Anti-Japanese War: The whole world is a base vehicle

"Commander, it is indeed a good idea to fight southward, but I think the benefits of attacking Pearl Harbor will be greater." After a long time, Major General Kusaka Ryunosuke seemed to have thought it over carefully before finding a new reason to try to convince Nagumo Chuichi.

There was a determination in his eyes, as if he still had great hopes for the plan to attack Pearl Harbor.

Hearing this, Nanyun Chuichi just glanced at him indifferently and did not refute immediately.

He knew that Major General Kusaka Ryunosuke had always been obsessed with the attack on Pearl Harbor, so he wanted to hear what he had to say next.

"The Pearl Harbor operation will involve great risks, but the U.S. fleet poses a huge threat to the Pacific, and we cannot ignore it before launching operations on the southern front." Major General Kusaka Ryunosuke continued to expound his point of view. He frowned and looked serious, trying to make Nagumo Chuichi understand the potential obstacles that the existence of the U.S. fleet would pose to their subsequent operations on the southern front.

"The U.S. Navy has a strong will to fight. The Pacific Fleet is bound to gather the navies of Britain, the Netherlands and Australia to launch a counterattack on our operations on the southern front." As he spoke, he shook his head slightly, as if he could already foresee the many difficulties that would be faced in the operations on the southern front if the U.S. Pacific Fleet was not dealt with first.

"Even if we succeed in landing on the southern front, if our supply lines are attacked, or even if the enemy takes the opportunity to harass our homeland, the situation will be difficult to control." Major General Kusaka Ryunosuke emphasized his tone, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

He was well aware of the importance of the security of supply lines and the stability of the homeland to a war, and these aspects would most likely be threatened if the US fleet made any move.

"Therefore, I advocate an attack on Pearl Harbor first, especially since our strongest enemy is the U.S. Navy." Major General Kusaka Ryunosuke said firmly. He felt that only by launching a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor first and weakening the power of the U.S. Navy could more favorable conditions be created for subsequent operations on the southern front.

"As for the disadvantage of dividing the troops into two routes, then we should put all the aircraft carriers of the First Air Fleet into the Pearl Harbor operation. At present, the southern line is equivalent to an undefended area. In my opinion, there is no need to commit all the naval forces. It is better to make Hawaii the main combat direction." Major General Kusaka Ryunosuke further proposed his own ideas on troop deployment. He believed that superior forces could be concentrated to attack Pearl Harbor without having to worry too much about the defense issues on the southern line.

"To sum up, I fully agree with the Pearl Harbor operation." After Major General Kusaka Ryunosuke finished speaking, he stared at the other party, waiting for Nagumo Chuichi's response.

He knew that if Chuichi Nanyun still disagreed with the plan, he would have to consider using the connections of his cousin Kusaka Renji. After all, the other party was also a vice admiral and had considerable power in the Navy Department. His influence was no less than Chuichi Nanyun's. Maybe he could use his cousin's influence to promote the implementation of the plan.

As expected, upon hearing this, Nanyun Chuichi frowned slightly.

He fell into deep thought. On the one hand, he felt that what Major General Kusaka Ryunosuke said made some sense and the US fleet was indeed a potential and huge threat; but on the other hand, he was worried about the huge risks inherent in the plan to attack Pearl Harbor. After all, if it failed, the consequences would be disastrous.

"There is some truth in what you said. Let me think about it." Nanyun Chuichi frowned slightly and said with a serious expression. Then he waved his hand gently to signal Major General Kusaka Ryunosuke to leave first.

He was indeed a little conflicted at the moment. What Kusaka Ryunosuke said about attacking Pearl Harbor could bring greater benefits and deal with potential threats from the US fleet did make sense, but the huge risks made it difficult for him to agree easily.

Major General Kusaka Ryunosuke turned and left thoughtfully. He knew very well that there was no hope of convincing Nagumo Chuichi with just his words.

