Chapter 1180 The First Fleet of the Japanese Navy
After walking out of the president's office, Zhang Kui'an returned to his secretary-general's office and sent Wang Maoru's instructions one by one. Someone reported to him that a few days ago, Deputy Culture Minister Zhao Binghe called on officials to buy supplies as soon as possible. Because a catastrophe would happen, Zhang Kui'an was furious and said, "Zhao Binghe really said that?"
The informant quickly said that there were eight people at the banquet at that time, and the rest could prove it, especially the silk investigative specialist Zhou Qitong, Jin Bangping, the Industrial Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and former official Zhang Zongxiang and others could testify. Zhao Binghe did call on everyone for this matter. The meaning inside and outside is that the President's purpose of toughening against Japan this time was not to save the people, but for the purpose of ulterior motives.
Zhang Kui'an sneered and said, "Zhao Zedong is talking nonsense. You go back first and I will confirm that if the content is true, this is evidence that he left the world."
"Yes." The man achieved his goal and went down immediately.
Zhang Kui'an knocked on the table, thinking that this matter should be confirmed before reporting to Wang Maoru. Then he called Chen Xi directly to the deputy director of the National Bureau of State Council. Chen Xi did not expect to receive a call from Wang Maoru. After being a little surprised, he listened carefully to Zhang Kui'an's instructions and immediately said that he would investigate. Later, Chen Xi's investigation learned that Zhao Binghe did say such words, and he was just holding them in a drunken state and was held by everyone.
After Zhang Kui'an was confirmed, he made a secret report to Wang Maoru. After hearing this, Wang Maoru smiled and said, "For freedom of speech, he is unintentional, others are intentional. If you don't express this, you won't be an example. Tell Zhao Binghe. Don't make such low-level mistakes again. He is also an old man in Beiyang, why are you so careless?"
"Okay." Zhang Kui'an found Zhao Binghe and said it. Unexpectedly, a few days later, Zhao Binghe became seriously ill after being frightened. In addition, spring was prone to colds and fevers. After the illness, he became depressed. Wang Maoru learned about his situation and specially approved him to go home to recuperate. Zhao Binghe also became the first ministerial official in Wang Maoru's cabinet to be dismissed. This old Beiyang, who was quickly promoted and dismissed, also became a joke and warning in the officialdom. Officials should control their mouths. Don't say anything they shouldn't say.
Now, on the surface of the Yellow Sea, all Chinese people have prepared. With the determination to die, all the warships of the Chinese Coast Guard put the shells on the plywood, waiting for the death to fight.
However, while the Chinese were nervous, the Japanese were also shocked.
China's intelligence was incorrect. This time, the Japanese Navy blocked the Japanese Fourth Fleet, which was guarding the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea, but Japan's most powerful first fleet. According to the Washington Naval Treaty, the Japanese Navy's fourth fleet's main fleet, Kashima, will be demolished soon.
The Chinese Military Intelligence Department and the National Bureau of State Administration cannot detect Japan's naval intelligence. Super Agent Li Muhan stole a large amount of intelligence in the Japanese cabinet, but the intelligence about the Japanese army and navy, especially the navy, was particularly lacking. Now the Japanese navy has been divided into two major factions. One faction is the treaty faction, advocating the development of the economy first, and the other faction is the fleet faction, advocating the expansion of force and not abide by the treaty. However, the treaty faction is represented by the Ministry of Navy and occupying the right to speak. Therefore, Japan demolished the old warships and rebuilt them.
In fact, the Kashima had reached the deadline for demolition at the end of last year. In order to take out hands to carry out earthquake relief and the East-West Siberian battle, Japan did not delay. It was just that there were too many main battleships that had been demolished, and the Kashima lined up to be photographed now.
Although the Chinese Military Intelligence Agency's agency in Japan is very specific in terms of army intelligence, the Japanese naval intelligence agency has always been controlled by the Japanese Satsuma clan, and it is difficult for outsiders to intervene, which has also led to the Chinese Military Intelligence Department being unable to further explore intelligence. This time, according to the usual management, the Military Intelligence Department still provided the Fourth Fleet, but in fact, the Fourth Fleet was directly stationed in Kanto Prefecture (Dalian Lushun), after going to sea, guarding the Bohai Sea and providing protection for Kanto Prefecture, and no interception was carried out.
The Japanese Navy's First Fleet has always been a trump fleet stationed at its headquarters, but it is also called the "South Island Navy". The last time the First Fleet was dispatched in full swing back to the Tsuma Naval Battle during the Russo-Japanese War. Since the Tsuma Naval Battle, the Japanese First Fleet has been at the Yokosuka Japanese Navy Base Camp. Therefore, when the First Fleet was dispatched again, the Military Information Department had no experience thinking that they were just going to sea for training as usual.
The main battleships of the Japanese Navy's First Fleet are the Nagamon battleship with a displacement of up to 32,720 tons. The battleships of the same level of the USS Muro are all world-class battleships with a displacement of 32,720 tons. The main naval guns are four 8 406mm naval guns, and there are 20 140mm naval guns, 4 76mm naval guns, and 8 533mm torpedo launchers.
