Shito!! Teikoku Kido Butai Chohen Senki Simulation Novel (Kosu Mikku Bunko)

[Machine Translation] In 1939, Isoroku Yamamoto, Vice Minister of the Navy who opposed the Tripartite Pact between Japan, Germany, and Italy, was injured in a right-wing terrorist attack. However, Yamamoto's unconscious body is possessed by the consciousness of Isohachi Saito, an antiquarian bookstore owner who is a war history enthusiast who was transported back in time from the future by the impact of a car accident. The time is just before Yamamoto was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet. Isohachi, who is well versed in all aspects of history, decides to take the role of Isoroku Yamamoto and lead the Pacific War to victory. By practicing "historical IF," Japan destroys an aircraft carrier at Pearl Harbor, captures MacArthur on the Philippine front, and destroys the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Midway, and steadily achieves war results. However, the world situation, brought about by new conflicts due to the alteration of history, puts Japan in an even more difficult situation.
