Chapter 207 Come on, it's fat here! (rd update!)
"Commander, the enemy ship has surrendered." At this moment, in the command room on the island of the aircraft carrier Hayabusa, an officer came to Chuichi Nagumo and reported excitedly.

This lossless record is indeed worth celebrating.

After all, after the Battle of Midway, the morale of the Imperial Japanese Navy dropped to freezing point.

Many naval officers looked desperate and even started to give up.

Four aircraft carriers and more than one hundred elite flight crews were lost.

They are all elite naval personnel, and this is indeed a big blow to their morale.

But they didn't expect that they could completely wipe out the British fleet.

The originally low morale swelled again.

Although it was the German submarines that did the work this time, without the Japanese destroyers to attract firepower, they would not have been able to achieve such a proud record.

"Well, send a telegram to the German submarines, congratulating them for sinking another battleship." Nagumo Chuichi couldn't suppress the smile on his face, but he still held back the smile and sent a telegram to Colonel Rutte first.

"Hi." The first mate responded immediately.

"What about these warships? And so many prisoners?" The first mate hesitated. After all, their mission was to attack the British fleet in the port of Alexandria.

As a result, now that so many warships have been captured, they must be dealt with.

You can't take them all with you, right?
"What do you think?" Nanyun Chuichi didn't know how to solve the problem. Would he turn around and send him to a prisoner-of-war camp again?
Wouldn't that mean the sneak attack plan would be shelved again?

Are we going to shelve the sneak attack plan just for these few warships?

Nanyun Chuichi is not a fool.

"Commander, how about we gather all these prisoners on one warship? Then..." The first mate made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Hearing this, Nanyun Chuichi shook his head.

"No, they have surrendered, according to..." Originally, Nagumo Chuichi wanted to say something about the Geneva Convention, but he found out that they had not even joined it. In other words, this thing was useless to them.

"How about this, first gather the prisoners onto the transport ship, and then use torpedoes to sink them all to the bottom of the sea." After weighing the pros and cons, Chuichi Nagumo decided to send these people on their way.

As for the warships, they were captured by the Japanese army.

The Japanese army originally lacked warships, and with these warships, at least they would have more confidence in the next battle.

As for how to distribute it, we will have to wait until the war is over.

Soon, all the sailors on the British warships were transferred to transport ships.

The battleships were taken over by Japanese sailors. The Japanese Navy originally came from the British Royal Navy, so they were very familiar with Japanese battleships.

Before long, the remaining four warships were able to sail with the Japanese fleet.

The two transport ships were sunk by torpedoes, and tens of thousands of British soldiers were buried deep in the sea.

This time we have really stirred up a hornet's nest.

Especially Montgomery in Alexandria, after not contacting Lieutenant General Whippet for a long time, he immediately judged that something must have happened.

Sure enough, a telegram indicated that the task force led by Wipper had been attacked.

Among them, the battleship Warrior was attacked by a German submarine and sank to the bottom of the sea.

Lieutenant General Wipper was also buried with him.

Seeing the situation was not good, the other warships chose to surrender.

This was a telegram sent by the captain of a destroyer before surrender.

"Encountered Japanese battleships? The Warrior was sunk? The rest of the battleships were destroyed?" After hearing this, Montgomery's eyes widened red and he was in a state of rage, ready to go berserk at any time.

"These damn yellow monkeys, barbarians..."

He cursed almost with gritted teeth, and Patton next to him was also confused.

He was very dissatisfied with Montgomery's private mobilization of an elite division, after all, the Battle of El Alamein was about to take place.

He was also transferred to North Africa not long ago and is currently responsible for the training of the US Western Front Task Force for landing in North Africa.

When he arrived at the port of Alexandria, his mission, apart from inspecting the landing site, was to observe the battlefield.

Because according to the plan, the British army was about to launch the Battle of El Alamein, so in order to examine the true combat effectiveness of the German army, he specially chose Alexandria for the training work.

As a result, as soon as he arrived, Montgomery transferred an elite division.

This made him somewhat dissatisfied, because the German army was very strong, and if an elite division was transferred away at this time, what would the British army use to deal with the German army?

As a result, Montgomery expressed confidence that the British army would definitely win.

As for why he was confident, he didn't know.

But now, this elite infantry division became a prisoner.

Not only that, a battleship was also sunk.

