"Your Excellency Lieutenant General Nanyun died of suffocation due to an instant lack of oxygen. This is true of everyone on the ship, and it is not some gas bomb. ”

Yamamoto Isoroku got the autopsy report from the medical expert, and his heart was even more messy, terrible!

It took six days to tow a hull back to the Sasebo shipyard, and yes, the current Akagi aircraft carrier is purely a husk, and all that can be used is the hull, and everything else has been blown up.

As to why the enemy killed all the people, but did not directly blow up and sink the aircraft carrier Akagi, Yamamoto 56 was puzzled.

"Why is the enemy's target so accurate, who exactly leaked the whereabouts of Lieutenant General Nagumo Tadaichi?"

Yamamoto fifty-six locked himself in a dark room and didn't come out for three days.

Lieutenant General Nagumo Chunichi's jade shatter has become the best excuse for the government and the opposition to attack the Admiralty. At present, the Admiralty is facing an extremely difficult situation, and the "88th Fleet Plan" has also come to a critical point of life and death.

In three days, the "Lugou Bridge Incident", "Baoding Massacre", and "Southern Liaoning and South Manchurian Tragedy" were all linked and deduced, and finally combined with the "Akagi Tragedy", Yamamoto 56 finally found a vein:

"Judging from the various heavy incidents in the past year or so, every time the enemy makes a move, it happens to hit the most core part, and there are traitors in the upper echelons of the empire! It is necessary to do everything possible to find out the traitors and destroy the enemy's hidden spies. Otherwise, there will be no future for the Empire! ”

Nine days after the "Akagi Massacre", Yamamoto Isoroku gave His Majesty the Emperor a note: "The War Department and the Navy are fighting each other, and this is the beginning of the matter. In order to suppress each other, various forces will do everything they can, and even do not hesitate to sell the highest interests of the empire to foreign countries, thus destroying the overall strategy of the empire. ”

Weichen believes that first of all, we must carry out an anti-special hoe work across the country. At the same time, it is necessary for the top of the empire to carry out a major purge, and all scum that threatens the empire's development strategy must be completely eradicated. If this indecision continues, the empire will lose its last chance, and there will never be a future. ”

Combined with the analysis of several serious tragedies over the past year or so, Weichen believes that the "88th Fleet Plan" should not only not be delayed, but should be accelerated. We urgently need rubber and crude oil, whether it is Taiwan, North Korea, Manchuria, or North China, we do not have it. All these things are in South Asia, on the side of the Anglo-American colonies. ”

"Britain and the United States and other countries have jointly sanctioned us, and these things have become their killer weapon to choke our necks. Since they don't give it, we're going to take it ourselves. ”

"However, the transformation of aircraft carriers with old battleships, transport ships, has proven to be unworkable. Therefore, modern aircraft carriers such as the Yamato and Musashi must be put into practice immediately. ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six's submission directly offended the War Department, first of all, the Minister of War Sakagaki Seishiro was so angry that he was like thunder.

The resources of the little devils are limited, and if the development of the navy is prioritized, then the combat vehicles, artillery, and aircraft needed by the army will not be found. Once the power of the Navy rises in full force, it is likely that all the people in the War Department will disappear from the cabinet.

Because of this, Seishiro Sakagaki was not far behind, and finally at the next court meeting, he directly threw out "Army and navy, who is the pillar of the empire?" Such a proposition.

Prior to this, Seishiro Sakagaki had no confidence in speaking, because the army had one incident after another, and the generals who had lost more than a slap in the face.

But today is different!

Seishiro Sakagaki felt that he was talking, and his waist had never been so straight. The Admiralty's repeated emphasis on "conquering the world with new aircraft and giant ships" has become a big joke today.

Two aircraft carriers were sorted, one was completely destroyed, and the other lost 12 aircraft. The most important thing is the "Star of the Imperial Navy", Vice Admiral Nagumo Tadaichi is also loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!

You know, with the consumption of one aircraft carrier, the empire can equip 6 army divisions. That is, as soon as the Admiralty struck, it lost 6 divisions!

Seishiro Sakagaki finally emphasized: The facts before us show that if the navy is regarded as the pillar of the future of the empire, it is doomed to be hopeless!

If the construction plan of the "Yamato" and "Musashi" is carried out, it is better to directly arm the 20 army divisions and regiments, solve the problem of China in one fell swoop, and then advance southward, so as to achieve the strategic goal of "establishing a greater East Asia co-prosperity zone."

A purely national military strategic battle, because of the unexpected change of the aircraft carrier Akagi, finally evolved into a fierce struggle for power division and political power in the imperial court.

The initiator, Bai Shujie, never expected that because of his all-out attack, he actually found an "opportunity to show his talent" for Yamamoto Fifty-six, and also gave the Minister of War Sakagaki Seishiro an excuse to bite back, and at the same time, it also caused a more strict confrontation between the War Department and the Admiralty.

Of course, Bai Shujie didn't care about these things, and he didn't know that the two old dogs, Yamamoto Fifty-six and Sakagaki Seishiro, would bite each other because of this matter.

