On the night of October 15, 1939, Kiel, Germany.

A brand-new Mercedes-Benz car drove into the city of Germany's High Seas Fleet home port at night, fluttering a Japanese plaster flag that looked a little dazzling in the moonlight. The car was followed by thirty-five Opel military trucks, thirty of which were full of Orientals in blue navy uniforms, and the remaining five were full of armed SS soldiers!

Five truckloads of blonde Germans were told that these yellow-skinned naval soldiers were Japanese and not the Chinese they knew, and that most of these Japanese had brain problems, but they did not come to Germany for treatment, but to die!

The duty of these Waffen-SS officers and men was to watch for the Führer, and these Japanese who came to send them to their deaths could not let them escape. Because, these Japanese were bought with the hard-earned money of the German people, and each of them was worth more than 200,000 Reichsmarks! And that's just the price of buying them from Japan, not including the cost of later living, training, supervision, and Ukrainian prostitutes, as well as the cost of holding funerals for some of them. In short, each of these Japanese madmen was very valuable, and if one of them ran away, it would be a great loss for Germany. However, fortunately, these Japanese devils have no intention of escaping, and the job of guarding them is relatively easy.

Today was the last day for the Waffen-SS to guard the Japanese, and the task would be considered a successful accomplishment as long as they were safely delivered to the port of Kiel and handed over to the German naval personnel. After entering the city of Kiel, there are more and more checkpoints of various kinds along the way. Navy, Army, Air Force, and the Waffen-SS itself. All the German sentries watched the Japanese devils in these trucks with wary eyes, and repeatedly called their superiors to ask about the authenticity of the special pass issued by Himmler, the leader of the Waffen-SS himself...... It made the liver Fu Kengoro Nakasa, who was sitting on the car, a little tired.

Kengoro Hetofu brought 1,000 Japanese devils to Germany to send him to death on an errand that was his father-in-law. That is, the arrangement of the Minister of the Navy, Eisuke Yamamoto. In Yamamoto's view, it will definitely be beneficial for his son-in-law to go to Germany to gild and make some friends in the German navy. In fact, at the same time as he accepted this task, he was exceptionally promoted to the rank of lieutenant, and he became a lieutenant in the Japanese Navy before he was 30 years old! It is estimated that he should be the youngest Nakasa in the Japanese Navy. However, Liver Fu has a hard time with this appointment, as a hidden agent. From the confidential post of the aviation staff officer of the Combined Fleet, he was suddenly thrown to Germany, thousands of miles away, and under the day and night surveillance of a group of Waffen-SS soldiers who were so serious that they could not play any role, and could only honestly train P-35 missile pilots for Hitler!

This P-35 missile is actually a special kind of aircraft, which was designed by the German company Alos in conjunction with two other companies. However, this special-purpose aircraft was not initially accepted by the Luftwaffe until the Japanese offered to help Germany develop a kamikaze aircraft, which was then redesigned to carry a pilot.

This was codenamed P-35. The weapon, which the Germans called the "missile", used an engine that Kengoro Hetofu had never seen before. And the way of taking off is also very peculiar, it is ejected from a kind of orbit-like generator. However, what shocked him the most was that the speed of this aircraft could reach more than 600 kilometers per hour! Faster than the fastest fighter right now. The range is about 400 kilometers and can carry 400 kg of high-performance explosives.

However, this peculiar engine, unheard-of take-off method, "ultra-high" speed, and difficult landing problems really made Kengoro Hetofu, who was responsible for training missile pilots, and his German partner, the German female pilot Hannah. Leitch had a lot of headaches. Several kamikaze fighters were killed, and in the end, the Luftwaffe approached several aircraft manufacturing companies to develop a training aircraft that simulated the flight of a P-35 manned missile. It can be regarded as a reluctance to solve the problem of training.

Although the training problem has been solved, the accompanying high training costs have become a difficult problem for the large-scale promotion of this manned missile. After several months of rigorous training, 765 of the 1,000 kamikaze members brought to Germany were killed, and the others were killed or injured in various training accidents. These 765 people have undergone at least hundreds of hours of rigorous training before they can skillfully fly this missile in combat! The cost of such training is much higher than that of training an average dive bomber pilot, almost as much as training a jet pilot, and letting them go on a one-off suicide mission is a loss-making deal.

The car had come to the Kiel military port, which was now heavily guarded by various German garrisons. Along the way, I don't know how many open posts and secret posts, German SS personnel on motorcycles shuttled around. More than a dozen radar stations have long been erected on the high ground around the military port. Although it was already night, there were still BF-110 night fighters hovering in the air.

Inside the military port, by the moonlight and the lights of the dock, Kengoro Hetofu saw an unprecedentedly large naval fleet! Among them, at least three Zhenyuan-class battleships, which were very familiar to Liver, were quietly docked at berths 1, 2 and 3 in the port of Kiel. Further afield, at berths 4 and 5, there are two giant aircraft carriers with a displacement of at least 50,000 tons! Kengoro Hetofu knew that it was the largest aircraft carrier in the world at the moment - Frederick the Great-class! And he also learned from Hannah. Leich learned that this aircraft carrier was completely refurbished after the Battle of the North Sea in November last year, removing unnecessary naval guns, expanding the hangar, and significantly increasing the number of carrier-based aircraft from the original 90 to 110! At the moment Germany has at least four such giant aircraft carriers, and the other two should also be in the port of Kiel, probably the berths are far away, and the liver did not find them.

