Chapter 512: Initiating an Investigation
Looking at the vice foreign minister who was walking away quickly, Hideki Tojo was very satisfied. However, today's meeting, in addition to the meaning of celebration, also has the task arrangement of the base camp in the next stage.
Having taken advantage of China, Japan should also make some strategic adjustments, and in particular, how to deal with China's retaliation is the top priority of the meeting.
"We should rejoice in the victory, but please do not forget that the empire is still facing a great threat to China at this moment. Not to mention that the major occupation areas have always been under the threat of China, even the empire itself is also within the direct attack range of Chinese bombers.
Although the empire had already moved a large number of heavy industries and production bases underground a few years ago, we could not move all our citizens underground, so in the face of a sudden air attack that China could launch at any time, all departments needed to take precautions against sudden air raids.
The air defense sector must be on alert every second, and the army aviation needs to be ready to take off and intercept at any time. ”
After seeing the intensive air raids that broke out on the land of Europe, Japan also began to move some important factories and equipment underground early in the morning to ensure that Japan's weak industry would not be quickly destroyed by others in future wars. In particular, China across the sea, although Japan still stood with China at that time, it was not really one heart after all. The development of bombers in the world is getting faster and faster, and there are a lot of bombers with long ranges and high bomb loads in China.
China's posture as a strong country exists day by day. Japan will not be able to live in peace.
In the conference room, everyone's faces changed, and everyone who was originally full of joy became very serious, and the atmosphere became serious, and everyone looked like they were in danger, waiting for what he Tojo Hideki was going to say next.
Such an atmosphere and everyone's expressions made Tojo Hideki very satisfied, and he enjoyed the scene and the pleasure brought by power. Seeing that the entire base camp is waiting for their own words. He had an unusually satisfying sense of vanity.
Of course. While enjoying himself, he did not forget what he had to say: "Not only the mainland, but all the occupied territories." All Imperial Army units must be ordered to exercise the highest level of alert. Anti-aircraft fire had to be ready twenty-four hours a day.
The war did not stop with a small victory. In the future, we need to do a good job in all defensive lines and face the most fierce attack of the Chinese army.
Only by stubbornly resisting China's fierce attack can we maximize the benefits of this victory. Don't look at the fact that the United States has a lot of support materials for the empire. But those things were not enough to reach the amount needed for Japan's status at this time. We have to get more out of the United States, use our record so that the United States willingly sends oil and steel to its homeland. ”
Despite the white face and snow, Hideki Tojo's heart is on fire. In his view, no matter how great the results Japan has achieved, these achievements will only really become Japan's only after China has been completely defeated.
Of course, he is not arrogant enough to take the initiative to attack China, at least not now. An all-out defensive position is the best option for Japan now, using space in exchange for time for a strategic shift, so as to maximize the opportunities created for Japan by the winter of the north.
"Tojo-kun, can't we send bombers directly to bomb important military installations in China? Why wait for China to make the first move. In this regard, Hirohito admits that he does not understand very well.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, the General Staff of the Base Camp has been planning this matter in detail for some time, and relying on the current number of bombers and bomb loads of the Empire, it will not be able to have much impact on the territory of China at all. Unless it is a month from now, when the American B-29s are officially stationed in Japan, then we can directly carry out effective and devastating bombing of the Chinese mainland. ”
In fact, there is one more thing that Hideki Tojo has not said, because saying it bluntly is too bad for Japan at this time. That is the task of escorting bombers, entering the airspace of the empire, or China, which is militarily powerful, and bombers without fighter escort are just living targets, and they have no effect at all.
It's not that Japan can't get fighter planes for escort, but the number is a big problem. If you go too much, it is very likely that you will not be able to come back, and no matter how good the results of the air raids are, they will also consume a lot of the strength of the Japanese Air Force. Go less, no effect at all. Don't say anything about sneak attacks, unless all of China's early warning radars are shut down, then it is possible to be successful, but this is an absolutely impossible thing.
