Tokyo, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the island.

Foreign Minister Kazunari Ugaki is talking with the U.S. ambassador, but the atmosphere between the two sides does not seem to be very harmonious.

"Your Excellency, the current war situation is very unfavorable for Burussia. Although, the Germans temporarily stopped the offensive. However, everyone can see that they are accumulating strength. In previous wars, the Russians had already lost two million troops. And all are still elite armies. Even though the Burussians are now constantly mobilizing their troops. But it is conceivable that on the battlefield next year, both Bukistan and Russia will be at a disadvantage. In the event of the defeat of Burussia, the Germans will occupy all of Europe. This will be very disadvantageous for our anti-German alliance! Therefore, the US government hopes that the island nation will launch an attack on Germany as soon as possible! The American ambassador said with a serious face.

The current United States is not ready for war, and if it wants to share the pressure on Burkina and Russia, it can only count on the island countries. The U.S. government hopes that the island nation will send troops to attack the South Seas and Australia, and then attack India and the Middle East after victory. These areas were the most important German colonies. In particular, India is Germany's largest overseas market and source of raw materials, and the Middle East, which is Germany's most important oil producer. If these two places were threatened, Germany would certainly go to the rescue with all its might. In this way, it will be able to drag down Germany's strength. For Buo, it will be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Originally, the U.S. government thought that the island nation was just a dog they raised. Even though the dog was fattened a lot and became a wolfdog. However, the leash is still in their hands. Whatever they let the islanders do, the islanders will not dare to resist.

However, it now seems that the government of the island country has pushed back and forth to the US government's demands, which has made the US government very unhappy, and some voices have even proposed to stop providing steel and oil to the island countries.

"Your Excellency, Germany is our enemy, and we will certainly go to war with them, there can be no doubt about it. It's just that we are not ready for war yet. If we go to war rashly, we probably won't have a chance of winning. Therefore, we hope to be able to go to war against the Germans only after we have been fully prepared. Kazunari Ugaki said.

"So, can your government give us a deadline? The U.S. government's patience is limited. If your country fails to deliver on its commitments, the consequences should be clear! The threat in the words of the American ambassador was very strong.

"Your Excellency, I will report back to Your Excellency the Prime Minister. After that, I will inform you of the decision of the Cabinet. Kazunari Ugaki said. He also knew that the island government had been slow to make a decision, which made the US government very impatient.

After fooling the U.S. ambassador, Ugaki rushed to the Prime Minister's Office to report the situation to Prime Minister Fumiro Konoe.

"Even though we knew from the beginning, Americans are not a good thing. But from now on, it seems that the Americans clearly want to use us as cannon fodder and let us consume the strength of the Germans! Fumiro Konoe said.

The island nation had suffered heavy losses under German attack, and it would have been difficult for them to survive the difficulties if it had not been for the help of the United States, let alone rebuilding a strong army. Politicians in island nations also know that there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. By doing so, the Americans simply wanted to support the island nation against Germany. Even so, they gladly accepted the support of the Americans. Because, at that time, they had no other way. Even if they knew it was a poisonous cake, did they have any other way than to swallow it?

"Your Excellency, the U.S. government is very impatient with our prevarication. If we don't give them a clear answer, I'm afraid they will impose sanctions on us. Kazunari Ugaki reminded.

Konoe Fumi's face suddenly became a little unpleasant. Although, after more than 20 years of development, the island nation has become more powerful than when it was defeated by Germany before. But as the island's prime minister, Fumiro Konoe knows that all this is just a façade. The island nation can be regarded as a weak power at best. Once the United States stops providing support to the island countries and cuts off the trade of large goods such as steel and oil, the island countries will no longer be able to maintain a strong military force. What awaits them will be a collapse.

"Let the land minister, the sea minister, and the Tibetan minister and others come together to discuss!" Fumiro Konoe said. He then arranged for a secretary to inform the other three cabinet ministers to come to the meeting.

The elders of the island nation have all died. Therefore, the power of the island countries is now in the hands of the five ministers of the cabinet. Without the emperor on their heads, these cabinet ministers are really able to decide the policy direction of the island country, and they will not consult the elders on everything as before, as they did before, as if they were puppets controlled by the elders.

Seishiro Itagaki of the land phase, Mitsumasa Yoneuchi of the sea phase, and Narihiro Ikeda of the Tibetan minister quickly rushed to the office of Fumihiro Konoe.

When they learned that the Americans were persecuting them again, their faces were not very good-looking.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, now our military industry, is heavily dependent on the support of the Americans. If the Americans cut off support in this regard, our military strength will be seriously affected. Seishiro Itagaki reminded.

Konoe Fumiro nodded: "So, is there only one way left for us to agree to the Americans' request?" ”

The other cabinet ministers all nodded.

"If we go to war against Germany, will we be able to win?" Fumiro Konoe asked.

"Your Excellency Chancellor, judging by the current situation, the military strength of the Germans is at its peak. Their performance in Burussia was so amazing that in less than a month, they suffered heavy losses in Burussia. If it weren't for the weather, the Germans had stopped their offensive on their own initiative, and they would have achieved much greater success. It is foreseeable that on the battlefield of the Buen-Russia, the Buish-Russian government will have a hard time resisting the German offensive. Even if you want to enter the stalemate stage, I am afraid that it will take a long time and pay a lot of losses. It is very difficult to say whether the anti-German alliance will actually defeat Germany in the end! Seishiro Itagaki said with a serious face.

Indeed, Germany is now in the midst of a prosperous period. No one could be sure that they would be able to defeat Germany. Even though several countries of the anti-German alliance were not weak, Germany seemed to be even stronger. I'm afraid it will take a long time to determine the winner.
