Chapter 64: Departure from Japan (Part 2)
Those Japanese refugees on their respective cruise ships may have only a vague impression of this super immigration operation.
But on board the super passenger ship "Oasis of the Seas" with a displacement of 300,000 tons, which is the command center of this southbound immigration ship group, the travelers from another world are actually responsible for the armed colonization of the "light red" Japanese authorities. The grand scale is clear at a glance and can’t help but be astonishing.
That is to truly build the Oceania Management Board (ORB), the so-called "ORB", into another Japanese rhythm!
"...It's...it's amazing! A super large fleet of 20 million tons! Four million people sailed to Nanyang together! It is really a staggering and super generous! Not counting the previous ones, just this batch The number of Japanese immigrants is already greater than the total population of the country during the American Revolution! But Americans have been immigrating for 150 years since the 17th century! ?!
In our world, the Japanese during the heyday of the bubble economy once had a peaceful colonial plan to "rebuild Japan overseas". Unfortunately, they were slapped by the American boss and had to suppress it. But in the world here...does it seem to be coming true? ”
Standing in the center of the chart room on the Oasis of the Seas, which is comparable to an auditorium, looking at the chart table in front of it that is enough for dozens of strong men to spread out on the floor, there are densely packed ship models. Just now Political Commissar Guo who came to this time and space did not He took a deep breath and shook his head repeatedly, "... After this immigration operation, the racial ratio of the entire Oceania will change drastically. It is simply like... a modern version of Exodus?!" < br>
——According to the path drawn on the chart, thousands of ocean-going cruise ships full of Japanese immigrants are sailing from Osaka, Hiroshima, Kobe, Shimonoseki, Wakayama, Nagasaki, Sasebo, Fukuoka, Kagoshima, and even North Korea. Anchoring out of Busan and other ports The ships are expected to converge in the waters near Tanegashima and Yakushima to form an unprecedented super-large ship convoy, transporting four million immigrants to the "Oceania Management Council" in the southern hemisphere, or the "Obu" colony for resettlement. The entire Japanese naval combined fleet will be deployed almost in full force to protect the four million immigrants.
There are several shipping routes from the Japanese archipelago to the southwest Pacific, but currently there are not many routes available for Japan’s wartime base camp. Because of the successive surrenders of Taiwan and the Philippines, the path between the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea is no longer feasible. Even if the United States and Britain did not deploy a real main fleet there, the bombing of shore-based aviation and the sneak attack of small torpedo boats were enough to plunge the bloated and slow immigrant fleet into disaster.
Therefore, this time the immigration fleet had to stay away from the East Asian continent and take the ocean route. After leaving Tanegashima and Yakushima waters, it sailed straight south, passing through the Mariana Islands, Marshall Islands and New Guinea along the way. Finally arrived at the destination in Australia. The entire route is more than 10,000 kilometers, almost equivalent to the total length of the ancient Silk Road, and the volume of people and goods transported exceeds the sum of the Silk Road's thousand years!
In comparison, the seemingly arduous Exodus of the ancient Jews in the Bible is like walking in their own small courtyard.
"...Hey, times are always progressing and changing! How can the Exodus from Egypt three thousand years ago compare to the Exodus from Japan today?"
At present, the real "soul" of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet, the powerful shipgirl Miss Sophie, curled her lips disapprovingly, "...In short, after receiving the supplement of this batch of human resources, the battle in the South Pacific can be said to be a sure win. ! ”
"...But such a large-scale immigration fleet is a very long route across the Pacific Ocean from north to south. Just how to command and guide it is a big problem, and most of the sailors serving on the ship are rookies. , and also used seafarers from several countries. The translation alone makes people scratch their heads..."
Professor Guo thought for a moment, then shook his head, "... How to arrange for four million people to eat, drink, and have sex at sea is also a huge problem. Hey, this is simply a plan made by Showa's staff - okay , the combined fleet is indeed full of Showa staff. I estimate that as long as there is a slightly serious bad sea condition, such as a typhoon, the entire fleet will fall apart, not to mention the threat of American submarines and fleets... ”
"... Regarding the above-mentioned issues, we have also made some preparations. First of all, in the orbit of the earth in this time and space, we have micro-satellites from the Doraemon plane that can provide reconnaissance, navigation and weather forecasts at any time. Secondly, on the 'Ocean Oasis' where we are sitting, there is also a Doraemon prop [weather controller] that can adjust the weather to ensure that the fleet is surrounded by sunny weather and calm conditions along the way. ”
Wang Qiu said with confidence, "...Although each ship was overloaded with many passengers, enough compressed biscuits, sugar and cans were stored in advance, and part of the compressed rations were distributed to the refugees in advance to prevent them from being en route. Food was cut off. Fresh water was then rationed during the voyage. system, you can also replenish it in Saipan midway. In addition, if you encounter any accidents and urgently need to replenish fresh water, you can also use the [Weather Controller] to arrange several short-term high tides for the fleet. Intensity of rainfall over sea...
