In Tokyo, Japan, the imperial meeting in the Emperor Palace was silent. The dark conference room and the cold expressions of those senior officials made this silence suffocating.

"Hashi Shunruo has issued a call for his Majesty. He is willing to bear the responsibility of losing the second-tier position and losing 50,000 elite imperial troops..." Miyain Miyato's voice was a little hoarse, and the voice sounded more like it was filled with throat.

The sound of two iron sheets rubbing out is just like that.

Hata Shunji's defeat in Shanghai caused great shock to the Japanese mainland. They began to worry whether the National Defense Forces would also carry out such an attack on the Korean battlefield.

If they choose to do this, the Empire is likely to face a direct attack from the Defense Forces!

This is completely unacceptable for Japan. If they are bombed by the National Defense Forces, it will be a great contusion for the Japanese mainland.

"Of course, His Majesty's Holy Resolution is His Majesty's Holy Resolution. But what we need to note is how the National Defense Forces figure out our firepower arrangements." Ishihara Kanji paused at everyone and said, "This is for the Empire.

, the most critical thing."

"If you don't figure this out, the Empire is likely to be attacked by the National Defense Forces from North Korea. This is the deadliest!"

At this time, Hideki Tojo, who was the prime minister, spoke. He looked at Ishihara coldly and snorted: "You don't have to worry about this. First of all, the fortifications of the empire in North Korea were not built in a hurry like Shanghai, so it is solid.

The firepower ratio is completely disproportionate to the fortifications in Shanghai."

"Secondly, for the sake of the security of the empire, North Korea has already deployed a large number of new fighter jets on a large scale. These fighter jets have already curbed the Chinese air force in actual combat." Tojo Hideki looked at Ishihara and said arrogantly:

"So. We don't have to worry about the situation in North Korea at all. Handling the war in Shanghai is the top priority."

Lieutenant General Santotaro frowned and said, "There has been a huge defense loophole in the Shanghai Battle. Until now, Hata Shunrok still has not figured out how the National Defense Force broke through the position. This is the most deadly thing.

Yes. Temporary failure is not scary. What is scary is that you don’t know how you failed or why you failed."

The Prime Minister was very dissatisfied with the army. In one sentence, the army generals including Miyagi Miyagi, Prime Minister Hideki Tojo and Kanir Ishihara showed displeasure.

"Stay in the mountains, be careful!" The leader of the navy, Fushimiya Hirokyo, coughed, and saved the siege of Lieutenant General Tokuta who was silent.

"Your Excellency Xianyuangu, although living in the mountain is not nice, what he said is true." Fushimi Miyamiya Hiroko blamed Hirokazu and turned toward Xianyuangu and others and said, "We need to know the defense army in the end

How to attack. If you don’t understand this, no matter how much troops you invest, it will be in vain.”

Several people did not say anything, Ishihara smiled at everyone and sighed: "Your Highness, Prince Fushimigu, you should know that the failure of this battle is not due to General Hata Shunroku's improper command."

"In fact, the loss of the second-tier position seems inevitable in my opinion." Ishihara Kanji said to everyone: "We have no air support, and our artillery has been severely suppressed."

"The other party even has advanced chariots to help with the war, even the most ordinary submachine gun is better than us." After a pause, Ishihara smiled: "Under this situation, even if the other party's commander is not very smart, as long as he keeps going

Test our firepower and find out the firepower points to destroy them one by one. We will eventually lose our position..."

"Those firepower points are immovable and will be discovered. Once the firepower points are exposed, I don't need to say anything." Ishihara Kaner looked at Fushimijimiya and bowed his head, "This battle is not a battle."

crime."

Zairen of Xianyuan Miya did not speak, he was waiting for Fushimiji's attitude. There is no doubt that Fushimiji's attitude was the attitude of the navy. Now the army cannot give Shanghai too much support.

They need the assistance of the Navy. Although it has been discussed before, the premature loss of the second-tier position now seems to have repeated performances on the Navy.

"Our Navy needs 50% of the resources back from Southeast Asia." After closing his eyes and resting for a while, Fushimigu suddenly spoke. He was raising the price, and it depends on how the Xianyuangu should deal with it.

"Fifty percent is definitely not possible." Xianyuangong shook his head: "Machines, daily consumption, will consume at least 30% of the supplies. If the Navy takes another 50%, then the remaining 20% ​​of our country is probably even Southeast Asia.

It can't be saved."

The materials were captured by the Army, and if they did not obtain their consent, the distribution would become a big problem. Now the Army is forced to the corner and has to seek help from the Navy.

Of course, I will not miss this good opportunity. He will try his best to win the benefits for the navy.