Using air power to strike a country with the world's largest air force is sometimes really something that can only be thought about.
But it's not that Hideki Tojo doesn't have the guts, but the strength in his hands is insufficient. As long as a large number of US bomber units are stationed in Japan, and the United States will also be stationed in the air force, Japan will not dare to bomb the Chinese mainland. Even if you don't dare to go to mainland China, such as Jeju Island and the Ryukyu Islands are also very good bombing targets, and China's submarine base and East China Sea Fleet home port are located in these two places.
"Will the Americans say yes? The bombing of the Chinese mainland, no matter how strategically significant, is not so easy to accomplish. Hirohito wondered.
"It's hard to say, but where the war is going to go, and if the time comes when it has to be bombed, the Americans won't be able to agree." Hideki Tojo didn't dare to pat his chest and promise anything, but he believed that once the war was unfavorable to the Allies to a certain extent, any worries would disappear.
As soon as Hideki Tojo's words fell, a young man from the telecommunications department of the base camp pushed the door with a pale face, forgetting even the most basic knocking and etiquette.
"Report, the Second Battleship Squadron of the Combined Fleet called, the Combined Fleet has just received an attack from a new fighter of the Chinese Air Force, the flagship of the Combined Fleet Yamato was sunk, and a total of five capital ships, including the battleship Nagato and the aircraft carrier Zuizuru, were also sunk, and the Combined Fleet has lost its command center at this moment."
As soon as his words fell, everyone in the room looked incredulous.
At this Shaozuo's reckless action, the annoyed Tojo Hideki was about to get angry. He scolded him a few times, but when this young man hurriedly said all the contents of the latest telegram, Hideki Tojo had already shouted and swallowed back the angry shouts in his throat. Striding in front of this young man, Tojo Hideki at this moment also threw aside some bullshit etiquette, grabbed the other party's collar urgently with both hands, and shouted: "Do you know what the crime of lying about military intelligence is?" ”
"I'm sorry, but I didn't lie about the military situation, this is the original cable." Shao Zuo apologized in a panic, and immediately picked up the message in his hand. Show that you are not lying.
He certainly wasn't lying. Because the content of this message was confirmed by him again and again, he asked the Second Battleship Squadron of the Combined Fleet three times in succession, and each time he gave the same answer. Although he really didn't want this to happen, the facts were in front of him. He didn't accept it and there was no way.
snatched the original message. Then it became Hideki Tojo's hand and slipped. Now. His face was full of reluctance and disbelief. The previous pride and excitement have all come to naught. There was only a boundless sense of humiliation in my mind.
It's not that he didn't think about China's revenge, but he never thought that revenge would come so quickly and so incredible.
New fighters, ultra-long-range attacks, damn it, why does China have some unimaginable weapons and equipment every time, and why is this. This is the most uncalm time in Hideki Tojo's half life.
Both Yu and He Shengliang.
When Japan wants to develop and grow, why is China like an insurmountable mountain, blocking Japan's path? The very nature of two ambitious countries becoming close neighbors has prevented them from being fellow travelers. In front of them, there is only the road of the strong, and the weak are not qualified to step on.
Hideki Tojo has always wanted to be the king, but every time he sees the hope of becoming a king, China will shoot and kick him up mercilessly, he hates it! The teeth of hatred itch.
In his heart, he has never been so resentful, but China has given him a taste of resentment.
When he was so proud and felt that he was in control, he was kicked off the sacred platform. This is the current Hideki Tojo.
"Tojo-kun, is it true?"
Hirohito's somewhat cold question voice came from behind, as if the cold north wind outside mixed with the snow in the north invaded the body and mind, making Hideki Tojo come back to his senses. He said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, this is true, and it is news that has been repeatedly confirmed by the communications department. ”
"How can this be, wasn't it okay just now, and why is that?" Hirohito and everyone in the conference room of the base camp were a little stunned, how could they accept such news when it was confirmed.
