That is, when the B29 bombs were raging over Tokyo and the fire was permeating Tokyo, a huge fleet left Majuro Atoll and headed for Saipan, this huge fleet included 15 combat aircraft carriers, including two of the world's best Iowa-class aircraft carriers, 14 escort aircraft carriers, battleships, 25 cruisers, 180 destroyers, 35 submarines, more than 600 ships, more than 2,000 aircraft, four divisions and one brigade of ground forces, and a total strength of 150,000 troops. Whole \ Ben // Small \ Say // Net

This is the most powerful maritime armed force in the history of mankind and a concrete manifestation of the industrial power of the United States. After Pearl Harbor, the whole of the United States moved to a wartime system, and dozens of shipyards on the coast of the east and west were building dozens of aircraft carriers at the same time, in addition to a large number of destroyers, cruisers, and heavy cruisers.

On the other side of the globe, an even larger fleet is speeding on the undulating seas, the largest fleet in the history of mankind, the largest ever in history, with a formation of tens of thousands of ships heading for the French coast in the dark of night.

In the sky above the fleet, in the dark starless sky, there were tens of thousands of stars shining with red light, and the roar of the engine was heard dozens of miles away.

Operation Overlord, another iron pincer planned by the Allies in Tehran against Hitler's Germany, will be closed, and the million-strong army assembled by Britain, the United States and France in the British Isles will land on the shores of France at dawn today.

The war has been raging in the world for seven years, the world has wailed for seven years, and the enslaved Europe is looking forward to the army from the sea, from the other side of the ocean.

From the sky to the land to the sea, from war-torn Europe to jungle-covered Southeast Asia, to the undulating mountains inside and outside the Great Wall, tens of millions of allied soldiers with American-made weapons drove American-made planes and American-made tanks and jeeps to rush toward the enemy.

The Normandy landings reached Tokyo on the same day, and the Japanese ambassador to Germany, Oshima, sent a telegram back to Japan at noon, and Oshima reported in the telegram that the German generals' attack in Normandy was more likely to be a feint, and the real attack was Calais, and the Germans had sufficient forces in southern France to drive the Anglo-American Allied forces into the sea.

However, Nakajima Yasuken did not think so, and he concluded that this was the main direction of attack of the Allies, and that the German defense was focused on Calais, and that attacking Normandy was in line with the tactical principle of attacking them.

Emperor Hirohito was very shocked by the bombing of Tokyo and was very angry, and when he met with Suzuki, he demanded that the prime minister take measures to stop the tyrannical behavior of the Shina Air Force.

In accordance with the emperor's order, Suzuki convened an emergency joint meeting of the headquarters and the government, at which six decisions were made: evacuate the population, carry out air defense education throughout the country, form a fire brigade, strengthen the development of new aircraft, increase the production of anti-aircraft guns, especially 88mm anti-aircraft guns, and strengthen the production of heavy bombers.

Nakajima Yasuken listened expressionlessly to the results of the meeting announced that this was already the greatest effort that Japan could make, Muto Akira was a little puzzled at the end of the meeting, and deliberately walked on the side of Nakajima Yasukun, out of the staff headquarters building, Muto Akira saw that there were fewer people around, so he said: "Nakajima-kun, the mood is not high." ”

"In the face of such a situation, what is Muto-kun's opinion?" Nakajima Yasuken is a little wary of Muto Akira, this guy first took refuge in Sugiyama Moto, advocated the expansion of the Lugou Bridge Incident, and then took refuge in Tojo to support the launch of the Pacific War, and now his attitude is uncertain, one will persevere, and one time should negotiate peace, these behaviors are typical wall grass in Nakajima's view, megalomania.

Muto Akira sighed, shook his head slightly, and looked left and right again. Yasuken Nakajima couldn't help but feel disdain in his heart, he looked at the naval officers who pedaled on their bicycles and left, because of the extreme shortage of gasoline, except for ministerial-level officials who could have cars, the cars of the rest of the officers were all stopped, and they all took buses or bicycles when they went out.

"You know, I met Ligaojun yesterday." Nakajima Yasuken was a little lazy.

Muto Zhang was a little surprised, and then he was a little regretful: "Ligaojun, it's a pity, what is happening to him now?" ”

Tatsukanosuke Yokoyama and others were forcibly retired, and many people felt sorry for Rikitanosuke, especially those who had worked with Tatsunosuke, including War Minister Nishio Shouzo and Chief of Staff Umezu Mijiro, but this time the matter was too big, even Nishio Shouzo and Umezu Mijiro couldn't keep him, and after Dohihara came back, he also made a special report to Nishio Shouzo, as for the content of the report, it was not revealed.

"It's not very clear" Nakajima shook his head: "But his battlefield acumen is still there, it's just that yesterday's time was too short, are you interested in going to him to have a look." ”

"The North China Twin Stars are the most outstanding generals in Japan, but unfortunately one retired and the other went to the military headquarters, and it would be difficult to go to the battlefield again." Muto Akira's face was full of regret.

"Battlefield?" Nakajima smiled dryly: "I hope I can go back, whether it is a samurai or a soldier, the best destination is the battlefield." ”

Both Yasuken Nakajima and Akira Muto are very clear that Japan is already weakening, the Chinese and American armies are on the offensive, the Kwantung Army is retreating to Korea, China is sending troops to defend Jiangnan, the troops in Southeast Asia are also forced to be on the defensive, the United States is jumping islands in the Pacific Ocean to fight, and the Japanese army is forced to fortify everywhere and be empty everywhere.

