Although the desire to send troops to Hawaii and Midway was very urgent, the Japanese cabinet members were very careful to plan the matter, and Japan's biggest enemy at present was China, but the situation on the battlefield in China was developing a little strangely. The Japanese army attacked Burma on the one hand to contain the British colonies in Asia, and on the other hand, to enter China from Burma and take advantage of the situation to occupy southwest China and threaten Chongqing.

It is a pity that the imperial army that entered the territory of Burma was blocked by the troops of the Chinese people on the line of Lashio, and the Japanese cabinet wanted to transfer the southern corps under the command of Yamashita Fumi back to Burma, but Yamashita Fumi's offensive was like a rainbow but let the cabinet members see the opportunity for Japan to control the whole of South Asia. The situation was so strange and changeable that it was difficult for the Japanese cabinet members to make a decision for a while, and at this time, Kenji Kokura, who was hiding in the army headquarters, suddenly made a force.

Secretly contacted many low-ranking officers in the military department, and the officer corps headed by Kenji Ogura submitted a battle plan to the army headquarters. In this battle plan, Kenji Ogura proposed that a certain proportion of combat troops should be transferred from the Chinese battlefield to fight on the US mainland, and that the United States would be more suitable as a new target for Japan than China, which had a backward industrial base. If Japan wins the war against China, it will be nothing more than an extra piece of territory, but if it wins the war against the Americans, Japan will not only have the status and opportunity to speak out about the world, but also the strong industrial base of the United States will become Japan's bag.

Since the empire gave most of its military spending to the navy, the army could only find ways to seek development on its own, and attacking the United States was a good opportunity for the Japanese army. The battle plan submitted by Kenji Ogura and others to the military department can actually only be regarded as a not mature idea, but even so, this battle plan still caused an uproar in the army department, and even Kenji Ogura became a new star in the army department.

"What do you think?" Kenji Ogura's battle plan submitted to the military headquarters soon appeared at the cabinet meeting, and after looking at the rough battle plan, the cabinet members were all amazed at the boldness of the plan. Fumima Konoe, who was the prime minister of Japan at the time, was a representative of Japanese-style fascism, and it was Fumima Konoe who supported the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Combined Fleet and lobbied the emperor of Japan to agree to the plan.

At present, Japan is in power with the Konoe Cabinet, and it is Konoe Fumima who has made the greatest support for the Combined Fleet, and Konoe Fumima himself supports the Army's plan to send troops to the United States, but he still needs to convince other members of the cabinet. Since the Black Ship Incident in 1853, Japan has been succumbing to the pressure of the United States, and at the same time, the strong industrial base and economic strength of the United States have been envied by the Japanese.

The United States is like a mountain pressing on Japan, which has become an upstart in Asia with the support of Western powers, but at the same time it is also trying to get rid of the control of Japan by Western countries. This relationship with the West has distorted the psychology of the Japanese, and now that the Combined Fleet has successfully occupied Hawaii and Midway, the humiliation that has been frustrated in the hearts of the Japanese for nearly a hundred years finally has a direction to vent.

The Cabinet discussed the Army's battle plan for several days, and after considering all the factors, the Konoe Cabinet finally made a decision, but their decision had to be approved by the Emperor of Japan. After the German consul in Japan learned of the War Department's plan to send troops to the United States, he sent a secret telegram to Berlin to persuade Emperor Hirohito to approve the plan, and according to Berlin's reply, once Japan landed on the west coast of the United States, Germany would persuade Mexico, which borders the United States, to cooperate in the war.

The Germans had already made the conditions, Emperor Hirohito had thought about it for a long time, and Konoe Fumima's careful lobbying, so he immediately ordered the transfer of one division from the Chinese battlefield to return home, and at the same time two Kwantung Army divisions from the northeast to return from Korea. With three regular divisions and two reserve divisions formed on the mainland, Emperor Hirohito's troops to the United States have reached a total of 70,000 troops in five divisions, and of these 70,000 people, excluding the one reserve division left behind in Hawaii and Midway, only four full divisions actually attacked the west coast of the United States.

Just as the Americans secretly collect military and economic intelligence on the Japanese mainland, there are also many Japanese agents disguised as civilians who secretly collect all kinds of intelligence from Western countries, especially the United States, and Japanese intelligence organizations have long dispatched hundreds of intelligence personnel. The main reason why Hirohito and Fumima Konoe agreed to this plan put forward by the War Department was that the plan mentioned the local production of military supplies and ammunition in the cities of the west coast of the United States, and the strength of the American industry was the envy of Japan, and if the attacking US army could make use of the local industrial base to produce ammunition and military supplies on the spot, the four divisions of the expedition to the United States would no longer have to worry about logistical supplies.

