Chapter 901 Final Fantasy

The plan called "The Final Battle Plan" by Hideki Tojo is officially code-named "Operation Jet-1" and was drawn up by Admiral Koga Minedai, Commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, and Vice Admiral Jisaburo Ozawa, Commander of the First Mobile Fleet. A big plan, and it has the full support of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the Minister of the Navy.

Unlike the German General Staff on the other side of the world, which gave up on fighting a decisive battle with the United States long ago, the Japanese have not given up their illusions of severely damaging the United States through several decisive naval battles to force it to sue for peace.

Not only do the army officers who know little about the situation in the United States believe that Japan still has the ability to win a decisive battle, but even Marshal Yamamoto Isoroku, who is famous for his knowledge of beauty, now also believes that the Japanese navy still has the strength to fight a decisive battle.

When the news that Germany agreed to provide 84 Me264 long-range bombers reached the ears of Yamamoto Isoroku, he was inspecting the newly commissioned battleship Shinano.

The Shinano battleship is the third ship of the Yamato-class battleship. It was once converted into an aircraft carrier in history. However, it was very unfortunate that it was sunk by an American submarine on its maiden voyage... It is basically a big joke.

In this time and space, because of the special steel provided by Germany, the battleship Yamato performed well in the Battle of the Hawaiian Islands. Therefore, the Shinano and the fourth Yamato-class ship Kii did not stop work, and they all worked day and night to build them. Now the Shinano has finally entered service, and the battleship Kii will begin sea trials in September and will be ready for service before the end of October.

In this way, the Japanese Navy will have four super battleships including Yamato, Musashi, Shinano, and Kii.

If a battleship battle were to take place in the Hawaiian Islands, Japan would have an absolute chance of winning!

In addition to the two Yamato-class battleships, the "Taiho" aircraft carrier, which the Japanese Navy has high hopes for, was launched in January 1943. It is currently being outfitted and is expected to be commissioned before the end of October 1943.

This large aircraft carrier with a standard displacement of 29,300 tons and a full load displacement of 34,200 tons is also a trump card in the hands of the Japanese Navy. It will also assume a major role in the "Jie-1 Operation" - this aircraft carrier is a so-called "unsinkable aircraft carrier" and has Strong armor protection can approach the U.S. fleet in wartime and provide a landing platform for fighter jets taking off from other aircraft carriers. In fact, the "shuttle bombing" mode is used to increase the combat radius of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft group, which can put the Japanese aircraft carrier in a very safe position during combat.

The idea of ​​designing and building the "Dafeng" aircraft carrier is actually to "protect the ship", which is completely contrary to the idea that the United States and Germany are now beginning to treat aircraft carriers as consumables.

In addition to the "Taiho", Japan's "Akagi" aircraft carrier and the "Kaga" aircraft carrier have been undergoing armor strengthening modifications at the Wujun Port Shipyard since May, laying armor similar to the "Taiho". The deck is equipped with flywheel catapults and 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns imported from Germany (replacing many battleships of the Japanese Combined Fleet with Bofors anti-aircraft guns is a huge project and cannot be done overnight. It can only be modified in stages. So far, Only a small number of ships have been refitted so far). According to the plan, "Akagi" and "Kaga" will also complete all modifications before the end of 2043.

By then, the Japanese Combined Fleet will have three "unsinkable aircraft carriers" that can perform tasks approaching the enemy fleet!

The number of "sinkable aircraft carriers" owned by Japan has now increased to 16, namely the "Shokaku", the "Zuikaku", the "Flying Eagle", the "Falcon Eagle", the "Otaka", "Kumotai", "Okitaka", "Condor", "Haiying", "Chitose", "Chiyoda", "Ryuho", "Shōho", "Ziho" , "Longxiang" and "Fengxiang".

"13 battleships, 19 aircraft carriers... With such a powerful fleet, the victory of the Jie-1 battle is certain."

Marshal Nagano Shushen, the Chief of Naval Command who inspected the Shinano with Marshal Isoroku Yamamoto, was also full of confidence in the "Operation Jie-1".

He said to Yamamoto: "After this battle, the empire should be able to achieve a decent peace... As long as we can retain the Hawaiian Islands, our empire will be able to compete with the United States and Germany in the future and rank among the top three powers in the world."

Yamamoto Isoroku nodded and said with a smile: "Now that the defense of the Hawaiian Islands has been completed, 300,000 brave men of the army and navy are ready. It depends on whether the army can use 84 long-range bombers to force out the US Pacific Fleet... As long as the Americans launch a massive counterattack on the Hawaiian Islands, not only will they be able to achieve an unprecedented victory, but they will also be able to kill a large number of U.S. landing troops, perhaps hundreds of thousands of them, and the United States will never dare to fight again!"

