"Rudolph, there's a guest at home tonight. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

After Hesman Jr. finished talking about his idea of a "suicide plane", he suddenly talked about the guests in his office.

"The guest is ......"

Hersman smiled and pointed to Lieutenant General Heyer and Colonel Hinze, and said, "These two gentlemen will be guests at the manor, and there will be two Japanese friends." ”

"Japanese friends?" Little Hersman looked at his father, and he knew that "Japanese friends" must be more important figures, and tonight's dinner was likely to be a "diplomatic event".

"Japanese Ambassador to Berlin Hiroshi Oshima and Japanese Navy Minoru Minoru Nakasa." Hersman said, "Minoru Genda is an elite officer in the Japanese naval aviation, and his current position is a staff officer of the Combined Fleet. ”

"Combined Fleet Staff Officer?" Little Hersman thought for a moment and asked, "He came to learn about the Battle of Shetland?" ”

Hersman nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, they are preparing to fight a Pacific war with the United States, and they need to master the latest tactics of world naval warfare." ”

As a matter of fact, Japan has not yet made up its mind to start a war with the United States. Negotiations with the United States continued, and Japan proposed the terms of the withdrawal of troops from French Indochina for the "Japan-US Alliance" and the "Joint Defense G." However, Hersman was very sure that Japan's request would be rejected by the United States, because the "common defense G" was directed against the Soviet Union. Now that the United States and Britain are sparing no effort to win over the Soviet Union, how can they offend the big Soviet Union because of a small Japan?

And when Japan will attack the United States depends on their oil reserves, but also on the progress of the war in Europe.

"They want to go to war with the United States?" Little Hersman's eyes widened, "God, I heard you right, right? The Japanese are going to commit suicide? ”

Hersman shrugged, "It's 'death and life'...... The military thought of the Orientals. ”

"That must be wrong." Little Hersman still shook his head.

"But it's good for us for Japan to do that." Hesman did not intend to discuss any "art of war" with his son, but he said bluntly, "Rudolph, we must convince the Japanese that with a small number of elite pilots, they can win air supremacy in the Pacific, and if they win air supremacy, they can win the Pacific." ”

Hirschman Jr. said seriously: "It depends on how few of their pilots are and how elite they are." ”

Hersman replied: "They have about hundreds of highly trained carrier-based pilots with a level of skill comparable to yours. In addition, they have 4 large fleet aircraft carriers, and another 2 will be completed in September this year. As for the aircraft, at the moment the main ones are the Zero, Type 99 dive bombers and a monoplane torpedo bomber with decent performance. ”

"The Fokker Zero still has an advantage," Hesman Jr. pondered, "but the Type 99 is not as good as the SBD dive bomber, and the American TBD torpedo bomber is also a monoplane." The Japanese have an advantage in the short term, but once the war becomes prolonged, the United States will be a rather formidable enemy. ”

Hersman nodded and said, "So the Japanese should have developed suicide weapons early, the kind of planes that you mentioned that can fly horizontally to hit battleships, and the British dreadnought man-operated torpedoes are very suitable for Japan." ”

Imperial Marshal Hersmann, of course, was sincerely planning for his Japanese friends, because he knew that Japan's national strength was far inferior to that of the United States. Since there is a huge difference in national strength, Japan should no longer have reservations, but must go all out from the beginning and take all the extreme measures that can be taken!

Naturally, this includes launching a suicide attack! For European and American countries, which attach more importance to human life, suicide attacks are just talking, and if they really do it, it will definitely cause great resistance. But the situation in Japan is different, Japan is not a Christian country, and suicide is not a taboo. Moreover, it seems that it is still a relatively honorable thing to serve the emperor and kill himself to become a god.

And this was one of Japan's great advantages, which of course should have been fully exploited at the beginning of the war. Historically, the Japanese did not realize until 1944 that it was a huge strategic mistake to engage in a kamikaze.

Moreover, piloting an airplane to crash into a warship is a technical task, and it is not a so-so attempt to use a Zero plane with explosives to hit an aircraft carrier. It was a worthless suicide, and it was simply impossible to sink an American aircraft carrier.

And if suicide is more valuable, it is necessary to develop high-tech suicide weapons -- science and technology are combat effectiveness!

In addition, it is necessary to conduct scientific training for the kamikaze members who attack suicide, so that they can die a glorious and valuable death!

Therefore, when the British came up with the model of "dreadnought weapons" to scare people, Hersmann also took this as an opportunity to order the German weapons research and development and production departments to come up with suicide weapons with international leading level.

