Chapter 370 Unless the Navy hands over command of the aircraft carrier! "Throwing a difficult problem to me? You will really find trouble for me." Cun Yunsheng looked at the telegram sent by Xue Yue and frowned slightly. Upgraded to hundreds of fighter planes. Easy to say. It would be a good idea to leave the problem to the Yankees. "Pick up Stilwell for me." Cun Yunsheng pondered for a while and said to Meng Fanglia. "yes." It didn't take long for the call to be connected, and Stilwell's hearty voice rang again. "Dear Cun, is there any good news? Have you captured the Japanese regiment flag? I can't wait." Hearing this, the corners of Cun Yunsheng's mouth twitched. How dare this guy think about it.
Is there a united flag so soon? What are you thinking about? Do you really think that the alliance flag is a piece of cabbage? Don’t want money? "No, no alliance has been captured so far. I am asking for your help." Cun Yunsheng still used his ability to cry when he was poor. "Currently, our army has landed on Luzon Island, but the Japanese army's counterattack is very fierce, and our troops have suffered heavy casualties. We hope to receive support." "It's best to be a fighter plane or a naval battleship, etc." Hearing this, Stilwell was stunned, this guy is here again. What about battleships? Don’t you know that the Pacific Fleet suffered heavy losses? As for fighter jets, it's not impossible. Recently, a batch of supplies has been shipped, including many fighter planes, which can support this guy. "I will send two squadrons of fighter planes to support you." Stilwell thought for a moment and said. Who knew, Cun Yunsheng shook his head directly. "General Stilwell, it is far from enough. Two squadrons are too few. At least ten squadrons. The Japanese army in Luzon Island is very strong." Anyway, Stilwell didn't know the specific situation of Japan's Southern Army, so it wasn't up to him to report it. Moreover, the performance of the Japanese army in Guadalcanal and other places was indeed good. At least the US military suffered a lot. Hearing this, Stilwell frowned even deeper.
Ten squadrons? This guy really dares to think. Do you really want to be a fighter jet for free? And pilots and so on. But Cun Yunsheng can really fight, and it's hard for me to refuse his request. Thinking of this, Stilwell was silent for a while, and then said to him. "Ten squadrons are too many, five squadrons at most." "General Stilwell, we are fighting on two fronts. The consumption of troops is very high. So far, more than 30,000 people have been killed. General Stilwell, you can't just watch us wipe out all the troops, can you?" Cun Yun Almost every student was on the verge of tears. In fact, these more than 30,000 people are almost all indigenous people, and there are not many troops that truly belong to him. But reporting it, he must have reported it this way. Anyway, Stilwell definitely couldn't tell the difference between these people. "Hiss, so many?" Stilwell couldn't help but take a breath. He didn't expect the casualties to be so heavy? This was indeed beyond his expectation. "Yes, General Stilwell, I have a list of the dead here, regarding pensions." Cun Yunsheng was interrupted by Stilwell before he could finish his words. "I'll let people take care of the pension issue." When it came to money, Stilwell was indeed very generous. Including Du Yuming's expeditionary army, military pay was paid by Stilwell. "A maximum of eight squadrons of fighters, dear Cun, I know it's very difficult for you, but I don't have that many pilots on hand, so please understand." Stilwell thought for a while and expressed his difficulties. . Cun Yunsheng was already very happy when he heard about the squadron's fighter planes, but he still pretended to have a troubled expression on his face. "General Stilwell, I will naturally remember your kindness, but the Japanese army is indeed much tougher than I thought. I am afraid that after this battle, the casualties will never be less than 100,000, or even more." "There is nothing we can do about it. The Japanese army is indeed very powerful, but I can tell you good news. Due to something happening in Europe, investment in the Far East will increase now." Stilwell's sudden words made Cun Yunsheng was stunned for a moment. What's the meaning? Shouldn't it be reduced? How can it be expanded? This confused him. "The next battle in the Pacific will be in a relatively balanced stage. If the Japanese army does not attack, our Pacific Fleet will not take the initiative to attack. In order to contain the Japanese army, the White House hopes that we can increase our offensive intensity, so corresponding investment will be obtained increase," Stilwell explained. Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng was immediately stunned.
