Mitsumasa Yoneuchi was going crazy. ω. 』ｍ
Overnight, the entire Third Fleet, which was fighting with the 9th Division of the Sixth Army in Shanghai, was completely wiped out. The moment after receiving the report, Mitsumasa Yoneuchi's heart skipped a beat. He thought it was the British Emperor. The army and navy are coming. Looking at the whole world, I am afraid that only the British Royal Navy has this strength!
This is really not Mitsumasa Yonai's arrogance, because among the three major naval powers in the world today, although the United States' total naval tonnage is as large as that of the United Kingdom and is in the first echelon in the world, Japan's total naval tonnage is slightly inferior to that of the United States and the United Kingdom, but if we say In terms of overall strength, the Japanese Navy can lag behind the U.S. Navy by several avenues!
To put it bluntly, the Japanese Navy grew up little by little in blood and fire. The Battle of Tsushima was the baptism of blood and fire for the Japanese Navy. The U.S. Navy has almost never fought a war since the day it was formed. For the navy, , whether you have experienced actual combat or not is totally different.
It takes one year to build an army, ten years to build an air force, and a hundred years to build a navy. This is not something we say casually.
Therefore, looking at the world today, only the British Royal Navy has the ability to annihilate the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet stationed in Shanghai overnight.
Therefore, Mitsumasa Yonai immediately suspected the British Navy.
However, the next moment, Mitsumasa Yoneuchi immediately overturned this speculation.
The reason is very simple, because the intelligence agency of the Japanese Navy is not a vegetarian. Not only did they send spies to Hong Kong and Singapore, they even have Japanese Navy spies in the UK. I dare not say that every move of the British Royal Navy is in Japan. Under the surveillance of the Admiralty, but if the British government wanted to dispatch a large-scale ocean-going fleet to Shanghai for an expedition, it could not hide it from the intelligence personnel of the Japanese Admiralty.
However, intelligence officers had no information about the Royal Navy expedition.
Therefore, the suspicion of the British Royal Navy can be ruled out. This was definitely not done by the British!
So, this matter is very ridiculous. Who exactly attacked the Third Fleet
Then, a more detailed report was sent to the Navy Ministry. This report was issued by the commander of the Kaga aircraft carrier, Fujimori Seiichiro, before the Kaga sank. Fujimori Seiichiro told everything he knew about the situation in the telegram. Including first receiving distress signals from several warships including the Xizhao.
Several warships, including the Sunset, sent out distress signals after being attacked by the Broadway Building.
Then, just as they were preparing to dispatch the aviation force to the Huangpu River for rescue, they received an order from the commander of the Third Fleet, Kiyoshi Hasegawa, ordering the Kaga to stay off the coast of Wusong on standby. Kiyoshi Hasegawa, the commander of the Third Fleet, Who dares to disobey orders? Therefore, the Kaga aircraft carrier did not send carrier aviation to support.
Then the cruiser Izumo and the light cruiser Kuma Tianryu suddenly appeared near the Kaga aircraft carrier and launched a surprise attack on the Kaga.
The Kaga aircraft carrier failed to react in time and was hit by a torpedo. Its hull broke and sank.
Of the sixty aircraft parked on the deck, except for one reconnaissance aircraft on duty that took off in time and escaped, the other fifty-nine fighter bombers or combat reconnaissance aircraft all followed the Kaga aircraft carrier and sank into the sea off Wusong.
However, Seiichiro Fujimori raised his suspicions to the Navy Department in a telegram. He believed that the ships of the Third Fleet anchored on the Huangpu River were probably hijacked by the remnants of the Broadway Building! Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain what happened last night. Only if the battleship was hijacked can everything be explained!
After receiving the telegram from Seiichiro Fujimori, Mitsumasa Yoneuchi went crazy.
Although the Third Fleet is not the main force of the navy, it is still a fleet after all!
Although the cruiser Izumo is old, the Kaga is the main aircraft carrier of the navy!
If there is a war with the British Royal Navy's Far East Fleet or the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet in the future, ten aircraft carriers, including the Kaga aircraft carrier, will become the backbone of the navy!
But now, the Kaga sank off the coast of Wusong!
Overnight, the Japanese Navy lost one-tenth of its aircraft carriers!
What the hell is this thing called? The Navy's Third Fleet was not sunk in a naval battle, but fell into the hands of a group of traitors in the Broadway Building? What makes Minaiguang's political anger almost crazy is that the remnants of the Broadway Building were only accepted on board the ship after repeated requests from the Army. Who swore that there was no problem with the Broadway Building
Although this is just speculation by Seiichiro Fujimori, Mitsumasa Yoneuchi believes it, and he thinks it is a fact!
Therefore, Mitsumasa Yoneuchi urgently ordered the Fourth Fleet to rush to Shanghai from Taiwan and drove straight to the Imperial Palace. He wanted to complain to Hirohito before the people from the Army Headquarters. Otherwise, he would have to let the Army Headquarters go first. When someone comes to Hirohito, they might even hit him with a rake and pour the dirty water on the navy's head.
In any case, the annihilation of the entire Third Fleet is no small matter!
Such a big thing happened and so many warships were lost, especially a precious aircraft carrier. This was an unbearable loss for the Japanese Navy and even Japan as a whole! For such a heavy loss, a high-ranking official must stand up and take responsibility for it. Mitsumasa Yoneuchi did not want the blame to fall on him.
