    Judging from Sato Tetsutaro's name for the Chinese, unlike Kato Kanji who extremely looked down on China, Sato Tetsutarou, as a Japanese naval think tank, attached great importance to this oldest country on land.

    The officers looked at him, and the thin old man slowly said: "The Intelligence Section of the Navy Ministry learned from China that the Chinese have fallen behind our country in the development of the navy, so they have chosen another development path, that is, the development of aviation combat.  mode. The Chinese aircraft are even divided into six types, namely bombers, fighters, transport aircraft, fighter-bombers, reconnaissance aircraft, and training aircraft. Chinese President Wang Maoru started his career as the captain of the Aviation Garrison Brigade, and he supports  It was only after he built China's earliest reconnaissance aircraft, fighters and bombers that he attracted Yuan Shikai's attention and was entrusted with important tasks. Moreover, Wang Maoru has been committed to developing the range and combat effectiveness of aircraft since the fourth year of the Republic of China. The naval staff believed that Wang Maoru was trying to replace it with aircraft.  Ships, realizing alternative national defense.¡±

    "Is the information from the Army Intelligence Department accurate?" Someone complained, "Those bumpkins never do anything reliable."

    Sato Tetsutaro immediately said angrily: "Shut up, they sacrificed at least a dozen of the empire's outstanding espionage personnel for this information. This is enough to illustrate the shift and focus of the Chinese strategy. Do you have any countermeasures?"

    Everyone was silent for a while, and then his student Kanji Kato said: "Teacher, do you think it is possible for airplanes to replace ships? I know that our seaplanes are also relatively successful, at least in offshore waters everyone knows the power of airplanes, but  In terms of oceans, seaplanes cannot take off and sail on oceans that are at least 1.5 meters high."

    Sato Tetsutaro nodded and said: "I think aircraft cannot be the protagonist of the war for the time being, but this gives us a very big warning. And when we block the China Sea and occupy China's coastal areas, if our army rashly enters mainland China, it will  Suffered unprecedented losses. Because the navy cannot go ashore, the army without the protection of the navy will only suffer defeat."

    "Hey, what you said makes so much sense." Kato Kanji said, and others nodded in agreement. Indeed, there is no longer the protection of the navy.  The Japanese Army is just a bunch of idiots - this shows how deeply the Japanese Army and Navy despise each other.

    "Look!" Suddenly, Okada Keisuke pointed at a "dark cloud" in the sky in the distance and exclaimed. The other generals also looked over with binoculars, and they were all surprised. It was getting closer and closer, and it was not a dark cloud.  That's the Chinese airship force.

    Three hundred and eighteen airships were between 500 meters and 1,200 meters away from the sponge, and the entire sky seemed to be covered.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    The huge roar came from far away. Gradually, not only the Japanese naval officers on the control tower saw it, but also the Japanese naval soldiers who looked down on the Chinese opened their mouths wide and saw the airship flying slowly across the sky and covering the sky.  Come.

    The volume of an airship is almost equal to that of a cruiser, and its huge black airbag majestically demonstrates its power.  Airships are just such a showpiece.  It looks scary, but actually has no fighting ability.  But despite having little combat capability, more than 300 airships almost filled the entire sky, which really shocked the Japanese.

    "One! Two! Threeone hundred and twentyOh my god, I can't count them." A Japanese sailor shouted.

    "Small island. Are these really Chinese?"

    ¡°Can¡¯t he be British?¡±

    Several sailors immediately looked at the gunner, waiting for the gunner to speak.  The gunner also looked embarrassed and said: "Probably, maybe, almost it should be so."

    Kanji Kato opened his mouth wide and asked: "We can fireor can we hit -?" These words came from a person with such an arrogant character, and it was enough to see the confusion of the Japanese at this time.  This is a breakthrough at the strategic level. If you have not seen it with your own eyes, you will never be shocked. Japan has built three airships, and the navy has also been equipped with observation balloons early. However, the Japanese airship exploded during the manufacturing process, resulting in  The Japanese navy complained.  Because the observation balloon can be placed in the storage room when not in use, the airship cannot be put in. The navy needs to travel far, and the speed of the airship is slower than that of the warship, so the development of airships in Japan has been completely abandoned.

    But seeing the huge Chinese airship formation still shocked the Japanese. Everyone opened their mouths and couldn't speak. They didn't even need to release the observation balloons. When they saw the huge formation, they knew that the Chinese  The warship is not far away.

    "Kato." Sato Tetsutarou said, "We had received the news before they set off that the Chinese would send airships to Japan, but what we didn't expect was that more than 300 airships gathering together would be like this - terrifying  ." After he finished speaking, he suddenly laughed, as ifJie Jie seemed to be comforting others and said, "But what combat effectiveness do these airships have? They are just transport airships."

    Indeed, all Japanese people need to be relieved, because the scene of more than 300 airships rushing towards them is too terrifying. For many Japanese sailors, this is the most terrifying scene they have ever seen in their lives.  As for whether the airship will hurt them, many sailors don't know the answer, but are simply afraid and fearful.