The commendation meeting must be held, because all the pilots who participated in the war this time have made great contributions. However, the confidence of the troops is overinflated, and that is not right, so Bai Shujie wants to cool down the troops:

"You won the first battle and broke the little devil's air blockade attempt, and this honor belongs to you. However, you must know that the opponents you meet today are not because they are not strong, but because the two aircraft carriers returned to the shipyard to replace weapons and fighters. ”

"In other words, the planes you shot down today are all things that the little devils are ready to scrap. To tell you the truth, the little devil will come out of the few fighter jets soon, and our current planes have no way to compete. A new aircraft that is now about to be put into battle is called the Type 99 Ship Crit Fighter, the model D3A. ”

"The aircraft is a two-seater, equipped with three 7.7mm machine guns, with a pylons for 250 kg of bombs under the belly and four pylons for 60 kg of bombs on both sides of the wings. The practical ceiling is 10,000 meters, and the maximum speed is 432 kilometers per hour. The maximum take-off weight is more than 4 tons, the net load is 1.5 tons, and the range is 2500 kilometers. ”

Bai Shujie finally said: "The aircraft carrier that was blown up by us is called the Akagi, and they were originally waiting for the Type 99 ship's crit plane. Luckily, we haven't handed over this new plane to them yet, otherwise it would have been hard to say what we would have been fighting this time. I hope that everyone will not be complacent, and that you must train hard to meet the challenges of the enemy at any time. ”

To be honest, Bai Shujie's basin of cold water was poured very timely.

Since the "77 Incident" last year, the little devil has expanded the war of aggression against China, and has been slapped several times by Bai Shujie in a row, which not only did not make the little devil restrain himself, but promoted the little devil to accelerate into a state of madness.

The Type 99 carrier-based crit fighter, which has now become the top priority of the little devils, is beginning to be delivered off the assembly line. However, because the new aircraft needs to go through a lot of brutal training, it has not yet formed combat effectiveness for the time being.

Because the little devil has not been idle in the past two years, he has made great progress in radio communication and bomb sights.

For example, the Type 99 carrier-based crit aircraft, its bomb load is not large, but the bomb delivery is accurate, and it is one of the carrier-based aircraft with the highest results in the attack on ships by the little devils during World War II.

Bai Shujie took the risk of landing on the aircraft carrier Akagi, not to show how bold he was. The point is that he wants to see with his own eyes what level the aircraft carrier that has just completed the so-called "modernization and refit" is, so as to infer the future development trend of the little devil.

Another point is that because he knows the trend of history, the little devil's communication technology, artillery sighting system, ranging side, fire control system, navigation compass, etc., broke through many technical barriers in 1937 and had a earth-shaking change.

Bai Shujie knows how complex and huge an aircraft carrier is. He did not hesitate to expose the new bombs in advance and suffocate all the enemies on the aircraft carrier, just to get the military and technical information of the little devils. Of course, in the end, after a small sacrifice, it was finally rewarded greatly.

This "small sacrifice" is that when a Type 97 heavy bomber landed on the deck, the "arresting cable" hung up the landing gear of the plane and fell into the sea, and two crew members died on the spot!

Although it was partially destroyed by incendiary bombs, the various instruments, equipment, and operating systems brought back from the aircraft carrier were still piled up into a mountain.

After Bai Shujie cooled down the aviation division, two of the 16 Type 96 carrier-based fighters captured were allocated for the training of the cadet brigade, and the other 14 were replaced with two 30mm guns and thoroughly maintained, and all of them were put into the cave hangar and sealed.

The absence of aircraft carriers now does not mean that there will be no aircraft carriers in the future. Although the range of the Type 96 carrier-based fighter is only 1200 kilometers, the ultimate model 96A5M4 is a very mature technology for the little devils, and as a primary fighter, it still has great practicality.

In the following days, the little devil did not continue to come over to harass him, and Bai Shujie began to put all the captured communication technology, gun sighting system, ranging sideways, fire control system, and navigation compass on the Feilong 201 cruiser (Tianlong light cruiser) for performance testing.

Fleet Commander Zhang Bingyang was even more like a treasure, and immediately adjusted the technical units of the detachment for assembly, and then began to test the offshore navigation.

The captured light cruiser Tenryu is also the flagship of the current detachment, the String Wyvern 201.

Standard displacement 3230 tons, full load displacement 4350 tons, ship-based heavy oil boiler ×8, ship-based coal heavy oil mixed boiler ×2, Braun-Kardex gear reduction turbine × 3, 10 boilers, 3-shaft propulsion, 51000 horsepower; 150 tons of coal and 920 tons of heavy oil; The maximum speed is 33 knots, and the maximum speed is 9100 km / 14 knots.

Because it has not been modernized by the little devils, all kinds of equipment on it are very old. Bai Shujie ordered Zhang Bingyang to dismantle all the things on the deck, leaving the bridge and chimney.

The original 80mm single-mounted anti-aircraft guns and 25mm twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns were cancelled, and 8 twin-mounted M36 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns and 4 DW30mm five-barreled phalanx were replaced; Its own anti-aircraft firepower has been strengthened, and combat effectiveness has been formed.

The original 140mm caliber single-mounted main gun was cancelled and replaced with a German triple 283mm SKC/34 naval gun, which was transported by Horst according to Bai Shujie's specified requirements, and the firing range was increased from the original 23 kilometers to 40 kilometers. It turned out that the position of the other three turrets became a five-barreled phalanx.

The triple 283mm SKC/34 naval gun has a total weight of 53 tons per gun, a swing weight of 750 tons, and an armor-piercing thickness of 340mm within 15 km.

Even if the weight of 4 140mm caliber single-mounted main guns was replaced with a turret, and Bai Shujie consulted Horst at the beginning, but the installation process still took a long time.

The first key was to cut the deck under the turret and build an automatic loader in the inner compartment. The second key is the balance of the cruiser after the rearmament.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