The core of "Operation Czech No. 1" is to kill and injure the US military! Not only must it cause a devastating blow to the U.S. Pacific Fleet, but it must also annihilate a large number of U.S. landing forces. According to Koga and Ozawa's vision, the U.S. military will be placed on the Hawaiian Islands and use the strong fortifications and powerful Japan there. Army, inflict heavy damage.

After the US troops landed on the mainland, the Japanese combined fleet suddenly counterattacked, severely damaging and even annihilating the main force of the US Pacific Fleet together with Japanese shore-based aircraft. In this way, the American landing force will be completely wiped out.

According to the estimates of those naval elites like Yamamoto Isoroku, Koga Mineichi, and Ozawa Jisaburo, Americans who live in wealth and prosperity must be afraid of death. If the Pacific Fleet was lost in World War I with hundreds of thousands of casualties, then the domestic situation in the United States would be There will inevitably be an anti-war wave, and the U.S. government will have to accept a humiliating peace!

…

"Comrades, the vast and rich Siberia is calling us, the new generation of Soviet youth, you will use your smart minds, hardworking hands and iron will to turn Siberia into the most beautiful GCist homeland in the world..."

Alexander Isayevich Solzhenitsyn is now sitting on a train to the distant Novosibirsk Oblast, and once again heard the sweet female voice that inspired the builders of Siberia - Comrade Solzhenitsyn is now a glorious Siberian builder, with a Novosibirsk household registration in his pocket!

Like all the young Soviet officers on this train, he accepted the call of the Bolshevik Party in Building 2 of Lubyanka Square and wrote an application to dedicate his life and descendants to the cause of GCism and the construction of Siberia. It was completely voluntary to take root in Siberia!

Well, Building 2 of Lubyanka Square is definitely a good place to do ideological work. Things that were impossible to explain elsewhere, under the gaze of the anti-counterrevolutionary personnel, people's ideological realm immediately improved there, and everyone cried and shouted that they wanted to go to Siberia to build.

Solzhenitsyn was no exception. He immediately developed his literary talent and wrote a touching application. I don't know if it was because the application was too good, but when he left Building 2 of Lubyanka Square, he also got a notice to go to Dzerzhinsky Technical College for short-term training, so he was two weeks later than others, and he also got a blue hat.

He is now also a glorious Cheka fighter, and he has been assigned to a unit that sounds very good, the Special Department of the Novosibirsk Branch of the Soviet Institute of Physics. Although the current situation of the Soviet Union is very bad, the special department of a scientific institute is always a more leisurely and comfortable place, even if this institute is far away in Siberia.

Just as Solzhenitsyn was sitting on the eastbound train with a relaxed mood, imagining his easy and comfortable life in the future. His future superior, Zavinia Kim, director of the Ninth Bureau of the People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs, and Kurchatov, director of the Novosibirsk branch of the Institute of Physics, were summoned by Beria, who was in charge of the Soviet nuclear bomb project, in Beria's office in Building 2 on Lubyanka Square.

The desk in front of Beria was piled with file bags with the word "top secret" on the cover, which contained top-secret intelligence about the Manhattan Project stolen from the United States by the Special Military Technical Reconnaissance Department controlled by Beria!

Due to the lack of a large number of Jewish scientists from Europe, the progress of the Manhattan Project in the United States was much slower than in history. However, in the summer of 1943, because some scientists who fled from Britain were absorbed and a lot of intelligence about the German U Project collected by the British intelligence department was obtained, the Manhattan Project in the United States made some progress.

Although the confidentiality level of the German U project is very high, the British intelligence department is not a pushover. They can still obtain many clues from the periphery of the U project, thereby inferring the progress of the German U project and the general direction of research and development. For example, the Germans obtained heavy water from Norway, purchased a large amount of uranium ore, and were trying to find a method for isotope separation of uranium, and suspected of building a large nuclear reactor, etc., which were all discovered by the British intelligence department.

Therefore, the Americans can now be sure that self-sustaining chain nuclear fission reactions are possible, and the Americans have also conducted two unsuccessful reactor tests, but they have accumulated experience and obtained valuable data.

In addition, American scientists Seaborg and Macmillan also discovered element 94 in an experiment to prepare transuranium elements, and confirmed that element 94 can also trigger nuclear fission reactions. Because they were busy with nuclear reactor experiments, Seaborg's discovery of plutonium was delayed by two years, while German scientists discovered element 94 plutonium as early as 1940.

The discovery and research of element 94, as well as the confirmation that Germany had made greater progress in nuclear fission research, made the Americans and Stalin feel quite urgent. Therefore, Stalin gave Beria an order in the summer of 1943: develop at all costs!
