Ishihara Wan'er stood up, his eyes wandering over the faces of the brothers from Mainland China in front of him, their expressions were extremely serious:
"Gentlemen, I have called you here today not to show off my personal achievements and achievements. Although I know that in just a few months, I was promoted to the rank of General of the Front Army, many people do not think so, but what I want to say is
Yes, in the face of the great justice of the empire, please put aside all prejudices and face the current crisis together first!"
Having said this, Ishihara Wanji bowed respectfully to everyone.
Seishiro Itagaki, Kenji Doihara, Neji Okamura, Rensuke Isotani, Hideki Tojo, Koichi Ishikawa, Teichi Suzuki, Naosaburo Okabe, Hanbei Hattori, Hobumi Yamashita, Akira Muto and others hurriedly bent down
The 112 generals and generals who filled the room of more than 100 square meters bowed to Ishihara Wanji.
Ishihara Wanji nodded and continued: "All wars should have a thorough plan, a clear purpose and a nationwide unified fighting method. Finally, there should also be a bottom line when the troops are used to the limit. We must be clear about war control.
On what scale and how can it end with dignity? These are the precious treasures left to our descendants by our forefathers, Yamagata Aritomo, Oyama Yan, Kodama Gentaro and other generals. In fact, we have set
There must be such a bottom line, but now, many people have forgotten it and only know how to fight fiercely and continuously consume the national power of the empire. This will only bring the Yamato nation into a dangerous situation.
"Gentlemen, the empire is now stuck in the quagmire of the China War. According to the latest information obtained by our intelligence personnel, the China government has organized forty-one armies to fight against our country. The strength of the army is very likely to reach a record-breaking 6 million, and I believe that everyone has already
It is clear that China's actual population is estimated to be over 600 million, and these 6 million troops only account for one percent of its total population. They can form a second or even a third 6 million army at any time, as long as its southwest industrial base does not collapse.
A steady stream of troops can come to the front line at any time to compete with us.
"What about the empire? So far, it has organized 3 million troops. Even if the empire includes expatriates in South America, Southeast Asia, and Europe, the population is less than 100 million. Our total army has accounted for 30% of the total population.
One. These 3 million troops are evenly distributed among Taiwan, Ryukyu, Korea, Manchuria and the Northern Branch. In fact, less than 2 million can be put into use. Since we are an occupying force, the longer the front line is stretched, the more the division will be divided.
The more troops there are, and we don’t dare to consume a lot of troops. Once the consumption is too large, all fronts will face the fate of collapse, and the empire will be in our hands and will be destroyed! Therefore, I have summoned you all today to work together.
, come up with an idea on how to best ensure the interests of the empire. Please, gentlemen."
Having said that, Ishihara smiled and bowed respectfully again, which naturally attracted many generals to bow in return.
Hideki Tojo, who had just made great achievements in the Sui Cha War, said carelessly: "According to my experience in fighting in Manchuria, the Chinese people are very good at fighting in the mountains. Our Kwantung Army encircled and suppressed the Manchurian guerrillas and gave them credit several times due to defensive loopholes.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, he made consecutive mistakes and lost troops and generals. This was also the reason why General Ueda refused to die in peace.
"A month ago, as the Mushan Iron Mine garrison in North Korea was defeated by the main force of the Manchurian guerrillas, we quickly abandoned Dunhua City and with the support of the main force, we safely withdrew to Jilin City. Subsequently, the Kwantung Army concentrated its forces and recovered Rafah.
Shulan and other counties, and took the initiative to abandon the area east of Mudanjiang and the Greater Khingan Mountains, and began to build isolation and blockade zones. I thought that since we were blocked in the Taihang Mountains and Taishan areas, we should once again choose the right landing location in China's coastal areas.
, fight a few more beautiful battles like the battle in eastern Zhejiang in the plains, then the empire can accumulate small victories into big victories, gradually weaken China's national power, and slowly reverse the decadent situation."
"Tojo-kun is right!"
Colonel Akira Muto, who serves as the head of the Third Section of the General Staff Headquarters, said with a smile: "Well done to Mr. Ishikawa. He led the imperial army to gain rich profits in the plains of eastern Zhejiang. Now the empire has successfully overcome the difficulties, and all the citizens are here."
