    The reason why the navy is not interested is very simple. The whole of Manchuria is the territory of your Kwantung Army. If you conquer it, it has nothing to do with the navy. My warships cannot go ashore to compete with you for territory. The navy has a few  This special Marine Corps is still precious and cannot be wasted in the desolate mountains of Manchuria.

    Since there is no benefit, then why should you ask me to step in when you lose the battle? Who is willing to step forward to do something that has no benefit? What's more, the navy, which has already made plans to move south, has focused its main energy on Southeast Asia, especially those with long voyages.  The land-based aviation forces have been withdrawn from the Chinese battlefield and the mainland and are gradually deployed to Hainan Island and Taiwan.

    Regarding the Songhua River Basin, the Navy was very inactive. For the Navy, Manchuria was the sphere of influence of the Kwantung Army, and it could not get involved. In addition to Luda, the Kwantung Army had always been hostile to the Navy regarding the use of other ports.  Strict restrictions were imposed, and they would rather support a so-called Puppet Manchukuo Maritime Guard than allow the navy to intervene.

    It is not surprising that the Navy is not enthusiastic under the situation that it is quite dissatisfied. Who told you that the Kwantung Army is so stingy that even the Huludao port that the Navy has been eyeing for a long time is not allowed to be used by the Navy. As for the resources of Manchuria, it is yours.  The Army has a monopoly, and even the weapons and equipment produced by the Fengtian Arsenal, which has been incorporated into the entire imperial military production system, are of Army standard, and the Navy can't get anything out of it.

    It¡¯s just that this time it was the Army who proposed the battle plan. Although the Navy was not very enthusiastic and even indifferent, after a period of wrangling, it was finally decided by His Majesty the Emperor, and the Navy was unable to raise any objections. Moreover,  In the view of some senior personnel of the Navy, the Army's request for help from the Navy this time is obviously the Army bowing to the Navy.

    With this rare opportunity to overpower the Army, after putting on airs and bargaining, we still have to grasp what we need to grasp. The Navy also took advantage of this rare opportunity and finally took over what was originally strictly controlled by the Kwantung Army.  Now that Huludao Port has been acquired, it is natural that it should be given some face.

    However, due to the excessive conflicts accumulated in the past, the Navy obviously does not want the Army, especially the Kwantung Army, to stop executing this plan. At the very least, it has to find ways to find something to cause trouble for them, and it is doing its best.  The navy, which is preparing to march south, is really afraid that the army will lose all the navy's new fighter jets, which currently only have more than 200.

    With this mentality, under the emperor's tough attitude, although the navy had to bow its head, it chose to send such a thorn in the side, which was clearly intended to weaken the army. Although this guy's ability is not to be said, he is also one of the Japanese soldiers.  He is one of the few senior commanders in China who has jointly commanded army and naval aviation operations.

    And the most important thing is that this guy will not follow the army's arrangements and be at the mercy of the army. During the battle, he will protect the interests of the navy. If it were someone else, the navy would not be worried. The two hundred soldiers dispatched by the navy this time  Of the new Zero fighters, more than ninety were withdrawn from the aircraft carrier by the Navy specifically for this operation, and the rest were almost all the new Zero fighters in the land-based aviation force.

    As for the Navy's participation in the war, the thirty-six Type One land attack aircraft deployed on Jeju Island that had just been transferred back from Taiwan were almost all of the latest bombers in the hands of the Navy. Except for the part deployed in Saigon, these aircraft were the Navy's  The capital of marching south, fighting the American and British aviation forces, and dealing with the American and British fleets cannot be sold out to the Japanese all at once in this battle.

    Some time ago, the Navy's latest and only a small number of Zero fighters participated in the war. Faced with the heavy losses suffered during the counterattack, the Navy still remembers them deeply. In order to preserve these precious combat aircraft, the Navy specially sent these  Major General Onishi Takijiro, who has always had his own way and never been manipulated, was transferred to cooperate with the army.

    This guy is talented and capable, but he is difficult to get along with others and is not easily manipulated by others. He is also famous in the navy. During the joint air raids by the army and navy on Chongqing and the rear areas of the China battlefield, he almost failed to defeat the army.  Several aviation team leaders stationed in China always resigned due to schizophrenia.

    When I heard that the Navy had actually sent this guy, he had been transferred from the deputy position of the General Staff Headquarters to the commander of the Kwantung Army Aviation Corps before this battle. On the battlefield in China, he had had a relationship with this guy because he had served as the commander of the Army's Provisional Aviation Corps.  Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi, who had cooperated with him, repeatedly protested and even resigned.

    It was only under the forcible suppression of General Umezu Yoshijiro that he withdrew his resignation. You must know that Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi was once a descendant of the shogunate and the current head of a branch of the Tokugawa family. Because of his family background, he is quite well-educated.  It's good, and the city is deep enough.

    Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi has a very good relationship with people no matter how difficult to get along with. It is rare for people to see him get angry. At least his temper is consistent with the general temper.Compared with the grumpy Japanese soldiers, he is quite good, but he is the only one who can't get along with him. This shows how difficult this guy is to get along with.

