Chapter 246: Dongxiang's Chance

"Keep up the speed and be vigilant!"

Dongxiang Fukai coldly gave the order.

The staff next to him hurriedly bowed down and asked:

"Your Excellency, the Americans are constantly urging our Great Japanese Fleet to increase its speed and make sure to reach Singapore as soon as possible, but you ...... Aren't you worried about the Americans turning the other cheek? ”

As a matter of fact, just after the US-Japan joint fleet held a ceremony in the waters east of Taiwan to mourn the US Navy's CVN70 "Carl Vinson" aircraft carrier battle group, which had been mysteriously sunk by its own submarine, it received the news that another aircraft carrier, the USS Lincoln, had been sunk in the Gulf of Oman and that no one on board had survived.

If it weren't for the bulletin from the Ministry of Defense, no one would have believed that this would be true!

It is understandable that the "Roosevelt" and "Truman" aircraft carrier battle groups were blown up and sunk by air and space fighters, after all, it was a strong enemy without warning, and it is understandable.

But what about "Lincoln"? But in the face of the open, he was sunk by a missile launched by the Arabs!

When did the US Navy become so weak, and the lazy Arabs so strong?

It's not scientific at all!

The U.S. warships that learned the news did not even complete the mourning ceremony, so they hurriedly pulled anchor and set sail. They will follow the orders of the Ministry of National Defense and rush to Singapore as fast as possible, join up with the Seventh Fleet from its base in Guam, and cross the Indian Ocean to deal a severe blow at the arrogant Arab League.

It is normal for Americans to be hurt and unwilling. As an alliance, Japan's Overseas Self-Defense Force must cooperate as a matter of course.

But the supreme commander of the Japanese army had his own calculations.

By any measure, the United States has suffered a terrible defeat this time. In just half a day, the three aircraft carrier battle groups completely lost their combat effectiveness. In the Middle East, there is already a vacuum of American power!

Even if there are still seven aircraft carriers rushing to the battlefield, and more US warships are gathering in the Middle East, Togo Fukai believes that the Arab Holy Alliance is by no means only two hole cards, air and space fighters and mysterious missiles -- at least there is definitely more than one undetectable and elusive stealth bomber!

There is a great possibility that the United States has already kicked the steel plate.

The tragedy of the "Lincoln" will definitely not be the end. The American aircraft carriers that followed were moths to the flames!

Although the world believes that the United States and NATO will achieve the final victory, Togo has already seen the deep crisis.

Although the United States and Japan are still nominally allies, it should be a gentleman's virtue to help. But who dropped the two atomic bombs that fell on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Who forced Japan to sign the "Plaza Accord" that hurt Japan's economy? Not to mention the most heart-wrenching thing about the fact that Japan has no defense, so that Japan has not been able to become a normal country with an independent army, who is the real black hand behind this?

United States!

World War II ended with the two atomic bombs that landed on Japan, but it was the beginning of the United States chaining Japan.

U.S. military bases all over the Japanese archipelago, U.S. GIs doing whatever they want, and the U.S. government that curbs Japan's independent development of new weapons...... After the end of World War II, Japan's economy may have developed greatly, but the fruits were gently picked by the United States; What is the difference between a nominally sovereign state, but in reality a colony of the United States?

The whole world knows that the so-called "US-Japan alliance" is just a link in the dog chain. Japan is not only the bridgehead for the United States to contain Russia, North Korea, and China, but also the vanguard in the most dangerous situation.

Why did the multi-purpose fourth-generation stealth fighter F-35 "Lightning", jointly developed by many countries, have no participation from Japan?

Why can the American GIs who forced Japanese female students to carry out "aid" get away with it?

Why does every newly appointed Japanese prime minister visit the United States first?

Why......

Togo Fukai is very aware of the reason for this, and he has often been annoyed that Japan cannot get rid of the control of the United States - if Heihachiro's predecessors were still there, it is estimated that he would also be angry to death by Japan, which is now embarrassed, right?

But now, Fukai is beginning to feel that the opportunity for the Yamato nation, which belongs to the Great Japanese Empire, has come!

…………

Togo Fukai believes that in addition to being restricted by the "US-Japan Security Treaty," the most important thing is that Japan has actually sent combat forces abroad because it sent its most powerful fleet to participate in the war with the US military.

This was originally an act that violated Japan's "Peace Constitution" after the war, but it was also a move that a new generation of Japanese soldiers such as Togo Fukai was looking forward to day and night.

The grand occasion of the Japanese Empire's entrenchment on the East Asian continent and its prestige in the Pacific Ocean will surely be displayed to the world again after this military dispatch. The beautiful and picturesque "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" will surely be re-realized in the hands of the emperor's most sincere samurai!

But until then, at least for now, the United States remains the most powerful country on the planet, with unrivaled military power. It is not a wise choice for Japan to part ways with it or even turn against it.

This seemingly contradictory proposition, in the eyes of General Togo, is not a problem at all.

The reason is on this group of Japanese warships.

In addition to the "Ise" helicopter destroyer, which is the flagship, the Japanese Overseas Self-Defense Force task force also includes the "Shirane" helicopter destroyer, the "Atago"-class, the "Kongo"-class, the "Takanami-class" and the "Kikaze"-class missile destroyers.

But the Togo Society agreed that the Japanese soldiers rushed to the battlefield to die for the Americans?

This is obviously impossible!

Because in addition to these high-speed destroyers, the Overseas Self-Defense Forces also have another type of ship -- amphibious assault ships.

The "Shimokita" and "Kunisaki" are two "Osumi"-class amphibious assault ships from the first transport fleet of the Kure Naval Base. The full load displacement reached 14 thousand tons. At that time, the two large ships were temporarily requisitioned in view of the possibility of landing operations in the Arabian Peninsula. But now it seems that this was a wise decision by the Prophet of Unknown!

Quite simply, although the displacement of the "Osumi" class is very large, the load it can carry is correspondingly good, and it can play a very good role in landing operations...... But its maximum speed is only 22 knots!

According to the "barrel theory", since they are the slowest ships of the entire combined fleet, they are the shortest board on the barrel, and the amount of water that the barrel can hold can only be determined by their length.

Now, these two slowest amphibious assault ships have become the biggest reason for Dongxiang Shenjing to move forward slowly!

PS: In the past two days, because of work, from the 9th to the 11th, I can only try to ensure that one chapter is updated, that is, by the 12th, Xiaomeng owes another twelve chapters.

But readers who are familiar with Xiaomeng must also know very well, how can something go wrong with Xiaomeng's character? Since it is said that it will be made up, it will definitely pay off the debts of these twelve chapters, which is clean and refreshing!

During the debt repayment period, do you feel happy to watch three shifts a day?

Haha, then let's stay cool after the 12th...... Hey!
