Zhang Tuohai not only spent money among the people in search of wealth, but also targeted the imperial palace.

He took out all the gold, jewelry, and cultural relics that he had collected from the palace over the years and sent them to the mainland in exchange for various luxury goods for his own enjoyment.

The royal family's hundreds of years of accumulation were completely destroyed by him in a few months.

After vacating the palace, he turned his attention to domestic museums, libraries, exhibition halls, and private collections.

He directly plundered all the things that could be collected and brought them to the mainland in exchange for various supplies to support his eastward and southward war.

Zhang Tuohai's goal is to hollow out Japan. Even after the war, what will be left behind is only a very poor Japan.

The recruitment of one million soldiers ended soon. After a month of simple training, these new recruits were sent to Southeast Asia to maintain security. As for the veterans who had fought in Southeast Asia, they were sent to the battlefield in the United States.

At this time, the industrial machinery in the United States is fully operational.

A large number of artillery and tanks were manufactured.

Groups of new recruits drove tanks and pulled artillery to the front line.

There are also a large number of aircraft accompanying the team.

The mighty troops formed a front that stretched thousands of miles, blocking the Japanese army on the west coast, unable to advance or retreat.

The Japanese Army wants to attack, but as soon as they leave the range of the naval guns, they will be covered by the American artillery.

Due to the lack of armor and artillery cover, it is difficult for them to break through the fire network composed of artillery and tanks.

Every attack will result in heavy losses.

However, because the U.S. warships have not yet been completed, the U.S. cannot break through the Japanese naval guns and drive the Japanese troops away from the mainland.

The two sides reached a stalemate on the coast.

The angry Japanese army could only vent their anger on the coastal cities, destroying the cities on the west coast of the United States one by one, and then burning them down.

The hatred between the two sides has become more and more profound and can no longer be resolved.

After Zhang Tuohai found out, he was very happy and drank an extra bowl of wine for dinner to celebrate.

Zhang Tuohai was very happy, but the Minister of War was very unhappy.

The Secretary of War was very angry about the setback of the west coast offensive. He believed that he had betrayed His Majesty's trust and failed to complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty.

One million troops have been recruited, but they are still wandering on the west coast, unable to make any progress.

He could only survive within the range of the naval guns, which made the Lord of the Admiralty laugh at him several times, and he couldn't tolerate it.

He thought about what the problem was, and after much thought, he felt that the power in his hands was not strong enough.

If the power in his hands is strong enough, and with the bravery of his soldiers, he will definitely be able to break through the American defenses and enter the interior.

After much deliberation, the Minister of War entered the palace late at night.

"Your Majesty, for the current plan, there is only one feasible way to break through the defenses on the west coast, and that is to expand the army."

The Minister of War lowered his head and said.

Hearing the Army Minister's words, Zhang Tuohai almost laughed out loud.

He hadn't thought about how to continue being a monster, but he didn't expect that the Minister of War would come to his door.

"How many troops do you want to recruit?"

Zhang Tuohai asked calmly.

"Fifty, no, three hundred thousand, as long as you give me three hundred thousand, I will definitely be able to break through the barrier and enter the interior of the United States."

"Three hundred thousand?" Zhang Tuohai shook his head.

"As expected, it still doesn't work?" The Minister of War lowered his head in disappointment.

He also knows that 300,000 yuan is really difficult.

"You are so petty. Three hundred thousand is enough for what you can do. I will give you three million!"

Zhang Tuohai stretched out three fingers and said with a smile.

"Nani?" The Minister of War suspected that he had heard wrongly, "Three, three million?"

"That's right, it's three million. Moreover, this is only the number of conscripts specifically for the war against America. For Australia, another three million will be added. For India, it will also be three million. A total of nine million. How about it? Is it enough?

?"

Zhang Tuohai waved his hand and said loudly.

"Nine, nine million!" The Minister of War was completely stunned.

There are only 100 million people in Japan now. Even if there is an even split between men and women, the total number of men is only 50 million, including infants, young children and the elderly.

Nine million, which is almost all the young people in Japan.

However, if these people are removed, what will happen to factory production?

Do people still need to plant the farmland?

Who will maintain law and order?

The Minister of War's head was buzzing.

"This is simple, let women work in factories and farm, so that men can go to war."

"Now is a critical moment for the empire. Everyone must contribute their own strength to the empire."

"I have thought about it before. The reason why the empire is hesitating in the United States is mainly due to the lack of senior officers, which prevents the orders from above from being conveyed well to the following."

"The reason for this situation is the lack of high-quality personnel among military officers."

"So, I decided to recruit students from Dongda University to serve as military officers."

Zhang Tuohai’s words are striking.

"Moreover, not only Tokyo University, but all universities must recruit talents to join the military."

"Not only students, but teachers also need to attend."

"All citizens must contribute their strength to the empire."

"Those who disobey will be treated as prisoners of war and sent to prisoner-of-war camps."

Zhang Tuohai said coldly.

"Hi." The Minister of War felt not joy at this time, but fear.

He felt scared, afraid that Zhang Tuohai would drag the entire empire into the abyss.

If Zhang Tuohai's words are followed, once the entire empire loses, I'm afraid there will never be the capital to recover the capital.

However, he did not dare to disobey Zhang Tuohai's will.

If he shows hesitation, the military police will arrest him the next day and throw him into a prisoner of war camp.

Several ministers have already set an example for him. The whole family has entered a prisoner-of-war camp, and he will not foolishly challenge Zhang Tuohai's authority again.

I can only grit my teeth and obey.

The draft order was issued to the school.

The principal looked at the cold military police and knew that it could not be changed, so he quickly issued an order to conduct an emergency examination.

All those who fail the exam will be transferred to serve.

The students at Dongda University were confused. They had heard the saying that knowledge determines destiny, but they did not expect it to be realized in this way.

If you fail the exam, you will go to the battlefield.

Everyone gave 120% of their efforts.

I’m afraid I won’t score enough.

The teachers also tried their best to make the papers as simple as possible, so that everyone can pass.

Because most people have exceeded the passing mark, this leads to insufficient number of people.

The military policeman glanced at the principal, and with a stroke of his pen, he drew the lines in proportion from back to front. All those with good grades and below were issued conscription notices and must report within three days, otherwise, the whole family will enter a prisoner of war camp.

There was no other way, these Dongda students took the draft notice and entered the army.
