1374 After Okamura Yasuji sent a telegram to the emperor, he was thinking about the matter there. He was thinking about 1 billion Chinese currency, and Okamura Yasuji had a little distressed.

However, he thought that there were 3 million people who could survive, and he felt it was worth it, but whether it was worth it or not was he unable to decide. This matter still depends on the Emperor!

So, after the telegram was sent to the Emperor, Okamura Yasuji was waiting there, and he could only wait now. However, Hu Bin didn't want to wait. After all, if he had been out for a long time, the command center would be worried. If they checked it, they would not be able to explain it clearly.

Hu Bin didn't want to leave the handle in the hands of the United States. After all, the initiative is in his own hands now. Whether to fight or not is the final decision, it is up to you!

"I said, is Okamura Yanji okay? You sent a telegram to urge him and told him that I don't have time.

By the way, I told him that if I think 1 billion is expensive, I have another plan, which is 50 million Chinese coins a day, and I can buy them for 5 days at a time. I will send them to him. By the way, don’t shoot, leave two people here and contact them!" Hu Bin said and stood up.

"Okay!" Mo She nodded, and Hu Bin glanced at the Japanese, left and headed to the command center.

At this time, in Australia, the Japanese emperor received a telegram from Okamura Yasuji.

"Baga!" The Emperor was quite angry. Every time he saw the telegram from Hu Bin, he was either defeated or asked for money, so there was nothing good.

When the other cabinet ministers heard the Emperor cursing, they looked at him in discomfort. The Emperor asked the inner officials around him to read the telegram sent by Okamura Yasuji so that the ministers could know.

Hideki Tojo also heard it below. He knew that there was no better way for Okamura Neji, and Okamura Neji did this to save 3 million people in Japan. However, he could not say this because Okamura Neji was his subordinate and had to wait for other people to say it first.

If no one supports Okamura Yanji, then if he stands up, it will only make the Emperor disgusted with their army, while the people on the Navy are now looking at Hideki Tojo.

They were not happy. The officers on the Navy also knew what happened to Hu Bin. Hu Bin is very difficult to deal with. It was not the first time, so most of them were sympathetic.

"Everyone tell me, what should we do?" The Emperor sat on it and looked at the ministers below and said.

When the ministers heard it, look at me, look at you, no one wants to speak first, for fear of being attacked by others.

"Tell me, this matter is very anxious. I think Okamura Nishi must be waiting for news now!" The emperor said to the ministers below.

"Your Majesty, we don't have that much Chinese currency now, and it's a pity to use gold!" At this time, the Finance Minister stood up and spoke.

"This price is too high, and we cannot pay so much gold in China. This is equivalent to funding China's development. Now China's weapons and equipment are already very powerful. If we have the support of 1 billion gold, China will be even stronger in the future.

China is now strengthening education expenditures. In the Yan'an-controlled areas alone, 18 new universities were added last year, 22 vocational schools were added, more than 600 middle schools were added, and primary schools basically ensure the entire Yan'an-controlled areas, so children of appropriate age had to go to school.

If we give this money to China, it will be more difficult for us to deal with the future China. My opinion is not to give China money!” A minister stood up and spoke.

"Yes, if China gets this money, then China in the future will be stronger and our Japan will be more dangerous.

Your Majesty, don’t forget that our empire developed so fast at the time because we won the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and received compensation from China. In this way, all aspects of our empire ushered in tremendous development, which led to our powerful empire.

This time, Hu Bin asked for 1 billion Chinese coins. Although it was not as much as the Qing Dynasty had given us at the time, it was also a huge sum of money. Moreover, over the years, the losses we have in China far exceeded the amount of money we had compensated us at the time. So, please think twice!” Another minister also stood up and spoke.

"Your Majesty, we don't have to give this money to China at all, although we don't know how many troops we can retreat now.

However, even if Hu Bin was captured, those prisoners may be locked in the United States. We can exchange them with the Americans at that time. I think the Americans will exchange them with us, so we don’t have to spend money!" The ministers have discussed now, and they don’t want to spend money, especially for China!

However, the people from the Navy and the Army have never spoken. These two forces are the absolute power of Japan. What the ministers say is useless at all, and they still have to listen to the opinions of the Navy and the Army.