With the imperial propaganda machine in action, it is believed that the successive victories in the China War have given the army tremendous support. Under such circumstances, we should fight more similar beautiful battles and continue to bring the joy of victory to the people!"
This Akira Muto is a veteran of the "Ichiyokai" and has always insisted on adopting a tough attitude towards China. After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, he had a conflicting attitude with Ishihara Kanji, who firmly opposed the expansion of the situation in North China. For a while, the two sides could not argue. Ishihara Kanji
The relationship with Akira Muto once developed to the point of "I am without you, you are without me". Akira Muto has a surly personality and is an extreme egocentrist. His reputation in the General Staff Headquarters has never been good. As Akira Muto's
His immediate superior, Kanji Ishihara, who was the Minister of Military Command at the time, had naturally heard about this for a long time. Therefore, Ishihara would never forgive Muto for ignoring his authority. In the end, Muto Akira actually said, "We are now learning from Ishihara."
"What's wrong with what our ancestors did in Manchuria?" Ishihara Wanji blocked him back.
Akira Muto later bypassed Kanji Ishihara and secretly handed the draft "Guidance Guidelines for War Against China When Exercising Forces in North China" to the Chief of General Staff, Prince Kanin Miyazaihito. The prince was so moved that he made an exception and allowed him to go to the palace.
Jin visited Emperor Showa, but this plan was subsequently implemented by Hirohito, causing Ishihara to resign angrily in anger. As a result, in the North China War, the Japanese army lost consecutive battles. Muto Akira was reprimanded by Prince Kanin Miya Zaihito several times. If
Had it not been for Kanji Ishihara to turn the tide, Akira Muto would have been pushed into the reserve by now.
Therefore, generally speaking, Muto Akira at this time was full of awe of Ishihara Wanji, and was afraid that he would settle accounts in the future and end his military career prematurely.
Hearing Muto Akira's short-sighted words, Itagaki Seishiro frowned slightly and suddenly asked: "The current international situation has changed a lot. We should consider getting out of the quagmire of the China War as soon as possible! Gentlemen, take a look.
What did we get from this battle in North China? The areas around Shijiazhuang were empty of towns and villages, and other places were sparsely populated. When we saw the imperial army fearing the enemy and hurriedly avoiding it, we couldn't believe that this was once a relatively prosperous area of China.
In the next two years, the empire will have to invest huge manpower and material resources in the development of this land. Compared with our efforts, the gains outweigh the losses!"
"Itagaki-kun is wrong!"
Lieutenant Commander Inada Masazumi of the General Staff Headquarters said disapprovingly: "This operation not only consolidated the western defense line of Manchuria, but also obtained a large amount of resources. The gold and silver mines in the east of Laizhou in the Jiaodong Peninsula and the iron ores in the Zichuan area, Shijiazhuang and beyond
Aren't the coal and oil in Nan Lincheng and Datong in Shanxi, the bitter soil as the raw material for refractory bricks in Ye County of the Jiaodong Peninsula, the salt in Qingdao, Tanggu and other places, and the wool in Guisui (Urumqi) all strategic materials urgently needed by the empire? Especially recently, aren't they?
The large-scale iron mines discovered in Tangshan, Handan, and Baiyun Obo areas, the large-scale manganese mines discovered in Manchuria's tile houses, the copper mines in Hongtuoshan, and the gold mines in Zhangjiakou, aren't these gains counted? What's especially important is that now Chinese people are migrating
It’s just a good time to leave, what a fertile plain, and the climate is much better than Manchuria. We can immigrate to the northern branch in large numbers from Japan and Korea and produce our own food. With the diligence of our and Korean farmers, there will definitely be a good harvest!”
Inada Masazumi’s words received support from many people.
Doihara Kenji smiled and said: "What you all said makes sense, but now there is a problem. All resources require manpower and machinery to develop. Where can we find so many people and machinery to the north?
Where are the weapons? Also, these areas we harvested have no industrial foundation at all. If we develop from scratch, think about it, how many years will it take to produce the guns and ammunition that the empire urgently needs for the troops? Really, we are in the process of producing them.
war service?"
Kenji Doihara's question immediately silenced the conference room.
