Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    General Ito's tone was full of contempt, almost making General Yamamoto faint with anger, "This bastard, on the one hand, he clings to the idea of ????the army as the main force, and on the other hand, he emphasizes that the control of air and sea is a matter of the navy, but there are  Isn¡¯t it a typical paradox to regard the navy and aviation forces as subordinate to the army?¡±

    "Ito-kun, since you think that the issues of air and sea control must be solved before landing on the west coast of the United States, then it proves that the tactics I am using now are correct and effective!" General Yamamoto's eyes were already burning.  Damn, "Ito-kun won't deny this, right?"

    General Ito was not to be outdone. He glared and said, "It is not a question of denial or recognition, but a matter of fighting against the United States. All military operations must be based on the army. Otherwise, it will be difficult to win!"

    "Remind Yamamoto-kun not to forget that the Australian war that just ended was won by the army. The attached air force did not even have a supporting role. To occupy the entire Australian continent, we still relied on the soldiers of the Imperial Army.  Both feet! I don¡¯t see any outstanding performance from the navy and aviation forces, which spend more than two-thirds of the empire¡¯s military expenditure!¡±

    General Yamamoto was about to explode with anger. Faced with such a stubborn guy who clung to his old experience, there was no need to continue the conversation. The more we talked, the more things got worse. We would not expose this stubborn bastard's background.  Son, he will not give in!

    "Bang!" General Yamamoto burst out in anger and slammed the table. The plates and bowls on the table jumped up.  His voice also became louder, "Ito-kun, don't cling to your theory of the army's victory. Ito-kun will probably not forget that a few years ago, on the southern battlefield of China mainland, the Imperial China Southern Dispatch commanded by Ito-kun  How was our army so badly beaten by the Chinese demon Tang Qiuli's troops that they were almost wiped out?"

    "As for the Navy, since the beginning of the Pacific War, it has never tasted defeat. It has completely wiped out the repeatedly rebuilt Pacific Fleet of the U.S. Navy. Even the Australian War, which Ito-kun is proud of, was also a complete blockade of the United States mainland to Australia by the Navy.  The victory was achieved under the premise of maintaining the mainland transportation line. Ito wouldn¡¯t think that the Australian war could be won just by relying on the army, right?¡±

    General Ito was not to be outdone.  Although you are the commander and I am the deputy, the military rank is about the same, and we are two factions. The backstage is evenly matched. Don't try to scare me with your attitude. If you don't know what to say, just slap the table and stare. If you get used to your bad habits, treat me like you are in the navy.  A subordinate?

    What¡¯s even more intolerable is.  He actually exposed his old background and didn't know which battle was going on in the southern part of China mainland.  Is it because of his eternal pain? General Ito was more straightforward. He raised his hand and said, "Wow!" The table in front of him was overturned, and various dishes were scattered on the floor. Then, he looked provocatively at General Yamamoto, whose face was livid with anger.  Gritting his teeth, he growled: "Commander Yamamoto, you have gone too far. You should take back what you just said!"

    As far as the positions of General Yamamoto and General Ito are concerned, when it comes to issues of principle, there is no possibility of negotiation and mutual compromise. One is an extreme fan of the Army's winning theory, and it is a truth that has been tested by victory. If you want to change  , more difficult than reaching the sky!

    One is that the navy determines the outcome of a war. It is a loyal supporter and practitioner of the key factor theory. It has also been tested in actual combat. Coincidentally, the defeated opponents were all Americans and the Allied Forces, which were dominated by Americans.  force.

    The differences between General Yamamoto and General Ito on tactical issues and campaign thinking in the war against the United States are absolutely irreconcilable. This is no longer a battle of personal sentiments. Even if they take the lawsuit to His Majesty the Emperor, it will not help.  , it is related to the battle between the Japanese Army and Navy that has lasted for many years, which one is greater and which one is more dominant, between land power and sea power. Even the imperial power cannot forcibly suppress one side!

    The two generals present here, the commander-in-chief and deputy commander of Japan's North American Combat Command, one slapped the table, the other lifted the table, and then looked at each other fiercely like a fighting cock. Because of General Ito, Major General Kawaguchi, who was able to participate in this reception banquet, had arrived early.  I was so shocked that I was stunned, my mind went blank, and I couldn't even think of interrupting!

    General Minamino sighed deeply and remained silent. Even he could not reconcile this situation. In his heart, he was still on the side of General Yamamoto. He was also quite disgusted with General Ito's stubbornness and obsolescence. He was also very disgusted with the United States.  If the war is fought according to Ito's ideas, the future of the empire will definitely not be good, but he also knows that he cannot persuade Ito to give up the theory he insists on. The war is imminent, and the generals have such huge differences, but how can it be done?

    As one of the few strategists in the Japanese Empire, General Minamino was deeply worried about this. In this case, it was not a question of sides or choices, but a question of whether the empire could win the war against the United States.  actual departure.

