"It must be said that your appearance has caused a major deviation in the overall situation. Of course, it also means greater opportunities. Hu Yuexin said, "In fact, having guidance from future comrades does not necessarily make things simpler, but more complicated, for example, who would have predicted that the Soviet Union would collapse without an external war." Hey......"

"There is no one-size-fits-all approach to the rejuvenation of the motherland."

"Since we talked about Vietnam, Comrade Deng Xuan District, the general secretary of the Workers' Party of Vietnam, I have a relationship, the Chinese language is good, because he admires the 25,000-mile Long March, he changed his name to the Long March. We are not familiar with Comrade Le Duan of the current underground guerrillas, and if you want to arm the Vietnamese guerrillas, you naturally have to deal with him. According to the Vietnamese comrades, they are also divided into the southern faction and the northern faction, and there are some intertwined and complicated relations in personnel, but in short, historically, the northern faction has been closer to us. It is difficult for us or the Comintern to figure out what is going on inside them, so we still need Comrade Ho Chi Minh to coordinate many things. Of course, we need to be very careful and do not take it for granted, knowing that a military victory may not save political naivety. ”

"Yes, we will pay attention to these aspects. By the way, Mr. Hu, when will Lu Qingshan arrive? ”

"I came back from Europe and didn't have time to go to Yunnan to meet him, that would be too dangerous. But as far as I know, he's almost there. Maybe it's already in Yunnan......" Hu Yuexin paused, "I suddenly had an idea, maybe I could ask him to transfer to Liuzhou to help our comrades there rescue Ho Chi Minh, so that in the long run, we can establish a personal relationship between you and the Vietnamese comrades." ”

"Well, I think it's doable."

"Okay, after I return, I will make arrangements for Lu Thanh Son to appear as Comrade Ho Chi Minh's savior, which may play a role in opening up the situation."

At Bhiburi Airport in Thailand, Makino had just had a big quarrel with Onishi, and he severely accused Onishi of not using guided weapons cautiously according to his own intentions, which may lead to the early exposure of weapon performance.

Makino has long since ceased to be the gentle and frugal engineer he had just come to this era, and now he has become irritable and stern in nature, always putting great pressure on others.

Onishi left in a huff, and now Makino sat alone in the movie screening room, analyzing the results of the battle from the footage he had taken, and the pilot used a 16mm camera to shoot the *turn and fly towards the British battleship from the air. The footage of the shot is blurry and flickering, and you can't see the scene of *hitting the target, but you can see the huge flash of light and smoke after *hitting.

This scene finally made him feel a little relieved,* after all, it was effective, he knew that Onishi would never be scolded by himself, and tomorrow morning, he would still send planes carrying these weapons to launch a desperate attack on the British fleet. The command here is not in Makino's hands, and he can't interfere with Onishi's command, but now it seems that these weapons are about to be used.

He didn't care much about strategic issues, but the significance of annihilating the British fleet was not only about the navy, but also about the retreat of the 70,000 Japanese troops trapped in Rangoon, and these 70,000 Japanese troops might affect the overall situation. Anyway, I can only let Onishi give it a try. The problems he is facing now are not something that can be completed according to the plan, changes are always faster than planned, and he also realizes that the hateful time-traveler Chu Tingchang may advance the time of Japan's defeat.

The problems ahead are summarized at Makino's hand, and the biggest problem is that the black smoke is too obvious. The second is that it does not have the ability to attack at night. Regarding the first point, he has nothing to do, the original impulse engines supplied by Germany, even if they use low-grade fuel, the smoke is not so serious, and this will have to wait for the industrial capacity to increase.

As for the second point, it is the part he has been thinking about recently, and it is also the reason why he doesn't want Onishi to use this kind of * in advance, he wants to build everything completely and then put it into war, because once a weapon is put into use, the other party will start to collect relevant intelligence and try to adapt it technically, so he is not willing to put the immature plan into actual combat, so as to let the opponent start to explore the corresponding strategy in advance, and the military is always impatient.

The current launch platform is a bomber, using its own radar to find the target, while the non-airborne radar is at a longer distance, guiding the target, which can be technically said to be putting the cart before the horse, and also wasting the range. The new resonator magnetron is being produced on a small scale in the local area, and although the drawings on the Kasuga Maru are used, the current yield rate is not enough to play any role, but Makino, as a future person who has mastered the history of technological development, knows that the crux of the problem is there, and a new dust-free workshop is being built in the Hitachi Industrial Zone, and I believe that the ratio of good products will increase rapidly. Then, the next step can be developed in a blowout.