"The highest is 35% and we can't afford it no matter how high it is." Xianyuanmiya calculated and the equal distribution was his bargaining. Unfortunately, Fushimiya didn't take his set.

"45% of this is my bottom line." Fushimimiya did not give in at all and said, "The Navy still needs to prepare for war against the United States and war against Australia. These are extremely resource-consuming.

I hope the Army can understand.”

Seeing what else to say in the Xianyuan Palace, Fushimi Hakuyoshi waved his hand and said, "Your Excellency Xianyuan Palace, don't say anything more. I said this is my bottom line. The Navy needs more resources to prevent the Americans from coming.

Revenge, and we are now at most a year. Do you think we can defend against the Americans' counterattack without the allocation of resources?!"

"Without your army, you can't go to the sea to fight with American warships, right?" Fushimimiya looked at Miyagi Hashihito and said, "For the sake of the security of Japan, the navy must strengthen the construction of warships."

Yamato and Musashi now need more resources to inject. Once they form combat power, they can ensure that our empire is safe!"

After saying this, what else can the Xianyuan Palace say?! The subtext of Fushimi Palace is very clear. The resources the Navy needs now are to protect the use of Japan.

If the Army Department gives it, then he doesn't mind going to Hirohito to talk about the issue of the army's combat effectiveness and naval resources allocation. This matter was put on Hirohito's place. The Immortal Palace would definitely not be able to make any mistakes.

Hirohito’s request is very simple, he needs to see victory. Most of Japan’s current victory comes from the navy. This time the army failed again. Everyone knows Hirohito’s attitude.

The Ichimura even suspected that the reason why Fushimigu dared to be so aggressive may not be without Hirohito's shadow. Perhaps the Emperor, who seemed to ignore everything, was already very dissatisfied with the Army's performance in China.

Perhaps he was taking advantage of this opportunity to hit the army. It is even possible that Hirohito had been persuaded by the Navy and chose to give up the Chinese battlefield and turn his attention to Southeast Asia, which has abundant resources and no resistance.

"Okay..." After being silent for a long time, Xianyuan Palace finally sighed. He didn't have too many choices, either accepting the conditions of Fushimi Palace or watching Shanghai being directly recovered by the National Defense Force.

The latter is obviously unacceptable to the Army. Under such conditions, they can only choose to accept the conditions of the Navy. Moreover, the conditions of the Navy are not so harsh, at least the Army still retains 25% of the resource allocation.

If you deduct a little from the local area, it is not difficult to have 30% of the resources to supply the Army's own consumption. Don't forget. The current Prime Minister is Hideki Tojo, who was born in the Army.

How to deduct resources from the gaps between the local teeth to supplement the army? The staff will naturally find a way to solve this problem. As long as they are not done too much, the Navy will not say more about this matter.

The Imperial Conference ended here. Fushimi Miyagi Hakukyu took Hatsune and smiled out of the conference room. The remaining army officers returned to the army's own office with ugly faces.

They need to coordinate and allocate personnel and weapons to support Shinro Hata who is fighting hard in Shanghai.

"Old Master Xianyuangong, don't forget our agreement." When walking out of the conference room, Fushimi Miyagi Hakukong suddenly said to Xianyuangong Zairen: "If there is a problem in Shanghai, then give up the battle in China.

!For the time being, Southeast Asia is more important to the empire.”

Listening to Fushimigu's words, Xianyuangu was more and more sure that the Navy must have been in Hirohito's relationship. Without Hirohito's consent, how could the Navy dare to oppress the Army so unscrupulously?!

In the office of the Ichiyuan Palace, Ishihara Kanir, who is the confidant, is left.

"Your Highness's concern is correct. I believe that even if His Majesty does not have such a statement, he has made some hints to the navy." Ishihara Kanir had actually realized that something was wrong with the navy.

But he didn't say it out loud. This kind of thing involved the royal family. Even if Ishihara Kan'er was the confidant of the Immortal Palace, it would not be easy to say it out of his mouth.

I can only let the Immortal Palace discover it by myself. As for whether Immortal Palace will discuss it with him after discovering it, this is not within the scope of Ishihara Kaner's consideration.

"According to the subordinate's opinion, this matter is likely to be the advice of the Joint Fleet Commander Marshal Igoroku and Fushimi Palace to His Majesty together." Ishihara Smiley and said, "Otherwise, it's just Fushimi.

Your Majesty would not have made such a hint if the palace highman…”

It has to be said that the success of the Pearl Harbor sneak attack greatly improved Yamamoto Iroku's status in the entire Japanese army and even Japan. If he and Fushimimiya advised Hirohito together, it would be normal for Hirohito to have some hints.

