Chapter 1018: Diplomatic Blockade

In the end, it was Hirohito who summoned the imperial guards in, and finally separated Hideki Tojo and Mitsumasa Yonechi, but found that Hideki Tojo's myopic glasses were shattered, but Mitsumasa Yonechi didn't take advantage of it, and the corner of his eyebrows was cracked by a straight punch from Hideki Tojo, and blood flowed.

"Look at you, what do you look like a militaristic minister?" Xianyuan Gong Zairen was so angry that his white beard trembled, and he reprimanded fiercely, "It's like two street gangsters, oh no, street gangsters are more polite than you, it's just a shame." ”

Hideki Tojo and Mitsumasa Yonechi glared at each other, then snorted coldly and turned their heads away.

Kiichiro Hiranuma said in a round: "I have already stated it just now, and now I will reiterate it again, the theme of this imperial meeting is bazooka, I hope that everyone will only talk about things related to bazookas, and do not involve other things, so now, I will talk about my opinion, I also think that there is no need to equip bazookas at this stage." ”

After a pause, Hiranuma Kiichiro continued: "As for the reason, as stated in the assessment report of the Nakamura Agency, it is of little significance for the Imperial Army to equip bazookas at this stage, but the cost of building factories and assembling production lines is huge, and the cost of procurement and installation is even greater, and the empire's finances are afraid that it will not be able to support it." ”

Sadao Araki suddenly said: "But the assessment report of the Nakamura agency also said that in the future, the application prospects of bazooka are very broad, and at this stage, the imperial army may not be able to use bazooka for the time being, but in the future, who is sure that the empire will not go to war with the Western powers?" Therefore, it is still necessary to equip properly. ”

"I'm firmly against it." "The Ministry of Finance has no money. ”

Hirota Hongyi said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness and your colleagues, I have a suggestion. ”

Hirohito said with a solemn hand: "Hirota-san, I know that you have always been resourceful, let's talk about it, what advice?" ”

"Hello." Hirota Hiroki paused heavily, and then continued, "As Shi Shot-san said just now, the empire's finances are tight, and I am afraid that it will not be able to support the research and development, production and large-scale refitting of bazookas, but Your Majesty and you should not forget that our Japanese Empire still has hardcore allies, and we still have allies!" ”

Iotaro Ikutaro said, "Hirota-san is saying, Germany? ”

"No, no, I'm not talking about Germany." Hirota waved his hand and said, "I'm talking about Manchukuo. ”

"Manchukuo?" Hirohito's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded happily and said, "Yo Xi, this is a good idea. ”

Kiichiro Hiranuma immediately followed Hirohito's tone and said: "Hirota-san's suggestion is very good, I think it's so decided, and immediately instruct the Nakamura organ to get a sample of a bazooka as soon as possible, and then transfer it to the Kwantung Army and hand it over to Manchukuo, and then hand it over to the weapons research and development department of Manchukuo for research and development, production, and equipping the Manchukuo Army." ”

Iotaro Ikutaro Ishiki agreed, and for him, as long as he didn't spend money from the Ministry of Finance, everything was fine.

Of course, Mitsumasa Mine did not object, for him, it was a great thing for the Kwantung Army to be equipped with bazookas, because it meant that the Kwantung Army had a better chance of winning in the face of the Soviet Red Army, and once a conflict really broke out between Japan and the Soviet Union, and the Kwantung Army still won the conflict, the strategy of going north would undoubtedly prevail.

Although Hideki Tojo was full of reluctance, Hirohito had already nodded, what could he do?

Therefore, the impromptu Imperial Council quickly reached an agreement to hand over the tasks of rocket launcher research, trial production, and production to the Kwantung Army, and to carry out appropriate equipment in the Kwantung Army first.

At the end of the Imperial Council, Kiichiro Hiranuma and others left one after another, but Hirota Hiroki was left behind.

Hirohito left Hirota Hiroki in order to blockade the affairs of Dameishan, and said: "Hirota-san, the imperial army on the Chinese battlefield does not use bazookas, but the Chinese bazookas can pose a mortal threat to the armored and aviation forces of the imperial army, and this situation must be reversed, so it is necessary to completely cut off the inflow of strategic materials to Dameishan." ”

Hirota Hongyi said, but thought in his heart, you should go and tell Itagaki-san, I am not the commander of the 12th Army, I can't tell me about this?

Hirohito didn't care what Hirota Hiroki thought in his heart, and continued: "The geographical blockade of Dameishan will be responsible for the 12th Army under the Central China Army, but the geographical blockade alone is probably far from enough, and the empire may also need a comprehensive blockade from the political and diplomatic levels." ”

"A political, diplomatic blockade?" Hirota was surprised.

