Chapter 840: Strange Events of the Japanese Navy and Army (Fourth Update)

On the bridge of the battleship Nagato, the captain of the Nagato, Jiro Saito, received the request and thought for a while before deciding on artillery support.

It is very rare for the Japanese Navy to support the Army, and it is an exaggeration to see it once in a hundred years, and it is not too much to encounter it once in a few years, and the Japanese Navy Department and the Army Department have always been at odds with each other, and the Minister of the Navy and the Minister of War often pinch each other during cabinet meetings, and sometimes even fight each other.

The mutual pinching of the top leaders has made the relationship between the navy and the army very poor, and there have even been cases where they cannot be saved.

In the aircraft carrier battle in the Mariana Islands in June 1944, there was a Japanese fleet near the former Dutch East India oil field, which produced a lot of oil and had oil refineries, but the fleet could not rush to the battlefield because of the lack of fuel.

In the later Battle of Leyte Gulf, the Ise and Hyuga, which were sent by the Japanese Navy from the mainland, were also one step late and did not catch up with the battle, also because of the lack of fuel, and they stopped and stopped along the way, delaying for a day or two.

Japan lacks oil, this theory often appears in almost all kinds of stall literature, and if Japan discovered the Daqing oil field and other theories, in fact, they are all, Japan is not short of oil at all, and even very rich.

After Japan occupied the Dutch East India Oil, Japan did not lack oil, but among the Japanese army, the rules for the occupation of resources were rather strange, not according to demand, but according to the first branch of the military, and the Japanese Army had a very advantage in this regard, and 85 percent of the Dutch East India oil was occupied by the army, including six large oil refineries, and the Japanese Navy had only 15 percent!

The Japanese Army's main fuel is aviation and tank armor, but in the Japanese Army, the Air Force and tanks are not very many, so the demand is very small, but the Japanese Navy is different, the Japanese Navy uses a large number of ships, since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has a large number of ships to go to sea every year, and the Japanese Navy consumes dozens of times more oil than the Army every year.

The Japanese Army controls about 90 percent of Japan's oil, but it does not give it to the Navy, but sells it to the Navy as if it were doing business, and the Navy has to carry out all kinds of extortion and extortion against the Army for the sake of oil, such as prohibiting all oil tankers sent to Japan from the former Dutch East Indies to enter the port and dock.

Later, the Japanese had no choice, and set up a magical organization of the Army, Sea and Oil Commission, which was originally intended to resolve differences and disputes, but later became a place where the navy and army officers fought and brawled, and they started fighting if they disagreed, which was very violent, until the defeat of Japan, the Japanese army almost did not provide the navy with oil for free, and the navy paid various costs to the army, such as artillery support, such as helping the army transport soldiers, and so on.

In order to resist the threat and blackmail of the navy, the Japanese army set up a shipyard with limited resources, and built its own ships to transport soldiers and resources, but the two sides never had any communication, including routes, loading conditions and arrival times, and even Japanese Navy submarines sank army ships.

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese Navy discovered the American submarines, but never reported to the Army, resulting in a large number of resources transported back to China by the Army to be sunk by the Americans.

The rivalry between the Japanese Navy and the Army has caused confusion in the Japanese industry, and one of the simplest examples, such as the screws that are also used for fixing, if the screws used by the Japanese Army are left-handed, the Navy will definitely design them to be right-handed to show that they are different from the Army.

Another example is the anti-aircraft guns of the Japanese Navy and the Army, the Japanese Army is called anti-aircraft guns, and the Navy is called high-angle guns, which are actually weapons for a purpose, but they are renamed to show off their differences from each other.

And the reason why Jiro Saito was able to agree to Kazuhiko Fukuda's request was entirely because the two were close friends, and they were also brothers-in-law, Kazuhiko Fukuda's sister was Jiro Saito's wife, but even with this relationship, Jiro Saito had to find a sufficient excuse to open fire.

"Oda-kun, we said that there might be some problems with the maintenance of our main gun before, let's check it today!"

When the deputy captain next to him heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "No problem, sir, we can now shoot at the sea surface and conduct a ballistic check." ”

Jiro Saito was a little helpless, and the deputy captain preferred to shoot at the sea rather than propose to shell the Chinese army, because the army was fighting there.

"Let's go and shell the earth, let the reconnaissance plane take off, and hit the position in the west, after all, the main guns of the battleship can't be wasted, and if you can kill a few Chinese soldiers, you can kill a few!"

The vice-captain nodded, bent over and walked out, and after picking up the flag and signaling a few times, the main gun of the Nagato began to slowly turn the muzzle.

"Well, let's shoot two shots at this position!"

Jiro Saito pointed to the Luodian area, and after giving an approximate location, the deputy captain nodded and typed out the coordinates, and at the same time the reconnaissance plane took off and flew towards Luodian.

"Gun No. 1 ready!"

"Gun No. 2 ready!"

"Gun No. 3 ready!"

"Gun No. 4 ready!"

"Ready, wait for the order to fire!"

The main gun of the Nagato is four twin 410 mm main guns, with the order of Jiro Saito, the first main gun is the first to speak, two huge roars, the sea under the barrel seems to be pushed away by a big hand, two 410 mm shells whistle out of the barrel, and fly towards Luodian.

"Tweet ......"

"What's ......?"

Two very strange sounds of breaking the air sounded in the sky above Luodian, this kind of sound Yu Yang had never heard before, but as the sound became louder and louder, Yu Yang felt the danger, pulled Liu Youcai beside him, and lay on the ground.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The explosion was no longer booming, but thumping, as if someone had beaten a huge war drum in your ears, and then Yu Yang was moved backwards by the shock wave from the explosion of the cannonball.

There were all kinds of objects flying by beside him, Yu Yang was holding his head with his hands, his mind was blank, he didn't know what he was attacking, the power could be so huge!
