Three days later, a week after the departure of the Chinese Navy, on August 22, the Chinese Navy had reached 500 kilometers northeast of Nantori Island.

The Japanese side has used various ways to find out the news of the Chinese fleet, either the secret tracking of submarines, or the chance encounter of merchant ships or fishing boats.

According to Wang Hanzhang's instructions, the Chinese Navy deliberately waterproofed the Japanese, so that they thought that the Chinese Navy had not discovered them, and even if their fishing boats and merchant ships encountered them by chance, they did not forcibly drive them away, but patiently advised.

In the New Tokyo Imperial Palace, Hirohito and the Minister of the Navy, the Minister of the Army, got together to discuss the current situation.

"Your Majesty, according to the news sent by fishing boats, merchant ships and submarines, the speed of the Chinese's big ship is ten knots, and they also found planes taking off and landing on it, then it is very clear, this is a huge aircraft carrier."

Hirohito looked at Yamamoto Fifty-Six to hear his opinion, and Yamamoto Fifty-six's nerves have been affected by this giant ship,

Liangjiu Yamamoto Fifty-six said: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, the people of China are really smart, they can't train many good pilots, and they can't take off on a deck of only two or three hundred meters, so they built an aircraft carrier similar to the land runway, if I guess correctly, this aircraft carrier can carry at least three hundred planes." ”

"Shhh......hhh ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six said: "So much, or even more, but the value of this giant aircraft carrier is far more than this, Your Majesty, Lords, this aircraft carrier is so big, the runway is the same as the land runway, I think the purpose of the Chinese is not just for the pilot." ”

"Gentlemen, with this aircraft carrier, the squadron can not only take off all the navy's aircraft on this giant aircraft carrier, but also all land-based air forces."

Everyone nodded, land-based aircraft are naturally much superior to the overall performance of the navy's aircraft, and if the side attacking the island does not lose in the performance of the aircraft, it will be very disadvantageous for the defender.

Yamamoto Fifty-six continued: "Your Majesty, lords, this giant aircraft carrier has a huge hull, I estimate that he is afraid that he is not very bumpy in the sea, or even not bumpy, and he is like walking on the ground for aircraft to take off and land, plus he has an ultra-long runway, if the Chinese take off and land night combat aircraft on it, it will be a disaster for the side defending the island, especially for the imperial country, our current aircraft are almost impossible to perform night operations, if we are against China, we will have no advantage at all." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, this aircraft carrier can carry more than 300 aircraft, and it is also the best aircraft, so please ask, even if we transfer all the navies, they are not their opponents, they only need a giant aircraft carrier to take out all our fleets, they can act at night, we can't, that is to say, they can attack 24 hours a day, then we will have nowhere to escape."

At this time, everyone was stunned by Yamamoto Fifty-six's words, it seemed that the Chinese Navy had eliminated their combined fleet and was attacking their islands at the same time, and these people shuddered one by one,

"I don't know how many such giant aircraft carriers there are."

Yamamoto Fifty-six said: "I don't think they will have more than two, such a huge aircraft carrier, every three or five years can not be built, even if it is desperate to throw money, I am afraid it will take more than two years, so it can be concluded that the Chinese will not have many ships." ”

"Then I'm relieved, if the Chinese have so many giant aircraft carriers, it will be a huge threat to us."

Hirohito said: "Yamamoto Qing, if the Imperial Kingdom goes to war with China, what can you do to deal with their giant aircraft carriers." ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six thought for a moment and said: "We don't know about their giant aircraft carrier armor, but it is certain that their speed is very slow, so once we find their whereabouts, it will be very difficult for them to escape, and the giant aircraft carrier is very large in size and area, as long as our planes can get close to them, it will basically blow up and be accurate, even if it can't sink it, but as long as the runway is blown up, then this aircraft carrier will temporarily lose its effect." ”

Hirohito thought for a while and said: "One of their aircraft carriers can carry 300 aircraft, even 400 or 500, and one of our large aircraft carriers only carries about 80 aircraft, and the small ones only carry 30 or 40 aircraft, even according to the largest, we need at least 5 aircraft carriers to carry 400 aircraft, don't cry Oh considering that their aircraft carriers are carrying more advanced land-based aircraft, so our aircraft do not occupy any advantage, I'm afraid we need at least 10 heavy carriers to offset the advantage of their giant aircraft carrier and occupy a certain air superiority, but they still have three aircraft carriers, and I'm afraid they can also carry nearly 300 aircraft, so we must have 4 more heavy aircraft carriers to suppress them. ”

