The Japanese Navy is basically very pessimistic about the Mariana Islands, the core of the absolute defense circle. The strength of the US Navy is too strong to make the combined fleet desperate. This is not the case of General Yamamoto’s attack on Pearl Harbor. period.

The United States entered the wartime economy, and its huge industrial power exerted its terrifying war potential. There are 20 to 30 aircraft carriers at every turn, and more than 200 battleships, destroyers, cruisers and other combat ships. If you add landing ships, transport ships, etc., the number can be overwhelming. One to two flips, how do you fight?

"We are all old friends. If you need my help, please speak frankly. There is no need to cover up." Chen Mingxiang said.

He saw the expression that Nakajima Dazuo wanted to say, but he was embarrassed to say it. He knew that the Marine Corps had something to ask for his help, but the resources that the Navy can provide at the moment are indeed indescribable.

"I'm really sorry. In the course of the war with the U.S. Navy, the transport ships lost a large amount. The transport ships of our fleet in China have been recruited by the military command, which caused serious difficulties in transportation."

"For the entire Shanghai stock market and even the entire Central China region, only you now have a large-tonnage transport fleet. For this reason, the commander of the fleet, General Nobutake Kondo, called Major General Ono Ichiro to the headquarters yesterday and wanted to recruit you. Ships serve the navy.” Nakajima Osa said.

Chen Mingxiang had been prepared for this a long time ago. His fleet was too eye-catching. The Japanese Navy's China Front Fleet Command sold him three 10,000-ton freighters and leased two 9,000-ton ships and four 7,000-ton ships. Class and four 5,000-ton freighters, the rent is only 10,000 yuan per ship per month in the voucher. It is a hell if you don't get an idea!

"Of course, of course, as long as the imperial navy needs it, I can donate the entire fleet to the navy, there is no problem at all." Chen Mingxiang said.

That said, but he was sure in his heart that the Japanese navy would never do this. As long as the war continues, the other side will have to rely on him to purchase strategic materials for the navy, and the Marine Corps logistics supplies will also require his contribution. , Do things absolutely, how to talk in the future?

Moreover, the ships lost by the Japanese Navy can't play a decisive role with him. Therefore, he will leave him with a few low-tonnage ships.

"Thank you Chen Jun for supporting the Imperial Navy. Major General Ichiro Ohno decided to purchase three 10,000-ton freighters at the expense of the Imperial Navy. Two 9,000-ton ships and four 7,000-ton ships will no longer be leased. All Loss, I will give you four 5,000-ton freighters and another 300,000 US dollars."

"In the Pacific operations, the imperial navy suffered the most. A large number of ships needed to be built and repaired. Therefore, the demand for various materials increased sharply. However, the navy did not have the conditions of the army and could not produce the materials for exchange. , It can only be operated with gold dollars, in addition, there are a batch of legal currency."

"The Military Order requires the Kodama agency to provide financial support for this purchase. The head of the Kodama agency is already working on this matter. He will raise a dollar for you to purchase urgently needed rare metals and ores, as well as regular Tung oil, rosin, bristles, grains, etc." said Nakajima Osa.

It was a godlike operation. In the process of recovering Japanese navy ships, Chen Mingxiang didn't spend a penny and earned four 5,000-ton freighters, which belonged to him.

As for the shortage of supplies needed by the Japanese Navy, considering his own thinking, this kind of transaction is better to stop. Although a little material will not affect the war process, it will ultimately enhance the combat capability of the Japanese invaders. This is a criminal act.

If it were not for his own mission, he would have wanted to close the Huatong Trading Company, but now is not the time, let alone the Japanese side, even Boss Dai would not agree.

Subsequently, Chen Mingxiang and the Marine Corps headquarters successfully completed the handover procedures, received the money, and formally received four freighters. The problem that followed was that the crew became surplus.

His ships are technically managed by British and American seafarers, and local seafarers do the rest. The Japanese do not need his people to drive the ships, and he is reluctant to let his own people take such risks.

Therefore, he requested that all the crews of these ships be assigned to work on four freighters, and only a basic salary is usually provided, which is sufficient for living needs. Every time he goes to Tianjin and outside the customs, he will issue additional work subsidies, which is equivalent to raising all these people. stand up.

"Mingxiang, someone in Peiping sent you a gift." Wang Zhen said after receiving a call from the door. It was April 15th.

"Bring things in and let people wait at the concierge. I guess Yoshiko Kawashima's information has arrived." Chen Mingxiang said.

Sure enough, the gift was very expensive. Under the gift box, there was Yoshiko Kawashima about the North China Front Army Command and the Tenth Army Command.

Yoshiko Kawashima is a veteran of intelligence. She knows what is the point and the information in it also confirms that Chen Mingxiang's judgment is correct, but the time is more accurate.

"Power generation for Boss Dai. Lieutenant General Hidetaro Uchiyama, the 12th Army Command of the North China Front Army, will establish a forward command post in Zhandian Town, west of the railway bridge. The command post of General Ningji Okamura of the North China Front Army Command will be located in Makino."

"The battle sequence of the Japanese army participating in this offensive is: the Japanese 37th Division, the 62nd Division, the 110th Division, the 27th Division, and the Third Chariot Division. Seventh Brigade, 9th Independent Infantry Brigade and Fourth Cavalry Brigade."

"The enemy's 110th Division will take over the bridgehead. It will work with the 62nd Division and the 9th Independent Infantry Brigade as a frontal offensive force against Shangdu, the 37th Division and the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade. Gathering in the area west of Bianliang and the area west of Zhongmu, the 3rd Chariot Division and the 4th Cavalry Brigade will not do early attacks."

"The first round of attack aimed at Zhongmu. The battle started on the 17th, and the main attack date was on the 20th. In addition to the Ping-Han Railway, Luoyang was the focus of the attack," Chen Mingxiang said.

"Mingxiang, sending reports like this does not conform to the principle of military intelligence. Too accurate time will make us passive. Do you believe in Kawashima Yoshiko's ability? If the Japanese army's plan of action is changed for some reason What?" Wang Zhen didn't agree with this report.

The intelligence sent by the agents to the headquarters of the bureau is not random, but is jointly and severally liable, especially for such an extremely important military operation. If there is a deviation, the problem will be too great.

Therefore, according to the tacit rules, when the date is involved, it can be a little bit ahead or ambiguous, and it should not be too accurate, because the enemy's plan is also variable.
