Chapter 5 Gu's Manor
Tsukahara and the others were thrilled to think of the benefits of conquering Southeast Asia, but Yamamoto maintained a high level of calm throughout. Based on his in-depth knowledge of the U.S. situation, he believed that the U.S. would inevitably become a formidable rival on the road to imperial expansion, and the two countries would eventually have a war, but at the same time he could not make up his mind.
When the Hainan Raid was first launched, it was originally intended to attack the US colonies in Southeast Asia and lay a leading stop. It's just that I thought that even if the Cadet Army had a garrison in the wild land of Hainan, the strength would be very weak, and this battle should be nine out of ten. A battleship was lost, and there were as many as a wing of dead and wounded, not to mention the supply ships and supplies lost in the air raid. This dealt a heavy blow to Yamamoto. Hainan is full of feathers, which also means that in the future, troops in Southeast Asia will only be able to get supplies from Taiwan. However, in view of the strong long-range air strike power of the Cadet Army, the safety of this supply line from Taiwan to Southeast Asia is really worrying! After returning to Nagasaki, although the news of the victory brought back by the Osaka Division avoided the criticism of the base camp, Yamamoto and others knew that it was a joke. If they hadn't dealt with the Osaka Division, maybe they would have believed it. After all, as one of the twenty standing divisions of the empire, the combat effectiveness of the Osaka division is limited, no matter how bad it is. But now, when they thought that the Osaka Division would flee from the battle, not to mention providing support to the marines, and even dragging the entire campaign back, they could only look at each other with a bitter smile except for lamentation. The Osaka Division was a major reason for the failure of the Hainan Raiders, and in addition, the scientific and technological strength of the Cadet Army was another reason why they had to choose to retreat.
Radar, I didn't expect that such a small warlord armed as the Cadet Army has such a high-tech product as radar, is this the advantage of later generations? Yamamoto looked at Koizumi and sighed again in his heart - they are also descendants, but Koizumi is much more immature than Ouyang Yun. Well, I hope that the failure of the Hainan Raiders this time will make him mature quickly. Thinking of this, Yamamoto shifted his thoughts to Koizumi's topic and asked: "It is necessary to hibernate for a while, after all, it will take a while for the construction of a new aircraft carrier." But what about Taiwan? What about the Cadet Army? Ouyang Yun is developing an aircraft carrier fleet, let him become bigger? How do you think about these questions? ”
Yamamoto proposed to study the army, and Koizumi's heart cramped again. Whether he admitted it or not, Ouyang Yun and the Xuebing Army had now become his nightmare. The combined fleet rushed to Hainan in a rage, but returned in disgrace, which was too great a blow to Koizumi. Before the battle, he was full of belief in victory, but who knew that Lu Dao failed to fight Ouyang Yun face-to-face, and he was defeated by one of his subordinates, which made Xiaoquan feel ashamed. His complexion changed, his eyes narrowed, and he said, "It's no longer realistic to talk about how to train the army now. It's my fault! Unexpectedly, Ouyang Yun even developed radar, and it could cover such a vast sea area. Now, it is only possible to stop them from developing aircraft carriers with all their might. I don't know how Sagawa Santaka and them are going? ”
Soon after Koizumi was accepted by Yamamoto, he learned that the Cadet Army had an aircraft carrier plan in the United States, and immediately said that Yamamoto would send people to the United States to sabotage it. It's been more than three months, and if they do something, there should be information coming back, but so far, Sagawa hasn't sent back any useful information.
Sagawa Mitaka is Yamamoto's confidant. "Sagawa hasn't sent back to Japan for more than a month, and I suspect their operation has failed," Yamamoto said. It seems that it is necessary to organize new actions. We can tolerate the growth of the cadet army on land, but we must not allow them to develop an aircraft carrier fleet! Koizumi, you are solely responsible for this matter! ”
"Hay!"
On the other side of the Atlantic, after the news of Britain and France's declaration of war on Germany was disclosed by the major American media, it immediately became a topic that Americans must talk about before and after dinner. At that time, the Americans had a deep "sense of justice" and "sympathy", and in the war between Britain and France, the two allies of World War I and Germany, a rogue state, they naturally stood on the side of Britain and France.
The Americans' distinct attitude toward Britain, France, and Germany has affected the cadets and soldiers in the United States. Except for some special posts in which the age of the cadet soldiers in the United States is older, the vast majority of them are young men and girls, and it is not surprising that they are easily affected by the humanistic environment when their sense of justice is the strongest. On September 7, at about half past five o'clock in the afternoon, in Washington, D.C., in a manor of the Gu Consortium in Flushing, Queens, New York City, more than a dozen young men and big girls were sitting on the grass and discussing something enthusiastically, when suddenly a young man shouted: "Mr. Gu has arrived." Shouting, the man was already on his feet.
Everyone followed his gaze and saw Gu Lianyun walking over accompanied by Old Man Gu Yu, and they all stood up immediately.
Gu Lianyun held a telegram in her right hand, approached her, and said, "Let's sit down." ”
"Mr. Gu is good, the old man is good!"
"Okay, everyone," Gu Yu smiled kindly, then stepped aside and sat down.
Gu Lianyun nodded at everyone, sat down at the top of everyone, raised his right hand and said, "There was a call from China just now, and this time we sent a large army, more than 600 people." The vast majority of them will go to the US naval base, and there are a few who need to be focused on. Next, let's discuss the specific operation process. ”
The issue of training the arms and personnel related to the aircraft carrier was easily solved because of the presence of the Skull and the Zionist Organization. However, this time, considering that Chen Shichang still has several captains who are going to enter the active aircraft carrier fleet of the United States for a close look, it is a little difficult to operate. Although the U.S. government and the military have a cooperative relationship with the Cadet Army, even the Skeleton Society, which has great energy, does not dare to come forward to guarantee military secrets. Neither the Skull and the Jewish Zionist can help, so it's better to do it yourself. The Gu consortium has been operating in the United States for three or four years, and has already established relationships in all aspects of the United States, and now is the time to use those connections.
The sky was getting dark, the meeting place was moved from the outside to the house, Gu Lianyun and the others were still discussing enthusiastically, and Gu Yu was busy giving everyone dinner. And just as he was about to go to the temporary conference room to ask Gu Lianyun if he could have a meal, a dog barking suddenly sounded at the gate of the manor.
Gu Yu looked at his watch and found that it was already half past seven, and he couldn't help frowning and muttering: "It's all this time, who will come to Gu's Manor?" ”
