"Gentlemen, what shall we do now? The officers in the navy were very dissatisfied with this failure. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIf we can't find a suitable excuse, I'm afraid it will be difficult to clean up. General Shigetaro Shimada said with a solemn face.

General Nagano and General Yamamoto Fifty-six also had very unsightly expressions on their faces. After all, the Japanese army has always had a tradition of going down to the top. Those officers in the middle and lower ranks, seemingly in low ranks, do not have much power. However, once they are in the name of crusading against traitors for the country, even the prime minister dares to kill. Not to mention the so-called three commanders of the Navy.

Of course, this time there were so many warships lost. If one of the three commanders of the Navy is to be held accountable, there is no problem at all. After all, not only battleships, but also aircraft carriers were lost. Such losses were too heavy for the Japanese navy.

"Otherwise, let Lieutenant Commander Jizaburo Ozawa bear the responsibility for this defeat. After all, we handed over such a powerful fleet to him, and he was defeated by the Shina people and suffered such heavy losses. General Nagano suggested.

Vice Admiral Jizaburo Ozawa is returning with the remnants of the task force. However, these high-ranking naval officers are already discussing to withdraw him as a scapegoat.

"No, this loss is not because of Ozawa-kun. It's because the people of China are too powerful. None of us expected that the Chinese would have such a powerful carrier-based aircraft force. The Americans gave the Chinese people, too much support. From F4U fighters, SBD2 dive bombers and TBD torpedo attack aircraft, everything is available. These are all special carrier-based aircraft for naval warfare! There are almost two hundred of them. Ozawa-kun was able to keep an aircraft carrier, and that was already great luck. "Yamamoto Fifty-six will immediately refuse.

After all, it was he who proposed the proposal of Vice Admiral Jizaburo Ozawa to be the commander of the task force. At the same time, Lieutenant General Jizaburo Ozawa is still a general he is very optimistic about. If you want to take responsibility for this failure, not only will your career be ruined because of this, but even your life will be lost. Admiral Yamamoto Fifty-six could not watch the outstanding generals of the Navy be destroyed like this.

"If Lieutenant Commander Jizaburo Ozawa is not held accountable in the future, do you want us to take responsibility?" General Nagano was a little dissatisfied with General Yamamoto's 56 protection of Lieutenant General Ozawa Jizaburo.

"Humph! If I step down and can stop the officers of the Navy from being angry, that's no problem, I can step down at all. General Yamamoto said coldly.

"You ......" General Nagano was stunned for a moment. Fools know how high Admiral Yamamoto is in the Japanese navy. After leading the Combined Fleet to a successful sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, Admiral Yamamoto's 56th Admiral can be said to be in high esteem, even catching up with Marshal Heihachiro Togo. Within the navy, there have also been voices that Yamamoto will be promoted to Marshal 56. If he steps down because of this defeat, it will not only not calm the anger of those naval officers, but will make them even angrier.

"Alright, Nagano-kun, Yamamoto-kun, you guys don't quarrel anymore. Now, too, is not the time to be impressed. Although holding Lieutenant Commander Jizaburo Ozawa responsible for this defeat may be able to calm the anger of the officers. However, Vice Admiral Jizaburo Ozawa is a rare talent in the Navy, and we cannot afford to sacrifice him at will. "General Shigetaro Shigetaro had to come out and play the round.

"So what are we going to do? Do nothing and let the situation deteriorate further? General Nagano was a little angry.

"Of course not! This time, the Navy, of course, failed. But why are we suffering such losses? Isn't it to wipe the butts of those Army guys? So, those guys in the army should give us an explanation. Senior General Shigetaro Shimada said.

Only by asking the army to give them an explanation, in this way, can the officers of the navy be satisfied, and at the same time can they not sacrifice Vice Admiral Jizaburo Ozawa. It's undoubtedly the best of both worlds.

General Nagano and General Yamamoto are both eye-catching.

"Shimada-kun, this is indeed a good idea. But will the army's gang of horse manure agree? General Nagano asked.

"Humph! If they don't agree, the Navy won't be able to support them anymore. In addition, I believe that Prime Minister Tojo will handle this matter fairly. Senior General Shigetaro Shimada said.

At this time, the secretary of General Shigetaro Shimada walked in.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency the Prime Minister has just called. He said that the commander of the Southern Army, General Terauchi Shouichi, had already taken the initiative to request that he be transferred from his current post. The prime minister said that the headquarters was already preparing to approve the resignation of General Terauchi Shouichi. The secretary said.

The three admirals present were stunned for a moment. Obviously, they did not expect that General Terauchi Shouichi would take the initiative to give up his position as commander of the Southern Army.

"Alright, we know, you go out." Senior General Shigetaro Shimada said.

The secretary bowed and exited the office.

"That guy Shouichi Terauchi isn't stupid. It seems that he did not completely rely on his father's Yu Yin to get to where he is today. General Yamamoto sighed.

"Yes! He took the initiative to resign, which undoubtedly gave the army an explanation. At the same time, the Navy is also able to explain the past here. An army general resigned from his current position. will even retire from active service, and will already be able to block everyone's mouth. General Nagano also said.

"Two, it seems that we don't need to worry about this anymore." Senior General Shigetaro Shimada said.

"No, although Terauchi Shou stepped off the stage, it seems to have given us an explanation. However, the losses of the Navy were still not compensated. We can ask Your Excellency the Prime Minister to approve our new shipbuilding program under the pretext that we want to regain our strength. If His Excellency the Prime Minister can approve it, then those officers will no longer complain. General Nagano suggested.

"That's a good idea, I'll go see His Excellency the Prime Minister right away." Senior General Shigetaro Shirataro nodded repeatedly.

The effects of the fiasco of the Japanese naval task force dissipated in this way. Admiral Terauchi Shouichi stepped down, and at the same time, Prime Minister Hideki Tojo approved a new round of the Navy's shipbuilding plan. So, those naval officers were satisfied. I didn't say anything more.