"Pick it up, read it." Shaozo's ears heard the chilling voice of Hideki Tojo.
"Hay." Shao Zuo hurriedly bent down to pick up the telegram and read it in a positive voice: "..., our Combined Fleet suffered heavy losses under the onslaught of Chinese fighters, and the Yamato, the flagship of the Combined Fleet, was sunk in the first wave of attacks by Chinese fighters, and there were 3,000 people on the whole ship, including members of the Combined Fleet Command, except for 23 people who were rescued, the rest were all shattered. Including the commander of the Combined Fleet, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, Vice Admiral Jizaburo Ozawa, staff officer of the Combined Fleet, and members of the Combined Fleet Command, all of whom were killed.
The battleship Nagato,..., the aircraft carrier Zuizuru ..., the cruiser Kongo..., the destroyer Hatsuyuki..., a total of forty naval ships were sunk under the attack of Chinese fighters. The command system of the combined fleet was completely lost, and the fleet lost a fifth.
However, please rest assured that the flag of the Combined Fleet is still there, the navy is still there, and the 100,000 naval elites of the Combined Fleet are still full of fighting spirit. However, I implore the Imperial Headquarters to appoint a new Combined Fleet Commander as soon as possible and form a new Command. ”
Shaozuo's words echoed in the base camp, and everyone stood there quietly.
Isoroku Yamamoto died, and the Combined Fleet Command was destroyed with the sinking of the Yamato. For the first time since the outbreak of World War II, Japan has tasted what it means to be sad.
One general, one lieutenant general, and many major generals and adjutants died. Not to mention that since World War II, even from the People's Restoration to the present, Japan has never had so many senior military generals die at one time. And among them, there is also a Yamamoto Isoroku who is known as the soul of the Japanese Navy, which is no less than a bolt from the blue for the Japanese Navy and even for Japanese people and politicians.
Yamamoto has a high reputation in Japan, not only in the navy. It also includes the entire Japanese society. And such a figure who can be said to be a national hero of Yamato was killed by the other party with people and ships. How this is explained to the people.
"This matter, for the time being, can't be publicized, immediately send a telegram to the Combined Fleet, immediately lock the news, and definitely can't let the news of Yamamoto Fifty-six's death be spread." Hideki Tojo has already begun to want to make amends, and now he just hopes that everything will be in time-
An hour later, a meeting was held in the command center of the Wehrmacht in Zhongnanli, near the Forbidden City of the Chinese Empire.
All military generals who stayed in Beijing were notified of the meeting. Inside the conference room in the command center. A room full of generals is already sitting. From major generals to generals, you name it.
Chen Shao was dressed in a military uniform and quietly closed his eyes and pondered in the first place, and the conference room was crowded, but no one made a sound to disturb him.
Directly in front of the conference room. A huge display sits inside the wall. Now. The huge monitor was showing the scene of the Japanese Combined Fleet carrier-based aircraft attacking the attacking fleet. Although this is a silent record, the crowd in the conference room continues to stir up the water column from the picture. and the ships that were hit by bombs from time to time and the warplanes that filled the sky, they seemed to hear the rumbling cannons and the non-stop whistling.
The faces of all the generals also became extremely ugly, and some of them clenched their fists even more, and murderous intent flashed in their eyes. Even though they didn't know what was going on, the picture like this said it all because they all knew that it wasn't a movie.
The time of this record was not very long, and when the picture ended, everyone's eyes in the conference room were focused on Chen Shao, who was closed. The latter, as if sensing their gaze, opened his eyes slightly.
got up, sorted out the military uniform and saber on his body, glanced at the expressions of everyone in the conference room, leaned forward, clenched his hands into fists, and propped himself up on the conference table in the conference room.
"Some people still don't know what's going on, I can speed you up, the picture just happened four hours ago, the attack fleet belonging to the Pacific Theater was raided by a large number of carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese Combined Fleet in the Mariana Islands, and nearly half of the attack fleet was damaged, and more than 20,000 officers and men of the fleet were killed or wounded.
