Chapter 180 180 This is a crooked statement

"What do you mean?" Lin Mijuro stared at Tachibana Qin Li suspiciously.

It seems that the admirals of the navy already know what Tachibana Qin Li intends to say, and they all keep a straight face, it seems that they don't intend to stop this naval god, but they don't want to wade into troubled waters.

Probably at the Navy's own emergency meeting, Tachibana had already spoken his thoughts.

If her idea was rejected, she would not be able to appear at the Imperial Council now, and the people of the Navy would not give her a chance to poke out a proposal that had already been rejected within the Navy at the Imperial Council.

In other words, the navy did not veto Tachibana's plan, but they felt that they could not make a decision on this plan, and they did not want to bear the risks brought by the plan, so they simply did not act and put it to the imperial meeting for Emperor Hirohito to make a decision. The people in the army may not be very good at fighting, but they still have this kind of political acumen. The high-ranking Japanese officers of this plane, like the other plane, have become politically animalistic.

A soldier who becomes a complete political animal will not be able to fight a good war.

But they are better at fighting for power than pure soldiers, so the upper echelons of Japan in both planes are crowded with fools who fight for power but are very good at fighting for power.

Now, the "fools" of the army almost immediately read the mind of the navy, and they were all wary of the plan that Tachibana was going to propose.

Emperor Hirohito was not a fool, how could he not understand the direction of the wind at the conference table, he was already a little tired of the infighting between the navy and the army, so he was full of curiosity about Tachibana's plan.

So after Lin Mi Shilang's voice fell, he immediately answered: "Miss Tachibana, please tell us your thoughts in detail." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Tachibana stood up, "Your Majesty, the only advantage that my imperial kingdom has in the face of the United States is the number of gods. There are only three goddesses in the United States, but my kingdom is small, but there are five goddesses. If the United States wants to go to war against us, it must gather the whole nation in one place. For the sake of safety, they would have to concentrate the goddess in Hawaii after the Atlantic Fleet had also arrived on Oahu. Before we launched an attack on Pearl Harbor on Oahu, we only needed to send three gods to be able to inflict a heavy blow on the American gods stationed on Oahu......"

"That's nonsense." War Minister Hayashi Mijuro interrupted Tachibana Kotori's words, "If three gods are dispatched, if the attacking fleet encounters any accidents and is annihilated in the sea, the foundation of the Japanese nation will also be destroyed." I'm not a god, but I also know that no god can fly back to Honshu Island from the depths of the sea on her own. ”

"But if we don't," Tachibana was not discouraged, "when the U.S. fleet came at us with three gods, even if we dispatched all five gods, we wouldn't be sure to pose enough threats to the U.S. fleet under the enemy's control!" The heavy armor of the battleship is also a big trouble for the gods, and with the interference of three American gods and a large number of battle queens, there is no way to ......"

"Actually, it's worse than you think." Emperor Hirohito suddenly spoke, "Miss Tachibana, we may not be able to dispatch five ...... with complete combat strength."

"Your Majesty." The Duke of Xiyuan Temple, who was already over the age of his prime, said in a calm but majestic tone, "This matter is the top secret of the Imperial Kingdom. ”

"The imperial kingdom is almost gone, and at this critical moment of life and death, the generals who decide the war should be let know the true situation." Emperor Hirohito didn't know where he got his toughness, and he actually confronted Saionji Gongwang, who represented the interests of the main chaebols in Japan, head-on, "Ladies and gentlemen, the imperial kingdom does not have five gods with complete combat power. A previous accident caused the god of the Inu God clan to be severely damaged, and her current combat power may only be one-third of that of a normal god. ”

The generals of the army and navy all looked at each other, obviously they didn't know the news, such a big thing, almost the military power that controlled Japanese politics was completely in the dark, and the impact on them was not even lost to the news that the US Congress authorized the US president to use the armed forces - well, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang is also strictly speaking a part of the military force, but this veteran did not reveal the slightest rumor to the juniors.

At this time, Tachibana said loudly: "In this case, it is all the more necessary to take the initiative to attack, when the American fleet opens to the door, we have no chance of winning, they will use naval guns to blow up all the cities and factories near our coastline, and we are completely powerless to prevent such a thing from happening." The operation of the Imperial Kingdom for so many years will be ruined in one fell swoop! Ladies and gentlemen, there is nothing to hesitate about, in the current situation, you can only bet on the national fortunes of the imperial kingdom to take the initiative! ”

"Three gods will be dispatched at once," said Prince Jaehito, chief of staff of the army, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, "in this case, there will definitely be a hole in the defenses of Manchuria, Korea, and Honshu Island." If we had five Misses, we could have given two of them a try, but now ......"

