316. Disaster?
In the afternoon of the same day, Akagi and Kaga agreed with Mu Feng on the coordination method for the development of the Northern Islands, and immediately returned to their families to arrange a series of preparation orders.
Then these five patriarchs went to the patriarch together.
For Yamato, it is very rare for five aircraft carrier patriarchs to come together to visit him.
If it weren't for something very important, they wouldn't have done it.
So Yamato almost didn't hesitate, and immediately let the five aircraft carrier patriarchs in, and at the same time called the two parents of Musashi and Shinano over.
After the two sides met, there was a rather brief and somewhat discordant politeness.
Then Akagi spoke directly and said:
"Yamato, Commander Mu Feng already knows the news of the Great Northern Islands, and he has decided not to go to the USN for the time being, and go directly to the Great Northern Islands.
"Because it is suspected that his final destination is there, and it is likely that he will also go to the Great Northern Islands in the future, so now we are competitors.
"Because we already have a cooperation plan, and the relationship is not bad for the time being, we agreed with him that those desert islands in the north will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
"Therefore, our northern exploration operation should be accelerated as much as possible."
Yamato frowned when he heard this, and Musashi asked directly with a calm face:
"How did he get the news of the Great Northern Islands? Such important news can be said to be confidential to both of us.
"So, how do you aircraft carrier veterans know that Commander Mu Feng has gotten this news and these plans?
"Could it be that the news of the Great Northern Islands was told to him by several aircraft carrier veterans? Don't you know that this is a leak of headquarters secrets! ”
Dafeng next to him immediately waved his hand and said:
"No, it's not what we get, Musashi Patriarch, you may not know that Yamashita Shunsuke's previous ship mother, most of them went to Mu Feng's men.
"Therefore, the detailed information about the Northern Islands was told to them by these ship wives under Mu Feng, and a few of us just met at the right time."
Dafeng's explanation made both Yamato and Musashi's faces sink.
Akagi immediately followed and asked:
"Moreover, what I want to ask now is, Yamato Patriarch, why did you accept Yamashita Shunsuke as a commander, haven't you investigated the background of this person? Don't you know what he did before? ”
Yamato exhaled, waved his hand and said:
"Of course I've investigated, this human being's previous behavior is indeed problematic, but many of them are misunderstandings, and they have something to do with the sudden appearance of Mu Feng.
Now that he has gone through the suffering of separation, he has repented.
"Yamashita swore to me and Musashi at the same time, and he decided to change his mind, start over with Yoko, and contribute all his strength to the headquarters.
"Moreover, he is indeed the only Yamato-class commander, so I chose to give him a chance.
"Then, these are not important, what is important, Patriarch Akagi, you and other commanders agreed on the disposal plan of the Northern Islands without my consent!
"How to deal with the Northern Islands is not up to a few of you aircraft carrier veterans to decide.
"The Northern Islands, obviously the commander of our headquarters, the ship's mother, first discovered, and now letting him know does not mean that we can share these islands with him.
"Your agreed first-come, first-served plan is invalid, and all those islands are ours!"
Akagi did not continue to pursue the matter of Yamashita Shunsuke, but continued to explain:
"However, Mu Feng's fleet will soon go to the Northern Islands, and if we don't agree on a disposal plan in advance, once there is a conflict in the Northern Islands, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Joke ......" Musashi suddenly sneered, "What do you mean by unimaginable?" His headquarters is 25,000 kilometers away, and there are only about two dozen of them now.
"Even if they went to the Northern Isles, what could he do? Do you think he really dares to rely on those 20 or so ship girls to clash with the thousands, or even tens of thousands, of ship girls we sent over? ”
Yamato nodded uncontrollably beside him, obviously very much recognizing Musashi's words, and when Musashi finished speaking, Yamato clasped his hands to his chest and said in a summary manner:
"Akagi, you go back and tell this Mu Feng that the Northern Islands are ours, and if he wants to intervene, then he must listen to our arrangements and act with us.
"After we have basically explored the entire Northern Islands, with the permission of our headquarters, they can build on individual desert islands that we have designated.
"But, just like the terms agreed between you and them, the bases established by their headquarters in the Northern Isles are subject to our overall control.
"If he is not willing to accept such conditions, then let's speak on strength."
Musashi nodded as a matter of course beside her, these conditions she thought were very normal, very natural, and they couldn't be more correct.
Akagi and several aircraft carrier veterans glanced at each other, and a similar thought arose in their hearts:
"It's really the fearless ...... the ignorant"
Akagi thought about it, glanced at several aircraft carrier veterans, and made a decision in a short time:
"Yamato, Musashi, in fact, there is some information that I didn't want to share with you, but this northern exploration operation is related to the future of our headquarters.
"If our exploration fleet clashes with Mufeng's fleet, it will be an absolute disaster for our command.
"In order to avoid this kind of thing, I will now give you a brief reduction of the true strength of the Mufeng Fleet, please believe me."
Yamato and Musashi did care about the specific strength of the Mufeng fleet, but Akagi's words were too exaggerated and incredible in their eyes.
Musashi almost rolled his eyes and sneered:
"I said Patriarch Chicheng, what you said about the combat effectiveness of the Mufeng Fleet, we are indeed very concerned, but what you said just now is definitely not a joke?"
Akagi frowned slightly, knowing that it was difficult to convince these two people of himself, but he still had to say:
"Of course what I said is serious, I don't have to lie to you, you should also know, their two-handed aircraft carrier has a displacement of up to 85,000 tons, more than twice as much as mine, the length of the hull has reached 330 meters, and the flight deck area is more than three times that of mine......"
Yamato didn't care about spreading his hands:
"We do know that, so what? Is it just a little bigger, with a double displacement, can the combat effectiveness also be doubled?
"I doubt it, my hull tonnage is almost twice that of Nagato, but I dare not say that my combat strength is twice that of Nagato.
"What if it could be doubled? There are only two of them, and in our headquarters, there are 25 aircraft carriers of the IJN system that can participate in the war at the same time.
"There are hundreds of aircraft carriers that can take turns to participate in the war, and with the aircraft carriers of other blood commanders under the command, our number of aircraft carriers presents an absolute overwhelming advantage.
"We can't lose, and those who want to lose can't lose, unless all of your aircraft carriers surrender without a fight.
"And I'm really a little worried about this kind of thing happening now, are you guys getting too close to him, because the other party's main force is a bigger aircraft carrier than mine? So you also have common interests, right? ”
