"Why do we have to fight a decisive battle in the Hawaiian Islands, we can completely deceive the Germans, they will not know.
Even if you know, what can you do with us?"
"Yes, there is no certainty of victory in the decisive battle at the moment, and even if it wins, the combined fleet will inevitably be greatly damaged."
"And now the Americans have used bacteriological weapons against our homeland, so if the war continues any longer, the consequences are unimaginable."
Japan, Kuril Islands, Sawatori Island, single crown bay.
In the commander's cabin of the Yamato, the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Commander Nagumo Tadaichi and Chief of Staff Ryunosuke Kusaka were having a secret conversation with Ito Junichi, who had personally come to convey the order of the Military Command Department.
Nagumo Tadaichi and Kusaka Ryunosuke had already commanded the Combined Fleet to maneuver with the Americans for more than three months, and during this time, they also led the fleet to attack several times to cover the reinforcement of the Hawaiian Islands.
However, they never found the opportunity for a decisive battle of the fleet, because the size of the American fleet was so large that it covered a large area of the ocean south of the Hawaiian Islands.
Moreover, the Americans also carefully hid their main aircraft carrier formations, and it was difficult for the Japanese side to determine their location.
This makes it impossible to launch a suicide missile assault, and even a conventional air strike is difficult to carry out.
And the American escort aircraft carriers, although they are easy to find, their strike value is not high.
In addition, a large number of 47ds that were deployed on Niihau Island also made Tadaichi Mingumo and Ryunosuke Kusaka feel very troubled.
The 47D is fitted with an air-cooled R280021W engine with a turbocharger with 2,300 hp of water injection and 2,535 hp.
Not only is the high-altitude performance excellent, but it can undertake the dual tasks of high-altitude volley and penetration.
Moreover, the 47D is also a very sturdy and bomb-loaded aircraft, with a full reserve weight of up to 9387 kg, solid armor, a large range of fuel tanks that can support 1658 km, and an external capacity of up to 1113 kg to hang auxiliary fuel tanks or bombs.
With its high-altitude, high-speed, large range and large external capability, the 47D is a bit like the German universal aircraft FW190, which is a multi-role aircraft that can be used as a fighter-bomber.
Due to the very strong fuselage of the 47, it is very difficult for this aircraft to shoot down when performing ground and sea attack missions.
And its excellent performance and powerful firepower at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters are enough to break through the blocking of any Japanese fighter.
In other words, as long as the main forces of the Japanese Combined Fleet sailed to the 47d combat radius of Niihau, they could only watch as the heavy, large, fast, and sturdy American planes with several hundred kilograms of bombs broke through the protection of the direct cover planes, and then carried out shallow dives to drop bombs.
Although the effect of a ship-to-ship attack by the US Army's aircraft is not comparable to that of the naval aircraft that specializes in dealing with ships, mainly because of the technical skills of the pilots, Nagumo Tadaichi and Kusaka Ryunosuke are not willing to take such a risk with their precious fleet.
In addition to the above two reasons, the increasingly rampant operation of the US military to break diplomatic relations and the fact that the Japanese base camp determined that the United States was using submarines to drop anthrax germs on the Japanese mainland were also the reasons why Nagumo Tadaichi and Kusaka Ryunosuke were unwilling to fight a decisive battle.
Due to the combined role of the U.S. submarine, mine, and breakage fleet, which usually consists of Independence-class aircraft carriers, Cleveland-class light cruisers, and Fletcher-class destroyers, the volume of supplies brought back from the South Seas is rapidly declining.
If it fails to strengthen its escort as soon as possible or make peace with the United States, Japan will not be able to come up with enough fuel for the combined fleet in a few months to a year at most.
Escort operations also require the investment of a large number of surface ships, especially to deal with the small US fleet of broken diplomatic relations, and aircraft carriers must be dispatched.
If the Combined Fleet suffers heavy losses in the Battle of the Hawaiian Islands, then what else can Japan do to protect its own maritime lifeline?
If it can't even protect its lifeline at sea, what will Japan do to sustain the war?
Moreover, the US attack on the Japanese mainland also makes people feel very prickly.
Although Japan does not lag behind the United States in the research of bacteriological weapons, their medical level and pharmaceutical industry are much worse than those of the United States.
Penicillin, which can treat anthrax, cannot be produced at all, and only serum therapy can be used, which is not particularly effective and has a certain risk.
So now there are outbreaks of anthrax in many places.
Therefore, neither Nagumo nor Kusaka really wanted to fight, and only dealt with the Germans.
"That's not going to work," said Ito, the deputy head of the Military Command Department, shaking his head, "and the Germans will send observers to supervise the war, and if we don't fight hard, then they will consider signing a peace treaty with the United States and betraying ours."
The signing of a treaty with the United States to betray Japan or something was made up by the Japanese naval bigwigs such as Yamamoto Isoroku, Nagano Shusei and Ito Junichi.
However, the possibility is actually very large, because if the Japanese Combined Fleet does not severely defeat the US Pacific Fleet, it will be difficult for the European Combined Fleet to win in the Atlantic and Caribbean operations.
