"Do you know where he will appear? How many outstanding citizens are we prepared to lose?" The emperor hummed dissatisfied: "If he has more than this army, are we going to end in defeat?"
"Your Majesty, our commercial fleet has been attacked repeatedly in Nanyang, and now there is a Nanyang task force. I think it will be more beneficial to conquer Nanyang than to occupy China, and the resistance there will be much smaller." Waixing walked over, cunning.
Propose new plans.
The Emperor said with a gloomy face: "Where did the troops in Southeast Asia come from? Isn't it just a matter of death to attack Southeast Asia now?"
"Itagaki Seishiro is right, but Nanyang is more conducive to our attack." The foreign minister pointed to the map behind the emperor: "This is a vast sea area. If our attack is hit, the losses will be much smaller. It is more beneficial to us,
In this way, we can quickly find out who the enemy is and where they obtained this weapon. If the target is found, our navy will spare no effort to eradicate it, which will be the greatest boon to the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere!"
The words of the foreign minister were like a shot of stimulant, and all of a sudden the army, air force, navy officials, staff, headquarters and other generals nodded their heads. They admitted that the foreign minister's analysis was very reasonable, and it would be more advantageous to seize there for resource replenishment and expansion plans.
.
"I don't agree!"
Prime Minister Minoru Saito stood up and smiled coldly: "A war in Southeast Asia means a war with the British! The war with the British is very likely to develop into a war with the United Kingdom and the United States! The United States is extremely sensitive to the south, and may re-enter the war.
Mention the possibility of an oil embargo."
"Your Majesty Prime Minister, what can we buy from the United States now?" the Foreign Minister asked sarcastically.
"This -" Saito Minoru hesitated. The business and resources of the United States were almost shrouded by Hu Zhiyong, and they received very little share. The prices of things purchased from Hu Zhiyong tripled out of thin air.
Although Nanyang was rich in supplies, the missing merchant ships frightened all the merchants. They risked bankruptcy and did not dare to go to sea with a knife on their necks.
"We can use soldiers to pretend to be businessmen and go to Southeast Asia to conduct reconnaissance." Tojo Hideki said skillfully: "In one month, we will come up with the most feasible plan!"
"The northeastern part of China has become a useless piece of land!" the emperor sighed: "Facing Russia in the north, we have to guard it with heavy troops. The Jehol Army has attracted another 500,000 of our troops. If there is another war in North China and Shanghai, I am afraid that our people
They all have to serve as soldiers and carry guns!”
"Your Majesty, the situation is not so bad that it is out of control. Our troops should not act rashly and let's see what the Nanyang Task Force is going to do!" Prime Minister Saito Minoru said shrewdly: "The Navy should withdraw its aircraft carriers and warships to the open sea to prevent them from returning.
Make a surprise attack!"
"Report, the Nanyang Task Force is going to the northeast and threatens to wipe out all our troops around Rehe!" The intelligence officer hurriedly walked in and handed the telegram to Tojo Hideki.
"Your Majesty." Hideki Tojo read the message, and sweat suddenly dripped down his face.
"Telegram to the commander of the Kwantung Army, Ueda Kenkichi, that the troops retreat to the east of Shenyang and defend to the death. We cannot afford to lose 500,000 people!" The commander of the base camp hurriedly stepped forward to make suggestions.
"What should we do if they pursue us? Are we going to completely lose Manchukuo?" Itagaki Seishiro asked dissatisfied.
"This -" No one could answer, but they believed that if they did not retreat, they would have to launch an attack in advance. If the Nanyang Task Force and the Jehol Army merged together, they would not be able to withdraw from the Northeast.
"What should I do? Is there no other way?" The emperor looked at Tojo Hideki, Itagaki Seishiro and others angrily: "You all came up with the good idea, why are you silent now?"
The prime minister of the island country felt complacent when he saw the arrogant people in the military being deflated. But he also knew that this issue was related to the fate of the island country. Think about the scene of a bomb that was taller than a man and swept within 20 meters after it landed.
.
What's even more hateful is that the people who made the bombs are too evil. They contain steel balls and broken iron knives to stab them. Once it falls on someone, it will either kill you or leave you with missing arms and legs!
Now he is suspicious of both the Jehol Army and the Nanyang Task Force, because these two forces have one thing in common, the weapons they use are very advanced! But he is also very confused, the United States does not have such weapons, and neither does Germany.
Could it be made by Lao Maozi?
"Your Majesty, I suggest you start with the car chassis, especially the Hummer."
Saito Minoru's words saved the embarrassed military personnel. They suddenly thought that tractor land was needed to produce tanks, and they might be able to investigate and deal with some clues.
"Your Majesty, I will send people to conduct an investigation in all countries to see which country is against the empire!" Doihara stood up in a hurry and bowed down before the emperor could express his stance.
"Old fox!" Hideki Tojo cursed secretly, but he had no reason to leave.
In the city of Shanghai, the Nanyang Task Force not only promoted anti-Japanese resistance, but also performed martial arts, fighting skills, special battles, marksmanship, and stabbing for everyone. They knocked down the Japanese planes, wounded and sunk huge warships.
It has won the respect of the citizens. Seeing the majesty of the male soldiers and the heroic training of the female soldiers has given them confidence to win the war.
Song Ziwen was about to leave, and he reluctantly said to Yinlong: "Will you all leave? Can you leave a camp in Shanghai?"
