"The German telegram, I believe you have read it, Germany came to China to trade, and they did not say the goods and quantities of trade, but I am sure that the arms, the squadron suffered heavy losses in the Songhu battlefield, and the consumption of ammunition was huge, and their production capacity was not enough to support their consumption, so they could only go abroad to buy, ten 10,000-ton ships, that is 100,000 tons of arms, this amount is too huge, if China gets this batch of arms, there will be more imperial warriors sacrificed on the battlefield in China, So I don't want this batch of munitions to be sent to the hands of the squadron, but we can't directly attack the German fleet! That would only allow the two countries to declare war immediately, which would be extremely detrimental to the strategy of the empire, what do you think? ”

Nobuyuki Abe sat down and waited for the other cabinet members to express their opinions, but this time Nobuyuki Abe was disappointed, and none of the Japanese cabinet expressed their opinions.

Nobuyuki Abe and Hideki Tojo are both militarists, they all have a common characteristic, extremely fanatical and arrogant about the invasion of China, but there is an essential difference between the two, Nobuyuki Abe believes that before the Chinese incident is resolved, do not go to war with other powers, and Hideki Tojo is fanatical to stupidity, thinking that Lao Tzu is the first in the world, the north fights the Soviet Union, the middle fights China, and the south fights Britain and the United States, Tojo Hideki is crazy to the limit, crazy to not know how to write death. Fortunately, Hideki Tojo has not yet entered the cabinet.

To break the silence, Japanese Admiral Minister Zengo Yoshida expressed his opinion:

"Mr. Prime Minister, let's let the fleet staying at Wusongkou go up to block it, see if we can stop the German fleet, we can use intimidation methods appropriately, and see if we can intimidate the German fleet from approaching the mouth of the Yangtze River."

"It seems that this is the only way to do it, it's not good where the damn Germans are going to change resources, but it's a headache to come to China."

……

After the German fleet sailed into the South China Sea, Marshal Raeder and Dönitz did not dare to relax, and hurriedly got in touch with Schmidt, the commander of the German flying regiment stationed at Nanjing Airport.

When the German fleet was sailing near the Dongsha Islands, Limer, who was playing cards, received a radio call from Field Marshal Raeder:

"Ondete, I'm Marshal Raeder, you see we have sailed to the vicinity of the Dongsha Islands, which is only two or three hundred nautical miles away from China's Guangzhou Port, we can get there in half a day, why don't we send these materials to Guangzhou Port!"

"What to send to the port of Guangzhou? No, it is 1,100 kilometers away from Nanjing in a straight line, and with China's transportation capacity, this batch of materials does not know that it will only arrive in Nanjing in the Year of the Monkey, and at this time the capital of China is already in danger, which cannot be delayed, so Marshal Raeder must follow the plan approved by the Führer. ”

Raeder's helpless voice appeared on the other side of the microphone again:

"O Ondet! I also want to send this batch of materials to Nanjing and successfully complete the task assigned by the Führer, but according to our reconnaissance submarine report, Japan's two fleets and three aircraft carriers are heading towards us, and if we really go to war with Japan, with the strength in our hands, I am afraid that this batch of munitions and the entire fleet will be buried here. ”

"Marshal Raeder, don't worry! Little Japan doesn't dare to do anything to our fleet, you send our planes and submarines! You still don't know the power of our BF109 and JU87 aircraft, and with the 96 and 97 planes of Little Japan, they dare to play tricks with us, and if they really want to do it, then send them all to the bottom of the sea to feed the sharks. ”

Seeing that Li Mo couldn't move, Raeder hung up the radio with a "snap", and the sound of "pop" almost didn't deafen Li Mo's ears, it seems that Marshal Raeder was really angry.

Dönitz, who was standing beside Marshal Raeder, hurriedly handed a cup of coffee to Marshal Raeder's hand, and said with a smile on his face:

"Marshal Raeder, dissipate your anger, Ondet Namud boy has this temper, he still respects you very much, it is estimated that he sees that the war situation in China is urgent, so he wants to go to Nanjing, China as soon as possible!"

"Humph! You son-in-law! Everything is good, but he loves to be in the limelight and confront the chief, and he will suffer in the future. ”

"Yes, yes, when I go home, I will teach this boy a hard lesson, and let him personally come to the door to apologize to you, the marshal."

"Forget it, I'm not such a small-bellied person, apologize or forget it, since Onde doesn't agree to change the plan, we have to implement the plan approved by the Führer, otherwise we will go back and be afraid that there will be no way to explain to the Führer."

"Thank you Marshal for your magnanimity, and we will carry out the Führer's plan."

"Then give an order, the entire fleet will follow the established route, all submarines will attack, ambush around the Japanese fleet, and at the same time order the air force to escort the whole process, and the entire fleet will enter a state of first-class combat readiness."

In an instant, the German fleet sounded the alarm for war, and countless naval soldiers rushed to their combat posts, removing their gun jackets, revealing a huge black muzzle, and the muzzles of the anti-aircraft guns also pierced the sky.

Li Mo and they also hurriedly put on their life jackets, in the naval battle Li Mo They couldn't help anything, they could only wait quietly, if a war started, a passenger ship like them would definitely be the first target of the Japanese plane.

The two Japanese fleets had two battleships, five heavy cruisers, five light cruisers, twenty-two destroyers, and three aircraft carriers (Fengxiang, Kaga, and Ryuxiang). There are nearly ten Japanese aircraft carriers, and these three are just in Shanghai, participating in the operation against China, so they will follow the fleet to attack so quickly, and the rest of Japan's aircraft carriers are still on the mainland! The entire fleet is the essence of the Japanese navy, and if Japan loses these warships, its navy will basically be ruined.

The Japanese fleet reached the vicinity of the Dongsha Islands through the Taiwan Strait, and the commander of the Japanese fleet was Vice Admiral Nagumo Chuichi, and when the German fleet discovered the Japanese fleet, the Japanese fleet also knew the specific position of the German fleet, and Nagumo Nakaichi ordered the entire fleet to meet it head-on, and the three aircraft carriers retreated back 100 nautical miles.

Nagumo got an order from the cabinet early in the morning, they just deterred the German fleet, and could not really launch an attack on the German fleet, you must know that the German U2 submarine is an uncrackable nightmare for the Japanese Navy, because at this time Japan does not have a sonar system, and there is no sonar in the whole world, which is a killer weapon for dealing with submarines, so to speak, German submarines are god-like existence.
