Chapter 205: Ah! Navy (15, 2nd update today)
ps: Some readers asked, is Hiroshi Nakasone Yasuhiro? I want to say, you're amazing! The latter served in Aoba and Nagato, with the rank of lieutenant, and was in charge of quartermasters, and since the classmate is still alive, this book only uses his experience and does not use his name. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoAs for not knowing who Yasuhiro Nakasone is, please Baidu, thank you......
Although Shiro Kawakoshi is an out-and-out fleet faction, but until the Pacific War, as long as his brain is not paralyzed, he knows that it is impossible to leave the air force, so he muttered: "Can you use land-based air forces?" β
Shen Zhongde reminded: "Will it be unreliable?" After all, Onishi also took refuge, and he was in charge of the air fleets. β
After a little thought, Kagawa Kushiro knew that Kamishige was right: land-based aviation is a standard aviation school, and Horikichi has always asked for the pilots to be awarded officers, and he has also asked for a reform of the system to increase the importance of aviation power, and they are all grateful, and it is entirely possible that they are unreliable.
"What about land aviation?"
"That group of red deer in the army aviation can beat the elite carrier-based pilots?" Ugaki shook his head, "The impact of the Army's intervention is too bad, and the combined fleet and outsiders join forces to fight their own fleet and marines?" What do the officers and men of the grassroots of the fleet think? Sir, there is a difference between land and sea. β
"It doesn't work, it doesn't work either." Kagawa Koshiro was annoyed, "You guys have a way to do it!" β
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, there is silence. Kondo Nobutake observed carefully, and the admirals who were usually active during the meeting were now like cucumbers after frost, all of them were listless, and they sat there without sound. Only Kagawa Koshiro's own henchmen and Ugaki are very active jumping around, oh, and there is also Minoru Genda.
"It's not entirely impossible." Minoru Genda, who was attending the meeting, suddenly interjected, "The Dafeng is estimated to be almost ready. β
"If there is a Dafeng with you, then it is no problem at all, this is the empire's premier heavy aircraft carrier, and its combat effectiveness is completely more than 2 light air carriers." Kagawakoshiro was overjoyed, looked at everyone, and said after a moment of silence, "The chief of staff is responsible for coordinating the formation of troops, and we will set off tomorrow morning, and the battleships plan to dispatch the Yamato and Musashi (Nagato is under maintenance), 4 heavy cruisers, 4-6 light cruisers, and 4 destroyers." If you can, please be sure to accompany the Dafeng, if not, we will find a way. β
Half an hour later, the Dafeng called back, reporting that the ship had completed all the construction work and was in the sea trials, and there were still some subjects that had not been completed, and the carrier-based aircraft, fuel, and materials were not complete, so it was not impossible to make an emergency dispatch, but it needed more time to prepare, at least after the evening of the 27th.
Kazukawa Koshiro was satisfied with this, because the Taiho was being tested in the sea near the Kobe shipyard, and the distance was much closer than the main force of the Combined Fleet departing from the anchorage of Tsukishima, and even if it departed at the latest, it would have enough time to join the fleet. Besides, he still has to make time for Horiyoshi to deal with King Hiroshi of Fushimi Palace, how can he be there so quickly? If he didn't rush to Tokyo to rescue the driver at a critical moment, how could he show the importance of the Combined Fleet, and how could he and Shiro Kawako's key role in turning the tide and single-handedly winning the sky?
"Agree to the request, please be sure to complete the preparations, and the time will be relaxed to 9 a.m. on the 28th." And Kawakoshiro hesitantly ordered, "The main force of the rest of the fleet is tentatively scheduled to leave at 9 o'clock tomorrow. β
"Wait." Ugaki reminded, "Sir, Vice Admiral Nagumo, the commander of the mobile fleet, is not here, and it is estimated that he has been detained or killed by the rebels, this fleet commander? β
"Oh......" Shiro Kawakoshi patted his head, as if he had just remembered, "I almost forgot without your reminder, what good advice do you have?" β
Ugaki pestered the eager Shen Shigede and Minoru Genda, and shook his head at them, meaning that they were not qualified: the two of them were just a big Zuo and a Zhongsa, and if they wanted to command the Taiho, they would at least have to go to the major general, and the lieutenant general would be better. Kazukawa Koshiro also understood this, and he looked at the faces of the participants in distress, not knowing who to choose.
In the end, the veteran Wu Zilang stood up, and he had the opportunity to be promoted as the commander of the mobile fleet in the 36th phase of the navy, but he politely declined. Kagawa Koshiro was not very at ease with him, but he couldn't openly refuse, because he was the oldest among these people, if he refused the other party and replaced, Hosoxuan Wuzilang was estimated to be violent, so he said: "Staff Officer Gentian, the Dafeng has just been put into service, and the work is complicated, so you will also go together to assist Commander Hosoxuan in carrying out the work." β
"Yes!" Minoru Genda stood up loudly, and Nobutake Kondo frowned in disgust, but didn't say much.
While they were discussing the dispatch of troops, Horiyoshi also held a high-level meeting of the rebel army at the Military Command Department. After taking control of all the key places, the core members of his team, who had expressed their determination to leave with him, gathered at the military command headquarters after the banner of rebellion was erected, and the conference room was filled at once, and the entire headquarters of the rebel army was formed in an instant.
