Chapter 1 and Chapter 5 Move the Capital

Tokyo, Japan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A long convoy slowly entered the heavily guarded port area, and the naval and army generals of the staff headquarters and the military command department of the Japanese army headquarters gathered on both sides of the road, and everyone was fanatical in their eyes.

"Ishihara's family, is it really okay for me to leave Tokyo at this time?"

In a limousine in the center, Emperor Hirohito sat side by side with Chief of Staff Ishihara Wanji in the back seat, talking softly. Today's Hirohito, wearing a pair of gold-wire glasses, a black suit, and high-button leather shoes, looks very jing.

"Your Majesty"

Ishihara said respectfully: "The cold winter of the archipelago is coming soon, and now that the climate in Australia is positive, I believe that Your Majesty will have a happy Christmas and New Year there......"

Speaking of this, Ishihara lowered his voice and said:

"The resources of the Empire do not allow this war to go on without limit, therefore, to do our best and the United States, is our only hope for peace

"In the more than 200 years since the founding of the United States, the territory has never been attacked, and if we suddenly attack the territory of the United States, and let it learn a terrible lesson, it will not necessarily cause a rift within this country of immigrants and achieve unexpected results."

Hirohito sighed: "Can the war really develop as we expected?" The Americans are so highly industrialized, and they are fighting on their own soil, if the offensive is unfavorable and millions of troops are trapped on the American continent, everything will be over."

"But—"

Ishihara said: "Your Majesty, if we don't give it a go at this time, we may suffer a fiasco As you said, the industrial strength of the United States is too strong, even if we temporarily cut off the supply of materials to Latin America, but its abundant strategic reserves are enough for their factories to maintain production for several years......

"The United States itself is a big country with resources, its iron ore, copper ore, bauxite, zinc ore, primary magnesium production ranks among the top in the world, oil, natural gas and coal resources are inexhaustible, and now it has developed synthetic rubber to replace natural rubber, once we retreat, after the United States is assured to attack, it can completely adopt the 'leapfrog tactics' to besiege our troops on the islands in the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, and its main force will go straight to the islands, and we will be defeated without a fight without strategic depth."

"Ishihara's house"

Hirohito was resolute in his heart, and turned his head to look at the man beside him who was praised by the people as the "god of war": "The degree of mechanization of our army, you also know, if you encounter American tank and armored clusters in the plains of the Americas, how to resist it?" Rather than spending troops far from the mainland, it is better to shrink the defense on the mainland and the Australian mainland, and perhaps win a chance."

"Not True"

Ishihara shook his head, his face full of determination: "Your Majesty, you don't understand the nature of war. War is a life-and-death contest, and it is an expression of the effective application of a country's national strength

"If, on the other hand, war breaks out on the enemy's territory, we can destroy the enemy's economy, weaken the enemy's war potential, feed the war with war, and obtain all kinds of resources that we desperately need through constant expansion, among other things, but the grain of the vast plains of the central United States and the industrial facilities of the west, it is worth the risk

"The United States is a country of free capital, and as long as we can gain a foothold in the Midwest, there will definitely be people who will risk the condemnation of the world and take the initiative to contact us and provide us with military supplies. Marx has a saying: capital is born with blood, and when the profit reaches 10, they will be stupid; When the profit reaches 50, they will take risks; When the profit reaches 100, they dare to trample on all the laws of the world; When the profit reached 300, they dared to risk hanging.

"What we have to do is to attract these people to serve us, to keep us fighting through war. As long as we can grit our teeth and hold on to the territory of the United States, this country with no historical background will surely collapse, and the final victory will be ours"

"The question is, are we holding on?"

Hirohito asked unhappily: "Ishihara-kun, you haven't answered me yet, what to do in the face of the onslaught of American tank clusters in the plains"

"Tanks are not invincible"

Ishihara Wan'er looked confident: "The war in South Africa has fully proved this, as long as the tactics are properly applied, even the infantry can inflict heavy losses on the opponent, not to mention that through previous operations, we have captured a large number of British and American tanks, and we have also produced thousands of tanks, which will be used to attack the United States, I believe that our soldiers can burst out a hundred times the combat power......"

Seeing that Hirohito was noncommittal, Ishihara sighed and explained in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, we have made a secret agreement with the Germans, from whom we have obtained valuable materials for the manufacture of bazookas. This is a sharp weapon developed by the Chinese, easy to produce and easy to carry, and has shown extraordinary power in the battle between the Anjia Army and the imperial ** team.

"The Germans are not willing to lose their trust in others, so they strictly require us not to use this sharp weapon when fighting against the South Chinese army, but in South Africa, our troops have skillfully used this weapon to inflict heavy losses on the British and American troops, and our army will not have much reason to win in the face of the American ** team, if it is a head-on decisive battle, there will naturally be little reason to win, but what if we continue to use tactics to penetrate the chā and mobilize the enemy to fight at the time and place we set?

"This attack on the United States, for the imperial ** team, to gain a firm foothold in the central and western regions of North America is a great victory, it is true, it is difficult to travel thousands of miles to the Americas to supply, but we are not difficult to supply to the islands in the ocean, isn't it difficult?

