ZTE 14th year, December 4.

Di Wolf walked into the Chinese Ministry of National Defense in military uniform, and now he has become the commander-in-chief of the Chinese submarine force, and his military rank has also been promoted to lieutenant general. This is already a great honor for a man who has not yet run four. Except for the older generation of military elders, his promotion speed is already one of the fastest in the group.

"The commander of the independent submarine force of the Chinese Empire, Di Wolf, was ordered to report for duty." When Di Wolf saw Chen Shao, he immediately walked up to Chen Shao, saluted and spoke.

"Yes, quite spiritual, the life of the submarine, you are getting whiter and whiter. Life on the submarine is boring, and it's hard for you. Chen Shao patted Di Wolf's shoulder and spoke.

"Thank you for your concern, from the moment I chose the submarine major, I have been prepared enough." Di Wolf said solemnly.

"Okay, you come with me first, I have a special mission." After Chen Shao finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the conference room next to the command center.

Di Wolf's spirit was shocked, and he knew that there must be a new task. Last time it was also in this place, Chen Shao said the same thing, and the Liaodong was sent to the Atlantic. Now Chen Shao said the same thing again. The belligerent genes in Di Wolf made him start to get excited.

At the base camp in Japan, at the base camp meeting chaired by Hirohito himself. The commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Isoroku Yamamoto, was spitting and babbling, and he had been talking for almost an hour.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, our naval officers and men have been preparing for several months and already have the ability to carry out the plan." Finally, Yamamoto Fifty-six spoke.

"Are you really going to go this far?" Hirohito did not praise or say when he could start this crazy plan. Instead, the question was asked again.

The industrial capacity of the United States has forced the Japanese side to consider the follow-up factors, whether it is worth it, and whether it will push Japan into the abyss of defeat.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to consider disagreeing, but to move on." Hideki Tojo said.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister is right when he says that although there is a lot of gambling in this, the Japanese Empire must take this path. Otherwise, our occupied territories may be cut off at any time, causing us to lose contact with Southeast Asia, Indonesia and Australia. When the time comes, the lifeblood of the empire will be cut off at any time. Life and death are in the hands of others. If His Majesty the Emperor does not agree to this plan. Na Bei had no choice but to resign as commander of the Combined Fleet. "The gambler's heart is at work, Yamamoto Fifty-six has fallen into the madness of a huge gambling game, using his military career as a bargaining chip, with only one purpose. Let Hirohito finally agree to his plan.

Twenty-one years ago. The United States published the book "Maritime Supremacy in the Pacific". Four years later, parts of the book were written as a novel. Titled The Great Pacific War, the book depicts a Japanese fleet's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Guam, and the Philippine Islands. The book was translated into Japanese by the Japanese Navy Staff and included in the curriculum of the Naval University.

At the time of the publication of the book. Yamamoto Isoroku was serving as a military attache in Washington, D.C., and it was impossible for Yamamoto, a tireless student of naval scholarship and a considerable knowledge of English, not to notice the book. The creation of the plan for the attack on Pearl Harbor was also closely related to Yamamoto's personality. Someone in the West said in response to the attack on Pearl Harbor that only gamblers would dare to take such a big risk. Yamamoto was an adventurer and was particularly fascinated by gambling. Gambling and games of chance are more important than food, and poker, bridge, Go, and bets are all experts in poker.

He gambled with his colleagues, with his subordinates, and often with geisha, and he gambled seriously. One year, Yamamoto gambled 3,000 yuan with his close friend for a small matter, which could buy a good house at the time, and Yamamoto lost. Although he laughed at it, Yamamoto insisted on repaying his debts and deducted it from his salary every month for more than ten years. When Yamamoto traveled to Europe, legend has it that he was the second gambler in Monaco to be banned from entering the casinos in Monaco because of his excellent gambling skills and so many wins. Yamamoto once said that if the emperor could give him a year to gamble, he could win back a battleship Yamato for Japan.

In short, the influence of Heihachiro Togo, American novels, and various factors such as Yamamoto's personal temperament contributed to the formation of the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.

At this moment, Nagumo Tadaichi also stood up and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, although our Great Japanese Empire has occupied Southeast Asia, Indonesia, and Australia, it is different from Korea and the Far East, these places are far away from our mainland, and transportation has to rely on ocean shipping. Now the Philippines is still in the hands of the United States, Borneo is China's territory, and the South China Sea is also controlled by China. This has made our ties to the occupied territories very weak.

