Officially codenamed "Operation Jet-1," the plan that Hideki Tojo called the "Final Decisive Battle Plan" was a grand plan drawn up by Admiral Koga Mineichi and Vice Admiral Jizaburo Ozawa, commander of the First Mobile Fleet, and was fully supported by the Minister of the Navy, Marshal Isoroku Yamamoto.

Unlike the German General Staff, which on the other side of the globe gave up early on the decisive battle with the United States, the Japanese have not given up the illusion of inflicting heavy losses on the United States in several decisive naval battles in order to force it to sue for peace.

Not only did the army bosses, who knew little about the situation in the United States, think that Japan still has the ability to win a decisive victory, but even Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku, who is famous for his knowledge, now believes that the Japanese navy still has the strength to fight a decisive battle.

When the news of Germany's agreement to provide 84 Me264 long-range bombers reached Yamamoto's ears, he was inspecting the battleship Shinano, which had just been commissioned.

The battleship Shinano was the third ship of the Yamato-class battleships, which was historically converted into an aircraft carrier, but was unfortunately sunk by an American submarine on its maiden voyage...... It's basically a big joke.

And in this plane, because of the special steel that received German aid, and the battleship Yamato performed well in the battle for the Hawaiian Islands. Therefore, the Shinano and the Yamato-class No. 4 ship, the Kii, did not stop work, and all of them rushed to build it day and night. Now the Shinano is finally in service, and the battleship Kii will also begin sea trials in September, and it will be ready for service by the end of October.

In this way, the Japanese Navy will have four super battleships, including the Yamato, Musashi, Shinano, and Kii.

If there were to be a battleship battle in the Hawaiian Islands, Japan would have an absolute chance of winning!

In addition to the two Yamato-class battleships, the aircraft carrier "Taiho", which was highly anticipated by the Japanese Navy, was launched in January 1943 and is currently being outfitted intensively, and is estimated to be ready for service by the end of October 1943.

And this large aircraft carrier with a standard displacement of 29,300 tons and a full load displacement of 34,200 tons is also a trump card in the hands of the Japanese Navy, and it will also assume a great responsibility in the "Jie-1 operation" -- this aircraft carrier is the so-called "unsinkable aircraft carrier", with solid armor protection, which can approach the US fleet in wartime and provide a landing platform for fighters taking off from other aircraft carriers. In fact, it is the use of the "shuttle bombing" mode to increase the combat radius of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft group, which can put the Japanese aircraft carrier in a very safe position in the event of engagement.

The idea of designing and building the "Dafeng" aircraft carrier is actually to "protect the ship," which is completely contrary to the idea that the United States and Germany are now starting to treat the aircraft carrier as a consumable.

In addition to the "Taiho," the Japanese aircraft carriers "Akagi" and "Kaga" have been undergoing armor enhancement and modification at the Kuregungang Shipyard since May, laying an armored flight deck similar to that of the "Taiho," and installing flywheel catapults imported from Germany and 40mm Bofors antiaircraft guns (the replacement of many warships of the Japanese Combined Fleet with Bofors antiaircraft guns is a huge project, which cannot be accomplished overnight, and can only be refitted in stages and batches, and so far only a small number of ships have completed the refit). According to the plan, the "Akagi" and "Kaga" will also be fully refitted by the end of 43.

At that time, the Japanese Combined Fleet will have 3 "unsinkable aircraft carriers" that can perform the mission of approaching the enemy fleet!

The number of "sunken aircraft carriers" that Japan has now increased to 16, namely "Shozuru", "Zuizuru", "Flying Eagle", "Hayabusa", "Okaka", "Cloud Eagle", "Okika", "Divine Eagle", "Sea Eagle", "Chitose", "Chiyoda", "Ryuho", "Xiangfeng", "Zuiho", "Ryuchichi" and "Fengxiang".

"13 battleships, 19 aircraft carriers...... With such a powerful fleet, the battle of Jet-1 is undoubtedly victorious. ”

Marshal Nagano Shuseki, the head of the Naval Command Department who inspected the Shinano with Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku, was also full of confidence in the "Jet-1 Operation".

He said to Yamamoto, "After this battle, the empire should be able to obtain a decent peace...... As long as the Hawaiian Islands can be preserved, our empire will be able to compete with the United States and Germany in the future and rank as the world's top three powers. ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six nodded and said with a smile: "Now that the deployment of the Hawaiian Islands has been completed, and the 300,000 brave men of the army and navy are waiting for each other, it depends on whether the army can use 84 long-range bombers to force the US Pacific Fleet out...... As long as the Americans launch a large-scale counterattack on the Hawaiian Islands, not only will they be able to achieve an unprecedented victory, but they will also be able to kill and injure a large number of US landing troops, perhaps killing hundreds of thousands of people, and the United States will no longer dare to speak of war! ”

The core of the "Jet-1 operation" is to kill and injure the US military! Not only would it be devastating to the US Pacific Fleet, but it would also have to annihilate the US landing force in large numbers -- according to Koga and Ozawa's plan, the US troops would be put on the Hawaiian Islands and used the strong fortifications and powerful Japanese Army there to inflict heavy casualties.

