Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Japan's newly formed North American Combat Command is responsible for opening up battlefields in the United States. However, the organization of its subordinate units is a bit complicated, with the Navy's Combined Fleet as the main force. Admiral Yamamoto is not worried about this part, as it is his direct lineage.  The troops and the fleet commander under him are all the confidants who are summoned. They are like an arm in command. When given an order, all the soldiers will fight to the death.  \

    ¡°In addition, they are all elite soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Navy, and their combat effectiveness is beyond doubt. Otherwise, the combined fleet would not have killed the U.S. Navy¡¯s Pacific Fleet twice in a row and blocked the Americans¡¯ east coast doorstep.

    Another part of the force consists of several aviation groups affiliated with the Army Aviation Department, which was previously stationed on the Hawaiian Islands. In addition, plus the three joint aviation groups recently transferred from the mainland. Although they are all Army aviation systems, they  But it is not a subordinate unit. Several aviation units stationed at bases in the Hawaiian Islands were previously under the command of the Army Aviation Department of the base camp.

    The three newly transferred joint air forces are under the command of Prince Zaishi's Home Defense Command. One system and two units are enough to give General Yamamoto a headache. In addition, there are also those at Midway and Wei.  Although several aviation groups of the naval land-based aviation units stationed in places such as Kushiro Island belong to the naval system, they had no direct affiliation with Admiral Yamamoto before.

    The aviation force alone is the result of four companies being pieced together. It inevitably carries traces of their respective systems. It is difficult to expect them to follow orders just like their own fleet. Although combined, the air force in the hands of Admiral Yamamoto is now  There are more than 1,600 combat aircraft.  But in his view, a synergy has not yet been formed.

    This is the air power aspect, among other things.  General Yamamoto is not too worried about the army system troops stationed in the Hawaiian Islands and various islands in the eastern Pacific, the Fifteenth Army and the Sixteenth Army. As far as the current operations on the United States are concerned, the Army simply cannot send any troops.  It is put to practical use, and at most it serves as a bluff.  Put on a posture of landing on the east coast of the United States and coordinate the Imperial Army troops on the Australian battlefield.

    So, what are the thoughts of the army generals?  General Yamamoto didn't care. The two air groups of the Army Air Force system got along well. After all, they were all one family.  But the Combined Fleet Aviation and Naval Land-Based Aviation.  The run-in with several aviation groups of the Army Air Force made General Yamamoto quite thoughtful.

    As an important general in the naval system, Admiral Yamamoto is well aware of the years of feuds and estrangements between the Imperial Army and Navy. What¡¯s more, his plan to bomb several important cities on the east coast of the United States requires the Army Air Force to take the lead.  If this feud is not eliminated before the battle is launched.  It is very likely to affect the smooth progress of the plan, or even cause the plan to fail. This is absolutely unacceptable to him!

    General Yamamoto's worries were not unfounded. During the historical Pacific War, the quarrel between the Japanese army and naval aviation units was even brought to light. Although both had wings, they were also known as the "Imperial Eagle in the Sky."  "But the feud between the army and the navy has been long-standing and deep-rooted, and it has inevitably affected the operational cooperation and intelligence exchange between the two forces.

    The real history is that during the Battle of the Coral Sea in the Southwest Pacific during World War II, the Japanese Army Air Force's ground radar station on the Lau Islands discovered intelligence that a mixed fleet of U.S. aircraft carriers was about to launch an attack on the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet.  He actually concealed it and refused to report it to the Navy's Third Fleet, which led to the tragic fate of almost the entire Third Fleet being annihilated.

    Because the direction of history has changed, the battle between the Japanese and American fleets in the Coral Sea did not happen. Admiral Yamamoto would not know about the never-occurred battle between the army and navy aviation, but he was an excellent tactician and experienced.  The commander is keenly aware of this and has a fatal flaw in his command of operations. Therefore, he must resolve this fatal flaw before launching an air attack on the east coast of the United States.

    There is no need for a few Army Air Corps commanders to blatantly disobey orders. They only need to defy orders and delay the execution of their orders. In the fleeting air raid battle of fighter planes, it is enough to make the well-planned and interlocking air raids worse.  Plan, unknown dangers arose, leading to final failure, and the failure of the air strike on the American mainland was a burden that General Yamamoto could not bear!

    Several Army Air Forces obey the orders of the Army Aviation Department of the base camp and Prince Zain, the deputy commander of the Home Defense Command. These rebellious commanders who have deep prejudices against the navy do not stop because of an order from the base camp.  An officer is obedient to himself, obeying orders without any grudges, like an arm commanding him.

    This is what General Yamamoto is most afraid of, but he cannot drastically replace a large number of Army Air Force commanders as soon as he starts to integrate the troops. He is worried about disrupting the morale of the military. The most important thing is that he is worried about?General Yamamoto is well aware of the resistance and interference within the base camp. The big guys in the base camp are very accustomed to talking to and gesticulating over the frontline combat troops thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers away!