    The arrival of this guy made the Kwantung Army, which had already admired his famous name for a long time, feel as if he had swallowed a fly. He couldn't spit it out, but he had to bite the bullet and accept it. The navy's attitude was already clear, either use it,  There is no need to pull him, it is absolutely impossible to replace him. Your army does not like to see this major general, but our navy takes it very seriously.

    The most important thing is that it is not just the top brass of the navy who hold this idea. This request for help undoubtedly represents the bow of the army to the navy in the eyes of many army generals, especially as the Japanese navy competes for control of the coastal areas of Manchuria, because  It is even more difficult for the Kwantung Army, which has always had the upper hand due to its geographical convenience, to accept it.

    It's just helpless that the performance of the navy's aviation aircraft has always been superior to that of the army. Although most of the army aviation does not admit this, it is reality after all. The Kwantung Army's own aircraft suffered huge losses, were extremely slow to replenish, and lagged far behind their opponents in performance.  The new aircraft has just been produced and the quantity is too small.

    With its own capabilities alone, the Kwantung Army simply cannot complete its mission. To implement the so-called collapse plan formulated by the Kwantung Army, it can only ask for help from the Navy, unless the Army transfers back all the aviation forces that have been transferred to South China and Vietnam.  , Otherwise, the number of bombers the Kwantung Army has on hand alone will simply not be able to meet its needs.

    Therefore, under the current situation of asking for help from others, General Umezu Yoshijiro, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, can only turn a blind eye to the contemptuous look exposed by this guy when he glanced at his subordinates, at least until the execution of this plan is completed.  You still have to be patient with this guy.

    It's just that no matter how generous General Umezu Yoshijiro is, his face is somewhat ugly. As a general, the commander of the largest strategic group of the Imperial Japanese Army, he is actually looked down upon by a rear admiral. In anyone's heart,  Neither will be too comfortable.

    This time, General Umezu Yoshijiro summoned all the senior personnel of the Kwantung Army for this combat meeting. In fact, there was nothing else. The only purpose was to prepare to finalize the matter that Yang Zhen was most worried about and start to enter the execution state.  .

    As for the current situation on the battlefield, the Kwantung Army does not want to expose its current defeat in front of Major General Onishi Takijiro, a guy who eats wheat. Although this matter cannot be hidden from the top for a long time, General Umezu Yoshijiro clearly does not want to do it at least for now.  Talking too much in front of a tough guy.

    Especially now, when the Army is making an exception to ask for help from the Navy for the Manchuria war situation, if this guy knows something, he may say some ugly words from his mouth, which will only arouse his own anger. When the time comes, he will arouse the calf guard.  The navy took the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, but it was the Kwantung Army's major event that was ruined. This was something that General Umezu Yoshijiro, who had always regarded loyalty to the emperor and patriotism as his own duty, decided not to accept.

    Originally, there was no need to hold a special combat meeting for this plan that had been formulated as early as the beginning of this year, just because this was the first time in recent years that the Kwantung Army had cooperated with the navy, and it was a coordinated operation with the aviation force, and it was very important to the combat area.  As well as the division of combat tasks, we still need to sit down and discuss.

    Especially the guy sent by the navy, he has a bad mouth and is even more unruly. For example, if the division of combat areas and task divisions between the two armies are not discussed in advance, this guy may not be able to figure it out.  When will I cause trouble for you and leave you alone?

    Moreover, in view of the importance of the matter and the joint operations between the two armies, General Umezu Yoshijiro specifically requested such a so-called coordination meeting and named the naval officer who refused to carry out the execution after arriving in Xinjing before he arrived in Xinjing.  , a command that must be changed.

    He wears his navy uniform all day long, which makes him look very different among all the Kwantung Army generals who wear army uniforms. Moreover, the lower lip of his mouth is always slightly tilted downward, showing a look of contempt. When it comes to food, he is picky.  Fourth, they completely demanded that they follow their navy's food standards and eat better than him, the commander of the Kwantung Army, and let the guy who gave him a headache at the sight of it participate.

    In fact, since the first day that the rear admiral arrived in Xinjing, General Umezu Yoshijiro had a headache. After two days of contact, his behavior made the Kwantung Army commander extremely bored. In the past few days, Umezu  General Meijiro has been trying his best to avoid meeting this guy.

    And today's meeting can be said to be held specifically for this guy. If you don't explain it clearly and thoroughly, this guy may give you a strike. The Kwantung Army's battle plan this time,  In addition to requiring naval heavy bombers to participate in the war and even undertake more than half of the combat missions,?The mission of bomber escort also depends on the naval aviation.

    If this guy makes trouble, it may be difficult for this combat plan to succeed, especially when faced with such a thorn that is well-known throughout the Imperial Army. It is better to talk about anything publicly now than when the plan is launched, this guy  It would be much better to go on strike again.

    It can be said that this combat meeting was held specifically for the bright-eyed people of the Navy, and even more for this guy. If the Kwantung Army itself could fully undertake this combat mission, General Umezu Yoshijiro is always a clean and tidy soldier.  The principle is not to waste spit here, let alone bear the unreasonable gaze of that guy here.
