long as the Japanese fighters take off, this battle will not be lost!"

Li Yan was just about to speak, but Bi Peilin responded with a faint smile on her face, but her words were mixed with disdain: "Is this really the case? Five minutes of fate is just a fig leaf!"

Wu Zhilin frowned, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Bi Peilin say: "For the Battle of Midway, many sources, especially those on the Japanese side, blame the fiasco of the Japanese army on the "Five Minutes of Fate". That is to say, when the dreadnought dive bombers of the US army attacked the Japanese aircraft carriers, the Japanese aircraft carriers were refueling and reloading the planes of the second attack wave. If in another five minutes, Japan will be able to complete all the preparations and take off!"

Li Yan grinned and asked: "Does it mean that if Japan had gone to the sky, the attack of the US military planes would not have been so deadly at that time, and the outcome of the victory or defeat would have been very likely to change?"

Biperin nodded emphatically and said aloud: "I have done many wargames at home, and if all the planes take off, the result will inevitably change. I won overwhelmingly at the lowest cost. ”

"Wargame deduction?" Yang Muye subconsciously paused beside him, and then muttered in a low voice: "The eldest lady is really high-end." ”

Wu Zhilin smiled and sneered at Bi Peilin: "That's just your own wishful thinking." Have you taken into account the most important factor? The Japanese army's code is in the hands of Mi Di, and everyone knows all your orders. ”

Bi Peilin paused, and then listened to Wu Zhilin say: "Although I am not a military enthusiast, I am not a study of the history of World War II. But I also studied history and read a lot of related historical content. For example, at 8:55 a.m., Nagumo Tadaichi, commander of the Japanese First Air Fleet, ordered the planes of the second attack wave, which had been on deck preparing to take off, to return to the hangar, unload the bombs, and replace them with torpedoes from attacking warships. ”

Li Yan was stunned when he heard this, and sighed in his heart that he went to a fake university or was he a fake student?

Wu Zhilin continued: "Under normal circumstances, how long does it take to send the plane on the deck back to the hangar, unload the bombs, replace them with torpedoes, and finally send them back to the deck?"

After saying this, Wu Zhilin glanced at Bi Peilin, making it clear that she was asking her to respond to her own question.

"Eat noodles, eat noodles! Don't be cold......" Li Yan let go of the second daughter, and at this time, the Wang brothers, Wu Hao, Yang Muye and others had already started to eat with chopsticks. Only the second daughter and Li Yan did not move their chopsticks.

It's not that the brothers started first, but when the two were arguing, they had already beaten them up and let them eat first.

"Two ...... Two hours, right?" Biperin replied.

"It will take at least two hours, that is to say, before 10:55 a.m., it is impossible for the Japanese army to complete preparations for the take-off of the second attack wave, and according to records, the US imperialists have already begun to drop bombs at 10:20 p.m.! Moreover, after the war, many personnel on the Japanese aircraft carrier confirmed that when the Mi Di aircraft attacked, there were only three Zero fighters on the deck of the Akagi. And the bombers of the Kaga are still in the hangar, and there are only 10 planes on the deck of the Canglong that have just returned to land in the first attack wave!" After Wu Zhilin said these words, he turned his head and glanced at Li Yan and said, "These are the historical records I saw in the library. The credibility is high...... Therefore, it was simply impossible for the Japanese to take off the second attack wave in five minutes. ”

After the words were spoken, everyone who was eating was basically stunned. No one expected Wu Zhilin to be able to describe the details so clearly.

Wang Qiling put down the dishes and chopsticks at this time and said to everyone: "I have also seen a documentary, which probably says that the casualties of the pilots of the three carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese army are not large, and I remember that the film focuses on a knowledge point, that is, if it only takes five minutes for the plane to take off, the pilot must have been prepared in the cockpit of the plane, and if it is bombed at this time, the plane full of fuel and ammunition on the deck will definitely cause a chain explosion, then the pilot's casualties will be absolutely heavy." ”

Wu Zhilin nodded and said: "Yes, the reality that the pilot's casualties were not large at that time also proves from the opposite side that the so-called take-off in five minutes is purely a fabrication." ”

Li Yan couldn't sit still, and snorted at everyone: "I said, can you eat first?" ”

Everyone looked at Li Yan, and the expression on everyone's face was "drama"!

