Japanese homeland, naval base.

Navy Minister Osamu Nagano, Marine Minister Yoneuchi Mitsumasa, Vice-Admiral of the Navy Yamamoto Isoroku and Director of Naval Affairs Rear Admiral Inoue Narumi and others were also gathered in the conference room of the Navy Ministry.

"This time, His Majesty and Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro plan to ask you to go to Songhu in person to inspect the combat performance of these new carrier-based aircraft!"

"What do you think?"

"Yamamoto-kun!"

Marine Minister Yoneuchi Mitsumasa looked at the Vice-Admiral of the Navy Isoroku Yamamoto whom he valued more, stared at him sharply and asked.

"Everything must be obeyed by the Prime Minister of the Sea!"

"I have no objection!"

Vice-Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku Yamamoto quickly agreed to the Marine Minister Mitsumasa Yoneuchi who rarely spoke in such a good tone.

"That's good, he is indeed the person I like!"

"Actually, the reason why I sent you and Major General Inoue Narumi here this time is because you once served as the head of the Aviation Headquarters, and you also very much hope to vigorously develop our Imperial Navy's aviation force, so I feel that I am sending you here in person this time.

He is the most suitable candidate to supervise the experimental operations of the latest Zero carrier-based aircraft!"

Seeing that Yamamoto Isoroku, whom he had supported and favored, could be so obedient and did as he was told, Mitsumasa Yoneuchi, the Prime Minister of the Sea, became more and more handsome, so he explained with a gentler smile.

"Hai!"

"Thank you, Mr. Hai, for your compliment!"

"By the way, Prime Minister, I can take Naval Aviation Staff Officer Kuroshima Kameto and Genda Minoru to Songhu, okay?"

"Both of them are my right-hand assistants, and they are also very talented in HNA training!"

"I feel that if the two of them follow me, they will be of great guidance!"

"Especially the new carrier-based aircraft Zero fighter, they are also the first people to see and fly it!"

Isoroku Yamamoto was very grateful for the favorable opinion of the Prime Minister of the Sea, Mitsumasa Yoneuchi, towards him and suggested.

"I approve you!"

Seeing that Vice-Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku had good intentions and wanted to complete this monitoring mission, Marine Minister Mitsuhi Mineuchi readily agreed.

"Thank you! Master Haishou!"

Vice Admiral of the Navy Yamamoto Isoroku nodded again and bowed his head in thanks.

"In addition, you need to remember that in this experimental operation, we cannot immediately engage in head-to-head combat with those mysterious enemy aircraft, so you must remember that if our new carrier-based aircraft, the Zero,

When encountering those new mysterious enemy planes, we should first keep some distance from them and see what our flying speed is like!"

"In addition, you can also test the combat effectiveness appropriately to see what the gap is with these incoming mysterious enemy planes, but you cannot fight these mysterious enemy planes as hard as before!"

"Unless our combat performance has surpassed these mysterious enemy aircraft, we will never be able to make fearless sacrifices. The lives of pilots are more important than carrier-based aircraft!"

"The carrier-based aircraft will be gone. Although it will be very painful for us, we can still create them again. But if the pilots, especially the elite pilots, are gone, they cannot be cultivated in a short time. Therefore, without absolute combat effectiveness

If we can defeat these mysterious enemy planes, we must first save the lives of our empire’s aviation forces!”

"In addition to the new carrier-based aircraft that can conduct experimental operations in advance, the directors at our arsenal are also ready to cooperate with the designers at the aerospace factory of our ally the German Army to prepare for development

Newer fighter jets and carrier-based aircraft are used to deal with these new mysterious enemy aircraft that appear out of nowhere!"

"Because according to the communication between the directors of our arsenal and the German army, those mysterious enemy planes were definitely not developed by them, so they are also very worried about which country these mysterious enemy planes come from.

!”

"You also know very well that the ambitions of the German army are very great, no greater than the ambitions of our Imperial Army!"

"So they don't allow other countries' fighter jets and carrier-based aircraft to surpass their country's aircraft in combat performance!"

"Because in this case, once a war breaks out, they will be suppressed by the opponent's new fighter jets and carrier-based aircraft. Just like the embarrassing situation our Imperial Air Force is facing now, it will soon

Not optimistic!”

"And in addition to the German army, our overseas intelligence office has also collected that the British army, the French army, and even the United States seem to be developing new fighter jets and carrier-based aircraft, and they are also worried about these mysterious enemy aircraft.

of!"

"So I feel very strange. If these new mysterious enemy aircraft are not developed and produced by these powerful countries, then which country will they be?"

"The country that has developed such a new type of aircraft is pretending that it was not developed by them!"

"So the development of the matter was completely beyond our expectations. It was impossible to estimate where these mysterious aircraft were developed and why they helped the Chinese army to deal with our imperial army. Our aviation force, including Hainan Airlines,

and the Army Airlines, both of which have already suffered a lot of casualties in their pilots’ hands!”

"As for the number of aircraft, there are also a lot of them, so I am completely puzzled about assisting the China Army to fight against us, because the point is that the China Army simply does not have the ability to develop and produce such new aircraft. Although

They once relied on the help of foreigners to establish an aircraft factory in Hangzhou, but they only produced some ordinary aircraft, and they did not have such powerful aircraft as these new aircraft!"

"Moreover, these new aircraft are of a type we have never seen before, and their speed is amazing!"

"And when I got the battlefield photos from the Intelligence Agency, I saw that these new mysterious aircraft can also launch some missiles that look like rockets to attack the aircraft of our Imperial Air Force, and they are very lethal.

It’s huge!”

"That's why I sent you and Major General Narumi Inoue to Songhu to supervise the entire experimental operation of this new carrier-based aircraft Zero Fighter because this matter is so surprising.

Otherwise, we must first ensure the personal safety of our elite pilots!"

"And try to get me as much first-line intelligence and photos as possible about these mysterious incoming enemy planes!"

"We need to know ourselves and our enemies as soon as possible so that we can be victorious in every battle!"

As soon as Vice-Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku finished speaking, Marine Minister Mitsumasa Yoneuchi immediately spoke out incessantly, expressing all his inner thoughts.

"Xiang Hai is right!"

Navy Minister Nagano Shushen also nodded in agreement.

"Hai!"

"My subordinates will definitely complete the mission of His Excellency the Prime Minister and the Minister of the Navy!"

Vice Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku nodded seriously again and agreed.

In this regard, both Marine Minister Yoneuchi Mitsumasa and Navy Minister Osamu Nagano were very satisfied with the performance of Vice-Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku.

As for Rear Admiral Narumi Inoue, the chief of naval affairs who had been sitting silently and listening patiently to their words, he became more and more curious about what the mysterious new aircraft that appeared in China's skies to fight against Japanese aircraft looked like.