If the naval war cannot be won, there is no possibility of using the atomic bomb to force the US government to accept huge reparations.
Then selling Japan to the United States for a few thousand tons of gold and millions of tons of grain is Hitler's only option, with the atomic bomb in hand, and Japan to sell, Roosevelt or the future president of the United States will still make this deal.
Moreover, Japan deceived Germany first, and there was nothing morally wrong with Germany abandoning Japan, but Germany even gave it electromagnetic equipment to separate uranium-235, and also acquiesced in Japan's capture of the Soviet Far East.
"Will betray us" Nagumo Tadaichi and Kusaka Ryunosuke looked at each other, and both of them looked very worried.
Nagumo shook his head, lowered his voice and said, "Since we know that Germany cannot be trusted, we should make peace with the United States, and if Germany really defeats the United States with our help, Japan may be the next victim."
Ryunosuke Kusaka nodded, agreeing with Nagumo's opinion, "Now Rome can only rely on the European Community, and the Soviet Union is about to be defeated by the European Community."
Looking at the world, it is Europe, the United States, and Japan that stand on three legs.
And Europe is the strongest, just like the former Wei State, followed by the United States, just like the Shu Han with Jingzhou and Liangchuan, and my Japan is Soochow.
Now Wu Shu not only does not unite to resist Cao, but Eastern Wu will also help Wei to destroy Shu, in the future" The proposal of "Lianshu to resist Cao" or "Lianjin to resist Mongolia" refers to uniting with the Bolsheviks, and it is not uncommon in Tokyo.
But seeing the scene of the atomic bombing, Hideki Tojo and the living god in the Imperial Palace did not dare to really betray Germany.
"Let's talk about the future," Ito shook his head, "Those guys in the army think too highly of themselves, thinking that as long as they take the Far East, subdue East Asia, and hold Malacca and Hawaii, they will be enough to fight the Europeans."

And that's what Fushimi Palace means."
King Fushimi Miya Hirokoshi is the mouthpiece of Emperor Showa, and he himself has no meaning, only the meaning of Emperor Showa.
Nagumo Tadaichi and Kusaka Ryunosuke don't have anything to say now.
Before dinner on June 28, Hersmann had returned to his estate in Tsosen, and the meeting of the leaders of the European Community had just ended that afternoon, and all parties had finally agreed on an expedition to the Americas.
And Hersmann was in a hurry to return to Tsosen from Europaburg, not because of any changes on the battlefield, but to see off his son Rudolph.
Rudolf, who is now no longer the vice-principal of the Brandenburg School of Jet Pilots, was given a new assignment a few days ago to go to the Pacific Ocean as an observer for the German Navy.
This is a bit of a familiar thing for Rudolph, but this time it was different.
Hersman was in such a hurry to rush back from Cuossen, in fact, it was also to teach his son a face-to-face opportunity.
"What kind of warlord" Rudolph was stunned by his father's words, "Father, is this really appropriate?"
Hersman had spoken to his son on the lawn of his family's large garden, where he could run horses, and no one else was around.
"Of course it's appropriate."
Hersman looked at his son, who was wearing the uniform of a handsome major in naval aviation, smiled and said, "Rudolph, do you think Japan is still an equal partner of the empire?"
"Isn't it?"
Rudolph was Hesmann's son, but he did not know about the atomic bomb, nor did he know what kind of deal or tacit agreement had been reached between Japan and Germany.
"Not anymore."
Hersman shook his head and said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have sent you to the Pacific, and our relationship with Japan is very delicate, and they are almost forced by us to fight a battle that they don't want to fight." ” "Forced" Rudolph listened even more confused, "Father, if the Japanese don't fight, what can we do with them" "They don't dare," Hirschman said with great certainty, "but they risk a passive war." ” Japan took so many benefits from Germany, and was also tacitly allowed to annex the Soviet Far East.
If you dare not fight, then it will be a betrayal of Germany, and the consequences will be very terrible "What if they fight passively," Rudolph asked again.
"What can we do" "Just tell me," Hersman said, "and your job is to monitor them and report their operations to the General Staff, and this information is very critical."
The United States is not easy to fight, if Japan does not fight hard in the Hawaiian Islands, but lets the Pacific Fleet go with all its beards and tails, the European Combined Fleet will not be sure of victory, and now it is the most sophisticated strike force of the US Navy that is gathered near the Hawaiian Islands, and most of the veteran naval soldiers and experienced carrier-based aircraft pilots have been concentrated, although many have died in battle, there are still some left.
If they were to go to the Atlantic after some training in the Hawaiian Islands, they would have more combat experience and more composure on the battlefield.
Add to this the huge numerical superiority of the US Navy, and operations in the Atlantic Caribbean will become very difficult.
Perhaps taking less money and things, and then reaching a peace treaty with the United States, buying time for the European Community to consolidate and develop, is also an option that can be considered.
"That's it, just remember it."
Hersman turned around and patted his confused son, "I'm a little hungry, let's go to the restaurant." ” t1706231537:
