Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "The bold ones will die!" People in later generations used this sentence in business, but little did they know that this sentence is the most appropriate to use in Japan, especially in modern Japan, it is a perfect match.  Japan and China in modern times are simply examples of "cowardice to death" and "cowardice to death of starvation".  And later facts also proved that Japan was indeed "strapped to death", but what about China?  Being bullied by the brave Japanese, I had no choice but to fight hard. As a result, I was no longer timid and did not "starve to death" after all.  Although Kanji Ishihara is an alternative among the militaristic idiots mass-produced by Japanese military academies, he also has Japanese characteristics: he loves gambling!  He is very aware of the environment Japan is facing now.  Although the capture of Indonesia, Malaya, and the Philippines has given Japan a more stable source of urgently needed strategic resources, it will take some time for these resources to be truly transformed into combat effectiveness.  Compared with the industrial strength of countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States, Japan is simply not on the table.  He knows that even though Japan is currently attacking the United States in the east, Southeast Asia in the south, the Soviet Union in the north, England in the west, and the Republic of China in the middle, it can be said that Japan is showing off its power and majesty in all directions, but this is definitely not the point where Japan's strength has reached that level.  .  In the final analysis, Japan is really lucky to have reached this point.  And he can also be sure that, except for Southeast Asia, Japan cannot win against any of its enemies in the other four directions As long as they continue to fight, one of them alone can kill Japan, even the weakest China.  He also calculated that Japan¡¯s industrial output only accounts for 5% or less than 5% of the world¡¯s total, and it can only be regarded as third-rate in the world at best.  Not only is it far behind the United States, it is also far behind the Soviet Union, Germany, and Britain.  so.  Competing with the United States is actually asking for death.  For example, their steel production has been less than 7 million tons in the past two years. What about the United States?  Although a war has broken out and it has participated in the war, its production capacity is still not fully mobilized. But even so, its steel output is expected to reach more than 80 million tons this year, which was during the Great Depression of the 1930s.  Even with half of the blast furnaces out of production, steel output still hovers around 23-35 million tons.  This means that even if Japan faces off against the United States, which has suffered heavy economic losses, it will definitely lose.  Not only that, Japan also lacks high-quality iron ore resources. Although these can be supplemented from China, it is still difficult to meet the steel metal requirements of military factories.  Ishihara Wanji thinks.  If the scale of the war expands further, then they may need to dismantle the steel fences and road manhole covers in the Chinese-occupied areas and recycle them into steel making.  Before planning the sneak attack on the United States, Yamamoto Isoroku once expressed his strong opposition to this.  One of the biggest reasons for his opposition is that the industrial level gap between the two sides is too far. "The United States has more chimneys than Japan has trees"!  But no matter what, the war with the United States has begun.  So Ishihara Wanji thinks.  They must end the war before Japan's war potential is exhausted.  This is difficult, very, very difficult, or even completely impossible to do.  But at least, they should create an extremely favorable strategic environment for Japan before the war potential is exhausted.  Ishihara Wanji didn¡¯t think this idea was feasible before.  So his idea was just to occupy the Strait of Malacca and seize Australia's forward position against the United States.  Stick to the front line of the Ural Mountains, first try your best to block the three major powers of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, and then plot against China This is also very difficult to do, because it is difficult to completely win against China, but if you do this  , Japan at least still has a glimmer of hope.  But he didn't expect that the British were so incompetent, which made him see further hope.   "King Ishihara, you think that I am very ignorant about military affairs, so you want to deceive me, don't you?" Ishihara Wanji's words caused Hirohito to choke on a handful of saliva in his mouth, making the Emperor almost choke on himself.  Deathand this also led to Hirohito's extreme anger: The Chinese haven't been defeated yet, and they want to run to the junction of Asia and Africa?  Is the Suez Canal easy to navigate?  Although the British's performance was indeed not good, it was the Suez Canal.  No matter how awesome the Japanese navy is, how can it still have the ability to cross the Indian Ocean to fight when it has to take care of Southeast Asia and Australia, and patrol the Pacific defense line east of Japan?  Furthermore, even if they win, do the British warships in the Mediterranean look good?  "Your Majesty, the British are actively plotting Libyan oil! Although their troops in Egypt are trying hard to conceal their actions, I am sure that this is what they think, and they must have taken action Once the war in Libya  Expand, Egypt will be empty! At this time, we raid from the Red Sea, and there is a great possibility that we can seize the Suez Canal!" Ishihara said seriously.  "I know the geography of the world!" Hirohito shouted: "Entering the Red Sea? Do you think you can hide it from the British when you enter the Red Sea??  " "Can't hide it.  "Ishihara Wanji held his head high, "But as long as we gain enough time to act, we can achieve our goal.  " "But I think you underestimate our enemies.  "Hirohito shouted, "The British power in Egypt is on two different levels than the power in Burma!  Don't you know this?  "    "Know.  "Ishihara smiled and squinted at Hirohito: "And the British also know it very well.  