Section 1193 Tokyo and Hawaii

Tokyo, Navy Command.

Doihara, the military command chief Fushimimiya Hirokyo, and the third minister Minor Maeda sat around the table. The three of them looked at the telegram sent by the Japanese Consulate in Honolulu and smiled with satisfaction.

"Yaxi, Hase-kun is worthy of being the flower of information from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and is very elite." Fushimi Miyamiya Hirokyo praised his relatives for their words.

Minor Maeda also nodded in agreement. The imperial intelligence agency failed repeatedly in the Republic of China, but the Hasegawa agency was able to successfully lurk in the mountain city. It was indeed not explained by the word "luck".

This time, the other party was responsible for the task in Hawaii. In less than a month, he obtained the hydrological and meteorological information, ability and skills of Pearl Harbor, and he must have been under a lot of unknown pressure.

Seeing the two of them satisfied, as Hasegawa Ryosuke's recommendation, Doihira and Yui's honor.

He wiped his beard with a reserved attitude, picked up the message and said softly: "With the information sent back by Hasegun, the navy can conduct simulated attack training on the local area first."

Upon hearing this, Fumimi Miyaki Hirokyo and Maeda Minor nodded slightly, and they both had the same thoughts at this moment.

According to the instructions of the base camp and the Sky Locust, attacking Pearl Harbor was the first step in the southward advance plan, occupying Southeast Asia was the second step, and the west coast of the United States was just a smokescreen to confuse enemy spies.

In recent years, the Locust Army's foreign military plans have been leaked, and intelligence activities have been set aside many times, and there must be problems within the empire.

In order to lead this hateful mole and prevent the United States or other countries from receiving the news in advance, even Hasegur, who was in charge of the specific task, did not know where the empire's real goal was.

Now that Pearl Harbor is in hand, early preparations are imminent, and a perfect raid requires precise and meticulous planning.

"Weapons are the major affairs of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival and death, and must be observed."

King Fushimi Miyaki Hiroki quoted a paragraph from "The Art of War: The Strategy of the Sun Tzu" in the Republic of China dialect. After saying that, he looked at Minori Maeda and signaled to the other party to introduce the navy's arrangements for the attack plan.

"Hayi."

Minor Maeda bowed, walked to the wall and opened a green curtain, revealing the large Pacific map below, then picked up the baton and poked the openings of several places on the map.

"This raid on Pearl Harbor was named Z Plan by Commander Yamamoto of the Joint Fleet. The first thing we need to solve is the choice of routes. As we all know, there are three routes from the empire to Pearl Harbor.

One is a northern route that travels eastward and then goes south through the waters south of the Aleutian Islands.

One is a central route that is often used by merchant ships from various countries to pass near Midway Island.

The other is a southern route that goes southwest through the Marshall Islands and approaches Pearl Harbor.

The advantage of the northern route is that it is very small in chance of encountering merchant ships, and its disadvantages are poor weather, heavy waves and fog, and difficulty in sailing in large formations.

The advantage of the other two routes is that the meteorological environment is good, the wind and waves are not very large, and the disadvantage is that they are easily discovered by the US shore-based aviation forces."

Maeda Minori told the advantages and disadvantages of the three routes, fully demonstrating the professionalism of the Japanese Navy, and then put down the baton and said confidently.

"After the operation on the chart and the calculation of the winning rate, the key to success or failure of the action is whether it can be achieved suddenly. In the end, the Military Command decided to carry out a surprise attack on the Northern route.

To this end, Commander Yamamoto formulated two combat plans: "sneak attack" and "strong attack".

One is to carry out a "sneak attack" without any precautions in the United States.

First, torpedo attack surface ships, secondly, dive bombing ground airports and dock facilities, and then horizontal bombing bombing at high altitudes.

The second is to carry out "forced attacks" when the Americans are prepared.

That is, first use fighter jets to seize air supremacy, use dive bombers to destroy airport facilities and ground air defense positions, and then use torpedo attack aircraft and bombers to destroy ships, airports and other important targets."

Doihara listened carefully to the other party's report, compared the performance of the navy and army officers in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The navy, who studied under the British, was much better than the army, in terms of equipment level, combat ideas, and personnel qualities.

If it were replaced by the Army General Staff Headquarters to plan the operation, I would probably only end up with one conclusion, that is, the Japanese Locust Army is invincible and the US Navy is vulnerable.

As for the plan, what plan? Just go in and out.

On the other side, Maeda Minori pulled the rope, and the Pacific map on the wall was slowly closed, and a map of Japan appeared in front of the three.

"According to the intelligence sent by Hasegun and the Empire's previous understanding of Pearl Harbor, I think the carrier-based aircraft participating in the operation can train ship attacks and torpedo attacks in Kagoshima.

The reason is that the water depth of Kagoshima is not much different from that of Pearl Harbor, both of which are about 15 meters, and the terrain is similar to Pearl Harbor. After flying over the mountains, there is a military port below.

Diving from a mountain to a fierce attack of more than ten meters above the sea surface, then quickly soaring into the air, and also avoiding ground artillery fire. This requires a high level of demand for pilots and must be familiar with it in advance."

Pointing to a region in southern Kyushu, Maeda Minori expressed his opinion, then stood aside, waiting for the orders of Fushimi Miyaki Hiroki.

