As soon as SPN's plan to bomb the Japanese archipelago was decided, the powerful military power of the Republic began to operate crazily. The plan to bomb Japan was directly named. [High-quality update] "Burning Yamato" continued the previous plan name, and was decided by the Air Force Staff

The three departments of the General Staff Headquarters and the Operations Department dispatched elite staff officers to organize elite forces to improve the plan.

Zhang Shusheng made it clear that for such a major strategic bombing plan, a special temporary department must be established to take overall responsibility, so the base camp's Japanese bombing headquarters hung up a sign.

Jiang Baili brought the list to the head of state's office early in the morning and handed the drafted list to Zhang Shusheng.

"Chairman, this is the preliminary structure of the bombing command against Japan, as well as the candidate list for selecting responsible personnel. The candidate for the commander-in-chief needs to be approved by you, Chairman."

"Let me see who you have killed, haha."[

In this candidate list jointly provided by the three departments, there are four candidates for the commander-in-chief, all of whom are from the Air Force.

Air Force Lieutenant General Fan Chaoping is the current commander of the Air Force’s Far East Theater.

Air Force Lieutenant General Ni Nan is currently the commander of the Northeast Theater Command of the Air Force.

Air Force Lieutenant General Wei Ran is currently the commander of the East China Region of the Air Force.

Air Force Lieutenant General Qin Zibin, former commander of the Northwest Region of the Air Force, is currently the deputy chief of staff of the Air Force Staff Department.

Zhang Shusheng nodded secretly. These four people all have overall command experience in the Air Force theater and have a good overall view, especially Fan Chaoping. This person had performed well in Mongolia before and then successfully organized a campaign against Japan in the Far East Theater.

They continued to suppress the Allies in their struggle for air supremacy in the Far East theater for most of the next six months, making it impossible for the Allies to cross the very close border and conduct air strikes on the mainland of China.

The remaining three people have their own advantages and disadvantages. Some have more experience in organizing large-scale battlefield air forces, and some, like Qin Zibin, have experience in the staff department. Overall, Zhang Shusheng is very fond of Fan Chaoping, the commander of the Far East Theater.

"I am more optimistic about Comrade Fan Chaoping, but he has the important task of commanding the Far East Theater of the Air Force. Will it affect the situation in the Far East Theater if he is temporarily transferred?" Zhang Shusheng asked.

Jiang Baili pondered for a while and said, "The overall situation in the Far East Theater is currently relatively stable. The Allies are accumulating strength. It is expected that a large-scale battle will break out after the spring. There is no problem so far. I am temporarily seconded to be responsible for the strategy against Japan.

Bombing is feasible."

The Far East Theater is definitely of first-class importance, with more than a million troops. If there is a problem with air supremacy, it will be a huge disaster. However, since there is no major war, such a person who knows the Japanese Air Force very well can command the Air Force's large-scale operations.

It is best for experienced generals to take charge of the overall situation. [High-quality update]

Zhang Shusheng also knew that the bombing of Japan would not go as smoothly as imagined. The Allies had a considerable number of night combat aircraft in the Far East theater, and relying on the United States as their godfather, the Japanese air force upgrade plan was carried out in an orderly manner, even with the early heavy bombing.

Very smooth

, it will also evolve from simple bombing to a Strait-style air battle, and it is even possible that a long-lasting large-scale air battle will break out over the Sino-Japanese Middle Sea. In this way, it is not just about commanding the aircraft to fly over at night and drop some bombs.

, the problems involved are much more serious.

"Let's put Comrade Fan Chaoping in charge of this big bombing plan. This plan may evolve into an Anglo-German-style air battle over the Straits in the later stages. A strong and outstanding commander is needed to control the overall situation. The command of the Air Force's Far East Theater is temporarily handed over to

Comrade Liang Yuanguang, deputy commander of the Air Force's Far East Theater."

Zhang Shusheng thought for a moment and made a decision. It was appropriate to let the deputy temporarily take over the air force affairs in the Far East Theater.

"The exporter is ringing..., Lieutenant General Fan Chaoping's phone rang at the Far East Air Force Command of the National Defense Forces in Jiamusi. It was a red internal phone. He was slightly stunned and answered the phone. With the war in the Far East

It's getting calmer and it's the eve of the storm. I haven't thought about this phone for a long time.

"Hello, I am Fan Chaoping, Air Force Far East Theater Command."

"Chaoping, I am Fan Siran. You will temporarily hand over the work in the Far East Theater to Deputy Commander Liang Yuanguang. Return to Beijing. I have an important task for you. The task will take a long time. You will be responsible for the work in the Far East Theater.

You may not be able to take care of it. The detailed order will be telegraphed to you soon. You must seize the time to hand over the work... What came on the phone was the voice of General Fan Siran, Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Forces Air Force.

Fan Chaoping was stunned when he heard this. Could it be that which war zone was in a tight situation? Or maybe the Southeast Asian war zone needed to allocate manpower to organize a large-scale air war?

It was just a guess, so he picked up the phone and called the deputy commander, Lieutenant General Liang Yuanguang.

"Commander."[

"Old Liang, have you been going well at work and in life lately? I was busy with the war before, so I, as a full-time official, rarely care about you as my right-hand man, haha." Fan Chaoping motioned for him to sit down.

"Commander, you're welcome. The Allies are not making any noise, and no large-scale war has broken out between us and the enemy. Now there are only minor quarrels in the sky. I feel bored and panicked. It's a difficult life."

Liang Yuanguang said with a smile that he didn't know that he would soon resist the Air Force command flag in the Far East Theater.

"You, you have the same problem as me. You can't sleep if you can't hear the sound of planes taking off and landing, haha. Speaking of which, we have been partners for several years. I have always recognized your ability. Let me tell you something.

