For the people of Europe, who had suffered greatly from the First World War, war was a terrible catastrophe that could not be avoided. But in the eyes of the Japanese people in the Far East, war was a "feast" that could bring them prosperity!

Therefore, at a time when the war in Europe was in full swing, not only the emperor and the military top brass at the base camp were eager to join the war, but even the ordinary people of Japan were eager to start the war.

Under the influence of this fanatical atmosphere, the top brass of the Navy, who were originally opposed to joining the war prematurely, had no choice but to be forced by external pressure to begin to formulate some dangerous plans.

In fact! The small number of "anti-war factions" led by Isoroku Yamamoto and Mitsumasa Yonechi did not oppose joining the war, but disagreed with the emperor over the choice of the object of the war.

Young Hirohito was anxious to prove that he was better than his father and grandfather, so defeating the Tang Dynasty once in name alone was far from satisfying his ambitions! The army faction saw through Hirohito's thoughts, so they did what they liked and took advantage of the situation to encourage the Japanese people to fight for power with the navy.

After all, even if the navy completely defeats the army in terms of combat effectiveness, if the entire country chooses to side with the other side, the navy that has lost its foundation will have to bow down to them.

To put it bluntly, Yamamoto actually agrees with Lieutenant General Ishihara's "theory of the geography of war" that Japan should first control the habitable satellites of Jupiter's circle and then make good use of these nearby resources for development. Perhaps in another twenty or thirty years, Japan will be able to become a real first-class power, and it will not be too late to have a great war with the Tang Dynasty or the US imperialism at that time.

However, the quick-tempered emperor was obviously unwilling to wait that long, and the base camp felt that the opportunity could not be missed, and if it could not take advantage of the strong winds of the rise of Germany, Japan would miss this God-given opportunity in vain. In this atmosphere of impatience, any mention of "taking your time" will be regarded as a sign of cowardice.

Leaving the Mitsubishi Shipyard, Yamamoto Fifty-six pondered for a long time on the way back to the Navy Ministry.

As one of the "Big Three" of the Navy. They are among the few who know what Japan is preparing to do. He himself had strongly opposed the gamble-like decision, but in the end he had no choice but to obey the military principle and carry out the order.

But what made Yamamoto find it ridiculous was that when he was about to use another big gamble to increase the odds of winning this gamble, he was met with strong opposition from most of the "gamblers" at the top. In the end, he reluctantly got the support of General Nagano Shushen, the chief of the Military Command Department, and finally approved the crazy battle plan.

Anyway, everyone wants to gamble, is there any difference in what kind of play to use?

During his visit to the shipyard, Yamamoto mainly wanted to learn about the progress of the construction of the Navy's new capital ships. It's a pity that judging from the current situation, the two Yamato-class ships are afraid that it will be too late. Of the nine capital ships in active service of the Japanese army, only three of them have completed the modernization and modification of the Kongo-class to meet the requirements of special operations. But it was difficult for them alone to reassure Yamamoto Isoroku.

"Time...... What a waiter! ”

Worried about the future, Yamamoto took out an old postcard from his bosom, which he had bought at Pearl Harbor when he was studying in the United States. At that time, he probably wouldn't have believed that he would have such crazy plans in a few decades......

While the Japanese Navy was still secretly planning their special operation, on the other side of the orbit of Mars, an inconspicuous-looking Tang cargo ship had just sailed into Pearl Harbor.

Pearl Harbor has always been an international neutral zone in the past, allowing ships of any country to dock freely. However, as the world situation became increasingly severe, the US Pacific Fleet stationed here had no choice but to overstep its authority and set up a blockade. They carried out a strict inspection of the cargo ships of Germany, Japan and Italy. No military vessels were allowed to approach, and Sheville, the de facto owner of Pearl Harbor, did not object to this.

After the Tang freighter named "Pleasure" entered Pearl Harbor, a group of guys who did not look like sailors quickly came down from the ship. The young man at the head wore a trench coat and top hat, and a pair of black sunglasses on his face that made it impossible to see his eyes.

After the other party saw the Charvier projection on the platform. Smiled and said hello.

"Long time no see, Miss Shavier."

As the controller of the "stateless force" of the Ghost Hunters, Zhao Jian's status in the international arena is no less than that of the top wanted criminals. So under normal circumstances, he stays on the Star Castle and doesn't come out, and he either comes out with the big fleet. Or you'll have to do some cross-dressing.

Just like now, he not only wore a suit comparable to Xu Wenqiang, but also wore a golden hair cover. Pretending to be a Eurasian mulatto. However, his disguise was not enough to hide Xia Weier's perception, so he was discovered by the other party as soon as he entered the port.

Under normal circumstances, Zhao Jian is reluctant to come to Pearl Harbor, not only because it belongs to the United States, but also because there is an "Aunt Xia Wei" who always wants to squeeze his juice. The other party would send a "harassing text message" to Xingbao every once in a while to invite Zhao Jian to come over as a guest, and his sinister intentions were clearly revealed!

But this time they came here mainly for a reason, Zhao Jian and they got in touch with the "Free France" a week ago. The other side was very excited to learn that it was the battleship Richelieu, which had been missing for many days, so the two sides agreed to send their respective representatives to meet at Pearl Harbor, a neutral area.

It is worth mentioning that when Zhao Jian contacted the Free France, he deliberately bypassed the British.

He brought his only submarine to Mercury with a specially made "guided torpedo" and threw it accurately into the backyard of the Free French office in London. At that time, de Gaulle was walking in the backyard, and the torpedo with a black parachute fell silently less than five meters away from him.

When de Gaulle found that there was such a big black and hard guy beside him, it took him half a minute to react, and then he reflexively fell to the ground. But the torpedo did not explode, but the entire rear butt bloomed like a flower, revealing a beautiful gift box with a pink ribbon.

Because of this dreamlike unreality, de Gaulle got up and walked to the gift box to open it, and found that it was a smooth board that he had never seen before.

At this moment, the originally black surface of the board suddenly lit up with a soft white light, and then an Asian face appeared. The other party was slightly stunned after seeing de Gaulle's incredulous expression, and then smiled and beckoned to the side, and soon a white uncle wearing a French naval uniform also appeared on the screen.

As soon as de Gaulle saw the somewhat familiar face of the other party, he quickly found the corresponding identity and name in his memory - Colonel Mazen, the captain of the battleship Richelieu! (To be continued......)

PS: I recommend a novel "Utopian Ship Girl", which is also a ship girl, which tells a funny story about a Zenith Admiral who always thinks he is of indigenous Chinese descent. By the way, the author of this book is a tease like his protagonist, who obviously has a good score in his new book, but he always thinks that he can hit the street at any time, in short, to help promote this product.