This wave of losses is really too great.

Of course, General Patton also understood the other party. India was too important to the British Empire.

Without India, the British army would probably not be able to hold on.

By that time, I'm afraid it will have completely declined.

"This shouldn't be possible. How could there be Japanese warships here?" After reading the telegram, Patton kept drawing lines on the map, and finally came to the conclusion that there would definitely be no Japanese warships here.

"According to intelligence, the main battleships of the Japanese army are all concentrated in the Guadalcanal area and are recovering. They cannot spare more battleships to patrol here. Moreover, according to the content of the telegram, the enemy's battleships obviously outnumber ours. This is obviously a premeditated ambush."

After listening to General Patton's analysis, Montgomery's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt.

Then he looked at Patton again and asked with a slight frown.

"You mean, the information was leaked?"

"It's impossible for it to be leaked. This mission is top secret. Normally, no more than five people know about this news. It's absolutely impossible for it to be used in an evil way."

Montgomery did not believe that the intelligence would be leaked.

Because that would be too scary.

Did Admiral Wavell betray the British Empire?

No, absolutely impossible.

As for Stilwell?
He really doesn’t know!

Because he was concentrating on whether he could take over Southeast Asia as soon as possible and didn't think about these things at all.

Besides, his relationship with Admiral Wavell was not very good.

"Since it wasn't leaked, there's no way to explain why we were ambushed just when we got here?" General Patton spread his hands, indicating that if it wasn't leaked, then it was just a coincidence.

But is it really such a coincidence?
Who would believe it?

At least General Patton didn't believe it.

Apparently, Montgomery didn't believe it either.

After all, there is no such coincidence in the world.

Unless the Japanese fleet is preparing to attack Alexandria.

In that case, the two sides may meet.

After all, the routes are fixed and the chance of encountering them is very high.

But what if the Japanese fleet came to attack Alexandria?

Isn't that crazy?

Do not!
He must be crazy!

As soon as this idea came to his mind, he immediately discarded it.

What a joke.

Does the Japanese fleet dare to come to Alexandria?
So after eliminating all the impossible, the only possibility left is the truth.

"Damn it, there are spies among us? Was they sent by the Germans? Yes, it must be, otherwise it can't explain why there are German submarines." Montgomery roared angrily.

"Don't let me catch him, or I'll hang him." All countries have the same approach to spies: hanging.

At this moment, Montgomery was very sad. An elite infantry division of more than 10,000 people was just gone?
In order to support India, he mobilized his most elite infantry division.

The results of it?
That's it.

He wanted to curse Wavell to death. He could have landed from the west and then transported the troops by rail, but he insisted on landing from the east. What happened next?

An elite infantry division was gone.

Plus a battleship was sunk.

The key point is that the entire task force was destroyed.

The thought of this made Montgomery furious and he sent a telegram.

His tone was very stern, which meant that he had to figure out a solution on his own and he would not send any more soldiers to support him.

Because next, he had to prepare for the Battle of El Alamein.

According to intelligence, the German troops on the opposite side are currently replenishing supplies, and it is obvious that the German troops are about to launch a new round of offensive.

In order to inflict heavy damage on the German army at El Alamein, he could no longer deploy his elite troops.

Admiral Wavell was also dumbfounded when he received the telegram. The reinforcements he had been waiting for were gone.

Even the escort fleet was gone.

More importantly, Vice Admiral Whippet was also gone, having been sunk along with the battleship Warrior.

This is simply outrageous!

If the telegram had not been sent by Montgomery, he would have suspected it was fake.

"How is this possible?" For a moment, Admiral Wavell seemed much older. Everything he did was to save India and preserve the last bit of vitality of the British Empire.

As a result, now we tell him that the reinforcements are gone.

That means the situation in India will become even worse.

The British Empire would be completely destroyed.

Do we really have to surrender?
Do not!
Knowing the prime minister in Downing Street, he would rather die in battle than surrender.

But now that there is no reinforcement, what should Tianzhu do?
The Japanese troops on the eastern front were attacking everywhere, especially under the guise of rescuing these indigenous peoples, their strength was expanding very quickly.

More and more indigenous people are joining them, and I heard that there are now more than 100,000 people.

And it’s still increasing.

My scalp tingles when I think of this number.

