"Bastard, is Tojo-kun trying to overthrow the China strategy established by His Majesty Jinkou?"

After half an hour, the venue suddenly became full of turmoil, with all kinds of insults, shouts, and even throwing up their sleeves and wanting to use force.Seishiro Itagaki, who was a senior official of Hideki Tojo, was even more surprised by the boldness of this colleague he admired.Even he himself was completely unaware of this so-called plan.Looking up, he found that Emperor Hirohito was looking straight at him. As the next Minister of War, Seishiro Itagaki could only cough twice, and then he said bravely.

"Your Majesty, Tojo-kun's thoughts are exactly the adjustments made by our Ministry of War to address the recent inadequacies in China's strategy. This is just one of the thoughts. The enemy we encountered this time is unprecedented, and our Ministry of War has lost 4 divisions, and finally figured out the situation of the enemy in front of us.

This is the information that Hata Junroku sent back to the base camp before committing suicide. It clearly states that our cannons are not at the same level as our opponents this time. On the southern battlefield, our artillery wing had almost no achievements.

This is fragments of local artillery shells collected by the 6th Division, and feedback from the 22nd Division on the effects of shelling.We can find that our opponents can find our artillery position within 10 minutes, even if they only fire one artillery battle, they cannot escape, and the enemy's artillery fire is quite dense, and the artillery fire fired per unit area is 10 times that of ours. above.

And they have many advanced shelling technologies, such as those small steel balls in the fragments. It is understood that this is a technology recently proposed by the West specifically for infantry.Haven't heard of anyone using it yet, but our enemies have. "

"Is it the Soviet Union in the north?"

"It shouldn't be all. According to the recent news from Manchuria, the Soviet Union in the north has no power to expand to Manchuria. According to the information brought by Lishukov who recently defected to Manchuria, the strength of the Soviet Army in the Far East is not as strong as before. Most of the command cadres at all levels have been purged by the Soviets themselves, and the morale within the army is unstable.

Moreover, the equipment of these units has not changed much, at least there is no chariot sent back by the 106th Division. However, we can see from the intelligence of the Manchurian Soviet Special Operations Team that was just sent back a few days ago, Part of the equipment of the Soviet army is indeed somewhat similar to the enemies we encountered in Puhai. They all use automatic rifles that are popularized on a large scale as the main infantry firepower.Therefore, it can be seen here that these enemy forces in Puhai who call themselves the Workers' Party should have connections with the Soviet Union in the north.

In addition, we have also received information from Germany that some of the equipment data we have collected is related to some research in Germany, Fairy, so we suspect that this is the work of relevant organizations of the Industrial International International lurking in Germany.

In connection with the remarks made by the Workers' Party in Puhai, we have reason to believe that they are actually the Industrial International under the leadership of the Soviet Union equipped the Chinese Workers' Party with various advanced weapons collected from the West and some weapons provided by the Soviet Union. composed of personnel.

Let’s get back to the fact that at the beginning of this year, the Industrial International expressed dissatisfaction with the Maoists of the current Chinese Workers’ Party, and also expressed concern about our China campaign, and publicly supported the Chinese people’s resistance to our liberation.And gave the current China government large-scale assistance.

In addition, the top leader of the Industrial International to the Chinese Communist Party left and disappeared from our intelligence network. We have reason to suspect that his departure was to receive this overseas armed force.

The essence of this armed force should be the lackeys of the Soviet Union, a typical example of the Soviet Union's export of revolution, and it is more likely that the Soviet Union will review all kinds of weapons and equipment technology plagiarized from Western countries.On this point, we have protested to countries such as Britain, France, the United States, and Germany, and asked them to cut off support to the Chinese. In this regard, the Germans have given us a clear answer. Lots of latent Labor. "

"Itagaki, have these speculations been confirmed?"

As the silent Emperor Hirohito asked another question, Itagaki Seishiro nodded to confirm this statement after glancing back at Tojo's poker-like face.

"In this case, I approve the request of the Ministry of War to make up for the loss of troops in advance. The existing domestic reserves are used to rebuild the divisions that were shamelessly attacked by the Chinese. Please ask Prime Minister Konoe for the relevant funding gap. cooperate.

In addition, the loss of the Imperial Navy's Third Fleet also needs to be supplemented. If there is any difficulty, I can allocate part of it from the internal treasury. I also hope that everyone can explain more to the people. I believe that the people of our Great Japanese Empire are willing to serve the country. made a sacrifice.

I also agreed to the 200 billion ri bond issuance matter proposed by the cabinet a few days ago.In addition, please speed up the mobilization of resources in North Korea, Manchuria, and North China. If possible, please cooperate with the admirals of the Ministry of the Navy. "

"Your Majesty, is the Guangdong strategy and Hainan strategy that our Imperial Navy is currently preparing to continue?"

