ps1: Congratulations to readers "Oriental Good" for becoming the leader of this book, thank you for your support.?

ps2: I won’t write the information chapter next time. I’m tired of writing. You’re tired of watching it. After reading it, I’m even tired of complaining about it. In the future, the article will only give conclusions, and the specific details will not be derived...

After listening to Chiaki Matsuda's introduction, combined with the German army's battle situation report and the telegram from Tsukahara from the front line, everyone was smiling:

First, Americans finally couldn't hold on and started flying in the flight class;

Second, the US air force is very large in scale and of poor quality, covering an atmosphere of pessimism. "Before attacking, they are required to write suicide notes, and mails to say goodbye to their family and relatives are piled up like mountains... The postman comes to pick it up every evening, but no one knows when he can go out."

Third, the United States was caught in a war of attrition on both sides, losing more than 5ooo aircraft in half a month, and at least half of the crew were lost.

"From the practice of Germany and the United States, it is necessary to set up a class, but the training time for our army's C flight subject is too short. It is recommended to extend it from the current 5 months to more than 8 months. Pilots should have a flight time of 2oo-25o hours. It is planned to set up a third-level training system for junior-level-advanced-practical trainer aircraft. Among them, some old models are used as: bombers can be trained by German Stuka, transport aircraft, torpedo aircraft are served by ju-52, and fighters are served by hurricanes..." Lieutenant General Hasegawa Kiichi, head of aviation. "The chief has agreed to allocate more outstanding pilots to be transferred to instructors, and at the same time ensure their training fuel."

Since this time and space special attack is not mainstream in Japan, there are still many young people who can act as pilots, and the number of aircraft has also increased significantly. Hasegawa Kiichi's proposal was highly agreed upon by everyone.

"From the first phase of the war, we have achieved some of the predetermined goals, namely occupying, consolidating Midway Island, Christmas Island and deterring Hawaii. The unreached goal is to annihilate and severely damage the remaining forces of the enemy Pacific Fleet. The fleet has been hiding in the Hawaii port and refused to show up. It has achieved an unexpected goal to consume the enemy's aviation crew reserves, of course, it has also paid a certain price, losing 40,000 tons of ships." Deputy Chief of the Military Command, Lt. Nishi Takiji, said, "The chief's meaning is very clear. On the one hand, it continues to exchange more tankers with the Americans to hit the morale of the opponents; on the other hand, it is to improve our own aviation capabilities, hoping to reduce the Japanese and American naval aviation forces to about 1:2 on the basis of improving the level of squads."

"The key now is whether ship manufacturing and acquisition can support it." Horitoki turned his attention to General Navy Sub-minister and Chief of Shimamama Main General Navy Nakami.

"To be honest, we cannot afford to use ships by relying solely on self-construction." Inoue Narimei smiled bitterly, "the existing shipbuilding capacity has an annual production capacity of about 50,000 tons of warship tonnage without considering the constraints of materials. If only medium-sized warships below 10,000 tons are built (i.e., no battleships, aircraft carriers and heavy patrols) can be barely increased to 650,000 tons. According to the conversion of one ton of warship tonnage into 4 tons of civilian ships, between 20,000 tons of merchant ship tonnage, plus some civil shipyard tonnage that does not manufacture warships, at most 40,000 tons. In fact, due to the constraints of steel production, this official believes that it is very ideal to complete 75%. I am worried that the progress of the new plan of the mafia will not be completed."

During the peak period of the Maru New Plan, the Maru New Plan requires more than 8 Axis class (20,000 tons), 16 escort aircraft carriers (160,000 tons), 12 Type B destroyers (Akiyue-changed air defense cruiser) (42,000 tons), and 48 Type D destroyers (low-cost escort destroyers) (96,000 tons). These alone are nearly 50,000 tons. The spy ship and supply ship must also be considered. The requirement is to complete the 1.89 million tons of warships within five years without delaying the repair and daily maintenance of the damaged warships.

However, Inoue Narimi's confidence is much more than when she first formulated the Maruxin Plan last year: First, Horikito takes over the power of the power, which can ensure the unchanged direction and resource allocation; second, the end of the Indian battle, China's battlefield withdraws in a large manner, and Japan can focus on solving the Pacific problem; third, with the assistance of Germany's technical output and equipment, Japan has improved a lot in many aspects, such as steel production increased from more than 70,000 tons to nearly 90,000 tons (the comparison with the United States finally changed from 1:1o to 1:9); fourth, Horikito is struggling and gets a lot of benefits from Europe at the cost of Pakistan and New Guinea, and many of them can also enrich the naval strength.

"I think that the consumption of 40,000 tons for 2ooo units is exchanged. If it is all warships, the Empire will never be able to bear the additional 50,000 tons of warship tonnage every year. The combined fleet stock is more than 20,000 tons, and more than 10,000 units will be consumed. If it is all merchant ships (cargo ships), it can be fully affordable. The Empire can replace 12,000 units with a new ship of more than 240,000 tons per year. There is also an existing merchant fleet of 80,000 tons. If it is all warships, it can be exchanged for 40,000 units. I don't believe that the US military can still have 40,000 units after consuming 12,000 units." Inoue Naimi looked at the data in her hands, "If it is measured by the proportion of 40,000 tons of warships and 60% of freighters, the annual additional tonnage can consume about 8ooo units of the US military."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief: Hori Teiki has prepared an additional 14o/10,000 tons of oil tankers, and this batch alone is enough to take a while for the Americans.

