In Tokyo, Japan, in front of the palace where the Imperial Palace Hirohito is located, King Fushimi Miyahiro is wearing a military uniform and kneeling in front of the palace and crumbling. The wind in winter was cold and biting, and Fushiminomiya's face was blue from the cold, but he still refused to fall.

Xianyuan Palace didn't know when he walked to his side, looked at Fushimi's appearance and sighed, "Why bother?!" Your Majesty does not want to see you, so naturally there are reasons for Your Majesty. Your Royal Highness, why do you bother......"

"Your Highness, you and I both belong to the imperial family. Are we just looking at this empire and going to the abyss step by step?! Fushimimiya's face turned blue with cold, and he trembled: "Even if it's just a glimmer of hope, I'm willing to give 100% of my strength!" That's why I have to see Your Majesty......"

Xianyuan Gong Zairen couldn't help sighing when he heard this, he knew that he couldn't persuade Fushimi Palace, so he had to lean down and whisper: "I'll go in and talk to Your Majesty, but I don't dare to guarantee that Your Majesty will see you." I can only convey your thoughts on your behalf......"

Hearing this, Fushimi Palace turned to Xianyuan Palace and nodded deeply, "Please!" ”

Xianyuan Palace nodded, turned around and walked into the palace. The guard in front of the palace checked the pass of the Xianyuan Palace before letting him in. Although Xianyuan Palace had come to the palace quite a few times, the guards still insisted on checking his pass. Otherwise, it will not be released.

In the palace, Hirohito's face was cloudy and uncertain, playing chess with Saionji. Looking at Hirohito's uncertain face, Saionji sighed and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to meet Fushimi Palace, then you can meet him......

"Under the Fushimi Palace, he is a member of the royal family no matter what. And he has always been loyal to the royal family and the empire. Since he has something to say to His Majesty. So why did Your Majesty avoid it?! ”

"Teacher, I will never see him!" Hirohito slammed a son on the chessboard and said, "Yamamoto Fifty-six is known as a famous general of the empire. But in the Philippine Campaign, the Imperial Navy was directly buried! ”

Fushiminomiya, as the direct leader of the navy, must be responsible for this. I didn't deal with him, it was already for the sake of the royal family and his years of loyalty. Otherwise, I can't deal with him too much for the crime of letting the empire fall into a catastrophe! ”

Xiyuan Temple smiled and threw himself in defeat, looked at Hirohito and sighed: "Your Majesty, don't pretend not to know." The defeat of the Philippine campaign had little to do with Commander Yamamoto......"

"The news sent back by Hiroshi Oshima proves it. The squadron has mastered extremely advanced radar technology. And we don't even have this kind of technology now, Yamamoto is not losing to tactics, but to technology......"

"This technique. Our empire did not have it. Even little is known about it, and even German research is just in its infancy. Under the gap in technology, we had no choice but to fail, and we really can't blame the leading generals......"

Why didn't Hirohito know what the problem was?! It's just that in a fit of rage at the time, he gave the order to remove himself from his post and let Fushimiya leave the navy, which is now irretrievable.

And according to the message returns. Koga Mine is a very stable person. After he entered the Navy, he did not change blood in a big way. Nor did they arbitrarily install their own people.

Instead, he first consulted the former commander Isoroku Yamamoto, and then comprehensively appeased and adjusted the navy according to his opinions.

Now all the affairs of the navy are being carried out in an orderly manner, and Koga Mineichi has a lot of credit. Without his reassurance and support, many of the Navy's affairs that had been arranged by Yamamoto Isoroku would not have been able to be carried out.

"Isn't the Navy now trying to introduce German technology?! Isn't Hiroshi Oshima discussing this with Germany?! ”

Hirohito snorted coldly: "The Navy will get this technology soon, so what excuse are they going to make next?!" ”

"Your Majesty...... Don't you see it?! If the empire is still the empire of the past, then Germany will definitely consider transferring this technology to us......" Saionji smiled bitterly: "But is the current empire still the empire of the past?!" ”

"We are more of a burden to Germany than our allies. I'm already amazed that they were able to keep Hiroshi Oshima in Germany. Transfer of technology is such a thing. We don't even have to think about it. They won't hand over the technology to our ......"

Hirohito couldn't help but froze when he heard this, his face was red and he couldn't speak. He knew it in his heart. What Saionji says is the truth. The Germans will cooperate with Japan because Japan has shown its worth.

But now that Japan has almost no value, what else can Japan do for Germany as an ally?! It was a problem for Japan to even defend itself, let alone support Germany.

After all, Italy, as an ally, was able to send 300,000 troops as an expeditionary force to support the German army on the Soviet battlefield. And what about Japan?! Now I have to fight for my survival.

