    Although they were both members of the Imperial Japanese Army, Admiral Nagumo Tadayichi, Commander of the Combined Navy Fleet, was a thorn in the heart of Admiral Ito Genzaburo, Commander of the Japanese Australian Front, and it was a thorn in his eyes and pierced into his flesh.  The kind that cannot be pulled out or removed.  ¡é¡ê

    Every time he thinks of Chuichi Nagumo, General Ito feels extremely uncomfortable. To be fair, if compared with the former commander of the Combined Fleet, Yamamoto Isoroku, even though they are both from the navy, he would rather deal with Yamamoto than Nagumo.  Chuichi.

    If the current commander of the Combined Fleet is Isoroku Yamamoto, he will definitely not be like Chuichi Nagumo, who ignores the overall situation, holds on to his own selfish and factional views, sits back and watches the Imperial Army soldiers, and allows the bombing of the China Independent Division aviation.  With corpses everywhere, General Ito now not only dislikes Chuichi Nagumo, he even hates him.

    "Bang, bang, bang!" The office door was knocked gently, the sound was not loud, but it was very urgent.

    "Huh?" General Ito's eyebrows rose. He had given stern instructions to leave all military affairs to the Chief of Staff, Major General Akutagawa. He could not be disturbed by anything. Why was there still someone knocking on the door?

    After probably knocking a few times, there was no response from the house. The person who knocked on the door softly shouted: "Commander-in-Chief, this is Akutagawa, and I have an urgent telegram from the base camp!"

    "Huh!" General Ito breathed out, and it was Akutagawa who knocked on the door, but it was someone else.  I definitely don't have a good color, and I'm in a state of distress.  bother!  There are always big mouths, "Come in!" he shouted displeasedly.

    Chief of Staff Akutagawa pushed open the door and entered.  He glanced at General Ito first and saw his superior's expression of disapproval. Knowing that the commander was in a very anxious state right now, he had delegated all the military affairs of the front army to himself. He was most afraid of being disturbed by others, but the telegram in his hand was very special.  Normally, it was sent jointly by the General Staff of the base camp and the Naval Command Department, so it would be inappropriate not to disturb it.

    "Commander-in-Chief, I just received an urgent telegram from the General Staff Headquarters and the Naval Command Department. Please review it!" Chief of Staff Akutagawa quickly cut the story short and handed over the telegram.

    Admiral Ito took the telegram with a dull expression, glanced at it a few times, and then said with a sneer: "Humph! The Navy is finally willing to let Chuichi Nagumo's combined fleet join the Australian battlefield. It's not too late."  ?"

    "The Combined Fleet is attached to the Imperial Australian Front. It has independent command authority. Did the General Staff make a mistake? With Nagumo Chuichi's virtue, can I command it? Negotiate. With Nagumo Chuichi, a guy who is full of rigid dogma.  Negotiation, playing the piano to a cow, is simply an unclear and nondescript telegram!¡±

    After reading the telegram.  The anger in General Ito's heart suddenly burst out.  Complaining loudly, the Combined Fleet was assigned to the Australian Front for combat.  He has no command authority over the combined fleet, so how can he talk about negotiation? What's more, when two people meet, they just jump around and negotiate, which is ridiculous!

    General Ito was angry. His face turned purple with anger and he was breathing heavily. The telegram from the base camp was simply an insult to him. Between him and Nagumo Chua, there was no way to tie a donkey to the same trough.  , he pinched him when he met him, and even asked him to negotiate with him to decide on the relevant matters on the Australian battlefield. Damn it!

    "Commander-in-Chief, there is no need for you to be angry. According to the Staff Department, this telegram came very timely. At least it has one advantage. The Front Army Headquarters can mobilize the carrier-based aircraft of the combined fleet!" Chief of Staff Akutagawa handed General Ito's  I watched his reaction with my eyes, fearing that he would lose his calm under anger, and hurriedly spoke.

    "Huh?" General Ito rolled his eyes a few times, looked at his chief of staff, seemed to have a look on his face, and said, "It's possible in name, but with Chuichi Nangumo's virtue, can I use his carrier-based aircraft?"

    Chief of Staff Akutagawa continued: "Commander-in-Chief, you do not need to mobilize the carrier-based aircraft of the Combined Fleet to join the land battlefield. You only need to hand over the defense of the airspace of the Timor Sea and Arafura Sea to the Combined Fleet.  In this way, the combat aircraft of the Front Army Aviation Headquarters can be withdrawn, which is equivalent to strengthening the air power of the Imperial Army on the land battlefield. I think General Nagumo has no reason to refuse! "

    "It makes sense!" General Ito's face suddenly relaxed and he praised: "Akutagawa-kun, you have considered the problem carefully. Alas, since I returned from the battlefield in the McDonnell Mountains, I have been so distracted that I have no intention of fighting.  Thank you for your support regarding the Front Army Headquarters, Akutagawa-kun, thank you for your hard work!"

