Chapter 423 is another conspiracy
Disaster, this is a disaster from heaven!
The room was very dull, and Prime Minister Fumima Konoe and Hideki Tojo did not speak, but their faces were extremely gloomy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Suddenly, Hideki Tojo's hideous face roared, "No! He shouldn't have done this, this time in the Indochina War, the imperial army never provoked the Northland volunteers, and tried to bypass their army.
In the Burma battlefield, the imperial army attacked north, and when it found the traces of the northern volunteers in front of it, it immediately stopped its advance. The Imperial Army is like this, why does Fengtian still have to fight against the Imperial Army, this is not fair. β
Prime Minister Fumima Konoe also spoke: "Mr. Sim, since Germany has dealings with the Northland Volunteers, we should persuade Fengtian that the Empire intends to maintain friendly relations with the Northland Volunteers, for the sake of the United States, why bother the Imperial Army." β
Ambassador Sim spread his hands and said: "Yes, Germany has always maintained economic relations with Fengtian, but this time it was the Nationalist Government that joined the camp of the allies and declared war with Germany, Italy and Japan. The closure was passive, and Germany seemed unable to prevent it from happening.
The Northland Volunteers are a local armed force, and it seems inappropriate not to take military action in consideration of the public opinion in the country.
Besides, your country is not without cooperation with the Northland Volunteers, and it is quite good, all the logistics supplies on the Siberian battlefield are provided by the Northland Volunteers, and the service is quite thoughtful, in this respect, the Northland Volunteers have done a good job and are very credible. β
Prime Minister Fumima Konoe thinks about it, what Sim said is really reasonable, the whole country has declared war, and I am afraid that a local armed force will not be able to stay out of the matter, although the military group of Fengtian is very strong, it must also obey the will of the people.
However, the Empire really didn't want to go to war with the Northland Volunteers again.
No, this catastrophe must be prevented.
So, Prime Minister Fumima Konoe said, "Mr. Sim, you Germany must find a way to stop the Northland Volunteers from attacking the Japanese army in Indochina.
At present, the imperial army is attacking the west coast of the United States with all its might, and it is no longer capable of opening up new battlefields.
Mr. Sim, let's be honest, for this war, the empire is like a taut tightrope, almost broken.
In addition to the war in Indochina, the country also has to ensure the war supply on the west coast of the United States, manpower, material resources and resources, almost everything has reached the limit, who knows that day it will not be able to hold on.
What's more, it is still a powerful Northland Volunteer Army, if there is a war, the empire will definitely not be able to withstand it. Fortunately, the logistics supply of the Siberian battlefield was handed over to the Far Eastern Company, otherwise, the empire would not have been able to hold up the third-front operation. β
"Slow, just now you said that the Far East Company, yes, we have all ignored an important issue, your country and the Northland Volunteers are belligerents, which is not bad at all, but Feng Tian is a greedy guy for money, and he can actually do business with your country, which shows his mentality?
The logistical pressure in your country is too great, this is a reality, why not follow the example of the Siberian battlefield and continue to cooperate with Fengtian?
In this case, the pressure at home will be lessened, and you will go all out to support the war on the West Coast of the United States. If it is profitable to seal the sky, things will be easier to do, and things that are beneficial to both parties, so why not do it? β
When War Minister Hideki Tojo heard Ambassador Sim's words, his heart was in a trance, and he asked, "What Ambassador Sim means is that if the Empire and Fengtian continue to trade in Indochina, he will not send troops to Indochina to attack the Imperial Army, right?" β
Ambassador Sim waved his hand and said, "I was inspired by what Mr. Prime Minister just said, and if there is a deal between the two sides, there is certainly room for dΓ©tente in the relationship." However, people don't make a profit from you, you pay for him and he pays for the materials, this is just a deal.
Therefore, this alone cannot stop the Northland Volunteers from taking action, after all, he still has some explanation to the outside world.
Actually, this point is very easy to do, your country has conceded a certain area of the Indochina Peninsula, and on the surface the Northland Volunteers have won victories in the Indochina Peninsula, but in fact, there has not been much confrontation between the two sides. In this case, Feng Tian will be easy to explain to the outside world, and no one will have anything to say. β
Ambassador Sim's words immediately made the eyes of Prime Minister Fumima Konoe and Minister of War Hideki Tojo brighten, yes, this method may really solve the problem.
Konoe Fumima was the prime minister, and before making a decision, he first had to seek the opinion of the Minister of War, Hideki Tojo, and asked: "Tojo-kun, do you think this method is feasible, the Imperial Army has cederated a piece of territory in the Indochina Peninsula, and the Imperial Army has retreated against the Northern Volunteers, and the Northern Volunteers have been victorious. If possible, the German side will act as an intermediary and the parties will reach an agreement. β
War Minister Hideki Tojo nodded and said, "If you can say that you can move the heavens, this method can be tried." β
In fact, the most willing is Tojo Hideki, once the war breaks out in the Indochina Peninsula, he doesn't count how much Japanese army can be left.
In that case, the reinforcement of troops in Indochina will inevitably become a top priority.
But does the empire have so many troops?
Don't forget that there are other battlefields in the Empire, do you want the American battlefield? Well, there is also the Siberian battlefield, if the war is fierce, it cannot be ruled out that Fengtian will eat the Far Eastern Army of the Empire.
can ease relations with Fengtian, even if there is a little hope, Tojo Hideki is willing.
Seeing that the Minister of War also agreed to this approach, Prime Minister Konoe Fumima continued to ask: "Then, you see which region to choose to retreat is better, I am afraid that it will be difficult to impress Fengtian if the place is small, and if it is big, the empire will suffer too much, and this still needs to be grasped to a degree." β
War Minister Hideki Tojo lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "The southern coastal area of the Indochina Peninsula cannot be allowed, and the imperial army must connect the coastal areas together.
If they wanted to, the imperial army could only choose the northern part of the Indochina Peninsula and give up the areas close to the Chinese border.
Laos and North Vietnam, for example, had the Northland Volunteers separate the Imperial Army from the Nationalist Army. Moreover, if the Northland Volunteers occupy this area, probably President Chiang will also be at peace in his heart, maybe something will happen in the future? β
I have to say that War Minister Hideki Tojo thought very far ahead, and even took into account the contradictions between Fengtian and the Nationalist Government.
Prime Minister Fumima Konoe immediately reacted to the intention of the Minister of War Hideki Tojo, smiled mysteriously at Hideki Tojo, and said, "Shout, Tojo-kun's plan is very good, and if the emperor agrees, this matter will be decided." β
"Yes, we must ask for the emperor's consent on this matter, and we must also communicate with other parties. Avoiding war with the Northland Volunteers is in line with the Empire's strategic intentions, and I think that's pretty much fine. β
After Prime Minister Fumima Konoe reached an agreement with the Minister of War, he said to the German ambassador Sim: "Mr. Sim, if there is a consensus within the Empire, this matter will have to be troubled by Mr. Sim, and it will be up to Germany to persuade him." The Asian theater of war is a matter of interest to the Axis Powers as a whole, and strategically the Empire is to continue to advance westward and join up with the European armies of the Axis Powers. β
German Ambassador Sim nodded and said, "Mr. Prime Minister, please rest assured that the German side is very aware of the implications, and we will do our best to persuade Fengtian to accept this plan." I hope this play is more realistic, and the Americans will be happy, hahaha. β
Another big conspiracy, the Americans tried their best to promote the opening of the Asian theater, I am afraid that they will go astray.
