Late at night, 61-year-old Hori Teiki, despite his old age and the high wind and waves on the North Pacific sea, insisted on taking a transportation boat to visit the pilots who were about to set off. Matsuda Chiaki, who accompanied him, advised him not to work so hard. If you have any explanation, just convey it through the captains of each ship and the pilot captain.

Hori Teiki shook his head: "Matsuda, if you only think that you are the chief and they are subordinates, you can do this. But many of these young people are only 20 years old, some of whom are even under 18 years old, and they are not a few years older than my grandchildren... I just took a few kilometers of traffic boats, but they had to drive a few hundred kilometers of planes to attack. Maybe they would never come back. If you send your descendants to war, would you still feel it was hard?"

The staff members who were very confused behind him immediately remained silent.

Chiaki Matsuda sighed: "The chief loves soldiers as much as his son, I have received teachings!"

When Hori Teiki walked around and climbed onto the last aircraft carrier Kashita, all the pilots who were about to set out were waiting in line on the deck.

"The sir is here to visit us in person!"

"Wow" and the pilots stood straight.

"Thank you all!" Hori Teiki shook hands with the pilots and saluted them while distributing the white cloth strips with "Seven Lifes of Response to the Country" written on them, and even personally helped the youngest couple to marry each other, and everyone respectfully returned the salute.

Seeing the youngest pilot in the entire fleet, Sato Kinnobu, who was 18 years old and 2 months away, looking at his tense and serious look, Hori Teiki patted his shoulder: "Sato, isn't he a little nervous about carrying out the night attack mission?"

"Report to the sir, don't be nervous! I was the first in Ye Fei in school, and the instructors praised me for having cat eyes! Besides, Chief Suzuki took us, and he said that it would be fine if he just followed him closely. He came to fight Pearl Harbor once and had experience!"

Hori Teiki smiled and said, "I really envy you. I have the leaders who are familiar with the situation. It's the first time I've been here, but no leader is willing to take me..."

Everyone was stunned and then laughed.

The captain of the fleet support fleet, Shingo Hsinsune Nakasa, said: "We have set up a platform. Can you ask the chief to take a photo with us?"

"Okay!" Hori Teiyoshi strided over and found her seat. Dozens of pilots immediately went up and lined up. The photographer's spotlight flashed. Hori Teiyoshi, Matsuda Chiaki and all the pilots took a photo together.

"Before leaving, we dedicated our favorite songs to the superiors, thank you for making movies for us, and even more thank you for seeing us off!"

Under the command of Yingcheng, nearly 90 pilots who were about to attack (ship attack, each plane had 2 people) sang the loud "Song of Ruoji" together:

“Young passionate preparatory practice, seven button cherry blossoms and anchors;

Today's flying is accompanied by colorful clouds, and dreams and hopes soar into the sky;

Ignite the vitality and preparatory practice, the wrist is the anchor core flame;

Cheng Yi went out to cross the mad ocean, and fought hard in front of the enemy;

I admire my predecessors for preparatory training and have heard of my passion for military achievements;

The belief in winning is to practice attacks, and the soul of Yamato is originally invincible;

He spared no effort to practice preparatory training, the Wings of Victory Will Wings;

The battle to sink the enemy ships is heroic, and I want to send my mother a photo!"

(Note: There is also a more literary and artistic translation. If you are interested, you can use Baidu to yourself; in addition, you complain about domestic anti-Japanese war dramas, criticize "My Corps Commander My Corps". If you don't understand Japanese military songs, don't play competition songs, and put all the Navy songs on the Army Red Deer, which made me look embarrassed)

In order to expand pilot recruitment, the Japanese Navy expanded the recruitment of Fly B (basic class), Fly C (crash class), Fly C (basic class), Fly C (basic class), Fly C (basic class), Fly C (basic class), Fly C (basic class), Fly C (basic class), and Fly C (basic class), because of outstanding performance, directly changed from Fly C (basic class). In order to encourage more young people to apply for the exam, Toho Company accepted the military commission and filmed "Space Decisive Battle" in 1943 as a promotional film for naval pilot recruitment. The content reflects the scenes of the Pacific naval battle.

The sample was taken before Hori Teki returned from Europe. He just wanted to add a few more scenes of the United Fleet's Western Expedition. However, after watching it, Hori Teki thought the shooting was not deep enough, and the scene was particularly bad, and he did not take a huge momentum. Then the US military plane was either a blurry shot of a flash of shot by a military reporter, or a plane pretended to be an army or a German plane. He thought it was too fake and asked for a reshoot to be completed within 3 months, and promised to give full support.

The United Fleet won a large number of US aircraft in the western expedition, not only f4ff6fsbdtbf, but also b-17c-54, etc., in the face of the statement of full support of Hori Teki, the scene of the re-shoot was grand and much more real. Hori Teki also came forward to invite some German pilots to play the role of Americans, and selected a group of US prisoners of war to play other scenes. All aviation teams and aviation schools cooperated with each other. The top flight of the United Fleet, including the sweeping trio, Akamatsu Sadaki, etc., performed their unique skills in the film. After "The Heaven Punishes the National Pirates", the powerful Hori Teki passed the reform bill to grant military ranks by the aviation student, and then the movie absorbed this part.

