During the war, Minoru Genda did not have much time to travel in Germany, and two days after the meeting with Chen Dao, Minoru Genda completed his procurement task and personally called Chen Dao to say goodbye.

Chen Dao was very face-saving and personally went to Berlin to see off Minoru Genda.

On the runway of the airport outside Berlin, Chen Dao, Minoru Genda, and Hiroshi Oshima fought side by side with an FW-200C transport plane.

Chen Dao and Minoru Genda's four hands were clasped tightly.

"Mr. Genda, because of my busy schedule, I can't accompany you to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Germany, and I'm really sorry that I can't go. When the war is over, I will give you the next invitation to all the officers of the Combined Fleet to visit Germany. After you are gone, I will be in Germany, waiting for the good news of your victory. ”

Minoru Genda bowed to Chen Dao again and again, and said politely: "Your Excellency is so polite, you can see off Gentian in the midst of your busy schedule, Genda is very grateful." Thanks to your intervention, Genda's purchase has saved our navy a lot of money, and Commander Yamamoto asked me to thank you for your care on his behalf. ”

Chen Dao raised his right hand, picked up a black suitcase in the hand of Major Lorenz beside him and handed it to Minoru Genda.

"Mr. Genda, this is a gift from General Yamamoto, and I would like you to hand it over to General Yamamoto."

Minoru Genda took the black suitcase, feeling that the suitcase was light and fluttering, and there was no weight.

Could it be a secret document? Genda secretly guessed in his heart.

Chen Dao took a rectangular wooden box from the orderly behind him, held it in both hands and handed it to Minoru Gentian.

"Mr. Genda, this is my gift to Ryoro Tadaichiro. This gift is a bit special, try not to let too many people see it. I think this gift will be enjoyed not only by Tadaichiro, but also by you. ”

Minoru Genda hurriedly took the wooden box with both hands. It feels a bit heavier than the previous black suitcase.

"I thank you for your kindness on behalf of Tadaichiro. I'm ashamed to say that Genda came in a hurry this time and couldn't bring any special gifts to you, so please forgive me. ”

"You go back and tell General Yamamoto to win a few more battles and kill a few more Americans. It's the best gift for me. ”

After some politeness, Chen Dao sent Minoru Genda onto the plane, waved goodbye to Minoru Genda through the glass of the cabin, and did not turn around and leave until the huge body of the FW-200C transport plane rushed into the blue sky.

Minoru Genda sat in a compartment specially set up for him in the cabin, and when the plane finished its climb and flew smoothly in the sky, he couldn't wait to unbuckle his seat belt.

He didn't dare to look at the contents of the black suitcase, so he could only reach for the long wooden box.

A small golden lock hangs from the wooden crate, and the same small key is inserted in the key hole of the lock.

Open the lock. Minoru Genda lifted the lid of the box and saw that a transparent rectangular plastic box was placed in the wooden box.

After seeing the contents of the plastic box, Minoru Genda's gaze did not move for half a minute.

"Tuk Tuk"

There was a knock on the door, and Minoru Genda's surprised gaze instantly turned into alertness.

He slammed the lid of the crate shut, relocked it, and held the key tightly.

"Who? Come in"

It was Minoru Genda's orderly who came in.

"Dazuo, I cut a watermelon."

"I won't eat it, so take it and eat it." Remember to send half to the pilots of the crew. Minoru Genda said.

The orderly turned around and was about to leave, when he heard Minoru Genda say, "Find me a rope." The finer the better. ”

Two minutes later, Minoru Genda chained the key to the rope that the orderly was looking for, which was actually a shoelace, and hung around his neck.

Carefully tucking the key to his chest and feeling the coolness of the key, Minoru Genda was relieved.

The FW-200C transport aircraft flew from Berlin to Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. After refueling, they departed for Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, and then flew to Yokosuka Military Port on the Japanese mainland.

Along the way, Minoru Genda always kept an inch away from the black suitcase and wooden box, and even when he went to the toilet, the orderly had to stand within his sight with two boxes in his hand.

At 6:20 a.m. on July 26. The transport plane landed at a military airfield of the Combined Fleet in the port of Yokosuka.

Minoru Genda had dark circles under his eyes, carrying a black suitcase in his left hand and a long wooden box under his right arm, and hurried to the car waiting by the airport runway.

"Quick, go to the headquarters, I want to see Commander Yamamoto." Genda said.

