It is abnormal to make such a motion in itself, and it is even a bit unpredictable, because the Japanese army traditionally does not pay attention to logistics. The navy is a little stronger, but it is better than the army. This lack of attention is not only reflected in the fact that the plan for logistics and supplies in large-scale warfare is never formulated, but even the mature escort and transportation system is not sound, and even the talents who can handle overall escort are not present. Only officers who are looked down upon or injected into the cold palace will do the rear weapon.

If the joint fleet went to Europe and the United States without the strong support of Germany and Italy and the far-sighted vision of Hori Teiki, the combat effectiveness would be at least half the discount. In addition, Germany attaches importance to logistics, the second in charge of the General Staff is not the deputy chief of staff in charge of operations, but the deputy chief of staff in charge of military supplies (the first chief of staff) in charge of military supplies. Even the Eastern Front Military Supply Director also appointed Schmont, the head of state's confidant adjutant. The degree of attention is evident, which deeply touches the joint fleet and also brings this idea back to the country.

Now, not only do we pay attention to logistics and transportation, but we also propose to strengthen anti-submarine, air defense, escort, communication, dispatch and integration. Basically, the ideas that we dare not imagine before were all proposed. There is a vague intention that fits Horitiki's reform ideas. Although some conservatives do not agree, the situation is stronger than people. The situation is here. People cannot pay attention to the fact that transport ships often load industries and weapons and equipment from Europe. Is it better to sink one?

From Horita Yoshiki, he attaches great importance to escort. Lieutenant General Kurita Keno, who successfully completed the escort mission in the entire expedition, ranked very high in the list of merit reports, probably second only to major combat generals such as Tsukahara and Kakuda. This action is even more impressive, and even Kurita himself was deeply surprised. Horita himself also talked to him personally, expressing his promotion to establish the Nanyang Escort Operations Command, hoping to take charge of all matters such as air, submarine, aviation, electricity, etc., and be in charge of the entire route from Europe to the Far East. This is an amazing emphasis, and it is even more important than being the commander of the fleet. Although it is not the final say of whether such a command can be established and whether the system can be promoted reform, Kurita Keno, who blindly believes in the superior, agreed to him, and he believed that the superior must have a solution.

Now, we have quickly gained a consensus on how to build 48 escort aircraft carriers in one go. The difference is how to build and what to build.

Just when the meeting was still discussing what civil ships to use to convert the escort aircraft carrier, Fumimiya Hakukyu had already retired early on the excuse of being unwell. Today's scene made him fully understand that he had lost the dominance of the meeting. Hori Teiki and Yamamoto Iroku joined forces to sing and exert the influence of the aviation faction to the greatest extent. In fact, after losing the support of the joint fleet, the fleet faction became a sourceless water without roots. But no one expected that the fleet faction would be defeated in the shipbuilding plan. Not to mention that the main battleship had no share of the fleet, even the light warships and auxiliary warships began to tilt towards the aviation faction.

Looking at the "Outline of the Implementation of the Maru New Plan", the fleet was almost labeled as "outdated" and left the stage of history:

1. The main ships only build aircraft carriers, and the aviation group occupy an absolute dominant position;

2. Emphasize that part of the shipbuilding budget is made to the aviation budget, and that the aviation delegation will benefit completely;

3. Light warships emphasize air defense and anti-submarine, abandoning the heavy lightning equipment they have always insisted on, but the aviation mission still accounts for the majority;

4. It has been determined to vigorously build submarines and develop breakthroughs. The fleet may never pay attention to the role of submarines;

5. Vigorously build standard escort aircraft carriers. The Army and Navy reached a consensus to transform them based on the special tl 10,000-ton wartime standard tanker. The level is renamed the special escort aircraft carrier. The standard displacement is more than 10,000 tons, and it has a 132-meter-long deck. The power is ready to be increased to 9,000 horsepower, with a maximum speed of 18.5 knots, and can carry 9 aircraft on the deck.

Since seizing the US military's fast tanker and obtaining several 20,000-ton high-speed tankers from Europe, the joint fleet has looked down on the slow and small-load tankers in China and believes that they can be used for transformation. However, Japan is quite self-aware and knows that its special TL-type 10,000-ton wartime standard tanker is too far from the United States, and it is impossible to obtain combat effectiveness similar to the Borg-class, and it is even less likely to have Casablanca-class capabilities. Therefore, the combat mission given to it is mainly anti-submarine, followed by transportation.

It is also a 10,000-ton escort aircraft carrier, with a Borg-class carrying capacity of 28 aircraft, and only 10 aircraft carriers, which is only one-third of the opponent. However, because Japan relies heavily on Nanyang crude oil, the space freed up is used to transport fuel. Each aircraft carrier can transport an additional 8,000-9,000 tons of fuel. According to the new tactical research policy, a fast-speed and strong escort aircraft carrier such as the Daying and Chongying Eagle will become the core of the escort aircraft carrier team, which is called the escort leader ship, and the special escort aircraft carrier will form a high and low combination with it.