Major Tsuji Masanobu, the operational staff officer of the front army, said loudly: "In my opinion, if you want to rob, grab areas with a strong industrial base. It would be too boring to rob China. Let's talk about eastern Zhejiang, which is still the richest area in China. However, I learned from Ishikawa-senpai
Judging from the list of seized materials, there is not even a decent machine tool, let alone large-scale machinery and production lines. Although plundering wealth directly can make you rich for a while, it cannot fundamentally improve the industrial production capacity of the empire. All the money gained from plundering
, eventually all went to the United States, and the empire still had to rely on others. My opinion is that, taking advantage of the Soviet civil war, we quickly implemented a landing from Vladivostok, occupied the highly industrialized Far East, and directly obtained the Soviet industrial equipment to enrich
The military might of the empire!”
Tsuji Masanobu's words triggered a heated discussion, and everyone was very interested in this proposal. After all, "going north" and "going south" have always been topics of interest in the Japanese military circles. In each issue, mainland China does not know how much it will do about this.
During the special discussion, Masanobu Tsuji’s proposal inevitably scratched the itch of many people.
Hideki Tojo, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army who resigned as commander of the Chahar Corps, was greatly impressed. He quickly walked to the world map, pointed to the Far East, and said to the generals and generals present:
"The Far East is only separated from the mainland of the empire by the Sea of Japan. It has always threatened the security of the empire, North Korea and Manchuria. The defense must always be more vigilant, which involves a lot of troops in the empire. Now the Soviet Union is in civil strife, and there is no winner in a short time.
, it just gives the empire an opportunity to consolidate its border defense and enrich its strength. If we don’t take it now, then when will it be better?”
"Yes, all the troops in the Far East have been deployed to the Siberian front line. We should seize this rare opportunity and take over the Far East in one fell swoop!"
Even Okamura Neji, who has always had a very strategic vision, could not withstand such temptation and stood up and loudly echoed Tojo Hideki's opinion.
After listening for a while, Ishihara smiled slightly disappointed and shook his head slightly when he heard that almost all voices in the conference room were in favor of Hideki Tojo.
Itagaki Seishiro, who had been paying attention to Ishihara Wanji's expression, felt something in his heart. He stood up and bowed to Ishihara Wanji and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, where do you think the most appropriate use of troops is?"
The venue became quiet again, and everyone turned their attention to Ishihara Kanji. Tojo Hideki sat back in his seat. Although he was dismissive in his heart, he appeared to be listening attentively.
Ishihara Wanji stood up and came to the map, pointed to the Far East and said: "You guys have a good idea, but I don't know if you have thought about it. It is almost entering winter. How can we survive the severe cold of minus 40 degrees in Siberia? How can we survive it?
Yes, now the European and American powers are eager for the Soviet-Russian civil war to get worse. It would be better if both sides suffer, and they certainly don’t want a third country to get involved. How will we face the accusations from the United States, Britain, France, Italy, Germany and other countries? Third, if
Once we carry out the landing and allow the two warring parties to temporarily put aside their prejudices and join hands to deal with the outside world, how will the empire face the counterattack of millions of Soviet Red Army troops who have strong spiritual beliefs and are a hundred times more ferocious than the Chinese army?
Finally, I wonder if you have ever thought about Stalin when you were free? In order to stabilize his power and position, this man could even force his own wife to death. You might as well put yourself in his shoes and think about what would happen if the Soviet-Russian civil war was fought in Moscow.
With all fronts collapsing, will Stalin turn to the empire to help him reverse his defeat?"
When the generals heard this, they were all stunned.
Ishihara Kanji's grasp of the overall situation impressed the always conceited Itagaki, Doihara, Suzuki Teiichi, Ishikawa Koichi and others. Even Tojo Hideki, who had always been hostile to Ishihara Kanji, had to take the initiative.
He bent down and asked Ishihara for advice.
Ishihara Wanji's finger slowly moved down the map, and finally stopped on the Dutch East Indies.
"If the Yamato nation wants to truly get rid of the shackles imposed by the white race on the neck of the empire, it must obtain a stable supply of oil, and the 'Lan Seal' is a precious gift from the empire. After nearly two hundred years of development by the Dutch colonists, the entire '
There are already a large number of factories and enterprises in the Lanyin Islands, and the industrial foundation is quite solid. In the past ten years, the development of the Chinese who migrated south has made the area a world-famous granary.
