"Prince Bogong, is there something wrong with you?" Yamamoto Fifty-six looked at him in surprise and asked.

"Yamamoto-kun, I really have something to tell you!" Prince Fushimi Palace Bogong nodded, and then saw that there were too many people on the left and right, and couldn't help but say: "Let's borrow a step to talk!" ”

Seeing that Prince Fushimi Miyahiro was so mysterious, Yamamoto Fifty-six was a little puzzled, but he nodded anyway and walked with him to a secluded place.

"Prince Bogong, if there is anything, just say it!" Yamamoto asked.

"Yamamoto-kun, are you really determined to go to war with the United States?" Prince Fushimi Miyahiro Kyoshi stared at him tightly and asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Yamamoto Fifty-six sighed, looked at him a little helplessly, shook his head and said, "Prince Bogong, it's not me who can't start a war, but in the United States!" ”

"If our empire wants to have a future, it must go south, and if it goes south, with the current strategy of the United States, there must be a war between us! Since we knew that there was a war, could it be that we just sit back and wait until the time of the matter before we find a way to fight back? ”

"This is not the standard of conduct of our empire!"

"Prince Bogong, you also attended the meeting before, and you must have heard it very clearly, now our empire has no time to wait, and we are not qualified to wait without the ability to wait and fight with others!"

"We only have one year of oil reserves left, if we can't open up the situation within this year, when our fleet breaks anchor and our fighters can't move, at that time, what ability does our empire have to expand its territory? To accomplish His Majesty's goals? ”

"I'm afraid that at that time, we won't even be able to defend our own homeland!"

"This ......" Listening to Yamamoto Fifty-six's words, Prince Fushimi Miyahiro was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say: "How can this be so? Isn't it possible that we can't have a good talk with the United States? You also know their strength, you know even better than me, once the war starts, our empire will definitely be defeated! ”

"Prince Bogong!"

Yamamoto's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he said in a deep voice: "You are also a naval general, and you also know what the consequences will be if we don't have resources!" I know that too! ”

"I know the consequences of a war with the United States, but I know even more what the consequences will be if we don't have the resources!"

"On the mainland, the Republic of China is developing rapidly, if we don't become strong and don't plunder resources, haven't you thought about it, in case, if the Republic of China rises, if they hit our door, what will we do if we don't have resources at that time?"

"Is it possible to let them hit our homeland?"

"Why not!" Prince Bogong said bitterly.

"Why? Will it come to this point, you and I both know in our hearts, why deceive ourselves! Yamamoto Fifty-six snorted coldly and said: "After a few years of fighting, we have offended the Republic of China to death, let me ask, if you see that your mortal enemy is extremely weak, will you go up and step on it?" Will you fall into the trap? ”

"Our empire has now reached a dead end with no turning back! The war situation on the mainland has been frustrated, and the policy of going north has been frustrated, so we can only choose to go south! This is the last and only way we can go! ”

"If we don't want to sit still, we can only give it a go!"

"Even if there is America in the south, even if I risk dragging it into the water, I have to do it! Our empire must do the same! Yamamoto Fifty-six said in a deep voice: "I know this, the generals of other naval provinces also know it, even the army generals also know it!" ”

"Otherwise, do you think my proposal in front of Your Majesty today would have passed so easily? At the meeting, except for the Prime Minister, don't forget, Kuniaki Koiso has not spoken! Obviously, he knew very well in his heart, and it was precisely because of this that he did not stop it! ”

"Prince Bogong, haven't you understood this until now?"

Yamamoto Fifty-six glanced at Prince Bogong with some disappointment.

Although this person is a royal family, he has little ability, if it weren't for his bloodline, I'm afraid he wouldn't have the ability to do this position at all.

Thinking of this, Yamamoto Fifty-six couldn't help but secretly think in his heart, it seems that he needs to think of a way to transfer this person out of his combined fleet in the future, otherwise it will be useless to keep him in the fleet!

Thinking of this, his eyes flashed slightly, and then he said something again, perfunctory him, and then he withdrew proudly.

Yamamoto Fifty-six has a lot of things to do, and he really doesn't have time to talk nonsense with this person.

……

The matter on the side of the Japanese army came to an end for the time being, and at this time in the Republic of China, in Changsha, in the area north of Changsha, the war was still going on.

Since the beginning of the war, the fierce war has never stopped.

The Japanese army was in a hurry to break through, and the defenders swore to block it, and its tragedy could be said to be even more brutal than the previous war of annihilation.

And when the large forces besieging the 6th Division and the 101st Division turned around and joined the siege of the Japanese army, the battle situation finally reached a tragic peak!

The 50,000 troops finally drawn from the Central China Front of the Japanese Army, under the command of Okamura Ninji personally arrived at the front, all the Japanese troops already knew their future fate, so they had to fight hard, burst out with all their combat effectiveness, and planned to fight their way out.

However, despite the gunfire of the Japanese army, the Ninth Theater was not a vegetarian.

Under the command of General Xue Yue, he knew that this battle had reached the most critical moment, and no matter how much effort he put in, he would continue to fight.

Therefore, in the face of the frantic attack of the Japanese army, although the defenders suffered heavy losses, General Xue Yue still held on and replaced the disabled troops one by one.

When each unit goes up, most of them are still in a state of full strength, but they often can't hold out for a day or two before they are crippled and have to retreat, and even many troops are in the most accumulated core combat zone, and often the entire army is beaten and even the formation is scattered.

That's not bad!

Many troops didn't even have a chance to withdraw, and they were wiped out when they went up!

Until now, the final battle has lasted five days, and the casualties on the defenders' side have reached a terrifying 60,000!

At least 60,000 were either momentarily or seriously injured and had to retreat.

It can be said that the losses are very huge!

These losses made all the defending generals red-eyed!

In the past five days, almost every general's subordinates have suffered heavy losses, and almost every one of his subordinates has several units that have been disabled or scattered.

They are all gritting their teeth and holding on! Hold on!
