"I am Yamamoto Yu!" Yamamoto Yu said in a flat tone into the microphone.
Over there, the Prince of Black Mountain Fort sighed softly, "Prime Minister Yamamoto, my proposal is for long-term peace. Would you consider it?"
Yamamoto Yu said coldly: "Divide and rule, Japan will never rise again! Lawyer Qianxing, you studied law and you are indeed very thoughtful, but you underestimate the world."
The Prince of Black Mountain Castle was silent for a while, then said, "Rise? What is rise? What does the so-called prosperity in history have to do with civilians? The more prosperous the times are, the more corvee labor the civilians have to bear, and the harder their lives are! For Japan, a small country, it may not be impossible to develop by taking the path of peace and freedom. If you follow the Prime Minister's standards and want to dominate the military, you must start a war. For the people, a lifetime is only a few decades, and the lives of hundreds of millions of people are ruined by your ambition. Even if you win in the end, do you really think that the winners are the kings and the losers are the bandits? Will you become a great man? You have occupied the Northern Territory, can you really enslave the large tribes that have a larger population than your main ethnic group forever?"
Yamamoto Yu sneered: "Isn't it the winners who take it all? Lawyer Qianxing, don't you think you are the winner and are preaching to me? If you lose the battle in the Northern Territory, would you still talk to me so easily about peace and freedom?"
As he spoke, Yamamoto looked at the clock on the wall and put his hand on the microphone.
Defense Minister Inukai Jiro beside him smiled knowingly and whispered, "The airports in Laiona are refueling! There are ten airports in total, all running simultaneously."
Yamamoto Yu showed a triumphant smile on his face and said into the microphone: "Lawyer Qianxing, let's take a break for ten minutes and I will give you an answer."
The phone was not hung up, and someone covered the microphone with a soundproof glass cover.
Yamamoto looked at the ministers who participated in the call in the war room and smiled, "I think you can know some things now!" He said to Inukai Jiro, "Jiro, tell everyone."
Inukai Jiro made a gesture, and immediately several officers lifted the green cloth covering the sand table in the center of the operations room.
It is a miniature sand table of the entire Japan, with many red chess pieces inserted on it.
Inukai Jiro said loudly: "Gentlemen, since our army was attacked by the Montenegrin Air Force in March last year, the Prime Minister and the military have been planning a counterattack for more than a year. It is about to begin! Tonight, we will officially declare war on the Montenegrin Principality and drive it out of our territory completely!"
He pointed at the red flag in the sand table with his baton, "We will also completely wipe out the Ashikaga supporters who have colluded with the Montenegrin Principality and committed treason. The Odawara Corps in the right of the capital will be completely disarmed. In Honshu, our First Division has been deployed, and the armored forces will march straight in. If the Honshu Division resists, it will suffer a devastating blow..."
When Taro Ishii heard this, he felt dizzy. He was from the Ishii family in Honshu.
No wonder the call with the Prince of Montenegro had to be held in the war room. It turned out that today’s call day was the day of declaration of war. The Principality of Montenegro would never have thought of this.
But? Why did the Guanxi Army risk everything to start a war? Can it really defeat the Principality of Montenegro
But no matter how the war with the Principality of Montenegro goes, the Honshu Division is likely to suffer a devastating blow in a surprise attack.
Because the 1st and 2nd Divisions are the most powerful legions in the kingdom, both come from Kansai and are equipped with a large number of armored units.
The Honshu Division is finished.
Hmm? Should I try to pass the message on myself
Taro Ishii gradually came back to his senses, but heard Jiro Inukai saying, "We will have air support in this war. Our most conservative estimate is that the air force of the Principality of Montenegro will be greatly weakened. In the short term, we will have air supremacy!"
Not only Taro Ishii, but all the ministers were surprised.
Inukai Jiro smiled and said, "We have secretly purchased fighter planes. At this time, they should be refueled at the airport in Leona and take off immediately. We are going to destroy the Montenegrin air bases in Pearl Island and Xianquan!"
"From now on, I'm sorry to inconvenience you officers. Before our air force ends the airstrike, you must stay in the operations room and not contact the outside world!"
Taro Ishii smiled bitterly in his heart. Yes, even if he wanted to, how could he possibly have the chance to leak the secret
Looking around, in fact, those who were summoned to participate in the call with Prince of Montenegro today, except Inukai Jiro, were all civil officials. Although there were cabinet members, such as the Minister of Transport, they obviously did not belong to Prime Minister Yamamoto's core power circle.
Yamamoto Yu looked at them and smiled. These people were not from Kansai, and some of them were actually sympathizers of the Ashikaga faction.
At this moment, there was shock and fear on their faces. They no longer had the ambiguous look they had when old man Ashikaga suddenly made a public statement in Okuetsu, dropping a bombshell in the Japanese political circles.
Yamamoto Yu straightened his chest and slowly walked to the phone. An officer hurriedly removed the glass cover from the microphone.