After Wu Zhilin glanced at Bi Peilin, he proudly picked up the chopsticks.

At this moment, the ramen in the bowl was already warm, but Wu Zhilin still ate it deliciously.

At this moment, Wang Qiling, who was already eating a bowl of food, suddenly said: "In September 1942, the carrier-based aircraft of the first attack wave of the Japanese aircraft carrier in the Indian Ocean operation had just completed an air raid on Trincomalee in Ceylon, and on the way back, the reconnaissance plane suddenly discovered the British aircraft carrier "Athletic God", do you know?"

Li Yan nodded and changed, Li Yan did see this in the documentary. It's just that the details are not so clear to me at this time.

"You know, and then?" Li Yan asked Wang Qiling.

Wang Qiling continued in a deep voice: "Then? Then, of course, Nagumo Tadaichi immediately ordered to be on standby on the deck, and the attack planes that were preparing to carry out the second wave of attacks on Trincomalee unloaded their bombs and replaced them with torpedoes, and while the ground crews on the deck were busy, nine British light bombers that took off from Trincomalee happened to fly above the head of the Akagi at the weakest moment of the Japanese defenses, and the 20 Zero fighters responsible for the air defense of the entire fleet were all hovering at low altitudes, and they had no time to intercept the British troops who were rushing from a high altitude, I have thought about it many times......

This scene is similar to the Battle of Midway, except that the bombing skills of the British bomber pilots were so bad that none of the bombs dropped hit. This is the only time in time that the Akagi would have sunk into the Indian Ocean, and how could it have survived to the Battle of Midway two months later?"

Wu Zhilin said while eating next to him: "Actually, when the Japanese army was deducing the Midway operation map organized by the Combined Fleet, they encountered a situation where when the 1st Air Fleet attacked Midway, two US aircraft carriers suddenly appeared and launched a counterattack against the Japanese fleet. ”

"Did you lose too?" Li Yan asked curiously beside him.

Wu Zhilin nodded and said: "The staff officer of the 4th Air Corps, who served as the referee of the exercise, Okumiya Masatake Shaoza, judged that the Japanese aircraft carrier was hit by 9 bullets, and the Akagi and Kaga sank. With such an accurate warning, Chief of Staff of the Combined Fleet, Chief of Staff Ugaki, believed that it was impossible for the US military to have such a strong combat effectiveness, so with a stroke of the pen, he changed the number of shots from nine to only three, and only the "Akagi" was injured, thus burying the important hidden dangers that had already been exposed. ”

Bi Peilin suddenly put the chopsticks on the table and said loudly: "I have heard this statement many times, and I have also heard some experts say that when the Japanese army only used 266 carrier-based planes from four aircraft carriers against the 233 carrier-based planes on the three aircraft carriers of Mid-Ter, plus more than 120 planes of the shore-based air force at Midway, the outcome of this naval battle would have been basically decided! But I did turn the tide of battle after a few deductions!"

Wu Zhilin said suddenly: "That's because you already know the result, and you want me to say it...... The Japanese are just looking for a fig leaf for their fiasco. Because I think there's something wrong with their plan itself!"

Wang Qiling muttered weakly in a low voice: "Some people also think that one of the main reasons why Midi won this unprecedented victory is that he deciphered the Japanese code in advance and knew the entire plan of the Japanese army well, so he succeeded in ambushing the Japanese plan......"

Before he finished speaking, five or six more people walked into the ramen restaurant. Someone next to him shouted loudly to the waiter, and someone beckoned to take a seat, which was a little lively for a while.

Just when Wu Zhilin and the others were about to continue talking, this person sat not far from him and said, "What other plan do you use? Silver Seed Wine has risen so well, just buy and follow up one after another!"

Wu Zhilin, who was about to speak, suddenly pursed his lips, and after Bi Peilin also paused at this time, he quietly tilted his head and looked at the people sitting at the table not far from him and the others.

"Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"

"That's it, Mr. Zhang...... I think it works. You don't have to be so cautious, right?"
