After a week of training, Akamatsu Sadaaki drove a signature Mercedes-Benz sedan parked at the door, enthusiastically helping Saburo Sakai with his luggage while settling him into the car. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the combined fleet returned to China, according to the instructions of Horiyoshi and Tsukahara, all outstanding carrier-based aircraft pilots, including Akamatsu Sadaaki, entered various air units for training, and Akamatsu Sadaaki and Saburo Sakai were assigned to the Tupu Naval Aviation School, which mainly trains fighter pilots, as instructors.

Akamatsu Sadaaki was just about to return to the cab, when he suddenly saw two more trainees coming, so he greeted warmly: "Ota and Takagi, didn't you two ask for leave to go to the city?" Let's get in the car and go. ”

"Yes...... "Ota and Takagi, who were holding the rank of trainees, got into the car at a loss, and then said worriedly, "Well, how can we let the chief drive for us?" ”

"Thinking too much, although your plane drives well, but you can't drive the car......" Akamatsu Sadaaki laughed, "My driving skills are very good, if you really have the heart, practice your combat skills well, and when you get on the ship in the future, you can have combat achievements, and you can also ask the Führer to give you one when you go to Europe, maybe when I get old and can't drive a car, I can still get the two of you ......"

The two were excited: "Yes! We will train hard to master the tactics and techniques taught by our superiors, and we will also make a contribution to the empire in the future! ”

The trainees and instructors of the whole base all know that Akamatsu Sadaaki has a Mercedes-Benz car, which he brought back from Europe, and I heard that it was specially given by the German head of state in recognition of his outstanding military achievements, and the title of "the first ace of HNA", coupled with the background of the imperial officer, has given this instructor a status of worship among the students. Akamatsu Sadaaki first sent Saburo Sakai to the place, and then said, "I'll pick you up on Sunday night, or is it the old time?" ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for your trouble."

"Where, where, as it should be, as it should be."

"Sir, I see that you are very polite to Chief Sakai, and often pick him up."

"Something unusual?"

"This, indeed, in terms of qualifications, status, and military rank, you ......" Daejeon is a student directly under Akamatsu Sadaaki, who is a little more affectionate in comparison, and does not have so many scruples when he speaks.

"It's shallow to look at it that way."

"Is it because you have a very good relationship?"

"Actually, I didn't know him before, he was born in the Kasumigaura Air Force, and then went to the Kaohsiung Air Force as a land-based pilot, and then transferred to a carrier-based aircraft pilot......" Akamatsu Sadaaki said with a smile, "You want to know?" ”

"Yes, many people in the school want to know, they don't dare to ask, I'm more outspoken, I can't hide my words, the chief won't dislike me, right?" Ota asked.

"It's because he's an instructor."

"This ...... What is the reason for this? Aren't you also an instructor? ”

"I'm different, I'll go back to the army in a few months, but he'll stay in the Air Force Training Preparatory Section forever." Akamatsu Sadaaki said solemnly, "Do you know what Chief Sakai did during his stay in Europe? ”

"No, the chief is very low-key, he didn't say much, he just said that he also participated in a few battles, and he didn't have many meritorious contributions, so he was far worse than you."

"That's his modesty and low profile. Do you know that Chief Sakai's skills are not inferior to mine, although he is blind in one eye, but in the air battle, he still piloted a fighter plane to shoot down 11 planes with one blind eye, and even covered me several times, and once even risked his life to attract enemy firepower to help me get out of trouble, otherwise there is no first trump card of HNA, I would have been soaked in the sea water a long time ago......" Akamatsu Sadaaki recalled with emotion, "Sakai-kun was sick at home, It was Chief of Staff Hori who entrusted Chief of Staff Kusaka to personally write a letter asking him to transfer from a land-based pilot to a carrier-based aircraft team, and in just two weeks, he mastered all the skills of getting on the ship. That special move of the sweeping trio was the first to be created by him. ”

"Wow!" The two exclaimed.

"Such an excellent soldier chooses to teach in the rear, do you think he is evading his responsibilities and fearing sacrifice? But for the sake of the interests of the entire empire and the fleet, he gave up the opportunity to be in the limelight, and was not even willing to publicize his merits in front of you, and silently carried out the training mission. Only a clever instructor can bring out excellent students, and in the future, I will lead the troops to have a steady stream of excellent soldiers available, so I want to be especially grateful to him - what is it to pick him up and forth? What's more, there aren't many such days. ”

"Taught."

"It is estimated that when the commander goes into battle again, it will be the day when the United States will be completely defeated and surrendered...... I'm really looking forward to it, but it's a pity that we don't learn well, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up. Daejeon looked at him with infinite longing and adoration.

"It's not even close."

"What?"

"For example, Ota and Takagi, you don't know how to drive, do you?"

"No, it won't." The two shook their heads.