Taro Ishii took two steps forward. After all, it was his responsibility to confirm with the Montenegrin side that the communication was restored. However, he was stopped by an officer.
Yamamoto Yu picked up the microphone and said with a smile, "Is lawyer Qian Xing here?"
The magnetic and charming voice of Prince of Black Mountain Castle came from the microphone, "It's me. I've been waiting for Prime Minister Yamamoto."
Yamamoto Yu smiled and said, "Lawyer Qianxing, let me make a suggestion. The Principality of Montenegro will no longer interfere in the internal affairs of Japan, and cede the Haixi region in the northern region of the continent to Japan. How about this to achieve permanent peace?"
Prince Black Mountain Castle was silent for a while, then smiled, "Prime Minister Yamamoto, your proposal is a bit whimsical. Is it because of the Prime Minister's whimsical plan to bomb our Principality's air base? Do you think it will succeed?"
"What?" Yamamoto's head buzzed, "What did you say?"
"I mean, the Prime Minister's ideas are always so fantastic..."
Before the Prince of Black Mountain Castle finished speaking, Yamamoto Yu had already dropped the microphone on the table and turned to Inukai Jiro and shouted, "Contact Tosugi and Raiona State immediately to see if there are any problems?!"
When Inukai Jiro saw the Prime Minister's sudden change of expression and stern voice, he immediately hurriedly made a phone call and sent a telegram.
Yamamoto Yu paced back and forth, frowning and thinking, where could the mistake have gone
The plan to establish an air force began when the sea route was bombed by the Principality of Montenegro more than a year ago. The company chose to fund the Soya Aviation Company, which had the idea of using aircraft for war purposes, and provided expedited research and development funds. Before the company had a model aircraft, it recruited and sent pilots for training. The information about these pilots was kept secret from their families, and some of the pilots already had experience in flying propeller aircraft.
Of course, all of this was done in strict confidentiality between the Ueto Group and Soya Aviation Company.
Today is the day to receive fighter jets. I am taking a risk and preparing to launch a surprise bombing on Montenegro's airports at Pearl Island and Xianquan on the way back to Japan. The most important thing, of course, is to destroy the fighter jets parked at the two airports.
It is necessary to refuel twice when returning to Japan from the base of Soya Aviation Company.
The first time I refueled, I was in Hanzhou and Xinlaitonzhou, both of which were neutral autonomous states, but in fact they were more or less under the influence of the Second Prince's Sonia Kingdom.
There were two hundred fighter planes, one hundred of which refueled in Hanzhou and one hundred in Xinlaitonzhou. They arrived at the two airports in ten batches, with ten fighter planes in each batch.
The second time I refueled was in Leona.
It is the southeasternmost coastal state in the Eastern Alliance and is very close to Japan.
Most importantly, Lewisham's governor, Hamilton, was an extreme Westernist and was said to have close ties with the White Rose Organization.
It has always been the member of the Eastern Alliance that is most opposed to the Principality of Montenegro entering the alliance.
It cost almost nothing for the Ueto Group to contact him and obtain his support. Hamilton even opened more than a dozen large and small airports in the state to accept refueling by the Japanese Air Force. In this way, the air force fleet can take off from various airports in Hamilton State at the same time, forming a cluster combat force to raid the air force base of the Principality of Montenegro.
Only Hamilton and a few of his close associates knew the inside story.
To airport staff, the planes were even painted with the emblem of the Principality of Montenegro.
Therefore, even if airport staff saw these planes leaking information to the outside world, they would think they were fighter jets of the Principality of Montenegro. By the time this news got out and attracted the attention of the Montenegrins to check where these planes came from, the air force base would have been bombed before they could figure it out.
All of this was planned very carefully, so how did Lu Qianxing know this news
It seems that the plan to bomb the Montenegrin Air Force Base has to be suspended, and the route needs to be changed to avoid being intercepted by the Montenegrin Air Force.
After all, the Montenegrin Air Force has actual combat experience and is well prepared. If an air battle occurs with our own air force, I am afraid that the Montenegrin Air Force will still have the advantage.
"No news yet?" Yamamoto Yu felt that time was passing too slowly. He paced back and forth, hurriedly urging Inukai Jiro.
Taro Ishii and others gathered in a corner of the operations room, looking at each other, not knowing what had happened. But seeing Prime Minister Yamamoto Yu's face turned pale, no one wanted to get into trouble at this time.
"Prime Minister, we received a reply from the State of Ona, saying that our fleet has been fully refueled and has all taken off." Inukai Jiro took a telegram that had just been delivered, looked at the content on it, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Yamamoto felt a little relieved.
At this time, another officer hurried in. Inukai Jiro took the telegram from his hand and his face changed immediately.
"What's wrong?" Yamamoto Yu's heart sank.
Inukai Jiro delivered the telegram with a look of fear on his face.