Finally, this is a time of war in which tens of thousands of people are killed at every turn, rather than a peaceful era in which sinking a Titanic and drowning thousands of people would cause a worldwide sensation. Sinking a few ships and drowning thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people during the voyage are all losses within a reasonable scope and are completely acceptable... At present, in the Japanese mainland, the U.S. military is attacking them every day. More than 10,000 Japanese died! ”
"...Well, since this is not a peaceful migration, but a desperate escape, it doesn't matter if we do it this way."
After bowing his head and pondering for a moment, Professor Guo finally had to admit that the way leaders think about problems during wartime is definitely very different from that during peacetime. In peaceful times, a fleet accident and the death of a few people would be a major event that would make headlines. But in this cruel era, the death of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of humans is just a number. "...However, even if you can use Black technology overcomes the obstacles of the natural environment and is mentally prepared to withstand a certain proportion of sacrifices. However, after hearing the news, the United States Pacific came to intercept. What to do with the fleet? With such a large-scale immigration fleet setting sail, even if the US military intelligence department is dead, it should have noticed some movement. Once it is caught up by the main fleet of the US Navy at sea, the slow-moving cruise ship will definitely be caught. If you can’t escape, it won’t be a matter of losing tens of thousands of people, but the entire immigration fleet will be in danger of being destroyed!”
"... Please be assured that according to satellite reconnaissance, the main force of the U.S. fleet stationed in the Japanese archipelago is still being bombed every day in Tokyo Bay. Moreover, as a precaution, the Combined Fleet Command not only uses submarines and seaplanes to attack Tokyo Bay The exits were mined and blocked, and several destroyer formations were left in the eastern waters, plus the battlecruiser King Kong. They could block the US fleet in Tokyo Bay for ten days and a half. "

——After the end of the “Great Kansai Counteroffensive” in late spring of this year, the super large-scale air battles that took place over the Japanese archipelago still show no signs of stopping. ——Rely on the crazy printing of money and unlimited redemption from [era vending machines] With the aircraft, ammunition and fuel produced, as well as various unqualified rookie pilots cobbled together by nationwide mobilization, the Japanese wartime base camp was almost determined to maximize the "air victory theory" this year.
Aiming at the anchorage of the U.S. fleet stationed in Japan at the Yokosuka garrison in Tokyo Bay, as long as the weather was clear, the wartime base camp would dispatch a bomber formation of 5,000 to 10,000 sorties every day to carry out frantic saturation bombing of the U.S. fleet and transport ships in Tokyo Bay. Even if every time the rookie pilots make a bombing sortie, they are beaten like turkeys by the oncoming American planes, with a terrible exchange ratio of ten to one or even twenty to one, even if a lot of people get lost in every sortie, even if There were a lot of takeoff and landing accidents at the rear airports every day, killing hundreds of ground crews. During the war, the base camp still insisted on letting the flying team continue to attack, so that the rookies could learn air combat in air combat. It seems that after the last fierce battle, which destroyed tens of thousands of tanks and turned Sekigahara into "Cheorwon", they are continuing to make persistent efforts to cover the entire capital area with aluminum sheets from aircraft wreckage and turn Tokyo into "Aluminum Beijing" ……
Regarding the goal of this "Great Air Battle of Kanto", the slogan of the Japanese base camp is "One aircraft for one life, use one million aircraft to flatten the enemy!"
With such an overwhelming "sea of aircraft" offensive, the US military stationed in Japan, which had just received a sap in the "Kansai Counteroffensive", was really miserable. Although the U.S. Army's ground anti-aircraft artillery units and fighter jet units have therefore received many excellent opportunities to gain military merit, they have achieved an astonishing record of shooting down more than 20,000 Japanese aircraft per week on average, and have also trained several "thousands of Japanese aircraft shot down". A super ace pilot who can kill "machine."
But on the other hand, the U.S. military's own losses are also increasing day by day. After all, their enemies also have machine guns and aerial cannons, and they will not just sit idle in the sky - in the anime, only one trial fighter plane can easily destroy a large fleet of supers. Ace pilots don't exist in reality.
