Chapter 256: India Strategy (1)

Yamamoto Fifty-six asked unhurriedly, "Your Highness, who are you scolding?" ”

"Who else, Horikichi, has ill intentions! Daring! There is no sir! I'm going to remove him! ”

"Oh...... Then I'll go first. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½β€

"Where?"

"Enter the palace and resign."

"You!"

Yamamoto fifty-six raised his head and glanced at the other party: "It's weird, the person was recommended by me, you have to remove him, I don't even have the right to resign?" Your Highness, this is too deceitful, isn't it? ”

"You, bastard!"

"Who are you scolding this time?" Yamamoto Fifty-six walked up to King Hirokoshi Fushimi and stared at him with an eagle-sharp gaze.

"You, you...... You ......" King Fushimi Palace Hirokoto was so angry that he couldn't speak, but he didn't dare to face Yamamoto Fifty-six's gaze, let alone scold the other party directly, although the other party was not tall, but he was afraid that he couldn't stop it.

Yamamoto Fifty-six ignored him, turned his head and asked Ishihara, "What does the army think about this matter?" ”

"The telegram is well written." Ishihara said with a smile, "Look,...... Aircraft, tanks, artillery, and supplies are all available, but there is a lack of loyal, brave and resolute army officers and soldiers, and only army generals who have insight into the overall situation and command the whole situation. In the eyes of the navy, isn't the army all red deer......"

"According to this strategy, of course it won't be a red deer."

"Then why don't you follow this strategy?"

"Is that a red deer, do you still need me to say?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, staring at King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong, and several junior staff officers next to him couldn't help laughing: General Yamamoto has a red deer, which sounds like he is talking about the army, but in fact he is scolding the chief of the military command department.

King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong was so angry that he slapped the table and shouted, "Yamamoto, who are you scolding? ”

"What about scolding the army...... Yamamoto didn't reply, he replied casually, except for Fushimi Palace, who was facing away, everyone else saw his expression of frowning at Ishihara Wan'er, and everyone snickered again.

King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong wanted to have a seizure but couldn't, so he could only sit down again.

"I wondered, how could he take Ceylon?" War Minister Tada Jun asked puzzledly, "The Combined Fleet is powerful, but no matter how powerful it is, can it sail to the island of Ceylon?" ”

"With 4 German Marine Brigades and our own Marine Corps."

"4 German Marine Brigades?" Ishihara was stunned, "Where did you come from?" ”

"You don't know?" Yamamoto Fifty-six also felt strange, "Didn't you pass through the base camp some time ago?" ”

"The Military Command Department didn't tell us!" Tada Jun was so angry that he yelled at King Hirokoshi Fushimi Palace, "Why didn't you inform us of such important news?" ”

Fushimi Miyahiro Gong Wang was dumb and couldn't say that he couldn't say that he wanted to get a place in India with these four brigades after the official offensive campaign began, so he deliberately didn't tell the army, who knew that Horikichi was bold and wanted to use these four brigades to start a war directly, which not only disturbed his wishful thinking, but also made him ugly in front of the army.

Ignoring his embarrassment, Yamamoto explained, "Horikichi borrowed soldiers from the German FΓΌhrer. The Combined Fleet stirred up the peace in North America, paralyzed the Panama Canal, and bombed New York along the way, and the results were extremely brilliant, and the Germans were very happy, not only gave us an extra batch of planes, tanks, and artillery, but also promised to send four additional brigades and more than 20,000 men to assist us in carrying out the Indian strategy. More than 20,000 people are quite a lot, and it was they who brought down the island of Madagascar, and they have very rich combat experience. ”

Several bigwigs of the army glanced at each other and immediately formed a unified opinion: "This thing can be done, if we can ensure that the island of Ceylon can be taken, the navy will first control and build a base, and the next step will be to deal with the Indian mainland, and we can calmly use Ceylon as a transit point for troop and material dispatch." ”

The vice minister of the army, Shimomura, said embarrassedly: "This, since you have taken an extra batch of equipment, that ...... Can the planes be divided into a little more land forces? ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six glanced at King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong: "If Your Highness insists on not sending other naval units to reinforce it, it will always be the first to use the army, and then return it to us when it is used up......."

The next batch of army staff officers laughed so much that their stomachs hurt: they still want to get it out again after entering the army's mouth? There are no doors! Admiral Yamamoto is also humorous, and he speaks so tactfully that he suddenly makes people think that the admiral is very cute.

"Yo-si, Yo-si." Tada Jun rubbed his hands excitedly, "Tomorrow, no!" Now we're going to transfer troops! Most of the troops are already in the Philippines, and Yamashita Bongbun himself is also in the Philippines, and if you move quickly, you can get there in 7-10 days, well, the flight division can go over and receive the planes first. ”

"You have your own boat, don't you?"

"Yes, yes."

"Just bring some light weapons and supplies, and replace all the heavy equipment with new ones when the time comes......"

Shimomura smiled like a flower, and nodded vigorously: "Understood, understood!" ”

King Fushimi Miyahiro knew that Yamamoto Fifty-six was roasting him on the fire now: the Indian strategy had been discussed a long time ago, and it would be activated as soon as the combined fleet returned, and the original idea was to return to the mainland to unload supplies and transfer the army troops south before attacking. With the help of four more German brigades, it became extremely feasible to revise the overall plan, and it would be of even more value to attack Ceylon first and gain an forward base. From a military point of view, Hori's strategy was faster, more rapid, and more unexpected.

