Chapter 1076 Japan doesn't really want to fight

"Why must we fight the final battle in the Hawaiian Islands? We can completely deceive the Germans, they won't know. Even if they know, what can we do to us?"

"Yes, there is no certainty in the decisive battle at present, and even if you win, the joint fleet will inevitably be severely damaged..."

"And now Americans have used bacterial weapons on our local area. If the war continues like this, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Japan, the Kuril Islands, and the Sawama Island. In the commander's cabin of the Yamato flagship, the flagship of the Japanese Joint Fleet, Commander Tadaichi Nagamo and Chief of Staff Ryunosuke Kusato are having a secret talk with Ito Kanichi who came to convey the orders of the military command.

Tadaichi Nagamo and Ryunosuke Kusato have been commanding the joint fleet to deal with the Americans for more than three months, and have led the fleet to attack several times to cover the operation to reinforce the Hawaiian Islands.

However, they have never found a chance to fight the fleet, because the size of the US fleet is too large, covering a large ocean area south of the Hawaiian Islands. Moreover, the Americans have carefully hidden their main aircraft carrier formations, making it difficult for the Japanese side to determine their locations. This will not be able to launch suicide missile assaults, and even conventional aviation war strikes are difficult to carry out.

Although the escort aircraft carriers in the United States are easy to find, their strike value is not high.

In addition, the large number of p-47ds deployed on Niho Island also made Tadaichi Nagamo and Ryunosuke Kusato feel very agitated.

The p-47d is equipped with an air-cooled r-2800-21w type air-cooled engine with 2300 horsepower (opening water injection can reach 2535 horsepower) and a turbocharger. It not only has excellent performance at high altitudes, but also can undertake dual tasks of high altitude interception and penetration.

Moreover, the p-47d is a very sturdy and bomb-carrying aircraft. It has a full weight of up to 9387 kilograms, has strong armor, and a large range. The fuel tank in the aircraft can support 1,658 kilometers, and an external plug-in capability of up to 1,113 kilograms. It can hang a secondary fuel tank or bomb.

The P-47d, which has high altitude, high speed, large range and greater plug-in capabilities, is a bit like the German universal aircraft FW-190, and is a multi-purpose aircraft that can be used as a fighter bomber.

Because the p-47's fuselage is very strong, this aircraft is difficult to shoot down when performing ground and sea attack missions.

Its excellent performance and powerful firepower at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters are enough to break through the obstacles of any Japanese fighter.

In other words, as long as the main force of the Japanese joint fleet drove to the P-47d combat radius on Niho Island, they could only watch the heavy, fast and sturdy American aircraft with hundreds of kilograms of bombs breaking through the protection of the straight cover aircraft, and then perform shallow dive and drop bombs.

Although the US Army aircraft conducts ship attacks, the effect is that it cannot be compared with naval aircraft that specifically deal with ships (mainly the technical differences of pilots), Tadaichi Nagamo and Ryunosuke Kusato are not willing to take this risk with their precious fleets.

In addition to the above two reasons, the increasing rampant US military combat operations and the Japanese base's determination that the United States is using submarines to place anthrax bacteria on Japan is also the reason why Tadaichi Nagamo and Ryunosuke Kusato are unwilling to fight to the decisive battle.

Due to the combined role of US submarines, mines and derail fleets (usually composed of class aircraft carriers, Cleveland-class light cruisers and Fletcher-class destroyers), the amount of supplies transported from the South Ocean is rapidly declining.

If the escort cannot be strengthened as soon as possible or make peace with the United States, at most, Japan will not be able to provide enough fuel for the joint fleet to use in a few months to a year.

The escort operation also requires a large amount of surface ships, especially to deal with the United States' small fleet of destruction and destruction, it is necessary to deploy aircraft carriers. If the joint fleet suffered heavy damage in the Battle of the Hawaiian Islands, what else can Japan use to protect its maritime lifeline?

If even the lifeline at sea cannot be protected, what else can Japan use to maintain the war?

Moreover, the United States' attack on Japan's mainland also makes people feel very aggravated. Although Japan is not lagging behind the United States in research on bacterial weapons, their medical level and pharmaceutical industry are much worse than those in the United States. It cannot produce penicillin that can treat anthrax at all, and can only use serum therapy that is not particularly effective, and there are certain dangerous serum therapy. Therefore, anthrax epidemics have broken out in many places now.

Therefore, Nagashi and Caolu didn't want to fight, so they just deal with the Germans.

"That won't work," said the Deputy Chief of Military Command Ito, shook his head, "The Germans will send observers to supervise the war! If we don't work hard, then... then they will consider signing a peace treaty with the United States and betray us!"

The Japanese naval masters who signed a treaty with the United States were made up for it by Yamamoto Iroku, Nagano Simplicity and Ito Jichi.

