Chapter 441: Sinking
Cancer cells are mutated from normal cells and can grow, metastasize, and transform indefinitely!
Even in later generations, the vast majority of people regarded Japan's Meiji Restoration as a successful reform, and when Japan reflected on its mistakes in World War II, it was also positioned after the September 18 Incident and began to expand the road of aggression, but the actual situation is far from the case.
The so-called freezing three feet is not a day's cold! Japan's Meiji Restoration was not a successful reform, on the contrary, it was this reform that put Japan on the road of no return, and even lost its basic ability as a normal country!
From the perspective of Japan's national policy, since the Meiji era, Japan has chosen the country's way out on aggression and expansion, and this expansion ambition is like a cancer cell, rapidly expanding in all walks of life in Japan, from the emperor to the peddlers and pawns, all regard expansion as the only way out for Japan, and the people who support this ambition are the emperors who were deified through the Meiji Restoration, as well as the warlords and chaebols that were bred in the Meiji Restoration.
They kidnapped the whole of Japan and finally sent Japan to the abyss of hell!
Xiyuan Temple Gongwang put forward the idea of ending the war with dignity at this time, which made everyone present go crazy, and the most fierce performance was Emperor Hirohito, in Hirohito's eyes, the last patriarch is simply a fool, in the face of such a behemoth as China, since the war against Japan is going to have a hearty victory, it is like the First Sino-Japanese War, which completely interrupts the rise of China, if not, even if it is a draw, China's recovery ability will far exceed Japan, and Japan will undoubtedly lose in the next war.
Tanaka Yoshiichi also squinted at this time with triangular eyes and looked at the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang, as the successor of Yama Prefecture Youtomo, there was already a discord between him and the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang, and now he saw that the old guy had annoyed the emperor, and he was also happy to fall into the ground.
"Patriarch, do you know what it means to retreat from the Shina people? That means that since the Meiji Emperor came, the hegemony of Greater East Asia created by countless Japanese aspirants has been completely lost, and Japan will once again become a small island country under the shadow of China. There is no way out. At such a juncture, any cowardice is a crime against the country! ”
Xiyuan Temple Gongwang rolled his eyelids, glanced at Tanaka Yoshiichi, and a slight sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "What you said is very reasonable, but can you tell me how to completely defeat the Shina?" ”
Yoshiichi Tanaka certainly knows very well in his heart that it will not be easy to break the game. But he could not back down, so he said: "I naturally have a way to win, and the key to breaking the deadlock lies with the navy, which should fight the navy as soon as possible, sink several of their broken ships, and then harass the coastal areas of China." Of course, the army also has a large number of troops, all the veterans are called back, and then five divisions are formed, all of which are devoted to the Korean direction, and I believe that the loyal and brave Japanese soldiers will definitely be able to win! ”
Tanaka Yoshiichi still shifted the main responsibility to the navy, and at this time, Yamamoto Gonbei was angry, he was not willing to use the precious navy to fight hard in China's coastal waters, because there were not only Chinese warships. There is also an even greater number of air forces. Japan has already suffered a loss in Qingdao, and no one wants to repeat the same mistake a second time.
"Tanaka-kun. Do you know how powerful the China Air Force is, and a rash decisive battle is extremely disadvantageous to the Combined Fleet! ”
"Powerful? Japan has never faced an opponent who has never been weak! But Japan has always been the winner, you just lost the courage to fight, war is about strategy, China has a sea frontier of thousands of miles, I don't believe that they can defend every place, can't you look for the enemy's weakness? ”
Yamamoto Gonbei was about to refute, suddenly Hirohito spoke, for these civil and military officials, the arguments of the old ministers Hirohito hated the most, everyone only knew to shirk responsibility, and did not know to share the pressure for him, the emperor, it was just a bunch of old bastards, there was anger in his heart, and there was a trace of coldness in his voice.
"Aiqing Yamamoto, I think Aiqing Tanaka's words are very reasonable, doesn't the navy advocate attack, do you only have one blockade plan?"
As soon as Yamamoto Gonbei heard Hirohito's words, he knew that the emperor was also beginning to lean towards Tanaka Yoshiichi, and his situation suddenly became awkward.
"Your Majesty, the minister is afraid, the navy has indeed made a plan, we have chosen three attack priorities, the first is to directly attack Tianjin in China through the Bohai Sea, and then threaten Beijing, this is the most important area of China, as long as it is attacked, it can disrupt the deployment of China; The second option was to attack the Zhoushan Islands in China, and then advance to Shanghai, which is the economic center of China and its position is also very important; The third is to bypass the Taiwan Strait, enter the South China Sea, and cut off the South China Sea shipping route of China, so that China will not be able to obtain rubber and other strategic materials, and it will also be able to attack the most important shipbuilding base in China, the Qinzhou shipyard, and also be able to destroy the submarine base of the China people! ”
After Yamamoto Gonbei finished speaking, he felt that a cold gaze was staring at him, and the owner of this gaze was Emperor Hirohito, and soon the cold voice spoke again.