"The total number of aircraft carriers that we can fight now is only 18, and it is not a heavy aircraft carrier, there are only 5 heavy aircraft carriers, and the others are small and medium-sized aircraft carriers, the only thing to be thankful for is that these aircraft carriers were built after 42 years, but the performance of our aircraft is not as good as that of the Chinese people, so even if we press all the combined fleets to fight against the Chinese people, we will not have any advantage, unless we can successfully sneak attack in one fell swoop, otherwise for us we can only wait for them to fight."

"So what to do, there is such a difference in strength between us and the Shina people, which means that they may attack us at any time without any scruples." An army officer said,

Hirohito took a deep breath and said, "Buy a plane from Shina." As we all know, the Japanese have just moved to Australia, and there are too many things that have not been built, so they cannot give full play to the extreme of Japan's industrial strength, especially in heavy industry, Japan is not ready, and it is very likely that Japan will die with China, and the key is that Japan is now inseparable from China, and it is extremely unwise for Japan to separate from China at this time.

Hirohito believes that now only from China can buy weapons and materials to fill the gap in the Japanese army's national defense, and the purchase of weapons from China, especially such high-end weapons, can show the attitude of the Chinese towards Japan, if the Chinese are even willing to sell this high-end weapon to Japan, it shows that the Chinese really do not intend to regard the Japanese as enemies, on the contrary, the Chinese are planning to fight against Japan,

"Your Majesty, even if the Chinese are willing to sell, the price is not something we can afford."

Hirohito said: "We can afford it, how much can we buy 10,000 tons of gold, I want to buy their high-end weapons to test the attitude of the Chinese, if they are even willing to sell us such high-end weapons, then what does it mean, that shows that they do not want to destroy us, otherwise he would not sell us so many high-end advanced weapons." ”

Everyone is calculating how many planes and how many weapons and ammunition can be bought with 10,000 tons of gold, especially the Japanese Army is very fond of China's standard weapons, and fully automatic weapons are really cool to play, if the Japanese army is equipped with such weapons, the overall strength of the Japanese Army will increase by more than ten times,

After using the Dragon assault rifle, the Japanese officers and soldiers no longer want to use that kind of rifle with a large cover of 38 categories.

Binshan Yuan said: "Your Majesty is reasonable, gentlemen, if you can really buy these advanced weapons from China, on the one hand, you can indeed test the attitude of the people of China towards the empire, on the other hand, the weapons and ammunition are quickly in place, which can instantly enhance the strength of the imperial army, since the imperial army is equipped with advanced automatic weapons, exercises have been conducted between the armies, and we have found that the combat effectiveness of the imperial army equipped with automatic weapons is several times stronger than that of those equipped with click weapons, Therefore, I believe that the modernization of equipment is the most urgent task to achieve a strong army and defend the country. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, think about it, the equipment of the people of China is the latest, and most of the equipment of the soldiers of the Imperial Army is half a century ago, and European countries used our favorite equipment to fight the First World War during the First World War, and even some of the weapons of the First World War are better than what we have now, not to mention the weapons that are half a century later."

"In addition, you also know that since we have purchased a large number of weapons in China, we can now imitate exactly the same, if we can buy their advanced aircraft, I believe that with our scientific and technological strength, we can soon imitate and form mass production, compared to this, we can take a lot of detours, we can completely save these time and money to study better weapons."

"Yes, I very much agree with Binshan-kun's point of view." Hideki Tojo said: "Gentlemen, the most important thing for the empire now is time, if the purchase of weapons from China can shorten the time and speed up the construction, I think this is a very feasible plan, you don't have to care about the money, our imperial country does not exist, the money is someone else's, and if the imperial country exists, then you can earn that money back, if the enemy is destroyed, then the money is not ours, so I think we must buy weapons and ammunition from China to come back." ”

Hirohito said: "Don't fight, we have made up our minds, so let's do it, we have no other choice, otherwise we don't have to do this kind of enemy's business." ”

"In addition, let the army be ready, we will seize South America at the right time and realize our thousand-year-old continental dream."

"Hay." The crowd shouted loudly that the seizure of South America meant war, that they could expand their territory, that they could go down in history, and of course that they could make a fortune.