Good news, Commander-in-Chief Fan asked me to hand over the work to you and let you temporarily command the air force affairs in the Far East Theater."

Fan Chaoping said with a smile that he was actually quite happy that his old partner could take on the role on his own. He knew very well that Liang Yuanguang's ability was completely sufficient.

"Ah..." Liang Yuanguang was stunned. "What about you, Commander?"

"Me? I'll go back to Beijing to report on my work and make other arrangements for work, haha."

The two looked at each other, but they both understood something. During this period, the public's call for an increase in the intensity of the war against Japan was very loud. As the air force generals who had the most dealings with the Japanese, the two of them suggested more than once that they launch strategic bombings against Japan to destroy it.

The war potential of the Japanese army will provide support for future wars in the Far East and Southeast Asia. "Then I wish the commander a happy journey and make new achievements in his new post." Liang Yuanguang didn't say much, stood up and saluted, which was considered a salute.

took the baton.

The transfer of work between the two went very smoothly. The telegram from the base camp arrived at the headquarters at noon. Fan Chaoping presided over a high-level meeting of the theater, announced the transfer order from the base camp, and formally handed over the air force command of the Far East Theater to Liang Yuan.

Guang, I took a plane back to Beijing that afternoon, and when I landed at Hanking Airport, it was just when the lights were first coming on.

Early the next morning, Fan Chaoping rushed to the base camp to report on his work.

"Reporting to Commander-in-Chief Fan, Commander Fan Chaoping of the Far East Theater of the Air Force reports to you." Although it was already time to turn on the lights when I returned home last night, my wife and daughter were naturally very happy when they saw me coming home suddenly and had a hearty meal.

During dinner, I put my daughter to sleep and the couple had a great fight. Naturally, I was in high spirits today.

"Chaoping, you came here very quickly." Fan Siran put down the work in his hands, looked at this veteran and capable general, nodded with satisfaction, picked up the documents on the table and handed them to him, "Let's take a look.

This is your new mission."

Fan Chaoping took the document and looked at it. It turned out to be a letter of appointment.

"Comrade Fan Chaoping is hereby appointed as the person in charge of the 'Burning Yamato' plan, as the commander-in-chief of the Strategic Bombing Command against Japan, and is fully responsible for the bombing against Japan and the future air war between China and Japan..., although the appointment letter only confirms his own ideas,

Fan Chaoping was still very excited. With so many talented people in the Republic Air Force, he was given such an important position. How could he not be excited?

"This task is very difficult. In addition to the Japanese, your opponents may also be Americans behind them. The Chairman of the Generalissimo asked us to blow Japan to pieces. Do you have the confidence to complete the task?" Fan Siran asked seriously.

"Report, yes!!" Fan Chaoping stood at attention and saluted.

At this point, the Base Camp Japan Bombing Command was formally established, which kicked off a major bombing and air battle that had a far-reaching impact and caused huge losses to Japan.

At the same time, in Tokyo, Emperor Hirohito also received intelligence from China.

"Your Majesty, the large-scale demonstrations against us that are currently breaking out in China are getting more and more intense. Their 'government' used our assassination of Zhang Shusheng as an excuse to incite this demonstration. Now it seems that they have incited public opinion and in turn gained

With the strengthening of public opinion, the prestige of the 'government' has reached its peak, providing the best excuse for a deeper war."

Military intelligence chief Kenji Doihara is a China expert and has lived in China for a long time. He has always believed that intelligence work on China should account for at least two-thirds of the empire's intelligence tasks. Especially as China becomes more and more powerful.

Since then, he has repeatedly strived to expand the funding and scale of the Intelligence Department to better spy on this opponent.

Hirohito frowned and turned over the information in his hand, as if he hadn't heard what he said. After a while, he asked, "Do they really dare to attack the mainland of the empire?"

"Your Majesty, this possibility is very small. I think their real purpose should be to carry out a cross-sea bombing on us just like the Germans did to the British. The Chinese, at least now, will never want to attack us across the sea. They

They were even so arrogant that they openly asked their "government" in newspapers to launch an attack on our homeland, or to bomb Tokyo and London like the Germans did.

Same..." Kenji Doihara saw the emperor's somewhat absent-minded look, and couldn't help but secretly thought that when formulating the assassination plan, His Majesty was more active than anyone else. He wished that Zhang Shu would live and die in Myanmar. As a result, things have become like this, and he is afraid of China.

The people turned their attention and focused their attention on Japan, and even directly attacked the Japanese mainland. His Majesty's behavior is still a little crazy.[

"The situation has reached this point. Is it really going to be a cross-sea bombing?" Hirohito closed his eyes slightly, but he was not angry at Kenji Doihara's words. He seemed to see Britain and London, being bombarded by hundreds of Germans.

Planes bombed and suffered heavy losses, and it was obvious that the Chinese air force was much stronger than the Germans.

No country in the world understands this better than the Japanese. "Doihara-kun, based on your understanding of China and your views on things, do you have any suggestions?"

"I suggest that His Majesty the Emperor contact the Americans immediately and ask them to help us. Once the Chinese start bombing, we need more aircraft, more advanced radars, and more advanced air defense weapons. If we suffer heavy losses, the Allied forces will also

will be weakened. At this time, the Americans must help us. Only with their strength can we protect ourselves in the face of the fierce bombing by the Chinese."

"You pay close attention to the trends in China and keep me and the military informed at any time." The emperor nodded and ordered the officials on the side, "Give the military an order to come up with a comprehensive response plan and inform the United States of the situation at the same time.

People, we can start negotiations and ask them to support us."
