    The Japanese seemed a little impatient to know what valuable information "Wilder" had brought them. That night, before the clear water had even moved, Wang Weiyi was taken to the official residence of the Japanese Prime Minister by a large group of Japanese soldiers.  .

    Here, almost all the people in power in Japan gather:

    Prime Minister of Japan and Prime Minister of the Army, Admiral Hideki Tojo, Prime Minister of the Navy, Admiral Shitaro Shimada, and Commander of the Naval Combined Fleet and First Fleet, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto

    "Bear" did not hesitate to expose himself and brought information at the cost of his own life and that of his son, which has quickly attracted the attention of Japan's highest level.

    "Bear" is Japan's trump card. These senior Japanese officials know that if this information is not important, then this spy who has been lurking for twenty years will not do this.

    ??Especially under the current circumstances.

    The war in the Chinese battlefield was not going well. Japan did not meet its previous vision of "annihilating China in three months" and suffered heavy losses. It began to expand into Southeast Asia in mid-1941, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the major powers in the region. In order to provide Japan with  Let¡¯s take a look at it. The United States has frozen its economic and trade with Japan, the most important of which is high-octane oil. Without oil, Japanese planes cannot fly into the sky, ships cannot travel in the sea, and Japan cannot continue its external expansion.

    In addition, Japan¡¯s oil can only last for half a year. Japan understands that it must either withdraw its troops from China, stop its external expansion, and move closer to the United States diplomatically.  Either form their own banner, go south to seize strategic resources, and continue to strengthen foreign aggression.  There are colonies of the United States, Britain, and the Netherlands in Nanyang. Entering Nanyang is tantamount to declaring war on the United States, Britain, and the Netherlands.

    And now the opportunity has come

    On June 22, 1941, the Soviet-German war broke out.  Japan, which failed to negotiate with the United States, decided to launch a Pacific War.  On July 2, Tojo Hideki participated in the imperial meeting. Under his encouragement, the "Outline of Imperial National Policy to Adapt to Changing Situations" was finally discussed and prepared, and he was prepared to go to war with Britain and the United States for the "southern advance".  Because Tojo Hideki believes that "the garrison of troops in China is a matter of life and death for the Army" and there must be "no compromise"; "If we completely succumb to the claims of the United States, the results of the China Incident will be destroyed, Manchuria will not be protected, and North Korea's  Governance will also be in crisis."

    At this time, Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro still did not have the courage to directly conflict with the United States, and asked Prime Minister Tojo to act "cautiously" in major decisions.  Hideki Tojo said rather disdainfully: "Sometimes, we have to have the courage to do something extraordinary - like jumping off the platform of Kiyomizu Temple, just close your eyes." Hideki Tojo  The machine also shouted: "As for the withdrawal of troops, I will not make any concessions!" If the troops are withdrawn, it means that "the United States has defeated Japan-this is a shame in the history of the Japanese Empire"!

    Konoe Fumimaro, a nobleman, backed down and announced the resignation of the general cabinet on October 16, 1941.  The day after the resignation of General Konoe Cabinet, Tojo's nomination to form a cabinet was approved through a meeting of ministers.  He was chosen not because of his high hopes or because he was an aggressor, but because of his dedication to military discipline, his ability to control reckless troops in times of crisis, his loyalty to the royal family, and his high energy.

    On the afternoon of November 17, 1941, the emperor summoned Tojo Hideki, promoted him to general, and ordered him to serve as an active military officer as the prime minister to form the cabinet, and to serve as the prime minister.  This made his position more consolidated than the previous ones. Japan, which was on the brink of war at that time, needed a fool who traveled to mines as a sign. The Japanese chose Hideki Tojo, and Tojo consciously took this step.  On November 18, 1941, the Tojo Cabinet was formally established. This was a centralized "cabinet" for launching wars. Hideki Tojo served as Minister of Land and Internal Affairs in one person. Later, he also served as Minister of Education, Culture, Commerce, Industry, and Munitions Minister.  Gathering all kinds of power into one.  In his inauguration statement, this war madman clamored that "complete the China Incident and establish the 'Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere'" was the national policy of the empire, and that "under the imperial authority, the whole country must unite and move forward to complete the holy cause."

    A tough war cabinet has been established, but there is still debate within Japan about whether to launch a Pacific war immediately.  The defensive and counterattack faction and the proactive offensive faction completely formed a serious confrontation.

    In addition, the Japanese army was deeply entrenched in the Chinese battlefield, and it was very doubtful whether it would be able to launch a new all-out war, because until November 1942, for a whole year, despite adequate preparations, the "Sneak Attack on the Pearl" that should have happened long ago  "Hong Kong" incident never happened

    Even Tojo Hideki himself was not completely sure.

    When asking Yamamoto Isoroku for his opinion, the commander of the Combined Fleet told Hideki Tojo: The Pacific War will inevitably break out, but the question is when it will break out.