I want to hold one person accountable for this incident. This man, who had won many wars, had become a little arrogant, and pride had taken over all his thoughts, and he despised his opponents as nothing. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Shao glanced at the people in the conference room and said solemnly: "You say, do you need to punish such a person?" ”
They didn't know who Chen Shao was talking about, but seeing Chen Shao's solemn expression, they didn't dare to disobey their will. In unison, he said, "The punishment." ”
Only a few people knew, but their voices didn't play a role, and when they heard the words "should be punished" echoing in the conference room, including Jiang Baili, Cai Yi, Chen Fuqin and others, they all showed a wry smile on their faces.
"In that case, well, I make the best decision and sentence Chen Shao, the supreme commander of the Chinese National Defense Forces, to a one-month confinement, which will be implemented from tomorrow." Chen Shao said very seriously and seriously.
In the conference room, except for Jiang Baili and others, the other generals were stunned. Most of them came to the military commander of the Gongwei Jing Division, and they were originally unclear about this matter, but now when they heard the emotion that the person in Chen Shao's mouth turned out to be themselves, they couldn't reflect it for a while.
However, the matter was not over, and the military giants of the Wehrmacht also stood up and declared their guilt.
"I, Jiang Baili, have made serious omissions in the strategic decision-making of the Empire, and I hereby announce that Jiang Baili has been sentenced to one month of confinement." Jiang Baili was the first to get up and said.
"I'm ...... Cai"
"I'm Chen Shaokuan......"
Just as Chen Fuqin was about to stand up, Chen Shao's voice sounded in his ears: "You all go into the small black house, then who will order the next combat mission of the Chinese National Defense Forces." As I said before, the main responsibility for this is me, and it has nothing to do with you, and in the month of my absence, you have to give me a good feeling of the anger of China. ”
Most of the blame for this incident lies with Chen Shao, because he did not find the signs of extreme light in the Wehrmacht system, including him. Since there is a mistake, he will be punished, this is Chen Shao's own responsibility. A month of confinement can actually suffocate people. He can only use this means to clean his mind.
Chen Shao's words made everyone in the conference room not know what to say, although Jiang Baili and the others looked like they wanted to say something. But not a word came out of his mouth yet. They didn't know how to persuade Chen Shao, because strictly speaking, they also had a lot of responsibility. And Chen Shao said it so deadly, and he was determined to accept the confinement thing, and they who knew Chen Shao's character really didn't know what to say.
And as Chen Shao said, the national defense force must have someone in charge, everyone has gone to confinement, so whether the war will be fought. When the time comes, the entire system of the Chinese National Defense Forces will be in a mess, and the result will only be for others to pick up the bargain.
However, it is not that no one in the conference room dares to speak. Huang Bai, who is the commander of the Praetorian Guard Army. But there are not so many scruples, and a month of confinement is not so pleasant.
"Your Majesty, I strongly disagree with your decision. A month is too long. It's been almost three days. ”
Hear Huang Bai's rebuttal. Chen Shao was not angry, but said very calmly: "A month is not a long time, this is a lesson that should be accepted." Regret can wake up. Regrets can't be made up. It was a wake-up call to myself. ”
"But..."Before Huang Bai's words could be finished, he was interrupted by Chen Shao.
"No, but, that's how it was decided." Speaking of this, Chen Shao's voice changed, and he said angrily with murderous intent: "However, for little Japan that dares to brush the tiger's whiskers, within a month of my absence, I will see Japan pay several times the price for this." ”
The killing intent in Chen Shao's words made everyone in the conference room feel cold.
"Don't worry about Your Majesty, we will definitely make Little Japan pay an absolute price." Cai Ye said loudly, revealing a cold voice comparable to a cold winter.
