Vice Admiral Nagumo Tadaichi, commander of the Japanese Navy's task force, after listening to the words of Kobayashi Hideizumi, chief of staff of the fleet, swept his eyes around the faces of the three young Zhuang faction officers, and let out a faint "um", but he was noncommittal, obviously not interested in this information.\\

In fact, there is still a trace of unhappiness in Nanyun's heart, Xiao Lin's words are a little taboo, what do you mean by "we," is it the three of you who can represent the entire task force? The task force can only belong to Nagumo Tadaichi!

If it were another commander of the Japanese army, this was nothing trivial at all, and it belonged to the idea of picking bones in the egg, but it was not a trivial matter to put it on Vice Admiral Nagumo, who was known for his conservatism and rigidity in the Japanese Navy.

Rear Admiral Kobayashi Hideizumi, when he saw the appearance of the commander, "chuckled" in his heart, and suddenly realized that he was happy to patronize, and between his words, his Excellency the commander, who was old-fashioned and regarded himself very highly, was not very comfortable, and he was busy making a look at Yohei Kono, the director of the fleet intelligence, and asked him to take the conversation over, so as not to embarrass himself.

Yohei Kono hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, the content of the telegram received by the Intelligence Division is this: about six hundred nautical miles northwest of Hawaii Island, in the waters near Midway, there should be a US Pacific Fleet aircraft carrier formation. ”

"A lot of reliability? The identity of the person providing the information, the source of the cable, and why it was sent directly to the Task Force Intelligence Division and not forwarded by the local intelligence services? Are they all verified? After Nagumo Zhong's rhetorical question, a few questions followed, like cannonballs, smashed towards Yohei Kono.

Yohei Kono's face turned red, and he replied honestly, "Your Excellency, commander, be honest. It could not be verified, and the Intelligence Division was unable to verify the identity of the sender, his affiliation, let alone the location of the report. However, this information was sent directly through the top-secret code of the Guò task force, and you know, no agency knows this set of codes except for the base camp and the headquarters of the Combined Fleet. ”

From this, the identity of the sender. It should be our Imperial Japan's overseas intelligence agency, an agent lurking on Hawaii Island or within the top echelons of the US military, otherwise, it would not have mastered the US Pacific Fleet. The fighter plane is fleeting, and it is reasonable to do so! ”

Nan Yunzhong smiled faintly. With a non-angry and arrogant gaze, with a bit of mockery, he looked at Yohei Kono and said: "Kono-kun, your reasons are all based on speculation, and none of them can stand up to scrutiny. ”

looked at Yohei Kono's stunned appearance. Nagumo continued, "What would you do if Kono-kun were the commander of the task force? Okay, let's all go back to their respective posts, tomorrow, the fleet will return at the normal time, and there will be a lot of preparations to be made. Don't waste any more energy on this so-called intelligence! ”

In a word, Commander Nagumo didn't believe this information at all, and his tone was full of disdain, for the two major generals and one Dazuo, with a piece of false information, he couldn't hold his breath, and on a stormy night, Baba rushed over, and there was a bit of ridicule.

The chief of staff, Rear Admiral Kobayashi Hideizumi, had just eaten a deflated face, his face was red and his mouth was foaming, and he was about to continue arguing, Rear Admiral Yoshitomo Tani, commander of the task force aviation, could not hold his breath, his power was more independent than that of Kobayashi Hidesen and Kono Yohei, the fleet commander commanded the entire fleet, but he commanded all the aircraft.

Therefore, Nagumo Tadaichi's fear was relatively much worse, and he said: "Your Excellency, whether this information is true or not, it has provided the only clue to our task force fleet and the killing of the American aircraft carriers, and the Battle of Pearl Harbor, our fleet fought very smoothly, which cannot be separated from the wise command of His Excellency the Commander." ”

Then, the conversation changed and said: "However, we should also see that the US warships sunk inside Pearl Harbor did not have those four aircraft carriers, that is to say, our raid on Pearl Harbor was not perfect, I personally built a task force, immediately set off, rushed to the waters near Midway Island, search for the Americans' aircraft carriers, carrier-based reconnaissance planes, can take off in the rain, go to reconnoitre, and wait for dawn, the truth will be revealed, and it will not affect the normal return of the fleet!" ”

Tani Yuyo Yoshitomo's words, to the point, can be the best of both worlds, the task force returned to the Japanese mainland, it was supposed to pass through the waters of Midway, it was nothing more than an early return voyage, Kobayashi Hidesen and Kono Yoshi couldn't help nodding their heads again and again, and they almost opened their mouths to shout.