The car in which he was traveling headed for the dock next to the two Frederick the Great-class aircraft carriers, followed by thirty-five Opel trucks. Five great ships, which looked similar in appearance to ordinary merchant ships, were lined up on the edge of the quay, and the ramps of the great ships had been lowered, and several German naval officers were on the side of the gangway of one of them, as if waiting for someone.

"Mr. Hefu, this is the Kiev-class missile cruiser I mentioned to you." Hannah, who was sitting next to Liver, pointed to the five giant wheels and said, "Although the name sounds scary. However, in fact, it is converted from a merchant ship with a displacement of about 15,000 tons, and each Kiev-class can carry 160 P-35 manned missiles, and two steam catapults are also installed on the deck, which can launch P-35 manned missiles at a rate of about one every three minutes. ”

As he spoke, the car had stopped steadily in front of the group of moral ** officials, the door opened, and Kengoro Hefu and Hannah got out of the car one after the other. The German ** officials on the opposite side also greeted one after another, and one of them was in his forties. The German naval colonel, who was stout and looked a bit like a Slav, walked up to Liver Fu and spoke fluent Japanese: "Liver Fu Nakasa, welcome to the Kiev missile cruiser, I am the captain of the Kiev von . Colonel Heinkel. After speaking, he introduced several German ** officers behind him to Hefu one by one, and it turned out that they were all captains of several other missile cruisers. This time, five missile cruisers and several escort light cruisers and destroyers will form a separate formation, codenamed Z Fleet. Colonel Henkel was the commander of this Z fleet.

After a few people exchanged a few words, Kengoro and Hannah. Leich followed Colonel Henkel to the Kiev, and the kamikaze fighters on the thirty trucks had already been organized into five brigades. Led by their respective commanders, under the arrangement of the German and Japanese ** officers. They boarded five missile cruisers and embarked on their own road of no return!

……

Just as Liver Fu and the others were boarding the ship, on the bridge of the aircraft carrier Frederick the Great, which was docked at the berth next to the Kiev, the commander of the German High Seas Fleet, Admiral Raeder, was holding a telescope to carefully observe the Japanese kamikaze.

"Hehe, I really see death as home! These Japanese are indeed a little different from the Chinese. Erik, don't you see? ”

Standing side by side with Raeder, Chief of Staff of the High Seas Fleet, Eric Brown. Rear Admiral Pei, who also served as an instructor at the Naval Academy and Naval University on Cheung Chau Island in China, heard Raeder's questions. He smiled faintly: "It is indeed different, according to the evaluation of the Chinese themselves, the Japanese nation is a very cohesive nation." Moreover, diligence, conscientiousness, and discipline may be the only weakness of the world's most self-sacrificing people. ”

"Oh, that's a great rating!" Raeder pursed his lips, put down the binoculars in his hand, and turned his head to look at his chief of staff, "Eric, then what do you think of the Chinese compared to them?" ”

Eric. Bei shrugged his shoulders and shook his head: "I have not had in-depth contact with the Japanese, so it is difficult to compare them with the Chinese, I can only tell you the results of the comparison made by the Chinese themselves." ”

"What do the Chinese themselves say?"

"They think that they are not as good as the Japanese, the Chinese are not very serious about doing things, their personalities are a little loose, and they are a little passable, they like to mess around, and they are also very dishonest, and they are more afraid of death and sound a bit like Italians." Eric. Bei replied with a smile.

"They don't think highly of themselves!" Raeder sneered and nodded, "I have also heard a lot of this kind of evaluation, almost all the German ** officials who came back from China are not very Chinese, but they have conquered half of the world in just a dozen years, which cannot but be said to be a miracle." ”

"There is indeed a miracle in it, but does Your Excellency Marshal remember what Napoleon once said about China?" Eric. Bei sighed softly and said with a bitter smile: "Although the Chinese have many shortcomings and do not seem to be as good as our Germanic people, they have a population of almost 650 million!" That large number of people would have been divided into more than a dozen countries in Europe, but they have been basically a unified whole for thousands of years. And the huge numerical superiority is enough to compensate for their various deficiencies in national character, and as long as their leadership is not divided, the country will be difficult to defeat. ”

He glanced at the five missile cruisers not far away and shook his head, "These Japanese are indeed very good, but they are destined to become a tragic nation, and perhaps our children and grandchildren can only learn some legends about Japan from history textbooks." ”

Raeder nodded, "It's a bit of a shame, for Japan. If the lion of China woke up a few decades earlier, maybe the Japanese could be friends with the Chinese, if it woke up more than ten years later, Japan might be able to get enough benefits from China to rise to become a real power......" He shook his head again and sighed: "In the future, I will also miss these brave Japanese who drove missiles and died with the US ** ship, uh, I also want to write a memoir about this epic battle." Record all this faithfully, so that future generations of Germany will always remember this wonderful nation that has been annihilated. ”

Just when the two of them sighed, the communications staff officer of the fleet suddenly shouted excitedly: "Your Excellency, commander, a telegram from the Berlin High Command!" The German Reich has officially declared war on the United States! In 10 minutes, the Führer will make a radio address to the nation! ”

……

"Onboard! Onboard! On-board !! ”

At the same time that Germany declared war on the United States, dozens of Japanese warships flying the flag of the rising sun on the Pacific Ocean about 280 nautical miles southeast of Luzon Island suddenly burst into earth-shaking cheers. Almost all the officers and men of the Japanese Navy temporarily put down their work and raised their arms and shouted at their respective posts!

