ps: It has been a busy situation recently. The moving has just been completed and the update has begun to return to normal. Please encourage me by monthly tickets...

If Hoffman was there, he would have lamented that due to the impact of the times and time-traveling power, Japan's shipbuilding plan had a greater appetite than in history. The plan was only 13 Yunlong and 5 Dafeng's plan. This was still planned to be completed by 1950. Now, whether it is Yamamoto Ioroku or Fushimi Miyamiya Hiroki, the aircraft carrier part alone exceeded the original idea, and it also accelerated the plan to be realized by the end of 1948, which was simply a night of improvement.

However, Japan has capital to do this: after withdrawing from the quagmire of the Chinese battlefield, the supply of materials immediately improved greatly. In addition, the manufacturing of the army mechas was completely stopped, and the supply of millions of tons of steel arrived. Japan actually became fat overnight. Germany also agreed to continue selling finished steel to Japan, with no less than 4 million tons per year, which accounts for half of Japan's production, and less than 3% of the steel production in Europe under Germany's control. As long as several countries such as Belgium, the Netherlands, France and other countries start industrial machines, it is enough to meet the needs of 2 million tons of ship tonnage. In addition, the Japanese Navy is like a young man who has made too much money and urgently needs to show its existence.

The war situation has developed to this extent. Even if it is a stubborn fleet faction, it is impossible for them to not recognize the core value and role of aircraft carriers, and they dare not stop the construction of aircraft carriers to build battleship fleet faction and are even more unlikely to be a surrender faction. Therefore, Furuofan's position is based on the needs of battleship troops with greater losses, and it is reasonable and well-founded. Since the Battle of the South Pacific, battleships, especially super battleships, have played a huge role.

Hori Teiki pondered for a moment, and did not rush to express his opinion, but asked other questions: "How is the current situation of the ship station?"

"The large ships and stations have fully started maintenance operations, including Musashi, Nagato, Shototsu, Kirishima, King Kong, and Beyan. In addition, the Yunlong-class construction, Dafeng and Shinno are already in service and do not occupy the ship platform. The Dafeng-class 2 ship will be started next month. It is expected that the Yunlong-class 9 ship will start construction in January next year, and two large ships will continue to occupy. The medium-sized ship is ready to be transformed into a lightweight and auxiliary aircraft carrier..." Inoue Naomi said, "The large ships and stations are expected to be more vacant after the repair and renovation project is completed in February next year. The medium-sized ships and stations are basically full. Of course, the necessary spare ships and stations can be repaired and maintained in an emergency."

Everyone turned their eyes to Hori Teki, waiting for him to express his opinion. Although Kusato Ren Yi had already said something, he was interrupted impatiently by Fumimi Miyaki Hirokyoko after saying a few words. However, Hori Teki was obviously not in a hurry to express his views, but asked the second question: "Does other ships have any disputes except for the main ship?"

Fushimi Miyaki Hirokami believed that he was completely pretending, and his views must have been communicated with Yamamoto long ago, and they were basically the same. The reason why it is not said to be completely a conspiracy now.

"There are also different opinions in the fields of heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers. There are also differences in opinions on the areas of labor ships, spy ships, special ships, etc., but they are relatively smaller." Inoue Narimi looked at Prince Fushimi Miyaki Hiroki, who looked increasingly ugly, and said with a smile, "Why don't you express your opinions on the construction of the main ship first? We can also make adjustments according to actual combat requirements."

Fushimi Miyaki Hirokyo almost couldn't help but get angry on the spot, but he was restrained: Inoue Naimi and Hori Teki's double act made him get goosebumps when they watched it.

Unexpectedly, Hori Teiki took a deep breath, and all of her words were shocked: "To be honest, I don't agree with both sides' opinions! If we continue to do this, we will have no other result except failure."

Everyone was as if they were knocked on a stick, and all their eyes were dumbfounded. Fushimi Miyaki Hakukyu was a little angry on the spot, and he was a little angry and embarrassed. Yamamoto Iroku looked at Hori Teki with a smile, a sense of indescribable smell. However, the status of the two of them was here, and it was impossible to come to blame Hori Teki himself, but their vanguard would not be able to hold back.

"Matsuda, please explain your opinion on my behalf."

Matsuda Chiaki, the current chief think tank of the Joint Fleet, immediately stood up and spoke: "The Joint Fleet believes that the construction of the main battleships in the Maruxin plan should be completely stopped, the construction of various types of battleships, the construction of the super-Armored Cruise, and the construction of aircraft carriers should be comprehensively concentrated; in addition to using the existing hull to transform light and auxiliary aircraft carriers, the main should be concentrated on the construction of Yunlong-class medium-sized fleet aircraft carriers. The commander hopes that 10 Yunlong-class can be started every year, which would be better if one can be launched every month. At the same time, he hopes to reduce the construction period to 18 months under the premise of ensuring quality. It is indeed still possible to start construction of a new Dafeng-class, but only one is enough. Please note that the Yunlong here has been strengthened by tonnage, structure, and military equipment, and is 10-15% higher than the existing warships."

Everyone whispered: It is understandable that Chief Hori Teiki doesn't want a battleship, why don't he even want the Dafeng class? This is the most solid and most difficult aircraft carrier to sink, and there is also a Yunlong class ship every month. This step seems to be taking too much. If you continue like this, will there be room for the fleet to send its existence in the future?

