In addition to infantry weapons, the domestic chariot equipment, which was originally regarded as treasure, was dumped all the time. The Japanese Army, which used the T-344 Sherman tank, now looked down on the 89, 95, and 97 (bean chariots) in their hands, except for the best-in-class vehicles, the rest were sold out completely. Even the medium-sized tanks that had just been successfully developed and were complacent and wanted to put into production (Qihei, 17.2 tons) were stopped after the performance comparison of the field. In Ishihara Kanir's words, "What are you doing to produce this kind of garbage?"

Ishihara Kanir's attitude also affected the development of subsequent Type 3 (Cinu) and Type 4 (Chito) tanks: the former was less than 20 tons, and its performance did not improve significantly, and the research and development was directly terminated; the latter's tonnage exceeded that of the German No. 4 tank, and its design concept began to approach, but its strength was still one level lower than that of the No. 4 tank. After obtaining the physical objects and drawings of the T-34, he asked Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to modify the design and use the T-34 to achieve the Type 4 tank benchmark. So by the end of 1943, the Japanese Army had a very strange phenomenon. Although its chariot division (brigades were also converted into divisions) had more than 6, it was all a hodgepodge of British, French, Soviet, German, and American tanks. There were almost no Japanese-made tanks, and it was also a unique weirdo among the main participating countries.

This is just a minor improvement. Ishihara Kanir's most important contribution is to solve the problem of land-sea coordination in theory.

The Japanese army and navy have always cursed each other, and occasionally the officers have come to the full martial arts several times. Of course, there are the historical contradictions that have accumulated many years of grievances, and the actual contradictions of competing for resources. However, after Ishihara and Tada Jun came to power, this voice was gradually suppressed. At first, it was just a general internal communication suppression, and the real change lies in Ishihara's strategy adjustment. He asked thought-provoking questions at the internal meeting of the General Staff Headquarters: "European and American powers have army and navy, and of course they also quarrel, but they are not as quarrel as we do. Why and how can this be changed?"

Most senior army generals, especially when they are in the middle of the country, are also people who have been abroad and have opened their horizons. After discussing and finally calmly, they believed that it was ultimately a struggle for interests: one is a struggle for power control; the other is a struggle for resource allocation, and the essence of fighting for power control is to gain the upper hand in resource allocation.

Therefore, Ishihara concluded that as long as the imbalance in the allocation of resources between each other can be improved, land-sea cooperation is possible. This unbalanced change cannot be achieved by reducing the existing stock of the navy or army to the other party, and must be achieved by making large increments. He cited a very convincing example: "Oil is the lifeblood of modern warfare. The German army and navy racked their brains to compete for oil. No matter how the head of state allocates, it will not be possible to satisfy everyone. But now the problem is solved better. Germany first strengthens the navy and air force to gain regional advantages, and then introduces the Imperial Navy with other interests. Finally, it takes the Middle East in one fell swoop and gains the Lunar New Year.

The oil coming here is one. Secondly, after controlling the Indian Ocean, the trade channel between Germany and the Far East was opened. The supply of materials and resources that were originally very tight were suddenly greatly enriched. Originally, Germany used oil to synthesize rubber, which was high in cost and low in quality. Now, it uses equipment to import natural rubber from Southeast Asia, which is low in cost and better in quality, and saves this part of oil. Everyone is very satisfied... How can the increment come about? Only by relying on land-sea cooperation to win battles! The army should look at it a little longer. We have the large territory of India, and the trade line of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, and the development space will be very broad!"

Therefore, when the joint fleet was advancing in the Indian Ocean, the base camp asked the army to support the island guarding the South China Ocean, and the troops were broken one after another. Many people protested and dissatisfied with this, but Ishihara Kanir gritted his teeth to withstand the pressure. When the joint fleet returned from a great victory, the situation immediately changed. The Navy admitted the army's sacrifice, not only handed over the equipment as agreed, but also secretly gave more lieutenant generals to give in private.

Over the past year, Japan purchased a large amount of equipment from Germany in the form of barter trade with various minerals such as gold, silver, mercury, rubber, tin, lead, tungsten, copper, etc., and introduced a lot of new technologies by using technology to exchange for technology. The incremental plate suddenly expanded a lot, and many things that I never dared to think about before were bought.

Similarly, due to the introduction of German **, the Army and Navy's internal equipment consumption has also been reduced. The Army is now happily equipping the land-based versions of B-219 and He-218. After the successful development of the Ar-352 (Caiyun Reform), the Army said it would also need some, and even planned to jointly develop a new generation of fighter jets. Due to the purple lightning reform, the Liefeng has been unable to be launched for a long time, and the Zero War Reform has become aging. The Navy, which is eager to upgrade, is attracted by the Army's four-type fighter jets, Qifeng, and believes that no matter whether it can be boarded a ship or not, it is good to use as a land-based fighter jet, and hopes to come first 500. This also makes the Army look shining on its face. It has always been a naval aircraft for the Army. Now, the Navy has begun to solemnly consider the Army's aircraft.

