    "What kind of reason is this?" Amosiyev shouted and said, "I really don't understand the thinking of you Chinese people. By the way, doesn't there be a saying in China, which is called 'Don't avoid relatives when you promote talents!'  It¡¯s ¡®the one who can live here!¡¯ I know what it means! I don¡¯t want to hear your excuses!¡±

    Everyone was stunned. This Russian seems to have a lot of bad taste in Chinese culture. Tang Qiuquan hurriedly stood up to smooth things over, "Deputy Commander, we haven't seen each other in more than a year. Here's to you!"

    After a full glass of wine, the two of them drank it down in one gulp. Le Yiqin, who was sitting aside and watching the excitement, finally couldn't bear it anymore and said in fear of causing chaos in the world: "Don't forget, everyone, Yunfei is from our aviation force.  The troops walking out are my subordinates, Le Yiqin!"

    "If it weren't for this guy, who clamored to go to the carrier-based aircraft force, I would have been reluctant to let him go. Now I regret it. In this case, Commander Amosiev, let's discuss it and I will transfer Tang Yunfei back to the aviation force.  Within a month, I guarantee that he will be able to command a fighter regiment, and the rank of colonel will be within reach!"

    "Dream!" Amosyev shouted with a red face and thick neck, "Commander Le, you are poaching me!"

    Tang Qiuli glared at Le Yiqin fiercely. After a while, Amosiev insisted that this matter was really difficult to handle. He quickly changed the subject and said: "It happened that the two commanders and chiefs of staff of the fleet were here.  I don¡¯t know. What do you think about the fact that the Japanese army is frequently moving troops from North America to Australia?¡±

    Tang Qiuquan and Amoshiev looked at each other.  Tang Qiuquan said: "Before the division commander arrived at the Phnom Penh base, Deputy Commander Amosiev and I conducted detailed research on this matter. We believed that the fleet should take the initiative to attack the Japanese troop carrier formation. There is no doubt that  This is an excellent opportunity to focus on annihilating the enemy at sea.¡±

    "Isoroku Yamamoto's combined fleet is escorting the Japanese troop transport formation!" Tang Qiuli said calmly: "Have you considered this factor?"

    "We have fully considered it!" Tang Qiuquan said: "With the current strength of the Japanese naval combined fleet, we cannot match it head-on. However, it is not that there are no fighters to be found. The fleet reconnaissance aircraft group reported that a plane was found in the waters near Nantori Island.  There is a formation of about twenty small Japanese troop carriers, with only six escorting warships. Judging from their course, they must have deviated from the course and been wandering in that area for two or three days! "

    "This is the opportunity that comes to our door. We might as well form a capable fleet and raid it! Then, quickly leave the battlefield to avoid encountering the main force of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet. Following this idea, we can form several capable small fleets  , in the waters along the Japanese maritime troop transport line, the main strategy is to search for Japanese troop transport formations that are alone or have weak escort forces. "

    Tang Qiuli was silent, considering normal circumstances.  Brother Qiuquan's idea was right, but the words "off course, only six escort warships" made him extremely vigilant and uneasy.

    Yamamoto Isoroku is a famous general in the Japanese Navy, and he is also a veteran in naval warfare. The combined fleet has nearly a thousand warships of various types. The escort force is not a problem at all. He can make a troop carrier formation lack normal escort force.  How many days will it take to deviate from the route?

    There were more than twenty troop transport ships, which could carry almost a brigade and more than 8,000 Japanese soldiers. They deviated from the route and were escorted by only six warships. They stayed around for two or three days. It was very abnormal. Yamamoto would not commit such a low-level act.  Wrong, he could even conclude that this formation of small Japanese troop carriers was a bait. The purpose of the bait thrown by Yamamoto was to lure the fleet to attack.

    Before Tang Qiuli could speak, Amosiev added: "Commander, in addition to the commander's tactics just now, I also have an idea to concentrate all the submarines of the two fleets on the route passed by the Japanese troop transport formation.  If you go into ambush and look for opportunities to attack, you will definitely achieve great results!"

    Amosiev's words immediately reminded Tang Qiuli of the "Wolf Pack" submarines used by Admiral D?nitz, the commander-in-chief of the German Navy, in the Atlantic waters to attack the maritime transportation lines of the British and American Allied forces in the history of World War II.  The war tactics dealt a heavy blow to the British and American Allied forces' maritime transportation lines.

    "It's a pity that this is not the Atlantic Ocean, and the escorting Japanese Navy Combined Fleet is not the British Royal Navy Fleet at that time. Most importantly, how can I have thousands of submarines to implement the "wolf pack" tactics? My family is so poor!

    "The idea is good, but we don't have the capital to implement the 'wolf pack' tactics!" Tang Qiuli said according to his own idea."What wolf pack tactics"?  The naval officers, including Tang Qiuquan and Amosiyev, all looked puzzled and confused.