"In the past, we were really too merciful, and the empire has always treated people with courtesy and ruled the country with virtue, making the world forget that the empire also came from the smoke of gunpowder." Chen Shao spoke again: "Now I order, in the future, as long as it is an enemy of the empire, as long as it is an enemy combatant, the whole of the Wehrmacht will no longer have any mercy. At the same time, immediately open the Empire II arsenal, and all the weapons in it can be used at will. Let all the enemies, tremble under the iron hooves of the empire, let the whole world see, and provoke the results of China. For the sake of the future of the empire, even if the whole world is scorched earth. ”
Imperial No. 2 Arsenal, as long as this term is a Wehrmacht general-level officer, there is no one who does not know. The empire has a total of three arsenals, divided into one, two, three, three numbers. Arsenal No. 3 is a conventional weapon, and the commander of the National Defense Corps and above knows it. Arsenal No. 2 is a weapon of mass destruction, and every weapon in it is a powerful killing weapon, even including biological and chemical weapons. And the No. 1 arsenal, up and down the Chinese Empire, people who know what is inside, only those generals of the Wehrmacht who have reached the rank of general are qualified to know, there are very few things in it, but they are all nuclear weapons.
The three numbers, the three levels, represent the strongest equipment of the Wehrmacht.
As soon as Chen Shao's words fell, there was a knock on the door, and then Wang Jie pushed the door in with a tape.
"This is a tape of the battle situation sent by the Black Hawk Brigade on the return trip." After Wang Jie closed the door, he spoke.
"Put." After Chen Shao finished speaking, he returned to his position, he really wanted to see what kind of situation the Japanese Combined Fleet was under the most advanced Black Hawk fighters.
Under Wang Jie's operation, the battle footage recorded from the Black Hawk fighter began to be played on the large monitor. It can be seen that the projection speed of the tape is reduced, which is also inevitable, because at the high speed of the aircraft, if you don't slow down a little, many things will also be flashed by.
In the picture, the flames of anti-aircraft fire can be seen flashing on the screen everywhere, and the picture is also flipped from time to time as the fighter maneuvers flexibly.
The destruction of the Yamato, the sinking of the Nagato, and the powerful attack ability caused the Japanese Combined Fleet to suffer heavy casualties in a short period of time. If it weren't for the limited number of fighters dispatched and the fact that the air-to-ship missiles were not very advanced, it would probably not be difficult to completely annihilate the entire combined fleet.
The five-minute video passed quickly, and when the screen of the monitor turned black again, Wang Jie put away the tape and said: "The latest news from the intelligence department has appeared, and documents of serious losses to our attack fleet have appeared in the media of Japan and the allied Germany, and it is estimated that in a while, there will be a report on the radio about Japan's sneak attack on our attack fleet." ”
"This is to be expected, Japan's sneak attack is already of great strategic significance, and it is very normal to vigorously publicize it. If Japan doesn't plan to publicize it, there will be a problem here. Jiang Baili said.
It's no secret what Japan plans to do next. The appearance of the Black Hawk fighter. The ultimate goal is to deal with Japan's inevitable move and to counter Japan's media propaganda.
"Immediately polish the tape and hand it over to Imperial Central Radio, and dial it out on the evening news. At the same time, a detailed report was also made in the empire and major propaganda media. Chen Shao said.
"I'll go right away, but, Your Majesty, the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet has been destroyed, are we going to test the life or death of Yamamoto Isoroku." Wang Jie's steps that he had just raised stopped again. Road.
Yamamoto Isoroku is the flag of the Japanese Combined Fleet. As long as it can be confirmed that Isoroku Yamamoto was killed by Chinese fighters and sank into the sea with the Yamato, the blow to Japan will be very serious.
"I think this matter is very necessary, after all, it is a general who died. Again, the number one man in the Japanese Navy. It's best to make sure. Cai Ye said.
"That's it. Temptation is still temptation, you decide! Chen Shao said. He didn't really like it.
