Chapter 057: The Japanese Countermeasures
Hirohito looked at the report in his hand, which described the current situation of immigrants in Japan, and with the end of the war with China, Japan had no more war in the west, and they only had to deal with the threat from the United States.
After China regained the Trans-Khingan Mountains, Japan's sense of crisis became more and more serious, and now as long as the sun goes down in the entire Japanese archipelago, they can feel the shadow of China's huge continent covering the Japanese archipelago.
The Japanese government and the Japanese people feel an unprecedented crisis, but they do not have any repentance for the crimes committed against the Chinese people back then, they are just constantly complaining about the unfairness of God, why Japan has worked hard for a hundred years and still can't get much living space, and the space of the Chinese once turned over and immediately doubled, if calculated according to the territory of China before 1930, the territory obtained by China after turning over is dozens of times that of Japan itself, and these territories were obtained in just two yearsοΌ
In contrast, Japan spent nearly 30 years to acquire Taiwan, nearly 50 years to acquire the Korean Peninsula, and 70 years to acquire the three eastern provinces.
After 80 years of confusion, Southeast Asia was acquired, but half of these regions were quickly lost, and so far, the territory that Japan has spent 80 years trying to gain is only the size of the territory that China has acquired in the past two years, and they are dissatisfied, they are jealous, intensely jealous, on what basis, on what basis,
Under Hirohito's call, the Japanese entered the era of great migration, and they have now emigrated 10 million people to Southeast Asia.
Because the war was going on, they walked close to the coastal areas of China, so they played a side game, and the Japanese drove fishing boats without looking at the Chinese ships, and set off towards Southeast Asia with a full load of people, and every day, whether it was day or night, the Chinese warships and fools could see the Japanese fleet, and it was almost certainly full of Japanese,
More than 500,000 people have died unnaturally in the Japanese because of this, but no one does not take a boat to Southeast Asia because of fear, the consequences of not going are very serious, you will be looked down upon by your neighbors, and the government does not care whether you live or die, the land will be confiscated, and the property will be confiscated, but if you go to Southeast Asia, there will be a large amount of land.
Originally, he planned to emulate the serfdom reform of Tsarist Russia and let the peasants pay enough money to obtain land, but the change in the situation forced the Japanese government to make changes.
And those natives in Southeast Asia suffered again, the plague took many people's lives, and now the Japanese have not only increased a large amount of various taxes in order to immigrate, but also openly occupied fertile land, and then they understood that Japan was giving these lands to the Japanese people.
The natives feel that they can't eat enough and sleep well, and the Japanese often kill people at will, and don't treat them as human beings at all.
The Indonesians are now discovering that Japan is much worse than the Dutch, compared to the previous Chinese is 108,000 miles apart, after the Chinese left, their life is not better, but worse, first the plague, and now directly facing the massacre and expulsion of the Japanese,
At first, they were very grateful to the Japanese for helping them drive away the Dutch, and continued to encourage them to harm the Chinese and rob the Chinese of their property, and they did have a good time in those days, but as the war turned out to be more and more unfavorable to the Japanese, the Japanese began to collect all kinds of taxes on them in private hypocritical masks, and more and more, at first it was still a situation of persuasion, but now it is directly not nonsense, and if you don't pay, you will be killed,
The Indonesians want to cry without tears, they have nothing to hand over, and if the Japanese want to let them pay again, it is better to kill them and make pork to eat.
Indonesians really miss the days of the Dutch, although the days were not good at that time, but they were still hungry to death, and the Dutch would not kill people at every turn.
The Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Japan, Hirohito read the report and said: "The results of our efforts are good, and now we have emigrated 10 million people to Southeast Asia, but there are still 60 million people in the empire itself, and our task is still very heavy, and the industrial base of the Philippines and Indonesia should be accelerated, otherwise once China and Japan start a war, Japan's industry will be destroyed quickly." β
Yamamoto Fifty-six said: "Your Majesty don't worry, everything is fine on the Indonesian side, but we have to fight with the United States and take precautions against China, so we can't be careless about immigration." β
Hirohito said, "What's going on with the Americans?" β
"There's no news yet."
"Hmm." Hirohito nodded and said, "Yamamoto Qing, if the sea, land and air are all at your disposal, and you fight with the United States, how long will it take you to take Australia." β
Before Yamamoto Fifty-six could speak, the other Japanese officers exploded, and the navy, army, and air force were all dispatched by Yamamoto Fifty-six, so didn't Yamamoto fifty-six become the generalissimo of the navy, land and air force?