What is this word? You no longer take the initiative to attack. Then wouldn't the Japanese army turn around and attack him? Also increase investment? Don't you just want to use weapons to trick him into dying? It's really bad. Cun Yunsheng saw through the other party's true nature in an instant. But now is not the time to fall out. After thinking for a while, Cun Yunsheng took a deep breath and said. "General Stilwell, if that's the case, I'm afraid the Nanyang Task Force needs to expand in size. I'm afraid there's still a big gap in weapons." "Don't worry, the first batch of equipment for the three divisions will be sent soon." Stilwell said lightly. Since he deceived others into committing suicide, he still had to give him the equipment he deserved, and he still had to face this point. "Yes, thank you for your generosity." Cun Yunsheng praised again. After hanging up the phone, he immediately cursed. "Stupid Stillwell." "What's wrong? Take a seat, what's going on?" Meng Fangliao asked curiously. "The Americans gave up on the Pacific. No, it should be said that they moved their focus to Europe. Now the Pacific is not taken so seriously." Cun Yunsheng took a deep breath and said. "Hey, if that's the case, we've beaten the Japanese so badly recently, aren't they going to turn around and attack us?" Meng Fanlai immediately understood why Cun Yunsheng was so angry. "Absolutely. If I were the Japanese army, I would definitely turn my guns and attack us. Otherwise, I would lose so many people and I can't explain it." Cun Yunsheng nodded. "How about suspending the offensive?" Meng Fanxia hesitated and asked. "Let the Borneo side suspend their offensive first. Malacca is the bottom line. The Japanese army will never watch us occupy Malacca. I'm afraid if we really do occupy Malacca, something will really happen then." Cun Yunsheng said in a solemn tone. "As for Luzon Island, don't worry about it. Increase the offensive intensity. It's best to build a field airport and throw all the eight squadrons sent by Stilwell on the island. Don't care about their casualties. It's best to kill them all. Wait. No, let Stilwell send them again. Anyway, they have more fighter planes, let him know how cruel the battle is. " Hearing this, Meng Fanlai and Leng Buding took a breath of cold air. In my impression, Cun Yunsheng hadn't been this angry for a long time, but he didn't expect to be so angry now. It looked like he was really **** off by the Americans. "Are you sure there won't be any problems?" Meng Fanglia asked. "Don't worry, nothing will happen." Cun Yunsheng shook his head. On the other side, Kimura Hyōtaro, who had just arrived, was very dissatisfied when he saw Tsukada Kaguya, the chief of staff. "Tsukada-kun, is this what you want to tell me? Now that the situation has become so corrupt, you don't tell the truth?" Kimura Hyoutarou was really angry. He didn't expect that the Southern Army would be so corrupt. In fact, It was beyond his expectation. "Your Excellency, Commander, I have reported to the base camp more than once that the Southern Army lacks elite divisions. It is already a headache to rely solely on those second- and third-line divisions to deal with the guerrillas every day. Facing the attack of the China Army, we are really powerless. ." Lieutenant General Tsukada said with an aggrieved look.
He also reported it more than once. What was the result? What was the response? No reply. Let them figure it out on their own. "Your Majesty Commander, I know that the empire's current expectations are placed on Tianzhu, where a large amount of steel and oil can be obtained. These are in short supply, and it is understandable to mobilize elite troops. However, the combat effectiveness of the China Army is indeed very powerful. They have Beautiful weapons and equipment, let our troops' losses be compared," Tsukada explained with an aggrieved look. Hearing this, Kimura Hyōtaro looked embarrassed. He withheld all these telegrams without replying. "The base camp is also in a difficult situation. All the veterans have been deployed. Now there are only the Kwantung Army and some elite divisions left. But they are stationed in a large territory. There are steel and various mineral resources there. Many of our weapons and equipment. It was produced there," Hyōtaro Kimura explained. "As for the Southern Army's problem, I really didn't expect it to be so serious." "Now tell me whether you can defeat these Chinese troops." After hearing this, Tsukada took a deep breath. "Unless the Navy can support it, there's little hope." "The Navy has promised to support a fleet and is currently on its way. As for when it will arrive, it is currently unknown." Kimura Hyōtaro finally brought a ray of good news. "Really?" Tsukada Gong's eyes suddenly lit up. This was good news. "Well, but don't hold out too much hope. The navy has a deep conflict with us. Maybe they will set off fireworks to celebrate." Kimura Hyōtaro stretched out his hands and said helplessly. He has stayed at the base camp for so long, and he knows very well the conflicts between the land and sea. During the Battle of Nomenkan, the army suffered a disastrous defeat, and the navy even fired artillery to celebrate. There were other more outrageous things that he didn't say. "Before this, I need to keep the defense line unchanged and not suffer any greater losses." Kimura Hyoutarou asked. "Hai." … On the other side, Yamamoto Fifty-six was very dissatisfied when he learned that a fleet would be transferred. It is obvious that the strength is already insufficient, why should we deploy a fleet? Doesn't this weaken the strength of the combined fleet? Does anyone want the United Fleet to lose completely? "About my proposal, why was it not passed?" Yamamoto Isoroku directly sent a telegram to the Naval Command to ask. In response, Mitsumasa Yoneuchi's answer was that the Army promised to allocate a portion of its share to build warships. After hearing this, Yamamoto Isoroku had no choice but to admit it at this moment, even if he had any objections. He was also moved.