The heads and engineers of Mitsubishi and Nakajima aircraft manufacturing companies finally breathed a sigh of relief: there was no need to set up a workshop for the Army or another workshop for the Navy to produce similar things, and even the practice of making two screws for intentional differences was completely eradicated.

The adjustment and reforms set by Ishihara and Shimomura have improved the satisfaction of the chaebols: producing more general equipment in land and sea can save costs, increase production, and reduce waste, which greatly compensates for the dissatisfaction of Ishihara's forcibly shooting national-made combat vehicles. In the past, no medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns of the Army and Navy were not available. The United Fleet returned to Europe to equip thousands of European versions of Bofors anti-aircraft guns, which was very effective. After the exchanges between Ishihara and the Fleet decided to take a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, the Army bought the 37mm hand-pull machine that the German Navy didn't want because it was really cheap and in large quantities. On the other hand, the Navy found a way to get domestic manufacturers to authorize the production of 40mm Bofors, and bought 3,000 original goods before confirming the production of energy and distributed them to the Army 500 Navy.

The main purpose of the Army's 37mm hand-pull is not to air defense, but to install it on armored vehicles, and to act as firepower output on inland gunboats and take into account air defense. The effect is very good. In addition to anti-aircraft guns, sea and land have demands for 20mm aerial cannons, radars, and aviation engines. After a while, the Army and Navy happily sat together and purchased it together. If you buy more, you can at least get a discount. As before, the Navy introduced the same engine once, and the Army once again never made a joke.

In terms of combat ideas, the army and the navy became more consistent: the army was going north to obtain the mainland land, and the navy wanted to go south to obtain the island land. The two sides had been arguing endlessly for their respective dominance, and even continued to argue after they had already gone south. In the end, after Ishihara, Tada Jung, Yamamoto, Hori Teiki and others jointly discussed, they decided to concentrate their efforts to unify the mainland land, which is a land of use for India, the army, and the navy was the same. The four giants of the army and Navy cooperated and even built the authority of the base camp, completely undermining the nominal supreme leader, Prime Minister Ugaki.

Seeing that the cooperation between sea and land entered the ** and was about to bear fruit, the navy suddenly made such a stir. Ishihara Kanir was very annoyed and scolded the navy more than once. This is why King Minor Hirohiko Hiroki Higashi repeatedly came forward to say hello to Yamamoto Ioroku, asking him to find a way to stabilize the situation and not to destroy the hard-won great pattern. As for why he didn't go to find King Hiroki Fushimimiya, who was also a royal family, because he knew that the other party's actions were actually supported by the palace, and it was useless to say it.

The first thing that Horitiki angered Hirohito was the reform plan. It was to let the navy start a new business, offend too many vested interests, and make Hirohito unable to step down; the second thing was that it should never reach a tacit understanding and agreement with the Kanto Army. In the eyes of the Miyagi, it was simply unbearable that the joint fleet accounted for one-third of Japan's armed forces. The Kanto Army is the strongest force group of the Japanese Army, known as the flower of the Imperial Army. If the two were combined, could Hirohito still sleep? The third thing was that the Fleet General disobeyed the Military Order and needed to occasionally pinch the nose once or twice in combat. If the royal military order was slapped in the face every time, would the royal military order still be needed? But does this meaning dare to reveal it?

He also did not dare to find Horikichi, who was even more powerful than Ishihara Kanrgata Jung. Because the first two did not lead troops directly, Horikichi held the naval fleet known as the world's number one (now the ranking has been changed, Japan's first, the United States second, Germany third, and Britain were all squeezed to fifth by Italy). On the first day of his return, he launched an attack in public that King Fushimi Miyagi Hirokyo could not get out of the stage. He also dared to command the fleet to grab the Soviet fleet in a big way. He killed six destroyers on the other side in a disagreement, and even turned around and recorded a movie, making the Soviet ambassador mute and couldn't say that he was suffering.

To be honest, he was almost scared to death when he first received the news. If he had pushed forward for another 20 years, the still-green King Minorhiko Higakuramiya might have cheered and fought for the navy! Just do that! There is nothing to be afraid of in the Soviet Union! After 20 years, he has grown up and become more steady and has lost his courage. After Ishihara Kanr calmly analyzed, I realized that Hori Teiki had found a good opportunity. Such a person who is as smart as a net and as hard as an iron can not persuade him to move? Besides, there is a difference between sea and land. The Chief of Staff of the Army pointed out the naval affairs. In the mild case, it would cause dissatisfaction with the other party, and in the worst case, the relationship would be broken. Wouldn't it be that all his previous efforts were wasted?

So even though King Minorhito Higakuramiya knew the problem, he could only say a few words without any pain. He didn't even dare to go to Ishihara Kanir to discuss solutions. If he gave him a strategy of leaving the army and navy alone and abolishing the emperor, would he listen or not? It is possible that Ishihara's personality would do this. Isaka Ichizuka has been tortured to the point of being irritated now? Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Zang is as downright as his young wife in front of the base camp. He is also a member of the royal family, who is here to execute the imperial military orders, not to be a royal puppet.

Even if he saw some words and some questions, he could only hide them deeply in his heart. (To be continued...)
