Chapter 404: Continue the Attack
"Katoshiro, what do you mean by this?" Hirano Shaoqi suddenly couldn't sit still, he stood up with a red face and a thick neck.
Kato Shiro glanced at him lightly and said: "It's not interesting, Hirano-kun, don't you think what I said is not the truth? Whether it is the loss of the entire Manchuria or the fall of Goryeo, it will become the most shameful in the history of the Japanese Empire.
The page is a shame to our entire Yamato nation!"
"You...you..." Hirano Shaoqi's face turned red, and he was so angry that he was shaking all over and was about to run away.
Saito Minoru, who was sitting in the first place, quickly stood up and waved his hands to stop him: "That's enough, you two, now is the most difficult period for the empire. We are suffering from the greatest threat in history. I don't want to see you continue to quarrel. We need to
Unite, unite, do you understand?"
Hirano Shaoqi and Kato Shiro quickly lowered their heads: "Hai!"
After Hirano Shaoqi sat down again, Saito Minoru said earnestly: "Hirano-kun, Kato-kun, the current situation is critical, and our navy's dominance in Asia has been seriously threatened.
This means that in the Pacific Ocean, various ships such as the Imperial Army's fleet, merchant ships, and fishing boats will most likely be attacked by this unknown naval force. Of course, we can temporarily regard them as the navy of the China Army.
I think you all should understand that our Empire of Japan’s external import needs for various strategic materials and raw materials, so the safety of sea lanes is the most important, otherwise our Empire of Japan will fall into a state of catastrophe."
After saying this, Saito Minoru looked at the people present with a solemn look and said: "Therefore, everyone, I have decided that we must increase investment in the development of the navy to ensure that similar tragic incidents will not happen again and to ensure that the Imperial Navy of Japan
The Combined Fleet continues to maintain its dominance in Asian waters!"
As soon as Saito Minoru said these words, the expressions of everyone present changed one after another, and all the Navy officials headed by Kato Shiro were beaming with joy.
The Army Department officials headed by Hirano Shaoqi were shocked, and Hirano Shaoqi even stood up.
But before he could speak, Saito Minoru waved his hands and ordered in an unquestionable tone: "Hirano-kun, you don't need to say more, everything must be based on the vital interests of the Yamato nation. I have already discussed this matter before coming here."
With the consent of His Majesty the Emperor."
After hearing this, Hirano Shaoqi's face turned pale immediately, and he sat back in his seat as dejectedly as a deflated balloon.
No longer as energetic as before, Shiro Kato was ecstatic. He led all his colleagues to stand up straight and shouted in unison: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live the Empire of Japan!"
The meeting broke up quickly. Compared with the high-spirited and refreshed naval officers such as Shiro Kato, Hirano Shaoqi and his party were all dejected, like cocks that had been defeated in a fight.
Although they were deeply dissatisfied and unwilling, His Majesty the Emperor had already spoken, and they did not dare to object face to face.
The Emperor has been deified in the hearts of the entire Japanese people. He is a god-like existence, and no one dares to violate the Emperor's will.
……………………
With Zhang Xinghan's full support, Zang Shiyi successively prepared to build fertilizer plants in Changchun, Shenyang, Harbin and other places, and several fertilizer plants were under construction at the same time.
The fertilizers accumulated by Jilin Longtan Fertilizer Factory over the past year have already been purchased by nearby landowners and common people.
There is a huge demand for chemical fertilizers in various places in the Northeastern Border Guard Base Area, especially in the three northeastern provinces outside the customs. For a time, in places such as Liaoning, Jilin and other places, chemical fertilizers fell into a tight supply situation that was hard to find.
The employees of Longtan Fertilizer Factory work overtime around the clock, and the fertilizer produced is bought by buyers waiting in line as soon as it leaves the workshop.
Zang Shiyi and other logistics department officials were extremely busy.
In the Northeast Frontier Defense Force Headquarters in Jilin City, Zhang Xinghan was drinking tea and listening to Jiang Baili's excited report.
When such a situation occurred, everything was as expected by Zhang Xinghan, and he did not show too much surprise or surprise.
Instead, he took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Chief of Staff, let's tell Zang Shiyi that we can postpone the construction of our military factories for a while and concentrate our financial and material resources to build our new fertilizer factory."
"Well, that's fine. Now all the equipment in the arsenal is ready, and it will only be a matter of time before it goes into production. However, the demand for fertilizers is huge and the supply is extremely tight." Jiang Baili said.
"Promoting the production and supply of chemical fertilizers will not only increase our profits, but also increase the grain production in the entire base area of nine provinces and four cities. During the war, grain is more precious than gold!
As long as our grain output increases, our industry and military industry can develop better and remain invincible." Zhang Xinghan nodded.
