Unlike the expected battleships, the Hiei and the Haruna, the 3025 reconnaissance aircraft also spotted the "Yamashiro" and "Hyuga" in the Japanese fleet. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The "Yamashiro" was the second of the Japanese Fuso-class battleships, and the "Hyuga" was the second of the Japanese Ise-class battleships, and together with the "Hiei" and "Haruna", these two battleships formed the combined fleet of the Japanese army.

Of course, the combined fleet of the Japanese army was not just these four battleships, but also as many as 15 destroyers and two supply ships, which was indeed a large fleet in East Asia.

The Lanfang Military Department had already sent out the images of all the Japanese warships, and the observers on the reconnaissance plane were already very familiar with the Japanese warships, so it didn't take long for the observers on the reconnaissance plane to identify all the warships of the Japanese fleet and use the wireless telegram on the plane to send them to the Lanfang Military Department.

At the same time that the reconnaissance plane discovered the Japanese naval fleet, the Japanese naval fleet also discovered Lanfang's reconnaissance plane.

"Lan Fang people are so arrogant, they really want to fly our fighters into the sky, then their planes will all be shot down." The captain of the battleship "Haruna" Naoma Taniguchi held a telescope and sighed again and again.

"This little toy doesn't have any effect, just let them be arrogant, even if the Lanfang people find out about us, what can we do? Can their small planes still deal with our warships? Just let them watch us sink Lan Fang's 'France'. "The commander of the southbound fleet, Yamaya, was dismissive.

When the plane first appeared, it did not attract enough attention, although the role of the plane in the world war became more and more obvious, but for the Japanese, the plane is obviously just a strange little toy, whether it is the admiral Yamaya or the military rank of vice admiral Taniguchi Naoma, the understanding of the aircraft is not very deep.

Well, Genjiro Akashi, who has the best understanding of the role of airplanes among the Japanese military, has lost his life, and they will eventually suffer a big loss for ignoring the threat of airplanes.

A big loss that made the Japanese no longer able to turn over.

"If in the long run, the empire should still increase the research and development of aircraft, if there are aircraft carriers in our fleet, then it will be more ferocious than launching an attack." Relatively speaking, Taniguchi is still relatively sensible.

"Are you crazy? Don't say anything like that again! If we are going to develop an aircraft, then we will definitely have a part of our military spending diluted, and maybe we will have to postpone the construction plan of the 'Nagato' class because of this, is this what you want to see? "The other people in the mountain house are very loud.

In the Japanese military, the distribution of military spending has always been the focus and center of all contradictions, and for the time being, Japan's national strength does not allow Japan to develop its army and navy at the same time, let alone its air force.

Japan has always focused on building its navy, and since the birth of the Fuso-class battleships, the Japanese Navy has always had the most powerful battleships in the world. Compared with the Navy, the Army is like a mother-in-law, and due to financial constraints, the Japanese Army is not even able to carry out research on tanks.

Therefore, under this premise, if another air force stirs up the situation now, it will really make the Japanese military headquarters into a mess.

"You're right, Your Excellency, Commander." Facing the powerful Yamaya others, Taniguchi Naoma had to admit his mistake.

If the class consciousness in Lan Fang's army should be described as "strict", then the class consciousness within the Japanese army should be described as "harsh", and the Japanese army is one of the armies that attaches the most importance to class consciousness in the world, and the superiors even have the power to decide life and death against their subordinates.

At the same time, however, the Japanese military is also the military that has the most frequent outbreaks in the world, and there are often junior officers who cannot bear the harshness of their superiors and take extreme actions in anger, which fully proves that the Japanese are disrespectful and perverted in their bones.

"Speed up a little more, we're going to get to Cam Ranh Bay tomorrow morning and block the 'France' in the harbor." The mountain house is murderous.

In fact, the "Haruna" can run at a speed of 24 knots, but that is the fastest speed, not the cruising speed, so the "Haruna" is still traveling at a speed of 15 knots.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." Taniguchi Naoma looked respectful, but there was deep mockery in his eyes.

Lan Fang's reconnaissance plane had already appeared over the fleet, so it was impossible for the "France" to stay in the harbor and wait for the Japanese southward fleet to block the door, and if the Lan Fang Navy drove the "France" into Lan Fang's inland sea, then the Japanese Combined Fleet would not have much to do.

Compared with the four islands on the mainland of Japan, there are too many islands in Lanfang, with more than 18,000 islands.

Of course, the Japanese fleet went south and couldn't do anything.

In fact, the Japanese southbound fleet still has a task, that is, to launch a direct attack on Lanfang's capital Coconut City, even if it cannot occupy Coconut City, as long as the naval guns are used to bomb Coconut City to a flat bottom, then it can be regarded as a phased victory for the southbound fleet.