    "Oh, it's nothing! I just thought of something!" Tang Qiuli couldn't explain it, and no one would believe it. It was something that happened in another parallel world, so he changed the subject and said, "I don't agree with the fleet."  The current approach is to take the initiative, so the main tasks of the fleet are rest and sea and air confrontation drills. I have accumulated so much wealth over the years, but I can¡¯t bear to let it go!¡±

    Tang Qiuquan and Amosyev both had very disappointed looks on their faces. However, they also knew that the teacher's disapproval must be justified, so they stopped insisting and the conversation at the wine table turned to other aspects.  Go up.

    Without the harassment of the independent division fleet at sea, the Japanese troop transport formations were safe. They traveled between the North American continent and the Australian continent at a high density. In more than two weeks, more than 400,000 troops were sent to the Australian battlefield.  First, the total strength of the Japanese army on the Australian battlefield has now reached more than 800,000.

    Lieutenant General Morishita, the commander of the Japanese Army in Australia, was so happy. With the continuous arrival of large numbers of reinforcements, he felt that he had the capital to start implementing his plan for a partial counterattack. He had an army of more than 800,000 people.  The strength of the troops has exceeded that of the China Independent Division in central Australia. The local counterattack is no longer large enough. It should be a full-line counterattack!

    Therefore, under the auspices of Lieutenant General Morishita, a large-scale military meeting was held in Darwin, where the Australian Army Headquarters is located. At the meeting, Lieutenant General Morishita confidently announced his counterattack plan to defeat the Australian Army.  All the reinforcements, with a total strength of more than 800,000 people, launched a full-line counterattack against the independent divisions in central Australia. They were divided into eight lines, each with a strength of 100,000 people.

    Lieutenant General Morishita was full of passion, had good ideas, and was confident enough. The total strength of the Japanese army in Australia was sufficient to counterattack. However, the commanders of the Japanese troops who were reinforcing Australia did not buy his account.  The officers led by Lieutenant General Okazaki Shuzo, commander of the Third Army, clearly told Lieutenant General Morishita, "General Morishita, we have not received an order from the base camp and we must obey your command!"

    "Furthermore, there is no order from the base camp to assign the troops of the former Imperial North American Combat Command to reinforce the Australian battlefield to the operational order of the Australian Army. Therefore, all your orders can only be effective for the Australian Army. I'm very sorry. Without  We have no obligation to obey your orders until we receive them from the base camp!¡±

    The corps commanders and division commanders of these reinforcements had fought bloody battles with the Americans on the North American battlefield. How could they think highly of Morishita? They couldn't help but despise Morishita in their hearts.  , a commander of a second-rate unit who has never fought in many major battles, now calls himself the boss, gives us instructions, assigns tasks, and does not look after himself. What kind of virtue is this? "

    "Counterattack across the board, look at the battle plan you made, bah! What the heck, even one of my commanders is better than you. Counterattack, is there a fleet to provide air fire support? Is there enough ground artillery fire?  Do you have the necessary tank troops? You don¡¯t have anything. Why are you fighting back? Have you forgotten that you were beaten to pieces by the China Independent Division troops and asked for help? "

    Lieutenant General Okazaki Shuzo and the others were really rude. After bombarding them with a crackling volley of artillery, they excused themselves one after another on the grounds that the troops had just landed ashore and urgently needed to rectify and settle the campsite, and walked away, dumbfounded and angry.  Lieutenant General Morishita, whose hands and feet were cold, was left alone in the conference room.

    Of course, there are more than a dozen division commanders stationed in Australia who cannot find excuses to leave. Lieutenant General Morishita is his immediate boss, but what can they say? They can't help at all and they don't report to each other.  , they are still the real elites of the Imperial Army, and there is a distinction between severity and severity. They can only look at their livid-faced Commander with sympathy.

    Lieutenant General Morishita waved his hand feebly, letting his subordinates disperse and go back to their troops. He deeply realized what "the name is not justified!" If there is an order from the base camp, those warriors who came from the North American battlefield will  Generals, do you dare to be so disrespectful to yourself?

    Absolutely not, otherwise, it would be disobeying the military order. It is normal to dismiss a few people on the spot, but it cannot be done now. Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Morishita calmed down and immediately drafted a telegram to the base camp, "Headquarters, so far  , there are already more than 400,000 Imperial Army troops arriving on the Australian battlefield. The number of troops is quite complicated, and there is no unified order. They all go their own way, which seems quite chaotic!"

    "The result of inconsistent military orders will inevitably affect the next Australian battle. As more imperial troops arrive in Australia, this situation will become more serious."??At this point, the Ministry of Staff strongly recommends that the candidate for the position of commander of the Empire's Australian battlefield forces must be determined as soon as possible in order to unify military orders and command all the Empire's troops on the Australian battlefield!  "

    After the telegram was sent, Lieutenant General Morishita was full of expectations and restlessly waiting for the call back from the base camp. In his opinion, the position of commander of the Imperial Australian Field Force belongs to him!