    General Nanye took a sip of wine and sighed: "ShanJun, Ito-kun, any one of you is a leader in the imperial world, a contributor to the empire in the Pacific War, and you all have reasons to stick to your own theories!  "

    "But what Nanno wants to say now is that any theory must be considered in the actual situation. As far as the war against the United States is about to be launched by the empire, my personal attitude is that Yamamoto-kun's tactics and campaign plans,  It¡¯s the most appropriate and effective!¡±

    "And Ito-kun's theory of the Army's victory may become dominant later in the deep battles in the United States, but at least for now, it is out of date. Therefore, I stand firmly on Yamamoto-kun's side!"

    "You" General Ito was so furious that he almost blurted out the word "traitor" and cursed with gritted teeth in his heart, "You old bastard, are you still not from the Army? How did you get to Pearl Harbor?  , have a fierce fight with the navy? How about wearing a pair of pants with Yamamoto? "

    "Commander Yamamoto and Chief of Staff Minamino have different paths and do not agree with each other!" General Ito said with a livid face, "As the deputy commander of the Imperial North American Operations Command, I will truthfully state the truth to His Majesty the Emperor and to the base camp.  Even if His Majesty the Emperor disagrees with my views and opinions, I will not change my original intention! Farewell! Thank you for letting me know! Kawaguchi-kun, let¡¯s go!¡±

    General Ito and Major General Kawaguchi walked away angrily. Before leaving, they put down their hard words. General Yamamoto and General Minamino were left, looking at the mess on the ground, relatively speechless, with expressions as ugly as death.  Similar.

    After a long time, General Minamino said quietly: "Yamamoto-kun, what worries me most is that army generals like General Ito are stubborn and fail to see that because of the different battlefields, the tactics to be adopted should also be different. Such changes, and  In actual battles, it is definitely not the empire¡¯s luck to disobey orders!¡±

    "This is no longer a fight of will, it will spoil the big thing! The most taboo thing in a battle is for generals to have two minds and restrain each other. It is impossible for Ito Yanzaburo to give up his ideas and follow your ideas completely.  Yamamoto-kun, it¡¯s time to make up your mind!¡±

    General Yamamoto suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with gleaming light, and he said uncertainly: "Minano-kun, what do you mean"

    "Yes, in order to ensure that the empire achieves the final victory in the war against the United States, you must consolidate all command powers into one person. You should not appear to challenge your authority or those who have the qualifications and ability to decentralize power.  Existing in the Empire's North American Combat Command, that would be bad!" General Nanye's eyes were filled with a dark light.

    Two days later, first General Ito's memorial flew to Emperor Hirohito, and then General Yamamoto's memorial also flew to Tokyo. Unlike General Ito's memorial, General Yamamoto did not make a statement in the memorial.  own campaign ideas and specific tactical issues.

    Instead, he put it forward with a very clear attitude, "His Majesty the Emperor, at a time when the Empire is about to launch a large-scale attack on the United States, I have thought over and over again that it is particularly important to centralize the battle command. Otherwise, it will be difficult to fulfill His Majesty's high expectations without mutual constraints!"

    "Therefore, your Majesty, please beg your Majesty to issue an edict to abolish the position of Deputy Commander of the Empire's North American Operations Command. It should not be created again in the future. The struggle for dominance of the Empire's army and navy has been going on for a long time, and I do not want to devote my energy to it."  , spend money on this, otherwise, I would rather resign from my current position as commander of the Empire¡¯s North American Combat Command and give up my job!¡±

    General Yamamoto's meaning is very clear. If Ito Genzaburo is not transferred, I will not work. I will hire another Gao Ming. In the North American Combat Command, there is me without him, and he without me. Anyway, we cannot be tied to the same trough.  Grass.

    After reading the two memorials, Emperor Hirohito's head was swollen and he had a headache. Why couldn't the people in the army and navy, who had been enemies for several lifetimes, put aside their past grudges and cooperate sincerely for the great cause of the empire?

    Both came from the Army. You see, Minamino Osamu and Yamamoto Isoroku work very happily together. Minamino is probably an anomaly. Yamamoto and Ito are both capable and heavyweight front-line commanders, and both have great military exploits.  Being alive really made it difficult for Emperor Hirohito to choose and make decisions.

    Of course Hirohito hopes that Yamamoto and Ito will cooperate sincerely and jointly build a world for the empire, but he knows that this is absolutely impossible. They have brought the lawsuit to him. The two refuse to admit defeat and give in to each other.  The generals are strong enough, but if they are forced to be together, bad things will happen!

    Three days later, an order signed by Emperor Hirohito arrived at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. "In view of the fact that the war against the United States has reached a critical juncture, in order to centralize military command and better coordinate the combat pace of the army and navy, the base camp has decided to cancel the order."  The position of Deputy Commander, Imperial North American Combat Command, formerlyThe commander-in-chief, General Ito Genzaburo, was immediately recalled to the country and has another appointment!  "