When the emperor heard what the ministers said, he thought it was right. However, he still had to listen to the Navy and the Army Minister, so he looked at Navy Minister Minumasa. He hoped to gain the support of the Navy Minister. In this way, the Army's request could be given up.

"Your Majesty, we need to talk to China. Now the troops in Alaska and the engineering and technical personnel are the most backbone forces in our empire, and we cannot lose these people.

However, 1 billion is indeed a bit too much. We can let General Okamura Nishiji continue to talk to Hu Bin to see if it can be cheaper!" Minuchi Mitsumasa said.

When Hideki Tojo heard this, he was a little surprised, but he did not look at Mine Mitsumasa. He knew why Mine Mitsumasa spoke for the army, because China now has a navy.

If their battle with the Chinese navy fails in the future, they also hope that the army can help them speak. Although the navy and the army have always been in conflict, they still need cooperation in the face of combat. For example, this retreat requires the cooperation of their navy.

When the Emperor heard Minumasa's words, he was silent. Japan was indeed unable to afford to lose 3 million young people. If these people were really captured, then Japan's middle power would be much less, and future plans would not be realized. The Emperor was still thinking about counterattacking China.

"Then we can't get 1 billion to China at once. Besides, the person we are talking to Okamura Nishiji is Hu Bin, and only Hu Bin can give us a advantage. When will we get a advantage when we negotiate with him?" The Finance Minister heard it and immediately retorted.

"Do you want to watch our empire lose 3 million young people? They are the strong support for our empire. Whether it is the army or the engineering personnel, they are the strong support and hope for the empire!

If it were 3 million women, we would definitely not save them, but most of these 3 million people are young and middle-aged people, and we must not help them!" Mine Mitsumasa said.

"Tojo-kun, what do you think over there?" The emperor did not say anything else, but looked at Tojo Hideki.

"One billion is indeed a bit too much, but we can't help but not save it. We originally wanted to retreat early, but we still acted late. Okamura Jun also reminded everyone before that if we want to retreat, the Americas cannot be defended. With Hu Bin here, we cannot be defended.

However, no one listened, and you all opposed it, but now we have missed the best time to retreat, and now we can only buy time with money. If you object, I have no objection.

I will let our senior officers retreat first. As for the others, we can retreat as much as we can. I cannot say much. After all, the main troops fighting in the Americas are our army. If our army suffers defeat in the Americas, I have no choice but to ask for anything!" Hideki Tojo stood there and spoke.

When the ministers heard Hideki Tojo's words, some of them were at a loss. Okamura Yasuji sent telegrams repeatedly and sent back, the troops needed to arrange retreats, and those factories also needed to arrange retreats.

These people in China all mocked Okamura Yasuji. Before he could fight, he thought about retreating. Now it was time to really need to retreat. They found that there was not much time for them to retreat.

"Your Majesty, we either give up most of the 3 million people, or give Hu Bin money and give us time! This is the only way now, and it must be fast. Once Hu Bin mobilizes the troops and prepares to attack, it will be too late to give us money!" Hideki Tojo stood there, bowing to the emperor and said.

"Well, they will come up with a plan today!" The emperor nodded and said.

He was a little reluctant to give up the 3 million people, and he was even more reluctant to give up 1 billion Chinese coins. However, there was not much time left for him, and he needed to make decisions as quickly as possible!

"Can Hu Bin say something reliable?" At this time, a minister asked.

"You don't have to doubt this. We didn't talk to Hu Bin once or twice. We talked many times, and they are basically very reliable!" Hideki Tojo said.

"What if this is unreliable? Hu Bin received our money and continued to attack, what can our empire do?" the minister continued to ask.

When he asked, Hideki Tojo had nothing to say. No one could guarantee this matter. The initiative was in Hu Bin's hands, and Hu Bin also led so many troops outside Alaska. Whether to fight or not is Hu Bin's final say.

"Your Majesty, I think we should be careful. We should not believe Hu Bin. He is a general in China. He hates us. The whole world knows this. I think we should not talk to Hu Bin!" The minister saw that Hideki Tojo did not speak, so he started to speak to the emperor.
