Inside the office,
Lin Zheng, handsome and youthful, was around twenty years old.
He wore a black, imposing suit.
Lin Zheng was quite tall and had a straight posture.
He slowly spoke:
"I am aware of the worsening situation in the Anti-Japanese War."
"The Anti-Japanese War has worsened, with the fall of Northeast China, North China, and the Yangtze River region. The Nationalist Army is holding the line in Southwest China..."
"The worsening situation in the Anti-Japanese War truly requires strong external support."
"I, Lin, am also of Chinese descent, and I will join the Anti-Japanese War!"
Lin Zheng observed the other person's expression.
Dai Lao Ban's face was serious. He remained silent for a few seconds before saying, "The Chairman's intention is...the port in Hainan Island can be leased. If you can eliminate the 20,000 Japanese troops on the island, you will be granted a naval base lease!"
…
Lin Zheng heard the words "naval base"!
He was stunned for a few seconds!!
He quickly understood. In 1940, it was the most difficult period for China's resistance against Japan.
He quickly figured out that this was a way to officially bring him into the Anti-Japanese camp.
Lin Zheng's orders were quickly dispatched. A Red Alert fleet, after a journey of over two thousand nautical miles, arrived at the port of Hainan Island.
Three Aegis-equipped large cruisers targeted the Japanese warships in the port with their missile systems!
Whiz——!
Whiz——!
Whiz——!
Thirty-six ST missiles, each weighing a ton, slammed into the Japanese warships. The 5,000-ton Fuso-class cruisers Muko and Tama, anchored in the port, exploded and sank instantly!!
Another thirty-six one-ton ST missiles struck the Japanese military camp. The explosions engulfed the 8,000 men of the Iida Combined Brigade, swallowing the camp in fire, explosions, and flying flesh!
The Red Alert destroyer fleet, with each ship displacing 5,000 tons, unleashed a barrage of missiles from their launch systems, raining down on the Japanese military camp!
The Red Alert troop transport fleet, fully loaded with three divisions totaling 50,000 men, landed on the beach with 50,000 men armed with M60 general-purpose machine guns!
After one hour, the 8,000 men of the Iida Combined Brigade were completely wiped out!
After four hours, the entire island's 20,000-plus Japanese troops were completely annihilated!
………
Homeland of Japan
The Japanese Tokyo Imperial Headquarters.
An emergency Imperial Conference was convened.
Emperor Hirohito's face turned pale with shock.
He could hardly believe the information in the telegram.
"Baka——！？ Our Japanese forces in the port of Hainan Island have been attacked! The cruisers Tama and Muko have sunk! The entire island's 20,000-plus Japanese troops have perished!"
Emperor Hirohito's face was extremely contorted.
Since launching the war, the Japanese Empire had never faced such a disastrous defeat.
Since launching the war, the Japanese Empire had only been defeated by the Soviet Empire at Nomonhan in the Far East, where the Japanese suffered a humiliating defeat with 70,000 casualties among the hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers in the Nomonhan area.
The Minister of Army, the Minister of Navy, Prince Narihito, and Emperor Hirohito's faces were all deeply somber.
Emperor Hirohito said, "Gentlemen, I do not want to see another report of the Japanese Empire's defeat!"
His eyes were filled with rage.
He felt nothing but rage!
In the end, filled with rage, Emperor Hirohito left the meeting with a cold face.
