Chapter 1547 Indian Ocean Raiders

In the past, the Japanese army became weaker and weaker as it fought, while the Chinese army became stronger and stronger.China's huge population base has also become a strategic advantage. It continuously consumes Japan's reserve reserves, so that when the United States and the Soviet Union joined the two fierce fighters, the Japanese army was already empty to be the second strongest army, but only A group of old, weak and remnant soldiers will be defeated with one blow.Now, however, this situation has changed because of the joining of the "***** Army".In that time and space, although the Korean and puppet troops entered China to fight, their scale was very small and their role was quite negligible.Now, the Tokyo base camp is promoting the tactics of "containing China with China", and Neiji Okamura, who has a deep research on this issue, is in charge of this matter.

From the first North Korean puppet army entering Quzhou in April, to the end of June when a whole Korean puppet army entered Taiwan, the Xuebing army encountered crazy attacks from the two North Korean devils on multiple fronts. It took almost a year to acquire the strategy The advantage is almost exhausted.

On July 7, at an arsenal in Nagoya, King Hiroshi Fushimi, Mitsumasa Yonei, Yamamoto 23, Hideki Tojo and others, accompanied by Toshiichiro Koizumi, were visiting the newly established 56-type semi-automatic rifle production line.Toshiichiro Koizumi was at the front. He explained the production process of the Type [-] semi-automatic rifle in detail, and finally said: "Generals, if you are interested, you can try its power yourself. Although it is inferior to the Weiqing assault rifle of the Xuebing Army Some, but it can definitely rank among the most advanced rifles in the world."

"What? Isn't such an advanced gun inferior to the Wei Qing style of the Chinese?" Hideki Tojo shouted.

Koizumi Toshiichiro said ashamedly: "Your Excellency, there is no way to do this. Our overall casting technology is not as good as that of the Xuebing Army. However, in terms of effective shooting distance, our [-]th style is worse than the Weiqing style."

Yamamoto 56 said: "Tojo-kun, you can be content. This is much more advanced than the [-]th style."

Tojo: "However, I always hope that my own things are the best so that I feel the most comfortable."

"We started late, but as weapons research and development take shape, we will have a steady stream of new weapons delivered to the front-line combat troops. Type [-], I regard it as a transitional product."

King Fushimi Gong Hiroshi said: "Koizumi-kun, it's really hard work for you. Tojo, don't stand and talk without back pain. How long did it take to develop the [-]th type? How much time did the [-]th type take? Do you know that for this rifle , Did Koizumi-kun put in a lot of hard work? Let's go, let's try the power of this gun."

Fierce gunshots rang out in the shooting room, and King Fushimi Miyahiro Kyo and Tojo Hideki each held a 1-style in their hands and fought happily.At the door of the shooting room, Mitsumasa Yonei said to Toshiichiro Koizumi: "Koizumi-kun, I heard that Type Zero has been put into production. Then, when will the Type [-] special tank be ready?"

Yamamoto 56 looked at Koizumi with a "loving" face, and continued: "All the research and development tasks fall on Koizumi-kun's shoulders, which makes me really unbearable. But for the great cause of the empire, I can only wrong you."

Koizumi smiled and said: "Your Excellency Yamamoto, I am still young, so there is no problem. Your Excellency Prime Minister, the prototype of Type 1 has been produced, and it will be put into production in September at the latest. However, I think the most urgent task is not the production of new weapons, but the production of new weapons." It is to implement the Indian Ocean Raiders as soon as possible.”

The existence of Koizumi is definitely a catastrophe, not only for the cadet army, but also for the United States and even the whole world.The United States has imposed an embargo on Japan, because Japan's dependence on American oil is as high as 80%, so the biggest crisis facing Japan now is not the backwardness of weapons and equipment, but the need to find new sources of oil supplies as soon as possible.In this matter, the Tokyo base camp was once divided into two factions. Among them, the Army demanded to launch the Pacific War and directly attack the United States in order to seek the American colonies in Southeast Asia; while the Navy was obsessed with launching the Indian Ocean Raider because of Koizumi’s suggestion. Dutch East Indies.

Japan's decisive alliance with Germany and Italy has this consideration in it.The two parties even agreed that once Germany began to attack the Netherlands, Japan would decisively send troops to the Dutch East Indies.Germany blitzed the Netherlands and Belgium in May. Japan intended to organize an expeditionary fleet to attack the Dutch East Indies. However, because the British and American colonies stood in the way, and the Marine Corps had not yet been established, Koizumi suggested that Indonesia should be launched in the Dutch East Indies first. One stands on one's own feet, and then bides his time.

At the end of June, the first, second, and second armies of the Marine Corps had been established. Among them, the first army participated in Taiwan's counterattack and accumulated certain actual combat experience.With the defeat and surrender of France, Koizumi felt that the time was ripe to take French Indochina first, and then directly skip the British and American colonies and enter the Dutch East Indies.

Minai Mitsumasa: "I tend to solve the Taiwan issue first. Yamamoto, what do you think?"

"Yes, yes, Taiwan is the mainland of the empire. It would be disrespectful for the imperial army to send troops to the Indian Ocean if the local worries are not resolved. Moreover, if it goes to war with the United States, Taiwan may become the pre-base of the US Pacific Fleet. The mainland is a great threat," Hideki Tojo interjected when he walked to the door at some point.

Yamamoto: "I agree with Koizumi's opinion. If the French Indochina and the Dutch East Indies can obtain these two rubber and oil resource production areas, then there is no need to worry about the lack of strategic resources. Moreover, they can also Obtain a large number of people to form a coercion army."

Hideki Tojo was given the nickname "Second Class Soldier", referring to his bravery and lack of strategy.For Koizumi Toshiichiro, Tojo Hideki was quite resentful at the beginning, and even thought that the reason why the navy was able to overwhelm the army was because he was a hindrance.But now, after seeing Koizumi's talent in military engineering several times, the old devil looks at him with admiration, and even becomes a little superstitious. "Is this Koizumi-kun's idea? Since it is Koizumi-kun's suggestion, I think we should think carefully about it," he said, pushing his glasses, looking at Koizumi's eyes as if looking at his own son-in-law.

Koizumi nodded and said: "Before the new aircraft carrier has formed a combat capability, it is really inappropriate to go to war with the United States. As long as we can capture the French Indochina and the Dutch East Indies, we can complete a series of combat readiness modification plans. Not only In this way, with the large populations in these two places, our '***** Army' will receive continuous supplies of troops. At that time, we may even consider opening a new front in Vietnam to attack China."

"Great! It's the same as I thought!" Hideki Tojo gave a thumbs up.

Yamamoto smiled.Minai Mitsumasa glanced at Tojo, his eyes finally fell on Koizumi's face, and asked: "But what if the United States insists on obstructing it? Southeast Asia has always been regarded as the back garden of European powers. We attacked French Indochina and the Netherlands. If it belongs to the East India, the Anglo-American colonies are equivalent to being encircled by our army, will Britain and the United States allow this situation to come forward?"

"I don't think the United States will rashly declare war on me. Moreover, Germany and the United Kingdom are at war. Even if the United States intends to do something in Southeast Asia, I am afraid it does not have the guts. While Germany is attracting the attention of Britain and the United States , we happen to be able to do things cheaply!"

As soon as Koizumi finished speaking, Tojo Hideki shouted: "I agree with Koizumi-kun's statement! Let's decide like this!"

Minai Mitsumasa and Yamamoto 56 looked at each other, gritted their teeth and said, "Then, let's start the Indian Ocean strategy!"
