Emperor Showa was very unhappy. In the naval battle on the 16th, their Empire of Japan actually lost. They lost miserably. As a result, other countries in the world now look at the Independent Division with admiration, including their collaborators with the Empire of Japan, Germany.
Two days have passed since the naval battle. Yamamoto Isoroku is his favorite naval admiral. Now, the old naval battle has suffered a defeat at the hands of the independent division, and Yamamoto Isoroku has been clamoring for aviation to win, and only aviation to win!
The newly developed fighter planes still seemed to be no match for the independent division's fighters, which made him very depressed.
What he is reading now is Yamamoto Isoroku's review of this naval battle and the details of the naval battle.
Yamamoto Isoroku said that although this naval battle was a trap of the Independent Division, in fact, they were not at a disadvantage at the beginning. It was not until the fighters of the Independent Division surrounded and killed their new fighters that most of the warships were
The bombers of the Independent Division destroyed Nagato, Mutsu and other old battleships.
Yamamoto Isoroku said that originally the naval strength of the Empire of Japan could almost challenge that of Britain and the United States, but now, I am afraid it is far behind.
Emperor Showa had a headache. Japan is an island country, so the navy is very important. The navy has a very special status in their country. Now, the most promising naval genius has also suffered a defeat, which shows that the enemy is powerful. But the current problem is that so many battleships
The maintenance cost is a huge amount of money.
The finances are running out of money. He has already used money from the private treasury to subsidize it. You can't ask him for money at any time.
Emperor Showa put down the documents and sighed. In this naval battle, they lost nearly one-third of their naval power, and one-third of their most elite. Although it did not damage morale too much, a loss is still a loss.
.
More than forty years ago, they relied on their navy to knock on the door of the Qing government and made a lot of profits. But now, their most proud navy has actually been defeated. Emperor Showa can imagine what China must be like
What kind of morale, what kind of celebration.
"Eh." He sighed. He didn't know what to do. It seemed that even the newly appointed Prime Minister, Mitsumasa Yoneuchi, was a little panicked. Not only him, but many people were panicked. There started to be *****
appeared, and some people began to say that Japan must lose. Among these remarks, some people said that Japan is a small country, even only one province of China, so why should it anger China? Historically, we have not always asked China
Did you learn? Now, even the navy has failed! And the army has stagnated on the Chinese battlefield! How many soldiers have been lost?
"Your Majesty, Your Excellency the Prime Minister would like to see you."
"Um."
After a while, Mitsumasa Yoneuchi appeared in front of the emperor, saluted, and then said, "Your Majesty."
"Mine-kun, what's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, due to the current financial problems of the empire, I believe that we can issue some more bonds." Mitsumasa Yoneuchi said, "Judging from Yamamoto-kun's report, although our new fighter planes are still not as good as those of the independent division, they are not far behind.
Therefore, we must continue to develop and improve the performance of new fighter aircraft, secondly, we must repair and maintain a number of warships, and thirdly, we have finally obtained an independent division rifle."
"Nani? Really?" Emperor Showa sat up straight, with surprise in his tone.
"Hi! This rifle is produced by the Independent Division Arsenal. For this, we paid the price of more than ten warriors." Mitsumasa Yoneuchi said. In fact, there are more than a dozen. The Independent Division's review of guns is very strict. The Japanese
If they can get one, they don't know how many people have died.
"Yoshi!" Emperor Showa was finally in a better mood, "So, how many yen of bonds do you think Yonei-kun should issue?"
"Before coming, I discussed with the Minister of Finance. He felt that it would be more appropriate to issue 100 million yen." Mitsumasa Yoneuchi replied.
"Yoshi! Then issue 100 million yen bonds!"
"Hi!"
"To improve the performance of new fighters as soon as possible, we need to get the specific performance of the independent division fighters! Then we will step up maintenance and build new warships. We must crack the secret of the independent division rifles as soon as possible!"
"Hi!"
During World War II, most of the war bonds issued by Japan were issued simultaneously at home and abroad. A small part of the domestic bonds were purchased by ordinary people, and a large part was purchased by major consortiums to show their loyalty. As for foreign countries, there were still many who won against Japan.
.
As an enemy of Japan, Zhou Weiguo was not in a good mood. After the funeral, he was waiting for the war points to arrive. As a result, a soldier reported that the Japanese army had stolen a gun produced in the arsenal.
Soon after, Chen Wu appeared in front of Zhou Weiguo and said, "Master, we have killed more than thirty Japs, but they still escaped."
Zhou Weiguo frowned. He also knew that since the arsenal could produce guns, there would definitely be spies. However, it was difficult for the Japanese to sacrifice so many people at one time just for a gun.
"Forget it, I will notify other people to handle this matter. The gun should still be in Shandong now. If the Japs want to transport it out, they will definitely not be able to transport it out so quickly." Zhou Weiguo said, "But since the Japs have stolen the gun, they will definitely do it.
Try your best to transport it out. In Shandong, there are too many opportunities for the Japanese to transport it out."
Chen Wu nodded.
"Then set up some obstacles and let them go. Even if the devils get the model of the gun, it will take a while to make it or even put it into service. Moreover, our gun consumes more bullets than the 38-year-old Gaiduoduo
"Yes." Zhou Weiguo smiled. Based on the current situation of the Japs, I'm afraid they will take the gun to Fengtian first. After all, the Japs do not have many domestic resources, but the three eastern provinces are rich in resources, have ready-made arsenals, and have strong research and development capabilities.
Not weak.
After returning to the headquarters, Zhou Weiguo immediately found Gu Feiyan and Liu San.
"What's wrong? Are you in such a hurry?" Liu San said and looked at Zhou Weiguo.
"The Japanese stole our guns." Zhou Weiguo handed the documents to the two of them.
The two took it and looked at it, and then Gu Feiyan said, "I'll go. After resting for so long, it's time to do some activities."
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "That's okay. How about the third brother staying behind and continuing to train new recruits?"
Liu San sighed, "I haven't even finished reading it. You've just finished talking. What else can I say?"
"Hahaha." Zhou Weiguo and Gu Feiyan laughed.
"Lao Yan, what do you think? When is the best time to set off?"
"As early as possible, let's get to Fengtian from here. Counting the waterway, it means one day of waterway and two days of dry road, which doesn't give us much time." Gu Feiyan said, "So I hope that we can be sent by plane.
Let's parachute. In this way, we will arrive in Shenyang earlier than the Japanese being transported, and we can wait for work in leisure."