    At that time, when the war started, my order was issued, but there was a secret order from a certain faction leader in the base camp, which interfered with the overall command. It would be strange if the air strike on the United States did not fail. The final result of the failure was of course decided by the commander.  General Kanyamamoto himself took all the responsibility, and those big bosses who were dictating things secretly would not come forward and take responsibility!

    "Well, there are several leaders of the base camp, like Mr. Nagano, who have complete trust in themselves, never interfere with their command of operations, and trust themselves unconditionally!" Admiral Yamamoto thought with emotion. Because of this, Admiral Yamamoto has great confidence in the navy.  The minister, the number one boss of the navy, and the leader of the army, Admiral Nagano Osamuyama, is loyal and loyal. Is he being kind to me?

    How to integrate several aviation groups made General Yamamoto troubled. After thinking hard for several days, he still couldn't find the safest way. Feeling depressed and at a loss, General Yamamoto came to the residence of General Minamino to prepare.  Ask about your new friend and best friend.

    General Minamino's residence is in a secluded place with beautiful scenery in Honolulu. It is surrounded by tall tropical trees and lush green. Deep in the woods, next to a small river, several thatched houses are scattered in an orderly manner along the river. The water is gurgling and the trees are green.  The scorching wind in April in Hawaii blows here, and the heat is gone, making it a quiet place.

    "This Nanye-kun really doesn't look like a soldier, but more like a reclusive scholar. However, I obviously have no such interest. The battlefield filled with artillery fire and the vast sea are my favorite places and my true destination!  "General Yamamoto thought mockingly, stopped the guards from saluting, and stepped onto the gravel path.

    Pushing open the wooden door of the thatched house and walking into the wooden-floored room, it was quite cool. I saw the thin General Minamino, alone, wearing a kimono, lying lazily on a short table with a gramophone playing.  Listening to Japanese folk songs, General Minamino held a cup of tea in his hand. While he was intoxicated, he felt extremely carefree and at ease, like a god who could not eat the fireworks of the world!

    "Minano-kun, you are so elegant!" Seeing him come in, Nanno didn't even raise his eyelids, and he didn't even say hello. General Yamamoto couldn't help but say, with a sour taste in his tone.  .

    General Minamino still did not speak. He silently poured a cup of tea for General Yamamoto and pointed at the gramophone, indicating that he should listen to the record first.

    General Yamamoto, who was full of bad things, hesitant and anxious, could not be in this mood and elegance. He drank the tea in one gulp, patiently, finally finished listening to the record, and was about to speak.

    General Minamino spoke first, "Yamamoto-kun, you seem to be very worried. I wonder where the worry comes from?"

    They are both good friends and buddies, and now they are even more like grasshoppers on the same rope. They share weal and woe. General Yamamoto did not hide anything and poured out his thoughts and worries. During this period, there was no shortage of hateful words.

    When General Yamamoto was narrating, General Minamino never interrupted. After he poured out the bitter water, he smiled calmly, filled General Yamamoto's teacup, and said, "Yamamoto-kun, please have another drink. I brewed this with my own hands."  Tea, tea can purify the mind and calm the mind naturally! Don¡¯t you understand this, Mr. Yamamoto?¡±

    "Fuck you!" General Yamamoto yelled in his heart. He almost raised his hand and overturned the table. Kaotou gave him a slap. He was full of bad things and couldn't solve them. He assembled on the east coast of the United States.  There are a large number of combat aircraft, and the pressure to keep secrets is huge. If the problems we face are not solved as soon as possible, once the Americans find out the clues and make preparations, all plans will be ruined. I have no idea what to do with you, and why are you pretending to be a ghost?  Tea ceremony?

    Seeing that General Yamamoto¡¯s face was red and his neck was thick, and he was obviously suppressing his anger, General Minamino continued: ¡°Yamamoto-kun, you have entered a misunderstanding in your thinking!¡±

    "How do you say this?"

    "Yamamoto-kun, what do you have in your hands now?"

    "What?"

    "Power, supreme power! The power to command all troops under the North American Combat Command!" General Minamino said firmly,

    "I know, but power can't solve all problems! Power can solve problems on the surface, but when it comes to internal feuds, factional battles, and long-standing conflicts between the army and the navy, power is not omnipotent, Nanno-kun.  , You are from the Army system, so you should have heard about this and been deeply affected by it, right?" General Yamamoto did not agree with his words and retorted with bulging eyes.

    Seeing that his best friend was still confused, General Nanye smiled and said lightly:"Yamamoto-kun, you are in the game and are bound by your own thinking! This is not the Yamamoto-kun I know!"
