"Koga-san, are you here to ask about a retired naval commander's affairs in the navy?!" Yamamoto Isoroku, wearing a kimono, met with Koga Hoichi in the study room of his home.

There was no expression on Yamamoto Isoroku's face, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. The newly appointed Commander of the Combined Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy, Koga Mineichi, looked deeply at the former commander.

Bowed deeply and said.

"Commander, please don't misunderstand me. I have no intention of humiliating you. In my opinion, this defeat is not a crime of war. According to the news from Oshima Hiro from Berlin, the Allied forces have

We have developed a technology that can detect and scan fighter planes and ships. This technology is called..."

"This technology is called radar!" Before Koga Mineichi could say anything, Yamamoto Isoroku directly interrupted Koga Mineichi's words. At this time, Yamamoto Isoroku finally had a look of relief on his face.

Although he lost, at least he knew where he failed.

"Hiroshi Oshima is of some use after all. Can you tell me what else he said?! Have the Allies equipped their ships with this kind of detection equipment?!"

Koga Mine bowed deeply to Yamamoto Isoroku. In this way, he expressed his respect for Yamamoto Isoroku. This famous naval admiral was worthy of being a famous general, and he could see the problem at a glance.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander. According to Oshima Hiro's information, after the British lost the naval battle, they handed over this radio wave detection method to other allies for research. The Americans also value this technology very much. The reason is

The Battle of Pearl Harbor that you once commanded..."

It can be said that both the United Kingdom and the United States have suffered losses in this regard, so they have invested heavily in radio wave reconnaissance technology in order to discover them first before the enemy.

In war, if you can discover the enemy before they discover you, you will have the upper hand against the enemy. At the same time, you can also calmly adjust your tactics to adapt to the enemy's attack or defense.

You can even use your reconnaissance skills to evade the enemy like Chen Shaokuan of the First Air Fleet of the National Defense Force, and then launch a fatal blow to them at the most critical moment.

"They must have improved this technology and equipped it on ships. They have also shared this technology with their allies..."

Yamamoto Isoroku sighed, stood up slowly, walked to the bookcase, took out a book and handed it to Koga Hoichi. Koga Hoichi quickly stood up and took the book respectfully.

But when I saw Mount Koga, I took a sharp look and couldn't help but take a breath. This book was clearly a description and application of radio wave detection technology published in 1928.

"In fact, I have been paying attention to radio wave detection technology for a long time. Unfortunately, our research has not made progress. Many technical problems cannot be overcome, and European and American countries are very strict about this technology, and we have no way to obtain much.

Information on this..."

Yamamoto Isoroku smiled bitterly. He still had some specific situations that he did not tell. The situation of the Imperial Navy at that time was actually not good. It was facing the reduction of personnel and ships, and it was unable to strengthen investment in this area.

Later, it entered a state of war. At the beginning, the Japanese army did obtain certain resources and funds on the Chinese battlefield. However, these were exhausted in the subsequent defeat.

Before Yamamoto Isoroku could invest these funds in research and development, these funds were forced to be used in the research and development and construction of the navy's new fighter aircraft.

The research team formed at that time was summoned and disbanded several times. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the navy's R&D personnel to come up with any feasible technical solutions.

"Koga...I'm very pleased that you came to see me today. But what I want to say is that we have lost the war now. In fact, this point has been made by His Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Kaningu, and Prince Fushimi

Your Highness, you know it all in your heart..."

Yamamoto Isoroku looked at Koga Hoichi and said: "In my earliest strategic plan, we first severely damaged the U.S. Navy at Pearl Harbor to gain a buffer period of half a year to a year. Then we used the resources of China and Southeast Asia to expand the empire.

The navy is fully armed and will eventually engage in the ultimate decisive battle with the U.S. military in the Pacific!"

"It is a pity that the strategy I proposed has not been implemented. In other words, the strategy I proposed has not been accepted by everyone." Yamamoto Isoroku said with a wry smile: "We should have withdrawn when we lost the battlefield in China.

Get out of there. We shouldn't even attack China. This is really a bad move by those horse turds in the Army!"

