"Wake Island is now facing a major attack by the U.S. Army, and a division defending Wake Island is now facing an attack by two U.S. task force groups......"

In Tokyo, Japan, Hideki Tojo in the imperial base camp is listening to a report. None of the news that Japan has been able to get during this period of time has been good.

The Germans lost the Battle of Moscow and, after paying hundreds of thousands of casualties, were forced to retreat to positions outside the core of Moscow. Due to the huge losses of the navy, the shortage of oil made it impossible for the fleet to carry out long-distance patrols.

It was the Japanese army that could not contact the defense line in the Pacific Ocean at all, and the American army took the opportunity to launch an attack on the Pacific islands. Their first stop from Hawaii was Wake Island, the "stepping stone of the Pacific".

This island towering over the Pacific Ocean became a stepping stone for the U.S. military to attack the Japanese mainland. Although there are some army fighters and reconnaissance planes on the island, this is only a drop in the bucket compared with the three aircraft carriers of the 16th and 17th task forces of the US military and more than 20 support vessels.

The three US aircraft carriers carried more than 230 fighters, while the Japanese Army Air Force on Wake Island had less than 50 fighters.

The huge gap in numbers made the Japanese army fall into a bitter battle at the beginning of the battle.

"Wake Island must be defended, the choke point of the Pacific Ocean to the Empire! We must not allow the Americans to occupy this place! Hideki Tojo nodded on the table and said, "We still have a chance, as long as our allies win the victory on the battlefield of the Soviet Union, we will also win the victory!" ”

"Call the Captain of the Wake Island Garrison, and I order him in the name of the base camp that he must hold Wake Island! At least he will hold on for more than a month! Hideki Tojo waved his hand. Said: "Tell the Navy's Koga Mineichi that I will scrape together enough fuel for him to sail within ten days!" The fleet of the US army, it will be up to them to deal with it! ”

Ishihara, who was sitting in the most remote part of the conference room, all smiled sarcastically. In his opinion, the decision made by Hideki Tojo, a senior soldier, was extremely brainless.

Is the U.S. fleet so easy to pack?! If he was sure, Yamamoto Fifty-six would not have used such an action as a sneak attack. Now the U.S. fleet has been repaired and has recovered most of its strength.

At this time, the Navy has to be sent to death, isn't this a brain deficiency?! Even if the Japanese Navy were intact against the U.S. Navy, the victory or defeat would be no more than five or five.

The now crippled Japanese Navy, under the leadership of Isoroku Yamamoto, attempted to annihilate the U.S. fleet. Ishihara could have imagined what they would encounter on the sea.

"Ishihara! Do you disagree?! If so, it can be brought up now. "Although I kicked Ishihara to the edge. But Hideki Tojo didn't dare to go too far.

After all, Ishihara Wan'er is a person with a certain reputation, and he is also a confidant of Xianyuan Gong Zairen. cleaned him up to death, Xianyuan Gong Zairen may not be willing.

"Oh~no. Sir. I don't have any opinion, you just do what you want. Ishihara stood up lazily, bowed to Tojo casually, and said, "I'm not feeling well, so I'll leave first." I believe that Your Excellency will handle all these battle matters......"

After speaking. Without waiting for Hideki Tojo to agree, Ishihara walked straight out of the conference room. Hideki Tojo looked at Ishihara's appearance. Angry and want to kill!

It's not the first time Ishihara has done this, and he hasn't given face to the new chief at meetings several times. This made Tojo very angry.

Although the other generals were expressionless, they laughed miserably in their hearts. In fact, most of these generals were from Lu University, and they didn't look down on Hideki Tojo at all.

But everyone still has to do some superficial work, so although everyone wants to walk away in a chic way like Ishihara. But in the end, no one did.

"Your Excellency, let's continue the meeting......" After Ishihara walked out, the venue fell into a strange and embarrassing atmosphere. Seeing this, Tojo's secretary could only deliberately open his voice to relieve Tojo Hideki.

"Hmm...... Ishihara-kun is uncomfortable. Then let him rest. Let's keep the meeting going! Hideki Tojo saw a smile in the eyes of the generals present.

Fighting in good spirits, Hideki Tojo continued: "Although the navy will support Wake Island, we can't easily abandon Guam and the Mariana Islands!" This time. We should send more troops to build more fortifications on these islands to defend against the imminent attack of the US military......"

"The Iwo Jima region is the most important of the priorities, and this is the lifeblood of the Empire! It will not be easily lost, and the Wehrmacht Navy will not be able to launch an attack on our homeland for the time being. That's why I decided to send all the Imperial Elite to Guam and Iwo Jima to garrison ......."

Whether or not they were convinced by Hideki Tojo, this senior soldier was their commander-in-chief. All the Japanese generals had to obey his orders.