"I asked the captured American pilots, they all know how to drive, many of them have touched cars when they are teenagers, small cars, big trucks, even tanks have been touched, and even many of them used to fly pesticide planes to spray pesticides on the fields, and there are at least 2-30 million people in the whole United States who can drive cars, right? But in Japan, not to mention driving, people who have ever sat in a car don't know if there are 20 or 30 million. You say, is it easier to select pilots from among those who can drive or from those who can't drive? ”

"But......" Takagi asked suspiciously, "everyone admits that the rice country is very strong, with developed industry and abundant materials, but even so, the Imperial Navy still beat them to the ground." ”

"That's because the people of the rice country have met Chief Horikichi and Chief Tsukahara, and it is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is difficult to find a general! Otherwise, why was the Battle of Midway a fiasco? Later, the South Pacific, East Africa, and the Caribbean Sea were won, and it was still these warships, or these people, and they won the war with a change of commander, do you understand the difference......" Akamatsu Sadaaki sighed, "It's just that now the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings!" ”

Ota and Takagi did not dare to squeak this sentence, the pilots were not blind, they could see and hear many things, and they also understood the stakes clearly. The so-called mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, not just happening, but is already ongoing.

Soon after Akamatsu Sadaaki joined the Tupu Naval Aviation School, he frequently drove this Mercedes-Benz in and out of the school, and the principal Matsushita Daisa looked at him with great enthusiasm and openly asked for it, of course, the name was very good -- "borrow it for a few days", according to the past, a low-ranking officer like Akamatsu Sadaaki could only hand it in in a reluctant voice, but Akamatsu Sadaaki just didn't hand it over, and even argued, openly saying, "This is the car that the Führer gave me, and I earned the car with my ability, so why should I borrow it from you?" Even Chief Onishi of the Aviation Headquarters didn't have such thoughts! ”

Matsushita Daisaaki came to the dark, desperately grabbed Akamatsu Sadaaki's pigtails to condemn him, what "disrespectful to the elder", "proud of merit", "against the boss", and tried to ask the head of the military command department to sell the good Fushimi Palace Hirokoshi - he knew that at the welcome ceremony that day, Hori Yoshiki used Akamatsu Sadaaki to use the German rank to satirize King Fushimi Palace.

The news soon let Horikichi and Yamamoto Fifty-six know, Yamamoto was furious, Horikichi found Onishi Takijiro, and his attitude was very kind, but the words he said made the latter's face change when he heard it: "Onishi-kun, on the one hand, you instigated the young soldiers to serve the country and fight to the death, and on the other hand, you allowed your subordinates to snatch the rewards of the front-line soldiers...... If you continue like this, will you have peace of mind for the rest of your life? ”

According to eyewitnesses, Lieutenant General Takijiro Onishi walked out of the governor's office crying bitterly, and an hour later, the angry Onishi flew to the school, not only directly removed Matsushita from his post and ordered him to be transferred to the reserve, but also crackled and slapped dozens of times in public, beating the other party in the face like a pig's head.

But in fact, Matsushita has a backstage, and his backstage is Admiral Kazukawa Koshiro, who used to be the head of the aviation headquarters and is now the governor of Yokosuka Town, and he went to Kazukawa Koshiro that night to cry, meaning "the big dog also depends on the master", and Kazukawa Koshiro was already fighting because of Horikichi's thorough reform, and now he thinks that Horikichi is playing on the topic and deliberately wants to sweep his face, so he came forward to ask Onishi to take back his fate. Onishi refused, and the two argued, and then the quarrel escalated to the level of Horiyoshi and Yamamoto, and finally it was over.

Kazukawa, who didn't win the quarrel, was furious, so he simply took the dismissed Matsushita to the Yokosuka Town Guard Mansion and rearranged his duties, and the whole thing was in an uproar. The incident was supposed to continue to ferment and brew, but it was suddenly replaced by the Tsukahara political donation incident (Navy B incident), which was very empty, and the hot spot suddenly shifted.

After Tsukahara 243 returned to Japan, according to Hori's arrangement, he took a large amount of extra money from Germany and bought a luxury villa on the outskirts of Tokyo to live in.

Horikichi was advised not to do this, but the latter retorted: "Why should some high-ranking generals of the army be corrupt and bribe-taking, and my subordinates can't even use the rewards they receive through regular channels?" Like Tsukahara, a general who has made great achievements for the empire has such a hard time, why should I let my other subordinates go forward bravely? Is it just to live a hard life as a big and lieutenant general? ”

King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong seized on this point to attack Tsukahara for accepting "political donations", but Tsukahara Ken did not admit it, and was unwilling to let Horikichi take the responsibility, but chose to suspend himself for investigation - in order to achieve its goal, the Military Command Department even did not hesitate to go to Cole, hoping to open a gap from the German side, Cole had Hoffmann's orders, of course he would not admit it, so the investigation could not proceed. However, King Fushimi Miyahiro refused to declare the end of the investigation, leaving Tsukahara's de facto suspension to continue, which also gave Horikichi a premonition that his days as commander of the Combined Fleet were short......
