Obviously, the pilot's testimony could not convince Tojo, and Nagano's deliberately ambiguous explanation was indispensable, and Nagano's attitude of riding on the wall could be regarded as mixing things up.

It's almost time, and it's Kagesa Zhenzhao's turn to come forward to explain this matter, he is different from Makino's situation, but the interrogation is not an arraignment, so he is still wearing a military uniform, and there is no need to escort, he sits in front of everyone, and he also carries some information.

He had figured it out these days, and if he wanted to convince a very stubborn person like Tojo, he had to use new weapons to induce him, even if he was elm-headed, he was still interested in new weapons.

Kagesa and Kishi Nobusuke secretly reconciled and got a letter from Einstein to Roosevelt that the intelligence department had just obtained in the last month, of course, the letter was written two years ago. The leak stemmed from a secret investigation into Einstein by the Bureau of Investigation (BOI) led by Edgar Hoover. German spies embedded in this agency photographed the original of the letter.

The letter was mentioned when Germany, as an ally of Japan, routinely informed Japan about the weapons plans of the Great Powers. After reading it, Kishi Nobusuke was deeply impressed, not only because Einstein's fame was there, but also because the words in the letter were quite convincing and made people feel that it was feasible. After all, Roosevelt was also a layman, and Einstein used his brains to convince him. And Makino was the first person in all of Japan to propose that it was necessary to work (more firmly than Einstein's diction), which easily shows that he came from the future.

Tojo read the letter twice, of course he knew that there was someone behind Kagesa Zhenzhao in order to get the information, but now seems to be the time to pursue this kind of thing. If it weren't for this small circle, the letter might have been sleeping in the filing cabinet of the intelligence services. Normally, the Cabinet Intelligence Bureau will automatically screen out intelligence reports that they find useful and related to military affairs, and filter out information that they find of little significance. The intelligence bureau is far more interested in the caliber of the main guns of the new American battleships than one is still on paper.

In his letter, Einstein tried to convince President Roosevelt that such a weapon was feasible, citing concerns about a German takeover of the Czech uranium mines, and Einstein listed the uranium mining areas of the time, pointing out that uranium mines in North America were inherently insufficient, while the Czech ones were better, and of course the best uranium mines in the Congo in Africa. The good taste of mineral deposits is naturally a huge advantage for later refining.

The letter mentions the level of theoretical research on fissile weapons in various countries up to 1939 and speculates that German research at the Royal Wilhelm Academy already has some advantage.

The letter even mentions that Einstein conceived the most effective use of this kind of * - sending a ship loaded with this kind of * into an enemy port, which, if detonated, could destroy everything around the port.

Obviously, Einstein did not have a specific concept of the size of this * at this stage.

The director of the Cabinet Intelligence Bureau, Shushi Ito, had already read the letter several times and felt that something was not good.

"Your Excellency, do you think the contents of this letter are true?" Tojo turned his head and asked Director Ito.

"It can't be confirmed yet, but yesterday the German embassy sent a new piece of information, the Americans secretly made a name for the Manhattan Project a few months ago, and it seems to have something to do with this super*."

"Are you sure this is the latest information?" Tojo was taken aback, and when he asked Kagesa a week ago, he mentioned the Manhattan Project, and he looked through Makino's confession and mentioned the Manhattan Project many times. But his intelligence chief said that the information had been sent by the Germans only yesterday.

The Japanese could only obtain information indirectly from Germany and the countries of Central and North America when it came to domestic information in the United States. Most of the Japanese in the United States were in concentration camps, so they were unable to collect information, and it can be said that there were very few sources of information. Does Kagesa really have the ability to be a prophet of the unknown? In fact, he first knew about Makino's gang when it was reported that they had known the date of the attack on Pearl Harbor in advance, and at that time he simply believed that it was the Japanese Communists who were plotting to overthrow the government.

"Kagesa-kun, what is the matter with the nuclear-powered submarine of unknown nationality that you mentioned more than once in your written statement?"

Nagano asked on the side.

"It's a submarine that uses the same power, and can hide under water forever. It is believed that Makino they came to this era on the day the sunken cruiser Naka; The battleship Exodus, which sank off the coast of Shanghai a month later, and the 1st Division that disappeared in the Philippine Trench, are all related to this submarine with unlimited power...... In addition, "

"You stop for a moment......" Tojo quickly interrupted Kagesa, he covered his bald head with his withered hands in painful thought, of course, his brain was almost frozen at the moment, Kagesa's big call had already made his brain all stop, and he was almost out of breath.

"Let me be quiet and think about it." Tojo waved his hand and asked Kagesa to go down.

"Prime Minister, what about that Makino? Is it an immediate arraignment? ”

"Slow down for a while, let the doctor come in and take my blood pressure, I'll take two pills first, and I'll talk about it in the afternoon."

Kagesa saluted and withdrew, today he could see that behind Tojo's usual tense and stinky face, there was a hidden weakness, it was obvious that among all the leaders of the warring parties, Tojo was the stupidest, he couldn't make an effective analysis in the face of a huge amount of information, but the current future of Japan was in the hands of this fool, it was really worrying.