It was a telegram sent by the Shanghu Group's representative office in the East China Sea, saying that they had just received a notice from the bailiff of the First Circuit Court that they had carried out the first batch of seizures of the Shanghu Group's assets. It was found that in Hanzhou and Xinlaitonzhou, a total of 200 aircraft purchased by the Shanghu Group were seized by the bailiffs and have been transferred to Huaxia Technology Company. They are waiting for the auction by Huaxia Technology Company and then calculating the discount to determine how much money the Shanghu Group needs to pay to make up for the compensation to Huaxia Company.
"Damn it, what the hell is this?!" Yamamoto Yu tore the message to pieces in anger, staring at Inukai Jiro, "From the Ona State side, didn't they say that all our fighter planes have taken off? Who on earth did they refuel for?!"
Seeing Yamamoto Yu's murderous expression, Inukai Jiro broke out in a sweat and said anxiously: "I'll send another telegram to ask. I'll go right away!" He walked out quickly and went to the telecommunications room to send the telegram himself.
Inside the operations room, the air froze.
Ten minutes later, Inukai Jiro hurried back and came to Yamamoto Yu, whispering, "They said that it was indeed Master Yamamoto who led the team, but it seemed that Master Yamamoto was a little bit stupid, so they didn't pay much attention to it at the time."
In this newly formed air force, Yamamoto Yu's beloved youngest son, Yamamoto Twenty-one, was also one of the pilots receiving training. Twenty-one himself loved flying planes and was temporarily appointed as the captain of the pilots.
A close subordinate of Governor Hamilton of New York State, who helped the Japanese Air Force prepare the airport, met with Yamamoto Twenty-one.
"Twenty-one will not betray me! He would rather commit suicide than be coerced!" Yamamoto Yu gritted his teeth.
Inukai Jiro didn't dare to say anything, after all, this was related to the honor of the Yamamoto family.
"That Huaxia Technology? Why could they seize our plane? Isn't the Ueto Group appealing?!" Yamamoto Yu's eyes were like an extremely angry lion that wanted to eat someone.
"I, I don't know either..." Inukai Jiro couldn't help but shudder under Yamamoto Yu's gaze.
Yamamoto Xiong suddenly remembered something, strode to the table where the telephone was placed, picked up the receiver that he had thrown on the table, and shouted: "Lu Qianxing! Are you still there? Are you still there?!"
Over there, it should be the subordinates of Prince Black Mountain Castle who had been holding the microphone and listening to the noise, and now he handed it to Prince Black Mountain Castle.
"Yes, I'm here." The tone of the Prince of Black Mountain Castle was still calm.
"It was you who did this? You stole my plane?!" Yamamoto Yu gritted his teeth.
"Prime Minister, this is not stealing. Huaxia Technology is just asking the bailiff to execute the law. Besides, this is not your plane, right? It belongs to the Ueto Group that lost the lawsuit, right?"
"Don't argue with me! What's going on?" Yamamoto Yu finally calmed down.
The Prince of Black Mountain coughed and said, "The Prime Minister has been calling me a lawyer and now he is asking me about legal issues. Actually, my price is quite high. My law firm is charging me 100,000 yuan per minute. In addition, they have to select clients to see if I am willing to meet them..."
Despite his rage, Yamamoto Yu became calmer and said, "No matter how much it costs, I'm willing to pay!"
"Okay, you are sincere, I will start the timer now..." As if he was really pressing a stopwatch, after a while, his voice sounded again: "The problem here is that the Shanghu Consortium has not paid the 30 million yuan deposit for the appeal, and it has not paid it until the appeal court urges it. Of course, in fact, many people don't take it seriously and will wait for the result of the appeal. Otherwise, not only will the seized property have to be returned, but if it causes losses to others, the plaintiff may become the defendant and be sued."
"However, Huaxia Technology is serious about it. It just so happens that the Shanghu Group has a batch of such planes flying around outside, and after they were seized, there was a buyer immediately, that is, the military of our Principality of Montenegro. Therefore, Huaxia Technology naturally applied to the Circuit Court for execution. The bailiff led the team, but the notice was sent a little late, which is also in line with the law to prevent the executed party from transferring property. As for all the pilots of the Shanghu Group who were unable to speak, they were involved in a fight in the local area and were temporarily detained. It may not be forty-eight hours, but now, they should see a lawyer. However, if you declare war on the Principality of Montenegro, their status may become prisoners of war."
"Now, Prime Minister Yamamoto, do you understand?"
Veins on Yamamoto's forehead were throbbing. He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "You already knew about my preparations for the Air Force. Your plan started when the Ueto Group was sued, right?..."
My body felt like it was falling into an icy cave. When I realized this, I suddenly realized how terrifying the young man on the microphone was.
Prince Black Mountain Castle was silent, and suddenly said: "It seems that your First Division Armored Forces are stationed in a too prominent position. According to your battle plan, you want to raid the Honshu Territory, right?"
Without saying anything, Yamamoto Yu hung up the phone and turned to Inukai Jiro, "Connect me to the First Division Headquarters!"
There was a red telephone on the table, and it suddenly rang rapidly. The ringtone was so harsh.
