Chapter 980 Manchuria

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Although the troops in Jiangsu cannot stop it now, there is definitely no problem with our troops in Manzhouli and troops in the Far East.

The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and it will take about 10 days. The weather in Manzhouli will be above zero degrees, and the ice there will be starting to melt. It is impossible for Chinese troops to advance to our side so quickly.

The only question now is when our troops in the Far East break through the Soviet troops' defense line, and when will the German troops continue to advance eastward?

If our troops can join forces with German troops before August, then we can still launch a battle against China. If we cannot join forces in August, then our battle against China, I am talking about the battle in the north, which may be postponed until April next year.

However, in the south, I think we can also start a counterattack. When our new aircraft and tanks are developed, we will be able to land in China in the southern coastal areas at any time!" Tojo Hideki stood there and spoke.

"Yo Xi!" The Emperor nodded when he heard this.

"But I think this is just our optimistic estimate, and it may actually be much more difficult." Mine Mitsumasa suddenly spoke, and after he finished speaking, everyone present looked at him.

"Your Majesty, there may be big things happening in Manzhouli and the Far East. According to what I know, Chinese troops may control the entire Manzhouli before Germany completely defeats the Soviet Union. If they control Manzhouli, it will be a huge disaster for the empire." Mine Mitsumasa said.

"Why do you say that?" the emperor asked looking at him, and the others stared at him, wanting to know why he said that.

"If the Chinese troops, Germany had completely defeated the Soviet Union, controlled Manzhouli, I would like to ask everyone here, you said, will Chinese troops attack our Far East troops, will they attack our Goryeo troops, and will they bomb our Japanese main island?

Have you ever thought about how much impact it would have on the empire if Chinese troops really wanted to attack these places?

Lord Lu, I would like to ask you, if Chinese troops control Manzhouli and start to dispatch bombers to bomb your Far East troops, although their army troops do not participate in the attack, I will assume that their army troops do not move, then can you still break through the Soviet defense line?

If Germany does not break through that defense line for a long time, it will take a lot of time for Germany to completely defeat the Soviet Union. At that time, the troops of our two countries will definitely be postponed until after August.

In winter, our troops in the Far East have no way to fight, but Chinese troops can do it. They are more south than us. At that time, they will definitely attack Goryeo and bomb our local area. They don’t even have to wait until after August, when they control Manzhouli, they will bomb our local area.

I would like to ask, have you considered what to do with the industries we have on the island, what to do with our people there, and what to do with our supplies to the Far East and America.

This island is not very important for us to deliver the empire in terms of national needs, but this place is our transit station for supplying the Americas and the Far East. This place is included in the bombing range by the Chinese Air Force, which will bring huge trouble to our empire's plans for the entire Far East and the American plans.

Therefore, I suggest that no matter how much the price it costs, we must stop China from attacking north. Now that China has controlled Fengtian, this is the last place China controls, and our troops can no longer retreat.

Moreover, on the Yalu River, we must also arrange enough troops to prevent Chinese troops from starting to attack Goryeo. At the same time, our island must also strengthen its defense, especially air defense, and we must arrange a large number of air wings there.

Only in this way can we ensure that our troops in the Far East and America can continue to fight!" Mine Mitsumasa sat there and said a lot.

He hopes to let those people understand that although many of them have left Japan Island, their strategic position there is very important. Once the Chinese air force bombs their Japan Island on a large scale, Japan's global strategy will have problems.

"Yoxi, the marine analysis is good. We cannot make any mistakes on our Japanese island. To ensure that there is no problem with our Japanese island, we must ensure the safety of the entire Manzhouli!" The emperor nodded with satisfaction when he heard this. The key now is the Manzhouli.

After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at Hideki Tojo. Now the troops in Manchuria are all army units. They want to block Chinese troops and their army units. He needs Hideki Tojo to stand up and speak.

"Your Majesty, it is too difficult for the imperial army to stop the Chinese army from moving forward in Manzhouli. We do not have air force to compete with the Chinese air force. Not only is the air force not good, but our armored troops cannot compete with the Chinese armored troops.

Now our troops are in great difficulty in resisting Manzhouli, with great casualties. Our army has done its best and sacrificed!" Hideki Tojo cannot guarantee that because he knows the strength of the Chinese army and air force.

At present, it is very difficult to hold back Chinese troops and not let Chinese troops attack their Far East troops. It is impossible for the Japanese army to completely block Chinese troops in Fengtian, and they do not have this ability.

"Well, when will our new aircraft be officially put into service and how much will it produce every day?" The emperor heard it and did not mean to blame Hideki Tojo, but asked about the new aircraft.

"The service has begun, but now the mass production is not enough. Now we produce new fighter jets every day, that is, our Type 16 fighter jets (1941, Japan's Showa 16), with a mass production of 10 aircraft, which is far from meeting our needs for a large number of troops. However, we can solve this problem soon!" said a minister in charge of Japan's weapons research and development.

"How many planes are there now?" the emperor continued to ask.

"There are now 320 aircraft, equipped with 5 Air Force Wings, and now our pilots are still adapting to the flight of those aircraft!" the person in charge said again.
