In the war of Japan's invasion of China, the vast majority relied on the army, and the navy did not contribute much at all, except for the air force and the marines.

The key point is that the Yamashiro government's navy is a bit weak, with a total tonnage of just over 60,000 tons, or the three fleets combined, while the Japanese navy has a total tonnage of more than one million tons, which is not an opponent of the same level at all.

As far as the current Japanese Navy is concerned, although it has learned the etiquette of the British Navy, it does not actually regard the British Navy as a real opponent.

The idol who studied before was beaten all over the ground by the German Navy, what is there to worry about? The navy of the British Empire has fallen!

Of course, this statement is also unfair, in the case of frontal combat, it is the German Navy that is looking for teeth everywhere, and it will definitely not be able to carry the British Navy, but the submarines of the German Navy are invincible in the battle, and the British Navy has no temper at all.

Up to now, the British Navy's three aircraft carriers, HMS Brave, HMS Glory and HMS Ark Royal, have been sunk, and two of them have been killed by submarines.

The three officers naturally talked about the pride of the Japanese Navy, the combined fleet that dominates the sea at this stage, but the combat mission of this main fleet is a top secret among top secrets, and only a very small number of high-ranking naval officers and staff officers who participated in the formulation of the plan are known, and they have not even touched the edge.

"The mission performed by the Second Fleet of the Side Fleet, it is just a small scene, Chen Jun, if you are lucky enough to see the attack lineup of the Combined Fleet, you will know how powerful the Imperial Japanese Navy is!" Nakajima said with a smile.

It is precisely because I don't know the battle plan that I can speculate and comment on it, drinking rice wine and eating hairy crabs, and I can't stop the topic as soon as it opens.

"The southward expansion strategy is a war related to the fate of the empire, and the combined fleet will definitely shoulder the most important responsibility to prove that the navy is the elite of the empire." Shimada Nakasa said.

"A few days ago, I had a meal with Lieutenant General Morioka, the commander of the 16th Division, and Major General Masami Maeda, chief of staff of the 14th Army. Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

This is not something he made up, but it really came from the mouth of the army general, the navy and the army are pinching hard, and more excessive words than this have not been relayed!

"How dare a herd of red deer defy our navy? If there is no fleet to protect the waterways, what will they do to support the attrition in the war, and carry the arsenal with them to make guns and ammunition? ”

"Even if they can occupy Southeast Asia, the navy will not provide support, just rely on those transport ships made by the army, once the British and American naval ships attack, the fools will sink to the bottom of the sea at any time to feed the sharks, and the end will be a dead end!" Onoza said angrily.

"Having said that, I guess that the main target of the Combined Fleet must be the station of the US Pacific Fleet, which is the biggest threat to the Empire's southward expansion strategy." Shimada Nakasa said.

"This is just the most basic common sense, but this port is not so easy to attack, first of all, it is more than 3,000 kilometers away from the station of the Combined Fleet, and it is difficult to do a sneak attack, even if it is a sneak attack, the water depth of the port is only more than ten meters."

"Secondly, according to the reconnaissance of the intelligence officers of the Japanese Consulate General in Honolulu, the US military has several hundred aircraft and more than a hundred ships there, including three aircraft carriers and nine battleships, twenty cruisers and more than sixty destroyers, and it is almost impossible to storm it." Ono said.

"Not necessarily, Admiral Yamamoto's style is to bet that if this thing is true, I believe he can create a miracle, in fact, the naval aviation has been doing similar simulation exercises in Kagoshima Bay."

"As for the depth of the water, you must not forget that last November, when the British Navy attacked Taranto, Italy, and sank three battleships at a depth of only 12 meters, which is the most striking example." Nakajima said.

As the three naval officers were talking, they entered a state of tactical deduction, and Chen Mingxiang, as an audience, kept pouring wine for them, and he also believed that the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy might sneak attack the US Pacific Fleet station, that is, Pearl Harbor!

Unfortunately, he had no other way to obtain relevant information, so he could not verify whether the speculation of the three naval officers was true or not.

In the absence of the latest information, he chose to send a report to Boss Dai, it was already December 1, and if he waited, there would be no time for warning.

"Bureau, Chunfeng sent top-secret information, using the second set of codes, this is the special contact password between him and Pan Qiwu, and it will not be used until the most critical time, which means that Mingyue does not know the content of this intelligence."

"The telegram is as follows: On the 5th of this month, the Japanese military headquarters formed the main army to attack Southeast Asia, called the Southern Army, and the sequence of combat units is not known for the time being."

"The task of the newly established 14th Army is to attack the US forces in the Philippines, and the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet will cooperate, and the attack time is scheduled for December 8."

"The first to carry out a landing operation on Luzon Island and seize air supremacy to cover the attacking air force is the Fifth Flying Group of the Japanese Army Air Force and the Eleventh Air Fleet of the Navy."

"At the same time, the 38th Division of the 23rd Army of the Dispatch Army, with the cooperation of the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy's Zhu Huaxia Fleet, will attack Minatojo, and both pieces of information have been confirmed."

"This is what our Military Command Bureau has always dreamed of, and it was really done by the spring breeze, I can't believe it!" Mao Renfeng excitedly ran to Dai Li's office and said.

Chunfeng, a strategic agent, has brought many huge surprises to the Military Command Bureau, and the value of this intelligence may be second only to the Japanese bombing of the Huangshan official residence, which saved the lives of the commission and a large group of military and political dignitaries.

The Japanese army attacked Southeast Asia and entered a state of war with the United States, Britain and the Netherlands, and the pressure on the Yamashiro government would be greatly reduced, and it would be difficult to launch a large-scale strategic offensive.

"This is indeed good news, but it is also a huge bad news, the Japanese army has captured the concession, and our Military Command Bureau has lost its cover barrier in Shanghai, and subsequent activities will be greatly threatened."

"The Japanese army occupied the port city, our access to aid was cut off, and the fiat currency completely lost the foreign exchange market, making it even more difficult financially."

"But no matter what, Chunfeng is worthy of the identity of a strategic agent of the Military Control Bureau, and after the intelligence is verified, I will apply to the commission for a commendation for him." Boss Dai said.

"Chunfeng also has a request, he needs the intelligence channel of the bureau headquarters to provide information about the exchange of secret telegrams between the Japanese Consulate General in Honolulu and Japan, and he suspects that the main force of the Japanese Navy, the Combined Fleet, wants to sneak attack the station of the US Pacific Fleet." Mao Renfeng said.
