"What about our navy's capital ships?" Hirohito angrily pressed Yamamoto Fifty-six Ways.

The continuous bad news has made him lose the mood to continue ventriloquism.

In particular, Kyoto, a thousand-year-old capital, was annihilated by most of the Japanese troops in the surrounding area, and it was powerless to prevent China from entering Kyoto.

Hirohito once directly asked the base camp to order the surrounding troops to be loyal, but it was difficult for the surrounding troops to protect themselves, and they could not gather at all, so that Kyoto was finally instigated by a group of Japanese traitors, surrounded by a group of people in Japanese culture, history and even religion, following the example of Paris, France, and announced that Kyoto would be set up as an undefended city, which was directly taken over by the Chinese.

"We'll get her back in its entirety in the future!" A crowd of supporters shouted loud excuses, and many in the army echoed loudly.

"What are we going to fight back?" Hirohito listened, but all that was left was shame.

The attack on China caused the Japanese to lose more of their industrial base.

The Japanese only have two small oil fields in the northwest of the island, and their annual output is less than the daily output of one oil field in the United States, so there is no need to count on it. After cutting off the oil sources of Southeast Asia and Soviet Russia, it was only with the support of the Americans that he was able to slow down. But the Americans got stuck, only providing part of the fuel for the battle, and there is no need to think about it if they want to reserve and use it for other aspects of energy such as production.

This left the Japanese largely dependent on coal for electricity and industrial power.

But after Hokkaido and Kyushu were occupied by China, most of Japan's coal mines went away. The coal mine on the island is simply not enough for the steel mill to function.

However, after Kobe-Osaka, like Kitakyushu, fell into the hands of China, Japan's four major steel production bases were Kamaishi and Tokyo.

Although Kamaishi once erected Japan's first blast furnace, it is not the largest, like the steel mills in the Tokyo area.

With the help of the resources of Korea, Korea and China, the Yawata Iron and Steel Plant in Kitakyushu gathers 40% of Japan's steel and 25% of pig iron, plus the Kobe-Osaka Steel Zone. Much of Japan's steel capacity has been lost.

Of course, the lack of iron ore in Japan has made it impossible for Japan's steel mills to operate, and now they can only rely on smelting scrap steel. Make the final blow.

The Americans, who wanted to cut off Japan's industrial chain, refused to provide scrap steel, and the Japanese could only loot from their own homeland, and even the pots and pans of the people. There is a shortage of coal, and the Japanese, who are not yet environmentally conscious, are cutting down trees.

It's just that steel is produced in this way, but it can't be converted into weapons in time.

Only Tokyo was left of Japan's four major army arsenals, and the Kure Navy Arsenal, a major shipyard, as well as Tsurumai, the Mitsubishi Shipyard in Nagasaki, and Kobe Kawasaki Yasuen, fell into the hands of the Chinese, and even the bases of the Japanese aircraft industry, which were mainly concentrated in Tokyo, Nagoya, Kobe, and Osaka. Also went to three.

Relying on the Nakajima aircraft factory in Gunma Prefecture near Tokyo, it is simply impossible to cope with the large number of air defense needs of the Japanese, and there is an extreme shortage of Japanese pilots, even if they have enough fighters, they cannot support it with a group of rookies.

Less than one-third of the main forces of the army have been withdrawn, and most of them are concentrated on the Pacific coast, far from quenching their thirst.

At a time when neither army nor air power could be counted on, Hirohito could only count on their once most powerful navy.

With Meng Xiang's change in history. Yamamoto Fifty-six is still alive and kicking to this day. But no matter how good he is, he can't change the gap in strength. The Japanese Navy was still being beaten by the Americans with all their might, and they retreated step by step.

This Yamamoto Fifty-six had expected it, and he was prepared for failure. But let Huaxia also have no power to fight back, and the proud Yamamoto was extremely unconvinced.

Even with the defeat in the Battle of the East China Sea and the Battle of the Whale Sea, Yamamoto attributed it to the stupidity of the commander and the fact that the main fleet did not go out and went out of battle.

The main reason is that the impression of Huaxia before was too bad, and anyone who has seen the appearance of Huaxia in the past will be skeptical of the rise of Huaxia, and unless they have experienced it themselves, they will look at Huaxia with colored glasses.

As for the army, Yamamoto can still understand. The main reason is that there are many Chinese people, and as long as the equipment is solved, the Japanese army will be squeezed to death by relying on the sea of people.

But the Navy is different. The Centennial Navy is not a joke. Even if Huaxia bought a lot of warships, he was still a novice rookie.

Although Yamamoto already knew that the Huaxia Navy was strong and artillery, he was on guard, but he still looked down on it in his heart, and was determined to fight a big victory similar to the Great East Ditch in the First Sino-Japanese War to show everyone.

