During the Japanese invasion of China, most of them relied on the army, and the navy did not contribute much except the aviation and marines.

The key is that the Yamashiro government’s navy is a bit weak, with a total tonnage of only more than 60,000 tons, or the three fleets combined, while the Japanese navy has a total tonnage of more than one million tons, and it is not a level opponent at all.

As far as the current Japanese navy is concerned, although it learns the various etiquettes of the British navy, it does not actually regard the British navy as a true opponent.

The idol who studied before was beaten up by the German Navy to find teeth. What should I worry about?The navy of the British Empire has fallen!

Of course, this statement is also unfair. In the case of frontal combat, the German navy is looking for teeth on the ground, and it will definitely not be able to hold the British navy. It is just that the German navy's submarines are invincible in the battle, and the British navy has no temper.

Up to now, the British navy’s three aircraft carriers, HMS Brave, HMS Glory, and Ark Royal, have been sunk, and two of them were killed by submarines.

The three officers naturally talked about the pride of the Japanese navy, the current maritime hegemony combined fleet, but the combat mission of this main fleet is top secret, and the plan is only a few high-level navy and staff officers who participated in the formulation. Knowing that they didn't even touch the edge.

"The mission performed by the Second Fleet of the Front Fleet is just a small scene, Chen Jun, if you are lucky enough to see the attack lineup of the combined fleet, you will know how powerful the Imperial Japanese Navy is!" Nakajima Osa said with a smile.

Precisely because I don't know the battle plan, I can speculate and comment on it, drinking rice wine and eating hairy crabs, and I can't stop the topic as soon as I open it.

"The strategy of southward advancement is a war related to the destiny of the empire. The joint fleet will definitely take the most important responsibility and prove that the navy is the elite of the empire." Shimada said.

"A few days ago, I had a meal with Lieutenant General Morioka, the commander of the Sixteenth Division, and Major General Masami Maeda, the Chief of Staff of the Fourteenth Army. I have said that I have never seen any country. The navy can open up territories, unless warships can land on wheels, so if you want to realize the cause of the empire, you must rely on the army to support it." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

This statement was not made up by him, but it came from the mouths of the army generals. The navy and the army pinched hard, and words that are more excessive than this have not been relayed!

"A group of red deer dare to despise our navy? If there is no fleet to protect the waterway, what will they use to support the consumption in the war and carry the arsenal to make guns and ammunition?"

"Even if they can occupy Southeast Asia, and the navy does not provide support, relying on the transport ships built by the army, once the British and American naval ships attack, the idiots will sink to the bottom of the sea to feed the sharks at any time, and the end will be a dead end!" Ono Nakasa was very angry. Said.

"Speaking of which, I guess the main target of the combined fleet must be the station of the US Pacific Fleet. This is the biggest threat to the empire's southward strategy," said Shimada.

"It's just the most basic common sense you said, but this port is not so easy to attack. First of all, it is more than 3,000 kilometers away from the joint fleet station. It is difficult to make a sneak attack. Even if it is a sneak attack, the water depth of the port is only a dozen meters. ."

"Secondly, according to the investigation by the intelligence personnel of the Japanese Consulate General in Honolulu, the US military has hundreds of aircraft and more than 100 ships there, including three aircraft carriers and nine battleships, twenty cruisers and more than sixty destroyers. It's impossible." Ono Nakasa said.

"Not necessarily. Yamamoto's style is to bet. If this thing is true, I believe he can perform miracles. In fact, the naval aviation unit has been doing similar simulation exercises, and the location is in Kagoshima Bay."

"As for the water depth, don’t forget that in November last year, the British navy attacked Taranto in Italy and sank three battleships when the water depth was only 12 meters. This is the most significant example. ." said Nakajima Ozu.

As the three naval officers were talking, they entered the state of tactical deduction. Chen Mingxiang, as an audience, kept pouring alcohol for them. He also believed that the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy might sneak attack on the US Pacific Fleet station, which is Pearl Harbor!

Unfortunately, he did not have other channels to obtain relevant information, and he could not verify whether the three naval officers' speculations were true.

In the absence of the latest information, he chose to send a report to Boss Dai. It was already December 1st. If you wait any longer, there will be no time for warning.

"Guo Zuo, Chunfeng sent top-secret information, using the second set of codes. This is the special contact code between him and Pan Qiwu. It will never be activated until the most critical time, which means that Mingyue does not know this information. content."

"The message is as follows. On the 5th of this month, the Japanese Military Department formed the main force to attack Southeast Asia, called the Southern Army. The sequence of combat troops is temporarily unknown."

"The task of the new Fourteenth Corps is to attack the U.S. forces in the Philippines, and the third fleet of the Japanese Navy will cooperate. The attack time is scheduled for December 8."

"First of all, we carried out landing operations on Luzon Island and seized air superiority to cover the offensive aviation units, the Japanese Army Aviation Fifth Flying Group and the Navy's 11th Air Fleet."

"At the same time, the 38th Division of the 23rd Army of the Dispatch Army, with the cooperation of the Second Fleet of the Zhu Huaxia Front Fleet of the Japanese Navy, will attack Hong Kong. Both pieces of information have been confirmed."

"This is the dream of our military reinstatement bureau. It was actually done by Chunfeng. I can't believe it!" Mao Renfeng ran to Dai Li's office excitedly.

The strategic agent of Chunfeng brought huge surprises to the Military Command Bureau. This time, the value of intelligence may be second only to the Japanese bombing of the official residence in Huangshan. It saved the lives of committee members and a large group of military and political officials. From another perspective, its meaning cannot be measured by value.

The Japanese attacked Southeast Asia and entered a state of war with the United States, Britain, and the Netherlands. The pressure on the Shancheng government would be greatly reduced, and it would be difficult to launch a large-scale strategic offensive.

"This is indeed good news, but it also brings huge bad news. The Japanese army captured the concession and our Military Statistics Bureau lost its cover in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and subsequent activities would be greatly threatened."

"The Japanese army occupied Hong Kong. Our channel for receiving aid materials was cut off, and the legal currency completely lost the foreign exchange market. The financial aspect was even more difficult."

"But in any case, Chunfeng is worthy of the identity of a strategic agent of the Military Command. After the intelligence is verified, I will apply to the commissioner to apply for a reward." Boss Dai said.

"Chunfeng has another request. He needs the intelligence channels of the bureau's headquarters to provide information about the confidential telephone exchanges between the Japanese Consulate in Honolulu and Japan. He suspects that the main combined fleet of the Japanese Navy wants to attack the US Pacific Fleet's station." Mao Renfeng said. .