After the general strategy was determined, a large number of Japanese troops began to be mobilized. But to Tojo's surprise, the Navy's Koga Mineichi actually rejected Tojo's proposal.

"Koga! What do you mean?! Now that the empire is on the verge of survival, do you still want to worry about your little care?! Hideki Tojo was extremely annoyed and directly asked Koga Fengichi to see him.

Koga Mineichi couldn't refuse this request, so he could only go to the base camp to explain.

"Your Excellency, I have no intention of offending you. But what I want to say is, do you think our fleet going to Wake Island will be effective?! Or how long will our navy's sacrifice be able to keep Wake Island?! ”

Hideki Tojo was dumbfounded, to be honest, he really couldn't answer these questions. The order he just gave was a bit of a negative element in it. He simply thought that since the U.S. Navy had been dispatched, the Imperial Navy should also be in the war.

As for the oil, I will make it up for the Navy. And the same is true for fighters, he will use the limited steel to produce fighters for the navy to supply their combat needs.

"Red Deer Noro! Are we going to watch the islands of the Empire fall, watch our warriors fight and remain indifferent?! Is such a soldier still an emperor?! ”

Annoyed and angry, Hideki Tojo can't do anything else, but he is very good at buttoning up his hat and playing sensational tactics. For example, at the end of World War II, he constantly agitated for "the whole people's jade shattering".

It's a pity that this product is just encouraging others to break jade. He still cherishes his life. In the end, even if he was forced to do so, he did not commit suicide by disembowelment in the spirit of bushido, but committed suicide with a gun.

It's just a matter of lifting a gun to commit suicide, but he also beat the crooked flute to survive. lost face, and was finally dragged out and hanged like a dog.

"Of course we care about the sacrifices of the Imperial warriors, but we also care more about how to defend the empire!" Koga Mine held back his anger and said to Hideki Tojo.

"Wake Island is obviously undefendable, why do you have to spend troops in vain at this time?! We should concentrate all our limited forces and use them to defend the outer island circle on the mainland......"

"Traitor! Are you telling me to give up the territory of the Empire?! Those territories were fought down by the predecessors of the empire with their blood and lives, and it is impossible for me to give up as a soldier!! ”

Hideki Tojo habitually said that the righteousness was awe-inspiring, while Koga Mineichi was completely enraged. But when he saw him, he also stood up and roared loudly.

"What other effective decisions can you make than talk this useless nonsense?! Who doesn't know that those are the territories of the Empire?! Who doesn't know, those were beaten down by the emperor ** people with blood and life?! ”

"But what capital do we have first to hold those places?! Without Southeast Asia, our oil would have been cut off. To put it bluntly, we're just waiting to die! If we can survive the American attack on us, we will be able to survive for a while, and we may even have a chance to surrender to the United States and preserve the empire......"

"Red Deer Noro! Coward! Traitor!! Could it be that you, as a soldier, will only surrender and not fight?! Hideki Tojo was furious, pointed at Koga Mine and roared: "In Tojo's dictionary, there is no surrender, only death for the empire!" And a navy like yours probably only has the idea of surrender on the mind, right?! What else can you do?! ”

After all, Koga Mineichi is just a soldier, and he is no match for an old politician like Hideki Tojo in terms of scolding and reversing black and white. But seeing that his angry face was blue for a while, and it was white for a while before he gritted his teeth and said.

"I finally understand why we failed, because there are too many 'superior soldiers' in the Empire! These fools will only charge, and will not fight at all! That's why we fail, keep failing! ”

"Damn it! Come! Drag this traitor out! "Hideki Tojo hates others calling him a superior soldier the most, and Koga Mineichi's words can be said to touch his most painful point.

"I'm going to get rid of you! People like you shouldn't stay in the heroic emperor's ** team! Being with you is the biggest stain on my life......"

"Army horse manure for idiots! You probably only have a few flesh skin fish bones in your head, right?! I advise you to get out of here, and don't let the heroic soldiers of the empire go to their deaths in this position......"

Torn his face, Koga Fengichi also unceremoniously scolded Hideki Tojo. Anyway, the army and navy have always been mortal enemies, and such scolding is not once or twice. Koga didn't think Tojo had the qualifications or authority to remove him from his position.

"That private?! He was able to manage the 20 machine guns in the warehouse, which I believe, and it would be difficult to say more than 20; …… This private was able to take the trouble to write everything down in his notebook. But how to use these notes is beyond his ability......"

At the same time, Ishihara sneered in a tavern outside the base camp and said to the office building of the base camp with a wine glass: "Come! To our chief with the stone in his head, I hope he won't let the Imperial soldiers die too much......" (To be continued......