Vice Admiral Inoue Narumi, commander of the 11th Air Fleet, who was standing on the bridge of the aircraft carrier Longchampi in the center of the Japanese ship formation, also showed a long-lost smile.

The 11th Air Fleet is composed of seven light aircraft carriers, including Longxiang, Ruifeng, Xiangfeng, Longfeng, Daying, Yunying, and Chongying, with a total of less than 200 carrier-based aircraft. 90% of them are kamikaze planes that have no return!

Together with the 10th Air Fleet under the command of Nagumo Tadaichi, they were the main force in this Japanese surprise attack, just like Nagumo's fleet. They also left Kure, the home port of the Japanese Combined Fleet, on the night of 13 October. After that, the fleet remained radio-silent, circled around the Pacific Ocean, and it took three days to reach its current position. According to the plan, they will reach the designated sea area near Luzon by 12 noon tomorrow and make all preparations for an attack. However, whether to start the war in the end or not will have to wait for the final order of the Combined Fleet!

Now, the secret order of the Combined Fleet has finally been transmitted to the two Japanese aircraft carrier groups that are sailing westward in the Pacific Ocean. And Lieutenant General Inoue Narumi was in the first place. This order was communicated to all the officers and men of the 11th Air Fleet, and a frenzied shout was ensued. Among them, the most excited are the 160 kamikaze fighters who will take on the mission of suicide attacks! The time has finally come to die for the country.

"Your Excellency, Commander. And again the order of the Combined Fleet. The cheers in the command center of the Longxiang had not yet subsided, and the communications staff officer waved the message in his hand and shouted at Inoue Narumi. Rear Admiral Arima, chief of staff of the 10th Air Fleet, took the telegram and looked at it a few times, and said to Inoue Narumi: "Commander, Chief Yamamoto has adjusted the operational deployment, and our 11th Air Fleet will be responsible for raiding the Zhanjiang Military Port of the Chinese Navy with the 22nd Air Force of the Philippines. Vice Admiral Nagumo's 10th Air Fleet and Vice Admiral Kusaki's 21st Air Force were in charge of operations in the South China Sea. ”

Speaking of this, Ma Zhengwen stopped and shook his head slightly.

"What, there are Ma Jun, do you have any ideas?"

Arima Masahiro frowned and nodded: "Commander, according to intelligence, the main force of the Chinese Navy's Western Fleet is now also in the South China Sea, which means that the number of aircraft carriers on the other side is as many as 14, and 11 of them are cruising in the South China Sea." And 11 large Chinese aircraft carriers have at least 700 carrier-based aircraft! For comparison, the 10th Air Fleet, with only 400 aircraft, is at a significant disadvantage...... Although they have more than 200 planes from the 21st Air Force to assist in the war, the Chinese side has air and naval air bases on Hainan Island, Brunei, Vietnam, and Khmer, and can deploy more than 500 fighters.

And the situation we are facing is similar, there are a large number of Chinese airfields around the Zhanjiang military port, and according to intelligence, there is also an aviation army deployed in Guangdong, Taiwan and other places in China. More than 1,500 combat aircraft are in possession! We and the 22nd Air Force will use a maximum of 380 aircraft......"

"Don't worry about Arima-kun," Inoue Narumi smiled faintly: "In this battle, we will take an undeclared surprise attack!" Moreover, Foreign Minister Matsuoka will also throw out the proposal of ceding Java Island and 'co-trusteeship' of Eastern Australia at his meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Zeng Qi tonight, and with such conditions, the Chinese will definitely relax their vigilance and think that they can surrender without a fight! When the time comes, we will be unprepared. ”

"But what if the other party doesn't let their guard down?" Arima Masamune still shook his head, expressing concern.

"That's nothing, the main thing we invested in this operation is kamikaze, and the fleet will adopt hit-and-run tactics...... The Zeros would also be back on top of the airfields in Luzon, and the aircraft carriers would not have to take them back. There was a kind of helplessness in Inoue's eyes: "There is only one chance for such a surprise attack, we concentrate our forces to attack the Zhanjiang military port, even if we annihilate the three aircraft carriers of the Chinese, we will not be able to reverse the disadvantage of the navy, and we will still lose if we continue to fight!" On the other hand, if we give up attacking Zhanjiang and go all-in on the South China Sea, there is no guarantee that we will be able to find the Chinese fleet...... What a dilemma indeed! ”