It would be impossible for such a Japan to gain the support of Germany. If Japan continues to have the upper hand in the Pacific, as it has in the past, Germany is likely to hand over the technology to Japan for free.

After all, if Japan became strong in the Pacific and threatened the United States, then Germany would have had an easier time on the battlefield of the Soviet Union.

"Your Majesty...... His Royal Highness the Prince of Xianyuan Palace asks to see ......" At this time, the chamberlain knocked on the door and said to Hirohito outside the door. Hirohito and Saionji glanced at each other, and then with a wave of Hirohito's hand, an attendant brought a screen to block the two.

"I know, let him in!" The waiter answered, and then retreated. After a while, there was another knock on the door. When the door opened, Xianyuan Palace walked in and prostrated against the screen: "Your Majesty! Something is wrong! Our latest news shows that the U.S. military has appeared in the waters near Wake Island! ”

Hirohito's face behind the screen changed suddenly, although he had guessed that the United States would launch an attack on Japan. But he didn't expect the Americans to come so quickly.

And at this moment, an attendant rushed in and fell to the ground at once.

"Your Majesty! The latest news, Wake Island has been attacked by the US military!! ”

"Nani?! What are you all eating?! The Americans have already attacked Wake Island, and you have just received the news?! Hirohito angrily stood up from behind the screen and walked out quickly.

"Xianyuan Palace! Although I let you leave the army on the surface, it is not that you will not care about anything! You tell me! How do you manage the War Department?! ”

"Your Majesty forgive your sins......" Xianyuan Palace was also shocked by this sudden news, he didn't expect the U.S. military to move so quickly......

Wake Island, which has now been plowed over and over again by artillery fire and bombardment. Three hours earlier, Japanese reconnaissance planes had spotted a group of US planes off the coast.

It is a pity that the reconnaissance plane was shot down before it had time to send back the news. An hour later, the Japanese troops, who had discovered the anomaly of the reconnaissance plane, sent fighters again.

They finally got the news of the large-scale invasion of the American army, but unfortunately the news came too late. No sooner had they sent the telegram back to Japan than the U.S. forces launched an attack on Wake Island almost at the same time.

"Chirp...... Boom, boom, boom......, boom" The screech of bombs pierced the silence, and the fortifications on the beach and the horses were blown up everywhere. Although Japan does not have so much steel to make steel rejection, cement rejection still builds a lot.

"Tom tom tom...... Rumble! Rumble!! The naval guns of the U.S. mixed fleet ...... constantly bombarded the Japanese positions and fortifications, and a large number of Japanese troops were forced to leave their positions and retreat into the anti-artillery fortifications.

Fortunately, the fortifications built by the U.S. military on Wake Island before were good, and the Japanese army directly repaired them and used them.

"Send a report to the base camp that we have been attacked by an American aircraft carrier. Now we need the tactical assistance of the Imperial Navy, and if we don't have support, we probably won't ......be able to hold out for a long time," Rear Admiral Yokota Nobu, the commander of the garrison division on Wake Island, had an extremely ugly face, he had been careful and careful during this time, but he did not expect to catch the Americans off guard.

"Hay!" The adjutant answered, then turned to leave. The chief of staff, Kurosaki Daisa, said worriedly: "Your Excellency, Commander, we are in a very bad situation now. Will you be able to hold out until naval support arrives......"

"I don't know......" Yokota Nobu said with a wry smile, "We are only an under-established division here, and the total number of people is only more than 14,000 people. I don't think we'll be able to hold out for much longer......"

At this time, the U.S. military, which had been bombarding Wake Island for an hour and a half, finally began the landing operation. A large number of landing craft continued to rush out of the ships and rushed towards Wake Island.

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Da ...... "The light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese army began to counterattack at this moment, and the steel plates of the landing craft on the water were clanged.

The U.S. fighter planes in the sky were constantly diving down, and the firepower of the Japanese army was a burst of strafing fire from the "sudden ......." Trying to make way for your own landing force.

At this time, the Japanese anti-aircraft guns were pushed out. It was a burst of indiscriminate bombardment against the US fighter planes in the sky!

"Tom...... Rumble! "A U.S. fighter plane couldn't dodge and was hit directly by Japanese anti-aircraft fire, and the volley exploded. The pilot on board was blown into a pulp of minced flesh before he could parachute, and the wreckage of the plane fell from the sky......

The rest of the American fighters had to raise their altitude to avoid being hit by Japanese anti-aircraft fire. The landing force on the sea again fell into the net of Japanese fire.

"Dismount! Disembarked! It's starting to land!! At this time, the ship had reached the shallows. The American crew driving the landing craft began to shout. At the same time, the alarm was sounded.

The chirping of the "beet~beet~......" sirens sounded amid the roar of artillery fire. With the foredeck of the landing craft opened, the U.S. military's landing operation on Wake Island finally began...... (To be continued......)