It seems that he can only follow the path of his cousin Kusaka Renji. With the help of his cousin's power and influence in the Navy Department, he may be able to push the plan to attack Pearl Harbor into implementation.

On the other hand, after receiving the telegram from his cousin Kusaka Ryunosuke, Kusaka Renji carefully read the content from beginning to end.

He was well aware of the importance of military planning. Every detail could determine the success or failure of the war, so he did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

After reading it, Caolu Renyi conducted an in-depth analysis.

He carefully considered his cousin's plan to attack Pearl Harbor. The more he analyzed it, the more he felt that if it could be successfully implemented, it would indeed bring considerable benefits to the Japanese army.

Especially Kusaka Ryunosuke's detailed battle plan. After Kusaka Rengen carefully considered it word by word, he felt that its success rate was very high.

Therefore, at the subsequent military meeting of the Navy Department, Kusaka Renji, as the Vice Admiral of the Navy, naturally brought up this plan, intending to discuss its feasibility with other generals.

After listening to his plan, many people nodded slightly to show their agreement.

In their view, the presence of the US fleet in the Pacific region did pose a considerable obstacle to the expansion and combat operations of the Japanese army. If they could deal a heavy blow to the Japanese army through a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor and weaken the power of the US Navy, it would be extremely beneficial to the Japanese army's subsequent operations in the Pacific region.

Of course, some people have raised objections.

The reason for opposition is that the US military is very powerful and should not be underestimated.

The U.S. Navy has advanced equipment, a large fleet and well-trained soldiers, and its combat strength ranks among the best in the world.

It would not be a wise move to rashly go to war with the US military now. It would likely lead to a difficult and unpredictable battle, and might even cause the Japanese army to suffer heavy losses.

But Kusaka Renji also gave his own reasons for this, and his arguments were very convincing.

He pointed out that the US military's occupation of Luzon was like burying a bomb that could explode at any time on the Japanese army's logistics supply line, posing a huge threat to them.

Moreover, the US military has now reduced its supply of oil and steel to the Japanese army, which has directly led to a shortage of naval supplies for the Japanese army, seriously affecting the normal operation and combat capability of the naval fleet.

And if we can successfully attack Pearl Harbor and seize the US military's oil and steel reserves, it may be able to alleviate the current naval supply shortage to a great extent.

Therefore, considering these aspects, it was necessary to launch a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.

"Send this plan to Isoroku Yamamoto and let him make the decision." After intense discussions and considerations, the Navy Department finally made this decision. The plan of attacking Pearl Harbor proposed by Kusaka Rengen was handed over to Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. He would use his rich experience and outstanding military vision to judge whether the plan was feasible and make the final decision.

Isoroku Yamamoto, who received the telegram, was concentrating on dealing with many military affairs at the time.

He took the telegram and just glanced at it at first, but after this glance, his expression instantly became shocked.

The plan was extremely detailed, from the early preparations for the battle, the deployment of troops, to the specific time and route of the attack, as well as the response measures for various situations that might arise in the future, all aspects were considered very carefully.

Isoroku Yamamoto couldn't help but frown slightly and began to make simple deductions in his mind according to the contents described in the plan.

As the deduction progressed, he was more and more surprised to find that if the plan was really implemented according to the steps arranged in it, it would be very likely to severely damage the US fleet. This discovery made Yamamoto Isoroku fall into deep contemplation. He knew that although this plan seemed to have a great chance of success, the risks it contained should not be underestimated.

After all, the US military is no ordinary force. Once they notice something and launch a powerful counterattack, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, Isoroku Yamamoto must carefully weigh the pros and cons before making the most appropriate decision.

"It's a good plan." Yamamoto Isoroku slowly put down the telegram in his hand, a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but exclaimed softly.

He had just carefully deduced the entire plan, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was quite ingenious. From the deployment of troops to the choice of combat timing, from the planning of attack routes to the response plans for possible situations, every link was considered very carefully, which was indeed eye-opening.

