After Shunsuke Yamashita's plan was finished, the senior management of the entire conference room was whispering to the people around him with their heads down, and everyone had different opinions.

Yamato glanced at Musashi, Musashi understood, and looked at Akagi with a smile on his face:

"Patriarch Akagi, the plan on our side has been finished for the time being, you should be almost rested, you can take out your second plan and talk about it."

The two factions do not clash directly, and even rely on each other in battle.

But both parties just don't like each other, and they will habitually block each other in daily life.

Akagi has now set up his mentality, and the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to get angry, but let Musashi continue to make things difficult for himself, so it is better to simply make the words clear:

"The information provided by Shunsuke Yamashita, he had already reported the situation to Kaga before.

"Our second plan, based on this information, is that we believe that the archipelago is large enough that it is already known to be 4 million square kilometers.

"Of the 4 million square kilometers, although the two arc-shaped islands account for about 2 million, the other desert islands still add up to more than 2 million square kilometers.

"These lands and seas will be enough for us for a long time to come.

"So we don't need to conflict with those local natives for the time being, we can first find a suitable desert island to establish settlements, and gradually build, expand, and accumulate strength.

"At the same time, we will also have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the situation inside those two large islands, and then gradually absorb these scattered human commanders into our headquarters.

"In the end, we will gradually move our headquarters to this archipelago as a whole."

Akagi's opinion has been recognized by many elders and patriarchs, and there is a chorus of echoes below.

And Shunsuke Yamashita in front of him immediately continued when he saw this:

"Patriarch Akagi, in the entire archipelago, the best conditions are those two arc-shaped islands, and I still recommend directly occupying the two large islands.

Moreover, the political landscape in the two large arcs of the island is still in the form of a combination of classical dynasties and fragmented commanders, warlords.

"This is a legacy of the previous era, which is no longer suitable for this era, and we have an obligation to liberate them and lead them into a new era.

"And we, as guides, deserve to rule here, don't we?"

At this time, the scene basically entered the discussion session, and when Shunsuke Yamashita said this, Kaga next to Akagi immediately stood up and said-for-tat:

"Our expeditionary fleet, one-time delivery capacity is limited, and the arrival of a tired fleet in a strange place and direct conflict with the natives is extremely dangerous.

"The warlords of the commanders in this area were originally completely scattered, and we could have slowly infiltrated, divided, co-opted, and absorbed them, and gradually annexed them.

"If our fleet arrives and is directly forced by force, it will form an overall external pressure, which may prompt them to unite with the outside world.

"In that case, even if we succeed, we will have to pay a greater price."

Kaga's words were approved by more patriarchs, and many people in the venue even shouted loudly in agreement, and Musashi and several other battleship executives rolled their eyes and did not speak.

They, as well as Yamato on the podium, of course, also knew that what Kaga said made sense.

But he didn't want to, and wouldn't agree with, Kaga's words, because the other party was the leader of the aircraft carrier faction, and he was the leader of the battleship faction, and he absolutely couldn't approve of his rivals.

Of course, as the general flagship, Yamato will not be stupid enough to oppose for the sake of opposition, and when this happens, Yamato has its own way, and she declares that all the patriarchs will raise their hands together to vote on the proposal of the two.

He can't obey the two aircraft carriers Akagi and Kaga, but he can obey the results of the collective vote.

Akagi and Kaga's words were reasonable, so they naturally won the approval of the majority.

After counting the results, Yamato coughed lightly and read it out loud:

"According to the results of the vote, the overall direction of the Northern Exploration Action has been determined, and we will first select a suitable desert island, build a complete forward base, and then make further planning."

After the results of this vote, Akagi breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued:

"General flagship, now I apply, our cooperation agreement with the five major commands, also a unified vote, after the approval, so that we can start further actions as soon as possible."

"I don't think there's a need for that." The patriarch of Nagato stood up directly and said, "After a little comparison of these two plans, you know that the latter one must have an advantage, and there is no need to do it at the same time."

"The Northern Islands are only 10,000 kilometers away, the key is that there is no strong command threat around, we can develop completely independently, without being restricted by anyone, at least 4 million square kilometers of islands, the future may all belong to us.

"And the five major commands are more than 25,000 kilometers away, and there are five large commands around them to threaten, and after our people pass, they will be subject to their jurisdiction and constraints, and even show submission, and the land that can be obtained is only hundreds of thousands of square kilometers at most."

Akagi sighed and said, "However, if we emigrate to the sea area where the five major headquarters are located, it is almost absolutely safe with the help and protection of the five major commands, as well as the industrial base ...... they provide."

"We don't need outsiders to shelter at IJN!" Musashi directly threw out the killer idea, "If you aircraft carrier faction wants to surrender to others, then it's better to go yourself, don't pull us in!" ”

This sentence directly aroused the great approval of the arrogant senior members of IJN.

Akagi immediately said: "I didn't mean that, what I want to express is that the construction of the settlement, if there is official support from their five major commands, it will ...... very quickly."

"That's it! Say no more! Yamato directly interrupted Akagi's words, "I think what Nagato and Musashi said makes a lot of sense, and the official cooperation with the five major commands does not make sense to us, and it is better to directly participate in the battle than to send the population out."

"If the Akagi Patriarch, or rather, the members of your aircraft carrier department, are willing to continue, they can cooperate in the name of your family, which has nothing to do with our battleship department and has nothing to do with the headquarters.

"This matter is over, so don't discuss it at the conference, let's discuss the specific combat plan.

"First of all, in my capacity as the general flagship, I have appointed the Musashi Patriarch as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Pioneer Fleet, and Rear Admiral Shunsuke Yamashita as the chief of the General Staff as the representative of the human commanders.

"Then, the five patriarchs of the aircraft carrier department, please arrange at least one person to lead the aircraft carrier fleet to cooperate with this operation, and a few of you will discuss it now and recommend someone to come out."

The patriarchs of several people in Akagi were all gloomy, and their efforts were all in vain, but now was not the time to complain, several people looked at each other, and Kaga himself stood up:

"I'll go......"

"Okay." Yamato immediately said, "Then the Kaga clan will be the commander of the aircraft carrier fleet, and the Musashi clan, the Kaga clan chief, and Rear Admiral Yamashita Shunsuke will be jointly responsible for this northern expansion operation."

"Without further ado, please discuss the manpower, resources, and detailed battle plan required to list the entire battle plan as soon as possible, and submit it to me, and after the approval of the Senate, we can start implementing it as quickly as possible!"

"Yes."

The three of them agreed together, and then Shunsuke Yamashita immediately spoke:

"Lord General Flagship, in order to complete the material preparation as soon as possible, I propose to set up a special team to give it the unified right to requisition and transfer civilian and military materials for the headquarters, and arrange for weighty people to press the formation."

Yamato nodded after a little groaning and agreed:

"The suggestion is good, it can be implemented, if you are in charge, Musashi, someone from your family will preside, and then Yamashita-kun, you will let Yoko go over to help, there are two Yamato-level people in charge, no one should dare to be disobedient."

"Yes!"

Musashi and Shunsuke Yamashita and Yoko Yamato agreed almost at the same time.

Shunsuke Yamashita let out a long sigh of relief.