After the US troops landed on the mainland, the Japanese Combined Fleet suddenly counterattacked, and together with the Japanese shore-based planes, it severely damaged or even annihilated the main force of the US Pacific Fleet. In this way, the US landing force will be completely annihilated.

According to the estimates of Yamamoto Isoroku, Koga Mineichi, and Ozawa Jizaburo, the Americans living in prosperity and prosperity will inevitably be afraid of death, and if hundreds of thousands of casualties in World War I and the Pacific Fleet are lost, then there will inevitably be an anti-war wave in the United States, and the US Government will have to accept a humiliating peace!

"Comrades, the vastness and richness of Siberia beckons us, the new generation of Soviet youth, who, with your wise minds, industrious hands and iron will, will turn Siberia into the most beautiful homeland of GCISM in the world......"

Alexander. Isajevich. Solzhenitsyn is now sitting on the train to the distant Novosibirsk region, and once again his ears are ringing with the sweet voice of a beautiful woman who inspires the hearts of the Siberian builders -- Comrade Solzhenitsyn is now a glorious Siberian builder with a Novosibirsk city hukou in his pocket!

He, like all the young Soviet officers on this train, accepted the call of the Bolshevik Party in Building No. 2 on Lubyanka Square and wrote an application for the dedication of his life and future generations to the cause of GCISM and the construction of Siberia. Completely voluntarily went to Siberia to put down roots!

Well, Building 2 of Lubyanka Square is definitely a great place to do ideological work. Things that don't make sense elsewhere, when they get there, under the gaze of the anti-rebels, people's ideological realm immediately improves, and they all cry and shout that they want to go to Siberia to engage in construction.

Solzhenitsyn was no exception, and immediately developed his literary talent and wrote a moving application. I don't know if it was because the application was so well written, but when he left building 2 on Lubyanka Square, he also got a notice to go to Dzerzhinsky Specialized School for short-term training, so he walked two weeks later than others, and he also received a blue hat.

He was now also an honorable Cheka warrior, and was assigned to a nice-sounding unit, the Special Division of the Novosibirsk Branch of the USSR Institute of Physics. Although the situation in the Soviet Union is very bad, the special department of a scientific research institute is always a more leisurely and comfortable place, even if it is far away in Siberia.

Just when Solzhenitsyn sat on the train to the east with a relaxed mood, imagining his relaxed and comfortable life in the future. His future superior, Zavinia Kimjong, head of the 9th Directorate of the NKVD, and Kurchatov, director of the Novosibirsk branch of the Institute of Physics, were summoned by Beria, who was in charge of the Soviet nuclear bomb project, in his office in Building 2 on Lubyanka Square.

The desk in front of Beria was piled up with document bags with the word "Top Secret" on the covers, which contained top-secret information about the Manhattan Project stolen from the United States by the Special Military-Technical Reconnaissance Department controlled by Beria!

In the absence of a large number of Jewish scientists from Europe, the Manhattan Project in the United States progressed much slower than it has historically. However, in the summer of 1943, the Manhattan Project in the United States made some progress thanks to the absorption of some scientists who had fled from Britain and the fact that British intelligence had collected a lot of information about the German U Project.

Although the level of secrecy of the German U project is very high, the British intelligence services are not vegetarians, and they can still get many clues from the periphery of the U project, so as to infer the progress of the German U project and the general direction of research and development -- for example, the Germans obtained heavy water from Norway, purchased a large amount of uranium ore, are trying to find a method of isotope separation of uranium, and are suspected of building a large nuclear reactor, etc., all of which have been discovered by the British intelligence services.

As a result, the Americans can now be sure that a self-sustaining chain nuclear fission reaction is possible, and the Americans have conducted two unsuccessful reactor tests, but they have gained experience and valuable data.

In addition, American scientists Seaborg and Macmillan also discovered element 94 in an experiment to prepare transuranic elements, and also confirmed that element 94 can also trigger nuclear fission reactions - because they were busy with nuclear reactor experiments, Seaberg's discovery of plutonium was delayed by two years, while German scientists discovered element 94 plutonium as early as 1940.

The discovery and study of element 94, as well as the confirmation that Germany had made greater progress in nuclear fission research, made the Americans and Stalin feel a considerable urgency, so Stalin gave Beria an order in the summer of 1943: develop it at all costs! (To be continued.) )
