On December 6, 1941, two days before the air strike on Pearl Harbor, bad news spread to the official residence of Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo.

The five aircraft carriers and five heavy cruisers of the US Pacific Fleet may have the possibility of exercises leaving Pearl Harbor. However, the UK's emergency retreat from Hong Kong, the United States withdrew expatriates and soldiers from the Philippines, and all ships of the US Asian Fleet left Krabi, etc., all of the US and Britain have clearly shown such a fact that the United States and Britain must have learned that Japan will start a war in early December.

It’s impossible to attack or something!

The remaining way now is to attack and fight hard, just by whether the US Pacific Fleet is powerful or the Japanese Joint Fleet can fight?

"Baga!" Tojo Hideki couldn't help but curse at the cabinet meeting on December 6, "The First Mobile Fleet has indeed been discovered by the Americans! I knew Yamamoto's Z-combat plan would not work, Yamamoto, this big fool!"

Navy Minister Shimada Shintaro, who had just come to power, turned pale when he heard Tojo's words. This idiot Tojo Hideki wants to blame the Navy for his defeat, which is not possible!

"Prime Minister, there is no evidence that the First Mobile Fleet has been discovered by the Americans. Moreover, although the US military in Pearl Harbor has improved its combat readiness level, it has not entered a state of war. Instead, the British and American troops in the Philippines and Malaya are facing a great enemy." Shimada Shintaro quickly spoke up and pushed the blame far away. "This shows that the First Mobile Fleet was not discovered... The combat readiness of the Americans and the British is likely to be due to someone missing the news of the war."

Leaked the news? Tojo looked at Shimada and thought that the person who leaked the news must not be the army. The army is all loyal and patriotic, and the traitors are either navy people or the "Anglic and American" diplomats from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!

"Shida-kun, there may be a leak now!" said Hideki Tojo, "Then we should find out where the problem happened, otherwise there will be a leak next time... If this continues, the empire will lose the initiative in the war!"

"Prime Minister, is it possible that the Americans deciphered our telegram password?" Shintaro Shimada raised a possibility at this time. In fact, the Japanese Navy Command has also been looking for reasons internally in the past two days, checking the background of all the people who might have been exposed to the "z-combat plan", but they all looked like loyal ministers of His Majesty the Emperor, and they could not be American spies at all.

Therefore, the Navy Command finally proposed the "only possibility", and the telegram made people decipher it.

"Then change the password as soon as possible," Hideki Tojo made a decision immediately. "The passwords of the Navy, Army and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must be completely replaced."

Hideki Tojo also felt that it was possible that the telegram would be deciphered. If it weren't for the first mobile fleet being discovered, it would be that the telegram would have been deciphered. In fact, the United States and the Soviet Union have been trying to figure out how to decipher Japan's code, and both have achieved considerable results. Now the secret telegram sent by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Embassy in the United States can be deciphered soon.

At this time, Foreign Minister Shige Togo did not expect that his secret telegram sent to Ambassador to the United States Yoshisaburo Nomura would have allowed Colonel Donovan to take a look first. Togo, who had served as ambassador to the Soviet Union for a long time, still thought of internationalist fighters at this time.

"Prime Minister, now the Soviet Union and the United States are getting close to each other and are almost forming an alliance." Dongxiang frowned, looking like a big trouble was about to come. "And the Third International controlled by the Soviet Union has been infiltrating our empire for a long time. This leak is likely to be the result of the cooperation between the United States and the Soviet Union..."

Cooperation between the United States and the Soviet Union!

It sounds very scary, but such a thing is happening. The relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union was really good during this period. The Soviet Union even approved the American company to invest in the second Baku oil field and sell cars within its territory for the first time.

Such things are not allowed during the new economic policy period, but now they have happened. This shows that the US-Soviet cooperation is already quite close, and it is only a matter of time before it forms an alliance.

The US-Soviet alliance is almost a disaster for Japan. After all, the Soviet Union and Germany have not yet started fighting. If the Soviet Union beat Japan with the United States, Hitler and Hessman would probably breathe a sigh of relief. There is no need to worry about the Soviet Union stabbing the knife in the back. They can finally beat the British happily!

"Our empire and the Soviet Union have signed a non-aggression treaty. The Soviet Union should not betrayal, right?" Hideki Tojo looked at Togo Shigeto.

Togo Moto shook his head and said, "The Soviet Union is not credible. If it is profitable, it is possible to betray Japan."