Koga Mineichi bowed deeply to Yamamoto Isoroku, but did not dare to answer the question. Now that the Japanese Army is severely suppressing the Navy, the Philippine Campaign has become their best excuse.

The people in the Army wanted to reduce the entire Navy and merge it into the Army. However, their own performance was not good. As the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet, Koga Mineichi had to be even more cautious in his words and actions.

.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. It won't help even if we regret it now. I know the purpose of your coming today. But what I want to say is: we have no chance, just wait quietly on the mainland for the end of the war!"

Yamamoto Isoroku looked at Koga Hoiichi and said: "Don't have any delusions. This war has actually been doomed for us to fail from the moment the alliance agreement was signed. The glimmer of hope I am fighting for is accurate.

In fact, we are trying to gain some capital for us after the war..."

Saying that, Yamamoto Isoroku sat on the chair and sighed: "But what I didn't expect was that the technology of the National Defense Forces would develop so fast. It has even surpassed us in some aspects, so I think this

The war is over for us..."

"But we still need to defend our homeland! Your Excellency, Commander!" Kogamine raised his head and said tremblingly: "It is true that we cannot carry out external wars for the time being. But our homeland still needs to be defended..."

"It's useless, Koga." Yamamoto Isoroku looked at Koga Hoichi and said with some pity: "The empire is already frightened by China. Our earliest strategy should not include occupying the entire China. This is

The deadliest."

"It's a pity that our army is too confident. They spend a lot of troops and resources there, but they forget about our most important threat-the United States!"

"Such negative consequences have already emerged. The technical and resource support provided by the United States has enabled the National Defense Forces to transform from a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country into a powerful country that can stand on equal footing with the empire to a certain extent."

"We have already lost our best opportunity. If we continue to fight reluctantly at this time, we will only intensify our casualties and suffer even greater destruction. Apart from that, there is no other use..."

Koga Mine opened his mouth and wanted to say something. But he found that he seemed to be unable to say anything. He could only say no more.

"Bushou Miyamoto Musashi-sama once said, 'People should have a heart of fear. They should have eyesight, discernment, and be sure to recognize the pros and cons of things.' I deeply believe this statement and take it as a warning." Yamamoto Fifty-six

Liu looked at Koga Hoichi and said: "One of the biggest failures of the empire is the loss of fear. And the most serious problem is the loss of vision and discernment. So we failed..."

"If at this time, we still don't have this kind of vision and discernment, then the only thing waiting for us is to be destroyed." Yamamoto Isoroku said, leaning on his chair and sighing: "The war is over for us.

Leave a trace of vitality for the Japanese Empire..."

Tokyo, Japan. In the residence of Fushimi Palace Hiroshi, the resigned prince drank one cup after another of sake. This is one of the few good benefits for a prince at this time when supplies are scarce.

After all, Hirohito did not deprive him of the title of prince, which was the last comfort for him. And the person sitting in front of Fushimi Palace and drinking sake with him was the current highest official of the base camp - Kanin Miyazai

Benevolence!

"Your Majesty is very angry right now, and I can't speak for you. After a while, Your Majesty will call you back to take charge of the navy. After all, no one in charge of the navy will be better than someone from our royal family."

Saying that, Xianyuan Gong Zairen raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"You really can't blame him for what happened to Yamamoto. News came from Hiroshi Oshima that the Allies have developed a technology that can use radio waves to detect ships and fighter planes. According to our combat records, Yamamoto has been very cautious.

His reconnaissance planes have never stopped conducting reconnaissance. Unfortunately, the Allies kept this technology secret so that we knew nothing about it..."

Prince Fushimi Gongbo put down his wine glass, glanced at Kanin Gong Zai Ren with dull eyes and said: "Prince Kanin Gong... I no longer want to return to the military. Maybe I can retire here. For

For me, it’s the best destination…”

Hearing this, a flash of green energy flashed across Hanin Gong Zaijin's face, clearly extremely angry. He paused, put down his wine glass and looked at Fushimi Gong Hiro and said: "Fushimi Palace! You are a soldier of the Empire of Japan! You are still a soldier of the Empire of Japan!