After all, the root cause of this matter still lies with the Army.
Therefore, Mitsumasa Yoneuchi drove to the Imperial Palace as soon as possible.
Mitsumasa Yoneuchi was afraid that people from the military headquarters would sue them for the navy's tricks.
Juichi Terauchi and Hideki Tojo were also afraid that the navy would sue them for being cunning.
As a result, three people bumped into each other at the gate of the Imperial Palace.
The discord between the Japanese Navy and the Japanese Army is an open secret in the entire Japanese military community. But in normal times, as colleagues, they would say hello to each other after meeting. But this time, whether it is Juichiwa Terauchi or Tojo Hideki and Yoneuchi Mitsumasa were too lazy to make superficial remarks. They glared at each other and the three of them rushed into the imperial palace.
(Dividing line)
Hirohito had just woken up when Mitsumasa Yoneuchi and the three others arrived.
Yesterday, Hirohito suddenly fainted. Fortunately, the imperial doctor arrived in time and rescued him, and he was not seriously injured. After nearly twenty hours of drowsiness, his energy recovered a lot. After waking up at around six o'clock this morning, Hirohito didn't feel sleepy anymore, so he simply got up.
After receiving a report from the bodyguard that the Minister of the Navy Mitsumasa Yoneuchi, the Minister of the Army Juichi Terauchi and the Deputy Minister Hideki Tojo requested to see each other at the same time, Hirohito was a little confused. He did not order an imperial meeting today. How could the Minister of the Navy and the Minister of the Army still talk to each other? Did the deputy commander of the 6th Army come to the Imperial Palace together? Did something happen again
Thinking of this, Hirohito's face immediately darkened and he asked the guards to summon three people to his imperial secretary.
After a while, Yonei Komasaji Temple Juichi and Tojo Hideki filed into the imperial study.
Hirohito put down the brush in his hand and said calmly: "The Minister of the Navy, the Minister of the Army, and the Deputy Commander of the Army came to my study at the same time. This is really rare, but I don't know what the reason is?"
Mitsumasa Yoneuchi rushed to say: "Your Majesty, because the Army is too incompetent, it has harmed our navy, causing the Third Fleet to suffer heavy losses, and the Kaga aircraft carrier was also sunk."
"Nani?" Hirohito was stunned immediately after hearing this.
The Navy's Third Fleet was severely damaged and the Kaga was sunk? !
Suddenly hearing the news, Hirohito suddenly felt depressed, as if a big stone was pressing down on him, and he couldn't even breathe. This news was more serious than the ninth division. Division commander Yoshizumi Ryosuke Being captured is much more serious, because the weight of a military division is far incomparable to that of a fleet!
Hearing what Mitsumasa Yoneuchi said, Tojo Hideki immediately jumped up.
"Yonai-kun, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense!" Hideki Tojo retorted sharply, "The Third Fleet of the Navy suffered heavy losses. What does it have to do with our Army?"
Shouichi in the temple also echoed loudly: "What Mr. Tojo said is absolutely true. What does this matter have to do with our army?"
"It's a big deal!" Mitsumasa Yoneuchi said sternly, "If it hadn't been for the repeated requests of your army, how could our Third Fleet have transferred the remnants of the Broadway Building to the warship? How could the remnants of the Broadway Building have not been on the ship? Do the warships of the Third Fleet pose a threat? So I say, it depends on your army!"
"Baga!" Terauchi Shouichi said angrily, "When did our Army Corps request you to take the remnants of Broadway Building onto the ship? You are slandering, it is slander!"
Mitsumasa Yoneuchi waved his arms and roared loudly: "The person who made the request to put the remnants of the Broadway Building on the ship was Kage Sasaki. Kage Sasaki is the deputy chief of the Nakamura Agency. Is the Nakamura Agency a unit of your 6th Army? Does Zuo Zhenzhao count as a member of your Army? Do you dare to say that this matter has nothing to do with the Army?"
Terauchi Shouichi immediately became speechless, because Kagezuo Zhenzhen was really a member of the Army.
Tojo Hideki said coldly: "This is just a one-sided statement by your navy. Do you have any evidence?"
"Evidence? Of course there is evidence!" Mitsumasa Yoneuchi said as he took out the telegram sent by Seiichiro Fujimori before the sinking from his briefcase, photographed it on the case, and then said, "This is Seiichiro Fujimori, commander of the Kaga aircraft carrier. The farewell telegram sent before the jade was broken contained detailed events."
Juichi Terauchi and Hideki Tojo were about to reach out to grab the telegram, but were overtaken by another pair of hands.
Hirohito picked up the telegram from the imperial desk in one fell swoop. In a hurry, his handsome face, which was still a little pale, instantly turned red. For Hirohito, the heavy damage to the Navy's Third Fleet was the responsibility of the Navy or It is the responsibility of the Army. These are not important. The only important thing is that the Third Fleet has been completely destroyed!
"Baga, my third fleet!" Hirohito whined, looking up to the sky and spurting blood. The sexy actress with big butt reveals a large-scale bed photo”! WeChat public: meinvgu123 (press and hold for three seconds to copy) You understand and I understand!
