Brilliant Sword: Fighting against the Xixi System One Hundred Thousand Japanese Army

Chapter 913 Speculation on the Navy Strength of the 8th Route Army

Homeland Defense Circle Program.

As soon as Hideki Tojo finished speaking, all the old devils present frowned.

Deputy Takeshi Toyoda frowned and said, "Hideki Tojo, are you saying that the navy should form a defensive circle around my brother's country?"

Hideki Tojo looked serious: "Yes, this is the only way to prevent the infiltration of Tuba Road."

Deputy Takeshi Toyoda sneered: "What about the escort? If there is no escort from the fleet, how can the supplies be sent to Southeast Asia!"

Hideki Tojo was at a loss for words when asked.

But soon Hideki Tojo asked rhetorically: "The annual military expenditure of the Navy Red Deer is more than ten times that of the Army. Is there any problem in protecting the national border and air routes at the same time?"

"Or hand over your navy's military expenses to the army."

Deputy Takeshi Toyoda patted the table: "Baga! Hideki Tojo, what are you messing around with!"

"If you give the navy military expenses to you, the last elite of your army's red deer in Southeast Asia will be starved to death next month!"

After Fubu Takeshi Toyoda and Hideki Tojo finished their scolding, the large conference room suddenly fell silent.

Quarrels belong to quarrels, but the current problems still must be resolved.

That's the question about homeland defense.

After the entire meeting room was silent for a few minutes, Deputy Takeshi Toyoda said slowly: "It is useless to rely solely on naval defense."

"My country has a coastline of more than 3000 kilometers. If Tuba Road really wants to land, it can land at any corner of the coastline of more than 3000 kilometers."

"If the navy is allowed to drive the ship and wander the sea non-stop."

"Even if it is possible, there are not enough communicators to tell the headquarters what I found."

"Therefore, you still need to solve the problem of local infiltration by the Tuba Roaders on your own!"

Hideki Tojo said: "We are responsible, and we will be responsible. We will block the coast and conduct internal investigations."

"However, your Navy Red Deer must also carry out necessary sea blockades to prevent Tuba Road from destroying it!"

Deputy Takeshi Toyoda said calmly, "Okay!"

Hideki Tojo continued: "We have settled on this point, so let's talk about the next thing."

"Is there any way for your Navy Red Deer to escort the route?"

Deputy Takeshi Toyoda looked relentless: "Just kill Tubalu's navy!"

Hideki Tojo frowned: "Is there such an order in this matter?"

Deputy Takeshi Toyoda nodded: "This matter is not as difficult as you think."

"Although Tubalu has a fleet, having ships does not mean having a mature navy."

"The Navy, at the end of the day, is all about people."

"Tuba Road can build a navy in a short period of time, but I don't believe that Tuba Road can train a huge naval force in a short period of time."

Yong Ye Xiushen on the side added: "According to the information we have received, the Tuba Road has never attacked Qiongzhou Island in the past few days, or has taken the initiative to attack the United Fleet of Di Guode."

"Just keep harassing and destroying transport ships."

"The ship with the largest tonnage that appeared was just a destroyer."

"And according to the information we have collected, all the destroyers of the Tuba Road have naval guns with a caliber of 127 cm, and they are not dual-mounted artillery."

"Moreover, there are only two cannons, front and rear."

"The torpedoes used to destroy the transport ship many times."

"And the waterline of the hull is relatively shallow, so it can be judged that the armor protection of the hull is not strong."

"According to the judgment of the Military Command, the destroyers of Tubalu have insufficient firepower and the ship's armor protection is weak."

"Therefore, we believe that Tubalu's warship is nothing more than an empty shell assembled from design drawings provided by European countries, not a real ship."

"It's just some sea forts like ships."

Hideki Tojo frowned: "Are you trying to say it's a gunboat?"

Nagano Slim explained: "Maybe Prime Minister Tojo needs to think more complicatedly. It should be a relatively large torpedo boat with self-defense capabilities."

It's no wonder that Nagano's self-cultivation fantasized about destroyers. Of all the warships before World War II, which one did not put their lives on the battleships to pile up artillery and armor.

For battleships of the Yamato, Musashi, and Bismarck levels, it would take a long time to bombard them with artillery even if they were parked at sea.

Other battleships also try to pile up armor as much as possible.

Similarly, the vast majority of destroyers, at least to say, start with three 127mm twin-mounted artillery.

Therefore, the Spruance-class destroyer does not look like a conventional destroyer.

In addition, the information received by Yong Ye Xiushen was all written information, and there was no picture information at all.

When a picture becomes text and then becomes an image in the mind, it is equivalent to destructive compression, and then a layer of filter is added after expansion.

There are bound to be some problems with intelligence.

Therefore, no matter how detailed the text description is, it is not as direct as a photo.

Hearing what Nagano Slim said, Hideki Tojo also frowned.

After a while, Hideki Tojo asked back: "If this is the case, then what is the situation of the complete annihilation of the Fourth Fleet?"

Yong Ye Xiushen continued to explain: "We guess it should have something to do with Tubalu's plane."

"The Tuba Road now not only has absolute air supremacy on the Chinese mainland."

"It also extends air supremacy to the East China Sea and South China Sea."

"Sometimes we will find Tubalu fighter jets in our prevention and control network in northern Myanmar."

"We believe that this should be the fighter jets of Tubalu participating in the battle."

"Just like when we wiped out the British Eastern Fleet, the Fourth Fleet that was wiped out."

Hideki Tojo frowned, air supremacy!

Hideki Tojo never thought that air supremacy would be so important before launching it.

Before that, not only Hideki Tojo, but most of the military strategists during the interwar period thought that the appearance of bombers was nothing more than an 'air fort'.

Just to support ground forces in operations.

I never thought that relying on the strength of the Air Force itself can basically solve a battle.

However, with the continuous advancement of the war, the integration of air and ground, and full-depth suppression finally let the devils know how the plane is used.

This incident also caused Tojo Hideki some headaches.

The equipment update speed of World War II was too fast. For example, after the famous Tiger came out, it only ran rampant on the battlefield for a year, and then it was constantly targeted by various heavy tanks.

The "Zero" fighter also has the same fate. It didn't take long to be cool on the battlefield of World War II before it appeared the title of matchbox in the air.

Now there is a real generation gap between the fighters of the Devils and the fighters of the Eighth Route Army. If they lose the air supremacy, how can they fight!