Yamamoto Izuru, who had been frowning, asked: "So, if there is no big data or change in the situation, will the tonnage switch be temporarily feasible?"

"feasible!"

Hori Teiki nodded with satisfaction: "Although it is feasible for the time being, we still need to think of ways to reduce our own consumption and expand the losses of the enemy. What other good methods do you have?"

"The officials have a way to reduce some oil tanker losses." Lieutenant General Keno Kurita, who has been coordinating transportation affairs, stood up and said.

"Please speak with Kurita."

"Some cargo ships can be used to carry out transportation functions," Keno Kurita explained. "Light fuels, such as gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel can be stacked in large oil barrels in the cargo tank. The tanker is only used to transport the most viscous and heavy oil, and even if the freighter uses space, it has expanded its scope of use. I used the seized American Freewheel to perform experiments before, and there is basically no problem loading 4ooo tons of fuel. And when unloading, the oil barrels are directly given, which eliminates filling time, which is very convenient for the island guarding troops. Of course, the fleet will be more troublesome, but it is not impossible to overcome. The only waste is that it needs to be rushed to build a large number of oil barrels."

Everyone immediately lit up. According to this method, they could free up the tonnage of the tanker to concentrate on carrying heavy oil.

"Your advice is very good, you're worried." Hori Teiki nodded, "Support the fleet formation, follow this method to promote it. Matsuda, tell you about the formation and combat situation of the support fleet."

"As the US Pacific Fleet has been reluctant to show up and uses the use of attrition tactics, the Chief decided to send a support fleet to provide support to the joint fleet since early October to further enhance the strength of the joint fleet. The main force of the support fleet is as follows:

Battle group: 3 aviation battles (Chitsui, Chiyoda), 5 aviation battles (Tiancheng, Katsuki), 2 cruisers, 4 air defense destroyers formations (16 Qiuyue, Qiuyue transformed into air defense destroyers), perform offensive missions

Auxiliary group: Asamamama, Ryudamama and Kamakuramama three auxiliary aircraft carriers (all transformed from a 17,000-ton mail ship with reference to the German auxiliary aircraft carrier, the largest flight festival), Yamahawk (the auxiliary aircraft carrier of the Brazilian Marushi Ship) and other auxiliary vessels perform direct cover missions;

Guard group: 6 TL type escort aircraft carriers, 4O cargo tankers, 24 Type D destroyers, performing transportation, escort, anti-submarine and other tasks

Submarine group: 24 German i and iv class submarines, 24 Japanese self-built I-type submarines (after Maruxin plan, Japan has all cut off the subsequent submarine construction support resources because it has been available for ready-made German submarines)

In addition, the Giant-class ship obtained from the UK is expected to be delivered in the middle of this month, and it is planned to conduct sea trials, training and perform alert tasks in the Indian Ocean; the Eighth Fleet continues to be responsible for patrols in the South China Sea."

Horitiki stood up and said with a sigh: "I will lead the support fleet to fight in person. The time is initially scheduled for January 1. After I communicated with the 6th Army, the 6th Army agreed to send one main 6th Army division and 4oo aircraft to occupy the island and follow-up operations. I plan to draw 2oo HNA 6-based aircraft to send it to the Central Pacific to form a long-term supportive combat situation. I expect this battle to last until the beginning of next year, so I will ask you all for domestic affairs."

"Sir, are you going to attack Hawaii?"

Horitiki shook his head: "No rush. First, the US presidential election is imminent, so we can take a look at the direction of the US situation; second, the US air force has not been exhausted yet, and the rash attack has suffered a lot of losses. I would rather fight the West Coast than Hawaii; third, the German army has laid a victory in South America. I expect that the next step of the Yuan Dynasty will march towards Central America and the Caribbean to see if the two sides have any opportunities for joint combat."

Many people want to advise Hori Teki not to take risks personally, but the main force of the joint fleet is in the Pacific Ocean, so there is no need to be negligent. It is still necessary for Hori Teki to take charge personally.

"When the main force of the joint fleet goes out, if the situation on other fronts changes, be sure to pay attention to coordination with the axis and not provoke easily. The Navy is deeply pleased with the Chongqing authorities' action to hand over the tanker as scheduled. As the first step to make up for Sino-Japanese relations, it agreed to hand over Wuhan to the Chongqing authorities, and the remaining conditions will be discussed in detail by the 6th Army. In the negotiations on the "Ninghan Union" of the Navy, the Navy also upholds an open attitude and is happy to see China's political reform; the negotiations in southern French Indochina for French aid are also continued, and no substantive commitments are given." Horitoki bowed deeply to Yamamoto, "A variety of affairs are intertwined, please be more worried." 8
