Chapter 698: Hideki Tojo, who loses his naval temper

Just as the German army, under the command of Guderian, was in full swing towards the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas with the strongest and most ferocious force, the battle between the Japanese army and the American army in the Pacific Ocean was also very fierce.

Theoretically, the biggest natural enemy of an aircraft carrier should be the incoming aviation force, especially the air force that is attacked by the enemy.

It's just that in the Pacific War that began in November 1943, no matter how many Japanese planes Japan sent to launch various surprise attacks on US aircraft carriers, there was no way to cause much damage to the US aircraft carrier group, and even the Japanese aircraft group suffered a lot of casualties.

But this loss was not the most troublesome for the Japanese Navy, and the thing that made them even more nerve-wracking was the frog-jumping tactics that began in June 1943.

It is MacArthur, Halsey, and others who proposed that under the condition that the strength of the Pacific theater is limited, the US military will carry out amphibious landing operations under the cover of the huge air force; That is, instead of adopting the strategy of recovering all the islands, we will use the strategy of leapfrogging to avoid the strongholds of the Japanese army, carry out amphibious landings on those islands where the Japanese forces are weakly defended, and then use the strong engineering capabilities and material supplies of the US military to quickly establish airfields and ports for advancement, and then carry out a naval and air blockade of the bypassed Japanese strongholds.

In the face of the U.S. military's recovery of an island, it immediately jumps over the next island; Then they captured the next island, and for the Japanese army, MacArthur's frog jumping tactics were definitely hitting the Achilles heel of the Japanese army.

Because once the U.S. military completes the leapfrog tactics and deploys airfields on the islands occupied by the U.S. military, then the U.S. B-29 and even the B-24 bomber group will be able to fly to the remaining Japanese islands and even the Japanese mainland for bombing.

Therefore, once the Japanese army loses places such as Mariana and Biak, then the Japanese army will die faster in the Pacific theater, and the defeat will be faster and faster.

So whether it is Ozawa, Kusaka or Toyota, or Koga, Tsunoda, Fukuru Shigeru and other high-ranking figures in the navy, as well as the Japanese base camp, and Eijo Toki are all the same. The ants on the hot pot are as anxious as they are, and they intend to swear to ensure the defense of the absolute defense circle, which will never be broken by the US military.

Therefore, when the second battle of Majin Atoll began, especially when the troops deployed by Japan were about to be completely annihilated, Hideki Tojo, who was far away in Tokyo, could not sit still as soon as he received such unfavorable news.

In addition, more than 50 urgent telegrams were sent to Shigetaro Shimada, Zeno Okaku, Kiyoshi Hasegawa, Gengo Hyakutake, Vice Takeshi Toyoda, Sadajiro Toyoda, Hirohiro Fushimiya, Chief Keisuke Okada, Mineichi Koga, Miyoshi Takahashi, Takeo Takagi and others from the Navy Headquarters to inquire about the state of the war.

It's a pity that for his impatience, even thunder, the generals of the Navy Headquarters are very tactful to report good news to him and not bad news.

At least in the major defeats, he and the Japanese base camp were not immediately reported in a timely manner.

For the navy's approach, Hideki Tojo was also very relieved to be coaxed, but when the Germans, under Chen Yanlong's instructions, gave Hideki Tojo the truth of his matter, he was restless again.

But he didn't have any henchmen in the navy, even if he asked King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong, they couldn't ask what the situation was, so Tojo Hideki could only communicate and communicate with the German army assigned by Chen Yanlong.

And I also hope that the other side can have a good way to give him good suggestions to solve the second battle of the US army in Makin Atoll and other places.

The Germans' reply was to speed up the process of transporting the new weapons and equipment they had sold to the Japanese as soon as possible, and to ask Hideki Tojo to immediately dispatch more troops to receive the weapons and equipment.

And when the Japanese have the weapons and equipment, then they will be able to counterattack the American army.

Even if they can't defeat the U.S. military, they can inflict heavy losses on the U.S. military, inflict heavy casualties on them, and give the Japanese army a respite.

Of course, it was just a respite, because if it weren't for President Roosevelt's support of most of the troops, weapons and equipment to the European theater and the Eastern Front; Then the Japanese army had long been defeated by the American army and the British army, and the Soviet army had fled.

When Hideki Tojo received a reply from the German troops sent by Chen Yanlong, he also hurriedly dispatched his troops.

As for the navy, he couldn't hold back his temper, and scolded the other party, and after insulting a large number of admirals for a long time, he stopped angrily.

Because of his angry abuse, those admirals only reacted coldly and did not take him seriously.

"Yaga! These damn navy! ”

"Wait and see, I'm going to give you something nice!"

"Concealing such an important military situation from me and not reporting it, this is the rhythm that is going to kill me!"

In the end, Hideki Tojo was only able to kick the table in his own home and throw things to lose his temper and vent.

And the most uncomfortable person is Hideki Tojo's wife, who can only watch him lose his temper, but there is nothing he can do.
