Looking at the panic-in front of him, Koga Fengichi cleared his throat and began to continue saying: "Now I will explain the observations and countermeasures of the Joint Fleet Command on the current war situation."

Koga Fengichi's words were very light and his tone was very neutral, and he did not show any tendencies. However, for the staff members attending the meeting, every word that Chief Koga Shin-chan said was like a hammer hitting the conference room.

The air in the conference room was constantly knocked and shaking by the hammer, making people breathless and their mood was extremely depressed.

As everyone thought, Koga Fengyi said the first sentence: "The Japanese Navy's strength to the United States is already less than half."

The next sentence is: "The result of the aviation war has led to a large loss of the decisive force. Now, even if the decisive battle against the fleet we hope can be carried out, our chances of victory are significantly low, and it should be said that it is less than 30%.

Koga Fengichi is the fourth place in the 15th phase of Haida University. If the "saber group" of Haida is like Luda University, Koga Fengichi can also be considered as a saber group, but there are only two sirens in the saber group of Haida and the second seat.

Unlike Yamamoto Iroku, who was once a fleet squad, Koga, who served as military officers in the Navy twice, was a consistent treaty faction from beginning to end, and also opposed the war against the United States, which was expected in the navy.

Koga has been in the military order system for a long time and has served as a captain and fleet commander. He is not an amateur in combat, nor has he been labeled as a particularly eye-catching giant ship cannon faction.

On the contrary, because he had worked as a military construction supervisor and supervisor at the Shipbuilding Headquarters, he was familiar with warship construction and had a certain understanding of young officers who advocated the main force of aviation.

For example, at the end of 1937, when Japan decided to start building the battleship Yamato, the most radical aviation troop troop, Colonel Oshiki Takijiro Oshiki, deputy chief of the Yokosuka Air Force, rushed into the military headquarters to fight with the people.

He told the Deputy Chief of the Military Command, Koga Fengichi: "Building Yamato is a mistake of the era. The money for building a Yamato can build 3,000 aircraft. If you give me 3,000 aircraft, I can blow up all my fleets."

"Oshiki, I am not against the aviation force, but you have to know that the emperor must take a carriage led by eight horses when he goes on patrol, and the same is true for a country, and it must have battleships."

Facing the rampage of Takijiro Oshiki, Koga Feng did not scold him, but found a difficult time finding words to think of ways to convince him: "We must have what others have, too. This is called the face of the country and the face of the navy, do you know?"

Takijiro Oshiki was still struggling in despair: "Is that a few horses OK? We don't need eight horses, only four horses, and the carriage pulled by four horses is quite impressive."

"No, this is not something I, Koga, can decide."

This conversation is often quoted when commenting on the Yamato to illustrate the stupidity of building the Yamato and the enlightenedness of Koga Minichi.

Now, as one of the three giants of the Navy, the commander-in-chief of the Joint Fleet, publicly declared for the first time in fifty years after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 that there was no confidence in the ongoing war.

This is undoubtedly a very fatal blow to the naval staff attending the meeting.

However, this is not over yet. Koga Feng then changed his tone and said, "Although the chance of winning is very low, it is not completely missing.

If we can fight the Marshall Islands or the Solomon Islands that are strategically and geographically beneficial to me in the early days, even if it is a jade-breaking battle, we still have the chance to achieve the greatest success."

Although there is still a little parallax, in any case, this is the first time that the Imperial Japanese Navy Combined Fleet opens its eyes to see reality.

At that time, Koga Fengichi, who knew that the gap in strength was too big, was pessimistic inside, but as a Japanese navy general, he had to take on the burden of his belief that he did not have much chance of winning.

To some extent, Koga did take over a mess, but it was interesting that there were quite a few Japanese naval officers who didn't think it was a mess.

Therefore, when Koga Feng took office, he decided that he needed severe medicine to treat serious illnesses, so that everyone could "get rid of their fantasies and prepare for struggle". This new term "Yaosha Tactics" made the staff members present even more frightened.

After giving the initial instruction, Koga Fengichi led the flagship Musashi back to China. No matter what, the remains of the former chief had to be dealt with. It was not the same as working in the chief's office with a coffin in the chief's office. Koga decided to send Yamamoto Izuru back first.

At the same time, the main fleet of the Japanese Joint Fleet was also withdrawn from the Hawaiian Islands.

But the Americans' actions were faster than Koga expected, and they were completely different from the direction that Koga expected.

The Americans' actions this time were the Aleutian Islands, and the Americans were going to take back the occupied territory.

Just when Koga was still on the road, the Americans skipped the Kiska Island occupied by the Japanese and launched the first "frog jump attack" in the Pacific War on Atu Island, which was also occupied by the Japanese.

In June 1942, the Japanese army occupied Atu Island and Kisca Island in the western Aleutian Islands.

In order to strengthen the defense of the Aleutian Islands, the Japanese army reorganized and expanded the North Sea garrison, with the number of Japanese troops stationed in Atu Island increasing to 2,500 and Kisca Island increasing to 6,000.

After the Battle of Midway, in order to recover the Aleutian Islands, the US military first imposed a maritime blockade on it to cut off its ties with the Japanese mainland. Then, the commander of the Aleutian region, Rear Admiral Kincaid, was commanded to recapture the two islands.

According to reconnaissance, the Japanese army on Atu Island had weak defenses, so they decided to bypass Kiska Island and attack Atu Island first. At dawn on May 11, 1943, they launched an operation to recover Atu Island.

The battle continued until May 29. Without hope of relief, the last batch of Japanese troops carried out the largest suicide attack in the Pacific War.

After fierce, cruel and frequent hand-to-hand combat, the Japanese army was almost killed until the last one, more than 2,300 Japanese soldiers, including commander Colonel Yamazaki, were killed, and only 28 were still alive.

Koga Fengichi's "Jade Broken" combat speech was unfortunately fulfilled immediately: the Atu Island defenders were broken.

The casualties in the United States are about 550 deaths and 1,100 injuries, and 1,800 casualties caused by typhoid fever and disease.

In this battle, the US military used the offensive tactics to recapture the Aleutian Islands for the first time, eliminating Japan's threat to the North Pacific and Alaska, opening the prelude to a local counterattack, and establishing a forward base for siege and attacking Japan's mainland.

As for Kiska Island, the Japanese defenders persisted until the end of July. In the end, 5,183 Japanese defenders evacuated one after another under the cover of thick fog.

However, the US military did not notice the Japanese retreat and continued to siege, shell and bombard Kisca Island for half a month.

Until August 13, an invading force of more than 100 ships transported 34,000 American and Canadian troops from Kiska.

It was not until August 15 that the Allied forces landed on the island. It was not until 17 Americans died in the "friendly fire" incident in the fog that the US military gradually realized that there were no Japanese on the island.

After four or five months, everything about the Japanese Joint Fleet finally returned to normal.

The carrier-based aircraft group that had been lost before has been replenished, and the fleet has also added 3 regular aircraft carriers and 4 escort aircraft carriers, as well as dozens of ships of various types, including destroyers, submarines, and supply ships.

Retracting his thoughts, Koga Fengichi nodded and smiled at Sora Tanuchi with great confidence:

"Please rest assured that the Imperial Japanese Combined Fleet is still the extremely powerful naval fleet, which will surely cause the US Pacific Fleet to suffer devastating damage again. The Imperial Japanese Navy will definitely win!"

As the saying goes, "I forgot the pain when the scar is healed." Koga Fengichi, who felt stronger again, gradually got better, gradually gained confidence and confidence, and the urge to make achievements.
