360 ready
On the Kyushu Maru, Shu Ping squatted on the deck to sort out his belongings first, he turned on the tracker in his hand and sent out a signal, so that the frequency of the tracker on the warhead increased from 1 time a minute to 60 times, so that it was convenient for him to track the location of the signal.
They walked down the open loading port, which was stacked with a large amount of summer war supplies and canned food taken from the British, and it seemed that none of them were unloaded and ready to fight directly in New Guinea.
The two of them bobbed through a pile of objects, and finally, in an inconspicuous corner, saw the conical warhead again, it was still the same, but with some notes on it.
Lu Qingshan walked over a few steps and checked it with a flashlight, the note was scribbled by the Japanese military who counted the items, and one of them read: Send it to the Kokura Arsenal in Songtokyo for dismantling, and the British unidentified aviation ammunition. Another piece of paper reads, handled with care, may release toxic gases.
He did not remove the notes, but immediately began to disassemble them. He brought a full set of power tools, plus he dismantled it once last time, and he was simply familiar with it, and quickly disassembled the case. Then it was handed over to Shu Ping.
The initiation method has been determined to be a radio remote control method, so just install a battery on the * and then install a receiver on the relay, and Shuping expects to complete the work in 30 minutes. He didn't know if it would be able to explode to its maximum yield after such a change, but he could guarantee that it would definitely sound.
Lu Qingshan wore a night vision device and patrolled around, protecting Shu Ping, Shu Ping quickly assembled a one-person high lighting fixture on his side, and then placed a row of tools next to him, he worked like this, no matter how urgent he was, he had to follow the rules.
The boatswain had been hiding under the bow of the boat, waiting for the operation above to be over, and if a small patrol boat passed by, it would be possible to see him. However, the defense of Yingkou was indeed lax, and there were no small boats at all.
In the Rabaul Governor's Palace, Yamamoto finally decided to see Asano again.
He had just received a telegram from the Military Command Department, informing him that the decision to seize New Guinea had been made, but he hoped that the Navy would be able to find and destroy the remaining main force of the Pacific Fleet before this opportunity. According to spies near the Panama Canal, the U.S. military has moved the USS Wasp to the Pacific Ocean and may launch a counterattack in the short term.
At present, the excitement in the United States has put a lot of pressure on the Roosevelt administration, and the White House may launch a desperate counterattack. The Military Command Department asked the town guards and fleet commanders to study and judge the enemy's movements and make recommendations. Of course, he can't leave a treasure like Asano alone.
The meeting remained classified, and the venue was in Yamamoto's office, with only Yamamoto, Asano, and Onishi.
The opening part is mainly about Makino's discussion. This made Asano, who was full of strategy and anxiously waiting for advice, a little lost and dissatisfied.
"Asano-kun, you said last time that Makino who came with you is a technician?" Yamamoto asked straight to the point.
"Yes, he's an engineer, and he's engaged in aviation aircraft."
"Thanks to your advice, we got some technology for V1 unmanned missiles from the Germans in time, but the people from the air technology plant looked at the drawings and decided that the speed of such a vehicle would not exceed 650 kilometers per hour, if you add armor...... Or maybe there will be members," Yamamoto whimfully admitted, also thinking about manned special attack tactics, "and the speed will be lower." The range is also too short, so if you let Makino-kun make a change and increase the speed to more than 680 kilometers, it shouldn't be too difficult, right? ”
"I don't know about this, I don't understand technology after all. However, if the speed is not enough, there is no need to add armor, and it is a big deal to spend a few more ammunition, and you can still break through the enemy's anti-aircraft fire and sink the enemy ship. ”
"Having said that, young people's lives are precious after all, and I want to be able to achieve the same. A weapon worthy of sacrifice. ”
"I think Makino might have a solution, but he was the kind of person who grew up with anti-war education after the war, and he came for a different purpose than me. So he may not obey his fate. ”
"He should at least see the fait accompli as it is. There are many servicemen in the Navy who are not in favor of a war with the United States and Britain, but once the war has begun, they cannot retreat. ”
"Not necessarily. His ideas are different from ours. Let's not forget that he is also half American. ”
"Anyway, I'd love to meet him."
"At present, he is at Nobusuke Kishi's place, and he is being monitored by the special high school, and he can easily be beaten by a minor injury when he walks on the street with a mixed-race face." Onishi interjected.
"It's up to our navy to figure out how to convince him to go to the Air Arsenal to serve the country, Asano-kun, how do you verify your mention to Onishi that the enemy is likely to have known our password? Recently we have been maintaining radio silence, but it is really troublesome for fleet movements to have no communication at all. ”
"It's easy, we just need to send a correct message about the movement of troops and see if the enemy acts accordingly. Of course, the enemy will be suspicious and pretend to be a coincidence, and they don't want us to notice the problem and take steps to fix the password flaw in advance. But they are anxious to win back a city and will not do nothing. ”
"In this way, will there be a group of their own people who will be known to the enemy?" Onishi said.
"But in war, countries do it, and the role of ciphers is far more important than the victory of a battle."
