There is no impermeable wall in the world, especially this one, which has been deliberately pierced in the eye. Soon, Shanghai's "Declaration" took the lead in poking out the big news, and the fact that an advanced naval plane of the Navy was stolen by spies was quickly exposed, and then radio stations that have emerged in recent years also began to report on the incident. The speed and coverage of radio waves in major events were fully reflected, and the news quickly spread throughout the country in less than a day. The common people pay attention, and the army pays more attention. Lost a new aircraft that is about to be equipped? It's a head-scratching thing! Therefore, the turmoil in the Far East, which had been suspended for two years, rose again, just like someone sprinkled a handful of salt in a pan of oil, and the officers who received the order did not dare to come out, and their eyes were red and they drove warships and planes and vowed to find out the planes and spies, and only by disintegrating them could they dispel their hatred.

On the fifth day, a piece of news from Beijing made the situation suddenly serious. According to inside information, the president was furious about this incident, and not only scolded the defense minister, the chief of the general staff, and the commander of the military police, but also directly removed several military officers, including the commander of the Taiwan garrison. The Keelung Aircraft Factory, which caused a big disaster, was taken over by the military police, everyone, including the boss, was isolated and censored, and even the factory was closed, and the remaining new aircraft manufacturing will be taken over by the Mawei Aircraft Factory of Meteor Company.

Finally, Defense Minister Song Ziqing even signed an order prohibiting the coastal deployment of new aircraft, and even several old aircraft were prohibited from forward deployment, and also ordered the air force to shoot down all aircraft that took off without permission.

The news sparked an uproar, and even the most stupid people realized that the lost plane might not be so simple.

As the investigation deepened, a Japanese spy with the pseudonym Lin Ye at the Keelung Aircraft Factory was finally dug up, and his confession that the Japanese military department planned to steal the plane caused an uproar! Since Wang Zhengting and Gu Weijun went to the United States to attend President Roosevelt's inauguration, Vice Foreign Minister Wang Chonghui immediately made a public confession on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China and demanded that the Japanese Government immediately return the plane and hand over the culprit.

Of course, Japan will not admit to stealing the plane, but will accuse it of being a blame-set-up.

Diplomatic rhetoric could not cover up the military confrontation, and as the Chinese cruisers openly approached the Ryukyus, the Japanese Navy also competed to send heavy cruisers to intercept them. However, when the two Anhai-class battle cruisers of the Beiyang Fleet stationed in Qingdao and Arthur appeared near the Osumi Strait after many years. The sounds of war began to brew again on the seas of the Far East.

The more frequent the movement in Beijing, the happier some people in Tokyo become.

"Great. Tu Feijun, this is a victory, I want to ask the emperor for you. The theft of the plane had already attracted the attention of Japan's top leaders, and the new prime minister, Keisuke Okada, was very unhappy with it, but Fumiro Konoe, who was bent on climbing the military ties, was the first to rush into the War Department to congratulate him. And not only he came. Nagata Tetsuyama and Okamura Ninji and others also came. Even Isoroku Yamamoto and Narumi Inoue, who were involved in the matter, once again stepped into the War Department building. Of course, their deliberate act of sitting next to them and separating them from the army still made Ryosuke Isoya snort with disdain.

"Gentlemen, you can't be too happy yet, the plane has just left China, and it hasn't come back yet." Kenji Dohihara is still relatively calm, and he didn't dare to relax for a day before the plane returned to Japan. What's more, this matter was directed by the military department, and the prime minister and cabinet were very dissatisfied, and now there is so much pressure outside. It's hard to guarantee that they won't compromise and hand over the plane for the sake of the overall situation, so I'm still very worried: "Now that the people of China are surrounding ships all over the world to search for them, and they are openly sending warships to invade China's coastal waters, I am still very worried." And the Prime Minister's side. ”

"What does it matter, do they dare to challenge the authority of the Imperial Navy at sea?" When it comes to the navy, Fumiro Konoe is as confident as all Japanese people. Only Yamamoto Fifty-six, who was sitting in the corner, frowned. He was both happy and worried about the admiration of the navy that permeated the people, and now many Japanese people are pinning their hopes on the navy, and even the atmosphere of pride pervades the navy, which is a very wrong signal.

Nagata Tetsuyama and other army generals were also dissatisfied with this sentence. What is maritime authority? Could it be that Japan only has a navy left! The most dissatisfied Ryosuke Isoya snorted coldly in his heart. But now is not the time to tear faces, both Minoru Saito and the new prime minister Keisuke Okada are real power figures who came out of the navy, and now they hold the power of the country, plus the defeat of the two Sino-Japanese wars. So they're waiting for an opportunity.

Konoe Fumiro didn't know that his unintentional sentence would arouse the minds of both the land and sea factions, so much so that many things that happened later were related to this sentence. Ryosuke Isoya asked, "Konoe-kun, I heard that the prime minister is going to send a special envoy to Shina to compromise?" Is there such a thing? ”

There was a burst of embarrassment on Konoe Wenlu's face, don't look at his fierce screaming. As a matter of fact, the Japanese government and cabinet were still very dissatisfied with the military department's unauthorized theft of the plane, but since they had done so, they could not spit out the plane, so Keisuke Okada was ready to send a special envoy to Beijing to find a way to ease the atmosphere, but he did not expect to arouse the dissatisfaction of army officers such as Ryosuke Isoya.