The new radar has been designed by genius researchers at Imperial University with reference to the drawings of the Kasuga Maru, and it is a centimeter-wave radar that can at least bridge the gap in Japanese electronics technology in this era. This step crosses over the past and can be quickly deployed on platforms such as warships and aircraft, which is fundamental to solving the problem of night warfare. Now it can be said that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. Whether it is the development of radar magnetron or transistor, it is in full swing, but it is not yet harvest time, it will be carried out in a few days, and the secret salvage of Kasuga Maru for the first time this year, he has the lowest hope for the battle between Onishi or Ishihara and others, and the battle here is that at least the submarine that can be dragged by the Chinese will not let her fall into the East China Sea and make trouble. He was very sure that last year's salvage ship was crashed, and it must have been the work of the submarine, and there is no such coincidence in the world.

In the briefing room, not far from Makino, Onishi was working with the pilots on the next day's offensive strategy, and it was clear that the British main fleet had arrived, as the pilots witnessed the appearance of Sea Fire fighters marked by different squadrons in the air. So Onishi decided to go big.

"If you go out in the morning, it's all or nothing." Onishi looked around sternly, "Since it has been proven today that our weapons are effective, we are going to shoot out all the secret weapons and let the Eastern Fleet all be buried at the bottom of the sea." ”

"What if these mysterious weapons come out of nowhere?" A pilot asked.

"If it is light, it will continue to be made in China. We will soon have thousands of these weapons, each of which can destroy an enemy warship. Come to think of it, we have no chance of losing the war. ”

The pilots, all of them stuck out their tongues, they couldn't believe such a fact, but a few of them did see something that was dragging black smoke to turn yesterday and hit a very fast British destroyer.

"We are at the crossroads of victory, you are all witnesses, it is difficult for Westerners to understand the ancient wisdom of the Japanese, they ridicule us as a monkey people who can only imitate, but we will prove with new weapons that they do not have yet that we are more creative than them."

Onishi boasted unashamedly, of course he knew that the matter of the traverser could not be mentioned, anyway, it was morale-boosting, how could he do it without bragging.

"It was so decided, before dawn, all troops were on standby at the airfield, waiting for reconnaissance intelligence on the island of Andaman Island. And then...... Strike together. ”

He was like a gambler who was confident that he would win, and he bet all his bets, and what Makino had just scolded him had already turned a deaf ear. He also didn't want to deal with Makino, Makino's rigidity and cowardice, he had long understood that war is gambling, and those who can't accept this can't adapt to war.

Navy reconnaissance planes on the island of Andaman took off two hours before dawn to look for targets in order to strike first. During the night, the British carried out several shelling of the airfields on the island, revealing their approximate location, and about a dozen 15-inch shells fell on the island, which is clear evidence that the war-weariness was nearby. But before the wee hours of the morning, the British fleet had left and no one knew when they would carry out the landing operation. The defenders of all the islands of the Andaman archipelago combined, less than a thousand people.

Japanese reconnaissance planes, which had taken off in advance, spotted several British transport ships 150 nautical miles south of Rangoon, apparently as a sign of a landing on the Andaman Army.

The ship was loaded with the 77th Brigade of Wingate. They set out from Kolkata and were preparing to land at the Andaman level.

The Navy is not yet able to provide sufficient air and sea support, but the landing fleet is already impatiently approaching. Because Churchill believed that at such an important moment of imperial decency, the Andaman Islands must be captured immediately, so as not to make the Americans look down on the British Empire, and he did not want Chiang Kai-shek to weigh himself down at the upcoming Cairo Conference. In terms of intelligence, of course, it was confirmed that there were very few Japanese troops on the island, and they were preparing to run, which seemed to be a strategically valuable, but not difficult to achieve.

Onishi did not find the main fleet of the British army in the morning, only the transport fleet, which was inevitably a little frustrated, but the main fleet must not be too far from these troop transport fleets.

He ordered the planes to take off as originally planned and go straight to the target, and if the enemy's main fleet was discovered in the middle of the way, the air commander would adjust the target on his own, and if the target was not found, he would directly attack the enemy's transport fleet. Of course, he imposed some restrictions on attack aircraft carrying guided weapons, restricting pilots from firing at low-value targets, and in the worst case bringing weapons back.

Sommerville was a little apprehensive about today's battle, and although he had proposed the attack on the Andaman Island, he had received some reports yesterday that frightened him, including the sighting of a small Japanese rocket flying on its own towards the sunken destroyer USS Capper, and the strange attack on the aircraft carrier USS Unicorn*. Before he left, he was warned by the intelligence services that the Japanese might use a variety of extreme weapons, including guided weapons and human suicide weapons.

He ordered the fleet to intercept the fleet east of the convoy and wait for the enemy to hide, and yesterday the British judged that the fleet of small boats of Mikawa Gunichi was nearby, and that today there should be a possible naval and air battle.