"Right now, Americans' attention is drawn to Latin America, where the defense of Alaska and the Midwest is empty. As long as we fight resolutely, it will not be difficult to gain the initiative at the very beginning of the campaign; after attacking the US mainland, as long as we adhere to the three-light policy of 'burning, killing, and robbing everything,' kill the Americans, and let the attention of the US government and military firmly attract the attention of the American region, it will be a victory

"At that time, our convoy to Southeast Asia, the archipelago and Australia will be much safer, and then we will continue to replenish the loss of the front line through the railway lines of Northeast Asia...... It's totally worth the risk compared to what we gained."

"Alas"

Hirohito sighed: "In the end, we still have to gamble, once we lose the bet, there will be no place for the empire to turn over"

"At what point has the empire not been gambling since the First Sino-Japanese War?"

Ishihara Wan'er's eyes shè jing: "In the First Sino-Japanese War, the empire faced the Qing Dynasty's superior navy and army, and fought decisively and seized Korea, Ryukyu and Taiwan in one fell swoop; In the Russo-Japanese War, the empire not only won a brilliant victory on land in the face of Russia, known as the 'European gendarme', but also completely annihilated the second and third fleets of Russia in the Battle of Tsushima, laying the foundation for the empire's strength in one fell swoop; After the September 18 Incident, the empire ignored the reaction of the European and American powers and captured Manchuria, which was of extraordinary significance to the empire.

"The history of the empire is a history of gambling, along the way, we have all won, I believe that this time will be no exception, as long as we can force the Americans to take the initiative to seek peace, then the world order will be formulated by Japan, Germany, Italy and other axis countries, then we will unite Germany and Italy, together to put pressure on the Chinese, then the empire can be expected to hegemon"

When Ishihara said this, Hirohito's face was also red, and his whole body trembled, and after a while, he trembled and said to Ishihara Waner: "Aiqing, you will bring me victory, right?" ”

Ishihara Wan'er met Hirohito's gaze and nodded solemnly: "Yes, Your Majesty's empire rises and falls, and in this move, I firmly believe that my choice is correct"

Hirohito let out a long sigh of relief, closed his eyes and lay on the back of the seat, looking much more relaxed.

The convoy slowly stopped at the pier, and Hirohito and Ishihara stepped out of the luxurious four-car bulletproof sedan hand in hand, and the crowd lined up in the wide dock square erupted into enthusiastic cheers.

The Trinity of the Emperor, one line of eternity, is the idol of the Japanese people.

Ishihara is a contemporary "god of war", and his appearance seems to have come to assist the wise and martial Emperor Hirohito, leading Japan from one victory to another. As for the defeat suffered in the subcontinent and the Indochina Peninsula, please, it was our imperial team that voluntarily gave up in order to obtain an Australia, which was more useful to the empire, and this is the consensus of almost all Japanese people.

The role of Ishihara Waner is not only reflected in the military, the reason why Japan's military and political affairs are still in order under successive victories, and there is no situation of resource spending, is that the base camp led by Ishihara Waner effectively regulates and controls the colony, where to provide rubber, where to supply rice, and where to have oil. And not simply the territory piled up things.

In this move, Foreign Minister Yoyoshi Matsuoka, Minister of the Interior Tanabe Jimitsu, Tibetan Minister Kaya Konobu, Land Minister Seishiro Itagaki, Umi Minister and Shiro Kawako, Privy Council Speaker Hiranuma Kiichiro, Director of Education Hideki Tojo, Minister of the Interior Koichi Kido, and important members of the Imperial Council of Ministers and Parliament will follow the emperor to the Imperial Capital City (formerly Australian Iris Springs) in central Australia to build a new capital of the Japanese Empire, especially to improve the communication and Jiāo communication there, so as to make it a veritable new national center.

General Gochi Yamamoto, commander of the Combined Fleet, will personally escort the fleet with his own fleet and the Second Air Force, and then lead the two main fleets to the front line, and the Kure Port Fleet under the command of Senior General Shiro Takasu will be responsible for the combat mission in mainland China and Southeast Asia.

The Kure Harbor fleet has the largest cruiser formation in the Japanese Navy, and at the same time has captured a total of 14 aircraft carriers from the British and American navies and entered service after passing the sea survey, forming a huge aircraft carrier battle group.

The huge aircraft carrier cluster and the abundant personnel reserve of naval aviation were the killer weapon for the Japanese base camp to be confident that it could resist the attack of the British and American allies, and it was also the biggest reliance of Ishihara and the United States in his attempt to fight the British and Americans.

This time, the Prime Minister of Konoe, the chief of the army and navy, and the generals of the General Staff Headquarters and the Military Command Department stayed behind and continued to lead the operations at the base camp. With Hideki Tojo and his followers temporarily leaving the base camp and the emperor no longer having a chance to point fingers, Ishihara's orders were finally unhindered, and from this point on, Ishihara finally reached the peak of his life.

Hirohito said goodbye to Fumihiro Konoe, Ishihara Wanji, Nagano Shusei and others, and then boarded the battleship "Nagamén" with Empress Yoshiko, and when Hirohito and Yoshiko stood on the deck and waved to the farewell crowd, the dock erupted again with a tsunami of cheers.

Hideki Tojo stood beside Hirohito, looked at Ishihara Wanji who was standing majestically on the dock below, and said in his heart that although I have lost to you now, you must not fail, once you fail, I will mercilessly seize your position and guide Japan to the right track.

Ishihara seemed to feel Hideki Tojo's gaze, and nodded slightly at him, with a smile on his face, and a hint of mockery, which made Hideki Tojo inexplicable, and he suffered more and more.
