"Everyone!"
Yingzuo Zhenzhao appeared in front of everyone with high spirits:
"December 7, Showa 15, the Empire of Japan, is today! A few hours ago, the Imperial Navy Combined Fleet, under the personal command of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, and the assault fleet commanded by Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo, Launched an assault on the U.S. Navy fleet at Pearl Harbor and won a great victory!”
"Long live! Long live! Long live!"
All Japanese people became excited instantly.
Shadow Sakiaki continued: "The U.S. Pacific Fleet suffered heavy losses, and almost the entire army was destroyed. The empire, the Pacific, already belongs to the empire!"
"Long live! Long live! Long live!"
A telegram was delivered to Yingzuo Zhenzhao.
Yingzuo Zhenzhao only glanced at it and said:
"The Empire of Japan has officially declared war on the United States of America!"
The mood at the scene was completely feverish!
"Long live! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live the Empire of Japan!"
"Boom, boom, boom!"
At this moment, bursts of explosions came faintly.
"what happened?"
The scene that had been so frenzied just now suddenly became quiet.
After a while, Yingzuo Zhenzhao's assistant Qingqi Qingyin hurried over: "I just received a call..."
In an instant, Yingzuo Zhenzhao's face turned pale.
What happened?
After a long time, Yingzuo Zhenzhao said with difficulty:
"Just now, there was an explosion in the concession arsenal!"
What?
The success brought about by the attack on Pearl Harbor was gone in a matter of minutes!
"The cause of the explosion is still under investigation." Yingzuo Zhenzhao cheered up: "The meeting ended early and all departments returned to their posts immediately!"
From the beginning to the end, Koichi Hahara who attended the meeting did not show much expression.
He was not happy about the success of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
He was not shocked when the arsenal exploded.
He just murmured:
"he came!"
…
On December 7, 1941, the Japanese Navy's combined fleet successfully attacked Pearl Harbor.
Japan sank four US battleships and two destroyers, and destroyed 188 aircraft.
Approximately 2,400 Americans were killed in the attack; another 1,250 were injured.
From the perspective of a sneak attack, the Japanese army achieved a complete victory.
But judging from the results?
The Japanese army designated aircraft carriers as the main target of attack.
However, the US aircraft carrier is not in the port at all!
The 450 tons of heavy oil stored by the US Navy at Pearl Harbor are safe and sound!
This is a major mistake by the Japanese Navy!
In the words of U.S. Navy Admiral Nimitz:
"The Japanese Navy, which focused its attack targets on ships, completely ignored the machinery factory, did not attack repair facilities, and turned a blind eye to the 4.5 million tons of heavy oil stored in the harbor. Considering the commitments made by the United States to Europe, these Heavy fuel oil accumulated over time is irreplaceable, and without this fuel, the U.S. fleet would not be able to launch any combat operations from Pearl Harbor for several months."
Nimitz's words were an understatement.
If Chuichi Nagumo bombed the oil storage tank and caused a fire, the 4.5 million tons of heavy oil fire would be impossible to extinguish by any firefighting means.
Nothing else was needed. This fire alone could completely destroy Pearl Harbor and destroy the possibility of its continued existence as a military port.
To rebuild this military port, even for the mechanized United States, it would be impossible within a few years.
Without its forward base, the U.S. Navy could only retreat 3,500 kilometers back to San Diego, California.
However, there is no if in war!
The main force of the U.S. Pacific Fleet is still there!
In the words of Yamamoto Isoroku:
"I fear I have awakened a sleeping giant, and now he is filled with rage!"
On the day when the Japanese Navy's combined fleet attacked Pearl Harbor, a big explosion occurred in the Japanese military police arsenal in the public concession!
The materials stored by the Japanese army in the public concession were destroyed.
At the same time, it caused heavy casualties!
This suddenly turned the atmosphere of celebration into sadness for the Japanese!
Facing the devastation, Hahara Koichi said those words again:
"he came!"
…
he came!
In fact, he never left!
This is very Meng Shaoyuan!
When he needs to do something, this man never hesitates!
When he decides to do something, no one can stop this man!
That's right, the concession fell into the hands of the Japanese!
But it’s me who has the final say in the concession!
I know every road, every building, every alley here.
When I decide to kick you hard in the butt, what else can you do besides sticking your butt out and waiting for me to kick you?
Meng Shaoyuan used the most Meng Shaoyuan method to blow up the Japanese army's arsenal in time when the concession fell and some agents became confused and wavered, quickly stabilizing the morale of the army.
There is almost no need for publicity. Every latent agent of the military command knows such a thing. Only he, Director Meng, can do it!
Who said Director Meng had already gone to Chongqing?
Director Meng is still in Shanghai, still directing us to fight!
As long as he is here, any miracle can happen!
This is a belief, a belief that has been formed for a long time!
…
December 7th.
Perhaps having a tacit understanding, Wu Jingyi, the director and secretary of the Shanghai latent zone of the Military Command Bureau, commanded two combat teams to launch an attack on the Japanese military police.
During the attack, four Japanese military police were killed and two wounded.
Afterwards, the military agents quickly dispersed and evacuated.
The whole process lasts no more than two minutes!
Since the young master gave the Japanese a "gift", it would be a bit stingy if she, District Chief Wu, couldn't pay anything, wouldn't she?
Same day.
Xiahou Dun, who took over Xu Zhuzhi's Five Elements and Seven Kills of Thirteen Eagles, launched a continuous attack on Agent 76.
Xiahou Dun killed 24 agents of No. 76 and wounded several others at the cost of eight casualties.
Military commander, in action!
…
Meng Shaoyuan opened the window.
Outside, it was still a feasting scene.
There is still singing and dancing.
It seems that there is no impact here at all.
"Some people can never be awakened."
Meng Shaoyuan muttered to himself.
"What?"
Li Zhifeng, who was responsible for the personal protection of Meng Shaoyuan, did not hear clearly.
"You know what I'm most worried about?"
Meng Shaoyuan changed the topic: "I'm not afraid of the Japanese, let alone those traitors. What I'm afraid of is the people around me."
"What are the people around you to be afraid of?" Li Zhifeng muttered: "Are you still afraid that we will betray you?"
"It's not you, but it's often the person you don't expect who puts you to death." Meng Shaoyuan murmured: "I don't know why, but I always have some bad premonitions. Something seems to have gone wrong? But I can't think of it. But there must be something I overlooked."
"Boss Meng, don't think about it, we are here to protect you."
"Yes, I have you." Meng Shaoyuan turned around: "From now on, you no longer need to call me Boss Meng, call me Mr. Cai!"