The final film cost 39 million yen, which is equivalent to the cost of a light cruiser. It uses all the main forces of the United Fleet, which is unique. However, it was very successful and is much better than the "Combined Fleet Commander" that is eager to work. In order to strengthen publicity, the remake of "Space Decisive Battle" not only introduced more star actors, but also modified the main storyline at the suggestion of Hori Teiki:

The film mainly tells the story of two young students who are poor and rich joining the navy as pilots. The poor are called Panasonic and the rich are called Takahashi. Takahashi and Panasonic have not been dealing with each other since childhood. Takahashi's family often bullies Panasonic, and Panasonic occasionally plays a prank to take revenge on Takahashi. The two applied for the Navy Preparatory Flight with different purposes: Takahashi is eager to be exciting, hope to become a hero, and become a fighter pilot; Panasonic is eager to make a name for himself, hoping to become an officer, and become an attack aircraft pilot.

The two were still disagreeing in the flight school. Not only did they show signs everywhere, but sparked sparks in subjects such as Kendo, Judo, and Sports. The flight team even made trouble with each other in order to compete for credit and promotion opportunities. Even though their joint commanders and seniors repeatedly taught them to unite, they were still in a disagreement. However, during an attack, the commanders were the first to crash to cover the crowd to escape. The Panasonic plane was injured after completing the attack and prepared to return to the team with difficulty, but they were chased by US fighters and used up ammunition.

Takahashi could choose to return alone, but in the end he chose to die with the US plane to cover Panasonic's retreat. After returning, Panasonic received the medal and became an officer, but Takahashi could not even find his body, only suicide note and some relics. In the cemetery, Panasonic placed his medal and military rank epaulette in front of Takahashi's tombstone, and returned to the team without hesitation on a new journey. After becoming an officer, facing the newly added preparatory students to the flight team, he taught them to "unity!" on the first day...

There are actually many things that make the filmmaker embarrassed:

First, he drastically cut down on the scene of "serving the Emperor", and except for a few links, most of them were skipped and ignored;

Secondly, it is required to show that the US military pilots are very brave and not afraid of death, but the strong liberal style is not united enough, but this is contrary to Japan's consistent propaganda that the US military is afraid of death;

Third, the film clearly shows the strong industrial strength of the US military. When the US fleet appears, it always follows the huge supply ships and transport ships. The soldiers never have to walk. They are all jeeps or trucks, and can also eat ice cream (in fact, the US prisoners ate the ice cream from the Yamato Hotel). When the Japanese fleet appears, there are few warships, and it is difficult to supply. The soldiers, including pilots, rely on their two legs. Not to mention ice cream during wartime, even gasoline cannot be guaranteed. This is a metaphor for Japan's small country and weak power and cannot persist for a long time, which is contrary to Japan's consistent idea of ​​promoting its country's final victory;

Fourth, when the commander arranged the mission, he repeatedly asked the pilot to pay attention to safety and returned as safely as possible. This also conflicted with Japan's usual promotion of serving the country with decisive death.

Even though there are so many embarrassing things that seem to be in the press and film industry, no one dares to say that Hori Teiki nodded and let him go. So the film was released nationwide, not only released, but also required to go to every middle school and university to broadcast for free. "Song of Wakashiwa" (whose lyrics written by Nijo Eighty, and he also created "Sakura of the Contemporary Period") not only became the most widely sung among young students, but also became the resonance of all HNA preparatory students such as Obi, Cy, and Te Cy.

Since the Army Airlines has no promo videos that can be shown, and the Army's preparatory students do not have the chance to be officers (the Army still selects officers from non-commissioned schools, not because the Army does not want to change it, but because if the Army can become an officer, then the armored soldiers, artillery, cavalry, engineer and other junior colleges are qualified to become officers. In addition, the recruitment of the Army's soldiers is much more than that of the Navy School, so the army's rank system will not change), so the first choice for young students who want to be pilots is HNA.

After the broadcast of "Space Battle", the number of applicants who volunteered to join HNA was as high as 270,000, with the age span from 14 to 20. Finally, the young applicants were eliminated. With the threshold of 16 years old, nearly 12,000 of them were absorbed at a 10:1 ratio. A graduate of Special C Flying under the age of 18 was not allowed to join the first-line flight team, let alone the carrier-based aircraft flight team, but because he is talented, not only Ye Fei performed particularly well, but other carrier-based capabilities were also mastered at extremely fast speed. Except for the age limit, the others met the standards, so he was listed on the front line. After seeing the roster before departure, Hori Teiki only sighed, but said nothing.

After listening to them singing, Chiaki Matsuda found that Hori Teiki's eyes were covered with tears. He walked to the pilot queue and bowed deeply, "You guys, the journey is smooth!"

"Sir, take care of yourself!"

At 3:30 in the morning, all attack groups had taken off. Xinxiang Yingcheng, who led the team, issued an order through the radio: "Fly around the flagship and say the final goodbye to the commander!"

Under the night, Hori Teiki took all the officers of the headquarters to stand attentively on the deck and watched the group leave... Everyone, including the pilots, knew that Hori Teiki gave the first attack wave the "decisive attack" order to complete the mission even if he died!

He usually doesn't give up such orders, but this time he has to give up for Pearl Harbor...

ps: It's mid-month, please ask for some monthly tickets...
Chapter completed!