Now, the United States has begun to implement the Lend-Lease Act, and a large amount of weapons and equipment have flowed into the hands of the Soviet Union and the Australian allies, and we have a large number of soldiers dying every day on American-made weapons. In my opinion, the relationship between the United States and us is currently at a freezing point, and the US Congress is also actively discussing whether to intervene in the war. Once the United States no longer cares about China and joins the Allied camp, war is not far away.

Therefore, we must strike first, destroy the US Pacific Fleet, occupy the Philippines, and open the passage between the mainland and the occupied zone. In this way, even if China blockades the South China Sea, we will not lose contact with the occupied territories. And as long as the overwhelming majority of the forces of the Pacific Fleet of the United States are defeated, then we will have at least a year's respite, and at that time, the Great Japanese Empire, which has a large amount of land, has enough resources for war, and we are not afraid of the United States. ”

"In that case, let's do it! Hopefully the Admiralty will bring me good news. Seeing that all the ministers agreed, Hirohito couldn't say a reason for refusing. In his heart, he did not mean to refuse, perhaps because of Japan's successive victories in the past two years, his confidence was also inflated.

Jun Shan Yi, who had not spoken at this time, got up and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, Your Excellency the Prime Minister, generals, I think it is necessary to modify the target of the attack in this operation. ”

For Jun Shanyi's words, everyone in the conference room was not angry. They were all familiar with this new general, and because of his excellent planning, Japan took many detours and occupied more land than expected. It was thanks to his many proposals, and with good results, that he was already the deputy chief of staff of the Japanese base camp with the rank of lieutenant general. It's only one level worse than his old friend Okamura Ninji. It's just that his character of not leading troops has puzzled everyone, and many people in Japanese military circles assert that if he goes to lead troops to fight, the general will be at his fingertips.

If other people say this, they will definitely be ridiculed by many people, and even dissatisfied by everyone. But at this time, Jun Shan is easy to speak, it is very different, according to the past situation, everyone wants to see what this person thinks. At this time, even Yamamoto Fifty-six and Nagumo Tadaichi were quiet, and they wanted to see what this deputy chief of staff wanted to say?

"I suggested the use of air strikes to annihilate the Soviet Pacific Fleet, and everyone has seen the role of aircraft carriers in warfare. The United States has three aircraft carriers in the Pacific Ocean, and these three aircraft carriers are the key targets of our air strikes. And the other warships could not be spared, and they should all be destroyed, which was the goal of the plan set by the Admiralty. Jun Shanyi first said the goal of the Admiralty's plan, and then continued: "I read this plan before the meeting and put forward a few suggestions, I hope you will think about it."

1. The weight of the bombs carried in this air raid is on the small side, so I suggest that all bombs of 500 kg or more be used. Carry out a devastating attack on all U.S. capital ships, and lose the possibility of repair. Because it is the territory of the Americans after all, if a devastating attack is not carried out on the capital ships, it is very likely that these capital ships will be salvaged and repaired and rejoin the US Navy in a few months.

2, the number of submarines is less, six is not enough, I propose to send at least twelve. According to intelligence, in order to dredge the waterway, the mines and water nets at the entrance to Pearl Harbor were cleared by the Americans, so that our submarines could drive straight into and cooperate with carrier-based aircraft to launch a surprise attack.

3. Arrange two sets of scheduled plans, what to do if the US aircraft carrier is not in the port? My suggestion is that we send too few aircraft carriers, six is completely insufficient. In order to reach the point where the United States is broken, it is necessary to annihilate the US Pacific Fleet at one time. Therefore, I propose that all our aircraft carriers in Hong Kong be sent out. The number should be at least twelve.

4. Destroy Pearl Harbor in the United States, which will not be used for at least three years. This is our main goal, and it must be accomplished. Otherwise, I propose to cancel this battle plan. ”

Jun Shanyi finished his suggestion in one breath, and after finishing speaking, he stood quietly, looking at his nose and nose. He's waiting for someone else's question!

Everyone in the base camp slowed down, and they all reacted. This deputy chief of staff of the base camp is more ruthless than them, but this is also in line with his usual character. Knock enemies down in one go.

As the formulator of this plan, Sanben Fifty-six thought about Jun Shanyi's suggestion, nodded, and said: "Jun Shanjun's opinion is very pertinent, and I have been taught. We did ignore the first three questions, and we will improve them. However, in the fourth article, I also hope that Junshan Jun will explain more about how to destroy Pearl Harbor completely, and it cannot be repaired within three years. ”

The words of the three books and fifty-six made many generals in the base camp nod one after another, and they were also puzzled, Pearl Harbor was not an ordinary military port, it was not easy to completely destroy it, and it was still impossible for the Americans to repair it in a short time. This, in all its eyes, is very whimsical. (To be continued.) )
