Chapter 207 Come on, it’s very fat here! (Third update!) "Your Excellency, Commander, the enemy ship has surrendered." At this moment, in the island command room of the aircraft carrier Hayabusa, an officer came to Nagumo Chuichi and reported excitedly. Such a lossless achievement is indeed worthy of celebration. After all, after the Battle of Midway, the morale of the Japanese Navy dropped to freezing point. Many naval officers looked even more desperate and even began to behave badly. Four aircraft carriers and more than a hundred elite flight crews were lost. They are all naval elites, which has a great impact on morale. It’s just that they didn’t expect that they would be able to annihilate the British fleet now. Morale, which was originally low, swelled again. Although it was German submarines that contributed this time, without Japanese destroyers to attract firepower, they would not have been able to achieve such a proud record.
"Well, send a message to the German submarine and congratulate them for sinking a battleship again." Nagumo Chuichi couldn't suppress the smile on his lips, but he still suppressed the smile and sent a message to Colonel Rutte first. “Hai.” The first mate responded immediately. “What about these warships? There are still so many prisoners?” The first officer hesitated. After all, their mission was to attack the British fleet in Alexandria Port. As a result, so many battleships have been captured now, and they must be dealt with. You can’t bring them all with you, right? "What do you think?" Nagumo Chuichi didn't know how to solve it. Could it be that he was sent to a prisoner-of-war camp again? Wouldn’t it mean that the prepared sneak attack plan had to be shelved? For these warships, the sneak attack plan was shelved? Chūichi Nagumo is not a fool. “Your Excellency, Commander, why don’t you gather all these prisoners on a battleship? Then…” The first mate made a gesture of wiping his neck. Hearing this, Nayun Zhongyi shook his head. "No, they have surrendered, according to..." Nagumo Chuichi originally wanted to talk about the "Geneva Convention", but it turned out that they had not joined it at all. In other words, this thing was of no use to them. “Let’s do this, first gather the prisoners on the transport ship, and then use torpedoes to sink them all to the bottom of the sea.” After weighing the pros and cons, Nagumo Chuichi decided to send these people away. As for those battleships, they were captured by the Japanese army. Originally, the Japanese army lacked battleships. With these battleships, at least they would be more confident for the next battle. As for how to distribute it, we have to wait until the war is over to consider the distribution. Not long after, all the sailors on the British warships were transferred to the transport ships. The battleships were taken over by Japanese sailors. Originally, the Japanese navy came from the British Royal Navy, so they were very familiar with Japanese battleships. Soon, the remaining four battleships were able to sail with the Japanese fleet.
Two transport ships were torpedoed and sunk, and tens of thousands of British troops were buried deep in the sea. This time it can be considered as poking a hornet's nest. Especially Montgomery in Alexandria, who immediately judged that something must have happened after not contacting Lieutenant General Wipper for a long time. Sure enough, a telegram stated that the task force led by Wippel was attacked. Among them, the battleship Warrior was attacked by a German submarine and sank to the bottom of the sea. Lieutenant General Weiper was also buried together. The remaining warships saw that the situation was not good and chose to surrender. This is a telegram sent by the captain of a destroyer before the surrender. "Encountered a Japanese warship? Was the Warrior sunk? All the other warships were wiped out?" After hearing this, Montgomery's eyes were red, and he was in a state of rage, ready to run away at any time. “These **** yellow-skinned monkeys, savages…” He almost gnashed his teeth and cursed angrily, and Barton next to him was also stunned. He was very dissatisfied with Montgomery's private deployment of an elite division. After all, the Battle of El Alamein was about to take place. He was transferred to North Africa not long ago and is currently responsible for training the . Western Front Task Force to land in North Africa. He came to the port of Alexandria. In addition to inspecting the landing site, he also conducted battlefield observation. Because according to the plan, the British army was about to conduct the Battle of Alamein, so in order to test the real combat effectiveness of the German army, he specially chose Alexandria for training work. As soon as he arrived, Montgomery transferred an elite division. This made him a little dissatisfied, because the German army was very strong, and an elite division was transferred at this time. What could the British army do to deal with the German army? As a result, Montgomery confidently stated that the British army would definitely win. As for why he is confident, he doesn’t know. But now, this elite infantry division was a prisoner. Not only that, a battleship was also sunk. This wave of losses is really too great. Of course, General Patton also understood that Tianzhu was too important to the British Empire. Without Tianzhu, the British army may not be able to hold on at all. At that time, I am afraid it will really decline completely. “It shouldn’t be, how could a Japanese warship appear here?” After reading the telegram, Patton kept drawing lines on the map, and finally came to the conclusion that there would never be a Japanese warship here. "According to intelligence, all the Japanese army's main warships are concentrated in the Guadalcanal area and are recovering. It is impossible to have more warships to patrol here. Moreover, according to the content of the telegram, the number of the other side's warships clearly exceeds ours. This It was obviously a premeditated ambush." After listening to General Patton’s analysis, Montgomery’s eyes flashed with doubts.
