Chapter 779 Ah! Navy (10, 1600 Votes Plus More)

ps: More updates with tears in my eyes, feeling like my body has been hollowed out...

"Yamamoto, Inoue, do you want to come together?" Horikichi asked.

Inoue Narumi shook her head subconsciously.

"Then I won't force you. Everyone, just keep drinking slowly here. I'll come as soon as I can!"

Yamamoto Isoroku fell heavily on his chair, unable to say a word. He could only stare at Horikichi's hat. He suddenly remembered the February 26th seven years ago, which was also a snowy night...

"Wait a minute." Horikichi's wife stopped him and put a cloak on him carefully, "It's cold outside, please keep warm. If you are unlucky, I will never survive!"

"Believe me!" Horikichi patted her hand, "I haven't been defeated yet! I can't do a power struggle; they can't fight a war, hahahaha!"

After that, he strode away with Chiaki Matsuda, leaving only a vague message: "Take good care of Yamamoto-kun and Inoue-kun, and don't let them get hurt..."

Until now, Yamamoto Isoroku still doesn’t know that he has been fooled? - Horikichi took control of him and Inoue Narumi on the pretext of reminiscing about old times. The entire Navy Province was leaderless. The military command department Fushimi Miyahiro Kyouwang was still in the hospital. Only Ito was left alone. Who could stop him? Who can deal with it in a hurry? He couldn't help feeling regretful and slapped his thigh repeatedly.

Inoue Narumi slumped on a chair, picked up a bottle of red wine and poured it into her mouth. While drinking, she let out a laugh that was worse than crying: "As expected of the chief of the 32nd period, and as worthy of being the marshal and admiral of the navy! So cruel! So cruel. ! Admire! "

Yamamoto Isoroku was still a little unwilling, his eyes swept around the faces of a circle of loaded officers and soldiers, and finally settled on the leading officer, asking: "Lieutenant, what is your name?"

"Reporting to the commander, Zeng Hong, a humble official."

"Do you know me?"

"I know you. You are General Isoroku Yamamoto, Minister of the Navy. I have known you for a long time."

"Very good, just get to know me. Now send me back to the Navy Ministry. After I'm sent here, you will be a major."

"I'm sorry, sir." Zhong Zenghong showed a half-smiling look in his eyes.

"Asshole, how dare a little lieutenant refuse an order from an admiral?"

"Don't you want to know how I met you so early?"

Yamamoto was a little annoyed, but he still held his breath and snorted from his nose: "You said it."

"I have known you since we were at Truk Anchorage. I am responsible for escorting the snapper sashimi you enjoy every day, not once or twice, but often."

Sea bream is a high-end dish in Tokyo. There is no sea bream in Truk. The sea bream sashimi and salt-baked sea bream enjoyed by Yamamoto Isoroku were all flown in from thousands of miles away. The luxury of the Combined Fleet is evident.

Nakaso Hiroshi seemed not to notice Yamamoto Isoroku's somewhat gloomy expression, and kept talking to himself: "You stay on the Yamato, enjoy the air-conditioning comfortably, enjoy the specially prepared food in the rear, hide in Truk and watch the army and navy. There was a bloody battle on the front line, but Commander Horikichi ate the same food as us, personally led the Yamato to charge the U.S. fleet in the Solomon Sea, and finally defeated the opponent. If you were in my position, who would you obey? Who are you willing to take orders from?"

There was a "boom", as if a bomb exploded in Yamamoto Isoroku's mind. He staggered for two steps, picked up a bottle of red wine and poured it into his mouth. He knew where he had failed. Even a little lieutenant now dares to point his finger at him and scold him. Needless to say, how failed he is as a human being?

Mihashi Reiko desperately grabbed the bottle from him and cried: "Don't drink, don't drink anymore. Hori-kun is a kind person and won't make it difficult for you."

"You don't understand... you don't understand..." he cried and drank.

Nakaso Hiroshi quietly retreated with his soldiers and guarded the entire residence of Horikichi. He knew that in the eyes of the commander, Yamamoto Isoroku and Inoue Narumi were his own, and they would have to work together sooner or later, so why bother them? But there were some words that he just didn't want to say out loud. After letting out the breath that he had been holding for a long time, he suddenly felt a lot more at ease, so he just stayed with Commander Horikichi.

A soldier quietly gave him a thumbs up: "Sir, you are awesome. You dare to scold the admiral without using curse words!"

"Don't I know that you are also scolding me behind my back? If you can, scold me in front of me!" Nakaso Hong feigned anger.

As soon as the other party stuck out his tongue, he immediately retracted it and stood respectfully.

At this moment, under the soft light of the desk lamp, Ito Zhengyi was still processing various official documents in the Military Command Department.

Since Horikichi's case was successfully resolved, Prince Fushimi Miyahiro was in a good mood, his health improved a lot, and he would be officially discharged from the hospital tomorrow. However, doctors have warned many times: Although His Highness is in good spirits, he is old and entering his final years, so he must reduce his work load. Prince Fushimi Miyahiro listened to this opinion obediently and determined to change it.