"Two is definitely not enough," Tachibana Kori simply interrupted Prince Zaihito's words, "at least three Divine Princesses are needed." The words of the two gods can guarantee a two-on-one flanking advantage against the American gods, but if the American fleet comes out to attack our fleet, there will be no gods who can protect our fleet. The fleet can only rely on its own combat strength to contend with the powerful Pacific Fleet, and at this stage, only Nagato Mutsu is more advanced in our army, and it is really not an opponent of the US battleship group. ”

"You still have the moon, the moon, the fire, the water, the wood, the gold." The Army Under-Chief of Staff, who was present at the Imperial Council, sneered.

"That's enough." Emperor Hirohito scolded, "Don't challenge my endurance anymore. ”

The Deputy Chief of Staff immediately bowed to the Emperor and closed his mouth tightly.

At this time, Tachibana continued: "Actually, as long as we keep it strictly secret, then until the attack begins, the countries of the World Realm will not get the news that we have dispatched three divine concubines, and no matter how they want to take advantage of this opportunity, they will not have enough time to take action. For example, if Ming had planned to take advantage of this opportunity to retake Manchuria, it would have taken at least a few weeks for them to mobilize their troops, by which time our fleet would have returned victorious. Could it be that the people of the army don't even have the confidence to block the offensive launched by the Ming Empire in a hurry? Also, do you think that the Imperial Army will definitely collapse at the touch of a button when facing the other side of the god alone? ”

In this time and space, a very important duty of the regular army is to consume the spiritual power of the god as much as possible when facing the opponent's god concubine, and create an advantage for their own god concubine.

"You!" Or the deputy chief of staff, it seems that at today's meeting, he was arranged to play such an uncalm role.

And this time, the Minister of War Hayashi coughed, and then glared at the second chief.

Then Hayashi turned to Tachibana Kotori: "Of course, the army is confident that it will protect the interests of the Japanese Empire in the process of the fleet's return. However, we are still worried, what if the fleet does not come back? This block is a bit too big. ”

"War is a big gamble," Tachibana did not back down, "than the plan of sticking to the homeland, there is still a way to survive by taking the initiative, and if it succeeds, it can even make the United States give up its plan to occupy Japan." ”

"But in this way, won't the United States and us not die?" This time it was Xiyuan Temple Gongwang who was questioned, although the old man was too old to look good, but his thinking was very clear.

"That's why I just emphasized the 'heavy blow', if we kill the American gods, the Americans are likely to die and use their strong national strength and resource advantages to completely consume us."

"This is too strange," Xiyuan Temple Gongwang shook his head slowly, "The killing can't make the Americans stop, but the heavy damage can, maybe I'm old, I can't understand this logic." ”

In the face of the old man's words, Tachibana Qinli, who had just answered fluently, was silent.

Because this logic is indeed a bit unsmooth.

This is also the biggest death hole in Tachibana's plan, and she has no way to guarantee that the Americans will definitely give up their plan to occupy Japan after the attack is successful.

Perhaps after the attack is successful, the Americans will smash the pot and sell iron to kill Japan, and Japan will not be able to bear it either.

Even the old powers such as Britain and France still have to fear the powerful industrial and economic capabilities of the United States, and Japan, which is still the little brother on the stage of the world, cannot not be afraid. To put it mildly, as long as the Americans are willing to die, and even without using Shenji, a steady stream of mass-produced warships will be sent to the vicinity of the Japanese coastline, and Japan will be piled to death - Shenji's dismantling of battleships is too mentally exhausting.

In this way, the meeting, which had just begun to have a bit of a discussion atmosphere, became the same as before.

In addition to Tachibana Kotori, who was still standing, the generals of the navy and army were all incarnated into the stone statues of Jizo on the side of the road, sitting still, and strictly observing the golden rule that silence is golden.

Tachibana pursed her lips and looked at the admirals beside her who had been silent since the beginning, the expressions on her faces were mixed with grievance and tragedy.

At this moment, Emperor Hirohito sighed.

"I have decided that in the future, I will focus on the decisive battle on the mainland and formulate a combat plan."

Tachibana closed her eyes and let out a long sigh.

She suddenly thought of her friend who was far away in Germany.

Since childhood, the fox has always been able to accurately predict danger and avoid it. She often dragged Qin Li to do all kinds of deviant things, and then she could always get out of the way, leaving Qin Li alone.

This time, she got it right again.

Qin Li couldn't help but think of the night before the fox left for Germany, the two of them drank under the moon, when the fox jokingly said, "Maybe this parting is goodbye", I didn't expect this to be crooked.

- I wonder if she will feel even a little sentimental when she sees the news of her heroic death?