Then he looked at Barton again and asked with a slight frown. “You mean, the intelligence was leaked?” "It's impossible to leak it. This mission is top secret. Normally, there are no more than five people who know the news. There is absolutely no way it can be done wrong." Montgomery did not believe the information would be leaked. Because that would be really terrible. Did Admiral Wavell betray the British Empire? No, absolutely impossible. As for Stilwell? He really doesn’t know! Because he was concentrating on whether he could win Southeast Asia as soon as possible, and he didn't think about this at all. Besides, his relationship with Admiral Wavell is not very good either. “Since it wasn’t leaked, there’s no way to explain why we were ambushed just when we got here?” General Patton spread his hands and said that if it wasn’t leaked, it was just a coincidence. But is it really such a coincidence? Who would believe it if I tell it? At least General Patton didn’t believe it. Obviously, Montgomery didn’t believe it either. After all, there is no such thing as such a coincidence in the world. Unless the Japanese fleet is preparing to attack Alexandria. In that case, the two sides may encounter each other. After all, the route is fixed, and the chance of encountering it is high. But what if the Japanese fleet comes to attack Alexandria? Isn’t that crazy? No! He must be crazy! This idea was immediately abandoned by him as soon as it came up. What a joke. The Japanese fleet dares to come to Alexandria? So if all impossibilities are eliminated, the remaining possibility is true.
"Asshole, there are spies inside us? Is it sent by the German army? Yes, it must be, otherwise it cannot be explained why there are German submarines." Montgomery roared angrily. “Don’t let me catch him, or I will hang him.” Regarding spies, all countries have the same approach, which is to hang them. At this moment, Montgomery was very sad. The elite infantry division of more than 10,000 people was just gone? In order to support Tianzhu, he mobilized the most elite infantry division in his hands. The results of it? It’s just gone. He now wants to curse that old man in Wavell to death, because he can obviously land from the west and then transport it by rail. In the end, we had to force the landing from the east, and the result was good. An elite infantry division is gone. Plus one battleship sunk. The key is that the entire task force was wiped out. Montgomery was furious at the thought and sent a telegram. The tone was very stern, that is, he would find a way by himself, and he would not send another soldier to support him. Because next, he had to prepare for the Battle of El Alamein. According to intelligence, the German army on the opposite side is currently replenishing supplies. It is obvious that the German army will launch a new round of offensive. In order to severely damage the German army in El Alamein, the elite troops in his hands could no longer be mobilized. Admiral Wavell, who received the telegram, was also dumbfounded. The reinforcements he had been waiting for were gone. Even the **** fleet is gone. More importantly, Vice Admiral Wipper was gone too, having been sunk along with the battleship Warrior. This is simply outrageous! Had the telegram not been sent by Montgomery, he would have suspected it was a fake. "How is this possible?" For a time, General Wavell became much older. Everything he did was to preserve Tianzhu and preserve the last vestige of vitality of the British Empire. The results now tell him that the reinforcements are gone. That means that the situation in Tianzhu will become even more corrupt. The British Empire would be completely finished. Do we really want to surrender? No! Based on his understanding of the Prime Minister in Downing Street, he would rather die in battle than surrender. But now that there are no reinforcements, what should Tianzhu do?