Yamamoto Fifty-six, who was next to him, was not surprised: "The plane is already in our hands, and the compromise is to avoid it."

War. ”

"Yamamoto-kun, what do you mean by that? Could it be that the people of our army can die in vain? For this plane, our intelligence network in China is about to be completely destroyed, is it to pay such a big price for the sake of compromise? Ryosuke Isoya was very dissatisfied with Yamamoto's words, and the confrontation suggested that the other party cross the river and demolish the bridge.

Narumi Inoue next to her couldn't get used to this nonsense-filled "army horse manure", and snorted coldly: "What else does Isoya-kun want?" The goal has been achieved, is it necessary to fight an unprepared battle for the plane? ”

"Why isn't it ready? Most of the military funds squeezed out by tens of millions of citizens of the empire who were starving and starving have been taken by you, but you have not prepared for a war against China until now, why?! Did you go to Siemens to purchase again? ”

This sentence made Inoue Narumi's face change greatly, the Siemens incident is a shame for the Navy and a reverse scale, today it was uncovered and slapped in the face by someone, and it is also the most despised "army horse manure", how can you bear it? Yamamoto Fifty-six is also extraordinarily atmospheric, but he has always been calm, and pulled the angry Inoue Narumi to get up and said, "I'm sorry, we're leaving." When you come back from the plane, please be sure to send it to Mitsubishi immediately. ”

The two turned around and left without saying a word, especially before leaving, they also asked to send the plane to Mitsubishi Corporation, which made Ryosuke Isoya even more dissatisfied. You must know that Mitsubishi is a chaebol backed by the navy, doesn't this mean that the planes that were taken back at such a great price are cheap for the navy. Even Okamura Ninji felt that it should not be given to the navy easily: "Nagata-kun, you can't condone the navy like this, this plane was obtained by us, and after making such a big sacrifice and effort, it should be appropriately subsidized in military spending." ”

Nagata Tetsuyama understood what he meant, and he also wanted to exchange the plane for some concessions from the navy in military spending. But these are the things that will come later, and the main thing for now is to bring the plane back first and resolve the confrontation quickly. At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door, and Ryosuke Isoya, who was in a bad mood, opened the door and was about to scold, when a large Zuo brought the news.

"I reported that I had just received a telegram that there had been a movement of the Chinese army in North Korea. Two large coastal patrol ships have also crossed the Tsushima Strait, and it is very likely that the target is to cruise to the island of Tsukita. ”

The news made Kenji Dohihara sigh in his heart.

Revenge has finally come.

Off Vladivostok, two large coastal patrol ships with blue and white stripes painted on their hulls are slowly heading towards Sakhalin. In the distance to its right, the Japanese light cruiser Ball Mill was following all the way.

The coastal patrol ship is a special type of ship of the coast guard of the Republic of China, which is a kind of ship specially used to patrol the sea and protect fishing grounds and other low-level conflicts. But the light cruiser Kuma did not dare to be careless this time, because these two sea cruisers are so special!

These two coastal patrol ships were converted by the Republic of China Coast Guard from the retired Combined Forces-class battleships, mainly to remove the main and secondary guns, retain the armor, and flatten the back deck to install 6 water patrol aircraft and 8 anti-smuggling speedboats. A single-barreled 76-mm naval gun, two 40-mm rapid-fire guns and a large number of water cannons were installed in the bow, so that the displacement of both warships was reduced to 16,000 tons, which improved the problem of poor seaworthiness of the combined-force battleships, and the speed was also increased to 23 knots.

Coastal patrol ship converted from battleship.

Japan did not expect that such two heavily armored coastal patrol ships would intrude into the Sea of Japan, and because the other side was a non-combat ship of the Coast Guard and was on the high seas, the Japanese Navy could not fight or not. As for his coastal patrol boats, the firepower was not too weak because of the lack of tonnage, so they had to watch the other side swagger all the way north.

At a time when the Japanese Navy's attention was attracted by these two coastal patrol ships, the other four Republic of China coastal patrol ships took the opportunity to quietly set sail from Vladivostok and suddenly appeared north of Sakhalin Island along the coast of Temple Street under the protection of two destroyers, and blocked the two Japanese oil tankers at the wharf in the name of inspection, thus terminating the oil field and exporting oil to the outside world.

This is a stab in the hornet's nest!

Japan needs at least 20 million barrels of oil a year to barely get enough, of which 2.5 million barrels come from Sakhalin oil fields, and 500,000 barrels from small oil fields in Hokkaido and New Guinea, and the rest has to be imported. If even this 2.5 million barrels are gone, not to mention the financial pressure, once the import is cut off, the Japanese Navy may not even be able to make up the oil for leaving the port!

This punch directly hit Japan's biggest weakness.

Be sure to protect the oil!

In the Yokosuka military port, the top brass of the Japanese Navy gritted their teeth and ordered the Kongo and Aoba to depart immediately