"More importantly, there are many lazy natives here who can provide us with huge labor resources! The mines, farms, salt fields, and factories in the North Branch are the best destination for these people! Since Hitler's head of state believes that advanced nations
We, the Yamato people, are charged with the great mission of eradicating backward nations. Why don’t we, the Yamato people, do the same? These lazy parasites have occupied the best land but have been unable to develop for thousands of years. Their existence in the world is completely redundant!”
Everyone was thinking silently. Inada Masazumi asked with some surprise: "Commander, why don't you consider plundering the Chinese people there? Don't the white colonists always support the natives to suppress the Chinese people? Why?
After we occupy that place, why should we do the opposite? Is this conducive to the rule of the empire?"
Ishihara smiled slightly and turned to Doihara Kenji: "Doihara-kun, it's up to you to explain this matter!"
"Hai!"
Doihara stood up and said loudly: "Everyone knows that before I served as the commander of the 14th Division, I had been in China for a long time, engaged in the work of recruiting important figures in China and collecting intelligence. Since 1933
From the beginning, the empire continued to test and bribe the Hong Kong Nanhua Group and the underworld organization Hongxing Society.
"The Nanhua Group was founded by Lu Kaiming, a British Chinese. This Lu Kaiming was an aristocrat officially canonized by the British royal family. His new economic theory made the British royal family and aristocrats rich, but it made many common people suffer...
..The pyramid scheme that is now banned in many countries was taught to the British royal family and flourished in the hands of the royal family. In the end, the royal family and the nobles made a lot of money, but the bottom line lost all their money, resulting in
Many sharp conflicts occurred in the UK.
"Of course, by citing this example, I just want to illustrate that this is an extremely extraordinary person. In fact, this is also the case. After establishing Nan Wah Group from scratch, in just a few years, this consortium developed into Hong Kong's leading industrial company.
body, its tentacles spread all over Southeast Asia.
"What is gratifying is that this Lu Kaiming has no objection to the empire. He has used his neutral status many times to quietly smuggle low-priced panmocillin injections to the empire, saving the lives of a large number of loyal and brave soldiers for the empire, and also sold to the empire currently in
The 'Brave Pill', which is extremely popular in the armies of Britain, France and other countries, is used to enhance the combat effectiveness of imperial soldiers. It is really a tribute to their hard work. At present, our Imperial Navy uses this pill to reward officers and soldiers, which is very popular among naval colleagues. They are eager to serve the country with meritorious service!
"Moreover, this Lu Kaiming also invested in Taiwan and the mainland of the empire. The Nanhua Supermarket he founded has branches in Tokyo and Osaka. Due to the strict protection of the imperial government and the secret service, it has survived all the riots against China.
, business has always been very good, and it pays millions of yen in taxes and profits to the local city hall every year, making it a well-known big taxpayer in the empire.
"What is particularly rare is that after the empire launched the Northern Branch, Songhu and Eastern Zhejiang campaigns, Nanhua Group still did not cut off business ties with the empire, and the industries under his name continued to operate as usual. After years of repeated verification by the imperial intelligence organization, it was finally confirmed that this
He was a true believer in "Pan-Asiaticism" and firmly believed that only Japan could lead East Asia and defeat the ambitions of the white race. He quietly revealed to the imperial intelligence agency that over the years, the Nanhua Group had opened and merged plantations all over Southeast Asia and hired a large number of people.
The Chinese work, if the empire invades the islands in Southeast Asia, the Nanhua Group will guide the local Chinese to actively cooperate with the empire.
"In addition, under the recommendation of Lu Kai-ming, the largest underworld organization in Hong Kong, Hongxing Society, is also full of expectations for cooperation with the empire. I believe everyone knows what virtues are among the underworld organizations in China, such as the Huidaomen of the North Branch, the Daoyi Society
, Tsung Yi Association and so on, they have joined hands with the imperial intelligence agencies many times to blow up the Yellow River railway bridge and block the transportation of the Chinese army. They are actually the empire's external troops. In short, for money and interests, they dare to do anything.
Dry.