On the battlefield in Burma, the 55th Division that attacked rashly was divided in the southeast mountains of Myitkyina, Zhou Youfu's tank rushed towards Myitkyina, in fact, it was just a false shot, he had to wait for supplies, ready for the next sortie, Chu Tingchang gave him the task of not attacking the fortified city defense, just waiting for the enemy to come out to cut off the back road.

Tao Mingzhang compressed the enemy step by step, and his shells fought for a day and a night, and 25,000 shells of various calibers went out like this. The Japanese were beaten and had no way to fight back.

Takeuchi sent death squads several times at night to take out the artillery positions of the Chinese army, but it was so easy. Tao Mingzhang lacks the aura of leading strange soldiers to intersperse battles, but he is a good hand at positional warfare, and his subordinates have solid basic skills and are good at building fortifications. Whether it is the system of trenches, the configuration of light and heavy weapons, and the clearing of the firing boundary. Everything is meticulous, which is also the embodiment of Tao Mingzhang's style in his 201st division.

In order to dispel the superstitious ideas that pervaded the 5th Army, he also proposed: "Only by sweating more in preparation for war can there be less bloodshed in wartime." The slogan was used to expel the dependence of the original immortal Guan Gong. His troops and Zhou Youfu complement each other well, and their essential styles are completely different.

The Japanese army has always thought that as a maritime people, they are born with better night vision, which is of course just some kind of self-deception. In essence, the Japanese army's advantage in night battles in the past also came from their style of daring to fight at night. Moreover, as soon as the Japanese army moved, the Chinese army was quiet, and their bright bayonets were easily exposed in the moonlight. Several times the troops who sneaked up were exposed in front of the machine-gun positions of the Chinese army. After a large number of flares fell, hundreds of Japanese troops were exposed to the open field with little cover, and then a one-sided slaughter ensued. After several squadrons were reimbursed, Takeuchi abandoned the night raid. He didn't dare to leave the hill to break through, he knew that the enemy's forces were not enough to fortify everywhere, but he knew that as soon as he left the mountain, he might be divided by the enemy's tanks again.

Whether it was an artillery battle, a night attack or a close-range white-knuckle battle, it used to be the advantage of the Japanese army, but in this day and night battle, all the Japanese army's three-plate axes failed. Takeuchi, who had nothing to do, had to pull down his old face and ask the 56th Division for help, originally he was aggressive to save the 56th Division, but now it was cut off in the middle, the whole army shrank on several hills, any exposure would lead to an artillery bombardment, and now there is only a way to let the friendly troops on the outside line rescue.

The use of mobile warfare to mobilize the enemy, lure out the enemy behind the fortified position, and then divide and eat them one by one is the true connotation of Chu Tingchang's strategy, as early as when he was the deputy captain of the submarine, he was already well versed in the respective advantages of movement and static. Now he finally got the battlefield he envisioned.

Sure enough, as soon as the main force of the 55th Division was dispatched, it was seen by American planes, and Zhou Youfu then left his original position, preparing to cut off his retreat. Although it moves with the enemy's actions, the speed of mechanization can completely achieve the last strike and first come.

American bombers came in droves and bombed the original fortifications of the 56th Division, and the 58th Division, which was besieged in Matsuyama, also broke through several times, which made Watanabe dare not send all the main forces, so he could only mobilize two wings to attack.

He, like Takeuchi, still did not understand the way the enemy was attacking, and acted even more blindly. If he figured out Chu Tingchang's playing style, sent sappers a few days in advance, and blew up a few sections of the highway connecting the two places, Zhou Youfu's interspersing ability would be reduced by half, and when Chu Tingchang formulated a plan, his flexibility would shrink by seventy.

Of course, Watanabe dared to come out, and he also had his judgment, he did not think that he would be attacked by the enemy's armored troops, his experience told him that the tank was a weapon that went all the way and broke all the way, and he estimated that after a few days, the enemy could still move less than 20 tanks, and it should not be a big threat.

Watanabe's analysis is partly correct: once Zhou Youfu's tank group is dispatched, even if it does not fight, five percent will fall behind every day, but it is usually a walking part of the failure, and if the repair troops and parts can keep up, the size of the battle group can always be maintained at the level of 60% of the total composition.

Zhou Youfu is an extremely smart person, he divided the battle damage and breakdowns into several categories, namely: can continue to fight, wait for repair in the rear, and disassemble and provide parts, so as to fully allocate the resources and time in his hands. Avoid those with minor faults, leave the battle for a long time, and never let those who are seriously injured and mistaken in repair value drag themselves down.

His set of operations research has little to do with his background as a repairman, and his main experience comes from the poker table.

The Yanagawa Search Wing, which was reconnoitring on the flanks of the 56th Division, saw from a distance the rapidly moving enemy tank group in the valley, and they were surprised to count at least 60 tanks and nearly the same number of half-tracks. They were galloping to their rear, and it was clear that they were going to repeat their old tricks.