With just one piece of information, Maeda Minori obviously remembered the data of all local ports. Such skill in making great knowledge is really jaw-dropping.

Fushimi Miyaki Hirokyo was secretly proud, and his subordinates showed their faces in front of the army. The most glorious one was him, the chief of the Navy Command.

The earth-fat principle smiled far-fetchedly, thought quickly for a while in his mind, asked a few questions, and tried to save some face for the Army.

"Prince, Maeda, if I remember correctly, the "September 1" torpedo of the Empire will dive 100 meters on its own after falling into the water, while the water depth of Pearl Harbor is only more than ten meters. How to solve this problem?

Besides, the range of the northern route is nearly 10,000 nautical miles, and the wind and waves are extremely strong, and the fleet's oil supply is very difficult. Have these navies dealt with?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting contents later! Fushimi Miyaki Hiroshi and Maeda Minori smiled at each other, and the latter took out a document and handed it to Doihara, which contained hundreds of problems that needed to be solved.

(1) Total number of ships anchored at Pearl Harbor.

(2) The ship's hull number and ship name.

(3) The parking position of battleships and aircraft carriers.

(4) The parking and tethering of battleships.

(5) Dynamics of battleships and aircraft carriers entering and leaving ports.

(6) The time required for the battleship to drive from the anchorage to outside the port.

(7) The date with the largest number of ships arriving in Pearl Harbor every week.

(8) Are battleships equipped with lightning protection nets when they are parked?

(9) The number of days and locations of battleship docking.

(10) Is there any parallel chaining of battleships? Is it a special situation or is it often?

(11) Are there large aircraft patrolling at dawn and dusk? If so, how many aircraft will be dispatched?

(12) Aviation bases and permanent troops in the Hawaiian Islands.

(13) When an aircraft carrier enters and leaves the port, will the carrier-based aircraft take off outside the port?

(14) Number of aircraft racks at Ford Island Airport in Pearl Harbor Bay.

(15) Are there any blocked balloons in the Pearl Harbor airspace?

…………

Doihira knew that since the Navy had even noticed these trivial matters, the depth of torpedoes and fuel issues were naturally planned, so he immediately lowered his head and bowed to Fushimi Miyaki Hirokyo.

"I was abrupt, Your Excellency the Prince."

When Fushimi Miyaki Hirokyo saw the army bowing, he laughed and helped the other party: "Dohihara Jun, you don't have to do this. The Hase you recommended is very good. I will ask Your Majesty Tianlou for your merits."

The atmosphere at the scene immediately became harmonious.

The earth and fat people returned to their favor and said that they would contact the Honolulu Consulate immediately and urge the Hague authorities to find out the information on the documents as soon as possible.

As the two sides talked, the Z plan gradually entered the implementation stage from paper, and the good days for Americans are coming to an end.

In the afternoon of the same day, an extremely long telegram was sent from Tokyo to Oahu. The US ONI technical department, which was responsible for monitoring the Japanese consulate, intercepted the telegram and quickly reported the matter layer by layer.

Nasan Har, who led the team to monitor Zuoge and Ozawakawa, fell into deep thought after receiving the report.

As the head of ONI on Oahu, he instinctively felt a crisis approaching, and the source of the crisis was the ubiquitous Japanese.

During this period, the frequency of telegrams at the Japanese Consulate in Honolulu has increased significantly, and this situation is extremely abnormal when the Pacific situation is stable.

However, Japan and the United States have not started a war at present. If there is no conclusive evidence, ONI's surveillance activities of Japanese diplomats must be kept low-key to avoid causing diplomatic conflicts between the two countries.

After hesitation, Nassan Harr reported to Washington on the one hand, and ordered the strengthening of monitoring of the Japanese consulate and tracking all consulate staff who went out.

The plan is very good, but the problem is that in front of experienced Japanese agents, ONI agents who lack practical experience are like children in kindergartens, and the so-called tracking is even more useless.

The next morning, several Japanese consulate staff suddenly walked out of the gate separately. These people walked around the streets of Honolulu for a few times before leaving the American intelligence personnel behind without a trace, and did not appear again after three hours.

Afterwards, just when Nasan Har was furious at his subordinates, Zuo Chong had already taken the information from his dead mailbox and returned to Sugar Trading Company. The ONI agents along the way did not notice it at all.

When Ozawakawa, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Zuo Chong and asked quickly: "Nan Jiajun, what is the order from Tokyo? How long can we retreat?"

He didn't want to stay here for a minute. If he could choose, he would rather go to the United Fleet to fight the Americans with real swords and guns.

Zuo Chong glanced at him, took out the stone containing information, used tools to divide it into two halves, took out a note from it, and quickly finished reading it and threw it to Ozawa.

Looking at the investigation requests on the notes, Ozawakawa really wanted to grab the collars of the big men in Tokyo and slap them hard in the face.

They are spies, not staff members of the US Pacific Fleet, and the Americans will not open the gates of Pearl Harbor and let them record this sensitive information.

For example, temporary parking and tethering, one is a short stop that can be left at any time, and the other is a long stop. The difference is whether there are cable piles connecting the dock.

The two cannot be distinguished from a distance, and they must be observed from a close distance to see clearly.

He and Nan Jia can't row a boat into Pearl Harbor. One by one, be sure that the sentries of the US Navy are not blind or deaf.