In fact, Isoroku Yamamoto had always been deeply worried. He had long been keenly aware that the US troops on Luzon Island were like a sharp blade hanging over the heads of the Japanese army, which could fall at any time and ruthlessly cut off the Japanese army's sea supply lines.

Once the supply line is cut off, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the Japanese military operations in the Pacific region. The fleet will be paralyzed and subsequent combat plans will be in vain.

He had also thought about whether or not to go to war with the rice livestock.

After all, the presence of the US military in the Pacific region has posed a huge threat to the expansion and strategic layout of the Japanese army.

However, the risk of going to war is too high, and Isoroku Yamamoto has been carefully weighing the pros and cons.

Now, after reading this carefully formulated battle plan, Isoroku Yamamoto couldn't help but feel a little disturbed.

He felt that perhaps this plan could really be tried, and perhaps it could break the current deadlock and deal a heavy blow to the US military, thereby creating a more favorable situation for the Japanese army's subsequent operations in the Pacific region.

However, Isoroku Yamamoto was also very clear that before actually taking action, a series of comprehensive and detailed strategic adjustments were needed.

After all, this is not a small battle, but a crucial battle that concerns the survival of the Japanese army in the Pacific battlefield. In order to ensure that the plan can be implemented smoothly and achieve the desired results, it is necessary to re-plan and adjust many aspects such as fleet deployment, material reserves, intelligence collection and confidentiality, and ensure that every link can be closely coordinated and foolproof.

Only in this way will we have enough confidence to engage in this thrilling battle with the US military.

…………

"The plan is going to succeed?" Lu Yuhua held the telegram he had just received, his eyes flashing with excitement, and a smile of relief appeared on the corners of his mouth.

In order to promote this plan, he devoted all his energy and effort.

From placing spies to careful planning, every link has been carefully considered and arranged.

Now that he finally sees the hope of success, his heart is filled with a sense of accomplishment and joy.

"Yes, according to feedback from our intelligence personnel, the Japanese army is already discussing a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, and it is expected that the attack will be launched soon." The intelligence staff officer stood aside, with a hint of excitement in his tone, and quickly reported the latest situation to Lu Yuhua.

He was well aware of the importance of this plan to the entire situation, and also understood how much effort Lu Yuhua had put into it.

Hearing this, Lu Yuhua's smile widened, his eyes full of anticipation.

This is really very good news!

Once the Japanese army successfully attacked Pearl Harbor, the US military would be drawn into the war and the situation in the entire world would undergo major changes.

This will also bring more opportunities and possibilities to our side, which is of vital significance both in terms of strategic layout and the impact on the direction of the war.

At this moment, Lu Yuhua has already begun thinking about his next actions and response strategies, and is fully prepared for the upcoming major turning point.

"Once you receive news of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, report to me immediately." Lu Yuhua ordered in a serious tone.

He was well aware of the importance of this critical moment, and every decision could affect the direction of the entire situation.

"Yes." The subordinate responded immediately, understanding the urgency of the task at this time.

Lu Yuhua had his own plans in mind.

What he had to do was to send a large number of submarine forces to attack the US aircraft carriers in Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.

After careful analysis and research, he found that although the Japanese attack plan seemed powerful, it actually had many fatal flaws.

The most critical point is that it was unable to sink the US aircraft carrier.

Aircraft carriers play a core role in modern naval warfare. Once the US aircraft carrier can be completely sunk, it will deal a heavy blow to the US maritime power and greatly change the pattern of the war.

Lu Yuhua's plan was bold and risky, but he also had his own considerations.

In this way, he can gain more benefits and strategic advantages in a chaotic situation.

At the same time, he also needs to grasp the timing accurately to ensure that the submarine force can launch the attack at the most appropriate time to achieve the best effect.

"As long as the US aircraft carrier is completely sunk, this sea area will be under the control of the Japanese army in a short time." Lu Yuhua could hardly suppress the smile on his face. (End of this chapter)