Nanyun Zhongyi's face became gloomy, and he asked, "So, the three of you, all agree with Gu Xiongjun's construction?" ”

The three officers who rushed over, but were poured cold water on the head by Nanyun Zhongyi, couldn't get used to Nanyun always putting on a stinky shelf of his predecessors in the Navy, and he also had a lot of slander for his old-fashioned approach, the Pearl Harbor raid, without sinking the Americans' aircraft carrier, could not be regarded as a perfect ending, and now, with such an opportunity, how can I try it.

Therefore, the three militants nodded in unison, and Kobayashi Xiuquan said bluntly: "Gu Xiongjun's construction is the safest way, commander, don't hesitate anymore!" ”

These words ignited Nanyun Zhongyi's anger, and he put the wine glass in his hand on the table heavily, and his voice was raised a few degrees, and he said in an unkind tone: "Opportunity? Stupidity! Immature! Is it an opportunity or a trap? How many battles have you fought? The waters off Midway, including Hawaii Island, are completely enveloped in the air strike radius of US land-based aviation! ”

"Let me scoop up the Japanese Imperial Task Force to go on an adventure, thanks to you, our planned return route is south of Midway, and now, for the sake of a very suspicious piece of information, we have to change course and rush to the northwest waters of Midway, the distance between the two is more than 800 nautical miles in a straight line, is it not hesitant to send the fleet to the American bombers? It's more like a soldier of the Great Japanese Empire? ”

These words are heavy enough, with guns and sticks, splitting heads and covering brains, smashing two major generals and one big Zuo with gold stars in their eyes, dry mouth open, can't say a word, the commander is on the line, it is useless to continue to talk, and it is useless, the three of them bowed deeply, and withdrew without thinking.

Nagumo exhaled a sullen breath in his chest, from his heart, he didn't believe this intelligence at all, he even suspected that this was a trap set by the US intelligence agency for the task force, the raid on Pearl Harbor, twelve hours have passed, the Americans can fully react, for the task force of the Pacific Fleet, can the Americans let it go?

Returning home as much as possible and bringing the fleet back to the mainland intact, this is the right thing, to go deeper, Nagumo Tadaichi has his own plans, looking around the waters near Hawaii, his task force is definitely alone, after the victory at Pearl Harbor that shocked the world, Nagumo can't think of causing unexpected losses to the fleet, and maintaining an undefeated record is more important to himself!

Just when Nagumo was suffering from gains and losses, Kobayashi Hideizumi, Kono Yohei, and Tanio Yoshitomo were so angry that they didn't go back separately, but gathered in the chief of staff's cabin and continued to discuss this matter.

Kobayashi Hidesen gritted his teeth and said: "Commander Nagumo is a missed opportunity to do this, these four American aircraft carriers, the threat to our Great Japanese Empire is really too great, for the sake of today's plan, we can only go over Nagumo, this old guy, and report directly to the commander of the Combined Fleet, Admiral Yamamoto, and ask him to rule at this time, otherwise, once we lose this opportunity as the intelligence said, we will regret it for the rest of our lives, and we will be sorry for His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

The three of them geared up and decided to get rid of Nagumo Tadaichi, and overstepped the level to report the situation, and Gu Xiong Yoshitomo said even more murderously: "Kobayashi-kun, Kono-kun, regardless of whether Commander Nagumo allows it or not, the carrier-based reconnaissance plane must be dispatched immediately and fly to the waters of Midway Island to search for the Americans' aircraft carrier!" ”

Xiao Lin said worriedly: "Gu Xiongjun, under such weather conditions, the danger of taking off is too great!" If you don't get it right, the plane will be ruined! ”

Gu Xiong Liangyou smiled coldly and replied: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff don't worry, I will personally lead the team and drive the reconnaissance plane to reconnoitre. For the sake of the Japanese Empire, even if you die, you will not regret it! ”

If the result of the reconnaissance is that the intelligence is wrong, there is no American aircraft carrier at all, and the three of them will not be ruined in the navy, but they will also have a bleak future, at the very least, they will not be able to get mixed up in the task force, and there is no such fleet commander, who can like to stab his subordinates who go to the top at every turn, and commit taboos! ”

The decision was made, and the three more crazy senior officers of the Japanese Navy shot a crazy light in their eyes, and the three hands clasped tightly together, and shouted in a low voice: "For His Majesty the Emperor, for the sake of the Great Japanese Empire!" Banzai! Then, without hesitation, he plunged into the wind and rain and prepared separately.

Nagumo Zhongyi, who was already asleep, never thought that three subordinates, behind their backs, would do such an outrageous and crazy thing!