"Your Majesty, I think the Guangdong strategy and the Hainan strategy should continue. The Hainan strategy is a strike against the possible overseas supply bases of the Puhai enemy, and the Guangdong strategy can cut off the supply channel from Hong Kong to the interior of China. I think it's all necessary.

What we need to adjust is the now enlarged Central China strategy. According to the current situation, our military strength is not enough to maintain the occupation of the entire Central China. The defense line is set on the front line of Shandong and Shanxi, which is the front line capability that our existing army strength can maintain.

Now, the forces of Manchuria and North Korea, which have been restricted by the Soviet Union, should play their role. When the Soviet Union is at its weakest, it can completely take the Far East and Outer Mongolia, and finally push our army to the northwest rear of the Chinese people, completely cutting off the The Far East Railway of the Soviet Union and the passage of aid to the Chinese people.

Only in this way can we attack the current fragile alliance of the Chinese people inward, cut off all sources of foreign aid for the Chinese people outward, and finally force the current Chinese government to completely surrender to our Great Japanese Empire and realize the mainland dream of our empire. "

"Yu Yuanqing, has your Ministry of Foreign Affairs also confirmed the judgment of the Ministry of War on the international situation?"

At this time, Ugaki Kazunari, who always thought he was just coming to listen, suddenly woke up and found that everyone was looking at him.Quickly coughed a few times and stood up to answer the emperor's question.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has indeed received a note from the German side, informing us that we have reached preliminary results on the question we raised, and indeed discovered the question we raised.

In addition, our diplomats in the Soviet Union have also reported that the current domestic situation in the Soviet Union is unstable. The former top leader of the Far East, Rushikov, has indeed defected. The purges within the military have resulted in the death or exile of nearly a million people, and we believe that the Soviet Union has now lost effective control in the military, and its level of warfare technology is far below our original expectations.

In the end, we also sent civilians to visit the current government officials in China, and found that the number of people in China's government who were optimistic about our liberation accounted for a large proportion, whether it was Mr. Wang, Mr. Chen of China's government or ours. My good friend, Mr. Zhou, expressed his willingness to communicate with the Chinese government for us, so as to urge the current supreme leader of the Chinese government, Jiang Kaishen, to agree to completely surrender our great Japanese empire.

Therefore, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs supports the Ministry of the Army's recent strategy for China that should be based on internal disintegration and agent support, and continue to consolidate the occupied areas in North China and Central China in preparation for the complete occupation of China. "

"That is to say, the cabinet and the Ministry of War have unified opinions on the strategy proposed by Tojo-kun? What does the Ministry of the Navy think?"

"Your Majesty, our Admiralty still believes that the United States is our last and greatest enemy. Therefore, we hope that in the process of advancing China's strategy, the improvement of the navy's strength cannot be ignored, so we hope to continue to strengthen the design and construction of various naval combat ships.

In addition, the China area lacks oil, rubber and other resources after all, so I hope to ask the cabinet to initiate an investigation on the oil and rubber resources in the South China Sea. Moreover, the surrounding areas of the South China Sea have always been the largest source of foreign aid for the Chinese. By using troops in the boy area, we can Effectively control the foreign aid acquisition channels of the Chinese government, and solve the empire's lack of oil and rubber resources. "

As a firm supporter of the Ministry of the Navy's southward strategy, Mitsumasa Minai certainly would not give up his idea just because the Ministry of the Army wanted to go north.Seeing the opportunity, he immediately threw out the long-discussed plan of the Admiralty.Of course, this must have caused a backlash from the War Department.

"Minei-kun, our big Japanese empire is not suitable to turn against the Western countries now. If we don't win China, we won't have that manager, nor will we have that strength."

"Your Excellency Konoe, the material resources that China has are also available around the boy. Now the western countries have no time to take care of the South China Sea. The European continent is full of war clouds. With the Germans, there is no Jing force to manage the British and French white animals.

And our biggest and most likely enemy is the United States, but everyone knows that the United States is a conservative country that only wants to do business. Except for the Philippines and a few small islands, the South China Sea does not have their interests. Just touch it and you'll be fine. "

"Okay, there is no need to argue anymore. I have decided that the next phase of the strategic direction will be formulated by the Ministry of War to advance northward. As for the South China Sea, it is better to wait for the war in Europe to start. It is not appropriate to touch it now. The Ministry of the Navy will build ships. The demand is fully guaranteed by the cabinet, and the source of materials and funds is realized through the further development of North Korea, Manchuria, and China. The northward strategy is also an early guarantee for the future South China Sea strategy.

So the next step is to ask the headquarters of the Ministry of the Army to make a full-authority plan and report it.That concludes today's meeting. "

After saying this, Emperor Hirohito, who was already a little tired, signaled the general manager to help him up, and then left the conference room regardless, leaving the cabinet and the big bosses of various departments on the spot to let them quarrel.
