Chapter 2154 Far East Wind and Cloud One

"Everyone has heard about the results of the British Expeditionary Force. The European War is coming to an end, and the Empire is about to usher in a major war, a war more important than the Russo-Japanese War. In the future, we will face the world The two most powerful countries, the United States and Germany. And this time, we don't have a reliable ally. Everyone knows the severity of the situation, and today, we are sitting here, and we are going to discuss this matter!" Once again Xiyuanji Gongwang, who served as the prime minister, sat on the main seat and said.

"Our first line of defense is the island of Guinea. We have deployed more than 100,000 troops on the island of Guinea, and we have also built airports, submarine bases, and some fortresses. We have relatively sufficient material reserves. Our submarine force will wait for the opportunity to attack The transportation lines of the U.S. and German navies launched an attack, and under the cover of land-based aircraft, the main force of the joint fleet will use the Rabaul area as a base to defend against the attack of the U.S. and German fleets.” Gonbe Yamamoto, who is in charge of the navy, said while marking on the map Out of the position of the Japanese fleet and naval aviation.

"What if this line of defense is breached?" Xiyuan Temple Gongwang asked.

"If the Rabaul line of defense is breached, then the entire Guinea area will be very bad. The American and German armies can choose any point to launch a landing. They don't need to go deep into the depths of Guinea Island, as long as they establish a chain of bases in the coastal area that can support the army to continue advancing. That’s it. In the absence of a favorable location, it will be very difficult for us to stop the superior enemy’s attack. In this case, the navy may shrink to the area near the Philippine island of Mindanao.” Yamamoto Gonbei said.

"Hehe, isn't this the same as giving up all the German Pacific colonies and Dutch colonies that the empire acquired during the war? Yamamoto-kun is really generous. The chassis we have worked hard for more than a year is just like that. Throw it aside, and then shrink back to the territory of the empire in 1898. If we knew this, why would we start a war? The benefits that the empire spent a lot of money in exchange for are gone? Instead, we have enmity with two superpowers, so we What's the point of doing it?" Terauchi Zhengyi sneered after hearing this, and mercilessly satirized the behavior of the navy.

"Okay, Terauchi-kun, now is not the time to complain, and the implementation of the southward strategy was discussed by the cabinet at the time, and you agreed with it at the time. We can only say that we did not expect the Allied Powers to lose, and there is no point in complaining now. We Let's think about how to win this war first." Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said with some displeasure. "Then Yamamoto-kun, please continue."

"The Philippines will be our last line of defense, and the imperial navy will guard it to the death. The navy agrees that it is best to deploy the fleet here. Threatened by the flank of the imperial fleet. So they can only continue to attack the Philippines and fight on the preset battlefield selected by the empire. We have been operating in the Philippines for more than ten years, and it is not difficult to block the opponent's attack." Yamamoto Gonbei Wei said.

"Then, has the navy ever thought about the attack direction of the American and German fleets? Can we take the initiative to attack and burn the war into the opponent's area?" Xiyuan Temple Gongwang asked.

"The attack method of the American and German fleets may use the islands along the way as a pedal, and then advance step by step, occupy an island, then establish a base, and then advance. The imperial navy can only harass the opponent, but it is difficult to destroy the Americans. Base, because our land-based air force cannot accompany the fleet to fight in such a remote place, and the carrier-based air force is quite vulnerable to land-based bombers, coupled with the weakness of the fleet, so we can only fight at our own home ground.” Yamamoto Quan Bingwei said.

Although Japan is a bit powerful in this plane, the fleet is incomparable to the combined Japanese fleet in history.

However, if the Japanese dare to confront the main forces of the US and German fleets on the high seas, then the US and Germany will have an afternoon to end the war! The Japanese fleet can only operate with the support of land-based aviation, which provides reconnaissance and sea attack to make up for the lack of fleet strength.

However, subject to the constraints of aircraft performance in this era, the range of land-based aviation is relatively short. There is no such thing as B17 at all, and when it comes to the Japanese navy, they even have very few bombers of this level. Therefore, the Japanese Naval Air Force does not have the ability to fight in the ocean.

"According to the performance of the German Navy in the war, in addition to the strong main fleet of the German fleet, their submarines are also very powerful. If the Germans use what they did against the British on us, will the navy have any countermeasures?" West Yuansi Gongwang asked.

"Sorry, we can only do our best." Gonbei Yamamoto said with a pale face. For Japan, it is more difficult to protect its long lines of communication than to stop the advance of the US and German fleets! Look at the powerful British Royal Navy, isn't it also annoyed by hundreds of German submarines? The anti-submarine technology of World War I was not mature at all, and the cost performance of submarines was ridiculously high. Naturally, the Japanese could not solve the problems that the British could not solve.

"Wartime supplies mainly come from two sources. One is East Asia, which is very far away from the battlefield, and it is difficult for German submarines to threaten here. In addition, we can only pin our hopes on the fact that the United States and Germany will not attack neutral countries. The transport ship is on the move." Yamamoto Gonbei said.

"Although the strategic goals of the United States and Germany are different, we can't pin our hopes of victory on luck. The navy still needs to work hard in escorting." Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said with a sigh.

"Under such circumstances, can we consider giving up some of the interests in Southeast Asia in exchange for peace with the United States and Germany? Judging from the current situation, going north to attack Russia will gain more benefits than going south. The right enemy is also weaker." Gui Taro's words undoubtedly dropped a bomb in a calm pool in the venue, making the whole venue boil!

"This is simply traitorous remarks!" Kato Yusaburo stood up and pointed at Guitaro's nose and cursed, and the generals of the navy also stood up one after another, and the scene was chaotic.

"Okay, everyone is quiet! Everyone can talk freely at today's meeting, but the only thing is that you can't use force. If you want to fight, you can leave my yard as you please. But here, whoever dares to move around, I can only fork you out!" As the patriarch, Xiyuanji Gongwang is still enough to deter the next-level sea and land executives. Neither Kato Yusaburo nor Oshima Yoshimasa dared to make mistakes.