So, they never expected us to raid there.  " "This won't work.  Hirohito shouted. "If you don't try, how do you know you won't succeed?"  "Ishihara Wanji stood up suddenly and took a step forward: "Your Majesty, if the previous strategy is that our defeat is almost certain, then by winning Suez, our hope of turning defeat into victory will be greatly increased!  As long as we can stay there for three months, we can even reconcile with Britain and the United States It's reconciliation, you know?  Let Britain and the United States take the initiative to reconcile with us after losing Southeast Asia!  " "reconciliation?  Hirohito's emperor aura was instantly taken away, and he returned to his sluggish state not long ago, "Can we still reconcile with Britain and the United States?"  " "As long as we can do what we thought we couldn't do, Britain and the United States must reconcile with us.  Especially the UK.  They need oil from the Middle East and iron ore from India.  As well as various supplies, without these things, their combat effectiveness will plummet, and they may even completely fall to the United States.  But this is absolutely unacceptable to them.  A hint of madness shone in Ishihara's eyes, "And as long as Britain takes the initiative to reconcile with us, the United States will not be able to fight with us alone before the war in Europe ends."  At that time.  Our enemy will only be China!  Only China!  And it¡¯s China that is completely surrounded by us So what if we give Myanmar to them?  Even if their tiny bit of industry can absorb the oil from Ren'anqiang and the copper mines from Monywa, how can it compare with ours, which has access to oil from Southeast Asia, Iran, and even the entire Middle East?  Apart from these, the Suez Canal is occupied by us. Even if they occupy Myanmar, they will not be able to get any assistance from the outside world!  " "Isn't it too idealistic?  Hirohito was slightly shaken, but reason told him that this plan was still a bit unbelievable. "If we really want to reconcile with Britain and the United States, how can they let us continue to occupy Suez?"  And if they want to continue to occupy Suez, how can Britain and the United States reconcile with us?  " "This requires us to show enough strength!  Ishihara smiled and said, "Besides, we are not alone!"  If our actions were known, Germany and Italy would certainly do their best to help us.  We may even receive support beyond our imagination!  " "Is this really okay?  Hirohito was finally tempted. Militarists like them are extremely easy to go crazy. Just like the Sino-Japanese War challenged the Qing Dynasty. The Russo-Japanese War challenged Russia. Before the war, everyone thought Japan was overestimating its capabilities, but in the end they still  Winning. As for the seizure of Suez across the Indian Ocean, didn't the Japanese Imperial Army also blow up the Panama Canal?  A warship can be repaired quickly as long as you put in the effort, but it also takes time, a lot of time. Moreover, across the Pacific Ocean and North America, their aviation forces also bombed New York Since this is impossible.  Everything has been done, why can¡¯t we seize the Suez Canal across the Indian Ocean? ¡°The hope of victory is only 20%, but compared with the previous missions of bombing Pearl Harbor, destroying the Pacific Fleet, and bombing the United States, this ratio is not low.  .  But if this plan succeeds, then we will have a greater say after the war. No matter whether the Axis powers win or lose in the end, we will be able to move forward and retreat freely!  And if we can occupy it for a long time, then, with the oil-producing areas in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, the empire will become one of the makers of the future world order. This is almost certain.  At that time, we will truly be on par with the British and American powers, and have great hope of surpassing them!  "Ishihara Wanji shouted impassionedly. "But this is 'preemption'!  Finally, Hirohito still had a trace of reason left: "Ishihara-san, this is completely different from sending aviation troops over for bombing."  This requires ground troops.  Moreover, the British's power in the Indian Ocean is not weak, and their power in the Mediterranean is even more powerful. Once discovered, this will cause huge losses to the empire. Do you know?  " "That's why we must be fully prepared before taking action, even if there is little hope of success.  "Ishihara Wanji clenched his fists, "This is also the fundamental reason why I want to carry out large-scale contraction in the Chinese battlefield.  " "Do you want to draw troops from the Chinese battlefield again?  Hirohito's heart tightened, "The Chinese are already difficult to deal with. If we allocate more troops there, wouldn't it be even more detrimental to us?"  ¡± &nbsp"Your Majesty, I have no intention of deploying soldiers from our empire." Ishihara smiled darkly.  "Not deploying the imperial army? Then you" Hirohito was puzzled.  "I plan to mobilize the Chinese Imperial Army!" Ishihara's smile became colder. "Your Majesty, do you know how many people there are in this team? If possible, we can even get more than one million troops!" "What's going on?  Can it be done?" Hirohito was horrified, "With so many Chinese people, can't you imagine what would happen?" "What could happen?" Ishihara smiled disdainfully, "The Chinese are just like us.  They are yellow people! If those Imperial Alliance troops arrive in Egypt, they will be even closer to us than they are now! They will become sharper and sharper bayonets in our hands!" "You are too confident," Hirohito spat.  He took a breath and said, "Don't you know who the leaders of the Imperial Association Army are? If they are forced to lead their troops abroad to fight, they will immediately surrender to the Chinese government again." "That's why, in these Imperial Association armies,  Get rid of their leaders before the army goes abroad!" Ishihara Wan'er said coldly.  "This is even more a fantasy!" Hirohito rolled his eyes rudely, "The Qing family, if we clean out the leaders of the Imperial Alliance Army on a large scale, it will only speed up their surrender!" "I didn't say that.  It's up to us," Ishihara smiled, "Someone will help us, Your Majesty!"
