"Kurita-kun, I also want the combined fleet to fight a decisive battle with the American army, but now the combined fleet is undergoing major repairs and there is really nothing we can do. It is better to let the army's air force in Southeast Asia happen to be idle and let them attack the American fleet with air attacks."
Seeing Suzuki Kontaro's appearance, Kurita was trembling with anger.
How could he not know that Suzuki was shirking responsibility?
But the other party was the Prime Minister and Lord of the Admiralty.
Because of his high position and power, Kurita could only withdraw silently and go to the Chief of General Staff Sugiyama Gen for discussion.
Sugiyama Gen thought for a while and said: "I really have nothing to do. After all, Suzuki is the Prime Minister. If there is really no way, we can only dispatch Army planes."
"I can give you the right to mobilize all aircraft deployed in Southeast Asia."
Kurita had no choice but to generate electricity and call the air force in Southeast Asia.
The first one to hit was Tominaga Kyouji, commander of the First Air Force in Bangkok.
That's right, it's Tominaga Kyouji.
Since Tojo was executed, he has also been cleared out of the core power structure of the base camp.
He was thrown to Southeast Asia and became the commander of an air force, managing hundreds of aircraft.
Compared with the previous deputy secretary of the army, it can be said that there is a huge difference.
After Tominaga Kyouji received Kurita's call, he quickly went to Wei Wu to discuss countermeasures.
"What are you going to do?"
Wei Wu asked with a smile.
"Kurita has already said, what can I do."
Tominaga Kyouji was helpless.
"But, you only have these few hundred planes left now. If you use up all the planes, there will no longer be a place for you in the leadership."
Wei Wu said from the side.
"Then what can you do?"
Tominaga Kyouji asked.
"You just say that the pilots are sick and can't go out."
Wei Wu was on the side imparting experience.
"If necessary, you can personally put medicine into the pilot's food to ensure that no one can detect it as a fake."
"Is this possible?"
Tominaga Kyouji looked at Wei Wu in shock.
He didn't expect such an operation.
"Of course it won't work just like this. You can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it forever. The best way is to push the conflict out."
Wei Wu said.
"Tell me how to do it."
Tominaga Kyouji urged from the side.
"Just tell Kurita that this attack on the American fleet is to help the navy fight the war. It is the navy's island that is being guarded, so the navy must contribute."
"If the navy's main ships cannot be dispatched, those small submarines can be transformed into special submarines."
"The structure of this submarine is very simple, with only an engine, a propeller, a small operating platform and a large amount of explosives."
"Usually it is towed away by destroyers. After discovering the American warship, it is released, with personnel inside to drive it, and it directly rams the American warship."
"Because it is manned, the hit rate is definitely much higher than that of ordinary torpedoes."
"Moreover, as long as the charge is sufficient, even a battleship can be sunk with one hit."
"The most important thing is that this kind of submarine has a simple structure and can be mass-produced. One destroyer can build hundreds or thousands of them."
"Personnel selection is also simpler, as long as you have the courage."
"I've already thought of a name, so I'll call it Kaitian Torpedo."
Wei Wu said.
"hiss--"
Tominaga Kyouji was stunned.
He didn't expect such an operation. He didn't react for a while and was stunned.
Seeing Tominaga Kyouji's look, Wei Wu almost laughed out loud.
You know, in history, Tominaga Kyouji was the founder of the Kamikaze.
His men also gave birth to a fish king, Sasaki Jiro who participated in nine Kamikaze Agents and is still alive.
"円西~" After a long pause, Tominaga Kyouji was in awe.
"This method is good. The Japanese Empire lacks everything except courageous warriors. As long as we build enough Kaiten torpedoes, we will surely sink the entire US fleet into the sea."
Tominaga Kyouji thought this was a good opportunity.
He immediately ran to report to Kurita and take credit.
Seeing Tominaga Kyouji's back, Wei Wu smiled on his face.
He took the initiative to reveal these to Tominaga Kyouji and borrowed his words to say it.
Now, he has set his goal to become the manager of post-war Japan.
Naturally, you have to pay attention to your own behavior.
Especially there can't be too many black spots.
Whether it is a kamikaze agent or a Kaiten torpedo, because it is too cruel, it will become a point of attack for Bai Zuo in the future.
However, this is necessary to make the war between Japan and the United States more tragic.
Therefore, Wei Wu could only use Tominaga Kyouji's words to say this.
Slightly equalize the disadvantage.
Of course, the ultimate goal is to give those brainwashed by Bushido a good home.
Japan after the war does not need these idiots.
After cleaning up these guys, Wei Wu could better realize his plan.
Tominaga Kyouji returned to his office in a hurry, and immediately sent a telegram to Kurita, reporting to Kurita that all his subordinates were suffering from food poisoning and were unable to fight.
By the way, he reported the Kaiten torpedo plan to Kurita.
Originally, Kurita was so angry after hearing Tominaga Kyouji's outrageous report that he almost flew straight to Thailand to see if Tominaga Kyouji's men were really suffering from food poisoning.
But when he saw Tominaga Kyouji's Kaitian torpedo plan, he showed a thoughtful look.
Indeed, letting Tominaga Kyouji's fighter planes bomb the American warships can indeed deal a blow to the American fleet.
But all that was lost was the army's strength, making it easier for the navy to pick peaches.
This greatly harmed the interests of the Army.
If the Kaiten torpedo plan can be implemented, the Navy will have no reason to retreat.
If it succeeds everyone is happy.
If it fails, all naval power will be lost.
From the Army's point of view, whether this plan succeeds or fails, it is a great benefit.
Thinking of this, Kurita immediately went to Sugiyama Gen with this report.
Sugiyama Yuan also quickly figured out the joints.
He clapped his hands and shouted: "Seconds, no matter we win or lose, we won't suffer any loss. Who came up with this plan?"
Sugiyama Gen asked.
"It's Tominaga Kyouji." Kurita said quickly.
"It's actually him. I didn't expect this guy to have some abilities." Sugiyama Yuan nodded.
"If this plan is handed over directly to the Prime Minister, I am afraid that other reasons will be found to shirk it. In this way, we will go directly to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to directly order the execution to see if Suzuki dares to shirk it."
Sugiyama Gen has long criticized the navy as prime minister.
Now, if I have the opportunity to cause trouble for the other party, I will naturally not let it go.
Immediately take Kurita to find Yu Ren.
After reading the plan, Yuren was also happy.
After this period of war, he gradually understood the gap between Japan and America.
If he could use a small manned torpedo to destroy an American battleship, the deal would be extremely cost-effective for him.
As for the driver who died because of this, just give him a commendation.
What Japan does not lack most is this kind of fanatics brainwashed by Bushido.
"Give this plan to Suzuki and ask him to implement it immediately. I want to see the results within a month. Remember, there is only one month, otherwise, he will leave!"
Yuren made a decision.