Before leaving, Wang Jie left a document on the conference table in front of Chen Shao. This is a preliminary investigation. The action of the attacking fleet was not a public statement, and it was originally intended to attack the Japanese airfield and important ground defense facilities on the Mariana Islands. However, Japan was able to discover the location of the attacking fleet, and there was something to be learned about it.
You must know that the waters around the Philippines have become a high-alert range for China, not to mention the Japanese reconnaissance planes, even if it is a Japanese submarine, it is impossible to break through the protective circle of the destroyer and discover the moving attack fleet.
However, the sneak attack of the Japanese naval aviation was heading straight for the attacking fleet, and it was clear that it was already known where the attacking fleet was. But how did Japan know about it? This is a very important issue, and it is also the top priority that must be solved as soon as possible in front of Chen Shao.
War is about money, and there is also a saying that there is no war without intelligence, and only by anticipating the enemy's opportunity can we grasp the initiative, whether it is an ancient war or a modern war, it is the same.
Intelligence work has always been another front in China, and the war is fierce, and the spy agents of various countries are constantly competing. When such a thing happened, it was obvious that China did not get the information in advance, and the information of the Coastal Light Railway itself was also obtained by Japan. This is a very bad sign.
Chen Shao also had a trace of regret that Jun Shanyi, the most valuable spy buried in the Japanese army, was transferred out of the staff headquarters of the Japanese base camp, otherwise it should not be difficult to know about such a huge military operation.
Chen Shao did not believe that it was Japanese agents who infiltrated the Chinese army, nor did he believe that it was the plan in the Pacific Theater Command that was seen by Japanese agents. But something has happened, which means that there must be something wrong in the link.
Otherwise, Japan is clairvoyant and ear to the wind. Of course, as a matter of fact, Japan is certainly not.
Chen Shao was not in a hurry to look through the documents, he could see that some generals were more puzzled by the new fighters that appeared in the picture. Chen Shao did not plan to continue to hide, but planned to build momentum for the Black Eagle. Because in Japan and the Allies, it won't be long before they will see what these fighters will look like. Because in the Combined Fleet it is absolutely impossible to do without video instruments, and at the moment of the appearance of the Black Hawk fighters, they are no longer a secret.
If it's not a secret, then why keep it a secret.
"This is the Empire's newest jet fighter, belonging to the fourth generation fighter, codenamed Black Hawk. The high technology content makes the production not very large, and it can also be said to be an all-weather combat aircraft. At present, these fighters are under the direct control of the Air Force Headquarters, because there are complicated logistics problems, this fighter cannot be equipped in the whole army in a short period of time, so you don't have to look forward to it, in a short time, this fighter will only be used as a strategic support fighter. The main force of the various units is still our third-generation fighters. ”
It could be seen that everyone in the conference room was a little disappointed, but Chen Shao didn't intend to explain anything, but changed the topic, "Everyone has seen the results of the attack on the Combined Fleet, to be honest, I am very satisfied." But I'm just satisfied today, and I hope that when I come out of confinement, you will surprise me even more.
Finally, I hope that you will learn from my lessons, and that in the future, no matter who you are fighting against, you will always remember the mistakes I have made, and do not follow my old path when the time comes. I can tell you that when the time comes, whoever commits it, I will punish it severely.
Now, except for Jiang Baili and Cai Yi, the others have dispersed. ”
The meeting ended. There were only three people left in the conference room, and when the door of the conference room was closed by Chen Fuqin, who was the last to walk out, Chen Shao opened the documents on the table and looked carefully.
Although Jiang Baili and Cai Ye were a little puzzled about what Chen Shao had to do with the two of them, they saw that Chen Shao was looking at the documents in his hand intently, and the two of them didn't bother silently.
In this folder, there is not a lot of text about what happened to the attack fleet on its way to the Mariana Islands, except for the encounter between a lost freighter and the Taiyuan anti-submarine destroyer attacking the fleet.
And in this document. Also indicated. found out the specific situation of the freighter, and there were the original words of the captain of the Taiyuan and others on it. For a while, Chen Shao couldn't see anything.