All the Japanese generals pinned their hopes on this operation, and if the Combined Fleet could defeat the US Pacific Fleet, Japan might still be able to fight for a better peace condition, otherwise, Japan would be in a desperate situation.

"Muto-kun, do you want to meet that guy from Lidaka?" Nakajima seemed to mention it casually.

After a moment's hesitation, Muto looked back at the Army Ministry building, where some junior officers and soldiers were moving some boxes from the building to two trucks parked in the courtyard, and the bombing of the Shina Air Force was a wake-up call to all government departments, which were evacuating important documents and archives from their departments to the outskirts.

"I'm going to get two bikes." Muto Akira nodded in agreement, and soon he got two bicycles, Nakajima and he rode one by one and went out regardless of whether there was a job or not, and when he went out, Muto Akira woke up to what was wrong? Why should you go to Tachitakanosuke?

But now that he is on the road, Muto Akira doesn't want to do it anymore and follows Nakajima Yasyan. There was some panic on the streets of Tokyo, where loudspeakers were broadcasting the latest commentary from the Asahi Shimbun.

"The cowardice of the despicable Zhihua people, who did not dare to fight the imperial army face to face, only dared to hide in the corner and take pleasure in slaughtering civilians, only proved the inferiority of their race.

Tokyo citizens, we are the descendants of the Yamato nation, and we are an excellent nation under the protection of Amaterasu, and we do not shy away from saying that we have encountered difficulties for the time being, but we must remember that Amaterasu will not abandon us!

The ancient cavalry of the Gate G, which swept across the Eurasian continent more than a thousand years ago, was punished by the kamikaze when they attempted to invade Japan! Now that Ben is threatened again, the kamikaze will come again and sweep away all the enemies who invaded Japan in the Sea of Japan! ”

"Who wrote this, ting has a feeling." Nakajima's words made Muto feel a little sarcastic.

"I don't know, it's good to boost the morale of the people." Muto Akira frowned slightly.

The number of people on the street has increased significantly compared to yesterday, and the number of bicycles on the road has also increased, most of these bicycles have been changed to the style of board bikes, and the board bikes are loaded with boxes, some of which are full, and a few people push them behind, but both cyclists and carts are women without exception.

Nakajima looked at it carefully, and most of the boxes had seals or company abbreviations printed on them, and the companies seemed to be evacuating as well.

The whole of Tokyo was urgently mobilized, and some workers from rural areas or prefectures, mostly women, who were temporarily unemployed or working in workshops, were persuaded to return to their hometowns.

When they were about to arrive at Tachitakanosuke's residence, Nakajima and Muto saw several technicians at the intersection discussing something in front of the map, and there were several policemen nearby to maintain order.

"Nakajima-kun, where does Litakaka-kun live?" Muto Akira couldn't help but ask when he saw Nakajima Yasuken looking around.

Yasuken Nakajima has never been to Takanosuke's house, but he got the address from him yesterday, he paid attention to the house number, and did not answer Muto Akira's question and walked straight forward, turned a corner, and saw a courtyard, the paint on the outer wall of the courtyard has been mottled and peeled off, it looks a little old, and the two cherry trees in the courtyard have been covered with green leaves, adding a little coolness to the courtyard.

"Nakajima-kun, Muto-kun."

Yasuken Nakajima and Akira Muto were thinking about it, when a shout came from behind them, but the two of them looked back at Tanabe, Nakajima stopped the car and asked, "Tanabe-kun, does Takitaka-kun live here?" ”

Muto Zhang was so angry in his heart, he didn't know that Tatsutaka helped me there, and he pulled me here, what kind of thing is this. Tanabe was carrying a large or two suitcases in his hand, he had obviously walked over, beads of sweat on his forehead, and his shirt was already wet with sweat and clinging to his body.

"I guess so.

Muto Akira couldn't help but start to slander, it turned out that this one didn't know, and it was the first time to come over, look around, all around were houses of this kind of courtyard, this is a miscellaneous courtyard in Tokyo, this kind of miscellaneous courtyard is generally inhabited by people who come to Tokyo to make a living, noisy and crowded, and the sanitary condition is also poor, and it is a little surprising that Tatsunosuke lives in this area.

Nakajima jumped out of the car, asked Tanabe to put the box in the back, and pushed the cart by himself, and the three of them arrived at the gate of the courtyard, which was indeed the house number left by Takanosuke.

"Is Ligaojun here?" Nakajima Yasuken shouted loudly when he walked into the yard, there were two old women in the yard washing clothes, a woman in her thirties hurriedly came out of the house, and saw the three of Nakajima Yasuken, Nakajima and Muto's military uniforms made her can't help but be surprised.

"Hello, are you looking for Ligaojun? He's not here, but he left a message, that one is Tanabe-kun? ”

"It's me." Tanabe stepped forward.

"Ligaojun, he will be back soon, and he asks you to come and wait in the house." The woman bowed deeply to the three of them.

"Then let's go in and wait for him." Nakajima Yasan didn't wait for Muto Akira and Tanabe to speak, and without asking the woman's opinion, he stepped forward, took off his boots, and walked into the house, but the woman didn't dare to stop them, and hurriedly put the boots aside.

"Is Ritakaka-kun living in this room?" Nakajima looked around when he entered the house, the furnishings in the house were very simple, and he could see it clearly at a glance, a room, with a table in the middle, and two side-by-side, half-height cabinets against the wall, and two boxes on top of the cabinets, obviously these two boxes were the property of Tachitakanosuke, and the others were the landlord's things
