In the early morning of 5 June, the Japanese Prime Minister's office was brightly lit, and the cabinet conference room was filled with high-ranking officials wearing army and navy uniforms. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The Americans used mustard gas bombs!" Lieutenant General Ishihara Wan'er, deputy chief of the Army General Staff, looked at the copy of the telegram sent by the staff officer, and immediately began to shout. "This shows that the Americans are going to fight hard, and this behemoth is going to fight with us...... Unless the empire is willing to make peace with the United States before the complete collapse of the Soviet Union, the empire will be locked in a real bitter war! ”

And Ito Junichi, deputy director of the Navy's Military Command Department, also shouted: "More than 100 American B-29s also dropped terrible incendiary bombs on the Palembang oil field and oil refinery, and now the entire oil refinery has turned into a sea of fire, and the damage to the oil field is not small...... It seems that the Americans have made the greatest determination to fight the imperial state to the death before the collapse of the Soviet Union. ”

The two deputy chiefs of the army and navy have now actually used the same tone to come to the same conclusion.

Although neither of them said that the battle in front of them was boring, but looking at their current expressions and the tone of their speech, they obviously didn't want to fight.

Prime Minister Hideki Tojo just glanced at the two of them coldly, in fact, he didn't want to fight the United States anymore. But what about the Germans? Germany is not the same as it used to be (before June 1st), and people have nuclear fission bombs that are said to be very powerful...... If Japan had made peace with the United States in spite of Germany's opposition, and at the same time had to invade Russia's Far East, who knows if it would have annoyed Hitler and Hersmann and give Japan a dozen atomic bombs to try?

It doesn't matter if you blow everyone here to death, everyone is a loyal minister, and they will definitely become gods after death. But if His Majesty the Emperor is blown up, that big guy will be a sinner of the imperial kingdom for the ages.

Ishihara looked at Hideki Tojo's expressionless appearance and knew that His Excellency the Prime Minister was worried about Germany's reaction. He fully understood this, because Japan must now not only make peace with the United States, but also take over the Soviet Far East. Only in this way will Japan be able to win an external environment in which it can rest and recuperate with peace of mind.

However, the two things that Japan must do now have violated Germany's interests, and perhaps they will really cause Japan and Germany to turn their other ways.

And once Japan and Germany turn their faces, the Soviet Far East may not be able to take it, and Japan may still be hit by atomic bombs......

"Chancellor, now the German Empire needs Japan more than Japan needs the German Empire." "The relationship between the Japanese Empire and the German Empire is similar to that between Mongolia and the Great Song Dynasty in the past, and the United States is the Great Kinkyo Kingdom that dominates the Central Plains. ”

Hideki Tojo glanced at Ishihara, this genius staff officer actually used the allusion of the Southern Song Dynasty alliance in China in the past to talk about the current relations between Japan, Germany and the United States. Did he think that Germany would strike at Japan after defeating the United States?

"It is indispensable to guard against others." "Even if the war with the United States continues, the Imperial Power should receive sufficient remuneration from the Germans in order to accumulate the capital to resist the eastward advance of Europe after the war," Ishihara said. ”

"Remuneration?" Tojo asked, "What kind of pay?" ”

"Heisenberg Device!" "The Reich must possess nuclear fission weapons in order to ensure that it can compete with Europe and the United States after the war, and if Germany is sincere about our Reich, then it should provide the relevant technology for the manufacture of the Heisenberg device." ”

At present, Japan does not have the question of whether or not to build an atomic bomb, only the question of when it can build an atomic bomb.

However, Takeo Yasuda, who was in charge of the matter, told Hideki Tojo after some discussions with Japan's nuclear expert, Yoshio Nishina: Without German technical assistance, it would take at least 15-20 years for Japan to independently build a nuclear fission bomb.

And 15-20 years is too long for Japan, so many people in the Japanese military immediately thought of asking Germany for help.

But how could Germany be willing to share its killer weapon with Japan?

"At least give it a try." Army Chief of Staff Motoya Sugiyama told Tojo, "If the Germans refuse our request, then Japan should also have reservations about future cooperation." ”

"To have a reservation means...... Is it possible to make peace with the United States alone? Hideki Tojo asked.

Yamamoto Isoroku took over Tojo's question: "Your Excellency, if Germany is unwilling to provide Heisenberg devices, the longer their war with the United States continues, the better it will be for our empire...... Our empire can seize the opportunity to seize the Soviet Far East and develop nuclear fission weapons on its own. ”

It seems that the Japanese army and navy have really reached an agreement on the development of the atomic bomb and peace with the United States this time.