Kenji Ogura's battle plan mainly came from Zhuo Fei's staff group, which spent half a month in order to formulate this plan to lure the Japanese into the bait. Facts have proved that the Japanese have indeed taken the bait, and in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, the Japanese cabinet even sent a group of military workers from the mainland to the United States with the team. So everything has become a foregone conclusion, and from the moment Kenji Ogura made a plan for the war department's cellar operation, Japan was already on a path of no return, but they themselves did not know it.

Zhuo Fei received the news a little late, when he received the Japanese cabinet had approved the battle plan, the first two divisions of Japanese troops had already sailed to Hawaii and Midway, in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, the Japanese mobilized almost all the ships they could collect, including a large number of merchant ships. Zhuo Fei sent out the information he received, and then summoned the officers of the 1st Independent Division to conduct a sand table combat deduction in Lashio all day long, and in dozens of sand table exercises, Zhuo Fei had already instilled his big counteroffensive plan to all the officers of the 1st Independent Division.

"Our only task at present is to confront the Japanese army, using reconnaissance troops and Burmese mercenary units to attack the logistics and supply of the Japanese army, causing supply difficulties for the Japanese army and demoralizing the Japanese army." Zhuo Fei ignored the requests of the officers of the 1st Independent Division to ask for war, and the answer was that Zhuo Fei was not prepared to make corresponding changes until there was no new movement of the Japanese army at home.

After successive battles with the Japanese army, the areas controlled by the three new armies that have now entered the theater have been connected to the city, and although the new three armies have finally failed to cut off the passage between the Japanese forces in North China and South China, the situation in the domestic war of resistance has obviously been reversed by the new army. The emergence of the New Army did not become the focus of the Japanese army's attention, because there were two incidents, the Japanese Combined Fleet's attack on Pearl Harbor and the control of Midway, and when the Japanese army invading China really began to pay attention to the New Army, the New Army, which was on the offensive, suddenly stopped and began to cooperate with a large number of reserve forces to stabilize the control area.

With regard to the areas controlled by the Forces nouvelles, the coalition government's attitude is very clear, that is, since it has been defeated, it must be able to defend it, and if it cannot hold it, it must also clear the wilderness and leave the Japanese army with a no-man's land. There was no comparison between the occupation of a territory that would provide logistical supplies and a no-man's land, and the coalition government's strategy was to do everything possible to cut off the possibility of the Japanese army continuing to collect supplies from the occupied territory.

A large number of troops of the Eighth Route Army entered Hebei from Shanxi, and the Jin Sui Army, which had always avoided war, actually followed the attack and coordinated operations, coupled with a large number of guerrilla troops in Hebei, the Japanese puppet army under Okamura Ningji was suffering casualties every day. Okamura Ninji has always looked down on those guerrilla troops who left with one blow, but these guerrilla troops inflicted great casualties on the Japanese puppet army in North China, especially the troops of the Imperial Allied Army, and there were many defections in formation.

All of this put Okamura under pressure, and he now finally knew how hot his position as commander of the North China Front was. Fortunately, since three days ago, the guerrilla forces that had made a mess in North China suddenly fell silent, and the Chinese army under the city retreated to the junction of Shanxi and Hebei.

Okamura was busy in the dark with the dispatch of troops to carry out a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the guerrilla areas, but the results of his actions were not very good, and he did not notice the signs of a large number of guerrilla armed activities in Henan and Shandong. The Japanese had already sent troops to Midway Island to try to attack the US mainland, and the change in Hebei was precisely the reaction and adjustment made by the Joint Command, and once the Japanese army really landed on the west coast of the United States to launch an offensive, Henan and Shandong would become meat grinders and graveyards for the Japanese army.

All the arrangements have been prepared, and now they are waiting for the news of the landing of Japanese troops in the United States, unlike Angela, who did not believe that the Japanese army could land on the west coast of the United States, Zhuo Fei firmly believed that the Japanese army could land in the United States and quickly kicked off the prelude to the war on the American mainland. In order to cooperate with the war in Europe, although the United States has conscripted hundreds of thousands of soldiers, they are all new recruits, and they are not opponents of the Japanese army at all, and Zhuo Fei believes that once the four divisions of the Japanese army as the vanguard gain a foothold on the west coast of the United States, the Japanese cabinet will mobilize more Japanese troops to fight in the United States.