After Jiang Baili had arranged everything that Zhang Xinghan had told him, when he came back, he found Zhang Xinghan meditating in front of the map.
She didn't even seem to notice his footsteps coming back.
"Chief, what are you thinking about?" Jiang Baili came up behind Zhang Xinghan and asked.
"Now that everything in our base is on track, it's time to launch another air raid on Japan." Zhang Xinghan said ambitiously.
Jiang Baili nodded when he heard this and said: "Well, after this period of rest, the task force air strike force should be ready to attack again. It's time."
No modern person would be able to understand Zhang Xinghan's disgust and hatred for the Japanese.
As a special forces soldier in his previous life, when he and his comrades visited the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall, he truly experienced the unprecedented pain and national hatred.
Deep hatred and shame motivate each of them.
Now he has arrived in this time and space in the 1930s by accident, and has the ability to avenge the 30 million Chinese compatriots who died in that time and space, so he will naturally spare no effort to do it.
What's more, defeating Japanese militarism is still a top priority that affects whether the Chinese nation can truly rise again.
Again, if the Chinese nation wants to achieve great rejuvenation and once again rise as a world-class superpower, Japan, a small country, must be eliminated.
The elimination here is not the elimination of barbaric acts, but the elimination of their militaristic regime and any fanatical militants who are hostile to China.
Completely defeat them militarily, turn them into a low-income country, and then support pro-China regimes to rule as puppets.
Therefore, continued bombing and air strikes against Japan are only a prelude to annihilating Japan.
"However, this attack on the Japanese mainland should not be a simple air raid and bombing operation. Our submarine force should be dispatched for a joint operation.
Japanese ports and terminals, shipping merchant ships, warships, in short, as long as they are ships and facilities flying the Japanese flag, they are all targets that we need to attack." Zhang Xinghan said this and said: "Tell the Jiaolong Task Force and the air raids
Brigade, please follow this order!"
"Yes!" Jiang Baili stood up straight and responded, turned around and took the order to leave.
More than three hours later, Tokyo, Prime Minister Office.
An attendant military attache hurriedly came outside Saito Minoru's house, stopped at the door and said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, it's bad, we just received reports from Fukuoka, Saga, and Nagasaki. They are in less than half a mile."
Within hours, they were attacked by the Chinese Air Force almost simultaneously. The airport, dock and other facilities were seriously damaged.
Thousands of casualties."
"What?" Saito Minoru was furious when he heard this. He immediately stood up and said angrily: "What do our air defense troops do for food? Didn't I strictly require them to be prepared for air defense?"
The military attaché lowered his head and said nothing. He could not explain this.
It is almost impossible for Japan as a whole to do all the air defense in this era when radar is not widely used.
The Chinese [***] Squadron has now established an air force base in Busan and can conduct air strikes on any area in Japan in less than four hours.
On the other hand, the Japanese Air Force, not to mention the fact that it is seriously lagging behind in fighter aircraft, is no match for the Northeast Frontier Force Air Force.
Even take-off operations are greatly restricted, because none of their fighter planes can take off from their own homeland, cross the East China Sea, and the Yellow Sea to directly conduct air strikes on the Chinese mainland.
Unless they dispatch the navy's sea-based aviation force, but after the Kawagumo fleet incident, the navy would not dare to take such a risk anyway.
On the Korean Peninsula, on the other hand, the Japanese land-based and sea-based aviation forces were still able to carry out effective air strikes on its southern coastal areas.
But to put it bluntly, no matter how they conduct air strikes, the casualties can only be Koreans, and the Chinese [***] team will not feel sorry for them at all.
Not only is this unlikely to cause losses to the Northeastern Border Guards, but it will intensify the Korean people's hatred of the Japanese, making them more inclined to the Northeastern Border Guards.
Another point is that such a worthless and meaningless air strike will most likely be intercepted by air force fighters of the Northeast Border Guard on the Koryo Peninsula.
Once the two sides encounter each other, the consequences will be extremely terrible.
As the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Saito Minoru understood this truth, so he scolded his subordinates and vented his anger.
He waved his hand to signal the attaché to leave, then reached for the phone on the table to make arrangements for the air raid.
At the same time, on the sea about a hundred nautical miles away from the Lushun military port, the fifty submarines of the Jiaolong task force were leaving the Bohai Bay at high speed.
This time Ives and a group of instructors did not follow Liu Yuntao and others on the expedition, but stayed at the Lushun Naval Base to continue training other submarine recruits.
In Ives' words, after the baptism of the last successful actual battle, it was time for them to act alone in order to better hone the officers and soldiers of the Jiaolong Task Force.
After seeing the absolutely advanced capabilities of the Xxi submarine, Ives and other instructors were relieved.