Everyone gathered together with joy and greeted each other, thinking that it was really gratifying and congratulatory that the chief finally took action to sweep away the haze and break the depression. No one felt that they were rebelling, but that they were orthodox and crusading against national thieves. Now that the commander and the name are available, coupled with the presence of the Second Air Combat and the First Brigade and the supplies in the direction of the dock, these veteran generals and staff officers can immediately judge whether their side is advantageous or not. Hearing that the troops had taken control of the entire naval center and the key points of Tokyo City with lightning speed, the people's interest was even greater.
This is the style of the chief, either he doesn't move, or he is as fast as lightning and thunder when he moves, which is difficult to resist. It's hard to imagine that the chief will endure until the last moment, almost everyone thinks that he must swallow his anger and go abroad, so they complain that Horiyoshi has hidden them too hard and depressed, and they must give an explanation!
"Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize to you after success, and I will not get drunk." Horiyoshi smiled, "But we don't have time to greet each other for the time being, we still have important things to do." β
"Whoa!"
He quickly issued various instructions: "As for the Navy Ministry, Yamamoto-kun and Inoue-kun still have to stabilize the palace, and it is not appropriate to show up for the time being, please Takasu-kun and Onishi-kun cooperate in management and handle normal affairs." β
Takasu Shiro is a general, and it is obvious that he is the main one, assisted by Onishi Takijiro.
"On the side of the Military Command Department, it is managed by me and Tsukahara-kun." Hori Yiji said again, "Kusaka-kun is still the chief of staff, and he is responsible for the work of the entire rebel army. β
"Yes!" The two answered together.
"The land operation is coordinated by Keiji Shibasaki, and at present, except for the direction of the hospital, the rest has come to an end for the time being, and Kanoda-kun and Nishimura-kun are invited to return to the warship to deal with the follow-up enemy situation."
Nishimura Shoji hesitated and said, "Sir, do you want to go to the ship to command, it's safer there." β
"Can't!" Horikichi shook his head, "Our mission is not yet complete, I can't go to the warship, let alone leave the front line, I must let the officers and soldiers see me, and I must be seen by the citizens of Tokyo." β
"Understood!"
The staff officers from all walks of life, including the officers of the new team, immediately found their suitable positions according to the requirements of the group, and everyone was very excited, those who are present today will be members of the inner circle in the future, as long as Chief Horikichi succeeds, he can go out with his nostrils facing the sky in the future, because in the future, there will be no difference between the fleet faction and the aviation faction, there will only be one faction - the Hori faction!
At the same moment, Chiaki Matsuda, who was on Horikichi's orders, approached Keiji Shibasaki, who sent 1,500 men to surround the naval hospital, but he still couldn't do it, and he was sweating profusely.
"What's going on? The old thief ran away? β
"I definitely didn't run. Hiding in the hospital in an unknown corner, I couldn't find him for a long time. Shibasaki Keiji said hatefully, "Only two of his guards were arrested, and they confessed that the adjutant accompanied him to do the inspection, and they didn't know where it was." Then he went to the department he frequented and searched without a trace, and even the examining doctor could not find him. β
King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong has a respected status, and it is naturally impossible to live with ordinary people when he is hospitalized, and even other hospitalized people do not know that the chief of the military command department is recuperating in the naval hospital, and his existence is completely secret. Since he was expected to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, there were more examinations tonight, and when Shibasaki Keiji led his troops to rush over, he was discovered by his adjutant Takahashi Ding, who was immediately stunned by this noise and momentum, and immediately reported it to King Hirohiro Koshi Fushimiya. Although there was no alarm signal, Fushiminomiya's perception of danger was completely beyond that of ordinary people, and he subconsciously thought that these soldiers were coming to him, and the comers were not good, so he immediately called the adjutant and the doctor to run away.
Just as he was about to escape, the rebel army had quickly taken control of the perimeter, and after being surrounded by the group, Takahashi decided that it was impossible to get out at all, so he asked the doctor to find a hidden corner to hide first, and at the moment of crisis, the movements and reactions of King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong were very agile, and his judgment was also very decisive. By the time Keiji Shibasaki led his troops into the hospital to search for it, the hiding had been completed, and the rebels found nothing at allβthey could not find anyone, nor could they find the doctor who had been in contact with King Hiroko Fushimi today, nor could they get valuable information from other patients, so they could only use clumsy methods to search room by room and ward.
But they were unfamiliar with the hospital, and only hurriedly searched the most superficial buildings, and had no clue about the rest. The only thing that is certain is that Fushiminomiya must still be in the hospital, because his car was found by the rebels in a secret place, and Shibasaki Keiji decided not to move the car for a long time.
Matsuda Chiaki inquired about the situation in detail, and after thinking for a few minutes, he said, "Since we have already caught the grass and startled the snake, let's withdraw the troops first and hold the surroundings." β
"Why?"
"I'll talk to you later, do what I say first, I have a way, and I won't harm you."
"Good!"
A few minutes later, all the personnel were evacuated, and the hospitalized officers did not know what was going on, and gathered at the entrance of the hospital, in the corridor, probing their brains, and asking each other, no one could tell why, but they understood that the emperor was begging for thieves, and they heard that it was Chief Horikichi who took the lead, and the hero of Tarawa, Keiji Shibasaki, led the team, and many people were eager to try, and their hearts were full of excitement. The impatient officers, especially those who served in the Combined Fleet, screamed and pounced for strips of cloth, and turned into rebels. Keiji Shibasaki brought 1,500 people, and after tossing for more than half an hour, the target was not found, but the team expanded to 1,800 people.
Keiji Shibasaki pulled Chiaki Matsuda to a secret place and said, "Let's talk about it now." β
The other man nodded, but said something he didn't want to hear.