However, the possibility is actually very high! Because the Japanese Combined Fleet does not defeat the US Pacific Fleet, it will be difficult for the European Combined Fleet to win in the Atlantic-Caribbean war. If the naval battle cannot be won, there is no possibility of using the atomic bomb to force the US government to accept huge compensation.

Then selling Japan to the United States for thousands of tons of gold and millions of tons of grain was Hitler's only option - with the atomic bomb in hand and Japan can be sold, Roosevelt or the future US president would still do this deal.

Moreover, Japan deceived Germany first, and there was nothing morally wrong with Germany abandoning Japan - Germany even gave it an electromagnetic device to separate uranium-235, and even acquiesced to Japan to take over the Soviet Far East. If Japan doesn't know the truth again, it would be no wonder that Germany turned against others.

"Will you betray us?"

Nagamo Tadaichi and Kusato Ryunosuke looked at each other, and both seemed very worried. Nagamo shook his head and lowered his voice and said, "Since we know that Germany is not trustworthy, we should make peace with the United States... If Germany really defeats the United States with our help, Japan may be the next victim, right?"

Kusato Ryunosuke nodded and agreed with Natsuyun'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, Europe, the United States and Japan have three legs. Europe is the strongest, just like the Wei Kingdom in the past, followed by the United States, like a seated in Jingzhou and Shu Han in the two rivers, while our Japan is the Eastern Wu. Now, not only does Wu and Shu not unite to fight against Cao, but Dongwu also help Wei destroy Shu, in the future..."

The proposal of "Union of Shu to resist Cao" or "Union of Jin to resist Mongolia" (referring to the Bolsheviks) has not been proposed in Tokyo. However, after seeing the scene of the atomic bomb explosion, Hideki Tojo and the god in the imperial palace dared not really betray Germany.

"Let's talk about the future," Ito Kazuichi shook his head, "The guys in the army are too arrogant and think that as long as you take down the Far East, subdue East Asia, and guard Malacca and Hawaii, it will be enough to fight against the Europeans. And... this is also what the Highness Fushimi Palace means!"

Fushimi Miyagi Hakukong is the soundtrack of Emperor Showa. He himself has no meaning, only Emperor Showa means.

Tadichi Nagamo and Ryunosuke Kusou had nothing to say now.

...

Before dinner on June 28, Hessman had returned to his estate in Tsoson, the European Community Leaders' Meeting, which just ended that afternoon, and all parties finally reached an agreement on the issue of expedition to the Americas.

Hessman was rushing to return to Tsoson from Europa Fort, not because of any changes on the battlefield, but to see his son Rudolph off.

Rudolph is no longer the vice-chancellor of Brandenburg Jet Pilot School. He got a new mission a few days ago to travel to the Pacific as an observer for the German Navy. This is somewhat familiar to Rudolph, but this time the situation is different from before.

Hessman was so anxious to come back from Tsoson, in fact, to teach his son in person.

"What? Supervisor?" Rudolph was stunned by his father's words, "Father, is this really appropriate?"

Hessman talked to his son on the lawn of a big garden where he could run, and there were no one else around him.

"Of course it's appropriate." Hessman looked at his son in the handsome Naval Air Force's major uniform and smiled, "Rudolph, do you think Japan is still an equal partner of the empire now?"

"Isn't it?" Although Rudolf is Hessman's son, he did not know about the atomic bomb, nor did he know what kind of deal or tacit understanding had been reached between Japan and Germany.

"No more." Hessman shook his head and said, "Otherwise, you wouldn't have sent you to the Pacific... Our relationship with Japan is very delicate now, and they are almost forced by us to fight a battle they don't want to fight."

"Forcing?" Rudolph became even more confused. "Father, what can we do if the Japanese stop fighting?"

"They dare not!" Hessman said with great certainty, "but they may fight passively."

Japan has taken so many benefits from Germany and has been acquiesced to annex the Soviet Far East. If he dares not fight, it will be a betrayal of Germany, and the consequences will of course be very terrible!

"What if they fight passively?" Rudolph asked again. "What can we do?"

"Just tell me!" said Hessman. "Your mission is to supervise them and report their combat situation to the General Staff. This information is very critical!"

The United States is not easy to fight. If Japan does not fight desperately in the Hawaiian Islands, but lets the Pacific Fleet go all the way, the European Combined Fleet will not be sure of victory. Now the most excellent strike force of the US Navy is gathered near the Hawaiian Islands, which concentrates most of the naval veterans and experienced veteran carrier-based aircraft pilots (although many died in battle, some are still left).

If they were allowed to experience it in the Hawaiian Islands before going to the Atlantic Ocean, their combat experience will be more abundant and their performance on the battlefield will be more calm and calm. In addition to the huge numerical advantage of the US Navy, combat on the Atlantic-Caribbean Sea will become very difficult.

Perhaps… taking less money and stuff and then reaching a peace treaty with the United States to gain time for consolidation and development for the European Community is also an option to consider.
