Chapter 1145: The Abacus of the Island People (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Several important ministers in the cabinet of the island did not look very good. Indeed, the Germans were so strong in this battle that they had no confidence that they would be able to stand up to them. The decisions they make will affect the fate of the island nation. So, they had to be extra cautious.

No one wants to lose, especially a country like an island nation, whose fate is already tied in the future war. If it loses, then the island nation will have no future at all.

"Regardless of Germany's strength in Europe and other theaters of war, what about Nanyang and Australia alone? If we attack, will we be able to win? Fumiro Konoe asked.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Germans are also very strong militarily in the South Seas and Australia. The first is their navy. The Pacific Fleet has eight battleships and four aircraft carriers under its control. The Indian Ocean Fleet has 7 battleships and 4 aircraft carriers. Although, the battleships equipped by the German Navy were all old battleships that had been in service for more than twenty years or even almost thirty years. But these battleships have already undergone modern modifications, and their combat power has increased a lot. Secondly, those aircraft carriers of the Germans, which were very strong in combat power. The performance of the fighter is also very advanced. If the Imperial Navy attacks with all its might, I'm afraid the victory or defeat will be between five and five! Mitsumasa Yoneuchi, the prime minister of the sea, said.

Although the strength of the island country's navy is now very strong, with 12 battleships and four battlecruisers, most of them are the world's top capital ships. Four of the world's most powerful 'Yamato-class' battleships are still under construction. In terms of aircraft carriers, the island navy has eight more in service, and three more are under construction. More advanced aircraft carriers will also be mass-produced in the later stage. In terms of aircraft carrier-based aircraft, the Zero carrier-based fighter has also entered service. This has further strengthened the strength of the island nation's navy.

But the German Navy has been the world hegemon for more than 20 years! The strength of the German Navy is well known. Whether or not the powerful Germany can be defeated, the navies of the island countries are not confident of victory.

Seishiro Itagaki did not laugh at Mitsumasa Yonechi. Although the navy did not have the confidence to defeat the German navy, why was it the same for the army of the island nation? Although the strength of the army of the island country is very strong, after analyzing the performance of the German army on the battlefield of Burussia, the generals of the army of the island country are equally speechless. Because they suddenly found that the army of the island nation seemed to be still stuck in the last world war. Compared with the German Army, there is naturally a very big gap.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the German Army has increased its forces in the South Seas. At present, the strength of the German Army in Nanyang has reached two group armies with more than 400,000 troops, and there are also two group armies in Australia with more than 400,000 troops. In addition, they recruited a large number of colonial troops in the South Seas, totaling millions of them. If the navy can defeat the German navy, the army can certainly attack the South Seas and Australia. However, it will be very difficult to defeat the German Army. And, it will come at a very high cost. Seishiro Itagaki said.

Itagaki Seishiro's meaning is very obvious, if you want to attack Nanyang and Australia, then the navy must win first. If the Navy cannot win, then everything is empty talk. Moreover, the Germans had apparently strengthened their military presence in the South Seas and Australia. If the island nation wants to defeat Germany in the South Seas and Australia, it will have to pay a greater price.

Prime Minister Fumiro Konoe felt a little pain in his head. Obviously, he found that even if he attacked the South Seas and Australia, it would not be so easy to win!

Originally, Konoe Fumiro also believed that the military strength of the island nation had become very strong after the development of these years. Even if it is not as good as Germany, the gap will not be too big. But now he knows that everything is that he is too optimistic.

"Gentlemen, we must make a decision as soon as possible. I am afraid that the patience of the Americans has been almost worn out by us. If we delay any longer, they will probably take action. At that time, this will have a great impact on our relationship with the United States. If we want to get more support from the United States, I'm afraid it will be very difficult. Kazunari Ugaki reminded.

Prime Minister Konoe nodded, glanced at the cabinet ministers, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, even if the Germans are strong, I'm afraid we need to make a choice. If we are to attack the South Seas and Australia, I hope that the navy and the army will be able to exert all their strength. That's how we can win. If we can successfully win Nanyang and Australia, then we will be able to get the resources we want. When the time comes, maybe you won't be stuck by the Americans anymore! ”

For the resources of the South China Sea and Australia, the island countries have always been salivating. It is precisely because of the scarcity of domestic resources that the industrial and economic development of island countries are heavily dependent on external resources. If this problem can be fundamentally solved, then the island countries will once again take off and achieve further development.

Seishiro Itagaki and Mitsumasa Yonechi both nodded solemnly. They also know that war is inevitable. If the decision to go to war is made, then for the sake of the fate of the island nation, they will have to go all out.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, can we consider this issue from a different angle?" Tibetan Prime Minister Ikeda Chengbin said suddenly.

Everyone looked at Ikeda, as if to see what he really thought.

"Judging by the current situation, it seems that Germany is a little more likely to win the war. Although, there is an indelible deep hatred between us and the Germans. However, there are never eternal friends between countries, and naturally there are no eternal enemies. So, this time, can we join the camp of the Germans and go to war against Burussia and even the United States? Ikeda said.

Fumiro Konoe and others all felt that Ikeda's view was a bit too whimsical. However, if you think about it, they also feel that there is a lot of feasibility in this. If successful, the island nation may be able to avoid defeat in future wars and become victors. In that case, the island nation will achieve greater development.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of Ikeda-kun's suggestion?" Fumiro Konoe asked. In his own opinion, this seems to be a good way to find a different way. If it succeeds, perhaps the island nation will be able to get out of its current predicament.
