Chapter 252 Big News
When it comes to Midway Island, Nan Yunzhong opened his mouth to speak.
The Battle of Midway is considered a stain that cannot be erased in his military career. However, due to information asymmetry, he has been unable to see the battle countless times in these days due to lack of key information. The whole picture.
He can die, but he doesn’t want to lose for reasons that are unclear.
Besides, from the Lieutenant General's point of view, so much time has passed, and the codebook base camp he has should have been replaced long ago. As long as it does not involve military secrets, Nagyun Zhongyi thinks that the other party will not get anything from him. .
But in fact, He Chi didn't need him to tell any secrets at all. As soon as Nan Yunzhong opened his mouth, everything would proceed according to his plan.
Not far from the hut where they were talking, a dozen captured Japanese soldiers were digging trenches under the supervision of Kojiro and others.
Pop! The whip fell on Captain Murata Mitsuchi's shoulder, leaving a trail of blood.
"Hurry up! Don't be lazy!" The guard on the side threatened fiercely in Japanese.
Captain Murata was lucky. When the wave of flying explosive packets attacked, he was on the outermost edge of the entire team, so he was only knocked unconscious.
After waking up, the captain was captured. As the highest-ranking survivor, the guy named Kojiro Iiguni offered very generous offers in an attempt to persuade him to surrender, but he was rejected.
Perhaps out of anger, or simply wanting to destroy their will, Captain Springfield and other soldiers who did not surrender were forced to do hard labor near the airport, and those who guarded them were the traitors to the empire.
Captain Murata did not give up. He kept observing the situation of the US military while working and tried to escape at any time.
But today he discovered something different. In the house opposite, two people with Asian faces were sitting across from each other. He didn’t know what they were talking about. One of them was either sitting or looking. His aura shows that he is Japanese, and his status is definitely not low.
The two people seemed to be discussing something when they spoke. The two parties seemed to communicate from time to time. The bald man actually bowed slightly.
An ominous premonition came to mind.
At this time, the two guards who were lazy on the side were muttering.
"Have you heard? That guy named Nagumo Chuichi surrendered."
"Tch, what about the Vice Admiral? Isn't it the same..."
Vice Admiral? ! surrender? !
Captain Murata's heart sank. As a graduated officer, he knew very well how serious a blow a lieutenant general would have to the empire if he surrendered to the US military.
No! Be sure to let the base camp know about this! The American conspiracy must not be allowed to succeed! Even if I lose my integrity and go through all sorts of hardships, I will still escape!
Captain Murata made his decision, then threw away the tools in his hands and shouted, "I surrender! I am willing to join the New Japan Founding Army!"
——
A few days Later, the Los Angeles Times in the United States reported a shocking news - Japanese Vice Admiral Nagumo Chuichi, who was captured during the Battle of Midway, publicly announced his separation from the Japanese militarist government through audio and video recordings.
At the same time, with the help of the American government, the New Japan Founding Army was established with the purpose of overthrowing the cancer of militarism and liberating the Japanese people.
Nagumo Nakaichi personally serves as the commander-in-chief, and a man named Iiguni Kojiro serves as the chief of general staff. It is currently planned to form a regiment with three infantry brigades and an engineering brigade. All soldiers are people with lofty ideals in the army and navy who take the initiative to fight against the enemy. Their goal is to rescue the people from the hands of the militaristic government.
As soon as the news came out, the world was in an uproar. At first, everyone thought it was an April Fool's Day joke.
However, the U.S. government soon came forward to endorse the matter, admitted the authenticity of the matter, and announced a series of statements
First, the New Japan National Founding Army was established with the help of the United States. It is an independent armed organization of Japanese anti-militarists and enjoys a high degree of autonomy.
Second, the New Japan National Founding Army welcomes Japanese compatriots from all over the world to join this great cause and will provide relevant benefits. The required funds will be advanced by its ally, the US government.
Third, any Japanese-American national who declares to join the New Japan Founding Army can immediately lift Executive Order No. 9066, escape residential surveillance and retrieve his or her private property.
Fourth, in the formation of the new Japanese government after the war, the New Japan Founding Army will become a decisive force.
Fifth, the New Japan Founding Army is currently fighting side by side with the US military in the South Pacific, and has even given out its specific location.
The United States took the lead, and other allies also began to express their positions. The United Kingdom and Free France immediately announced their recognition of the New Japan Founding Army and granted it the status of an ally. The Allied mainstream media reported it at the same time.
On the other hand, the Japanese government angrily accused the United States of creating false news. No Japanese lieutenant general was captured at Midway Island, and the so-called New Japan Founding Army was just a self-proclaimed product.
However, the Allies quickly produced evidence, not only producing a complete recording and video of Nagumo Chuichi's speech, but also releasing two sets of photos.
The first group is a photo of the establishment of the New Japan Founding Army. The C position is Lieutenant General Nagumo. He is standing in the middle of everyone wearing an officer uniform that is different from that of the Japanese Navy. His face is There is no sign of being forced at all.
The second group is a scene of the US military and its new ally, the New Japanese Founding Army, building trenches and fighting side by side on Guadalcanal.
Judging from these photos, even if there is not a single regiment of the New Japan National Founding Army, there are at least five to six hundred people (because Kojiro and the others are too small in number, many of them are Korean workers wearing Japanese military uniforms as guest appearances)
< br>This has confused the Japanese base camp. They knew that Nagumo Chuichi was captured. They could barely accept it if he surrendered or leaked some information, but your behavior of jumping out and confronting him is a bit exaggerated. Bar? Your family can be considered a martial arts family, and you have elderly brothers at home, so you don’t care?
In addition, where did these five or six hundred traitor armed forces come from? Could it be that so many soldiers really rebelled? !
The base camp immediately announced a thorough investigation into the matter, and the commander of the 17th Army, Hyakutake Haruyoshi, who was in charge of the ground forces in the entire Guadalcanal area, was severely reprimanded, and it is said that he was slapped by his superiors.
At this time, the newly landed troops of the Japanese army on Guadalcanal reported an important news. A captured mid-level officer escaped from the Americans. The first words he said when they met were "There are soldiers who have surrendered to the enemy, Nagumo." Lieutenant General Rebellion"
After two verifications, the Tokyo base camp exploded immediately. The military immediately placed those related to the Nagumo family under custody, and then the emperor quickly convened an emergency imperial meeting.
The next day, the Tokyo base camp announced the adjustment of the focus of the Guadalcanal battle. The core task was directly transferred from recapturing the US military airport to destroying this traitorous armed force, especially to punish the national traitor Nagumo Chuichi.
The Japanese Army, with Hyakutake Haruyoshi's 17th Army as the main body, squeezed out four detachments from various fronts, and assembled a force of 14,000 people to attack Guadalcanal in a mighty manner. It was inevitable Kill the "shame of the empire" in this area.
The second phase of the Guadalcanal Battle began, one that deviated from the historical trajectory but was even more intense.