"Minister Song, are you worried about the Japs attacking Shanghai?" Yinlong smiled: "Once a war breaks out in Shanghai, our troops will not fail to come back. This beautiful city cannot be destroyed by the bastards!"
"I'm relieved!" Song Ziwen once invited the task force to go to Nanjing, but Yinlong didn't agree. The reason was that Chiang Kai-shek didn't say anything, and going there might have a negative impact on him.
Song Ziwen smiled: "You are all very smart! Well, whenever you have difficulties in the country, just send me a telegram. I can't do anything else, but I can still solve the problem of food and drink!"
"I will definitely trouble you, the God of Wealth." Yinlong held Song Ziwen's hand and said cheerfully.
"It would be great if my God of Wealth had a cornucopia!" Song Ziwen laughed loudly and said goodbye to the officers of the task force one by one.
In the United States, agents from the island country quickly investigated the sales of Hummers, but they found nothing suspicious. Hu Zhiyong in Los Angeles pulled the tractor back in a truck, and it was said that it was related to the order from the U.S. military.
After tracing through technology and other aspects, nothing seems to be found. The islanders are depressed: "Are these things and people all aliens from outer space?"
"Business in Southeast Asia and business in the American continent are both controlled by Hu Zhiyong. This man is very capable!" Doihara is indeed a sinister, sinister and double-dealing master agent. He quickly made a bold guess from the clues.
He sent people to track down Hu Zhiyong's whereabouts, but found that the man seemed to have disappeared. The suspicion became more and more serious, and he told the news to the island country's ambassador to the United States.
"I want to see Mr. Hu Zhiyong, the young master of the Hu family." The ambassador heard the news and hurried to Los Angeles to find Bailey.
"Now?" Bailey hesitated for a moment, as if for some reason.
"Yes, now!" The island country's ambassador hurriedly demanded as if he saw a flaw.
"He, my cousin, and the children are all in Virginia, and I was about to visit him." Bailey quickly agreed, and flew with the ambassador. After arriving in New York, they took a special car to Hu Zhiyong's villa in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
"It's so beautiful!" The ambassador was sitting in the car and couldn't help but admire everything here. He didn't expect that Hu Zhiyong had also developed here, and he seemed to have made great achievements in the industrial system and civil building materials.
"Huh?" Hu Zhiyong felt strange when he saw the ambassador coming. He looked at the diplomats from the island country and asked, "Are you in a hurry? I am a leisurely rich man now, spending time with my children and not doing business."
"It's really yours!" the ambassador said bitterly. He paid for all the travel expenses this time. After seeing Hu Zhiyong, he was discouraged. Not to mention the beautiful and clean environment here, the beautiful buildings and the mountains of fruits.
He is also willing to live here without going out.
Virginia has 47,000 farms with a total area of 8.5 million acres. The place Hu Zhiyong purchased is in a mountainous area, which is a fertile basin. At first, it was remote and no one cared about it. After his operation, he built roads and developed ten farms.
"Look, I have become a landlord now!" Hu Zhiyong showed off like he was complaining, which made the ambassador only smile bitterly.
"Aren't you going to go back?" the ambassador asked slyly.
"Go back?" Hu Zhiyong said awkwardly: "The war in Northeast China continues, and I don't want to go back yet. Besides, I can't just ignore my business. What can I do when I return to Zhuanghe?"
The ambassador was once again embarrassed. It was the islanders who did not allow him to do business in mainland China, and it was the islanders who forced him to stop the production of all factories and mines. They regretted that they wanted to ask him to resume business, but Hu Zhiyong had already invested money in Los Angeles.
To give excuses.
"You have a business with the United States to produce tanks?" The ambassador spent so much money to come here, and he must get some practical news.
"Yes!" Hu Zhiyong smiled strangely: "If the island country is willing, I can do such business with you. But I don't want to do small business, it must be 300 billion US dollars!"
"Three hundred billion U.S. dollars?" The island country's ambassador was surprised.
"This is the first stroke, the second stroke, and the third stroke will be more!" Hu Zhiyong described it calmly, as if he was not interested in 300 billion.
The island country, the mansion of Doihara.
"The clue is broken again!" Doihara sat down dullly, lowered his head and began to think.
Seishiro Itagaki and Hideki Tojo are both here, and they are both thinking non-stop. No clues have been found in Southeast Asia. What is very strange is that a large amount of materials were purchased on each island, but no one found out where these materials ended up.
at.
"Do you think we can still occupy Northeast China?" Tojo asked Seishiro Itagaki.
"Difficult!" Itagaki Seishiro was depressed. In 1931, he and Ishihara Kanji jointly planned the "September 18th" Incident. They challenged the 200,000 Northeastern Army with 10,000 people. This incident was what he was most proud of.
Now, the Northeast has become a graveyard for the islanders. Not only are the resources they have captured limited, they also have to transport a large amount of steel and food from the country to maintain the puppet Manchukuo.
"I think we can try this route to attack Southeast Asia!" Hideki Tojo looked at Doihara, he was asking for help from this notorious spy leader.
Within the island country, the navy also strongly agrees to attack the Nanyang area. Because this is the sea, their navy can have a place to display its skills here. However, the government departments do not agree, fearing to stimulate the United Kingdom and the United States and drag the island country into the abyss.
"I have an idea!" Itagaki Seishiro stood up and said to Tojo Hideki: "Form an alliance with Germany and Italy. They will contain the United Kingdom, and we will attack Southeast Asia!"
"What about the United States?" Doihara asked, narrowing his eyes.
