Chapter 245: Chrysanthemums and Knives
Togo Fukaishi stood proudly in the command room. At his feet, the "Ise" was riding the wind and waves, escorted by thirteen Japanese ships, and moved forward at a rapid pace.
"Ise" is an unusual warship.
But judging by the name of its "destroyer", it can be regarded as a cutting-edge ship at best, and it doesn't seem to be a big deal. But in terms of displacement and combat capabilities, this "Ise" can definitely not be just a destroyer!
With a length of 197 meters, a width of 33 meters, a full load displacement of 17,000 tons, and the ability to carry up to eight helicopters, the "Ise" has already reached the standard of a light aircraft carrier and cannot be counted as a destroyer in any way.
But the Japanese only named it like that, and they could only name it like that -- the "Ise," Hyuga-class helicopter destroyer.
As a result of the defeat in World War II, Japan became an abnormal country -- the Allied forces would be permanently stationed in the Japanese archipelago, and Japan's military strength could only be maintained at the level of maintaining law and order.
No armies!
However, due to the Cold War's response to the Soviet Union and the current need to contain China, the United States gradually loosened its dog leash. Japan has made great strides in both its economy and military, and although its economy has been sluggish since the "Plaza Accord" was exploited by the United States, its military strength has grown by leaps and bounds with the support of the United States.
Although it is called the "Self-Defense Force" and does not have the name of an army, the modernization of its military equipment is second to none in Asia!
Japan's military science and technology represented by the "Hyuga"-class helicopter carrier, even though the Japanese refuse to admit that this is actually a light aircraft carrier, an "Atago"-class guided missile destroyer, and a "Soryu"-class AIP conventional submarine, still surprised the Americans.
Many technologies, many designs, and many ideas have shocked even the US military, which considers itself to be the best in the world.
I originally wanted to raise a dog, but I accidentally raised a wolf!
Luckily, there's still a chain.
But if this trend continues, no one knows if this invisible chain will be able to lock up the growing wolf.
Therefore, the war in the Middle East has become the best grinding plate.
As far as the United States is concerned, although Congress has just allocated a $2 trillion budget for war subsidies, why do we have to volunteer if we can prevent American GIs from fighting in person? There are NATO's client state troops, and there are eager Japanese military dogs, and all the United States needs to do is to shout loudly and wave a leather whip from behind to drive them into battle.
As for Japan, which has long been an "abnormal country," although it has pinched its nose and borne the war expenses of $500 billion, is it not an excuse for Japan to have a legitimate defense force and fight overseas in a bright and bright way?
Even if it was able to participate in the Middle East war on the other side of the world, who could question the legitimacy of Japan's formal possession of the military?
This is where the revival of the Empire's former glory begins; Japan's dream of "long-term military luck" is just around the corner!
Although the Americans may know what kind of demon they are unleashing, compared to the mysterious and brave Arab Divine Alliance, Japan, no matter how you look at it, is obviously much more docile.
Although it can bite itself back at any time!
…………
Togo Fukai and Japan's "God of the Navy" Togo Heihachiro not only have the same surname, but they were also born in Kagoshima.
The only difference is that Togo Fukai and Togo Heihachiro Marshal Hachiko can't get along.
But even so, it couldn't affect Dongxiang Fukai's mood at this time.
Marshal Heihachiro Togo was able to defeat the Russian fleet in the Battle of Tsushima and lay the foundation for Japan to become a great power in East Asia. I Dongxiang Shenjing can raise a strong team, resist Russia, and recapture the four northern islands; The westward invasion of China continued the survival of the empire.
Even Yamamoto Fifty-six can beat the US Navy and Air Force into a daze, and my Togo Fukai can also continue the glory of our ancestors, insert Japanese chrysanthemums in the head of the White House, and let the samurai's sword cut through the Pentagon!
Only now, if the Great Japanese Empire wants to regain its glory, it must continue to endure it.
But in any case, one day, "Jun's Generation" will be sung all over the world, and even the Western monkeys, who used to be known as "the sun never sets", can only coax the bananas thrown by the Japanese subjects in the barbed wire!
As for the United States, which has been forcibly occupying the Emperor's holy land, plundering Japan's wealth, and persecuting Japanese women? Hmph, we will definitely calculate this account!
"Your Excellency General, our formation has entered the South China Sea and is passing through the Dongsha Islands in China." The standard military salute of the staff officer made Dongxiang have to retract his thoughts of drifting farther and farther. "May I ask Your Excellency General, have you carried out a simulated attack on the surrounding islands and reefs in accordance with the established plan?"
At the time of departure, Togo Fukai had assigned these staff officers an assignment entitled "The Status of the South China Sea and Naval Countermeasures." Now that you are here, it is naturally the best examination room.
Advance or retreat, attack or disturb, defend or abandon, all in Dongxiang's thoughts.
What he needed was a genius like Yamamoto in the past.
But when I thought about the order given to him by the little lieutenant colonel officer of the US army, Dongxiang Fukai lost any interest!
"Order the fleet, keep silent, and go full speed!"
It's not that Togo doesn't want to blow up these Chinese islands and reefs to the bottom of the sea, it's that the current Japanese military strength can't compete with the United States alone.
As we all know, the current economic relations between China and Japan, and between China and the United States, are entangled and intertwined. To hurt the enemy is to harm oneself. Therefore, until he could come up with the safest plan, Dongxiang did not want to anger the other party.
It is said that the Chinese army is a rabbit, and it does not bite when it is not in a hurry. But Dongxiang knows deeply that in the face of a group of wise and black-bellied rabbits, it is better to keep a low profile before there is no absolute force......
The United States and the Soviet Union have already fallen for this rabbit, and India has also been gnawed so hard that it is almost about to move its capital. And even Japan is not in the eyes, Vietnam, known as the "third military power in the world", was almost copied by this rabbit!
Past experience, if not forgotten, is a guide for the future.. Togo, of course, knew what choice he had to make -- to be the vanguard of the combined U.S.-Japan fleet, and to try the character of the Japanese before the Americans were unlucky......
"Continue with the work on the map!" Dongxiang Shenjingtou did not reply to the order:
"Take care of every bullet! Our goal is much more than that! ”
The staff officer saluted and quickly left. But Togo's eyes were locked on the U.S. warship not far away.
Nominally, they were escorting the helicopter carrier "Ise", but in fact they were threatening and intimidating the Imperial Japanese Navy to rebuild its glory!
The soul of Yamato, chrysanthemums and knives. How could these white monkeys imagine?
