The Japanese can be said to be very sad. Because nothing like that had happened before, the ship did not arrive on time. They did not expect that they were sunk by the Chinese submarines. The Kanto Army just sent a telegram asking the Japanese headquarters what was going on. The Japanese headquarters' answer was normal, that was, there might have been a strong wind in that place, and the ship was a little late, just waiting.

If they could confirm it, it would definitely not be the result now. If the Kwantung Army dispatched a plane to search, they should also see a large number of explosions and residual lotus below. Unfortunately, they didn't think about that. For them, the sea belongs to them, and they would come whenever they wanted, otherwise they would not have escorted warships to the transport fleet.

Anyway, at this stage, the Japanese do whatever they do, that is, save. In fact, there is no way. They basically have no local resources, and everything needs to be purchased, especially oil. Now more than half of Japan's foreign exchange reserves are used to purchase oil and steel every year.

The ones supporting the prototype of the war are also oil and steel. Two destroyers are used to escort it. How much fuel will be burned after this round and round? Of course, they will feel distressed. Now the new warships no longer burn coal, but all of them are burning oil.

Originally, the Japanese thought that they had occupied the Northeast and there should be a lot of oil here. The drilling teams of their country also dug a lot of wells here, and they also thought that they could produce oil here and help the Japanese get rid of the energy crisis.

Unfortunately, after so much trouble, I spent a lot of money and came a lot of people. The final result was that there was no oil on this land, which was a regret left by Japanese experts.

Not far from where they drilled, there was a famous large oil field later. Many people said that if they could deviate from more than ten kilometers, they could drive out the oil. The result of World War II might have changed. It would not be the result now. With oil, the Japanese would not adopt their southward strategy. The most important reason why the Japanese occupied Southeast Asia was that they were attracted by the oil there. If they could get oil in the Northeast region, why bother to go there!

Moreover, the policy to the Soviet Union is definitely not like this. Since their country cannot develop southward, it will definitely develop northward. When dealing with the Soviet Union, it will definitely not send a division to test it.

Unfortunately, your Amaterasu master was so useless. He didn't bless you at that time and missed a giant oil field in vain.

Ten hours later, the officials in charge of receiving materials at the Kanto Army were finally a little anxious. Even for some reason, it would be impossible to delay ten hours. When they reported their location, they were only less than 200 nautical miles away from the Kanto Army's port, so why haven't they come here yet!

The Japanese local side has no other idea. It is probably because there is something wrong with the route. They are lost on the sea. Or what happened? Even if they want to break their heads, they would never have thought that the merchant ship was killed by a submarine, and it was a submarine of the Chinese.

It can be said that this is the price for the Japanese to underestimate the Chinese. If you could have conducted a full-scale investigation of the Chinese, there would not be the current situation. Of course, the Japanese's investigation technology is absolutely possible. They have also taken a long time to investigate the Chinese. However, since the security team appeared, their investigation has not been carried out. On the one hand, it is because the people investigating the security team have not come out after they entered. Even the Imperial Agent Flower has been planted. What is the use of others going in? On the other hand, they also have absolute confidence in their previous reconnaissance information, believing that even if China changes, it cannot change too much.

When the fifteenth hour after the incident, photos sent back by a reconnaissance aircraft of Kanto Army showed that the sea was covered with broken debris and a piece of oil. All signs indicate that a ship had been blown up here. Needless to ask, it must be the Japanese ship. According to calculations, this should be the Fuji ship that transported them weapons and equipment.

This photo was sent to the Kanto Army Headquarters as fast as possible, and to the Japanese Navy Headquarters. They were all puzzled by what happened in this photo. What was the reason? Did the Chinese people bombard the plane? But if they were dispatched, they should have time to report it!

Japan's Yokosu Hamama Marine Headquarters.

"Everyone, there is still half an hour left. The Supreme Meeting of our Navy is about to be held. Have you already guessed what happened in this photo? I will report it to General Navy Zhongyi later." The intelligence analysis department of the Navy headquarters has been studying this photo for about half an hour, and has everything he said. Anyway, there is no definite opinion. Now the Supreme Meeting is about to be held, and the person in charge finally interrupted their argument.

"Girl Colonel, I think this should be caused by torpedoes. If it is an aircraft bomb, they will definitely have time to send us a report before the aircraft hits them. Even if the bomb hits them, they will have enough time. Only when the torpedo hits them will there be no time, because the torpedo attacks below the horizontal plane. Once it is hit, the entire ship will explode violently. From these debris, it can be seen that the intensity of the explosion should be torpedoes." After the analysis of these people, it was finally confirmed that it was a torpedo attack.

"We also think that this is the case. Bombs and shells cannot cause such a violent explosion. Even if they detonate the weapons and ammunition on the ship, they are not allowed. Moreover, the army transportation list I have checked is mostly filled with artillery and not many shells." Some others also agreed with this opinion.

"Then I'll go to the meeting first. You will continue to study whether this torpedo was thrown by an aircraft or launched by a submarine?" The person in charge thought for a while and said, "This must be clear. If the Chinese have a submarine, then the transportation line will be unsafe in the future. If you want to transport things to the northeast, or transport the resources from the northeast to Japan, it will be even more difficult.

"Mr. Minister is really too careful. How could it be attacked by a submarine? If even the Chinese people had submarines, our aircraft carriers of the Great Japanese Empire would be spread all over the four oceans." After the Minister of Information went out, the people in the room immediately began to relax. In fact, it was the same in all yamen. As long as their boss went out, the rest would be working, and they would not be so reserved.

"Who said no, our ministers must list all possibilities when doing things, but they also have to have logical analysis. If these Chinese people can build submarines, will they still be invaded by us? With their territory and population plus their resources, our Great Japanese Empire should have been invaded, but now we are occupying their territory." Others said disapprovingly. In this way, the submarine attack was skipped by the Japanese intelligence department.

This is also a very normal logical analysis. If even China has a submarine, then the submarine will not be a secret weapon.

Japan's Navy Supreme Conference

It can be said that it is definitely the first time that a sunken supply ship held a supreme meeting in the Japanese Navy.

"I think everyone has seen this photo. I want to know what the intelligence department's analysis is going on. Is our current traffic line still safe?" said Navy Minister Yuichi Koga.

In fact, for the Japanese Navy, they are not concerned about whether the people from the Northeast Kanto Army should receive supplies. Their most concern is whether their tasks have been completed. The main task of the Japanese Navy is to protect the safety of the traffic line. Japan is an island country, and most of the things must be transported from outside. If the traffic line is unsafe, the entire country will be in a dilemma.

Therefore, the main purpose of holding this meeting is to keep the resources in the Northeast, and it will not be transported back to Japan in the future, rather than to support the Kwantung Army.

"Mr. Minister, after an analysis of the information department for a night, we can conclude that this is the result of torpedo attacks. It is just that whether the torpedo was launched on a submarine or on an aircraft. We don't know much about this. However, no matter where it is launched, it means that the Chinese have mastered a new technology." The Minister of Intelligence replied in a regular and moderate manner that the Navy does things differently from the Army. The Navy rarely exaggerates and pays attention to factual basis when doing anything, because the Navy is a rigorous department.

"Did you and your men have a brain problem? How could this happen? Our Imperial Navy only solved the problem of aircraft throwing torpedoes within a year. Have they started to learn this technology from the belly of their mother's womb? Even so, they don't have planes to load torpedoes!" Before the Minister of the Navy could speak, another lieutenant general said.

Others expressed their approval, which was absolutely impossible. The Chinese have an advanced air force. We know that torpedo attacks and bomb attacks are completely different.
