Chapter 1150: The Determination of the Island Country (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Your Excellency, the U.S. government is very angry at your government's attempt to betray the anti-German alliance and join the Allied powers. We hope that your Government will think about it. Let's not forget that the support of the U.S. government is indispensable to the island nation that it is today. We don't want the two countries to become enemies! "The U.S. ambassador to the island nation has a hostile face.
Kazunari Ugaki, the foreign minister of the island, was full of wry smiles in his heart. He also doesn't know why the Americans would find out so quickly. However, this is obviously absolutely unacceptable. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Your Excellency, the island nation is a grateful country. We remember all the help the U.S. government has given us over the years. We will never betray the anti-German alliance. We hope that those things that catch the wind and shadow will not affect the relations between our two countries! Kazunari Ugaki said.
"I hope so! My Government is confident that your Government will make the right choice! The U.S. ambassador said coldly.
After repeatedly assuring the island nation that it would not betray the United States, Ugaki Kazunari sent the American ambassador away.
After that, he hurriedly hung up a phone call to the Prime Minister's Office, and then rushed to the Prime Minister's Office by car to report the situation to Fumiro Konoe. He knew that this problem had to be solved. Otherwise, it will have a huge impact on the island nation.
When Kazunari Ugaki arrived at the Prime Minister's Office, several other cabinet ministers also arrived. It's just that everyone obviously already knows about it, and their faces are not very good-looking. In particular, the Tibetan Prime Minister Ikeda Naribin came up with the idea of contacting the Germans. And now that's what happened. Therefore, if he is to be held responsible, he obviously can't run.
"Gentlemen, everyone must already know what happened, right? The U.S. government had learned of our secret contacts with Germany and began to ask for the guilt. Prime Minister Fumiro Konoe said.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, this is my responsibility. I didn't expect it to turn out like this! Ikeda immediately admitted his mistake.
"Ikeda-kun, you are also acting for the good of the Empire. So, it's not your fault for this! Konoe shook his head. When I first approached the German government, it was a matter agreed by the Cabinet, and it was clear that Mr. Ikeda could not be blamed alone.
"Yes! I could feel that there was a conspiracy in this. Our contacts with the Germans were originally carried out in secret. Now, it is known to the Americans. There is no doubt that the Germans did it. They want us to fall out with the United States. In that case, the situation will be more favorable to them. Mitsumasa Yoneuchi, the prime minister of the sea, said.
Several other cabinet ministers also expressed their views that the incident was a German conspiracy.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about it, what should we do now? The Americans have already warned us. We obviously don't have time to think about anything else. Fumiro Konoe said.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we have already analyzed that the road to joining the Allies has been blocked by the Germans. If they are willing to give us the two colonies of Nanyang and Australia. We might as well take a risk. However, the Germans did not agree to give us the South Seas and Australia, and only agreed to our occupation of the territory of Burussia. Therefore, the Germans will never live in peace with us. Between us and the Germans, there will inevitably be a war. If we wait until the Germans have defeated the Russians and the United States before going to war with them, we have basically no chance of winning. Only when the United States and Brazzaville and Russia still exist and are still strong will we have a chance of winning! Seishiro Itagaki said.
"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. Now, we have no choice. Only according to the original plan, the war against Germany was launched. Although, the Germans were very strong. However, if we can do our best with the United States and with Brazzaville and Russia, we may not have a chance to defeat Germany. After all, none of our countries are weak countries. At the critical juncture of the country's life and death, everyone will definitely no longer have something to hide. In this case, there will still be some chance of defeating Germany! Mitsumasa Yonechi also said.
At this time, the secretary of the Prime Minister's Office walked in and whispered a few words in the ear of Prime Minister Fumihiro Konoe.
Suddenly, Prime Minister Konoe Fumi's face became quite ugly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, just now, the Americans ordered to stop exporting large quantities of goods to us. Obviously, the Americans are warning us! Fumiro Konoe said.
"Damn, the Americans are pushing us! Your Excellency Prime Minister, we urgently need those goods that the Americans export. The construction of the "Yamato-class" battleships also requires special steel imported from the United States! Mitsumasa Yoneuchi, the prime minister of the sea, said.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, we need to make the United States urgently need to support us no matter what. Otherwise, our military power will be greatly weakened. Seishiro Itagaki also said.
Konoe Fumiro nodded, the Americans did this, undoubtedly pinching the seven inches of the island country.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that we have no other way but to compromise with the Americans. However, there was no way around it, and we decided to compromise with them. Konoe Fumiro smiled bitterly.
"Ugaki-kun, contact the Americans and tell them that we are preparing to attack the Germans. Let them restore the supply of resources to us! Fumiro Konoe said.
"Your Excellency, I am afraid that such a sentence alone will not convince the Americans!" Ugaki Kazunari was a little embarrassed.
Fumiro Konoe thought for a moment, glanced at Seishiro Itagaki and Mitsumasa Yonechi, and then said, "How much time does it take for the army and navy to be ready for war?" ”
"Your Excellency, if the army is to start mobilizing, it will take three months to be ready for war!" Seishiro Itagaki said. The army of the island nation now has only forty standing divisions. If you want to launch an attack on Nanyang and Australia, you will undoubtedly need more troops. At the very least, the size of the army should be expanded to hundreds of divisions. That way, they will have a chance of winning.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Navy also needs three months to prepare!" Mitsumasa Minai said. The combined fleet is to be regrouped. The various materials that need to be consumed in the war also need to be prepared, and these all take time.
"Well, tell the Americans. Three months later, before the end of January 1940, we will launch an attack on the South Seas. The United States must continue to support us in terms of resources. Otherwise, it will seriously affect our war potential! Fumiro Konoe said.
"Hi, Your Excellency Prime Minister!" Kazunari Ugaki nodded.