After all, Yamamoto lost face by the Americans in the post of commander-in-chief of the combined fleet. I really want to get it back from the head of the Chinese people. Moreover, the Japan-US peace talks need to drag out some scapegoats, and in addition to Hideki Tojo, the navy, which has brought huge losses to the Americans, also needs to drag out a few.

The Japanese top brass has been hesitant to punish Yamamoto and others proposed by the Americans. But when the time comes when the survival of Japan is at stake and the Americans need to pull it out, some people will squeeze out Yamamoto and his descendants for all kinds of high-sounding reasons and sacrifice them.

Even if Yamamoto doesn't think about himself, he needs to think about the many descendants, and there is only one way to make his position and that of his descendants more stable, and that is to win a battle.

There is no hope of gaining military success from the Americans, and the only way to target the Chinese is to take aim at the Chinese.

In order to achieve an absolute victory, Yamamoto has been planning carefully, even if the news of the loss of the front line has not interrupted his plan.

"Our fleet is ready for a decisive battle. Fight to win! Yamamoto replied to Hirohito without being humble or arrogant. The Japanese Navy was far less fanatical about the Imperial Family than the Army.

"I'm not asking about that. I'm asking you, where was our fleet when Osaka-Kobe fell? Where was our fleet when Hiroshima fell? Now why doesn't our fleet go and regain the lost land? Hirohito yelled.

The reason why Hirohito did not mince words about Yamamoto was, firstly, to beat the navy and deal with Huaxia harder, and on the other hand, to lay the foundation for the next step and the Americans to continue the next stage of peace talks.

However, if the region was caused by the Chinese attack from the air and land, the navy could not reach it, but this time the Chinese army landed near Hiroshima and caused the fall of Hiroshima, which did have something to do with the navy's failure to protect it in time.

But Yamamoto Fifty-six also suffers.

When the number of 420 mm caliber Pioneer guns in the Guanmen Strait increased to three, and many heavy artillery pieces followed, the Japanese had already rushed through the narrow Guanmen Strait into the Whale Sea in despair.

Yamamoto would never waste his fleet on competing with these three ultra-long-range and powerful cannons, and in order to pursue the most convincing victory, he chose to fight the Huaxia fleet on Kyushu Island, recapture the lost Sasebo and Nagasaki, and by the way, reseal the Korean Strait and cut off the nearest passage to Huaxia.

As a result, the main fleet returned by the Japanese, except for a small part that went to the Karutsu Strait to provide support, most of them were concentrated in the area of Kagoshima and the Ryukyu Islands, and the Japanese fleet from the Philippines was stationed on Okinawa Island and waited for the best opportunity. Unexpectedly, Huaxia's fleet suddenly rushed into the Seto Inland Sea from the Kanmon Strait, and together with the armored forces attacking on land and the airborne troops attacking from the air, the three-way army of land, sea and air attacked Hiroshima together.

With the help of the sub-bases of the Chinese army, coupled with the surprise attack of the airborne troops, where can the Japanese defend against it?

The red police buildings have sprung up like mushrooms to tear off their camouflage and erect them, providing the most direct weapon, logistical and firepower support for the airborne troops.

The lurking clones attacked directly and cooperated with the parachute troops, and with the assistance of Rhino and Grizzly tanks and aerial fighters, they first took control of the airfield and docks, followed by space troops and landing combat units.

Later, two Pioneer cannons were erected near Iwakuni and Kure, and when the red Itsukushima Shrine on Miyajima suddenly collapsed, and a Pioneer cannon with a huge barrel was erected, everything was beyond the control of the Japanese Navy.

Even if part of the battleships of the Japanese Navy hurriedly returned, it did not help. Even unlucky enough to take out a cruiser.

The power of the Pioneer cannon hastened the fall of Hiroshima. Except for a few important trophy targets that were demarcated, the rest of the place was left to the heavy attack of the vanguard cannons.

As soon as the cannon was fired, the map of Hiroshima, the military capital, was blank, representing the creation of a ruin. Five Japanese teams in a row were cleared by a single shot, and their ridiculous defensive line was completely blown away by the shock wave of the giant cannon alone. The remaining sporadic resistance was completely completed after the influx of the Chinese army.

"We can't compete with Huaxia's vanguard cannon!" Yamamoto Fifty-six, who had already seen the power of the Chinese pioneer cannon, could only retreat in front of the cannon.

But after Meng Xiang occupied air supremacy, he became addicted to the giant cannon.

First, two huge guns were erected near Oita, completely sealing the Toyo Strait, and cutting off the Japanese Navy's idea of entering the Seto Sea through the Bungo Waterway.

The Kii Waterway, another passage into the Seto Sea, was covered with mines by the Chinese army through the air, sea, and submarines, and was cut off by groups of Chinese fighters who had already made their homes at airports in Kobe and Osaka.

It is already very difficult to regain the lost territory by relying on the navy. Yamamoto could only pin his hopes on a decisive battle with the Huaxia Navy. (To be continued)