Moreover, no matter how immature the Japanese pilots were at the beginning, as long as the number of sorties increased, they gradually matured from rookies to veterans - in the continuous and endless air battles, the skills of US military pilots The number of casualties began to increase, at first there were only More than a dozen or dozens of people were killed in battle, and then the number slowly turned into hundreds. However, the replacement speed of pilots could not keep up with the consumption. There was no way, with America's strong industrial strength and developed universal education, it was indeed It is possible to easily gather 200,000 or 300,000 pilots. But if we need to increase the number ten times more to create two or three million pilots, it will be too difficult for the young people of the United States of America. Besides, even if all the short-sighted people, old men, old women, and elementary school students are gathered together, and so many pilots are gathered together, the Pentagon cannot get together millions of planes for them to fly! ! !
In order to withstand such a flood and tsunami-like aircraft offensive, General Patton ordered a counterattack and also dispatched bombers to destroy the Japanese airport runway, with great results - the Japanese ground anti-aircraft artillery troops, like their pilots, also There are countless rookies, whose eyesight, intelligence, education and training are very worrying. In the face of the surprise attack of the US bomber formation, they are as weak as lambs.
However, the wealthy Japanese army directly ordered the pilots to "abandon the aircraft to protect their lives." Once the airport was destroyed when they returned, they would let the pilots parachute directly, let the plane crash, and then find another one that was not destroyed or was rushed out. At the frontline airport, flying a new plane back into the sky... Such endless and endless attacks, no matter how tenacious the American troops on the Japanese frontline were, were gradually becoming too much to bear.
In addition, this is only the situation in the air battlefield. On the ground battlefield, the U.S. and Japanese armies also launched a vigorous tank attack and artillery battle in Shizuoka Prefecture. On several main battlefields where the fighting was the most tragic, destroyed artillery and tanks were piled one on top of another. got up. Looking at that scene, it was as if Shizuoka Prefecture at the foot of Mount Fuji was being transformed into a "Tieoka Prefecture" - who made the Japanese army use unlimited ammunition, unlimited tanks and unlimited fuel? Moreover, as time goes by, the Japanese tank soldiers who were originally weak and rushed to the streets are gradually becoming more sophisticated...
It can be seen that under the pressure of such a high-intensity battlefield with continuous artillery fire, the US military stationed in Japan has no ability to intercept the Japanese immigration convoy. At most, it can only send a few submarines to conduct a sneak attack, and in World War II, the number of submarines was usually less than ten. At an underwater speed of 1 knot, I am afraid that most of them will not be able to catch up with the fleet.
Even so, just in case, in the month before the immigration fleet was dispatched, the base camp frequently dispatched submarines and seaplanes to intensively mine the exit of Tokyo Bay and the Uraga Channel, and dispatched a fast fleet to linger for a long time. Close surveillance is conducted outside the Uraga Suido Channel...
All in all, we are trying our best to block the U.S. fleet stationed in Japan in the Yokosuka garrison in Tokyo Bay just like the Port Arthur blockade operation in the Russo-Japanese War, and prevent them from coming out to talk nonsense and interfere with this thousand-year matter. Armed colonial action for national destiny.
As for the remaining enemies that the immigrant fleet may encounter on its way south, such as the British Royal Eastern Fleet stationed in Hong Kong and the U.S. Navy squadron cooperating in covering General MacArthur's recovery of the Philippines, they must rely on the main force of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet responsible for escort.
At first glance, this plan seemed to be very appropriate, but Professor Guo still saw the biggest drawback at a glance.
"...What to do with Halsey's fleet at Pearl Harbor? In this time and space where the US emperor is crazy about destroying warships, just the ships currently in the hands of the 'barbarian' General Halsey, in terms of tonnage and firepower, are... Already on top of the entire Japanese naval combined fleet, right?”
He pointed to the Hawaiian Islands on the chart and said, "...Moreover, the combined fleet is also burdened by the protection of the immigrant fleet, so it will inevitably be timid in the fight. It is just like fighting the second Russian in the Battle of Tsushima in the Russo-Japanese War." The Pacific Fleet has changed its position. It doesn’t look good no matter how you look at it!”
"...Halsey Fleet? Yes, this is indeed a huge threat, very deadly! Moreover, according to the latest satellite reconnaissance photos, Halsey Fleet has already anchored from Pearl Harbor, aiming directly at Mali in front of us. Yana Islands!”
Shipgirl Sophie shrugged her shoulders and said, "...In addition, his fleet also brought a lot of troop transport ships, as if they were going to land and seize the island."
"...If that's the case, then why are you so trusting?" Professor Guo's eyes widened in surprise.
"...Because Halsey's fleet can't reach the Mariana Islands at all, the power of nature will help us stop it..." Wang Qiu smiled mysteriously, "...Senior Sister Ma Tong has already rushed there on the submarine 'Iona' There was an ambush..."
