Chapter 1194 You still don't understand what I mean?
Keiko Kobayashi noticed that everyone still didn't understand.
She didn't keep you in suspense.
"Washington and Tokyo can no longer cooperate. They will fight each other sooner or later. Perhaps their next focus will be on fighting Washington. Don't forget, if they do that, things will be easier for the Northern Soviet Union."
Takeshita Shun had already understood what Kobayashi Keiko meant.
This rebellion in Victory City needs to be presented to the Northern Soviet Union in the light of Tokyo's actions. This requires guidance, and what they need to do now is act as that guide, letting the Northern Soviet Union know that the rebellion in Victory City was indeed orchestrated by Tokyo.
"Let's pack up and head to Victory City."
Zhou Weiguo had been here for some time. When he arrived, Hasegawa Kiyoshi had already gone to Tokyo to hold a military conference.
This meeting lasted for several days.
Today, Kiyoshi Hase finally returned from Tokyo.
He didn't go to Hase Kiyoshi immediately; it was Hase Kiyoshi who came to him.
He glanced at the three people sitting in the room in different postures.
Hasegawa Kiyoshi sighed and handed his general's hat to the adjutant beside him. "You three, you're not just here for a cursory glance, are you?"
"Do you think so?" Zhou Weiguo asked rhetorically.
Hasegawa Kiyoshi shook his head. From the moment his adjutant told him that the three of them had been here for some time, he knew what they were doing here.
"Tokyo is indeed discussing the issue of going to war with Washington, but as you think, the Pacific Fleet is the biggest obstacle. If we cannot completely eliminate the Pacific Fleet, our supply lines will be threatened by them."
“I remember discussing this issue with you before, and I even remember Xiao Ya talking to you about it. Why don’t you start from this point?”
Hasegawa Kiyoshi chuckled twice.
He didn't think it was a good approach.
With thousands of kilometers of sea surface, in this era of rapid development in air power, troops going out are very likely to be discovered by the enemy.
The Pacific Fleet is quite powerful and has a strategic location, so taking them down would be no easy task.
"The journey is too long, how can we hide it? Also, the best way to deal with them is with torpedo bombers, but you don't know, our aircraft carriers simply cannot support their takeoff."
If a torpedo bomber doesn't glide long enough, it will crash into the sea.
Zhou Weiguo crossed his legs.
He didn't really need to think much about this plan; he could just copy it exactly.
"The journey is long, so we can silence the radio and broadcast after the attack is successful. As for torpedo bombers, why can't we use wooden bombers?"
The words "wooden bomber" made Hasegawa Kiyoshi stare wide-eyed at Zhou Weiguo.
That's perfectly normal. Who does that? It's sending soldiers to their deaths.
"Your people are all crazy. If they knew that all of this was for the empire and for your emperor, I think many people would get involved. The wooden aircraft I mentioned is just to reduce some unnecessary weight. In addition, you can also modify the torpedoes. I think it wouldn't be difficult for your military industry to accomplish this."
Isn't it difficult?
Kiyoshi Hase didn't think so.
"You don't understand the navy, you..."
“I don’t understand the navy, but I do understand interests. This method may be risky, but it’s worth trying. You can’t exactly use submarines, can you?”
The aircraft carriers stationed there are heavily armored, and the destroyers will also move at high speeds to protect the aircraft carriers from the first wave of attacks.
A submarine only has a limited number of torpedoes; once they're all launched, that's it.
If he's lucky, he might survive; if he's unlucky, they're all doomed. And he believes the chances of any of the submarines returning are extremely slim.
"Since there are sacrifices involved, whether they are huge or small, you should be able to distinguish between them. Besides, you are good at gambling, so isn't this one of the ways to gamble?"
Zhou Weiguo's words actually persuaded Hasegawa Kiyoshi.
"It really... really works."
Zhou Weiguo could have told Hasegawa Kiyoshi directly that it was entirely feasible, but he couldn't say so, so he changed his approach and said with a smile, "Whether it will work or not, you shouldn't ask me, but rather ask your Minister of the Navy and what he wants."
As long as he's thinking about profit, he'll definitely try to find a way to resolve this matter.
With a plan in mind, Hasegawa Kiyoshi secretly returned to Tokyo that very day. However, he did not expect that Zhou Weiguo and Asaka Shurei would also be going.
He had no choice but to bring the two people with him.
The sudden appearance of the two people startled Prince Asaka upon his return.
He sized up his son-in-law and daughter for a while; "They've come to cause trouble."
“Let’s go, let’s not cause trouble.” Zhou Weiguo shook his head in denial.
Prince Asaka chuckled twice.
He didn't believe a word of those words. When Zhou Weiguo came here, he also spoke of a peaceful ending, but who knew that he would still take action in the end?
Now, how could he possibly believe this person who tells him not to cause trouble?
Zhou Weiguo had no intention of causing trouble; he was genuinely just strolling around and also wanted to share his thoughts with Prince Asaka.
The Army General Staff will definitely try to stop the Navy's plan.
He did not want the Army to obstruct the Navy's plans this time.
After explaining his plans, Zhou Weiguo lit a cigarette. "Father-in-law, what do you think?"
“Not so.” Prince Asaka chuckled. “The conflict between the Army and the Navy has continued since their formation. It’s not something that can be explained in a few words. Getting the Army to back down is harder than climbing to heaven.”
It's not that easy. The conflict between the two sides can be described as a struggle for survival resources.
The navy has a small number of personnel but can use two-thirds of the military budget, while the army has a large number of personnel but a pitifully small amount of military budget available.
The navy eats fine rice, milk, bread, and red wine, but the army, in order to conserve resources, doesn't even dare to use large-caliber artillery. They're worried about resource shortages.
“Father-in-law, you should look at it from another perspective. I think that as long as your army thinks this way, you will definitely reap unexpected rewards.”
Another aspect.
It wasn't that Prince Asaka didn't want to think about it; rather, he did. He even discussed the matter with Minami Sōrin.
The answer is simple: the conflict between the navy and the army cannot be explained in a few words, nor can it be resolved.
Shaking his head signifies both his bewilderment and renewed affirmation.
After stubbing out his cigarette, Zhou Weiguo said, "Father-in-law, you probably still don't understand what I mean."