The reason why he was so annoyed was that after the war in North America and Panama, he deeply felt that the Military Command Department had completely lost control of the Combined Fleet, and he secretly played Hirohito several times and prepared to adjust Horikiyoshi's position by means of Ming Sheng and secretly surrendering: on the grounds of great merit, he was allowed to enter the Marshal's Mansion and serve as a military counselor, nominally a "marshal admiral" with a noble status, but in fact he no longer served as the commander of the Combined Fleet. He also thought about the successor of the Combined Fleet, so he asked Koga Mineichi, the deputy head of the Military Command Department, to take over.

In his eyes, it was not particularly difficult to attack India, and he didn't want to leave the credit for this kind of territory expansion to Horikichi again. After taking Horikiyoshi, he broke Yamamoto's arm, and then he could logically clean Yamamoto, but he didn't expect Horiyoshi's sudden hand to put him in a dilemma.

It is obviously impossible to call a halt now, and Horikichi specially sent a telegram two days in advance to inform him of the proposal to change the plan, indicating that he had already carefully considered this matter - if it is okay, it must be done, and if it is not possible, it must be done!

At this time, King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong came back to his senses: the four marine brigades of the Germans were not white, they were completely the capital of Horiyoshi's "********", and judging from Yamamoto's performance just now, he said that the two did not communicate and tacit understanding secretly, and he did not believe it if he died.

Beads of sweat were pouring out of his head, and now the Military Command Department was in a difficult situation: the Army had agreed to the adjustment request of the Combined Fleet and was about to begin to implement it, which he could not stop; At present, all the materials and equipment are in the hands of Horiyoshi, in case the navy can't grab the big head in the future, the following generals will not blame Horiyoshi, they will only point the finger at themselves.

In this case, whether he wants it or not, he can only agree to Horiyoshi's adjustment.

This was really an incomparably loud slap in the face to the commander-in-chief of the military command department, who had always been angry about the uncontrolled control of the combined fleet, and it was also done in public. Koga Feng, who had been silent, watched his face change from red to purple, and then from purple to pale, and finally staggered to his feet, and only had time to say: "I'm not feeling well, you can watch and handle the rest of the matter...... " and collapsed, and was immediately sent to the hospital.

After King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong was carried away, Ishihara Wan'er said to Yamamoto Fifty-six slowly: "You treat him like this, and you show no mercy, I am afraid that he will retaliate in the future." ”

Yamamoto sighed: "I'm envious of you, if he is willing to be a little more leisurely, who would dare not sell his face?" The bad thing is that I don't know anything, but I still have to meddle ......."

Ishihara was just about to answer something, when the phone rang, and it was the voice of the chief of staff, Minoru Higashikurenomiya: "I heard that Horikichi proposed a new strategy, has the base camp discussed it?" ”javascript:

"After discussion, I think that this idea is more feasible and effective, and at present, we are adjusting the battle plan and troop dispatch around this strategy, do we need to report to His Highness in detail?"

"No need, you just have to decide, I believe you!" After thinking about it, he added, "You have to communicate well with the navy!" ”

Inoue Narumi, who followed behind Yamamoto, also sighed, expressing her envy for Ishihara: King Minoru of Higashikurenomiya stuffed the daily work of the staff headquarters to Ishihara, except for attending major occasions, he basically couldn't see others the rest of the time, and at most occasionally came to the base camp to go around. Whenever someone asked him for his opinion on a major issue, he would say, "Go and ask Ishihara, his opinion is my opinion." ”

Even so, no one thinks that he doesn't understand, only that he is broad-minded, knows people well, and fully delegates power. Moreover, this chief of staff of the imperial family has a good point, when it is time to fight for the interests of the army, he is running up and down, using all his strength, and does not hesitate to use the status and seniority of the emperor's uncle to subdue others. Many people are lamenting that when he was young, King Minoru Higashikurenomiya was a famous playboy, and King Hiroko Fushimi was a diligent and studious. I thought that King Minoru Higashikuremiya, who was the chief of staff, would make a foreign appearance, but I didn't expect that in the end, it was all the chief of the military command department who made a fool of himself, which was really shocking.

"Your Highness has agreed, then you can let it go, this ......" Ishihara Wan'er pointed to the position of King Fushimi Miyahiro Gong, "It doesn't matter, the enemy is current, and the navy can't mess with itself." ”

"It's not a day or two that he wants to get rid of us, and every time he always wants to make big news, it's still too naΓ―ve." Yamamoto Fifty-six smiled, "With me, it's not so easy for him to succeed, and the fleet is not blind, and there are still Germans, without Hori Yoshito in front of them, they will be so generous?" ”

"But, to be honest, this adjustment is still a bit hasty." Ishihara said, "No matter how good the German aircraft and heavy equipment are, it will take time to adapt to it......

"Ready-made Germans, isn't it? Besides, naval aviation will also be dispatched, and you will not be left alone. Yamamoto said with great ambition, "When India is taken, the strategic situation and room for maneuver will be greatly improved." ”

"Then I wish the Navy a victorious start......" (To be continued.) )