    Suddenly, a sailor accidentally fired a shot. His shot immediately triggered panic among all the soldiers in the First Fleet. Out of fear, they collectively attacked the airship that was originally more than ten kilometers away. At this distance, let alone the machine gun, it could not hit  , even the main gun can't reach it.

    ¡°Bang bang bang¡­¡±

    ¡°Tu tu tu tu¡­¡±

    First Fleet Commander Suzuki Kantaro on the command tower of the Nagato battleship was suddenly taken aback and asked angrily: "Who shot?"

    ¡°I¡¯m reporting to you, Commander, that some soldiers shot out of fear, which triggered more soldiers to shoot. I think everyone is just relieving their fear.¡± Captain Sakon Sikyong, the captain of the Domon, said after a little understanding.

    "Asshole!" Suzuki Kantaro complained, "Tell them to stop shooting. Japan's bullets are not used to feed the sea."

    "Yes." Sakon Sikyong's third assistant said.

    Soon, the soldiers of the Japanese First Fleet stopped shooting in the air. Through this period of venting, many sailors felt less afraid in their hearts.

    Commander Suzuki Kantaro knew what the soldiers were thinking at this time, so he did not blame them. Indeed, even he, who had always prided himself on being well-informed, was stunned by this new combat mode, not to mention the soldiers.  ?

    As the think tank of the Japanese Navy, Chief of Staff Tetsutarou Sato said firmly: "In the future, sea control will probably also include air control." On the side, the eyes of Yamamoto Isoroku, the principal of the Japanese Naval Academy, flashed, and all he was thinking  He looked at the airship in the sky.

    "Report." The staff officer came over, "Urgent telegram from the cabinet."

    "Say." Suzuki Kantaro said.

    "Our navy shall not engage in armed conflict with the Chinese rescue team and immediately withdraw to Yokosuka Naval Port. Order, severely reprimand the commander of Yokosuka Naval Port Kanji Kato, and deduct three months of salary as punishment." After the staff officer read it, he carefully handed the message to Suzuki.  In Kantaro's hands.

    "This is the second telegram." Kantaro Suzuki said to himself.

    "Yes." Sato Tetsutarou said, "I estimate that the third telegram will be sent in less than ten minutes. Do you want to make a bet?"

    "Haha, ignore it." Suzuki Kantaro said, "We have to take a look at the Chinese fleet. If it is worth destroying, then don't hesitate. If it is not worth mentioning, teach it a lesson."

    "Lesson?" Sato Tetsutarou asked with a smile.

    "Surround them." Kantaro Suzuki laughed.

    "Your Excellency, Commander." Kato Kanji heard that the two of them meant that they no longer wanted to fight, and he immediately became anxious. As the main combatant, he naturally wanted to fight. This time, he came to the First Fleet as an observer just to make noise.  Kantaro Suzuki fought against the Chinese Navy.  So Kanji Kato immediately said anxiously: "This is a rare and good opportunity that must not be let go. As for the Prime Minister, I think he is a politician and cannot understand what the power of decision-making on the battlefield is."

    Suzuki Kantaro touched his white beard, wondering what he was thinking.

    Kato Kanji added: "Isn't this attack on the Chinese rescue team the purpose of our departure? Do we have to give up? Your Excellency, Commander, please do not hesitate. Victory is right in front of you. The opportunity to eliminate the last navy in China is near.  It¡¯s very close.¡±

    "Woooooooo" The sound of the airship's motor in the sky became louder. The Chinese airship forward force was only a few kilometers away from the Japanese First Fleet.

    "Report! The third telegram from the Prime Minister has arrived." the staff officer said hurriedly. "The content is exactly the same as the previous one, except for the addition that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent is preparing to visit the Chinese refugee camp. In addition, the ambassadors of Britain, the United States and France hope that Asia  Let the sea calm down and urge our government to destroy warships in compliance with the Washington Naval Treaty as soon as possible."

    "Asshole! Damn white people." Kato Kanji said angrily. A group of naval officers were also furious after hearing the "Washington Naval Treaty", but they did not dare to say anything because Suzuki Suzuki, one of the Japanese representatives of the "Washington Naval Treaty"  Taro is their commander.

    Tetsutarou Sato looked at Suzuki and said, "It seems that our Prime Minister Kiyoura Keigo is afraid."

    Suzuki Kantaro shook his head and said: "Prime Minister Kiyura is now in a state of embarrassment because of the constant attacks from the Seiyoukai."??If a Sino-Japanese conflict breaks out now, I think Qingpu will be even more embarrassed.  Well, although I don't like this guy who is a consultant, he is a representative of the royal family.  "

    ¡°It¡¯s difficult to fight or not,¡± Tetsutarou Sato sighed.

    "For us, how about the Chinese? I think they are writing suicide notes now, right?" Kantaro Suzuki said.

    "What are you going to do?" Sato Tetsutarou asked.

    Suzuki Kantaro raised his telescope and stared into the distance for a while. Seventeen warships of the Chinese rescue fleet appeared in the distance, but they were not worth mentioning in terms of tonnage.