"According to the investigation by our intelligence agency, the Hongxing Society is obviously such a gangster organization. Most of the main members of this society were persecuted by the Guangzhou National Government during the Northern Expedition and fled from Guangdong to Hong Kong. After more than ten years of development, they have become a
The largest mafia organization in Southeast Asia is involved in prostitution, drug trafficking, human trafficking, extortion, collecting protection fees, arms smuggling, etc. It can be said that it does all kinds of evil. This organization controls millions of Chinese people in Southeast Asia. Its leader Chen Biao is talking to us.
During the meeting, they said that if the Empire marches into Nanyang, they will choose to cooperate with the Empire, but they ask us not to damage the interests of their societies. The money we have to pay is a lot, even more than the taxes we stipulate. We just want to buy
A safe, I had already agreed to his request on behalf of the empire.
"Gentlemen, with the cooperation between Nanhua Group and Hongxing Society, once the empire occupies the Lanyin Islands, it can immediately accept white factories and enterprises, and the empire's industrial base will be greatly improved immediately. And with these people
With our cooperation, the empire can continuously obtain various resources without having to send too many troops. Of course, the most important thing is that we can immediately accept a large number of oil wells, so that the empire's strategic supplies will be fully guaranteed in the future."
Kenji Doihara's words made everyone extremely excited.
No one expected that Japan's national destiny was prosperous and it had just hit a wall on the North Branch battlefield. When considering how to end the war with dignity, there were people in Nanyang who immediately actively cooperated with it. In this way, the foundation of Japan's interests should indeed lie in the present.
"Lanyin" Islands.
After Doihara sat down, Ishihara glanced at everyone with a smile, lowered his head, and said in a serious tone: "Actually, I have always been cautious about going south, but this German adventure gave me great inspiration.
Think about it, faced with the strength shown by the Germans, Britain and France did not even dare to abide by the mutual assistance covenant they signed. Can they still be expected to lend a helping hand to a Netherlands that does not have any covenant?
"After occupying the 'Lanyin' Islands, we only need to state again and again that we are only trying to obtain the resources necessary for the survival of the empire. From now on, we will not make any unreasonable demands. We are 90% sure that we can get the understanding of Britain and France. In order to show
Regarding our sincerity, the empire can choose to withdraw its troops from the eastern Zhejiang and Songhu lines, retain only the Northern Branch, and declare that it will never infringe on the interests of Britain, France, and the United States. If necessary, in order to paralyze Britain, France, and the United States, it can even choose to withdraw from the Northern Branch. As long as there is
The oil in the 'Lanyin' Islands will provide the empire's fleet with a steady stream of power. Only in the future will there be hope for victory in the strategic decisive battle with the United States.
"Everyone can think about it in their hearts. Although Britain, France, the United States and other countries feel uncomfortable if the empire swallows the Lanyin Islands, as long as we ensure their interests on these islands and communicate with them repeatedly, it has nothing to do with them.
Is the change of territorial sovereignty worth a war? Moreover, please don’t forget that the Kaiser, the culprit of World War I, still lives in the Netherlands and is protected by the Dutch royal family and government. Britain, France and other countries are still feeling a thorn in their hearts!
"
The generals nodded repeatedly, admiring Ishihara Wanji's genius idea.
Ishihara Wanji added: "After digesting the 'Lanyin' Islands, it is estimated that spring in Siberia will come. After a winter of suffering, facing the situation of low morale and no fighting spirit, Stalin will definitely give some preferential treatment."
If the conditions are met, ask the empire to send troops. Twenty years ago, since Lenin was willing to give up about two million square kilometers of rich land in Ukraine and Russia in order to ensure the new Soviet power, then Stalin could naturally also consolidate his rule and consolidate his rule in the Far East.
and Mongolia were ceded to the Empire. In this way, by 1939, the Empire will have an extremely vast land. By then, the European War will almost begin. We will depend on the situation. If Germany gains the upper hand in the contest with Britain and France, we will
Join the camp of Germany and Italy. If Britain and France gain the upper hand, we can naturally join the Anglo-French alliance and fight against Germany and Italy together.
"Gentlemen, when it comes to national interests, there is no room for any personal feelings. Although the Japanese Army is inherited from Germany, we cannot pin the fate of a country and nation on our own personal preferences. Gentlemen must bear in mind,
The future of the empire is in your hands. Of course, this is just my idea, and I hope you will give me your advice!"
