Home Categories world history War has never been so bloody 2. World War II US-Japan Pacific Showdown
Seeing the Yamato for the first time, Tsuji Masanobu couldn't believe his eyes. The "Yamato" ship is known as the "Yamato Hotel". From the hatch to the inside of the ship, it is really like stepping into a spacious hotel.Once an outsider gets lost inside, it is difficult to get out without a guide. The difference between this super battleship and the hotel is that it is also covered with various pipes of different thicknesses and colors, just like the countless blood vessels in the human body, any one of which is cut off may affect the whole body. The ship is like a person, Yamamoto's airs are big enough, he is not something that anyone can see immediately.

The first person who came out to receive Masanobu Tsuji was Kameto Kuroshima.In the United Fleet that year, there were two recognized eccentrics. One was Nagumo’s chief aide, Genda, known as “Crazy Genda” because of his radical thinking; the other was Yamamoto’s chief aide, Kuroshima, who also had a weird personality and was nicknamed "Black Island Strange Staff". Battleship Yamato.Together with "Musashi" and "Shinano", it is called the world's three largest ships.The largest warship owned by the United Kingdom and the United States is no more than 35,000 tons at best, while the full-load displacement of the "Yamato" is 72,000 tons. The "Yamato" was built secretly, and the construction cost was 150 billion yen, which is unimaginable in other countries.It can be seen that the Japanese may be relatively stingy in other aspects, but they are really willing to spend money on shipbuilding.

Both eccentrics have done extraordinary things: Genda drafted the draft "Z Plan" for the attack on Pearl Harbor, and Kuroshima drafted the specific content of "Z Plan". Hei Dao's brains are abnormal, and almost no one buys it. For the sake of "Z plan", even the military command can forcefully push back the words of the military command, let alone small roles such as the lieutenant and major. However, Masanobu Tsuji has his own way, and he also has the attributes of a weirdo, so he is called "the monster of Showa" by many people.After becoming a villain, he can be said to be very familiar with how to deal with those weird little friends in the past.

Seeing Kuroshima, Tsuji Masanobu didn't say a word, and first showed the business card of the front-line special observer of the staff headquarters: stop talking nonsense, I have something urgent, and I must see you Commander Yamamoto immediately. Who is the boldest?The villain is the boldest!Even a weirdo like Kuroshima is afraid of evil people. He was overwhelmed by the other party's "like me in person" posture. He really regarded Tsuji Masanobu as an imperial envoy sent by the General Staff Headquarters, and he didn't dare to delay at all. After asking Chief of Staff Ugaki Takashi for instructions, Tsuji Masanobu was taken directly to the command cabin.

Kuroshima panicked and spoke incoherently, so Yamamoto didn't understand at first, thinking it was the frontline personnel who came to report the situation to him.Unexpectedly, the person who came was not his subordinates, but a so-called "special commissioner" with his head held high, his chest puffed out, and he was arrogant. In today's world, people are only afraid of the King Kong with his eyes open, but not the Buddha with his eyes closed.Tsuji Masanobu had already benefited from Kuroshima, so he simply let go of his hands and feet and showed off his true character as a villain.As soon as he saw Yamamoto, he was not polite, and directly accused him unceremoniously: "The Army Staff Headquarters is very dissatisfied with the battle on Guadalcanal. Both attacks failed, and there is also a factor of unfavorable cooperation by the Navy!"

After Yamamoto figured out Tsuji Masanobu's intentions, he remained silent.Masanobu Tsuji had been prepared for a long time, and then he began to play a bitter scene: "Actually, the Eighth Fleet has not sent enough warships to escort the transport fleet, which has caused the Army's supplies to never be transported, and the supply on the island has been cut off. One month. The officers and soldiers on the island ran out of ammunition and food, and they could only rely on coconuts, grass roots, wild vegetables and berries to satisfy their hunger. Even if they didn't die in the battle, they were almost starved to death..."

