Moreover, at this time, Minister Ribbentrop had already arrived at the agreed place in the Pacific Ocean and the Japanese army on the aircraft carrier fleet to prepare for a transaction.

However, at this time, the Japanese army was trying to avoid the detection of the American army, so they took some more detours and did not meet and trade with the German aircraft carrier fleet on which Minister Ribbentrop was riding in time.

In this regard, Minister Ribbentrop also unceremoniously sent a telegram of protest to Hideki Tojo, who was angry with the navy, and to Emperor Hirohito in the Japanese Imperial Palace.

In fact, Minister Ribbentrop did not do this entirely because he was angry at the unpunctuality of the Japanese army, but also worried about their safety.

Because once they do not complete the transaction of arms and munitions materials with the Japanese army within a certain period of time, and are detected by the US fleet or reconnaissance aircraft group, then their situation will be more dangerous, and they will engage the US aircraft carrier fleet at any time, which means that they may suffer a lot of casualties among naval officers and ships, as well as carrier-based aircraft.

That's why Minister Ribbentrop was so dissatisfied with the Japanese army's late behavior, but he didn't pay attention to the Japanese army's difficulties.

Because when Vice Admiral Spruance and the others launched the electric current combat operation, the skies around the Gilbert Islands and the Marshall Islands were all turned into a world of US aircraft, and the Japanese army's air supremacy was basically abolished by the US military, and they could only watch the US military indiscriminately bomb all the Japanese defense islands and military facilities in the area.

At the same time, the Japanese fleet was also being deployed to support the Majin Atoll, which was in danger and would be fully occupied by the US military at any time.

Moreover, even if they had already set off and were moving forward at a rapid pace, preparing to join up with the German aircraft carrier fleet of Minister Ribbentrop, the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet and the transport fleet were often detected by the US reconnaissance fleet.

If they hadn't bought some radars from the Germans that could be equipped on ships, I'm afraid they would have been targeted by the US aircraft carrier fleet and surrounded for siege.

However, even so, the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet fought no less than eight large and small battles with the US fleet and their aircraft groups intermittently, and they also lost a lot of carrier-based aircraft and ships, especially transport ships.

If they hadn't fled quickly, I'm afraid the losses would have been even greater.

Of course, before that, they had also inflicted certain casualties on the US fleet, and if the US fleet had not discovered and pursued them, it would not have suddenly stopped attacking and did not continue to desperately pursue them.

"Yaga! Hurry up and make your way to the damned German anchorage, they are complaining to Prime Minister Hideki Tojo and His Majesty the Emperor that we are too slow! ”

"That damn Minister Ribbentrop, if it weren't for their new weaponry, I wouldn't have left it like this! I hate being complained about! ”

When Vice Admiral Toyoda, who was in command of the aircraft carrier fleet preparing to go to the berthing place of Minister Ribbentrop's German aircraft carrier fleet, saw that he had received the urging order from Hideki Tojo and Emperor Hirohito, he immediately became furious and shouted like thunder.

For him, who is also considered the No. 1 famous person in the Japanese Navy, when did he ever suffer such a thing as being stabbed in the back by others, and was reprimanded by Emperor Hirohito, and a series of reprimands of several telegrams.

Therefore, for him, who once commanded the Fourth and Second Fleets to participate in the war of aggression against China, and was promoted to general in 1941, and successively served as the commander of the Kure Town Mansion and the commander of the Yokosuka Town Guard Mansion, he felt extremely unhappy and qualified to be angry.

Because in the original historical time and space, he succeeded Admiral Koga Mineichi as the new commander of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet after his plane crashed.

If it weren't for Emperor Hirohito, and the current Navy Headquarters, including the new Commander of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, Commander Koga Mineichi; He attached great importance to the German army's deal with new weapons and equipment this time, and it was absolutely impossible for him to lead the aircraft carrier fleet and the transport fleet to meet Minister Ribbentrop at a time when the war in the Pacific was in full swing.

With the fury and irritability of Vice Admiral Toyoda, the aircraft carrier fleet led by him also accelerated towards the island where the aircraft carrier fleet was located with Minister Ribbentrop.

However, at this moment, an American fleet discovered their whereabouts and sent this big news to Admiral Nimitz, asking for operational instructions.