"It's already perfect. There is almost no need to add anything. This is the best way for the empire to rise! Ishihara-kun is indeed a strategic master who only appeared in a thousand years. He is even more powerful than Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period. I think such a big strategic idea,
It's far beyond the scope of 'Takachu pair', right? Inada is convinced!" Lieutenant Colonel Masazumi Inada, the operational staff officer of the General Staff Headquarters, bowed in salute.
Everyone surrendered happily and bowed to Ishihara Wanji.
Kanji Ishihara once again conquered the hearts of the Army with his genius performance.
Everyone knows very well that once directional adjustments are made at this meeting, all the state machinery of the empire, under the planning and promotion of a group of bold staff officers, will automatically go where it should go.
The direction, not even the Emperor, the Army Ministry and the senior officials of the General Staff Headquarters can change! This is the current situation in Japan. Soldiers eager to make achievements have taken control of everything. The top management must actively adapt to the changes below, otherwise they will be crushed by the torrent of history.
powder.
In other words, Ishihara Kanji's words have set the tone for the next stage of Japanese army mobilization. The Japanese army's march south is a foregone conclusion!
When many generals were leaving, Ishihara Wanji sent someone to call Seishiro Itagaki, Kenji Doihara, Neji Okamura, Koichi Ishikawa and Hanbei Hattori to the small conference room behind the Konseiden Hall.
After the maid in kimono made tea for everyone, Ishihara smiled and said seriously: "Ever since the plan to gather the Chinese army to the north of the Yellow River failed, I knew that this war would be protracted if we could not rein in the situation in time.
The huge attrition will bring the empire to its knees, and we must partially end the war in China.
"However, now that the empire has been kidnapped by the army, and all the soldiers are eager to make contributions, we must find a substitute for China. Otherwise, we who go against the trend will be mercilessly treated by the middle and lower-level officers and staff
Instead of letting crazy, visionless people lead the empire to destruction, it would be better for us, the wise men, to fight to the death, and we may not be able to create a new world.
"
Everyone nodded silently, knowing that what Ishihara Wan'er said was the truth.
Since the Wicker Lake Incident, Kanji Ishihara and others personally opened the magic box of "the lower is guilty of the higher", this has evolved into a terrible tradition of the Japanese army. As long as it is not in the interests of the army, even orders from the Ministry of War and the General Staff Headquarters can be used.
Forget about it, the grassroots staff officers and officers should get rid of the trouble first, so that they will not be afraid of dragging down the country and the army. Due to the repeated connivance of the Japanese government, this kind of recklessness and impulsiveness are often regarded as patriotic by the people.
Performance: No matter how big a mistake you make, you will be released from confinement for a few days, saying that you may not be promoted to a higher position, and then make more mistakes.
It was Kanji Ishihara who was deeply aware of the horror of this tradition, so he deliberately guided it, allowing the military elites attending the meeting today to convey their ideas, and direct the attention of all soldiers to the rich Netherlands.
In the East Indies, the middle and lower-level officers and staff of the Army will not pay too much attention to the high-level reduction of the scale of the war in China, because what they are about to face is most likely the entire Western world, which is much more exciting than attacking China.
Already.
Ishihara Wanji took a sip of tea and continued: "I don't know whether this is right or wrong, but I believe that this is much better than facing 600 million people. After all, there are still many exploits in the current international situation.
If we don't decisively take down the 'Lanyin' Islands, wait for Germany's ambitions to alert Britain, France and other countries, and wait for Britain, France and the Netherlands to sign a formal alliance, then the empire will fall into great passivity. Therefore, the 'Lanyin' Islands
It must be taken down within the next six months. The reason why Ishihara keeps you here is because Ishihara knows that you are all rare wise men in the army and can help Ishihara improve his plan and avoid detours, please!"
After saying that, Ishihara smiled and bowed deeply to salute.
Now Ishihara Wanji is a general of the army front army, and he was also a big shot who once served as military commander. No one dared to accept his courtesy. The five people sitting on both sides stood up in a hurry and bowed in return.