"I left the two of you with the intention of letting one of you go to the grassroots level. Condolences to the wounded Navy soldiers. The Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can't be opened. I have also ordered Zhang Yun to scuttle the Emperor Wu of Han on the spot. At the beginning of the war. We lost one aircraft carrier, twenty escort ships, and that's a bad start. Brother Matsupa. Brother Baili, if I didn't let go, sometimes I really wanted to lock myself up for a year, a month, and I couldn't atone for my decision at all. Putting down the documents, Chen Shao looked a little lonely.
"In fact, Your Majesty has done a good job, try to ask people who can be faultless in the world, and who has no mistakes in their lives, that is no longer a person, but a god." Jiang Baili persuaded: "Actually, in the final analysis, as the chief of staff of the National Defense Forces, I also have a great responsibility, and we are all a little proud. If you want to calculate the fault, I can't run either. ”
"Brother Baili's words are in line with my intentions, the empire has developed to the point where it is today, Your Majesty's merits are comparable to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and China is known as a miracle, in fact, the real miracle is Your Majesty. You blame yourself so much, one of us is the chief of staff and the other is the minister of operations, so the two of us are even more ashamed. Cai Ye also opened his mouth to persuade.
"You two." Chen Shao shook his head with a wry smile, in fact, he also discovered his own problems, and also discovered the inevitable results of dictatorship. However, for the persuasion of Jiang Baili and Cai Yi, Chen Shao felt a lot better, "Don't talk about this matter now, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty sank, and this number will continue to be kept, and when we launch the next domestic nuclear-powered aircraft carrier next year, it will be called the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty." Let the surviving naval officers and men on the Emperor of the Han Dynasty enter the Naval Academy for further study to learn the use and maintenance technology of nuclear-powered ships, and the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty will continue to be handed over to them for use next year. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Shao picked up the documents on the table, put them in front of Cai Ye and Jiang Baili, and continued: "You two help me see if there is a problem here. As to how the Japanese Navy determined the location of the attack fleet, we must find out as soon as possible. ”
The two of them were not pretentious, picked up the documents and looked at them carefully. Jiang Baili, who was the first to read it, spoke: "The most suspicious thing here is the freighter, the time to appear is too timely, and it is also certain that the other party is very likely to see the location of our attack fleet." However, according to the investigation of the identity of the crew, nothing was found. Is that really a coincidence? ”
Cai also focused on the freighter, but he had a different opinion: "According to the results of the Taiyuan ship's inspection on board, the freighter is going to South America, but the Mariana Islands, where there are too many deviations from the route to South America, the reasons they tell are actually very reluctant. According to the results of the investigation, the owner of the boat is an experienced sailor, and even if there is a problem with the navigator, it is difficult to rely on the compass to make such a big deviation. ”
"It seems that this is also the most suspicious, what advice do you two have?" Chen Shao couldn't make up his mind for a while, he was now hovering left and right on the question of whether to investigate this freighter, because once there was a mistake in the direction of reconnaissance, he would be farther and farther away from the real secret enemy. So, he had to be cautious.
"Since I have a hint of direction, I suggest that the personnel of the Military Intelligence Bureau immediately carry out an all-round investigation of this freighter, from the cargo owner to all the crew members, there can be no trace of any traces." Jiang Baili said.
"Yes, that's the most obvious clue, and there's no reason for us to just let it slip away." Cai Ye said loudly.
Jiang Baili and Cai Yi both agreed to investigate the freighter first, so Chen Shao didn't think much about it, and then checked it and said, "Since this is the case, then it is decided." As for which of you wants to go down to the grassroots, the two of you decide for yourself. Starting tomorrow, within a month, all the military aspects of the matter, you decide for yourselves. You don't have to go through me. ”
PS: Nine thousand words, it's finally done. In two days, Huali should return to Xiamen. However, after a day off, I will go to work immediately. When the time comes, update the time and try to return to the original trajectory again. (To be continued......)
