In Japan, Tokyo.
In the parking lot of the Imperial Palace Plaza, Navy Minister Mitsumasa Yoneuchi met Army Minister Hata Shunroku.
The two old devils greeted each other, and then walked to the imperial study together, with solemn expressions on their faces.
"Munei-kun, do you know why your Majesty convened this imperial meeting?"
"I probably know something about it, and it has something to do with the Thirteenth Army's consecutive losses in the past two days."
"But that's not right. If it was because of the defeat of the Thirteenth Army, why were there more naval generals than army generals participating in this imperial meeting?"
¡°This¡it¡¯s hard to put into words.¡±
"Mine-kun, are you hiding something from me?"
"Really not, how could I hide something from you? But"
"But what?"
"But as far as I know, this imperial meeting is likely to discuss an important resolution related to the navy. If this resolution is passed, the navy's tactics will be revolutionary in the future."
While talking, the two old devils had already arrived in front of the imperial study room.
The guards guarding the imperial study raised their guns in salute, and the two old devils raised their hands in return and then entered proudly.
Entering the study room, one immediately saw the top Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Fumimaro Konoe. This guy is a workaholic. Every time he sits in front of the emperor for a meeting, he will arrive half an hour earlier than others.
Since this is a staff meeting, no special seats will be arranged.
Mitsumasa Yoneuchi and Shunroku Hata found two seats next to each other and sat down on their knees, but they were far away from Konoe Fumimaro.
Because the cabinet has repeatedly blocked the military budgets of the Navy Ministry and the Army Ministry, Mitsumasa Yoneuchi and Shunroku Hata had a tense relationship with Fumimaro Konoe and were unwilling to sit next to him.
Konoe Fumimaro just glanced at the two of them and had no intention of talking to them.
After a while, Minister of Foreign Affairs Arita Hachiro, Minister of Finance Kirichiro Hiranuma, Kanin Miya Zaihito, Fushimi Miya Hiroyao and other ministers also arrived one after another.
And Fushimi Gong Bogong was not alone, he also brought two people.
¡°These two people, one is Yamamoto Isoroku, the commander of the Imperial Navy Combined Fleet, and the other is Yamaguchi Takan, the commander of the 2nd Air Force.
However, compared to the military and political leaders present, the qualifications of Yamamoto Isoroku and Yamaguchi Dawei were much less. After bowing to the leaders present one by one, the two of them walked to the end and found a seat to sit down.
Not long after Yamamoto Isoroku and Yamaguchi Takanori arrived, Hirohito also arrived.
There was no unnecessary nonsense. As soon as Hirohito sat down, he said immediately: "Everyone is here, let's start."
The dozen or so military and political leaders who participated in the imperial meeting sat up straight and listened to the instructions.
Hirohito continued: "The 3rd Aviation Regiment of the Thirteenth Army suffered two consecutive disastrous defeats yesterday and today. It lost 134 combat aircraft in just two days. Then the China Air Force dispatched nearly 50 combat aircraft to attack The Guards Division carried out indiscriminate bombing, and all the technical equipment of the 4th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade and the Guards Field Artillery Regiment affiliated to the Guards Division were destroyed. You must already know this. "
Yamaguchi Dawen, who was in the last seat, observed secretly and found that there was no anger on Hirohito's face.
In fact, Hirohito was not very angry, and was even secretly happy.
Hirohito added: "You must think that I will be very angry after losing so many combat aircraft and heavy artillery of brigades and regiments in just two days, but I want to tell you, I am not actually angry. .¡±
"Not only am I not angry, I'm actually a little lucky, because this disastrous defeat has completely woken up the empire."
"Before today, the empire's military theoretical circles, equipment and technology departments, and even many senior generals had unrealistic illusions. They were all opposed to revolutionary changes in the existing system. They all believed that the empire's existing military theories, combat concepts and The existing technical equipment is enough to cope with a world war!"
"But what about the facts? The facts gave the empire a resounding slap in the face!"
"Let's talk about military theory first. Compared with the backward and decadent China, the empire's military theory is indeed advanced. This has been perfectly reflected in the previous Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War and the recent China Incident. However, when the imperial military theory met the China Army armed with modern Western military theory, it immediately pales in comparison!"
"Zhong Yi is the proof! Just because he came from the West Point ArmyAfter returning from studying abroad, he had mastered the most advanced military theories in the West. When he returned to China to join the war, he caused countless losses to the imperial army! Doesn't this explain the problem? This is enough to show that the empire's military theory has seriously fallen behind and must undergo subversive changes! "
Speaking of this, Hirohito turned his attention to the attending Army University President Fujie Keisuke: "Fujie-kun, the task of innovating military theory will be left to you Army University."
"Hai." Fujie Keisuke nodded heavily.
Hirohito added: "As for the specific tactical issues, I don't know much about this. I am a real layman, so I won't go into details."
After a pause, he said to Kanin Gong Zaijin and Fushimi Miya Hiroya: "This matter will be studied by the Army General Staff and the Navy Command Department in collaboration with the Ministry of War and the Ministry of War, focusing on studying the German tactics! You all also read Now, the performance of the German army on the European battlefield is really shocking and eye-catching!"
"Hai!" The two old devils nodded in unison.
"Finally, I will focus on equipment innovation." Hirohito said with emphasis, "You all know that China's industrial manufacturing base is completely incomparable with the empire's, and the weapons and equipment of the China army are also far behind the imperial army. However, , Zhong Yi only relied on dozens of fighter jets purchased from the United States to inflict fatal damage to the imperial army. This is enough to prove how important aviation will become in future wars! It is no exaggeration to say that aviation will determine The future war is about life and death!¡±
"Therefore, it is necessary for us to separate the aviation force and form an independent air force!"
¡°The size of the air force must also be greatly expanded based on the existing aviation force.¡±
"A few hundred planes are far from enough. One or two thousand planes are still not enough. We need five thousand or even eight thousand planes!"
"Gentlemen, please imagine that if one day in the future the Empire and the United States go to war, the entire sky over the Pacific Ocean will be filled with fighter planes of all types from the Imperial Air Force. What will it be like?"
At this point, Hirohito¡¯s eyes lit up and shined brightly.
There are many militants in the Japanese military, but it is obvious that Hirohito is the biggest militant.
Hirohito was thinking about going to war with the United States, thinking about seizing the entire Pacific Ocean, and thinking about seizing the rich oil and rubber resources in the vast islands of Southeast Asia. It was no longer a day or two. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
