Chapter 20: The devil wants to make a bet with Commander Cheng!
These generals of the Toei Navy and Army couldn't help but sigh a little when they saw His Majesty Emperor Showa walking away with his sleeves blank on his face.
Is this joint operation plan accurate? Still not approved?
After the meeting broke up, Ishihara Koro and Yamamoto Fifty-six did not go with everyone, and the two left the palace and went directly to a rather famous Kikubun tavern not far from the palace.
Seok, geisha, and sashimi are the three major specialties of this tavern that are famous in Tokyo. In particular, geisha and almost all men in Tokyo who have a little bit of a face have come to the Kikubun Tavern to watch and taste.
However, the Jubun Tavern is never open to non-Dongying guests.
In a VIP room in the inner courtyard of the Kikubun Tavern, Ishihara Waner, dressed in a black kimono, and Yamamoto Fifty-six, also dressed in a dark blue kimono, sit at a table on a tatami mat made of bamboo and wood.
"Yamamoto-kun, what do you think of Your Majesty's attitude today?" Ishihara said as he picked up the bottle and filled it for Yamamoto Fifty-six.
"It should be acquiescence!" Yamamoto fifty-six pondered and replied: "After all, Your Majesty is making a secret deal with PLAN, and it is inconvenient for Your Majesty to directly express your attitude towards this kind of military attack against PLAN. ”
"Yamamoto-kun, I don't know much about aircraft carriers." Ishihara asked intently, "Are the two 'Yamato-class' aircraft carriers under construction really as powerful as His Majesty said?" ”
"Only by passing and not equally!" Yamamoto Fifty-six nodded categorically without hesitation and replied: "This 'Yamato-class' heavy aircraft carrier is definitely the most powerful aircraft carrier in the world today!" The combat power of one can at least surpass the three ships of the Akagi before us! ”
"With such a powerful aircraft carrier, why did PLAN sell us Dongying?" Ishihara asked solemnly with a wise look in his eyes.
"Let Dongying's war resources be further tilted towards the navy, and ease the military pressure faced by the Chinese people on the Chinese battlefield from the side." Yamamoto Fifty-six replied without thinking about it: "At the same time, it is also prompting the empire to go south to seize the rubber and oil of Southeast Asia!" The stronger the navy, the greater the demand for rubber, oil and steel! ”
"Go south to Southeast Asia......" Ishihara muttered to himself.
"Ishihara-kun, in terms of maritime interests and sea power strategy, going south is more in line with the national conditions of the empire!" Yamamoto Fifty-six said solemnly: "I'm not worried about the military power of Britain and France in Southeast Asia, the only thing I'm worried about is the United States!" Because the industrial capacity of the United States is simply too strong! Their war potential is by no means comparable to that of the Empire! I support His Majesty's southward policy, but the Empire should try to avoid conflicts of interest with the United States in Southeast Asia! ”
"If we can completely stabilize the five provinces of North China that we currently occupy, plus Manchuria, the empire will be able to have a stable rear." Ishihara said in a deep voice, "In a sense, PLAN actually helped me a lot. Because, I have always disliked the expansion of the war against China. ”
"But it seems that PLAN will not sit idly by and watch the empire gain a foothold in China, Shanxi and Shandong." Yamamoto Fifty-six said with a worried look in his eyes: "The kind of submarine and torpedo that have not yet appeared in the PLAN Pacific ship are really terrible!" If they had resorted to the tactics that Germany had done in World War I against the Allies, we would have been unable to defend against it. ”
"So we had to test what the bottom line of the PLAN was!" Ishihara Wan'er had a resolute look in his eyes, "Since those radical generals are not convinced, let them try it and see how great the war potential of the PLAN is!" ”
……
On December 20, 1937, all the newspapers in the Japanese-occupied areas of North China carried a news item on the front page.
The eye-catching headline reads: "PLAN, dare to fight!" ”
The content of this news is also very simple, to be precise, it is a war letter issued by the Dongying Army to the PLAN Pacific Fleet.
The Dongying Army claimed that it hoped that PLAN would not be like a rat hiding in the gutter and not daring to see the light, only engaging in sneak attacks, and never daring to fight head-on with the Great Dongying Imperial Army. Didn't you PLAN send a so-called law enforcement special service team to attack and kill the samurai of the Great Dongying Empire, on December 25, 1937, two of our samurai will publicly execute 200 Chinese soldiers in Shimen, and behead these 200 Chinese soldiers with their swords, do you dare to stop it?!
When Cheng Gong saw several copies of the challenge jointly published in newspapers such as "Beiping Times" and "Fengtian Daily" that Dai Yunong brought on a special trip, he couldn't help but be happy.
If you don't die, you won't die!
Cheng Gong was feeling a little bored these days, and he was panicking, wondering if he had to have some fun to pass the time, but he didn't expect that he hadn't gone to find trouble with the little devil, and the little devil actually came to the door by himself.
Cheng Gong's face was full of relaxed smiles, and Dai Yunong really admired the young PLAN Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Fleet in front of him.
This is clearly a little devil setting a trap in the occupied area, waiting for the PLAN to jump in. But this Commander Cheng didn't seem to be worried at all, but felt that this was a great thing.
Could it be that the PLAN Pacific Fleet really has the strength to drive the little devils out of the land of China at any time?
"Hahaha! This commander has something to do again! Cheng Gong was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, rubbing his hands together and walking back and forth in place.
"Brother Yunong, in this case, please help me send a clear code for power." Cheng Gong's eyes only glowed with green light and said with a strange smile: "The content is as follows: Little devil, if you want to fight, I will fight!" However, there is no point in doing so. We'll have to take some bets.
No matter how many troops you send, we PLAN the Pacific Fleet will follow! But the premise is that if you lose, you will withdraw all the Japanese troops stationed in East China, and if you win, Lao Tzu will give you four heavy aircraft carriers that are only stronger than the 'Yamato-class' you are building, and you will not take a penny! ”
"Commander Cheng, are you sure it's really like this?" Dai Yunong's eyes widened and he asked in a lost voice.
"A must!" Cheng Gong waved his hand and said categorically: "Don't change a word, just send it like this!" ”
Dai Yunong nodded vigorously, turned around and left, and quickly reported the latest situation to Chairman Jiang.
The building of the Military Commission of the National Government in Nanjing.
After seeing the clear telegram drawn up by Dai Yunong himself, Lao Jiang couldn't help but mutter: "The PLAN Pacific Fleet is really powerful, they actually have four aircraft carriers in their hands that are more advanced than the 'Yamato-class' heavy aircraft carriers under construction by the little devils.
And listening to the tone of Cheng Gong's words, he obviously has more than four such aircraft carriers in his hands. It would be nice if the Pacific Fleet could defect to the party-state, so that I, Jiang Zhongzheng, could also stand up and say nothing to the powers...... Alas! Go and send it, just according to what my brother said, not a word. I'M GOING TO SEE HOW MANY TROOPS THEY PLAN TO SEND TO THE PACIFIC FLEET IN THIS BATTLE! ”