Masanobu Tsuji described it vividly, saying that Kawaguchi himself is now "thinner than Gandhi".Speaking of this, he also dropped a few drops of "crocodile tears". The scene is enough, but Yamamoto, like all the unattainable big shots, still didn't make any statement, just looked at Masanobu Tsuji intently. Tsuji Masanobu is not afraid of weird people, but he is afraid of villains with a harder heart than himself, so he even became tactful in his speech: "I took the liberty to come here to ask for an interview, to convey the words of General Hyakutake-the 17th Army should land on Guadalcanal Island intact , we can’t repeat the same mistakes, if destroyers are used to transport them here and there, they will be destroyed one by one by the enemy with superior forces.”

Yamamoto remained silent.Masanobu Tsuji gasped at Yamamoto's reaction. If Yamamoto was always so superior and stayed out of things, he would have no choice but to go back home. Not to mention his embarrassment, how could he hang around with Hyakutake in the future? Masanobu Tsuji gritted his teeth. Since he came to beg for food, he couldn’t be afraid of offending the cook. No matter what, he went all out: “The navy can’t just consider its own difficulties. If you still refuse to send an escort fleet, our heavy artillery and supplies will be lost.” Not being able to travel with the team will greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of the troops."

After entering the specific situation set up by himself, Tsuji Masanobu's idiot personality exploded, and he let go of the rein and ran like he did in front of Tojo: "General Hyakutake has made up his mind, and even under that situation, he will lead his troops to Guadalcanal, even if you die on the way, you will not hesitate!" Without waiting for Masanobu Tsuji to continue playing, Yamamoto suddenly slapped the table: "How could this be so, it's unreasonable!" After finishing speaking, he turned around angrily. Tsuji Masanobu's heart sank, it broke, and the drama was too much, and finally angered the big man.

After a while, Yamamoto turned his face slowly again, and to Tsuji's surprise, his face was covered with tears. Masanobu Tsuji was very surprised by Yamamoto's next words: "Cooperate sincerely with the Army and jointly recapture the airport. If the supply fails, then I, the commander-in-chief, will feel sad and ashamed first.” The boss is the boss, look at his awareness.Tsuji Masanobu couldn't hold back his excitement, he stood up from the table, and just about to say something, Yamamoto stopped him with gestures: "Please go back and tell General Hyakutake that the combined fleet will go all out and send a powerful escort fleet , to ensure that the requirements of the 17th Army are met.”

Yamamoto also said that if necessary, he could send the flagship "Yamato" to dock directly in Guadalcanal. "In short, the army does not need to be involved in this anymore, and the navy will cooperate with the army at any time." Originally, I came here just to beg for a bowl of rice, but I didn't expect that someone would give me a table of agate as a gift.Masanobu Tsuji was stunned. He hastily raised his hand to salute Yamamoto: "General, I don't know how to thank you for the Army..." Yamamoto waved his hand: "This is what I should do. But, please do some work, and advise General Hyakutake to give me some face. It is best to take a destroyer to Guadalcanal Island to ensure his safety. No. 17 The army needs him to command the overall situation, so don't risk your own life!" Although after a long time of tossing, the transportation method has returned to the track of "Tokyo Express", but it is already a remarkable improvement compared to the Navy's attitude of letting go.What's more, Yamamoto is so humble, which is equivalent to giving the army enough face, which has never been done before. What else?Needless to say.In an instant, Tsuji Masanobu's brain also went blank, and he was completely fascinated by Yamamoto's demeanor. Since then, Masanobu Tsuji has become a loyal fan of Yamamoto. He praised Yamamoto: "How many generals like this are there in the army? I even want to be a naval staff officer, even if I die under the command of this marshal , willingly." He also said with emotion: "It is not an exaggeration to say that the fate of the entire navy, no, the entire Japan, rests on this little five-foot-tall man." Tsuji returned to Rabaul with great satisfaction.Hyakutake's surprise is inexplicable: the nine sons of the dragon are different, and Tsuji Masanobu's thorny head is usually particularly annoying, but it can come in handy at critical moments. Tsuji Masanobu immediately became a big hit in the 17th Army headquarters, and Hyakutake's action plan for attacking Henderson Airport was all planned by his "old man".