Genda took a big stride and hurried into Yamamoto Isoroku's office, where Yamamoto Isoroku was waiting for him.

Glancing at the Kuroshima Kameto standing next to Yamamoto Isoroku, Minoru Genda put the black leather box and long wooden box in his hand on Yamamoto Isoroku's desk.

After raising his hand and saluting Yamamoto Fifty-six, Minoru Genda said quickly: "Commander, everything is going well in Europe for my trip, the scheduled twelve sets of radars, and the corresponding raw materials for aircraft manufacturing have been ordered, and the follow-up shipments will be handled by the embassy, and they will soon be loaded from Germany."

Under the care of His Excellency Diablo, we saved fifteen percent of our money, and he personally presented us with fifty tons of aviation gasoline as a congratulatory gift for our victory at the Battle of Midway. ”

"Yo Xi, General Rosen is indeed a generous friend." Yamamoto fifty-six nodded approvingly.

"Does General Rosen have any guidance on operations?" The Black Island Turtle Man asked.

"Yes, I'll talk about that later. Let's take a look at the gift he gave us, it was a great gift. ”

"Oh? What gift? Yamamoto stood up curiously and looked at the black leather case and the long wooden box on the table.

The Black Island Turtle Man also gathered at his desk.

Minoru Genda took off the key hanging around his neck, opened the wooden box, and carefully held the plastic box inside and placed it on the desk.

Seeing the contents of the plastic box, Isoroku Yamamoto was equally shocked by Minoru Genda, along with Kameto Kuroshima.

There is a wooden base under the plastic box, and on the base is a model of an aircraft carrier, but this aircraft carrier is different from all the aircraft carriers that Yamamoto has seen before, and there is a protruding beveled deck behind the left side of the flight deck.

After staring at the strangely shaped aircraft carrier model for more than ten seconds, Yamamoto struggled to look away from it.

"Does General Rosen have any explanation for this model?"

"There is no other explanation than to keep it a secret. Here's an instruction manual, though. Minoru Genda took out a blank piece of paper from the wooden box.

After reading the above Japanese explanation, Yamamoto Isoroku and Kuroshima Kameto learned that the deck on the model of the new aircraft carrier was divided into two parts.

The straight deck at the front of the ship is the take-off area, and the beveled deck at the rear half is the landing area, and the intersection of the oblique and straight forms a triangular parking area.

The slope of the inclined deck is expressed by the angle between the center line of the inclined deck and the center line of the bow and tail of the aircraft carrier.

The advantage of the beveled deck is that if the landing aircraft fails to hook the arresting cable, it can immediately pull up and go-around without colliding with the aircraft parked on the foredeck. Other than that. Take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft can be carried out simultaneously.

"The take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft can be carried out at the same time, and the design of this aircraft carrier is truly a revolutionary breakthrough. General Rosen went so far as to give us all this secret weapon, and I really don't know what to say. ”

"There is no doubt that General Rosen is the kind of friend who can be regarded as a confidant." The Black Island Turtle Man said suddenly.

"You're right, Kuroshima-kun." Yamamoto was filled with emotion for a while.

Minoru Genda had long been shocked by the new aircraft carrier, not as shocked as Yamamoto and Kuroshima, and his attention shifted to the black suitcase on his desk.

"Commander, this black suitcase is a personal gift from General Rosen to you. You see・・・・・・"

Minoru Genda stared at the black suitcase and asked tentatively, he couldn't wait to find out what secrets were in the black suitcase.

Yamamoto saw the eagerness hidden in Minoru Genda's eyes, so he said to Minoru Genda, "Help me open it and take a look, I also want to know what kind of gift our Diablo gave me." ”

Minoru Genda and Kuroshima started at the same time, opened the black suitcase, and saw that the suitcase contained a kraft paper file bag.

"Commander, it's three portfolios." Genda said.

"Take it apart and take a look."

Minoru Genda and Kuroshima each picked up a file bag to unpack. Yamamoto curiously picked up the third file bag.

The file bag in Minoru Genda's hand is the thickest and the largest.

After a hurried look at the contents of the document. Minoru Genda said: "Commander, it seems that this contains drawings about the internal structure of the new aircraft carrier. ”

"Yo Xi, Kuroshima-kun, what do you see?" Yamamoto asked.

"It's about the plan for forming a kamikaze team, and the correct timing and method of using the kamikaze." Kuroshima Kameto raised his head and looked at Yamamoto and said.