"Well, that makes sense." Yamamoto kept nodding, "Onishi-kun, I see that the army is transporting troops from the mainland to the south, asking us to escort the ship, immediately activate the naval code, and mobilize a * team of the Second Fleet to go north to escort them." ”
"Commander, isn't that right, there are thousands of people on board."
"I thought about it. The cruiser will escort the transport ship to the Taiwan Strait, and then our destroyers will pick it up there. This route is completely under the protection of the land-based air forces of Taiwan and the Philippines, and if their aircraft carriers dare to come, they will be annihilated. If it's just a few submarines, I'm afraid it won't hurt. ”
Yamamoto's old spicy is far above Onishi, of course he also knows that if he doesn't get off the point, the enemy may not be willing to take the bait, as for using communication flaws to formulate a plan to fight back, this kind of thing naturally doesn't need Asano to spend too much time reminding him, he is a casino master, and he can get through all the tricks of deception.
In his vision, there will be a battle to replace the original Coral Sea, waiting for the patchwork Pacific Fleet, following the communication loopholes, to find its own door, if the Nimitz fleet does not dare to go to the South Pacific, New Guinea Solomon, Australia, and even New Zealand, Samoa and Fiji, will be included in the imperial territory in a short time.
"I must warn you, however, that the Americans are likely to launch a diversionary operation."
"Oh, Onishi's report said that they would let army bombers get on the aircraft carrier and attack Tokyo."
"Not bad. History has changed, though, and I can't guarantee it will happen. But the political need for Americans to strike back has not changed. ”
"Yes, I can't deploy mobile troops at the time you mentioned in this matter, and I must have accurate intelligence. At present, the focus is on the South Sea, and the only way to do this is to transfer the Tainan Air Force to the mainland for defense, and I will also send submarines to conduct reconnaissance in the Pacific Ocean. ”
"I agree with your judgment that we must strike the enemy with great precision and not waste troops and time."
Yingkou Port. It took Shuping 32 minutes to assemble it, and after the two worked together to put the shell on, it was finally time to evacuate. The Japanese patrol ship in the distance didn't finish half a circle, and the whole thing was simply handy.
Lu Qingshan deliberately went to the cockpit to take a look, the guy was still snoring, and he would wake up in an hour or two. Shu Ping sorted out the parts, climbed down from the soft ladder at the bow, and returned to 419 by the rubber boat. Then he checked it to make sure there were no mistakes, then quietly climbed down from the stern of the boat, and then jumped into the sea and swam towards 419.
Now the nuclear bomb on this ship is in a state where it can be detonated at any time, as long as the electronic mast on the drone or submarine sends a command from a safe distance. This is, of course, an irremediable last resort, and the only way for Cheng Dayang to stop losses, but when to use it remains to be studied.
419 continued to stay in the waters off Liaodong to monitor the ship. Early in the morning, the Japanese troops who came down from the railroad began to board the ship, and it seemed that the above was in a hurry, and Kyushu Maru did not have a holiday to call at the port at all, so it was to be put into use immediately.
419 overheard the communication from Kure Harbor, which used the Japanese cipher and explained the arrangements of the escort fleet. A total of four transport ships will carry the headquarters of the 1st Division, the main wing and artillery units to Lae. On the mainland coast, there will be 2 Zhanshou-class small boats to provide protection, and after crossing the Taiwan Strait, 2 Yanyang-class destroyers: Tianjin Feng and Xuefeng, will take over the rest of the voyage.
This is one of the few recent cases where the Japanese navy's code has been intercepted, as the Japanese navy is always careful to remain silent or vague (sending code words that only the receiver can understand). In short, the traces of the traverser's meddling are very obvious.
It seems that Kyushu Maru is not going to the mainland, which makes Cheng Dayang a little more relaxed in the time to detonate the ammunition, which makes him ignite some luck thoughts again, if Kyushu Maru is on the route to the South Seas, passing through some places with deeper water, he can still use a * to sink the ship, and then try to salvage the nuclear bomb and complete a complete ending of returning to Zhao. Knowing where the bomb is on board, he can even control the deflection to avoid the explosion damaging the bomb itself. However, the political commissar was not optimistic about Cheng Dayang's idea, and from a strategic height, he had a premonition that such a beginning might be inevitable, and to a certain extent, the development of the situation made the significance of this detonation not only to make up for previous mistakes, but to thwart the enemy's despicable conspiracy to stand at the height of history. If this conspiracy succeeds, the consequences will be unimaginable, and it will indeed deserve the use of strategic weapons. Just like a cheater at the poker table, you should cut off the hand from which he stole if necessary.
And the commissar further believes that this will most likely not be the last. As soon as this example is opened, it is likely to carry on the past and forge ahead into the future.
Sometimes, he wonders, why did the superiors send a strategic nuclear submarine to carry out such a task in the first place? Obviously, the use of nuclear force is also being considered. To test the will and quality of a soldier, it is not necessarily just to see whether you dare to face death, but sometimes, it is likely to be to see whether you dare to carry it.