Therefore, he decisively sent a fleet back to support the Southern Army. Among them were a battleship, a heavy cruiser, a fleet of cruisers and destroyers. This is definitely taken very seriously. No battleship will be dispatched if there is little regard for it. But what he didn't know was that the battle that broke out next took him by surprise. In other words, subvert his three views. … Looking back to the Mediterranean Sea, since the **** aircraft carrier quickly launched into the sea, the advantage of the Royal Fleet has been weakened again. Originally, they were fighting against the fleets of the four nations. If it were not for the elusive German submarines, I am afraid that the Royal Fleet would have crushed the opponent. Who knew that at the critical moment, a large number of carrier-based aircraft appeared and the Royal Fleet had to retreat. This is not the Atlantic Ocean, and carrier-based aircraft cannot take advantage of it. This is the Mediterranean Sea, the weather is calm, and carrier-based aircraft have a huge advantage. Because of this, when a large number of carrier-based aircraft appeared, the Royal Fleet chose to retreat and then slowly took action. If it hadn't been for the emergence of carrier-based aircraft, I'm afraid that after this battle, the fleets of the four countries would have existed in name only. It’s no wonder that Italy and France are so desperate. As the output of the oil field continues to increase, they all know that the benefits brought by this oil field are really too great. So they all know that once the naval battle is lost, they will lose even more. Because of this, Italy and France are working hard to defend the oil fields here. "The German Navy must have an aircraft carrier. Even if it does not have an aircraft carrier, it must have carrier-based aircraft." This is not the first time Chuichi Nagumo has become angry. The Germans obviously have a powerful air force, so why don't they give them carrier-based aircraft? If paired with German pilots, the naval battle might have greater results. "We will consider this matter." Lütjens shook his head and said. Just like the Japanese army's land and sea conflicts, the German army's sea and air conflicts are because of aircraft carriers. Otherwise, their semi-finished aircraft carrier would have been launched long ago. "No, it's not enough. I have to see your sincerity. The output of this oil field is refreshing every day. Without a powerful navy, it is impossible to defend this. Don't you understand this?" Nagumo Chuichi hates iron. He said indifferently. If they owned such a large oil field, they would definitely send elite troops to garrison it. The result? There was still no carrier-based aircraft, which naturally made him very annoyed. "I know, but this is not something I can decide." Lutjens said helplessly with his hands spread out.
Hearing this, Nagumo Chuichi felt as if he had punched cotton. In fact, there was a lot of quarrel within the German army. Especially the emergence of **** aircraft carriers has changed the situation of the battle quite a bit. If they also have aircraft carriers. No! They do have aircraft carriers, but they don't have carrier-based aircraft. But the Air Force doesn't give them pilots, so the Navy can't train its own pilots. So, both sides have been arguing. "Carrier-based aircraft are a must. Facts have proved that aircraft carriers will play an increasingly important role in future naval battles. If it were not for the carrier-based aircraft of Italy and France this time, I am afraid we would have failed long ago." "No, I still don't agree. All flying toys in the empire are under the control of the Air Force. If your navy is willing to hand over the command of the aircraft carrier to us, I can promise to provide a group of pilots, and they are all ace pilots." "Impossible..." Marshal Redel refused in one breath. (End of chapter)