"What should we do?" Admiral Wavell looked around and found that he could only ask Stilwell for a solution to the crisis in India.

…………

On the other side, Kawabe Masazo has been having a very happy time recently. Since he reunited with Mutaguchi Ren'ya, he has been living a very carefree life.

60,000 elite Japanese troops, together with 20,000 vassal troops and more than 50,000 indigenous troops, are already a very powerful force.

Not to mention, they occupied a large territory during this period.

It can be said that the territory they currently occupy is almost larger than their native territory.

Ambition is also constantly expanding.

Hebian Zhengsan, who had been troubled by the Sichuan Army before, was now humming a song and writing a telegram himself.

That’s right, this is the voice of all officers and soldiers, expressed in the name of the commander of the 15th Army.

Ask the base camp to give them soldiers.

There are countless resources and wealth here.

There is absolutely no need to stay in a miserable place.

He even proposed to transfer 100,000 elite troops from the Chinese battlefield to India.

With these 100,000 elite troops, he is confident that he can take over the entire Tianzhu.

Then they can immigrate and escape the fate of being an island country.

The more he wrote, the more excited Kawabe Masamitsu became.

He wrote a thousand words in a very eloquent manner, and in the end he asked all officers above the rank of general to sign.

The main reason was Hebian Zhengsan's words about splitting the land and becoming king, which made everyone swell up.

They yearn for Chinese culture, but they know the meaning of dividing the land and becoming a king.

Not long after, this telegram reached the hands of Heitaro Kimura at the headquarters.

He looked at the telegram in his hand again and again, and at one point he wondered whether Kawabe Masazo was crazy.

Draw elite troops from China?
How many elite troops does China have now?

It seems there is still some!
But there are not many left!

If they continue to do so, they will really be a group of new recruits and a group of puppet soldiers.

By then, it may not be possible to maintain the situation on the Chinese battlefield.

But Kawabe Masamitsu's telegram was very detailed, and the natives of India were extremely respectful.

There is simply not much desire to rebel, and there are abundant resources and money here.

There is no need for them to continue wasting their time on the Chinese battlefield.

The little resources we got could not sustain consumption.

I have to say, it makes a lot of sense.

At least Heitaro Kimura also believed that the Chinese battlefield did consume a lot of their manpower.

If this part of the manpower could be withdrawn and transferred to other battlefields, it might indeed be better.

But to accomplish this mission, we need the cooperation of the navy.

I just mocked the navy not long ago, and now I am begging them to transport troops?

Will you agree?

If they can provide oil and steel, maybe the navy will cooperate with them.

But if they can come up with these, why doesn't the army build its own warships?

It’s not like we can’t build an army, right?
For a moment, Kimura Heitaro thought a lot.

"Let me report to the Prime Minister first." In the end, Heitaro Kimura decided to report first.

……

At the same time, Stilwell, who was preparing to lead the New First Army south, received a call from Admiral Wavell.

To be honest, when Stilwell heard that the call was from Admiral Wavell, his first reaction was not to answer it.

But the other party called several times and I could only answer the call reluctantly.

"General Stilwell, the British Empire needs your help."

As a result, the first sentence confused Stilwell.

What do you mean?
What happened again?
When Stilwell finished listening to Admiral Wavell's words, his head was buzzing and he could only hear the sound of his breathing.

"What did you say? The task force you sent out was completely wiped out by the Japanese? And the battleship Warrior was also sunk?"

"A German submarine did it?"

A series of news made Stilwell feel that his brain was not enough.

This news is really exciting.

So much so that his brain suddenly shut down.

What is this all about?
"Yes, General Stilwell, you are the only one who can save India now. I hope you can send troops to help the British Empire." Admiral Wavell said in an almost pleading tone.

This is the first time!
At least Stilwell sounded pretty good about it.

But I'm still confused.

Why were there Japanese and German warships there?

And why did they know that the British task force would appear there?
What is the conspiracy here?

　I wish you all a happy Children's Day in advance! By the way, I'd like to ask for tomorrow's guaranteed monthly ticket. I've updated 470,000 words this month. I've worked very hard, but the price I paid for this is that I caught a cold twice in a month. My body is seriously overwhelmed, so now I can only update once less! By the way, I'll take Chinese medicine to recuperate! The update target for next month is no less than 400,000 words! By the way, I'll slowly pay back what I owe!
