Noon on July 2nd.
Sakura Cabinet.
Since the thirty elite divisions were stationed on the west side of the island, the million-strong army has built countless artillery positions, as well as trenches and air-raid shelters.
The situation instantly reversed, and began to move in the direction they hoped for, and all the way smoothly.
"Yoshi, Prime Minister, our plan worked!" Army Minister Korechika Anami said excitedly.
Tojo Umedo nodded in satisfaction, a sigh of relief washing over him. "Yes, let's continue according to plan. Even if we pull him out little by little, Lin Feng will be finished in a few days!"
"Yes, the island's garrison has suffered heavy losses. We use heavy artillery to eliminate them at specific points every day, and then we use bombers for carpet bombing. In just a few days, they will be completely wiped out!" Anami Korechika sneered.
"Heh, I'd like to see how long he can hold out!"
Tojo Umetoku snorted coldly, then asked, "How's the Combined Fleet doing?"
Navy Minister Mineo Osumi spoke up, saying, "Yamamoto-kun has sent word that the situation is not good. The Democratic Alliance has deployed at least two thousand U-boats near our main island."
"The Combined Fleet is currently stuck at several bases along the southeast coast, making it difficult to even leave port. Yamamoto is at a loss for what to do."
"fine."
Tojo Umeto waved his hand, indicating that Osumi Mineo should not worry: "It was expected that the Combined Fleet would be surrounded. After all, the Democratic Alliance submarines are more advanced and more numerous than ours, and they are stronger than us in terms of both quality and tonnage."
"But as long as we take Awaji Island and capture Lin Feng alive, all the problems will be solved."
Tojo Umetoku is right. Once Awaji Island is captured, it will be equivalent to seizing Lin Feng, a bombshell, and the National League for Democracy's submarine fleet will be no match for him.
The thought of the National League surrendering filled Tojo Umedo with excitement. "It won't be long before we can take back Indochina. Lin Feng, you've worked so hard, only to end up benefiting the Empire. You're so foolish."
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, an urgent telegram has arrived from the Kwantung Army of Korea!!!"
Just as Tojo Ume was envisioning a bright future, Minister of State Sakon Seizo rushed into the office, looking very unwell.
Tojo Umedo frowned slightly: "What is it?"
"Your Excellency Prime Minister... The Kwantung Army has sent an urgent military report: last night, an unidentified fleet passed through Jeju Island, numbering... several thousand ships!"
? ? ? ? ?
Everyone was dumbfounded!
Several thousand ships?
You're aiming at thousands of ships?
Or is it an unidentified fleet?
In this world, perhaps only the Democratic League of China (DL) can casually produce thousands of warships! ???
Are you sure it's several thousand ships? Not just a few hundred?
Tojo Umeto grabbed State Minister Sakonji Seizo by the collar and angrily questioned him.
“Well, I’m not sure either. The Kwantung Army headquarters said that after receiving the telegram, they lost contact with Jeju Island. Not only Jeju Island, but all the coastal islands have lost contact,” Sakonji Seizo said bitterly.
"Baka!!!"
Tojo Umedo cursed loudly, released Sakonji Seizo, and then pointed at his nose, yelling, "Useless! A bunch of useless people!! Quickly send out reconnaissance planes to find out what's going on! What on earth happened!"
"Yes, sir!" Sakonji immediately bowed and responded.
"Why were there no reports of thousands of warships appearing between the first and third island chains?!"
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, rest assured, this is absolutely fake news. Lin Feng must be trying to buy time by deliberately spreading false information. Think about it, if there really were that many warships, we would definitely have discovered them in the First Island Chain," Anami Korechika analyzed.
Upon hearing this, Tojo Ume took a deep breath to calm herself down.
Indeed, if there were several thousand warships, even if Lin Feng wanted to keep it a secret, the First Island Chain would definitely notice the anomaly.
Because it's too bizarre.
However, by the time they confirmed the news, it was too late.
………………………………
On the evening of July 3, 1942, a gentle sea breeze swept across the entire Sea of Japan.
At this moment, several thousand Mindos warships appeared in the waters outside Fukui Prefecture.
This is probably the largest fleet in the history of Earth, with 140 aircraft carriers, hundreds of battleships, thousands of cruisers and destroyers, and thousands of transport ships, filling the army of more than one million people from the National League for Democracy in North Vietnam and the National League for Democracy in Laos to capacity.
On the deck, Truong Xiao Vu, commander-in-chief of the National League for Democracy in North Vietnam, and Shen He, commander-in-chief of the National League for Democracy in Laos, stood side by side in front of the bridge railing, gazing at the magnificent fleet before them, their hearts filled with emotion.
"Commander, those little devils never expected that we would bypass their three island chains, go from the Philippines, then along Okinawa to the middle of Kyushu, and enter the Sea of Japan!" Shen He said excitedly, looking at the endless port cities ahead.
"yes."
Zhang Xiaowu nodded slightly. "That's the brilliance of the chairman. He drove the Japanese civilians to the east, indirectly causing Kyushu to become a no-man's land. Moreover, the Japanese were focused on Awaji Island and never expected such a large fleet to appear silently in the Sea of Japan."
"Hmm!" Shen He exclaimed in admiration, "The president is truly resourceful; to come up with something like this is simply ingenious!"
"I reckon that once this news gets out, those Japanese will definitely panic. After all, their forces are all west of Kyoto, while they only have a small number of garrison troops in the east, at most 300,000, which is not even enough to fill our teeth."