After sitting down after the ceremony, Doihara Kenji's eyes flashed with a trace of cruelty, and he suggested:
"The so-called non-toxic and non-husband, since we have decided on the future expansion route, from now on, we must take precautions and make more preparations. Gentlemen, there is indeed oil in the 'Lanyin' Islands that the empire urgently needs, but the vast
Australia also has the high-quality iron ore and coal mines needed by the empire. Moreover, Australia is a stable, not fully developed continent, with an area said to be close to eight million square kilometers. If the empire can move the entire country there, it will never have to endure it again.
Earthquakes, tsunamis and other hazards, what a wonderful thing that would be! Do you think that those white people living in Australia are so comfortable, should we find some fun for them? "
"Fun?"
Hattori Hanbei was slightly startled, rolled his eyes, and asked angrily: "Do you want us, the Inoto Special Attack Brigade, to set foot on that land again to specifically remove those white pigs with enlarged pores and smelly bodies?
Race people?"
Kenji Doihara shook his head: "No, no, no! It's too inefficient to kill like that, and it's easy to expose yourself... I heard that Unit 731 has developed many interesting weapons, including plague bombs, red diarrhea bombs, and anthrax bombs
, cholera bombs, typhoid bombs, etc. can be thrown on that continent. Anyway, we have not been able to get involved in that place in the past two years. Why not let the people there show how to fight against diseases and plagues? Say no.
We must be able to find some useful experiences from it. After all, the people on that land are inherited from the old empire, Britain, and may have new prevention and treatment methods. We can also learn from each other's strengths and strive for progress."
Itagaki Seishiro and Okamura Neji took a deep breath.
This is not to say that the two of them are very kind, but that they have never done such a cruel thing to a white person before. At this moment, Doihara Kenji suddenly said it, which made the two of them feel a little hard to accept it for a while.
Ishikawa Koichi's face turned ugly: "Is this appropriate? Is it too inhumane?"
"humane?"
Kenji Doihara looked at Ishikawa Koichi strangely and sneered:
"Ishikawa-kun, where is there any humanity in this world? When white Europeans massacred black people in Africa for gold and diamonds, did they show humanity to the black people? When Americans crazily slaughtered Indians for land, did they show humanity to each and every one of them?
Did the Indian tribes show humanity? When the Portuguese and Spanish massacred the Incas in order to seize the colonies, did they show humanity to the poor natives? How could you suddenly have such strange thoughts?"
Ishikawa Koichi quickly bowed his head and said, "Doihara-kun is right, Ishikawa has learned a lesson!"
A cold glint flashed in Okamura Neji's eyes, and he said in an emotionless tone:
"In fact, in my opinion, if the empire wants to rise, it is the most direct and effective way to obtain British interests in the Malay Peninsula, Burma and India. These places have no shortage of industrial base, resources and manpower. Even if the Germans are poor, even if
Joining the Anglo-French alliance to defeat Germany will bring little benefit after the war... Since Mr. Doihara has even considered Australia, I will also offer a plan... Aren't the Indians always clamoring for independence?
Is it? The policies of the top leaders of the Indian National Congress Party have been wavering. At one time, they started a non-violent non-cooperation movement, and at another time, they insisted on armed uprising to violently seize power. Since they love to toss so much, why don’t we just fan the flames behind their backs... We
Didn't they quietly start to adopt Indian orphans more than ten years ago? The number now is about three to four thousand. Since these little guys have received professional ninja skills training since they were young, their current strength should not be weaker than that of Zhu Tu.
Special force team members, right? Now is the time for them to show off. Find an opportunity to cover them to India, kill all those who insist on non-violence and non-cooperation, and then kill the officials of the British colonial government. It is best to let the two parties fight directly.
Get up, the more lively the fight, the better, so that our actions in the Lanyin Islands will be less hindered... In any case, we must make the water in India become turbid and turbulent, so that the British
They are terrified and worried that their colonial ship will be in danger of capsizing at any time, so that the empire can profit from it!"
"Okamura-kun's plan is brilliant and highly feasible!"
Hattori Hanbei was beaming when he heard this, and nodded repeatedly: "These Indian orphans are trained by our Iga-ryu. Although their killing skills are not as outstanding as those of the pig raiders, they have unique advantages in aspects such as sneaking and poisoning. These Indian orphans have since
The children were brainwashed by us and trained very hard. After receiving systematic ninja skills training, we invited special experts on Indian issues to teach them the language and common sense about India. Now they can all speak fluent Indian.
