"Wike Island is now facing a large-scale attack by the US military. A division guarding Wake Island is now facing the attack of two special mixed formation groups of the US military..."

In Tokyo, Japan, Tojo Hideki is listening to the report in the Imperial Base Camp. During this period of time, none of the news Japan can get is good.

The German army lost the Battle of Moscow and was forced to retreat to positions outside the core area of ​​Moscow after suffering hundreds of thousands of casualties. Due to the huge losses of the navy and the shortage of oil, the fleet was unable to conduct long-distance patrols.

Therefore, the Japanese army could not contact the defense line in the Pacific at all, and the US military took the opportunity to launch an attack on the Pacific islands. Starting from Hawaii, their first stop was at Wake Island, the "stepping stone of the Pacific"

superior.

This island towering in the Pacific Ocean has become the stepping stone for the US military to attack the Japanese mainland. Although there are some army aviation fighters and reconnaissance aircraft on the island, it and the three aircraft carriers of the US Army's 16th Task Force and 17th Task Force

, compared with more than twenty support ships, this is just a drop in the bucket.

The three U.S. aircraft carriers carry more than 230 fighter planes, while the Japanese Army Air Force on Wake Island only has less than 50 fighter planes.

The huge disparity in numbers caused the Japanese army to fall into a bitter battle from the beginning.

"Wake Island must be defended. This is the choke point from the Pacific to the Empire! We must not let the Americans occupy this place!" Hideki Tojo clicked on the table and said: "We still have a chance, as long as our allies win

Victory on the Soviet battlefield is equivalent to victory for us!"

"Call the commander of the Wake Island garrison division. In the name of the base camp, I order him to defend Wake Island! At least he must defend it for more than a month!" Hideki Tojo waved his hand and said: "Tell the Navy's Koga Peak

One, I will collect enough fuel for him to sail within ten days! The US military fleet will be dealt with by them!"

Sitting in the most remote part of the conference room, Ishihara smiled sarcastically. In his opinion, the decision made by Tojo Hideki, a superior soldier, was extremely stupid.

Is the US fleet so easy to deal with?! If we were sure, Yamamoto Isoroku would not have used sneak attacks back then. Now the US fleet has been repaired and has restored most of its strength.

At this time, we have to let the navy go to death. Isn’t this a brain defect? ​​Even if the complete Japanese navy faces the US Navy, the outcome is only a 50-50 outcome.

The now crippled Japanese Navy, under the leadership of Isoroku Yamamoto, is trying to annihilate the US fleet. Ishihara Kanji can fully imagine what they will encounter on the sea.

"Ishihara! Do you have any different opinions? If so, you can raise them now." Although Ishihara Wanji was kicked to the edge, Tojo Hideki did not dare to go too far.

After all, Ishihara Wanji is a person with a certain reputation, and he is also a confidant of Hanin Gong Zaijin. Killing him, Kanin Gong Zaihi may not be willing.

"Oh, no, sir. I don't have any objections. Just do as you wish." Ishihara stood up lazily, bowed to Tojo casually and said, "I'm not feeling well."

Feel comfortable, then I'll take my leave now. I believe that the Commander-in-Chief will handle all the battle matters well..."

After saying that, Ishihara Wanji walked straight out of the conference room without waiting for Tojo Hideki to agree. Tojo Hideki looked at Ishihara Wanji and was so angry that he wanted to kill someone!

This was not the first time that Kanji Ishihara had done this. He had not given face to the new chief executive in several meetings. This made Tojo very angry.

Although the other generals had expressionless faces, they were laughing miserably in their hearts. In fact, most of these generals were from mainland China, and they simply looked down on Hideki Tojo, a superior soldier.

But everyone still had to do some superficial work, so although everyone wanted to walk away as gracefully as Ishihara Wanji did, no one did it after all.

"Your Excellency, President, let's continue the meeting..." After Ishihara Wanji walked out, the venue fell into a strange and embarrassing atmosphere. Seeing this, Tojo's secretary could only deliberately speak up to help Tojo Hideki.

"Well... Since Ishihara-kun is not feeling well, let him go to rest. Let's continue the meeting!" Tojo Hideki saw the flash of smiles in the eyes of the generals present.

Hideki Tojo continued, "Although the navy will support Wake Island, we cannot easily abandon Guam and the Mariana Islands! During this period, we should send more troops. There are many islands in these islands."

Build fortifications to resist the imminent attack by the US military..."

"The Iwo Jima area is the focus of the focus. It is related to the lifeblood of the empire! If it is not lost easily, the National Defense Force and Navy are temporarily unable to launch an attack on our homeland. So I decided to let all the elites of the empire go to Guam and defend the Iwo Jima area...