Then, this powerful and advanced suicide weapon technology will be taught to Japanese friends, so that they can die a great and glorious death earlier.

……

In the evening of the same day, in the spacious and luxurious estate of the Heinsberg-Hersmann family, the Hersmann father and son met Hiroshi Oshima, the Japanese ambassador for German fans in Berlin, and Minoru Genda, who came with Hiroshi Oshima.

Minoru Genda is 37 years old this year, and he looks a little heroic, but he is a little shorter. He wore a crisp blue Japanese Navy uniform, white gloves, and was very personable in speech and demeanor, and could speak fluent London English, which really looked a bit like a Royal Navy officer.

Hersman knew that the Japanese Navy had been a "British fan" for a long time, imitating Britain everywhere. From the very beginning, their Etajima Naval Academy copied the curriculum of the British Royal Navy, and it was taught entirely in English. Later, although I didn't use all English, I didn't relax my English teaching, so everyone in the Japanese Navy could speak fluent London English - this was actually not difficult for the non-commissioned officers of the Japanese Naval Academy, because the Naval Academy has always been the most difficult school in Japan, and those who can be admitted are all academic masters (except for the imperial cadets).

The Hersman sons, Lieutenant General Haye and Colonel Hinze, and Lieutenant General Hiroshi Oshima, who became a diplomat, also spoke English. So today's pre-dinner conversation was conducted in English.

"Mr. Oshima, Mr. Genda, I know that you are still negotiating with the United States." After a few pleasantries, Hersman got straight to the point. "But this kind of negotiation, in my opinion, has only one function, and that is to cover the preparation and launch of a surprise attack!"

The two Japanese devils were a little surprised when they heard this, and they looked at each other and didn't know how to answer.

Hirschman went on to say: "You will not come to any agreement with the United States, the United States will not ally with you, and it will not support your expansion into the East Asian continent. Because the object of the alliance that the United States wants to form is always the Soviet Union! And you Japan...... It is impossible to help the United States defeat us, so you are of no value to the United States, and you do not deserve to be a first-class power that can be equal to the United States. ”

In fact, the Japanese top brass saw this situation very clearly, and in the current world war, the Soviet Union's huge army was a decisive force, and Stalin was a big player who could make a decisive change in the war situation with just one word.

Although the United States will try to get rid of Comrade Stalin in Afghanistan, it will never ally with Japan to attack Stalin's big socialist brothers. If Roosevelt had done this, Stalin would have thought that US imperialism had always placed the destruction of *** in a very important position. In this way, the possibility of an alliance between the United States and the Soviet Union would not exist unless Germany took the initiative to attack the Soviet Union.

At present, Germany does not have the slightest sign of attacking the Soviet Union...... So the U.S.-Japan alliance is something that simply can't happen.

"Your Excellency the Imperial Marshal," Hiroshi Oshima said, well aware of the current international situation, "we will have two large aircraft carriers completed in September this year, and we must try to maintain relations with the United States until they are equipped with a navy." ”

He was talking about the "Xianghe" and "Zuihe", with a standard displacement of 25,600 tons, which can carry 84 carrier-based aircraft. Without these two fleet carriers, the strength of the Japanese Combined Fleet would be somewhat insufficient.

"That's right, two fleet aircraft carriers are very important, especially in the Pacific Ocean." "But a war in the Pacific cannot be won by six fleet carriers and a few hundred elite pilots...... Because Britain and the United States are very strong, once they enter the war, they will go all out, use any means, and they are not afraid of sacrifice! You should have heard about dreadnought, right? ”

"Your Excellency Marshal, we know that dreadnoughts operate torpedoes and dreadnought ......aircraft," Minoru Genda hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Did the British really adopt this 'dreadnought tactic' in the Battle of Shetland?" ”

Hersman glanced at his son, and Hirschman Jr. immediately replied: "Yes, I was there at the time and witnessed the attack with my own eyes, at least 12 British SBD planes used ramming tactics!" ”

"Is this true?" Genda was stunned and stunned, he never thought that the British would go crazy when they reached the point of life and death. It seems that some people in Japan do not have an accurate view of Britain and the United States, and the British and Americans are not afraid of death......

Little Hersman nodded seriously and said, "It's true, but the effect of these 12 planes hitting and attacking is not ideal." In the end, only one SBD plane crashed into the 'Seydlitz', and although it caused some damage, it was still far from the results they wanted. I think this is mainly due to the fact that the British have just begun to practice such tactics and have not yet equipped specialized dreadnoughts and trained specialized dreadnoughts.