Hideki Tojo snorted coldly and said, "If that were the case, the Imperial Army would definitely hit the Soviet army head-on. Maybe the problems of the North and China can be solved once and for all."

The US imperialists have not yet completed the process and want to challenge the Soviet Union! Hideki Tojo's bull is almost bragging, but after bragging, it still has to solve practical problems.

There are two practical problems: one is to strengthen anti-G spies, and we must strictly investigate the Third International spies; the other is how to continue the war against the United States. Although the war has not yet been fought, there are already signs of an unfavorable start.

"Prime Minister, the Navy is confident that it can win in Hawaii!" Navy Minister Shintaro Shimada gritted his teeth and expressed his opinion.

Now the First Mobile Fleet is carrying out the last refueling before launching a surprise attack. After the fuel is filled, the fleet will move towards the offensive position north of Oahu at a high speed of 24 knots. Air strikes will be launched in the early morning of December 8!

It can be said that the arrow is on the string now. If it is not launched, the Japanese Empire will be completely overwhelmed by the United States and the Soviet Union in terms of momentum. Moreover, in order to carry out this offense, the Joint Fleet has consumed a lot of fuel reserves. If it is given up now, it is hard to say whether the Joint Fleet still has enough fuel to launch another comprehensive offensive.

Moreover, Japan's retreat now does not mean that the United States will not make any excuses to pounce on Japan's fallen dog with the Soviet Union.

Hideki Tojo has figured out the benefits and interests in a blink of an eye. Japan now must rush forward with a tough bullet and fight for a bloody path!

"Okay!" Tojo touched his bald head, "that official is waiting for Commander Natsumoto's good news in Tokyo!"

...

"Discover an airplane! It's very fast at 8 o'clock. Prince, go and have a look with me."

At this time, Hessman was leading a four-finger formation to idling over the Japanese First Mobile Fleet. He suddenly found a single-engine small plane drilling out of the clouds. He thought it was a "comet" dive bomber for the search mission flew back. However, because it was too far away and could not see clearly, he asked Prince Lipp Wesenfield to lean forward and take a look.

After two zero-type planes flew for a while, Hessman finally realized that it was indeed a "comet". Then he said to Prince Lipp Wesenfield via radio: "It's a "comet". Let's go back now and continue to be alert."

Then little Hessman turned around and flew back. After flying for a while, he didn't hear the prince's answer. He knew something was wrong, so he quickly looked around and found that the prince's plane did not follow him.

"Damn the radio station!" Little Hessman muttered, he knew it was the airborne radio station that had something wrong again.

Although the Japanese carefully created dozens of Japanese versions of the Folk Zero based on German drawings (the Japanese number is Zero 024), these aircraft still have various problems, and the most common problem is that the radio station produced by Toshiba Ura Electric is always broken. No wonder those Japanese pilots like to dismantle the radio stations on the Zero aircraft. It is better to use this radio to save worry. However, fighter pilots can play sign language, and pilots who fly the "comet" dive bomber for reconnaissance can also inform the rear of the news in sign language? If they really do something with the US aircraft carrier, such a broken radio station will delay major issues.

When Hessman was worried for the Japanese devils, the Zero 024 aircraft driven by Prince Lip Wessenfield had already escorted a "comet" dive bomber over. It turned out that the broken one was Hessman's radio station. Hessman and Prince Lip Wessenfield talked in sign language and handed over the command of the 4-plane detachment to the prince.

In the bridge of the Akagi aircraft carrier, Nagayun Takaichi, who had red eyes, had not closed his eyes for several days and nights, saw a "Comet" plane parked steadily on the flight deck, and then turned around to ask the staff behind him: "Are you still not finding anything?"

"No discovery," said Aviation Staff Shizuda. "The aircraft is already 500 kilometers north of Oahu. If we go south, we will easily encounter American reconnaissance planes. It seems that we have not been discovered by Americans."

Nakayama frowned and whispered: "Now the fleet is more than 600 nautical miles away from Oahu. Except for long-range bombers like B-17, the combat radius of most American aircraft cannot reach the Japanese fleet. Therefore, even if the Americans have discovered the First Mass Fleet, they will pretend to know nothing. They will ambush five aircraft carriers into the waters south of Hawaii, and first use shore-based aircraft on Oahu to fight us... According to intelligence, there are hundreds of combat aircraft on Oahu!"
