What makes people laugh and cry is that while Japan is actively preparing for war and drawing up a series of military actions against the United States and Southeast Asia, it is also actively holding peace talks with the United States.

Japanese Ambassador Saburo Nomura was actively campaigning in the United States, as if he really wanted to sign a peace treaty with the United States.

In order to support this Japanese diplomat, German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop even sent two German diplomats to Japan to mediate.

Of course, this was also instructed by the fake Führer Li Le - to paralyze the United States as much as possible and make the United States lose more in the Pearl Harbor attack, which is Germany's real purpose.

"Yamamoto-kun!" An admiral, dressed in the uniform of a Japanese admiral, knelt down on a tatami mat laid out in the room and bent down in greeting.

"How's the preparations?" Without greeting each other's names, the commander-in-chief of the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy, Admiral Fifty-six Yamamoto had already asked anxiously.

It's no wonder that he is so anxious, because this time he went to sea to train Japan's secret weapon, and it was definitely worth his gaffe for it.

The general hurriedly replied: "The latest supply ship can replenish the fleet with all kinds of supplies, and according to the available data, it is in line with our tactical arrangement." ”

After hearing this answer, Yamamoto Fifty-six nodded with satisfaction, and finally put his mind at ease.

If Japan wanted to quickly gain a strategic advantage over the United States after the start of the war, it had to attack Pearl Harbor.

This is already the unanimous idea of the Japanese Navy, so what Yamamoto Isoroku has to do is to do everything possible to make this sneak attack possible.

The British battle at the military port of Taranto in Italy, although unsuccessful, did inspire the Japanese.

They were also preparing to carry out such an attack, directly at Pearl Harbor, where the Americans considered the safest, to kill the US Pacific Fleet.

The base camp and the navy itself began to implement their own plan for a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor before Germany landed in Britain.

After the Germans had occupied the southern part of Britain and achieved a complete victory, the senior officers of the base camp could not sit still.

They also want to be like Germany, with a hearty victory, to repay the motherland's large military investment over the years.

Aren't soldiers spilling their blood for their motherland at a critical juncture?

In order to attack Pearl Harbor, Japan still has many technical and tactical problems that need to be seriously resolved.

First of all, the first serious problem that Yamamoto encountered was the choice of route for the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.

If the most common southern route was taken, the Japanese fleet would be completely under the surveillance of the Americans.

There was a Japanese supply base on this route, but the Americans were also monitoring this base 24 hours a day.

As soon as the Japanese fleet appeared on this route, the Americans could mobilize their fleets to prevent trouble.

In real history, the Japanese Navy did not choose this route to complete their plan of attack on Pearl Harbor.

Therefore, if you want to get close to Pearl Harbor unnoticed, you can only take the northern route. There are almost no islands on this route, and there is no way for the United States to set up a tight surveillance network.

Unfortunately, if Japan wanted to take this route, it had to resupply by sea, which was a new technology at the time.

It has not been long since the United States developed this technology, and they do not believe that the Japanese can develop a similar technology.

It is a pity that the Japanese also played this technique, which was simply tailor-made for the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.

This time, Yamamoto Isoroku ordered his men to experiment with this technique, in order to test whether it could be used for long-range surprise attacks.

"Excellent! If this set of technology is mature, then we will have another three points of certainty in the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor! Yamamoto said excitedly.

The plan for the attack on Pearl Harbor was personally formulated by him, which was of great significance to him.

If he can take out the US Pacific Fleet ahead of schedule, then the Combined Fleet will be able to control sea supremacy in the western Pacific for a considerable period of time.

With sea supremacy, he can calmly occupy the selected islands, complete Japan's strategic deployment, and wait for the United States to counterattack.

As long as the United States is dragged into a protracted war, the United States, which has not been able to attack for a long time, will become war-weary, and will face the attack of Germany and Japan.

In that case, the United States could only choose a humiliating peace, and Japan once again gambled to win the battle of national fortunes!

The only thing that worries Yamamoto Isoroku is that his family knows about his own family - the first two times he gambled on the fortunes of the country, and the opponent was a lonely empire that had been sick for a long time, but this time it was a powerful United States.

In contrast, the decaying Manchu Qing and the dilapidated Tsarist Russia both belonged to the kind of opponents who had no ability to sustain themselves.

This time, however, the United States is much stronger and has a much greater ability to resist attacks. Whether he could rely on a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor to get his wish, Yamamoto Isoroku himself did not know.

"I heard that there has been a breakthrough in the modification of torpedoes?" The general looked at Fifty-six Yamamoto with a smile on his face and asked.

"Yes, we improved the torpedo, added a wooden tail rudder to the back of the torpedo!" When it came to this incident, Yamamoto Fifty-six could not hide the smugness on his face.

After the modification of Japanese engineers, the Japanese torpedo with wooden tail rudders was added, and the water depth was much lower than the design index.

It was precisely because of this successful improvement that Japan was sure that in the shallow waters inside Pearl Harbor, an air-dropped torpedo would be used to attack.

With these two technological breakthroughs, Yamamoto Isoroku felt that he was almost more than seventy percent sure of a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.

This is a war, and for war, with more than seventy percent certainty, it is definitely worth trying.

"Although it is a very dangerous thing to attack the United States, I am still willing to try for the sake of the Japanese Empire." Yamamoto Fifty-six sat in his place, looked at the general in front of him, and spoke.

"Then, the lower official is here, I wish you a successful start and success!" The general bent down again, bowed his head and blessed.

"Thank you, the navy is drawing troops from the corresponding areas, and this time I will personally lead the team and implement the plan!" Yamamoto Fifty-six also bowed his head and spoke.

Speaking of this, Yamamoto glanced at the other party: "As long as this time we win...... You, as well as General Nagumo, will be forever remembered by the Empire of Japan for this action! ”
