At the same time, in Berlin, having learned that Japanese gold had been received, the Führer convened an emergency meeting in his office.

The reason was nothing else, but Japan sent a very bad news to Germany: the Japanese army decided to expand its forces in China and solve China once and for all.

This is definitely not good news for Germany, at least not for the head of state of China, whose soul comes from another time and space.

The Japanese navy ran rampant in the Pacific Ocean, which greatly stimulated the Japanese Army and the Ministry of Army. At the instigation of high-ranking army officials, the emperor was considering the possibility of further occupation of central China.

Just as Germany wanted to solve the problem of Japan's invasion of China, Japan itself wanted to solve this problem once and for all.

However, Japan's approach to solving this problem is different from Germany's, and what they intend to do is to forcibly annex China by force.

On the one hand, China's vast land and vast resources really attract Japan, and Japan also hopes to really swallow the elephant and complete the historic transcendence.

On the other hand, the garrison in Chinese mainland has been pinned down and consumed for a long time, which has also made the Japanese army feel the pressure. They sought a quick end to the war and a solid presence in their rear on land.

The last reason is that Germany's expansion is too rapid, and the German top brass has shown ambitions to meddle in Asian affairs, which has made the Japanese top brass uneasy.

They feared that once Germany ended the Soviet-German war, it would be able to use the East Asian Railway and extend its hand to the Far East, which would complicate the war between Japan and China.

Therefore, the solution of the Japanese top level is to first defeat China and form a monolithic situation in the Far East, so that Germany will not have a chance to intervene.

Hearing this annoying news from the Far East, Li Le's first reaction was very angry, and his anger also came from two sides.

The first is that Japan accelerated its invasion of China, and China was in an isolated and helpless situation at this time, which really made Li Le a little uneasy.

The second point is also because of Japan's arrogance: when they are not winning or losing in the Pacific theater, they still have the heart to expand the Chinese battlefield......

"Are the Japanese crazy? In order to be qualified to challenge the United States in the future, I have worked hard to manage crazy development here! Li Le pointed to the table, and the production report forms from all over the empire complained.

Then he looked at Speer, Hess, Heydrich and others who were called back for a meeting: "I have accumulated such a large production capacity and resources on my side, and I think that I am not fully prepared, they are arrogant, and they plan to kill the United States with half of their strength!" ”

Li Le, who knew the horror of the United States, knew very well that not to mention that Japan used half of its strength, even if Japan used all its strength, if he stood by and watched, the United States would inevitably defeat Japan.

Now that he is suppressing the reluctance in his soul and helping Japan suppress the United States, the situation in the Pacific theater is still not optimistic.

As a result, in order to guard against Germany, or to say that it was not greedy enough, Japan came up with the idea of annexing Asia alone.

"My Führer, the victory of the Japanese army in the Pacific seems to be irreversible by the United States...... At this time, it makes sense for them to take their attention away. Keitel, chief of staff of the Supreme Command, said from a military point of view.

Glancing at Keitel, Li Le felt that his own chief of staff still had historical limitations in the macro analysis of national strength.

General warfare or comprehensive national strength has not yet become popular in this era, and the traditional aristocratic military strategists in Germany still believe that victory on the battlefield is only victory on the battlefield.

"Marshal Keitel! You still don't understand that you lost one tank and annihilated four enemy tanks, which is your victory on the battlefield. Li Le said to Keitel: "But if at the same time, the enemy can make 10 tanks, but you can only produce 1 tank, then the enemy will fight more and more, and you will lose this war!" ”

If the rate of production is faster than the rate of loss, then the war can be turned from defeat to victory. Speer had heard the Führer emphasize, and others had heard some similar arguments to a greater or lesser extent.

Hearing the Führer say this, Keitel closed his mouth - he, as the chief of staff, the Führer's confidant, naturally had no reason to refute the majesty of the Führer.

Moreover, he also knows that the Soviet Union has supported itself to the present day with its strong mobilization capacity and simple production process.

At the beginning of the Soviet-German war, German intelligence estimated that the Soviet army had about 5 million regular troops. As long as this number of Soviet troops was annihilated, the USSR could only surrender.

But the war has been fought to this day, and in the northern and central regions, as well as near Moscow, the German army has annihilated more than 6 million Soviet troops, and the Soviet army in front seems to be still 5 million in size.

"My Führer, Japan is unwilling to cede its interests in the Far East, and this is something they have decided......" Hess, who has been in charge of agriculture and economics lately, still knows a little about diplomacy, and he opened his mouth to persuade Li Le: "We don't have a very good way. ”

Li Le also knew that there was indeed no good way to influence the decision-making of the Japanese.

He couldn't tell the Japanese that if you give the United States another year, the United States will be like a resurrected monster, with anti-heaven attributes, pushing the entire Pacific theater flat.

Of course, he couldn't tell these people in front of him that if the United States killed Japan, Germany might not be able to withstand the American firepower output.

Although Germany has begun to invest on a large scale in some future technologies, the United States has the background and the geographical advantages of the chosen country, which Germany cannot have.

"Yes! My Führer! The fact that the Japanese were able to contain the United States in the Pacific Ocean was already buying us time. Speer also spoke to persuade him.

Li Le sighed, he knew that he was powerless now. As for the future direction, he can no longer predict and judge in advance.

He can't judge who won the war in the end, nor can he judge what direction he will go in the future of his change.

All that remains is to let the situation develop. Japan will unleash another bloody storm in Asia, and the United States will also dominate the Pacific theater.

There really isn't much time left for him and Germany. Because if the United States and Japan had decided the winner in advance, the Far East would not have allowed the Third Reich to intervene.