The Japanese army on the eastern front is attacking everywhere, especially in the name of rescuing these indigenous people, the Japanese army is expanding its strength very quickly. More and more indigenous people are joining them, and it is said that there are now hundreds of thousands of people. And it’s still increasing. When I think of this number, my scalp feels numb. “What should we do?” Admiral Wavell looked around and found that he could only turn to Stilwell to find a way to solve the crisis in Tianzhu. … On the other side of the river, Shozo has been very happy during this period. Since joining Mutaguchi Renya, he has been living a very carefree life. 60,000 elite Japanese troops combined with 20,000 servant troops and more than 50,000 indigenous troops were already very powerful. Not to mention, they occupied a large area of territory during this period. It can be said that the territory they currently occupy is almost larger than the territory of the mainland. Ambitions are also growing. Kawabe Shozo, who had been troubled by the Sichuan Army Corps before, was now humming a song and writing a telegram himself. That’s right, this is in the name of the commander of the 15th Army and represents the voice of all officers and soldiers. Ask the base camp to give them troops. There are countless resources and wealth here. There is absolutely no need to guard Kuhaha’s place. He even proposed to transfer 100,000 elites from the Chinese battlefield to Tianzhu. With these 100,000 elites, he is confident that he can take down the entire Tianzhu. At that time, they can immigrate and escape the fate of island countries. The more I kept writing, the more excited Hebian Masami became. I wrote a thousand words eloquently, and finally asked everyone above the general level to sign it. Mainly because of Hebian Zhengsan's words about splitting the earth and sealing the king, everyone was inflated. They yearn for Chinese culture, but they know the meaning of breaking the earth and conferring a king. Not long after, this telegram arrived in the hands of Hyōtaro Kimura at the base camp. He looked at the telegram in his hand repeatedly, and for a time he had some doubts about whether Kawabe Shozo was crazy. Deploying elite troops from China? How many elite troops does China have now? There seems to be more!
But not much more! If we continue to draw, it will really be a group of new recruits and a group of puppet troops. The situation on the Chinese battlefield may not be maintained by then. But the telegram written by Zhengzo by the river was very detailed, and the natives of Tianzhu were extremely respectful. There is not so much rebellious thought at all, and there are abundant resources and money here. There is no need for them to continue to consume on the Chinese battlefield. The resources obtained cannot sustain consumption. I have to say, it makes sense. At least Kimura Hyotarō also believed that the Chinese battlefield did consume a large amount of their effective forces. It might indeed be better if this part of the active force could be mobilized and transferred to other battlefields. But if you want to complete this task, you need the cooperation of the navy. I just finished mocking the navy not long ago, and now I am begging others to transport troops? Will you agree? If they can come up with oil and steel, maybe the navy can cooperate with them. But if it can come up with these, why doesn’t the army build its own warships? It’s not like we can’t build an army? For a time, Kimura Hyōtaro thought a lot. “It’s better to report to the Prime Minister first.” In the end, Kimura Hyōtaro decided to report first. … At the same time, Stilwell, who was preparing to send the New First Army south, received a call from General Wavell. To be honest, when Stilwell heard the call from Admiral Wavell, his first reaction was that he didn't want to answer it. But I couldn't bear it and I called several times. In the end, I had to reluctantly get through the phone. “General Stilwell, the British Empire needs your help.” As a result, Stilwell was stunned by the first sentence. What's the meaning? What happened again? By the time Stilwell finished listening to Admiral Wavell's words, his head was buzzing and he could only hear the sound of his breathing. "What are you talking about? The task force sent by you was completely wiped out by the Japanese army? And then the battleship Warrior was sunk?"
“Did a German submarine do it?” A series of news directly made Stilwell feel that his brain was not enough. These news are really exciting. So much so that his brain shut down on the spot. What is all this about? "Yes, General Stilwell, you are the only one who can save Tianzhu now. I hope you can send troops to help the British Empire." Admiral Wavell almost said in a pleading tone. This is the first time! At least Stilwell sounds pretty cool. But still very confused. Why are there Japanese and German warships there? And why do they know that the British task force will appear there? What is the conspiracy here? I wish you all a happy Children’s Day in advance! By the way, please ask for the guaranteed monthly pass tomorrow. I have updated 470,000 words this month. I have worked very hard. The price I paid for this is that I caught two colds in a month and my body is seriously overwhelmed. Now I can only reduce one update! Drink Chinese medicine to recuperate by the way! The update target for next month is no less than 400,000! By the way, pay back what you owe slowly!
