Chapter 99: Japanese Navy High-level Meeting
After the old Japanese officer Major General Yoshida Nanpu and Major General Shiozawa were bombed by the I-5 fighter group and the TB-1 bomber group, the Japanese Navy Ministry, the Inukai Cabinet, and Navy Minister Osumi Mineo during the cabinet period also held an emergency operation meeting again in the Japanese Homeland.
Chief of Naval Operations Taniguchi Hisashi, Chief of Staff Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko, Prince Fushimi Hiroyasu, and Chief of Naval Operations Prince Fushimi Hiroyasu also participated,
At this time, snowflakes were falling in the capital of the Japanese Homeland, and the weather was also starting to get cold,
But in such an environment,
These Japanese Navy high-level officials wearing warm clothes had very gloomy expressions and gathered together.
“Baka! Are Major General Yoshida Nanpu and Major General Shiozawa trash?”
“They were actually bombed by a small air force on their own command position?”
“Don’t they know air defense evasion?”
“Just standing there stupidly getting bombed?”
“As for these air forces of unknown origin, has the intelligence agency investigated their origin for me?”
“Is it foreigners’ air force? Or Chinese Army’s air force?”
“Why haven’t I received a complete intelligence report even now?”
“What exactly is the intelligence agency eating? Is their intelligence collection capability this poor?”
“In a moment, I must dispatch someone to the intelligence agency to make these idiots immediately report clearly to me the details of this enemy aircraft group of unknown origin and what exactly happened!”
After all Japanese Navy high-level officials arrived, Chief of Naval Operations Prince Fushimi Hiroyasu was also the first to curse.
“These two guys, Major General Yoshida Nanpu and Major General Shiozawa, were really too careless and extremely disappointing!”
“Even facing a sudden attack by the enemy aircraft group, it’s not to the extent that both would be killed in action on their own command position at the same time!”
“They simply lost all the face of our Imperial Navy!”
“So we must dispatch some battle-hardened, shrewd and capable officers to take over from these two guys!”
“As for the person in charge of the intelligence agency, I have already warned them and told them to speed up reconnaissance. In a moment, we can go inquire about the result!”
After Chief of Naval Operations Prince Fushimi Hiroyasu finished speaking, Chief of Staff Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko also spoke up.
“That’s a must! We absolutely will not allow an enemy aircraft group of unknown origin to destroy our carefully prepared Shanghai Operation this time. Victory must belong to our Imperial Navy!”
“The battle has just started not many days ago, yet within one day, two major generals were killed in action at the same time. It’s really too outrageous. The Army Department side is probably already mocking and ridiculing us!”
“So for such a humiliation, we must retaliate!”
“This time, two trash major generals were bombed by the air strike bombing of those enemy aircraft groups of unknown origin. Although it was their own incompetence that harmed them, our air force also bears some responsibility, because they actually couldn’t pursue these suddenly attacking enemy aircraft groups. You know, when the war broke out, we had the air force side try their best to pay attention to and bomb all Chinese Army’s airports and important military facilities!”
“So the air force side must be warned and punished, and make them increase the intensity of flight reconnaissance, so that enemy aircraft groups cannot suddenly carry out air strike bombing incidents again!”
“Additionally, our air force must also start from this moment to intensify retaliatory bombing operations on Chinese Army positions!”
“No matter whether this time it was the Chinese Army’s air force that bombed to death the two trash Major General Yoshida Nanpu and Major General Shiozawa! We must bomb and destroy the Chinese Army’s command post and all important military facilities!”
“We must make all enemies who dare to challenge our Imperial Navy, including foreigners, see our power! Let them feel the might of our Navy Department!”
Chief of Naval Operations Prince Fushimi Hiroyasu spoke again.
After hearing this, all Japanese high-level officials were silent, but soon nodded in agreement.
Including Chief of Staff Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko, who often sang a different tune, also nodded in agreement.
Because the outbreak of the Shanghai Operation was a relatively important matter for these Navy people.
So after they lost two major general commanders killed in action, they must find a way to immediately regain the face lost by their Navy.
After all Japanese high-level officials agreed to the proposal of Chief of Naval Operations Prince Fushimi Hiroyasu,
Next, these Navy high-level officials also continued to discuss sending reinforcements to Shanghai, as well as making the air force strengthen defenses against the next sudden sneak attack by those air forces of unknown origin.
After the meeting ended,
All Japanese Navy high-level officials went together to the highest person in charge of the intelligence agency,
Because they also wanted to know what forces those air forces of unknown origin belonged to, and whether it was foreigners’ air force interfering with their operation plan.