    General Ito was so generous that he bowed deeply to Chief of Staff Akutagawa to express his gratitude to this loyal subordinate.Chief of Staff Akutagawa was moved and hurriedly returned the courtesy, and continued: "Commander-in-Chief, the staff has been considering these days. As far as the current situation of the Australian battlefield is concerned, there are no major changes in the east and west battlefields for the time being.  , only the middle battlefield has become increasingly dangerous since the imperial army withdrew north from the MacDonnell Mountains. The China Independent Division troops are attacking fiercely, and they are not ready to attack northern Australia! "

    "Alas! This is why I am anxious all night long!" General Ito sighed and said: "But after thinking hard for several days, there is no solution. The counterattack in the middle failed to achieve its goal, which brought great consequences to the entire Australian decisive battle.  Adverse effects! Akutagawa-kun, do you have any good suggestions?¡±

    For many days, General Ito did nothing, and Major General Akutagawa had actually done the job of the commander of the Australian Front, struggling to support the situation on the middle battlefield. He also had his own ideas about how bad the situation was in nature, especially  He was very dissatisfied with General Ito's previous practice of putting all the troops arriving from the North American battlefield into the central battlefield. What is this called? It is called a gradual increase in troops. It is a taboo for military strategists. The ancestors of the Chinese people said  Pass.

    Chief of Staff Akutagawa also wanted to put forward his own suggestions to his boss, but it happened that General Ito was in an extremely bad mood and was on the verge of collapse and rage. It was unwise to speak up at this time. Now that his boss asked, the opportunity came.

    Chief of Staff Akutagawa sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "Commander-in-Chief, according to the Ministry of Justice, after the carrier-based aircraft of the Combined Fleet undertake the air defense mission in northern Australia, you can order the aviation commander, Lieutenant General Okazaki, to  , put all combat aircraft into the central battlefield in order to gain maximum air supremacy and stabilize the battle line in the existing area! "

    "Then, the troops that will arrive in Australia from the North American battlefield will be gathered at the Port of Mount Molloy on the east coast of Australia. They will no longer be used for battlefield defense one after another. The second batch of Italian equipment armed forces supplemented by the base camp will be used.  A force of more than 300,000 people can be used as a heavyweight counterattack force, and it is even more of a surprise force!"

    "At the appropriate time, launch a full-line counterattack against the China Independent Division troops in the middle to change the current passive defense situation. Mount Molloy's position is directly inserted into the central battlefield, and the rear of the China Independent Division troops, who are exhausted from long battles,  Of course, this is just the personal opinion of the staff and is for the Commander-in-Chief¡¯s reference!¡±

    After saying that, Chief of Staff Akutagawa looked at General Ito respectfully. While he was talking, General Ito's confused thinking, which had been blocked for many days, gradually opened up and straightened out. Chief of Staff Akutagawa unfolded a plan for himself.  A new picture of the battlefield in central Australia gave me hope of turning defeat into victory. More than 300,000 imperial troops equipped with Italian heavy weapons suddenly came out from behind the China Independent Division troops, huh!  .  .  .  .  .  .  Hahaha!

    "Akutagawa-kun, you really did not disappoint me!" General Ito made no secret of his praise for his subordinates and said: "Okay, let's follow your suggestion just now. In addition, in the name of the Imperial Australian Front Army Headquarters, give the South  As soon as Yunzhong sent the telegram, from now on, all defense tasks in the Timor Sea and Arafura Sea airspace in northern Australia will be handed over to the combined fleet! "

    "At the same time, issue an order to Okazaki to call back all combat aircraft and intensify the fight for air supremacy in the middle battlefield. Add these words to the telegram. If the China Independent Division land-based aircraft group in the direction of the Southwest Pacific theater appears again,  In the northern part of the Australian continent, the Imperial Army was bombed. Admiral Nagumo Chuichi, commander of the combined fleet, went to explain to the base camp himself! "

    For many days, General Ito's anxious, painful and helpless heart suddenly became as relaxed as throwing away a huge boulder because of a telegram from the base camp and the words of Chief of Staff Major General Akutagawa. His whole person seemed to have changed.  He was so energetic that even the wrinkles on his face relaxed.

    "Akutagawa-kun, I haven't been able to eat well these days. Come and have lunch with me!" General Ito looked at his subordinates with admiration and said. He used this way to express his appreciation and respect for Chief of Staff Akutagawa. He was not just a cat or a dog.  You can have lunch with yourself.

    "The Commander-in-Chief has an order, how dare the staff disobey it!" Chief of Staff Akutagawa was also very happy in his heart. The boss had untied his knot, and his intentions were carried out unimpeded. In the eyes of the Commander-in-Chief,  , the status is more important, how can he not be happy?

    Darwin Port in northern Australia is one of the anchorages of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet. On the fleet flagship "Nagato", the commander, Admiral Nagumo Chuichi, is convening a military meeting attended by the commanders and chiefs of staff of each fleet. The content of the meeting is,  It also revolves around a telegram from the General Staff Headquarters and the Naval Command Department. The content of the telegram is exactly the same as what Admiral Ito saw.

    General Nagumo Tadashi was even more unhappy than General Ito. How could the Combined Fleet be assigned to the Australian Front???Didn't I mean that I became the direct subordinate of that bastard Ito? What is this?

    Isn't it puzzling? Did the Navy Command lose its head? Such a ridiculous order came. I feel unhappy just because I am not happy. The order of the General Staff of the base camp can be ignored or even disobeyed, but the order of the Navy Command is my own.  I cannot and dare not not implement it!