Over the past year, he had been hospitalized several times. Although he was angry with Hori, it was also inseparable from his own frail health. So this time he planned to hand over the power to people such as Ito Seiichi, Fukuru Shige and others whom he trusted. However, Ito Seiichi was a cautious person. Although he was given enough rights, he still wrote down the instructions carefully and waited for Fushimi Miyahiro Kyou. Wang signed it before issuing it, and then went to the hospital every day to sort out particularly important situations and report them.

In fact, Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi only paid attention to the affairs related to Hori Teikichi, and had long been absent-minded about other naval work, but he was still very happy with Ito Seiichi's performance and obedience. In contrast, the senior Kondo Nobutake disappointed him - he had expected Kondo to take up the banner of the fleet faction and take control of the combined fleet, but he did not expect the latter to not only refuse to take over, but also particularly dislike the faction of getting rid of Hori Teikichi. If it were not for Kondo's important position, he would have wanted to replace him. What made Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi even more desperate was Takasu Shiro, a good backbone of the fleet faction, but he was forced to transfer him to the reserve because of Hori Teikichi's breakup with him. It was really unreasonable!

This also made him very scared: Fortunately, it was resolved in time, otherwise, when Hori Teikichi led the fleet for another two or three years, wouldn't everyone be pulled over by him? That would be really a big deal.

Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi believed that Seiichi Ito had made great contributions to the resolution of this incident, which fully demonstrated his ability: First, he proposed to join forces with the Navy Ministry to stabilize the situation, and did a good job of Yamamoto Isoroku, making the other party remain neutral or even slightly inclined to the attitude of the Military General Staff; Second, he agreed with Chuichi Nagumo's strategy of protecting Kakuta and Nishimura and maintaining the stability of the mobile fleet.

At the beginning, Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi was also very angry with Kakuta and Nishimura, and he had to get rid of them as soon as possible, but Seiichi Ito believed that he should focus on dealing with the main contradiction. Kakuta is currently one of the few commanders with actual combat experience in the mobile fleet, and he can effectively restrain Chuichi Nagumo. What if Kakuta is captured and Chuichi Nagumo loses 4 aircraft carriers? This terrible prospect forced Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi to think seriously, and finally believed that Seiichi Ito's considerations were more comprehensive and more favorable.

This two-pronged approach had an unexpected effect. The personnel turmoil in the fleet was quickly calmed down. Chuichi Nagumo also reported that Kakuta and Nishimura had surrendered, which made Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi happy. As long as Kakuta and Nishimura were obedient, he would not mind not mentioning this matter - adults should be generous.

Although Ito Seiichi still felt sorry for Hori Teikichi, he also thought that this was a relatively satisfactory result. In addition, Hori Teikichi also got 70 million marks for the navy before leaving. He was deeply moved and prepared to persuade Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi to properly organize the ennoblement and farewell ceremony - everyone should part ways in peace and there would be a chance to meet again in the future.

The sound of gunfire broke the silence of the snowy night, and then the entire military command became noisy.

"What's going on?" Ito Seiichi is 53 years old this year, in the prime of his life, with good hearing. He immediately heard something wrong and ran out to ask.

Before the people around could react, they could only hear more "bang bang bang" sounds and screams one after another, and the noise gradually became clear:

"Rebels! Rebels!"

"God damn you! Kill!"

Then there was the sound of fierce machine gun fire. Ito Seiichi was not hallucinating. The sound he heard was the sound of the Marine Brigade using a jeep to mount the American heirloom - the 12.7mm heavy machine gun, suppressing the fire. It was really like raining bullets.

"The Army is rebelling again?" Ito Seiichi was anxious. Although he didn't understand why the Army was rebelling, he instinctively thought that the situation was not good. He picked up the phone to notify the hospital, but the phone was cut off and there was no response. He hurriedly notified the guards outside the door: "You two rush out to report the news, find His Highness all the way, and ask him to hide quickly; go to the base camp to find the Army and ask what's going on?"

Although the Military General Staff is a key position and has Marines stationed, it is only used to deal with ronin making trouble. Who would dare to think that there would be an army attacking the Military General Staff? The Marines defending the General Staff had never been in battle before. They only had a few Type 38 rifles and light machine guns, not even a grenade launcher. The First Marine Brigade they faced had not only heavy machine guns, but also Tiger tanks. The vehicle-mounted machine guns continued to fire. If they had not restrained themselves and had a clear advantage, the 88mm high-explosive shells would have been fired.

Under the intensive firepower of Browning, Garand, and Thompson, the insignificant defense force of the General Staff was quickly broken. More importantly, after recognizing that the attacking force was their own people, also the navy, and the First Marine Brigade, many guards and staff officers automatically gave up resistance - what was there to fight against their own people? They just wanted to be punished by heaven! Anyway, they couldn't reach it, so let them go. The two guards sent by Ito Seiichi had just arrived at the door, and before they could figure out the situation, they were directly knocked to the ground by the officers and soldiers of the anti-rebellion army with Thompson submachine guns. A large number of people rushed in and controlled various key points separately.

The staff of the Military Affairs Department stared blankly at the anti-rebellion army charging towards them. They were still confused: Wasn't the First Brigade training on Mageshima? How did they get to Tokyo? How did they get here? Could they fly?
