The elders of the island country and the cabinet ministers quickly reached an agreement. Their fanatical attempt to place the national fortunes of the entire island nation once again in this gamble. If the bet wins, then the island nation will soar into the sky, and no one will be able to stop their rise. If you lose the bet, then the island nation is completely finished.

"Gentlemen, the rise and fall of the imperial kingdom is here to fight. We have no choice but to do everything in our power to fight for the Empire's victory! Youpeng said with a serious face.

"Hey, the Empire will win!" Everyone shouted feverishly.

Although, they have not yet told Emperor Taisho and asked for his opinion. However, it is as if everyone has chosen to forget this. In their eyes, Emperor Taisho was nothing more than a human-shaped seal.

"The Army mobilized immediately, and we needed more troops. If there is a war with Germany, 17 permanent divisions will not be enough at all. Okaichi said.

"Yes, the Germans have mobilized more than three million troops in this war. Moreover, their armies are equipped with more advanced weapons than ours. The quality of the soldiers, too, is tough. Even though the quality of the officers and men of the Imperial Army was not inferior to that of the Germans, it was very difficult to defeat them if they had too few troops. Especially since we have to send troops to occupy those colonies, which will distract us. The size of the army must be further increased. Oyama Rock also said.

"Let's mobilize ten divisions first! If it is not enough, the second batch of mobilization will be carried out. Not enough, I think ten divisions are enough. The Germans, presumably, would not have sent too many troops to the Far East. After all, it was too far from the German mainland, and if there were too many troops, logistical pressure alone would be enough to collapse them. Shan County Youpeng said.

"Hi, Lord Yamasan!" Okaichi nodded.

The army of the island nation has only 17 permanent divisions, and this is because they do not have enough military spending. If they can seize a large number of colonies this time, then they will have enough funds to support more troops. The size of the army of the island nation can also be further expanded. The status of the army in the island's cabinet can also be raised as a result.

After the senators and cabinet ministers gave orders, the army and navy of the island nation were immediately mobilized. The officers canceled their vacations, returned to the troops and began to prepare for battle. The soldiers in the township also received the mobilization order and began to rush to the assembly area of the troops, preparing to serve again. Once the 10 divisions and regiments are expanded, the strength of the island nation's army will be further expanded. And this, naturally, gives them more confidence.

The people of the island country are paranoid and addicted to gambling. It stands to reason that the head of government should be a sensible person, so that they are not prone to mistakes when formulating policies. After all, once you make a mistake, the consequences will be very serious and will bring a heavy blow to the country. However, island countries are different, and their politicians are more gambling. Especially after winning the bet, it will make them regard this as a shortcut, always thinking that their luck will definitely win, and they don't seem to think about how serious the consequences will be if they lose the bet.

The islanders acted quickly, and in only half a month, they completed the preparations for the expedition. Both the Army Staff and the Combined Naval Fleet have developed relevant tactics. The elders and cabinet officials listened to the reports of Admiral Yoshimichi Hasegawa, Chief of Staff of the Army, and Admiral Goro Ijiin, Commander of the Combined Fleet of the Navy.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, Excellencies. In this operation, the army was mainly divided into three stages. The first stage was that we sent troops to capture the colonies of Britain and France in Southeast Asia before the Germans could react, quickly occupy these colonies, and then prepare for defense. The second stage was to defend against the German attack. In the event of an attack by the Germans, the Army will do everything in its power to defeat them and secure our control over these colonies. The third stage is to defeat the German army and launch further attacks on other colonies, such as Australia and India! Hasegawa Yoshimichi introduced.

The elders and cabinet ministers were quite satisfied with Hasegawa's introduction. They also sincerely hope that they can advance to the third stage. In this way, we will be able to move on to Australia and India. The vastness of Australia and the richness of India are all coveted by these island people. If these colonies can be obtained, the rise of the island nation will be truly unstoppable.

"In the first phase, we will send the 1st and 2nd Divisions to attack the Indochina colony, the 3rd Division to attack the Malayan colony, and the 6th Division to attack the Lion City. The 4th and 5th Divisions attacked Burma. The 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th Divisions, which will also go to these areas at a later stage, will serve as reserves. The rest of the troops stayed on the mainland.

In the second stage, if the troops deployed in Southeast Asia could not defeat the Germans, then we would have to send more troops. All of the 10 newly mobilized divisions were sent to Southeast Asia. At the same time, the second mobilization began. In this mobilization, we will mobilize 20 to 25 divisions.

In the third phase, we will send 10 and 15 divisions to attack Australia and India, respectively. The British in Australia and India do not have much military strength left, and they have no way to resist our attack! Hasegawa Yoshimichi continued.

"Well, that's good, let's do it according to this plan!" After discussing with other elders, Shan County Youpeng said. 、

"Hey, Senator." Hasegawa nodded heavily.

"Elders, Excellencies. Because of the disparity in strength, the Imperial Navy mainly assisted the Imperial Army in this operation. In the early days, the Imperial Navy would escort the Imperial Army to Southeast Asia. Once the German Navy entered the Far East, the Reich Navy would not fight the German Navy, and it would need to preserve its strength, stick to its homeland, and ensure the security of its homeland. If the Imperial Army can defeat the German Army, then the Imperial Navy will be responsible for sending the Army units to Australia and India! General Goro Ijiin said.

Compared with the army, the navy of the island country is almost a soy sauce in this war. But there is no way around it, who made their strength so bad? If they rushed into a decisive battle with the German navy, they would definitely be wiped out. Rather than that, it is better to be a turtle with a shrunken head and preserve its strength.