"Kamikaze? Could it be ・・・・・・?"

Yamamoto put down the file bag in his hand. Holding the information in Kuroshima's hand, he hurriedly read it and said: "No wonder General Rosen was able to hold a high position at a young age, and his talent is no longer limited to military aspects. If you look at this paragraph, the kamikaze team he analyzed will have different effects when used in different time periods. It will also have a different effect on the direction of the battle. It's really scary that he's thinking so thoroughly, but luckily he's our friend. ”

"It's just that if he starts to form this kind of suicidal force now, is he too pessimistic about the direction of the future war." The Black Island Turtle Man said.

"You see, he has made it very clear here that in any case, the Great Japanese Empire cannot be compared with the United States in material terms, and we must play to our strengths and make up for our material deficiencies with a fearless spirit of sacrifice. He was able to come up with such a battle plan, and Diablo was a true name for it. ”

Minoru Genda said: "After this war is over, General Lawson's name of Diablo will definitely be on par with Oda Nobunaga's Sixth Heavenly Demon King. ”

Putting down the file bag in his hand, Yamamoto took the file bag in his hand and pulled out the documents inside.

After seeing the content on the first page, Yamamoto's face became extremely strange, and after hurriedly flipping through all the contents, the wrinkles on Yamamoto's face formed a capital word, confused.

"Take it and see, our Diablo seems to be playing dumb riddles with us."

Minoru Genda and Kuroshima Kameto, the two heads came together and looked at the contents of the document.

"It's a comic?" After Minoru Genda saw the contents of the document clearly, he suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.

On the first sheet of paper, a chart of the Southwest Pacific Ocean is in the background.

On the land of Australia on the chart, a frog with a cigar in its mouth and sunglasses on its head lies on the belly of the frog, and the three English letters "USA" are written in capital letters.

The Black Island Turtle Man flipped to the second sheet of paper, and the background of the picture was still a chart of the Southwest Pacific.

The protagonist of the picture is still a frog, but instead of casual attire, the frog wears a steel helmet and appears fully armed on a small island in the north of Australia.

Kuroshima still kept a straight face, looking through one paper after another with a blank expression.

On each piece of paper, the frog jumps some distance north across the Pacific Ocean.

On the final sheet, the frog lies on a beach chair with a cigar in its mouth in its home Tokyo, facing the sky, enjoying a massage from two women in kimonos.

Yamamoto patiently waited for his two cronies to read the manga and asked, "What do you say, what does he want to say?" ”

"General Rosen will not be bored enough to give us a comic, and the content of this comic, combined with the fact that General Rosen is a rare all-rounder in land and naval warfare, I can be sure that he is telling us that the Americans are ・・・・・・ the frog in the comics, and will launch a counteroffensive against us on the islands in the Pacific Ocean with a unique tactic." Minoru Genda said.

Pointing to the second page of the manga, the Black Island Turtle Man said, "This frog seems to have crossed our well-defended Rabaul. ”

Re-looking at the third page, on the fourth page・・・・・・ Kuroshima frowned and said: "The rest of the content is almost the same, that frog crossed over our important defense nodes, and then used the islands occupied by it to use the air force and navy to destroy our logistics line and disrupt our defense system." ”

"How much damage do you think will be done to our defense system if the Americans really use it, and if it succeeds?" Yamamoto asked.

"This is Diablo's warning to us, and we must do a war game to give an answer." Kuroshima said.

"This gift from General Rosen to me is truly priceless, and its value cannot be measured by money. He's really the most loyal friend of the Combined Fleet, and I can't wait to meet him a second time and have a good time. Unfortunately, I regret that I will not be able to realize this wish until after the end of the war. Yamamoto Fifty-six looked at the west from afar, and sighed for a while.

・・・・・・

Wolf's den, in Goering's office.

"Ahh Chen Dao sneezed violently.

"Got a cold?" Goering asked with concern.

"No, it's just an itchy nose." Chen Dao rubbed his nose and said.

"Your gift to the Japanese is a bit too expensive, and I don't think it's appropriate."

"You don't understand, the highest level of strategic deception is to deceive with sincerity. I am now deceiving the Japanese with sincerity, and only in this way can they continue to maintain their trust in me in the complicated war situation in the future. Chen Dao said.

"Now, shouldn't we deceive the Americans and the British with sincerity?"

"Of course, what we have to do next is to let Rabe's Diary fly for a while." (To be continued.) )
