"Navy?" Anan Weiji smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it's not easy to mobilize them again, there are already two naval brigades in Wuhan that have been destroyed by Jiang Haoran, and this time there is also a battalion of marines that has been reduced to nothing, and the big men of the navy are still willing to throw their troops into the Wuhan battlefield, hell?" ”

Anami had served as the emperor's attendant military attaché, so he naturally had more say in the disagreement between the navy and the army than Kinoshita, and at this time, the Japanese navy was stepping up its plans to go south, and it was impossible to put too much energy into the army, especially when the army was losing one after another.

Seeing that Anan Weiji insisted, Kinoshita Yong didn't say anything more, and hurriedly picked up a pen and paper to draft a message.

Tokyo, the base camp of the Japanese army.

Because the Zero fighter was intercepted by Jiang Haoran, it caused panic among the Japanese military high-level, once the secret of the Zero was made public, the Japanese army's air superiority would be gone, and all kinds of new fighters against the Zero would come into being, so the Japanese military high-level decided to speed up the formulation of the southward plan and advance the attack time.

At this time, sitting at the top was the Japanese Emperor Hirohito, on his left was Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, on his right was the Minister of the Navy, Yamagokaku Susui, and then the newly appointed War Minister Shunroku Hatata.

There was also a guest in the command who wasn't supposed to be here - Tada Jun. Since the defeat on the battlefield of Wuhan, Tada Jun was severely punished by the military court with life imprisonment, and he was originally hopeless, and he could only spend his life in prison with the rats, but it was because Jiang Haoran defeated Okamura Ningji and Anan Weiji, and the battle losses of the two were only better than Tada Jun, but they were unharmed. Therefore, the authorities felt that Tada Jun's sentence was too heavy, and that Tada Junliu and Tada Jun had a good personal relationship, and after taking office, Tada Jun was able to gain freedom.

In fact, at this time, the preliminary formulation of the southward plan has ended, and Tada Jun's appearance at the headquarters is also the arrangement of Shunroku Hatata, he hopes that this old subordinate can go out again to contribute to the empire, in the face of Wuhan Anan Weiji's successive defeats, plus Tada Jun has clashed with Jiang Haoran many times, at least he knows Jiang Haoran, so he was allowed to enter the command headquarters by the emperor.

Tada Jun talked eloquently, from Jiang Haoran's appearance in the sky to all the battles he experienced Jiang Haoran, he made a bold assessment of Jiang Haoran, he believes that Jiang Haoran has reached the realm of supernatural both strategy and tactics, and there is no one in the high-level commanders of the Japanese army who can match it, and Jiang Haoran is extremely creative and powerful, and has a new set of theories from weapons and equipment to tactical tactics, which is simply not at the level of Japanese commanders. Therefore, the only way to deal with Jiang Haoran is to avoid his edge, dig up a lot of secrets on Jiang Haoran, create his ambition to become the leader of China, and even openly send a high-profile envoy to negotiate with Jiang Haoran, as long as he agrees to an armistice, the Japanese Empire can make the greatest concessions and push him to the position of leader of China.

Of course, Jiang Haoran may not agree, but this move is mainly for Jiang and the world to see, with the mind of their chairman, how can he be allowed to develop as the world and then replace himself?

There is a very clear example in the history of China, that is, Yue Fei of the Southern Song Dynasty, when the Mongolian army was also unprepared for Yue Fei and retreated, it was in this way that Yue Fei was killed in the Fengbo Pavilion, throughout the history of China, thousands of years of history, as long as a general was involved in politics, he was not far from death.

Although Tada's remarks were sharp, even belittling the Imperial Japanese Army, they were greeted with a nod and a sigh, and it was clear that his bold remarks were recognized by the top brass and gave him confidence to continue his bold speculation.

He proposed that not only in the disposal of Jiang Haoran can be emulated from the Meng Yuan, in the offensive can also learn from the Meng Yuan to destroy the Song Dynasty, when the Mongol army in the west from Sichuan and Shaanxi, east to the Huai River downstream thousands of miles of the front launched an attack on the Southern Song Dynasty at the same time, its march route coincided with the imperial army, but was met with the Southern Song Dynasty army's desperate resistance, the battle once fell into a stalemate, and the imperial army at this time is almost the same as the predicament, the plan to occupy the Southern Song Dynasty has not succeeded for a long time, more than ten years later, the Mongolian Emperor changed his tactics and adopted a strategy of detouring the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Avoiding the main defense line of the Song army, a strategic detour was carried out before the attack, from the Dali Kingdom in Yunnan to the rear of the southwest, forming a flanking attack on the Southern Song Dynasty, so that the Southern Song Dynasty was completely destroyed, so the imperial army could completely follow the attack on the Song Dynasty to deal with the current predicament.

I have to say that Tada Jun did not sit in prison in vain in the past two years, although he was in prison, he did not decade, but took this opportunity to read a lot of books on Chinese history, deepened his understanding of Chinese culture, and also made a deep reflection on the several battles between himself and Jiang Haoran, and finally came to a sober conclusion that the imperial army had no possibility of defeating Jiang Haoran on the frontal battlefield, and thought of a solution from it.

Tada's remarks were immediately highly praised by the Minister of the Navy, Okaku Tsuyoshi, because this move was completely similar to the Japanese army's plan to move south, except that it faced a wider area and a longer battle front, but the purpose was the same in the end.

On the one hand, it is the affirmation of Tada Jun, hoping to give him the opportunity to go on the expedition again, on the other hand, Hata Shunroku is really choked by Jiang Haoran, and he wishes there was a new concept to explain the defeat along the way.

Obviously, his goal was achieved, and before he could win the approval of Okaku, even Prime Minister Hideki Tojo and Emperor Hirohito cast approving glances at Tada.

At this moment, a senior staff officer hurriedly walked in and brought the latest news from Wuhan, half an hour earlier, Jiang Haoran again used the fighters and bombers plundered from the imperial army to attack the naval ships on the Yangtze River, and the underground ship brigade was almost completely annihilated, losing more than 60 ships of all sizes and more than 3,000 imperial soldiers.

Before the staff officer could finish his words, Okari immediately got up in anger and rebuked Shunroku Hata for the inaction of his army, and killed his naval officers one after another.

Hata Junroku did not show weakness, and immediately accused the navy of ineffective precautions, knowing that Jiang Haoran had seized dozens of planes of the imperial army, but did not carry out the necessary precautions in the air.

"Smack!" There was a sound on the ground, Emperor Hirohito took the case, angrily reprimanded the two for not being able to distinguish the current situation, and now the war is in full swing ahead, as the minister of sea and land of the empire, he does not want to break the enemy, but is in the mood to eat dog here, which is simply a shame for the imperial army, and the two of them sat down again.