"But it will take at least 15 years for Japan to develop its own nuclear fission weapons!" Hideki Tojo frowned bitterly, "The war between the United States and Germany won't last for 15 years anyway, right?" ”

"It's enough to be able to last for 5 years." Yamamoto said, "Although five years is not enough for the Reich to build a nuclear fission bomb, the United States and Germany have fought so hard for so long, and Germany must have suffered a great loss of vitality, and it is impossible to continue to expand without ten years of cultivation." Our empire is using this time to go all out to build a nuclear fission bomb, and only then can it compete with Germany in the future. So ......"

Before Yamamoto's words could be finished, he was interrupted by an officer from the Ministry of War who suddenly broke in, who was running in, his boots clattering on the floor, and the man shouted to report before he could stand still.

“…… The headquarters of the General Defense Army reports that the coastal areas of Fukuoka, Kochi, Aichi, Shizuoka and Miyagi prefectures have been attacked by enemy rocket artillery! The enemy used white phosphorus incendiary bombs and mustard gas gas bombs, causing a large number of casualties and serious fires! ”

There was a sudden dead silence in the conference room, and all the big people were stunned by the news, and after a while, a few army and navy generals jumped up, and the chairs were ping-pong.

"American aircraft carriers! It must be that the American aircraft carrier arrived off the coast of Japan, and your navy didn't even find out, it's so incompetent! ”

A major general of the army did not know if he was anxious because of the attack on the homeland, and he even blamed the navy with one mouth. Although the discord between the Japanese army and navy was well known, the two sides were still in harmony most of the time at the base camp meeting.

"It's not the Navy's fault!" Ito Junichi, vice director of the Navy's Military Command Department, also had a fiery temper, and he didn't buy the army's account at all, and when he glared at it, he said angrily, "The navy has insufficient reconnaissance planes, and there are too many battlefields to take into account, which is ......"

Speaking of this, Ito Junichi suddenly realized that something was wrong, and did not say any more, but glanced at the army Nakasa who reported the news: "Fukuoka Prefecture was also attacked by rockets?" ”

"Yes."

"Are you sure?" Ito asked again.

"Sure!"

"Baga!" Ito scolded one by one, "It wasn't the Americans' planes who did it!" It is impossible for the American aircraft to fly near Fukuoka Prefecture, which is located on the coast of the Tsushima Strait, without being detected, and it is impossible for the American carrier-based aircraft to have such a range. ”

"It wasn't the American planes that did it, but the American ships were firing rockets?" Army Chief Sugiyama Moto's eyes were a little stunned and he looked at Ito and asked.

"It can't be a ship...... "Ito's eyes rolled, "maybe...... Maybe an American submarine! ”

"Submarines?" Hideki Tojo was stunned and stunned, "The submarine can still launch rockets?" ”

"Prime Minister," Ishihara interjected, "since we can think of putting planes on submarines, it's not surprising that the Americans think of putting rocket artillery on them. But......" Ishihara glanced at a few admirals in white uniforms in the conference room, "but the Americans' method seems to be better than ours!" ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six listened to Ishihara's words, and his face was slightly hot. He now has the same opinion, the cost of the I-400 submarine with an underwater displacement of 6,560 tons is really expensive, but the role is only a sneak attack. Installing rocket artillery on ordinary ocean-going submarines like the Americans can have the effect of sneak attacks, and the cost is much cheaper.

But Ito's face was a little ugly, he frowned tightly and said: "The Americans will definitely launch more attacks, Japan is an island country after all, the coastline is too long, there are too many coastal towns, and the navy has too few destroyers, and the anti-submarine reconnaissance aircraft are not enough ......"

Japan has about 30,000 kilometers of coastline, and now we add Korea, South Sakhalin, Taiwan, and the Kanto Prefecture Concession, for a total of 40,000 kilometers. How could the destroyers and anti-submarine patrol planes that relied on Japan be able to defend themselves?

Moreover, Japanese destroyers still have to fight and escort, how can they all be used to protect the coastline of the mainland?

Just when the naval leaders in the conference room felt that something was in their hands, Ishihara suddenly interjected again, which immediately scared everyone stupid.

Ishihara said: "Will the Americans use rocket artillery from submarines to drop bacteriological weapons?" ”

Definitely! All of them immediately came up with the exact same answer in their minds.

The Americans are now even using mustard gas, what else is there to worry about with bacteriological weapons? And the Americans must have bacteriological weapons, even if they didn't have them before, now they can find some bacteria dropped by Japan to multiply.

Perhaps, the Americans have already used bacteriological weapons against Oahu and the Japanese mainland, but there is an incubation period for bacteriological weapons, and those who are recruited do not get sick so quickly! And this bacteriological weapon may not pose much threat to the imperial army on Oahu, after all, the troops stationed in Hawaii have considered retaliation with bacteriological weapons, so they have stockpiled large quantities of anthrax and plague vaccines.

However, Japan does not have enough vaccines to vaccinate the entire population, and if the Americans use bacteriological weapons in disregard of international justice, the consequences may be quite serious!