In addition to the two main battleships, there are also the Ise-class battleships Ise battleships and the Hinata battleships,
The USS Moqiu cruiser, Oita cruiser, Tama cruiser, the 24th Destroyer (Seawind destroyer, Liangfeng destroyer, Yama destroyer, Jiangfeng destroyer), the 26th Destroyer (Tenlong destroyer, Ryuda destroyer), the 27th Destroyer (Ariaki destroyer, Bailu destroyer, Ximu destroyer, Shizui destroyer), the 28th Destroyer (Changyou destroyer, Iroyo destroyer, Naito destroyer), the 1st Submarine Team and the 1st Mine Team, and the other supply ship transport ships and other thirty-nine ships heading towards the Chinese waters.
The commander of the Japanese First Fleet, Katotaro Suzuki, sat in the command tower of the flagship Nagamon battleship, picked up a telescope and looked over from afar. On the left side of him stood the captain of the Nagamon battleship Nagamon three, the captain of the Nagamon battleship Nagamon three, the president of the Japanese Navy University, and the naval officer Izuru Yamamoto Isori Yamamoto. On his right side was the chief of staff of the Japanese Navy, Sato Totaro, and behind Sato Totaro was his favorite student Kato Hiroji. Of course, about two meters away were the current naval sub-author (Chief) Lieutenant General Okada, who is a good man in the navy, and the responsible person of the navy is the relationship between Suzuki Kato and the cabinet veteran Komaki Nishimoto. And the moderate leader of the Japanese Navy and the hardline leader of the Japanese Navy, Sato Totaro, are children and relatives...
Suzuki Kantaro is a naval veteran. He was born in the Satsuma clan and was one of the few naval geniuses who combine politicians and military strategists. Among the star-studded Japanese ministers, Suzuki Kantaro is a rare naval general who supports the party and government leadership of Japan. However, it is precisely because Suzuki Kantaro supports the party and government factions that he is not favored by this royal cabinet. After the Navy Minister Tokima Biao stepped down, Suzuki Kantaro did not receive the support of Prime Minister Kiyoura Kiyosu. Instead, the navy's reformer, Guichi Murakami, served as the Navy's Minister.
It is conceivable how depressed this naval minister had to be led by Suzuki by Suzuki. Now, around Suzuki, is the main person in charge of the Navy and the think tank of the Japanese Navy.
"Stack all artillery and destroy the Chinese ships in the first round." Kato Hiroji, who was the observer and commander of the Yokosuka custody, said with a ferocious face.
"Yes, if it is eliminated, it will be eliminated as soon as possible." Iroku Yamamoto, a junior, helped him. He was not the commander-in-chief of the Japanese naval during World War II. Now he is just the principal of the Navy School, and he will be sent to the UK for exchanges next. In the command tower where a group of generals and lieutenant generals gathered, he naturally couldn't say his own opinions, but just agreed with others.
"Yoshi, we just need to worry about the Old Man Star and the Avenger battleship cannons." Kato Hiroji said.
"Don't think too simple about China." Okada Keisuke reminded, "The current Chinese leaders don't know what they are thinking. This time, I always think it's a conspiracy without obtaining the consent of the Japanese government. Maybe his conspiracy is not just against Japan, but he even has to take the opportunity to have other premeditations."
Sato Tetrataro nodded, and Suzuki Kazutaro said, "I don't know what the hell is doing."
"After the Japanese-Sing Navy, will there be a navy in China? The Chinese Navy, which barely gathered with the British Old Man Star and Revenge battleships, is just our target ship." After a silence, Kato Hiroji broke everyone's peace and laughed. The name of Wang Maoru has long been spread throughout Japan and the world. After unifying China, the Ministry of Culture under Wang Maoru started to promote Wang Maoru's spirit, Wang Maoru's character, Wang Maoru's will, and Wang Maoru's contributions throughout the country, making everyone think that he is the savior of China - the great savior of the Chinese people.
Influenced by this trend, the Japanese began to believe that the biggest enemy of Japan's Asian policy was Wang Maoru. This was famous at the Japanese Cultural Festival because Wang Maoru wrote a book about the rise of Japan in his early years, which made the Japanese think that this was an opponent who knew them very well. Therefore, every time when Wang Maoru was mentioned, it made the Japanese feel a little angry, especially the Japanese military.
The Japanese army wanted to eat Wang Maoru's meat and repeatedly sent killers to China to assassinate Wang Maoru. Wang Maoru did not wait for death. He was a villain who went to Japan or assassinated Japanese intelligence personnel. What the Japanese were very depressed was that Chinese killers had very sharp eyes, and most of the assassinations were the future stars of Japanese intelligence agencies, such as Kenji Doihara, Okamura Yasuji, Seishiro Itagaki, and Dasaku Kawamoto.
Now, Kato's words have caused some naval officers to laugh. In the eyes of these people, the Chinese navy is really not worthy of being called the word navy, it is just fish and shrimp in the river.
