"I know someone."

"He can convert these into U.S. dollars, but he needs to give a partial discount, ten thousand to one."

Ogami used various means to contact Suzuki Fanji.

"Yoshi."

Suzuki Fanji was overjoyed.

The empire itself was unable to produce qualified counterfeit Jinan coins. For this reason, it could only seek help from abroad. With money opening the way, it finally received help from a large minting company.

But so far, the effect seems to be very poor.

In other words, Tubalu’s technology is beyond imagination.

Even large international companies and large companies that cooperate with the government are unable to produce qualified new Hebei Nan coins.

He can only pull this part of the currency over and put it into the market piecemeal.

But this will definitely be a big loss.

In order to persuade large foreign companies to produce new Jinan coins, he spent millions of dollars, and the first batch included 50 million second-generation Jinan coins, and the cost may not be recovered.

Now it can be exchanged ten to one, which is totally a blood profit.

“How many can you sell?”

Suzuki Fanji asked.

The first batch is 50 million,
There will be another 1.5 billion to follow, and these cannot be returned.

"a lot of."

"That person is the person in charge of a bank on Tubal Road. He said that the first batch can be exchanged for one hundred million Henan coins."

"One hundred million!"

Suzuki Fanji couldn't help but subconsciously asked:

"who is it?"

"General!"

The male Shangzhi took a few steps back:
"If I tell you, the other party won't be willing to exchange it."

Ogami knew that Suzuki Fanji was not one of his group, and would not resist the Locusts, nor would he think of subverting the empire. Although this person was not a die-hard member of the Locust faction, he was still a vested interest.

Therefore, there is no intention to recruit Suzuki Fanji to join the team.

"Feel sorry."

Suzuki Fanji nodded and asked no more questions.

Can exchange 100 million counterfeit coins at one time.

He speculated that it should be the senior officials there.

"Then leave it to you."

"The first batch of 50 million."

Suzuki Fanji said.

"Hi!"

The male Shangzhi felt happy and bowed his head in response.

"Can I still exchange it later?"

Suzuki Fanji asked.

"Yes, and it can be exchanged for a lot, but it will take a few days."

The corners of the male Shangzhi's lips curled up.

As long as this is done, he will be able to climb to the top of the empire step by step, and then with the support there, he will start to grow his power.

Bushido?
Locusts?

joke.

They don't see actual benefits, they only know about brainwashing. There are so many people in the Locust Army who are dissatisfied with the Locusts and the Empire!

It's just that his position is not high and he cannot organize on a large scale.

"Yoshi."

Suzuki Fanji said "Yoshi", announcing the birth of one of the biggest Japanese traitors.

However, at this time, he was extremely happy.

I finally found a loophole in Tubal Road. This must be because someone within it is greedy and found a loophole to make money.

As for whether it is a conspiracy.

Suzuki Fanji was not worried at all. How could it be a conspiracy when he got the free dollars?
Although he was happy, Suzuki Fanji was extremely jealous. He didn't expect that Tubalu would be so wealthy.

···
a few days later.

Tokyo.

"In exchange for twenty million dollars?!"

Mitsumasa Yoneuchi's eyes twitched.

He really didn't expect that the North China region would obtain 20 million US dollars in funds in just one week.

"Yoshi."

Although shocked and surprised, Mitsumasa Yoneuchi couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Twenty million dollars in funding.

The empire's current military expenditure for one month, converted into U.S. dollars, is only 200 million U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to an increase of one-tenth of the military expenditure out of thin air.

"prime minister."

At this moment, the secretary came over and said to Mitsumasa Yoneuchi:

"The Locust demands a royal meeting."

"Imperial Council?!"

Mitsumasa Yoneuchi frowned.

What do you want to do when you convene a royal meeting at this time?

···
"Isn't it already agreed?"

That afternoon.

Locust Palace.

Mitsumasa Yoneuchi's voice was hysterical:
"Should we first concentrate our efforts on solving the problems of the Republic of China on the mainland?"

Mitsumasa Yoneuchi's worries became a reality.

At the imperial meeting held this time, Tianchu and several senior ministers, such as Prince Fushimi Gong Hirokyo, Prince Kanin Gong Zaihito, etc., suddenly wanted to restart the plan to go south.

"because."

The actual controller of the army and Tianlu’s right-hand man, Prince Hanwon Gong Zairen said:

"Do you think it's really possible to eliminate that group of people in North China?"

The sharp question pressed into Mitsumasa Yoneuchi's mind.

All along,
Mitsumasa Yoneuchi also had a question in his mind.

Can the locust army completely wipe out that group of people in North China?

That group of Eighth Route Army has obtained tens of millions of tons of food supplies, a large amount of advanced weapons and equipment, almost inexhaustible funds, and a reserve force so large that even the empire would envy it?

Can the locust army be eliminated? Mitsumasa Yoneuchi actually has the answer in his mind.

"Even if the Empire can completely occupy the Republic of China, will it be able to obtain the rubber and oil that the Empire urgently needs?"

