Yokosuka Port in mainland Japan.

Yamamoto Fifty-six and his henchman Minoru Genda sat opposite each other at the desk, and Yamamoto stared down at the telegram on the desktop in a daze.

The telegram was concise and to the point.

"Nagumo Zhongyi, you bald, even if you run fast, don't let me meet you again."

Yamamoto stared at the telegram he had just intercepted more than ten times before he raised his head and said to Minoru Genda: "From this telegram, we can know that Nagumo's dull guy has lost the battle again. Even more unpleasant than the defeat was that he deepened General Rosen's misunderstanding of us, and General Rosen was angry at this time, and this is what we must be concerned about. ”

Minoru Genda said sadly: "Yes, General, we have one less ally General Rosen on our side, and one more comrade-in-arms General Rosen from the allies, which adds up to two less General Rosen than the allies, and the battle situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for us." ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six spewed out two rough breaths from his nose, and continued with a straight face: "We don't know how much General Lawson has caused to Nagumo this time, huh······ Let's not talk about this, are there any new movements of the Allies in the eastern part of the Pacific? ”

"The defenders of Midway reported that Allied long-range reconnaissance planes had recently been regularly present over the islands, as well as on the Fiji Islands, indicating that a major Allied offensive was being planned. Personally, I think that the Fiji Islands should be their main direction of attack. ”

Yamamoto fifty-six nodded: "I also think so, the large-scale counteroffensive of the Allied forces must be launched from Australia." They definitely wanted to retake the Fiji Islands and unblock the supply lines. ”

"The Second Mobile Fleet under the command of General Yamaguchi has been repaired for nearly half a year, and if there is danger on the Fiji Islands, it can go to reinforcements at any time. Speaking of which, I'm most worried about General Rosen, and if he does his best against us, it will really be a disaster. Although I didn't have a lot of time with him, I could clearly feel that his way of thinking was different, and we couldn't infer his actions with common sense. Minoru Genda said.

Hearing Minoru Genda's words, Yamamoto Fifty-six was silent for a while, and suddenly stood up.

"Don't think about those meaningless things anymore, I won't wait for Nagumo to return, let's go back to Truk, you go and arrange the plane."

Minoru Genda got up and walked to the door of the office, opened the door, only to see a staff officer who raised his hand and was about to knock on the door.

Minoru Genda took the telegram from the staff officer and personally handed it to Yamamoto Isoroku.

Yamamoto fifty-six took the telegram, and as soon as he saw the beginning of the telegram, his brows instantly twisted into a pimple.

As he read the telegram line by line, Minoru Genda clearly saw that the pimple on Commander Yamamoto's brow slowly relaxed, and his whole face actually emitted a red light.

After reading the telegram, Yamamoto Isoroku raised his red face and said to Minoru Genda: "This morning, Nagumo and General Rosen had a friendly exchange, and the result of the exchange was that our battleships Hiei and Kirishima were sunk, and the German Gneisenau was sunk. Also, our aircraft carrier Kaga is seriously damaged and could sink at any time. ”

Is this a friendly exchange? When did Commander Yamamoto become so humorous, and it was black humor.

Seeing Minoru Genda looking at him with a confused expression, Yamamoto handed the telegram in his hand to Genda.

"Gentian-kun, you're right, General Rosen's thinking can't be measured by common sense, and he is the real China expert. Compared to General Rosen, the self-proclaimed China experts in the army red deer are really just a herd of red deer. ”

Minoru Genda looked at the telegram and muttered to himself: "Bitter meat plan, fraud plan, serial plan, two-headed snake operation, so it is, so it is, the battle can still be fought like this, General Rosen is worthy of Diablo, and he has the determination of a strong man to break his wrist, and he does not hesitate to take a ship Gneisenau in exchange for the trust of the allies." ”

Yamamoto waited for Minoru Genda to read the telegram, and then said: "According to the information provided by General Rosen, the Pacific Fleet of the British Royal Navy will set out from Hawaii tomorrow to attack Midway, and we must get ahead of them, after all, we are far away from Midway. A telegram was sent to the 2nd Mobile Fleet, telling them to set off in two hours to ambush the Royal Navy at Midway, with a specific battle plan drawn up on the way. ”

Minoru Genda picked up the pen and paper on the table and quickly wrote the telegram and handed it to Yamamoto, who nodded after reading it and said: "Just send it according to this content, we won't go to Truk, we will wait here for Nagumo to come back, and then cooperate with him to play a trick." ”

······

Four days later, a telegram flew out of the Strait of Malacca.

About twenty minutes later, Minoru Genda hurried into Yamamoto's office with a telegram and handed the telegram to Yamamoto Fifty-six.

"General, General Nagumo's fleet has entered the Strait of Malacca, and the death plan can be implemented."

Yamamoto Fifty-six nodded after reading the telegram and said, "Very good, say hello to the propaganda department, those prepared news can be released." ”

Following Yamamoto's order, the Japanese press, which had long been poised to make a move, and the mainstream media, led by the Yomiuri Shimbun, the Asahi Shimbun, and Radio Tokyo, published one after another the news that General Nagumo had won a major victory in the Indian Ocean sweeping battle under the leadership of the First Mobile Fleet.

In this Indian Ocean sweeping battle, the 1st Mobile Fleet led by General Nagumo fought with the Italian Indian Ocean Fleet and the German 2nd Aircraft Carrier Formation.

During the engagement, the 1st Mobile Fleet sank two aircraft carriers, HMS Eagle and Sparrowhawk, two battleships HMS Cavour and USS Caesar, battlecruiser Gneisenau, and eleven light warships.

The 1st Mobile Fleet lost two Kongo-class battleships, the Hiei and Kirishima, the aircraft carrier Kaga, and six light warships.

Admiral Nagumo Tadaichi led the 1st Mobile Fleet to a major victory with outnumbered enemies and was honorably wounded.

Four days earlier, the German mainland had already sent out the good news, General Rosen and the 2nd Aircraft Carrier Squadron met the Japanese Navy's 1st Mobile Fleet in the Indian Ocean, and won a major victory in sinking two Japanese Kongo-class battleships and an aircraft carrier of unknown type at the cost of the sinking of the battlecruiser Gneisenau and three destroyers.

After four days, the battle reports from the two warring sides corroborated each other, and the aircraft carrier Kaga was successfully "sunk" by mouth guns.

When the Japanese mainland, who did not know the truth, celebrated the great victory of the Indian Ocean Sweep War, a high-quality imitation of the Kaga aircraft carrier, named Kamikaze, joined the Japanese Combined Fleet in the combat sequence, and under the command of Nagumo Tadaichi, along with the rest of the warships of the First Mobile Fleet, sailed smoothly through the Strait of Malacca and was marching towards the Japanese mainland.