"Yes." Hirohito said, "According to the information provided by the special high school, although Xu Rui's Dameishan base area has established many factories and even arsenals, they are not able to produce motors, fuses, batteries and other products with relatively high technical content or precision requirements for the time being, so as long as we lock up from the political and diplomatic level, so that the Dameishan base area cannot obtain the products they urgently need from the West, the industrial area of Dameishan will immediately become difficult to operate, especially the fuze, once we lock them up to obtain the fuse. Their bazookas will immediately become ornaments. ”

"Your Majesty, I understand!" Hirota Hiroki nodded, and said, "I will send a note to the U.S. government and the British government when I go back, asking them to immediately suspend all trade with the Nationalist Government, and if they dare not agree, the Empire will immediately suspend all trade with them, but I believe they will make a wise choice." ”

"Yo Si." Hirohito nodded happily, "Hirota-san, please." ”

"Hello." Hirota bowed deeply.

(Dividing Line)

David Arms Trading Company, New York, USA.

David sat in his office on the twenty-sixth floor, overlooking the street view from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, looking full of ambition.

Although the David Arms Trading Company was still a small company with only six employees and even the office space was temporarily rented, David was still full of confidence in the company's future, because the David Arms Trading Company held three major patents in his hands.

The three patents are concave bombs, bazookas, and anti-infantry directional mines.

At present, the international situation is becoming more and more tense, although the United States has not yet come out of glorious isolationism, but with the rapid changes in the world situation, the United States cannot be immune, and will definitely be involved in the war in the end, so in the near future, these three patents will bring a steady stream of cash income for the company.

Patents, this is any company's cash cow ah!

Thinking of the cow, David couldn't help but glance at the female secretary sitting across from him.

His female secretary is not only young and beautiful, but also has a proud bust, remembering the scene of the two of them dying in the apartment bed last night, David can't help but feel a heat in his crotch.

seemed to feel David's fiery gaze, and the female secretary who was immersed in work suddenly raised her head, hooked the corners of her mouth, and threw a sultry look at David.

The female secretary's flattering glance ignited David at once.

Regardless of whether this is still during working hours, and in the company, David stretched out his right hand to the female secretary ambiguously hooked his fingers, and the female secretary understood, and immediately got up from the chair, twisted his waist and swung his hips, walked around the big table, and then sat on David's lap with his buttocks, and at the same time wrapped his hands around David's thick neck.

David reached out and pressed the proud chest of the female secretary, and was about to do more when the phone on the table suddenly rang.

"I'll do it myself." The smart and coquettish female secretary bit David's ear and whispered softly, and then unbuttoned his clothes by himself, David took out his right hand and picked up the microphone and asked, "Hello, this is David Company." ”

A voice immediately came from the phone: "David, are you your secretary again?" That plump cow? ”

David immediately heard that it was his good friend, Army Colonel Skner, the head of the Equipment Procurement Division under the US Department of Defense, who purchased 5,000 bazookas from David's company, which was brought by Skner, of course, Skner is another unknown identity, he is also a shareholder of David's company.

"Oh God, Skner, how do you know?" David clipped the phone to his neck, and then used his free right hand to knead the female secretary, who soon began to gasp for help.

"I can smell her on the phone." Skner laughed, and then changed his tone and said, "However, now you should get down to business first, the procurement office has just received an official letter from the Ministry of National Defense, all companies that have trade with China will immediately suspend all China-related business, including your David Company!" ”

"Suspend all China-related business?" David's hands immediately froze on the female secretary, and then asked in a deep voice, "Why is this?" Why are we discontinuing all China-related business? If you have money to make, why not? ”

"Because Japan, a big customer, is angry, if the United States does not suspend trade with China, the Japanese will no longer do business with us, the United States." Skner said in a deep voice, "David, I know that you have a good relationship with the Chinese, and emotionally I am willing to help China, but willingness is one thing, reality is another, the reality is that the trade volume between the United States and China is not even a fraction of the trade volume between the United States and Japan, and we cannot offend Japan because of China!" Do you understand? ”

"I understand." David replied dejectedly, and Skner on the other end stacked the phone.

The female secretary felt David's "frustration", pulled her hand out of David's crotch, and asked disappointedly, "What's wrong with you, dear?" Need help from me? ”

As she spoke, the female secretary knelt down between David's legs.

David shook his head, pulled the female secretary up, and said, "Ruth, you immediately help me send a transoceanic telegram to my Chinese partner, and I have news to inform him." (To be continued.) )