The words of Prince Fushimi Miyahiro, the actual controller of the Navy, also left Mitsumasa Yoneuchi speechless.

Yes!

Even if the empire could occupy the Republic of China, where would the oil the empire needed come from?

"So, start the plan to go south now."

Hirohito's tone was cold and left no room for doubt:
"but."

"The empire still needs the United States, so the current relationship will be maintained for the time being."

"But 70% of the new military expenditure will go to the navy and 30% to the army."

When Tian Locust spoke, all the important ministers stopped clamoring.

"Hi!"

Among the important ministers, Tojo Hideki was the first to nod.

"But··"

Mitsumasa Yoneuchi opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end.

He wanted to say.

If the Southward Movement Plan is launched now, it is expected that the Southward Movement Plan will be truly implemented one year later.

By then, will the empire be able to defeat the United States?

But at this time the empire was in a situation where there was no other choice.

Although the United States is still trading with the Empire, the prices of resources and machinery and equipment necessary for the Empire have increased significantly, and key resources are controlled by America, which means that the Empire will never be able to escape the control of the United States.

It's better to start planning now.

Things are very good for the Empire these days.

If you don't look at the situation of the North China Front.

There are abundant resources and sufficient funds. If we prepare for a year, maybe...

···
The next day.

Imperial Japan, Rear Admiral of the Naval Air Force, Onishi Takijiro came to the Imperial Naval Aviation Research Institute.

"Research on guided bombs?"

Technical expert Nojiro was a little surprised when he heard the request.

"I've seen the guided bombs that appeared in North China."

"The technical principle is actually very simple."

"Essentially, it's a radio-controlled bomb attached to the wing."

"However, we cannot solve the remote control delay problem. The bomb is too fast and there will be serious remote control delay problems. Our radio technology level is insufficient."

Later, he explained:
'Furthermore, even if the remote control delay is solved, the distance cannot be too far during the control process, and the position of the remote control operator must be constant, otherwise the deviation will increase and the actual effect may be poor.'

"Remote control delay."

Onishi Takijiro fell into deep thought.

He is a staunch aviation faction,
It is believed that in future naval battles, aircraft carriers and aircraft will inevitably play the leading role in combat.

After seeing the bomb with long eyes hitting the staff building near the headquarters in North China, he immediately realized that this was what the future naval battle would look like.

Bombs have eyes, torpedoes have eyes, and they can rush towards enemy ships freely.

The plane only serves as a delivery vehicle.

Therefore, he immediately applied for funds to research similar weapons, and the Navy Department also strongly supported it, giving him 5 million yen for verification research.

But now it seems,
The empire does not seem to have the technical capabilities to manufacture the decisive weapons of the future.

"Remote control delay."

"Remote control delay..."

While talking to himself, an idea emerged from Onishi Takijiro's mind.

Radio-controlled bombs have severe delays and are very restrictive.

But if you use a human to control the remote control...

For example, build an airplane, load it with bombs, fly it with a pilot, and increase its speed to increase the probability of hitting it.

Thinking of this, Onishi Takijiro became uncontrollably excited.

Using one or several aircraft, a few pilots, or even just a trainee pilot to destroy an enemy warship or even a capital ship is a great deal.

It's a bargain.

It’s so in line with the empire’s precision combat philosophy!

No matter how strong America is.

But it is impossible to compete with the empire on capital ships and aircraft.

In U.S. dollars, a capital ship is worth tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars, and even a destroyer is worth millions, or even tens of millions of dollars.

As for an aircraft, if it is modified from an existing aircraft seat platform, the cost will only be 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars, including the high speed to be achieved and the large amount of explosives loaded.

As for the cost of pilot training, it’s even cheaper.

The cost of fuel, the cost of the training aircraft, and the cost of a pilot with fifty hours of flight experience is only more than fifteen thousand US dollars.

As for pilots willing to fly.

The empire has no shortage of brave warriors.

"How can we get the Admiralty and the base camp to agree?"

All that remains is the only question.

Although the empire adheres to the spirit of Bushido, the die-hard naval aviation group probably will not agree to this combat plan.

He needed to find a way.

Or an opportunity.

However, before that, some preliminary research can be done, such as aircraft research and verification, but this requires funds, and the senior management will not agree even if they think about it.

so··

"Nojiro-kun."

Onishi Takijiro's lips curled up:
"I have an idea."

Let's proceed with this research in the name of researching and developing air bombs.

In later generations, Onishi Takijiro was also one of the main Japanese naval officers who promoted the kamikaze force.

But at that time, in 44, the Japanese were at the end of their rope, with a shortage of resources, a shortage of manpower, not many pilots left, and not even much fuel, so they had to organize in a hurry.

However, more than 3,000 Kamikaze aircraft were still deployed, and specialized Kamikaze attack aircraft such as Sakura were developed.

At this time,
In late 40, affected by the situation in North China, a training plan for new pilots was launched, although only two to three thousand pilots were eventually trained.

If you have the excess, it will be no problem to drive the kamikaze.

as well as,

Verification of the model has begun. (End of chapter)
