Is Nan Yunzhong really a fool?

As a senior general of the Japanese navy, Nayun Zhong Yi was deeply relied on by Yamaki 56, who was known as the "Japanese army god" and "war gambler". During the war, Shandong 56 entrusted an important task to Nan Yunzhong.

Such a person, we can arbitrarily think that he is a fool!

Nan Yunzhong is a well-behaved senior naval general. His personality characteristics are: extremely cautious and very careful.

Nan Yunzhong is a traditional naval general and an expert in mine warfare. It is indeed a great test for him to command the formation of modern mobile aircraft carriers.

However, Na Yunzhong was the best navigation expert in the Japanese navy at that time.

The Japanese navy will sail thousands of nautical miles to attack the American fleet. How to ensure that it sails in secret and is not discovered by the US Navy? Can you reach your destination on time, accurately and smoothly?

Japanese naval generals looked at each other! Because none of them can guarantee that they can do it!

However, Nan Yunzhong, he can do it!

This is also an important reason why Nan Yunzhong has been reused by Isoroku Yamamoto and fought in the ocean, and he has assumed many important responsibilities.

Nan Yunzhong was criticized because he was a fool and even called him "the undercover of the US Navy in Japan", which was mainly caused by his two performances in the attack on Pearl Harbor and Midway Island.

1. In the attack on Pearl Harbor, after the first two rounds of air strikes achieved great success, Nan Yunzhong refused the request of his subordinates to launch three waves of attacks and completely destroy the important infrastructure such as the US Navy pier and oil tank in Pearl Harbor, and ordered to end the battle and anchor for return.

This has reserved the important military facilities of the base for the US Navy, which is conducive to the rapid recovery of the US Pacific Fleet.

2. Nan Yunzhong's performance in the naval battle of Midway Island was the most laughed at.

Because Nan Yunzhong didn't receive any information about the American carrier fleet at first, he was always worried. So that when the reconnaissance plane found the American fleet, Nan Yunzhong hesitated and made up his mind, and refused the request of Major General Yamaguchi to attack immediately.

As a result, everyone knows that the Japanese plane was delayed for two hours because it changed its arms back and forth and recovered the plane that came back from the air raid. And the consequences are extremely serious.

The fiasco of the Midway naval battle caused a devastating blow to the Japanese joint fleet. Since then, the Pacific War has turned around.

In addition to Nan Yunzhong's cautious character, we should also see that Nan Yunzhong, like Shandong's fifty-six views, has a poor country thinking. They are all afraid of the strong industrial production capacity of the United States, especially their own aircraft carriers.

Therefore, there is a belief in the depths of Nan Yun's thought: it is important to win, but it is more important to keep the aircraft carrier. Because Japan's military production capacity is not as good as that of the United States, the Japanese navy can't afford to be hit hard, especially the aircraft carrier!

Therefore, Nan Yunzhong is not a so-called fool. It's just that his cautious personality and deep-rooted thought of protecting the ship bound his hands and feet, making him afraid to take risks and fight.

Conclusion: Isoroku Yamamoto, a war gambler who spoke highly of Nanyun Zhong Yi, once commented on Nanyun Zhong Yi's operations with infinite regret at the tactical seminar after the attack on Pearl Harbor: "If you are a thief who broke into the house, you will go confidently; Once you succeed, you will run away in panic.