"Your Highness, Ishihara has something to say but I don't know if it's said..." Seeing the Xianyuan Palace falling into deep thought, Ishihara hesitated for a moment and said. The Xianyuan Palace waved without looking up.

"Your Highness, according to the current situation, Shanghai probably can't hold on..." Although he was unwilling to admit this situation, Ishihara Kanir still had to face this reality.

If you face it earlier, the army will suffer less losses.

"The Navy originally hoped that we would draw troops from Shanghai, which means they would provide us with support as agreed. But these support must be limited..." Ishihara Kanir sighed helplessly: "The fighter jets belonging to our army are now

It has not yet reached the level of mass production, and Shanghai's limited support is definitely unable to withstand the attack of the National Defense Force..."

"Now the National Defense Forces have found a way to break the position. Even if Shinroku Hata works hard, the Navy will not be able to support Shanghai for long." After a pause, Ishihara said: "Your Highness, we should prepare for the Southeast Asian theater as soon as possible..."

At the same time, MacArthur, who was in Australia, was shooting on the stage and hitting the stool.

"Damn it! Wait, wait, wait! The bureaucrats in Washington will only let me wait!!" After withdrawing from the Philippines, MacArthur was already in a crazy state.

He didn't want to counterattack back all the time. He wanted those damn Japanese to pay the price. Unfortunately, Britain is now in danger, and the United States' war policy is to start with Europe and then Asia.

In the White House's view, Europe is the fundamental, Asia is secondary. Besides, no matter how difficult it is, Asia is at least a defense force can hold on. As long as the defense force can support the United States and win Europe, then Asia's Japan is just a catfish on the chopping board.

"General, this is an order from Washington..." the adjutant comforted him. He knew that MacArthur was feeling uncomfortable. Especially when the information from the National Defense Forces came from the information, the captured US troops were sent to the mining area to start mining.

According to conservative estimates, at least fifty to one hundred people were buried in the mines every month. Of course, MacArthur would not be sorry for these things. He was angry simply for the shame the Japanese gave him.

"I can't wait!" MacArthur took a deep breath and said, "Go to the telegram to ask the tiger, when will he launch a battle against Southeast Asia?! If he is not going to do this, then I will do it.

Come and do it!"

The adjutant smiled and must have been. But after he went down, he did not send such a strong telegram. Instead, he sent MacArthur's meaning to China in a tactful way.

Tuhuo didn't have time to pay attention to MacArthur's thoughts. After receiving the telegram, he only took a look and handed over it to Joseph Warren Stilwell, the special envoy of the US President who was sent to China to coordinate the war.

Stilwell couldn't help but smile bitterly when he got the telegram to kill the tiger. It was not that he had contacted MacArthur. He knew that the general had a great arrogance.

Although this telegram reduced those words, the meaning revealed was obviously the commanding posture and meaning. Unfortunately, this tiger has never been a small country leader who is nervous about the United States.

He handed the telegram to himself. He was already very polite. Otherwise, he forwarded the telegram directly to the White House, then the only one who received the scolding was MacArthur.

Just three days ago, after coordinating China, the United States, Britain and the exiled Free France, the Netherlands and other governments had reached an agreement. They were divided into the Asia-Pacific War Zone, including Japan, and the highest person in charge of this war zone was to massacre tigers.

His military rank was promoted to marshal and was recognized by countries including the United States, Britain, France and the Netherlands. After negotiations, including Japan, Southeast Asia to India and other places, it was divided into the Asia-Pacific War Zone.

This area will be specifically responsible for the National Defense Forces, and their important task is to ensure that the Japanese army will not break through these barriers and enter the European theater of war.

The European theater is coordinated by both the United Kingdom and the United States. The newly formed American troops will go to the United Kingdom to assist in defense. At the same time, a large amount of materials and weapons will be transported from the North Atlantic to the United Kingdom, which is now preparing for war.

As an allies, the French government in exile, free France began to join the British team to assist them in defense under the organization of Charles de Gaulle.

This is their last position. If even the British mainland cannot defend it, then they can only retreat to the United States. The hope of winning will be even more slim...

"The Wehrmacht has shown their combat effectiveness, so I think the next step is to test our United States of America." In Marshall's office, a circle of generals stood solemnly.

Marshall lit the table with his hands and said, "We have failed in the Philippines, and Mike has retreated to Australia. Now Britain is in danger, and there is something we must guard."

"Your task now is to go to the UK to help them defend the British Isles! In any case, there cannot be any of them in the hands of the Germans!"
