Chapter 843: The Two-Headed Snake

If Japan's self-righteousness and gambling psychology have a market at the top of the hierarchy, it provides a "theoretical" feasibility for Japan's next actions. Then the "staff of the gods" within the Japanese military circles provided the "practical" operational capabilities for the next operation!

Once in Xu Jie's plane, there was a place called Tieba, which rated one of the worst matches in World War II. That is the counterintelligence of the French generals plus the Japanese staff officers and the Italian soldiers and schoolmasters. The Japanese staff officers can definitely be on the list, and there is absolutely something "extraordinary". The staff officers of other countries help the commander-in-chief formulate a battle plan, but the Japanese staff officer asks the commander-in-chief to follow his own plan! We will further carry forward the lower grams in the Japanese military circles! And sometimes it's not just the army that pits, but even the navy!

For example, the well-known 918 incident was picked up by Ishihara Waner, Itachi Seisishiro, Hanaya Masa, and a few others, and they didn't even tell the commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army. As a result, the Japanese General Staff Headquarters was shocked by this incident, and sent Miji Kenkawa, deputy director of the War Department, to organize the adventurous behavior of this group of staff officers. As a result, as soon as this guy arrived in the Northeast, he was put down by the wine and meat cannonballs of this group of staff officers! Also thanks to the soft persimmon that Japan softened this time, when Kenkawa Miji woke up, the Kwantung Army was counting the spoils.

Well, it's good to be able to win, and it's true to get benefits, so not only did Ishihara Wan'er's group of guys not receive punishment, but they were promoted, for example, Ishihara Wan'er became a big Zuo, and he became the chief of the Operations Department of the Staff Headquarters, which is not good. In the eyes of some Japanese, this can be described as a shortcut to promotion, fortune and fame. As a result, the Japanese staff officers became more and more emboldened! Here I have to mention a guy named Qian Zhengxin.

This guy probably doesn't find it fun to fight warlords. The other party is too weak and has no sense of accomplishment. So he turned his attention to the Soviet Union to the north. This guy actively promoted and planned the 77 Incident in 1937. I didn't think it was too enjoyable, and then in the Zhang Gufeng Incident that occurred in 1938, the Soviet Union suffered heavy losses on the battlefield due to various reasons such as the Great Purge. Let this bold and reckless staff officer think that he has found an opportunity. And in 1939. After returning to the Kwantung Army, Qian Zhengxin made this opportunity a reality.

This guy directly issued a "Manchurian and Mongolian Border Handling Outline" in the name of the commander of the Kwantung Army, encouraging the Japanese army to take the initiative to provoke the Soviet Union, but the matter became more and more troublesome, until the Battle of Nomenkan that shocked the world occurred later! This is not a strange thing, the most strange thing is that after this incident, the commanders of the Kwantung Army were all removed. As a result, this grandson just changed places! As a result, this staff officer became more and more emboldened, and even directly "ordered" Hyakutake Haruyoshi's 17th Army in the name of the emperor! It turned out to be nothing! From this point of view. Within the Japanese military circles, there are all kinds of soil for the development and growth of the lower grams!

This was the case in the previous historical plane, and this historical plane is still like this. At a time when the Japanese top brass thought that the conflict between China and the United States could be exploited, some people in the Japanese Admiralty were already preparing to plot how to provoke a conflict between the two great powers! However, there are still certain restrictions on wanting to act, that is, the current Japanese Navy is really not on the table. The Japanese fleet now had only surface warships and submarines below light cruisers. Needless to say, the former. Not at all. But the latter can be considered.

World War I anti-submarine warfare was a world-class problem, and even the worst submarine would still pose a huge threat to merchant ships. With the support of Shichiro Kataoka, director of the Naval Operations Department, and under the direct command of Sotaro Misu, Japan's submarine forces selected four of the best submarines to go to the South Seas. Their mission is to fish in troubled waters, waiting for an opportunity to attack the merchant ships and fleets of China and the United States! In order to lead to the conflict eventually turning into war!

The plan seemed simple, but it wasn't actually easy, although the British sold the Japanese a few good submarines. However, considering the attitude of the Chinese Republic, the range of these submarines is very limited. If you want to be active in the South Seas for a long time, you must have a supply ship to provide supplies. And Japan does not have special supply ships! So I had to make do with it. It's okay to be able to refuel, as for torpedoes? Don't think about it.

Just when the Huaxia and U.S. fleets had temporarily stopped increasing their troops, and the front was still confronting, the Japanese navy took action, and the four submarines were divided into two groups to attack the Huaxia and U.S. navies. This plan has been given a very vivid name, the two-headed snake! This two-headed snake will take a bite on each of the two giants, Huaxia and the United States, at the same time! Thus because of the final war! The Japanese Navy knew the danger of this operation, so all submarines were required to self-destruct rather than fall into the hands of the other side, and even not every member of the crew was prepared with poison, and after the operation officially began, all radio transceiver equipment would be destroyed. In case of radio detection by the opposing side, all resupply operations will be carried out at the predetermined sea area at the predetermined time.

To a certain extent, the Japanese are still very careful, they have reduced the channels of leakage as much as possible, and at the same time the timing is also very good, they chose the time when many conflicts broke out between the Chinese and the US Navy, both sides had auxiliary warships pulled back for repairs, and the anti-submarine capability was reduced, and at the same time, both sides also had fire, and it is very likely that because of a little conflict, it will eventually evolve into a war.

Although this time it was still the next time, but in the end, shortly after the fleet departed, Shichiro Kataoka told the Japanese government about this plan. At that time, he thought that if this matter came to pass, then forget it, and if it didn't work out, the Japanese government might as well be prepared to use it as a private act of "some officers" to appease the anger of the two powers. This is definitely a sure win in the eyes of Kataoka Shichiro, it is done, the two big countries have a big fight, Japan profits, if it loses, it has those junior officers who top the cylinder. Both Japan and himself will be advantaged. It's a good calculation to really play. But what about the facts? If it was really discovered, would this matter be so good? It doesn't really matter what you think yourself, the point is, what China and the United States think! Do you say that it is a private act, or a private act? Do China and the United States agree? Do you really think that you will be able to provoke these two Pacific powers in one sentence? What do you think?

And the Japanese government was really taken aback by Kataoka Shichiro's report, they just thought about it, but they didn't expect that someone would dare to do it! It's still so decisive! But now it's too late, the Navy submarines and camouflage supply ships have already run out of the city for thousands of kilometers, the operation has begun, and now there are no radios! It's impossible to pull it back!