The royal family of the Japanese Empire! How about..."

"His Majesty Kanin Palace, to be honest, do you think it is still possible for the empire to win?!" Prince Fushimi Palace Hiro slowly put down his wine glass. He looked at Kanin Palace and asked, "In other words, we can still support it.

By the end of the war?!"

Xianyuan Gong Zairen couldn't help but froze when he heard the words, pursed his lips and said nothing.

In fact, anyone can see that the current situation in Japan is not optimistic. The army is almost useless, and the navy cannot go to distant seas due to lack of fuel.

The National Defense Forces Navy, which has formed a certain combat effectiveness, poses a certain threat to the Japanese Navy due to its advantage in reconnaissance technology. But if it sticks to its homeland, how long can Japan sustain it due to lack of resources?!

Defending the homeland is undoubtedly a huge joke. Hanyuan Gong Zairen himself does not believe that he can defend the homeland.

The reason why the National Defense Forces have not launched a full-scale attack on Japan is probably because the casualties are too high. After all, Japan still has a large number of land aviation units and naval fleets.

Under such circumstances, the National Defense Forces had no confidence that they could capture Japan in long-distance operations. But as time went by, the National Defense Forces would eventually be able to equip as many aircraft carriers and escort fleets as the Japanese.

By then, the U.S. Pacific Fleet had also recovered. Under attack from both sides, Japan, which had no resources to produce, could guess what the final outcome would be.

"I believe that His Majesty cannot be unaware of this situation. I even think that His Majesty has probably thought of today, right?!" King Fushimi Gongbo drank all the sake in his cup.

"Let us wait for the destruction of the royal family and the fall of Japan. If it is a peaceful surrender, maybe we can still maintain a trace of vitality. If we insist on resisting..."

Prince Fushimi Miyabo put down his wine glass and tapped the saury on the table with his chopsticks: "Then what will be left to Japan will be ruins..."

"Wow~" Xianyuan Gong Zairen stood up suddenly and overturned the entire low table at once! This sudden movement frightened the guards outside the door and quickly opened the door to see what happened.

"Fushimi Palace! I didn't expect that this battle would destroy all your ambitions! Do you know what you look like now?! You are like a quail in a grass nest. The slightest disturbance will kill you.

Terrified!"

Kanin Gong Zaijin yelled at Fushimi Palace with anger on his face: "Don't forget! We haven't lost this war yet. Our German allies have already arrived in Moscow. I believe they will be able to capture Moscow in the near future."

.The Soviet Union will collapse by then, and the German army will cross the Bering Strait and directly enter Canada, and then the United States!"

"And we will achieve the final victory of the war together with the German army!" Xianyuan Gong Zairen took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"Just wait, I will bring you news of victory. Believe me, the empire does not lack people like you. And you, just carry your fear in your quail grass nest. Die of old age!"

After saying this, Hanyuan Gong Zairen strode out of the room without looking back.

When the guards saw the two princes arguing, they didn't dare to come forward. When they saw Kanin Gong Zai Ren was about to leave, they quickly moved out of the way. But Fushimi Gong Hiro Wang still looked the same, holding the untouched hand in his hand.

The wine glass that was broken by the overturning table was still being poured and drank by oneself.

"Clean up this place, and put some sake and saury on the table for me later..." Prince Fushimi Miyabo held the wine glass and walked out of the room slowly.

"Hai..." The guards responded quickly, and then asked the servants to clean the room. At the same time, they ordered them to go to the kitchen to prepare saury and sake. The guards who were serving His Highness recently found that His Highness's temper was much better. The only request is

You must prepare saury and sake for him.

This is one of the few hobbies he has now, and His Highness will get angry if he is not fully prepared.

Although Kanin Palace scolded Fushimi Miyabo-wang and even turned around and left. But he knew in his heart that what Fushimi Miyabo-wang said was actually the truth.

Hirohito has now begun to prepare for surrender, and members of the royal family have gradually withdrawn from the army and even the government. The army and cabinet, at least on the surface, appear to be out of the control of the royal family.

Kanin Gong Zaihito also received Hirohito's request to withdraw from the base camp after selecting a successor.