I think they are fully capable of the task of confusing the situation in India."
(Note: In real history, these Indian orphans who received militaristic education since childhood, plus Indian soldiers captured in Singapore and Myanmar, formed a large number of Indian puppet troops. Unfortunately, during the battle to attack the Indian mainland
In fact, special talents should be used in special operations. It is too wasteful to waste them on the battlefield. In this book, inspired by the Anjiajun special forces, the Japanese discovered the secrets of special operations and naturally used this part of their strength
Used on the blade.)
Hattori Hanbei is an expert in special operations, so naturally no one doubted his words, and everyone nodded.
When Seishiro Itagaki saw that everyone had great ideas to offer, he was not to be outdone and offered his own:
"Since the empire has a high chance of taking action against Britain, France and other countries, can we consider formulating a strict plan to plunder the colonies of Britain, France and other countries when Europe is at war? Although French Annan
Both China and Myanmar are close to China, Yunnan, and border with the Anyi forces, which is difficult to deal with. But with the North Branch, the Lanyin Islands, Mongolia and the Far East, we don't pay much attention to land. Anyway, what we need is the advanced technology in these areas.
Mechanical equipment, if you can't win, you can choose to retreat. Anyway, we have no losses. The Chinese have no navy and can only watch us leave. Britain, France and other countries have colonized Southeast Asia for many years, and I don't know how much wealth they have accumulated. If we don't cherish this opportunity, we will be in trouble in the future.
But it’s too late to regret it!”
Ishihara Wanji nodded repeatedly, very satisfied with the speeches of several friends. Finally, he turned his attention to the silent Ishikawa Koichi: "Ishikawa-kun, do you have anything to add?"
Ishikawa Koichi's eyes were grim: "Since Ishihara-san has decided that the empire's strategy will shift to the south and north, then from now on, we must continue to strengthen our naval construction. In other words, the empire's military spending in the future may
It will tilt towards the navy. I am worried that this will cause dissatisfaction among the army officers, and we must coordinate and channel it; in addition, through the China War, especially the battle of Haizhou Bay where the Navy's Second Fleet suffered heavy losses, it can be seen that the power of giant ships and artillery
Tactics are gradually declining. The navy's crazy obsession with large battleships has obviously lagged behind the times. In the future, there will be three-dimensional combat in the sky, on the sea, and under the water. The empire must have sufficient aircraft carrier formations to cruise the oceans full of fighters.
Above all, ensure the safety of our various strategic points;
"Third, the research and development of a new generation of fighter aircraft must attract sufficient attention from the top management. From the swarm combat tactics of this four-engine bomber, it can be seen that the American bomber technology is quite advanced. We should conduct in-depth and detailed research on this fighter aircraft.
Research and then produce our own strategic bombers and new fighter jets to ensure that the empire’s airspace is not violated;
"Fourth, since fighter jets are being updated so quickly, what about ships? Will there be greater progress in submarines that we have ignored in the past? Can the Imperial Navy's current submarine and anti-submarine technology keep up with the British?
, the pace of the United States and other countries? You must know that if the empire really becomes a vast maritime country, then the sea connecting various territories will become the empire’s main transportation and supply route. If there is no way to safely sail on the sea
If we can do that, how can we defeat the United States and lead East Asia to dominate the world?”
Ishihara Kanji was very shocked by Ishikawa Koichi's opinion. If Doihara, Itagaki and Okamura's suggestions had an obvious air of conspiracy, then Ishikawa Koichi's suggestion was a conspiracy that could be put in the sun.
It seems that this time I made a very wise decision to leave a few heroes to discuss alone. The speeches of these people greatly improved my plan to go south. I suddenly gained a lot of confidence in competing with Britain, France, the United States and other countries.
Ishihara Kanji then repeatedly consulted with the five people, made up for many possible mistakes, and formulated many response plans to prevent the failure of the plan.
Japan, which suffered severe setbacks in China, finally, under the leadership of Kanji Ishihara, turned its fangs on the European and American countries that had adopted a policy of appeasement and compromise. As a result, the world situation underwent even greater changes.