"

Regardless of whether they were convinced by Tojo Hideki or not, this superior soldier was their commander-in-chief. All Japanese generals had to obey his orders.

After the general strategy was determined, a large number of Japanese troops began to be mobilized. But to Tojo's surprise, Koga Mineichi of the Navy actually rejected Tojo's proposal.

"Koga! What do you mean?! Now that the empire is on the verge of life and death, do you still have to worry about your petty thoughts?!" Tojo Hideki was extremely annoyed and directly asked Koga Mineichi to see him.

Koga Mineichi could not refuse this request and could only go to the base camp to explain.

"Your Excellency, I have no intention of offending you. But what I want to explain is, do you think it will be effective for our fleet to go to Wake Island to fight?! Or, how long can our navy's sacrifice preserve Wake Island?!"

Tojo Hideki was dumbfounded. To be honest, he really couldn't answer these questions. The order he just gave contained some elements of anger. He simply believed that since the US Navy was dispatched, the Imperial Navy should also be dispatched.

As for fuel, he will collect it for the Navy. The same goes for fighter planes. He will use the limited steel to produce fighter planes for the Navy to supply their combat needs.

"Malu Yelang! Do we have to watch the empire's islands fall and watch our warriors fight without doing anything?! Are such soldiers still members of the empire?!"

Hideki Tojo, who was so angry that he could not do anything else, was very good at using big names and sensational tactics. For example, at the end of World War II, he constantly advocated for "all people to be broken into pieces".

It's a pity that this guy just encouraged others to commit suicide. He still cherished his own life. In the end, even if he fell down and had no choice but to commit suicide by caesarean section in accordance with the Bushido spirit, he committed suicide with a gun.

It was just that he shot himself with a gun, but he still managed to survive after being shot crookedly. He was so humiliated that he was eventually dragged out and hanged like a dog.

"Of course we must care about the sacrifices of the Empire's warriors, but what we must care more about is how to defend the Empire's homeland!" Koga Mineichi suppressed his anger and said to Tojo Hideki.

"Wake Island is obviously undefendable. Why are we wasting our troops at this time?! We should concentrate all our limited forces to defend the mainland's outer island circle..."

"Traitor! Are you asking me to give up the empire's territories?! Those territories were conquered by the empire's predecessors with their blood and lives. As a soldier, I cannot give up!!"

Tojo Hideki was accustomed to speaking in an awe-inspiring manner, while Koga Mineichi was completely angered. But he also stood up and roared loudly.

"Aside from these useless nonsense, can you make any effective decisions?! Who doesn't know that those are the empire's territories?! Who doesn't know that those were conquered by the emperor's people with their blood and lives? ?!"

"But what capital do we have to defend those places first?! Without Southeast Asia, our oil has been cut off. To put it bluntly, we are waiting to die now! If we can survive the US attack on us, We can still survive for a while, and we may even have a chance to surrender to the United States and save the empire..."

"Makanoro! Coward! Traitor!! As a soldier, can you only surrender but not fight?!" Hideki Tojo was furious, pointed at Koga Mineichi and roared: "In Tojo's dictionary There is no surrender, only fighting and dying for the empire! And a navy like yours probably only has the idea of ​​surrender in its mind?! What else can you do?!"

After all, Koga Hoiichi is just a soldier. He is no match for an old politician like Tojo Hideki when it comes to swearing and confusing right and wrong. However, he saw that his face turned blue and white with anger for a while before he gritted his teeth and said.

"I finally understand why we failed, because there are too many 'superior soldiers' in the empire! These fools only know how to charge, but don't know how to fight! That's why we fail, and keep failing!"

"Damn it! Come on! Drag this traitor out!" Hideki Tojo hated being called a superior soldier. Koga Hoichi's words touched the most painful part of him.

"I want to get rid of your position! People like you shouldn't stay in the heroic Imperial Army! Working with you is the biggest stain in my life..."

"Idiot army horse shit! You can only hold some skin and fish bones in your mind, right?! I advise you to get out of here and don't let the heroic soldiers of the empire die in this position..."

Having broken his skin, Koga Mineichi also cursed Tojo Hideki unceremoniously. Anyway, the army and navy have always been mortal enemies, and this kind of scolding did not happen once or twice. Koga Mineichi did not think that Tojo Hideki What qualifications and powers do you have to remove yourself from your position?

"That private? He can take care of 20 machine guns in the warehouse. I believe it. It's hard to say if there are more than 20;... This private can take the trouble to write down everything in his notebook. But how to use these notes? It's beyond his capabilities..."

At the same time, Ishihara Wanji sneered in a tavern outside the base camp, holding a wine glass and saying to the office building of the base camp: "Come! Here's to our commander-in-chief who has a stone in his head, I hope he will not let the empire's soldiers
