729 is ready to fly

(Please...... No, please watch it later)

As early as 23 June, the "mobile force" commanded by Vice Admiral Nagumo Tadaichi of the Japanese Navy, including six aircraft carriers, two fast battleships equipped with 14-inch guns, two heavy cruisers, one light cruiser, nine destroyers, three oil tankers, and one supply ship, had assembled and made final preparations for the voyage in accordance with Yamamoto's instructions.

On June 24, Yamamoto Isoroku issued a top-secret operational order to Nagumo Tadaichi: "The mobile unit must set out on June 25, try to maintain the concealment of its operations, and enter the standby sea area on the evening of July 2 and complete refueling." 1”

Therefore, at 6 o'clock in the morning of 25 June, Nagumo Tadaichi led a fleet codenamed "Mobile Force" to anchor and leave the port, and three submarines built according to German technology were the leading ships to quietly sail over the North Pacific Ocean, and to the standby sea area at 42 degrees north latitude and 170 degrees west longitude in concealment.

Will be there, they will wait for the final order to attack, and then make a move against the United States, a country that has always been out of the war! .

On June 25, Japan's aircraft carrier fleet was already on its way to Pearl Harbor. Tokyo could not wait for Germany to formally sign the Treaty of Warfare with the United States.

As a result, Hiroshi Oshima, the Japanese ambassador to Germany, received instructions to immediately ask the Germans to sign the agreement declaring war on the United States.

On the same day that Hiroshi Oshima received this instruction, the Japanese Foreign Minister also held talks with the German ambassador in Tokyo. He stressed to the German ambassador that the Washington talks had broken down because Japan had refused to make concessions to the United States demanding that it be away from the German-Italian-dominated Iron Allied military bloc. Japan hopes that Germany will correctly assess this sacrifice it has made for the common cause.

Of course, German Ambassador Ott naturally did not believe such a statement. The Japanese government is not stupid, and they will not fall out with the United States for the sake of the interests of Germany and Italy, let alone for the interests of the Allies.

Ota bets that if the United States abandons its oil embargo on Japan, the country may even be able to do something that calls the American imperialists a godfather.

However, the current Japanese Foreign Minister Togo is still trying to convince the German ambassador Ott: "The last moment has come to make a serious decision!" The United States is seriously preparing for war...... Although Japan is not afraid of the breakdown of negotiations, we also hope that if that happens, Germany and Italy will stand firmly on Japan's side, as the two heads of state have promised. ”

In response to such a request, Ott, as a diplomatic ambassador, also fully learned from Ribbentrop's experience and agreed to the Japanese request.

In a telegram to Berlin, he said: "I replied to him that Germany's position on the future was beyond doubt. The Japanese Foreign Minister then said, "He understood from my words that Germany would consider its relations with Japan to be of common destiny under these circumstances." After that, I replied that, in my opinion, Germany would of course like to have a mutual agreement between the two countries in such a situation. “

Under Ott's repeated assurances, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs reassured a little. They thought that what the German government had promised and what the Führer had personally promised would not be a problem.

At the same time, Hiroshi Oshima, who had just arrived in Austria and was preparing to participate in the Mozart Festival, also rushed back to Berlin in a hurry.

(I'm sorry, it's a special situation today, so please refresh the first one.) )