    ¡°Previously, Isoroku Yamamoto further and thoroughly improved the strategic thinking of the Japanese Navy.  In the previous 20 years, the Japanese Navy had been a believer in Mahan's sea power theory and formulated theA gradual reduction attack operation was carried out: using light surface ships, submarines and shore-based aviation to continuously weaken the U.S. Navy fleet as it crossed the Pacific Ocean, and finally the main force of the Japanese Navy was used in the North Philippine Sea - approximately between the Mariana Islands and Ryukyu Islands.  In a "decisive battle" between the islands, the entire U.S. Navy was wiped out using the traditional battleship-to-battleship bombardment tactics.

    Yamamoto Isoroku keenly pointed out that this kind of plan has never been successful even in Japan's own war games, and pointed out that the real strategic advantage of the United States lies in the strong domestic production capacity.  Yamamoto Isoroku suggested that instead of hoping for a defensive plan of weakening the enemy first and then fighting decisively, it is better to take the initiative to attack.

    Yamamoto Isoroku hoped that if the U.S. military could be severely damaged in the early stages of the war, it might be possible to prompt the latter to sit at the negotiating table and sue for peace early.  The Japanese hoped that this strike would give them at least six months of strategic advantage in attacking the resource-rich Dutch East Indies without interference from the U.S. Navy.

    But this is just an idea

    At this time, "Bear" sent an urgent telegram to Japan. The telegram only vaguely stated that he would bring about a major change in the United States' thinking toward Japan.

    The attitude of the United States had a profound impact on Japan at this time. This is also a very important reason why these Japanese authorities are so eager to see "Wilder".

    When he saw "Wilder", Hideki Tojo suppressed his inner urgency and expressed his condolences to "Wilder" for the unfortunate death of his "father" and "Bear", and then changed the subject:  "Miyamoto, let's call you Wilder. I heard that your Japanese is very good? You were born and raised in the United States, but you haven't forgotten your mother tongue. This is rare."

    "My father has always taught me not to forget my motherland, Prime Minister." Wang Weiyi said respectfully.

    "Ah, very good, very respectable." Tojo Hideki exchanged a few pleasantries, and finally brought the topic to the question that all Japanese people want to know most: "Did you bring back the information that your father protected with his life?  "

    "Yes" Wang Weiyi's face showed a "sad" expression: "It's urgent, the United States is about to launch a war against Japan!"

    With a "wow" sound, the whole conference room suddenly boiled.

    It¡¯s incredible, it¡¯s incredible.  Although the United States had previously imposed a series of sanctions on Japan, there was no sign of war at all.

    "Are you sure, Miyamoto?" Yamamoto Isoroku's eyes were fixed on Wang Weiyi.

    "I can be sure!" Wang Weiyi did not avoid his gaze at all: "For this, the United States has made full preparations. Everyone, everyone knows that the United States is experiencing a brutal economic crisis, with high domestic unemployment, serious conflicts, and capitalists.  There is a serious confrontation with the workers, and it can even be said that the contradiction has reached the point of irreconcilability. What is the most effective and fastest way to divert domestic contradictions and restore the economy? War! When the war machine is turned on, all contradictions will be eliminated, and the economy will be eliminated.  Restored by the advent of war.¡±

    The Japanese do not deny what he said at all.  War is indeed the best way to divert domestic conflicts.

    "Everyone!" Wang Weiyi's voice rose slightly: "The U.S. Pacific Fleet is ready. I have also brought you all the troop deployment and firepower coordination of the Pacific Fleet, including the names of their commanders."

    The Japanese looked at each other. If this is really the case, then this information is really precious.

    "The time for the sneak attack will be set on December 25th!" Wang Weiyi emphasized his tone: "This time is codenamed 'Papance Eagle'. In this plan, Japan's codename is 'Cherry'. I have the United States  All the passwords people use to contact you¡±

    This is when Colonel Shimizu Shimizu finally said: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, everyone, we have indeed intercepted a large number of telegrams between the Pacific Fleet's Hawaiian Fleet and the United States. The word 'cherry' was mentioned countless times. We thought  I don¡¯t understand it, but now after listening to Miyamoto-kun, I think there is an answer.¡±

    "Bring all the telegrams immediately." Tojo Hideki said with a gloomy expression.

    Wang Weiyi smiled, he had to thank Xiao Ling.  Those telegrams "intercepted" by the Japanese were all Xiaoling's masterpieces.

    And this time the questioning of "Wilder" lasted for six hours.

    Within these six hours, Wang Weiyi told these Japanese authorities all the information he knew about the United States' preparations to attack Japan.

    He said it in too much detail, including the number of troops and time the United States prepared to use to attack, and the passwords the Americans used to contact them. These six hours were enough to change everything.

    When Wang Weiyi was escorted?When he left here, the emergency meeting in Japan was still in progress, but Wang Weiyi knew that he was not far from the road to success!  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
