The Japanese side soon noticed the actions of the Sino-US coalition forces...

Although Japan's naval and air forces had suffered huge casualties at this time, they could not organize a counterattack, but they were not worth mentioning, especially submarine ships... The Japanese submarine ships can carry small reconnaissance aircraft, so they soon discovered that the Chinese team was advancing towards the Pacific in a planned manner.

"Do you think..." Hideki Tojo frowned and asked Ken Sato: "What is the intention of the Zhong** team's move?"

Before Sato Kenya answered, Sanada Shizuichiro rushed to answer: "Prime Minister, isn't the purpose of the Chinese team entering the Pacific Ocean very obvious?"

Sanada Suichiro and Sato Kenya are both one of the "Four Fools" of Hideki Tojo. At this time, he had just taken office as the first director of the General Staff Headquarters, so he was eager to show off in front of Hideki Tojo.

"It's obvious?" Hideki Tojo signaled Sanada Suichiro to continue to say.

"I have some research on Chiang!" Sanada Shizuichiro replied with some complacent words: "Cheng Chengfu is deep, has great ambitions, and has a strong desire for power... So the United States has been asking Chiang to send troops to the Pacific, but Chiang only sent a few troops!"

When Tojo Hideki heard this, he couldn't help but snorted: "It was these troops that made us quickly defeat the absolute defense circle of the Pacific War. Now we are about to fight to the Japanese mainland!"

Tojo Hideki was obviously angry and turned the topic aside. After realizing this, he said to Sanada Shiichiro: "Continue!"

"Yes!" Sanada Suichiro continued: "I think... the ultimate goal of the Sino-US coalition forces is Okinawa!"

“Okinawa?”

"Yes!" Sanada Yoichiro explained: "We know... the main forces of the US Navy and Army are entangled in the Philippines, which makes the US military unable to attack Okinawa. With the strengthening of Okinawa's defense and increasing strength, the Chinese troops in the Pacific are not strong enough to launch a powerful attack on Okinawa. So... they have only one way, which is to mobilize troops from China to achieve the goal of attacking the Philippines and Japan at the same time!"

"Yes!" Hideki Tojo nodded.

Sanada Yuichiro's statement is indeed very likely, because Okinawa is too important to Japan. Even if Okinawa is taken down by the enemy, the US fighter plane will be placed on Okinawa... Japan's connection with China and even North Korea will be difficult.

"I don't think the enemy's plan will be that simple!" Sato Ken frowned and said, "First of all, as Sanada Sato said, Chiang is a man with a strong desire for power and control. How could he suddenly send so many troops into the Pacific Ocean for Americans to command..."

"That's because of the threat from the Americans!" Sanada Yoichiro explained: "According to our intelligence, the United States is urgently training the army of 30 divisions in Yunnan, China. Americans can use this as a exchange to ask Chiang to send troops!"

The Japanese army has spies everywhere in China, and there are even spies who have been bribed by the Japanese army within the *** state. It is said that there are many so-called "patriots" like Wang Jingwei and others who are called "curve-save the country"...

This type of "patriots" have a speechless view. They believe that China will lose the battle with Japan, and put forward a lot of data and theories to prove it. Then... under this premise, resistance becomes meaningless sacrifice, and surrender can truly save the people from water and fire. Therefore, this is the real and realistic way of patriotism.

This theory of "save the country through curves" is obviously a fallacy, because everything is based on a completely untrue assumption, which is that "China will definitely fail."

From ancient times to the present, no theory is based on assumptions, and arguments are always to present facts and reason. Taking assumptions as facts as arguments is a fundamental and low-level mistake. What’s ridiculous is that on modern Internet, there are still many people who think that this theory of “save the country through curves” is reasonable…

Because of these "patriots", the Japanese army had very detailed grasp of **'s every move and deployment of troops, which was one of the reasons why the Japanese army launched the "No. 1" operation so smoothly.

"So... why did the Chinese choose to send troops at this time?" Sato Ken asked: "The military aid plan for the Americans to equip China's thirty divisions has long been implemented. If this was the exchange condition, the Chinese should have sent troops long ago. What's strange is... they actually sent troops when we launched the No. 1 plan to fight them everywhere. You must know that this is when China urgently needs troops to use troops, don't you think it's strange?"

"This is also another idea of ​​mine!" Sanada Shizuichiro replied: "There is a plan among the thirty-six Chinese strategies called 'Embedding Wei to save Zhao', which means besieging Wei and forcing Wei to withdraw troops to achieve the goal of rescuing Zhao... Sato Jun is afraid that he also knows this allusion!"

Kenya Sato just snorted.

At this time, in order to achieve the purpose of invading China, most of the Japanese generals studied Chinese allusions and war history. Therefore, a considerable number of Japanese generals were "China Communication", which can also be said to be a kind of "knowing what we know."

Sanada Suichiro continued to talk: "What Chiang is doing now...is obviously this strategy. He knew that he could not compete with us on the frontal battlefield, so he adopted the strategy of "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao" and forced us to transfer our troops back to the local area or even retreat by attacking Okinawa and even rushing to Japan's mainland. In this way, the crisis in China will no longer exist!"

Listening to Sanada Suichiro's words, Hideki Tojo couldn't help but nodded slightly.

The current situation is just as Sanada Yoichiro said, Japan has to transfer troops from China to Japan. On the other hand, if the Sino-US coalition forces really advance to Japan, Hideki Tojo really doesn't know what to do...

Is it better to continue to turn the strategic focus to China at that time? Or should I bring the troops back to Japan's local defense?

Before the conditions are ripe, it is obvious that neither is a good choice.

So Hideki Tojo ordered: "Strengthen the defense of Okinawa and prepare for the battle!"

"yes!"

Kenya Sato still felt something was wrong in his heart, because he didn't believe that the Chinese team spent so much effort to "surround Wei and save Zhao". If Chiang was willing to do this, the Chinese troops in the Pacific would have been more than 50,000.

But Kenya Sato didn't know what the Chinese team wanted to do, so he didn't say anything else.