When the joint fleet returned this time, the Shipbuilding Headquarters was happily preparing to survey and map and imitate the US rapid oil tanker to build its own large oil tanker. With the increase of mechanized equipment and naval ships, Japan's demand for Borneo oil is becoming increasingly urgent. In addition to introducing patented coal liquefaction technology from Germany to improve the level of liquefied oil, it is doing everything possible to explore the southern oil production. Large oil tankers must be built. There are ready-made templates to refer to, so why not do it?

Another auxiliary effect brought by the Joint Fleet's return to China and Maru New Plan was that it interrupted the tank construction plan of the Japanese Navy! Historically, the army built aircraft carriers and the navy built tanks, and the Japanese Empire was so willful. Now there is a German import channel, as long as you pay, you can buy high-end goods such as No. 4, Tiger, etc., and there are even a pile of Italian tanks and French tanks. In addition, they are still trying to localize T-34, so both the army and the navy look down on their original ruins. Since the army happily handed over the aircraft carrier to the navy, the navy also reciprocated and stuffed the ones they built into and half-formed chariots to the army. There is a formal name called the Type 2 internal fireboat.

This kind of 9 tons of things is actually a little better than some broken ****s of the Army, such as 95 light tanks, but the Army now has a higher vision and is not as good as these things. But the Army is used to it and is reluctant to return to the furnace as scrap steel. After turning his mind, it is sold domestically and exported, and placed on the list of military output to China. Now the export of arms to China is a big business, including French mortars, Italian infantry artillery, European countries, Japanese-made or intentional tanks, and aircraft are everywhere. As long as you are willing to pay, it is easy to say, or even use materials to pay. Last time, the army directly issued arms in Indochina, all of them were put into the hands of local powerful figures of the National Government, and the next export target was to control the armed forces in the northern part of the Yellow River.

The General Staff Headquarters has done statistics. After the weapons, ammunition and equipment exported to China can be equipped with about 200,000 to 250,000 people. The armed forces are relatively poor, and only less than a quarter of them have been bought. The rest have been bought by the National Government and local powers. Recently, both sides have been defeated, and the US fire from India has been greatly reduced, and the arms market is bullish. The senior management of the Chinese dispatched troops are ready to make their business bigger. The General Staff Headquarters has clear standards for the transfer of officer positions: Anyone who is not open is not open.

All the secrets returned to China and promoted to the reserve service after being promoted to the first level; they were sent to the Nanyang Island guarding the island openly and secretly; they were flexible in mind, quickly turned directions, and good business was sent to India to make contributions. Although some people used this to attack Ishihara Kanir, with King Minorhiko Higashimiya, no one could move Ishihara a hair. In addition, the Indian war was going smoothly, gold was obtained in tons, and a large number of new heavy equipment was obtained. Ishihara's reputation was at its peak, and the concept of the intermediate officers of the Chinese dispatched army was also changing.

Of course, some good things are reluctant to be exported. For example, the Soviet TT-33 got thousands of tt-33s this time. As a result, the Japanese officers who had seen them generally believed that they were better than the southern ones they equipped with, and would rather use the Soviet Union than the southern ones. Later, the Army Province, which obeyed public opinion, ordered the officers to argue for whether to replace them or not. All the replaced southern ones were dumped at a low price to the National Government of Siam, China and India.

In terms of shipbuilding, the fleet team had completely lost their power and had no choice but to struggle. In the end, it finally slightly saved a little face in lightning tactics: in addition to submarines, according to the cooperation agreement between Japan and Germany, Germany decided to give 12 S boats to Japan, and at the same time, the cost could be given to the Japanese side, and the cost could be withdrawn from the special submarine credit. In order to take care of the fleet team's face, Yamamoto proposed to purchase an additional 24 S boats, plus a total of 36 ships given away. Hori Teiki also agreed.

However, officers with practical experience on the front line knew that although the S-boat has good combat effectiveness, its range is too short, and it is impossible to accompany the attack from a long sea. It is very good to use it to defend islands and short assaults in various parts of the Southeast Asian region. It is better to say that it is a defensive vanguard rather than a group of wolves in lightning battle. This is obviously not even a comfort for the fleet that has a great appetite and has always insisted on attacking.

On October 9, under the premise of the determination of major policies, the Shimamasa Headquarters finally submitted a complete "Maruxin Plan". Almost all opinions and suggestions followed the intention of the Joint Fleet. The only addition was that considering that the water aircraft carrier was relatively small, the 17,000-ton Shenwei was built into a new water aircraft carrier.

According to the new plan, starting from Showa 19 (1944), all previous shipbuilding plans will be abolished except for those that started on the ship platform. A new round of aircraft carrier-centered plans will be fully implemented. A total of 11.7 billion yen will be invested in 1.89 million tons of new warships within five years, including the reconstruction of warships.

Although the fleet was defeated in this round, Fumimi Miyaki Hirokyo was very calm and would hold a high-level meeting for personnel discussions, promotions and the next battle direction in two days. He was still thinking about the way to restrict Hori Teiki, but what he never expected was that on October 11, the other party submitted a reform proposal directly with the power of the tent, which immediately stirred up a thousand layers of water...