"The specific reasons are as follows: First of all, the number of battleship troops is expected to be 3 Yamato, 1 Nagato and 2 Kwango-class. It is basically enough for now and there is no need to build it."

Everyone immediately started to talk about it. At the beginning, there were more than ten battleships in the joint fleet, but they always said that they were not enough. Now there are only 6 ships, and one ship has not been officially completed. They actually said that they were enough. What is the logic?

"Quiet, quiet, please continue to talk." Inoue Narimi had to stand up again to maintain order.

Yamamoto Izuru was still silent, but Fumimi Miyagi Hiroki was sneering: Tell me, it depends on how you fulfill this statement.

"At present, the total tonnage of our battleships is about 300,000 tons. Let's calculate it in 300,000 tons. According to the Washington Navy Armistice Treaty 20 years ago, we believe that having about 70% of the tonnage of the US battleships can ensure safety. Therefore, if the tonnage of the US battleships is within 430,000 tons, we will be relatively safe. Until today, because the joint fleet is in operation, the actual battleships of the US military are about 3-4 Iowa-class, 2-3 South Dakota-class, 1 Colorado-class (West Virginia), and 2-3 old battleships. The specific data of the Iowa-class is unknown, and the tonnage is expected to not exceed 50,000 tons, and the South Dakota-class is less than 400,000 tons. Even if all are calculated based on the upper limit, it is less than 400,000 tons. It is in a very safe range.

Even if we consider the current George V-class battleship of the Royal Navy and the old Queen Elizabeth-class battleships, the total tonnage of British and American battleships is just over 500,000 tons. But don’t forget that the German and Italian allies in Europe currently have 4 Vineto-class battleships, Tirpitz, Richelieu, Schánhorst-class battleships and the old Italian battleships, with a total tonnage of more than 400,000 tons. Even if Britain and the United States continue to replenish 200,000-300,000 tons of battleships in the next 2-3 years, the overall number of both sides will be roughly the same, not to mention that the axial parties still have significant performance advantages.

Therefore, the chief believes that we insisted on the 70% theory of the United States at the beginning, but now Britain and the United States only have 70% of the total axis combat power. Even if it is great in 2-3 years, it will be a draw. Isn’t this a huge strategic advantage? Therefore, the chief believes that there is no need to waste energy and materials to build battleships."

Matsuda Chiaki is very eloquent, and with the long-known American news, the words he said are reasonable and well-founded, which convinced everyone. After careful calculation, everyone found that the facts were indeed true. The Joint Fleet and the Nanyang Island Defense Force used suicide weapons to kill many British and American battleships. Even after losing a batch of battleships, the total tonnage was not inferior, but on the contrary, it vaguely overwhelmed the British and American heads. This is really bold. I didn’t dare to think of such a wonderful result before the war, right?

Most officers were only immersed in the advantages of existing battleships, but Yamamoto Iroku, who was familiar with the high-level struggles within the navy, threw a meaningful glance at Fushimi Miyaki Hirokyo, who was about to stand up and go crazy.

Because Chiaki Matsuda's words meant that the battleship was actually to overturn the case of "Okao Personnel" 20 years ago, the public mentioned the 70% theory of the United States again in public, in his opinion, was simply blatantly slashing his face, and even more so Hori Teiki openly revenge.

During the negotiations on the Washington Arms Treaty 20 years ago, there was fierce debate within the Japanese Navy, and its positions were divided into fleet factions and treaty factions. The former insisted on 70% of the United States, while the latter believed that 60% of the United States was also OK and should compromise as much as possible to gain time. Fushimi Miyagi Hiroshi was the general backstage of the fleet faction, and he strongly demanded "70% of the United States", otherwise the negotiations would rather break down. This debate lasted for 10 years, and the two sides were still arguing endlessly until 1933.

Okaku Teng was the Minister of Navy at that time. He was originally a treaty faction, but later he fell to the fleet faction under pressure. But as the Minister of Navy, he was also extremely dissatisfied when facing the leader of the fleet faction. Deputy Chief of the Military Command, Lieutenant General Takahashi Miyoshi, asked to transfer some of the power of the Navy Ministry to the Military Command during the peacetime period. The negotiations between the Ministry of Navy and the Military Command rose from the initial confrontation at the chief level to the fierce debate between the Minister and the Minister of the Second Office, and finally extended to the debate between the Minister and the Minister of the Military Command, and finally evolved into a game between Okaku Teng and Fushimi Miyaki Haku Kyo. In the end, Fushimi Miyaki Haku Kyo used his royal identity and transcendent status to overwhelm Okaku Teng.

That's not all. In order to vent his anger, Hiroko Fushimi Miyagi completely defeated the treaty faction and demanded that all the generals who might hinder the future expansion route be exiled. Under pressure, Okakuto Tsenzo had to remove all the backbone of the treaty faction, including Taniguchi Navy Navy, Katsunori Yamanashi Navy, and the deputy naval officers and the director of the military affairs, Ken Terashima, Horikiki, and Lieutenant General of the Sousin of the Military, and Minister of Military Popularization, Lieutenant General Sakano Toshizo, the Minister of Military Popularization, were all removed from his post and transferred to the reserve service. Only Yamamoto Iroku, who was still major general at the time (it was promoted to lieutenant general after the Okakuto). (To be continued.)