The capital was flattened by the enemy, presumably the people of Lanfang could not bear such an insult.

Uh-huh, the others in the mountain house have a good calculation.

Qin Zhiyuan did not have the consciousness that the capital was about to be flattened by the Japanese, and after receiving the information that the Japanese fleet appeared in the North Sea, Qin Zhiyuan immediately ordered Zhou Hongguang to start the "beheading" operation.

"Decapitation" operation, this is the battle plan formulated by the Lanfang General Staff against the Japanese battleships.

After the successful development of the torpedo machine, Qin Zhiyuan ordered the General Staff to formulate a variety of combat plans for the Japanese Combined Fleet, all of which were aimed at sinking the Japanese battleships.

Zhou Hongguang currently serves as the commander-in-chief of Lan Fang's air force, and all fighters are under Zhou Hongguang's control, and torpedo planes, as the main weapon against battleships, are regarded as the top priority of priority development.

Just after the order was given to carry out the "decapitation" operation, the guards came to report that the US ambassador to Lanfang, Glynton Augustine, asked to see him.

"Your Majesty, you must already know that the four Japanese battleships have already headed towards Lanfang, and now if you want a truce, I can mediate from it." Glynton Augustine: That's peace.

"Truce? No, now I don't want an armistice, the Japanese have to pay for their hubris, and I won't think about an armistice until the Japanese are completely defeated. Qin Zhiyuan was firm.

Well, it seems that the Japanese are convinced that the Lanfang Navy will not be able to threaten the Japanese southward fleet, so they do not hide the movements of the Navy at all.

The Japanese told Qin Zhiyuan in Hongguoguo: Yes, we are here, we are here, do you want to destroy me? Show your strength!

"Your Majesty, this decision is irrational, and it is likely that that such a situation will never happen. It was impossible for one 'France' to fight against four battleships, and numerous facts have proven it. Maybe in a few years, Lan Fang does have the strength to compete with Japan, but it is definitely not now. Glynton Augustine bitterly spoke.

In fact, including the Japanese, everyone knows that Lanfang has a brighter future than Japan, Lanfang has oil fields, various mines, enough land, enough resources, as long as time passes, Lanfang's national strength will definitely surpass Japan.

It is precisely because of this that the Japanese will always deliberately provoke Lan Fang, as long as Qin Zhiyuan is provoked to declare war on Japan, Japan can use the war to interrupt Lan Fang's normal development, and even stifle Lan Fang's progress space, which is a situation that the Japanese want to see.

"After all, the battleship can't be driven to land, and the Japanese may be able to be prominent for a while, but if in the long run, Japan's defeat is undoubted, and Lan Fang will make a name for himself in the process of defeating Japan, and no one can make Lan Fang submit, this is Lan Fang's attitude." Qin Zhiyuan is righteous and awe-inspiring.

The United States is currently Japan's largest trading partner, so the relationship between the United States and Japan is now in a honeymoon period, and Qin Zhiyuan will definitely not tell Glynton Augustine the news of the torpedo machine, which is equivalent to telling the Japanese directly.

"Well, as you wish." Glynton Augustine gave up making peace with him, and it was obvious that Glynton Augustine did not have much influence on the resolute Qin Zhiyuan.

After Glynton Augustine's farewell, the French ambassador to Lanfang, Erwin Jonne, visited.

"Your Majesty, you really have a big problem for us, although we have declared war on Japan, but please understand Your Majesty, compared with the Japanese Southward Fleet, the current strength of the French Far East Fleet is not enough, only after the reinforcements from Europe arrive in the Far East, the French Far East Fleet will have the strength to compete with the Japanese, so the period before the European Continental Fleet arrives in Lanfang, the French Far East Fleet cannot help." Owen Jonah was apologetic.

France and Lanfang were allies, and after Lanfang declared war on Japan, France also chose to stand on the same side as Lanfang to declare war on Japan.

Of course, although the French declared war, they have not sent a single soldier to Lan Fang at present, and the fleet that came to support from the European mainland will not arrive at Lan Fang for two months, and during this time, Lan Fang can only rely on herself.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, in fact, France's declaration of war on Japan has fully proved the friendship between us, which was forged in the war, and he is worthy of trust." Qin Zhiyuan didn't mind the French self-preservation.

Since the declaration of war on Japan, the French Far East Fleet has stopped its few warships in Guangzhou Bay, and even if the Japanese Combined Fleet has already moved south, the French have no intention of starting a fire.

"To be honest, Your Majesty, it is indeed not the best time to start a war, if Your Majesty you want to stop the war now, then it is not too late, it is not too late when the Lanfang Navy has not suffered a major blow." Owen Jonah also came to be a lobbyist.

Armistice?

Never!

Qin Zhiyuan is determined.
