Chapter 976: The Devil's Plan Z
Yamamoto Fifty-six stood respectfully in front of the Emperor.
The emperor did not speak, and the plan of the Admiralty had already been proposed, but the emperor had not made up his mind to go to war on two fronts.
The Admiralty has been preparing, and the Emperor knows about it, otherwise, Yamamoto Isoroku would not have been able to stand on top of this Imperial Council.
At this time, Shiro Kawakoro also stood up.
"Your Majesty, General Yamamoto's strategists and others have also carefully researched and believe that it is indeed feasible, although Plan Z has an element of adventure in it, but after all, the empire has to take risks now."
"Because of the defeat in the Battle of China and the blockade of the United States, the empire's domestic fuel reserves are now less than half a year, if we don't make up our minds, once the fuel is exhausted, it will be impossible for the empire to carry out the plan even if it wants to."
"Your Majesty, you know that the blockade of the Empire by the United States of America has caused the Empire to suffer terribly."
"Originally, we could still rely on the resources of the branch to support it, but now that Okamura Ninji is dead, it means that the complete failure of the China incident is getting closer and closer, although the minister does not want to see this scene, but after all, this is the truth."
"Now the empire has fully turned from defense to offense, but if we don't open up new resources quickly, we are afraid that we will be trapped to death, and if we want to open up the Myitkyina battlefield, then we must solve the threat of the United States."
"There is a saying that the people of China have a very good saying, the first strike is strong, and then the first attack suffers!"
The emperor frowned slightly, these truths have been told to him many times by the ministers, so, in fact, he understands everything, but it is another thing to understand and make up his mind.
The United States is not a country, and if it provokes it, the empire will face a formidable enemy.
Although the emperor had great confidence in his army, he was also well aware of the strength of his enemies.
But now, it seems that there is no choice!
Domestic fuel reserves have reached the crisis line, and if they are not solved, I am afraid that in a few months, there will be almost no solution to it.
"Yamamoto Qingjia, your plan has been perfected and your training is sufficient?"
Suddenly, the emperor opened his mouth and asked Yamamoto Isoroku.
As soon as he heard this, Yamamoto immediately rejoiced in his heart, and immediately replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has made all preparations. ”
Yamamoto is a typical adventurer, and is very keen on gambling, this guy is very serious about gambling and luck, no matter what he does, he likes to think with a bit of gambling thinking!
Moreover, the United States itself has provided Yamamoto with some feasible references, as early as 21, the United States had a book on maritime supremacy in the Pacific, and four years later, there was also a book called the Great Pacific War.
Here, the plot at the beginning is to talk about the situation of Japan's military attacks on Pearl Harbor, Guam and other places.
Yamamoto Fifty-Six had read both of these books, and decided that the Empire was capable of accomplishing the scenarios described in them!
Moreover, the ending will inevitably be better described in the book, and it can be said that the inspiration for the entire Project Z comes from this!
Previously, under the acquiescence of the Navy Headquarters, Yamamoto Fifty-six secretly conducted several trainings, and the results of the training were also unexpectedly good.
At this time, Yamamoto Fifty-six can be said to have a certain victory.
"But, Yamamoto, although it is true that your plan will give the Empire a huge advantage and opportunity after victory, have you ever thought that Pearl Harbor is a full three thousand five hundred nautical miles away from the Empire! Can your fleet still grow wings and fly over? ”
"Or do you think those Americanes are stupid enough to take no precautions and let your fleet swagger through?"
"Yamamoto, don't treat the United States as an opponent like China, the people of China don't even have a warship, even if the Imperial Navy swaggers over, they can only stare dryly, but the United States has a powerful fleet, if they intercept it, or your plan fails, then the empire will inevitably be dragged into the quagmire!"
"Yamamoto, you have to be clear, the empire can't afford it!"
One of the ministers stood up and said to Yamamoto.
Of course, in fact, many devil generals now think like this, they question Yamamoto's plan, not to mention the army, even among the navy ministers, there are many people who are skeptical.
After all, a 3,500-mile leap is an unimaginably huge moat.
You know, at a distance of 3,500 nautical miles, it is necessary to ensure that the fleet will never be detected!
Because Pearl Harbor is only 2,000 nautical miles from the United States, once discovered, the United States can quickly come to its aid.
Besides, if it is discovered and cannot attack the Pacific Fleet of the United States of America in Pearl Harbor in one fell swoop, then the plan will be considered a failure!
Yamamoto Fifty-six looked at everyone, and then said with some pride: "I understand your concerns, but you can rest assured, Nangumo Zhong has already sent merchant ships and civilian ships to conduct a detailed survey of the sea area early in the morning, and I can complete the plan with full confidence!" ”
"Or do you only care about your own political achievements and not the survival of the empire?"
"Is there a choice left for the Empire now? Venture? No, I'm not taking risks, but I'm well prepared! ”
"Your Majesty, please believe that this plan will definitely succeed!"
Yamamoto Fifty-six had a proud look on his face, and there was a hint of madness in this look.
Suddenly, the emperor suddenly stood up, and immediately, all the ministers of both the Army Headquarters and the Navy Headquarters also stood up.
Emperor Oniko was silent, walking back and forth with a thoughtful look on his face.
After a full ten minutes, he turned around, looked at Yamamoto Fifty-six, and said, "Okay, your plan, you can start executing!" ”
The tone was not too excited, but the meaning of his words was huge!
Yamamoto Fifty-six had a happy face, and immediately bowed and saluted: "Hey, Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will bring back good news." ”
At the end of the meeting, Yamamoto gave the order as quickly as possible.
Nagumo Tadaichi, who had been preparing for a long time, naturally did not hesitate at all, and with an order, a huge fleet drove out of the Devil's Island.
This is a powerful fleet with six aircraft carriers, two battleships as the core, and even eight oil tankers in the fleet to complete this 3,500 nautical mile voyage.
The fleet did not stop at all, and according to the already proven channel, it went straight to Pearl Harbor.
Just a few hours after departure, the entire fleet was completely radio-off, and the fleet remained silent from today until the results of the plan were known.
And the devils can only wait for the result in silence.
So what are Americans doing at this time?