There was a whisper below, and there were all kinds of reactions, but Yamamoto Fifty-six's face was not easy, the contradiction between the two armies began in the Meiji period, where is Hirohito's words, after thinking for a while, Yamamoto Fifty-six said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple." "Don't dare to look up at Hirohito,
Hirohito knew Yamamoto Fifty-six's difficulty, he waved his hand and said, "That's it." "Actually, Hirohito can reprimand the army, but he knows that reprimanding is useless, the people of the army, from officers to soldiers, look down on the navy from their bones, and it will not help to forcibly twist the two armies together,
For the contradiction between the navy and the army, he knows better than anyone that the Meiji Emperor did this is nothing more than to let the navy and the army contain each other, so as not to endanger the imperial power like the shogunate, he did not expect that now it has become the biggest stumbling block hindering the development of the empire, originally he also admired this policy of the Meiji Emperor, today he has to reflect, but now it is not possible to reflect, it is too late,
Hirohito turned his head and asked Hideki Tojo: "The army has been fighting in Australia for a few months, and I am fortunate to know it, but when the army will be able to take Australia, the danger of the empire is all about this." β
Tojo Hideki said in his heart: "Your sister, do you think Lao Tzu doesn't want to, pretending to be here all day long." However, Hideki Tojo said with a very humble face: "Your Majesty, the Americans' weapons and equipment are really much more advanced than the Empire, and they are far superior to us in terms of quantity, especially the aircraft, which cannot master air supremacy, although the Imperial soldiers are heroic, but the messy incendiary bombs invented by the Americans will separate the Imperial soldiers with fire, and the Imperial soldiers will not be able to charge at all......
Hirohito suppressed his anger and said: "What I want to know is when you will be able to take Australia, not for you to complain, if you just want to complain, then what does the empire want you to do." β
Hirohito was not angry and arrogant, and Hideki Tojo was silent and did not dare to speak,
Yamamoto Isoroku wanted to make the relationship between the Navy and the Army a little better, so that it would be beneficial to Japan, "Your Majesty, the industrial strength of the United States is obvious to all, they have what they want at home, not to mention the support of Canada, Mexico and other Latin American countries, whether it is the economy or military equipment, they are far superior to us, so the professional cannot be blamed on the Army." β
"I think now we can only make other preparations while negotiating, if the negotiation can be won, it will be good, if the negotiation cannot be won then we can only start."
"My suggestion is that China will not defeat the Soviet Union so quickly with Germany, we will negotiate with the United States, at least for a period of peace, we can immigrate a large number of Southeast Asian islands such as the Philippines, and make every effort to establish a sound industrial system on these islands, the Americans are held back by us, and they will not be able to fight against Germany with all their might, if we can take the initiative to stop, their focus should be shifted to Europe, the Americans will not watch the Soviet Union perish, without the containment of the Soviet Union, Next time, the United States will have to face Germany's five million elite German troops in Eastern Europe alone, so I don't think they will go to war easily. β
Hirohito said: "Yamamoto, I know that you are loyal and are comforting me, I know that it is not that easy, but there seems to be no good way right now." β
"Tojo-kiyo."
"Hay."
"Your army cooperates well with the navy, even if you don't know yourself, but also for your family, the contradiction between the empire and China cannot be reconciled, there can only be one strong country in Asia, either China or Japan, but China's strength, especially the strength of the army, they have a population of 500 million, and there will be more in the future, they have a huge land column, countless resources, but these empires do not, if you don't take advantage of China's not yet fully rising, if you wait for him to develop the navy, Then the end of the empire is really coming, and your family may not be spared at that time, and the Nanjing incident and other such incidents were all done by your army, I am afraid that if the empire loses, they will not let your family go. β
"Hay." Hideki Tojo was in a cold sweat, just now his thinking was still in the dispute between the navy and the army, but by Hirohito, his thinking became clear,
"Your Majesty, the life and death of the Great Japanese Empire is the life and death of the ministers, the ease of the Great Japanese Empire is the honor of the ministers, and it is also the honor and life of countless armies, we will definitely cooperate sincerely with the navy to plant the sun flag of the empire in the world, and we will definitely let the glory of Your Majesty shine on all the people of the world, so that they can enjoy Your Majesty's blessings."
Hirohito said with satisfaction: "It's good that you can think so, the empire depends on you, do a good job." β
In the world, Hideki Tojo scolded the Hirohito family one hundred and eighty times, and it was not you and Yamamoto Fifty-six who lost so many places in China at the beginning, but it was recaptured at the expense of hundreds of thousands of army soldiers, and now if there is a mistake, blame the army, what is the way of the world,
Looking at Yamamoto Fifty-six's honest face, how disgusting and disgusting, Hideki Tojo looks down on this dwarf winter melon, and he doesn't understand anything and pretends to understand here, if it weren't for this guy, Japan wouldn't be so bad, and China has no chance to get up.