"Aiqing Yamamoto, since the navy has drawn up so many plans, why don't they implement them all, are you waiting for the defeat of the empire before you carry it out?"
The implication of Hirohito's questioning was too obvious, and Yamamoto Gonbei was also a little unbearable, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, we lack effective information on the Shina people, let alone know their specific troop deployment, I am worried that rash action will cause unpredictable losses!" ”
"What are the intelligence services doing, don't they know the importance of accurate intelligence to the Empire?"
Prime Minister Reijiro Wakatsuki, who has not spoken, is also sweating on his head, originally he is basically a decoration as a prime minister, he has neither the capital to confront the military department, nor enough appeal to control the government, typical splint anger.
But at this time, I can't help but speak: "Your Majesty, the intelligence department must speed up its actions and never drag down the hind legs of the empire!" ”
Hirohito snorted slightly: "You people are all heavy, the empire is far from reaching the height it should be, but you have lost your enterprising spirit, which is the greatest sorrow of the empire!" ”
As soon as everyone heard the emperor's condemnation, they fell to the ground and couldn't stop pleading, but Hirohito had already disappeared, and these civil and military officials, and the old ministers also knew that at this juncture, there could be no retreat, and a decisive battle against Shina must be carried out as soon as possible. Only in this way can the defeat be redeemed!
Just when Tokyo was thinking hard. A Chinese submarine dragon has quietly come to the northern waters of Okinawa, which is where Japanese warships often hang out, and the commander of this warship is Tang Lin, whose warship has been adrift at sea for nearly a month, and it is not a comfortable thing to be at sea for a long time, and the submarine is only equipped with some canned food, and it is also when the Japanese cargo ship is sunk. Got some additions.
The monotonous to the disgusting food, as well as the strong noise torture, made everyone eat badly and couldn't sleep, if it weren't for the incomparable desire for victory, Tang Lin didn't know if he could hold on.
They've been here for more than three days. I have seen Japanese warships many times, but Tang Lin is not in a hurry, these warships are either too small, or they are tightly protected, in large formations, rash attacks will only expose themselves.
It is also very dangerous to hide in such a busy sea, and from time to time Japanese ships will pass by, and if they are discovered. There will be a fatal danger.
In this game of hide and seek, three days passed. Suddenly, a huge warship appeared above the sea, and it was rapidly approaching this way. Moreover, there were not too many escort warships around this warship, and the soldiers in charge of observation hurriedly reported the situation to Tang Lin.
Tang Lin was also overjoyed, he hurriedly observed through the periscope that the warship was getting closer and closer to the hidden area of the submarine, and Tang Lin also saw the situation of the warship clearly, and at this time his heart was almost jumping out.
Tosa!
This warship is Japan's Tosa aircraft carrier, Tosa was originally the second aircraft carrier of the Kaga class, is the sister ship of the Kaga, due to the restrictions of the Washington Treaty, the Tosa was converted into an aircraft carrier, although this aircraft carrier is only 35,000 tons, but China has received detailed information, the tonnage of this warship has exceeded 40,000 tons, it can be said that this is the largest aircraft carrier in the world.
It is also a Japanese warship that the Chinese Navy is most worried about, and now Japan has a total of three aircraft carriers, one is Tosa, one is Akagi, both of which are big guys, and their displacement is much higher than that of the starting point, and there is also a Fengxiang.
Although China also has three aircraft carriers, China's three warships are really no way to compare with Japan's three, of course, China still has the advantage of carrier-based aircraft, but it also makes the Chinese Navy worried, which is also the reason why China has not fought a decisive battle with the Japanese Navy for a long time.
Now that the Tosa, the most threatening ship, actually appeared in front of Tang Lin, how could he not be excited, as long as this warship could be sunk, the strength and weakness between China and Japan would be reversed immediately.
Tang Lin couldn't take care of everything, even if he and the entire submarine were sacrificed, it was worth it to be able to exchange for the Tosa, the submarine quietly surfaced, adjusted the angle of attack, and the four torpedo tubes of the submarine were ready, just waiting for an order.
At this time, the Tosa did not know the danger that was approaching, and this time the Tokyo side was eager to fight, and sent the Tosa, which had just been launched, to use the Tosa and the Akagi to form a powerful naval aviation force to confront the Chinese air force and provide cover for the battleships to attack the Chinese coast.
Due to the urgency of the transfer, the Tosa's auxiliary ships were not fully equipped, which gave China a golden opportunity, Tang Lin barely controlled his excitement and spit out two words from his mouth: launch!
Soon the four torpedoes were fired at the Tosa, as if they were a fan, and the sailors on the Tosa did not notice it, they still enjoyed the glory of serving on the world's largest aircraft carrier!
At this moment, someone finally noticed that four waterlines appeared above the surface of the sea, and they were rapidly attacking them.
At this time, these people realized like a dream, it was a torpedo!
The terrible sirens sounded immediately, but it was too late, except for one torpedo that deviated, the remaining three torpedoes all hit the Tosa, and in an instant the earth-shattering explosion sounded, shocking everyone, and this aircraft carrier, which was proud of Japan, became the world's shortest service aircraft carrier!
