In the Philippine/Lil/Bin Sea, three brilliant fireworks bloomed, and three merchant ships flying the flag of the Japanese army sank to the bottom of the sea in a few minutes, along with the cargo on board. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, the submarine began to dive immediately after firing the torpedo, retracted into the water, turned off the engine, and floated there quietly, without sinking to the bottom. After all, the seabed is too complicated, and this place still exists as a ridge, so if you don't know which cliff to stop at.

Ten minutes later, the Japanese destroyers received a distress signal from the surviving merchant ships and immediately rushed to the scene, but there was no trace of the enemy here, only the garbage left by the three sunken cargo ships.

The Japanese side was also furious that the cargo ship was wrecked, and the ship was loaded with much-needed resources that they had exchanged for technology.

Recently, they have been building large ships again, and there is an urgent shortage of steel resources, and there is not enough steel to make bayonets, and the navy and army are fighting in front of the emperor because of the share of steel.

Now three ships have been sunk at once, which makes them very distressed, and the high-level has also given a death order to find the sneak attack submarine as soon as possible.

"Yaga Yalu!" Hideki Tojo was furious in himself, as the general staff of the army, everything in the army would pass through his hands, so he knew everything about the army.

The cargo ship was sunk, and it stands to reason that these ores were handed over to the navy, and they have nothing to do with the army.

However, today, the emperor does not know what kind of sea breeze is being blown by the navy, and he actually wants to reduce the share of steel in their army and use it to build warships.

Now their army is very short of steel to make bayonets, and now if they look at it again, they will not even be able to make guesses by then.

Although he also went to protest to Hirohito, it was obvious that the protest was ineffective, otherwise he would not have been angry like this. Although Hirohito promised to replenish them after the naval warships were built, when will the navy's warships be completed, and they will be built one after another, there is no head!

"Your Excellency the General Staff, I may have a solution." As a confidant of Hideki Tojo, this Japanese soldier knows a lot of inside information, after all, no matter what Hideki Tojo will discuss with him.

"What's the solution?" Hideki Tojo asked coldly, he was very unhappy now, and his tone of voice was full of guns.

The henchman didn't care, after all, he had been working under Hideki Tojo for so long, and he knew Hideki Tojo's character very well, so he still smiled, "I want to ask first, how much gold is still in the army, and how much gold is still stolen from China?" ”

"Why do you ask this?" Hideki Tojo frowned and asked puzzled.

"This, I have an idea, if we have enough funds, can we buy minerals from Lu Qiang privately?" The confidant said thoughtfully.

Hideki Tojo heard this, his expression froze, he really never thought about this, but if he bought it in the name of an army, would it be overstepping? After all, there was no notification to the above, and there were still a lot of things that were plundered from China at the beginning, which were enough to exchange for more than 100,000 tons of ore. It's all their army's private money.

Although Japan is poor, it is the people who are poor, and the army is still very rich, and these private funds can be used to give military funds to soldiers when the country cannot divide military funds, as a backup, but now, they are thinking about whether to spend all this, but if they spend it, the country will not be able to issue military funds in the future, so their front-line soldiers will not be able to get money, and military funds will be in arrears.

Hideki Tojo didn't dare to make a decision on this matter at will, although he had the final say.

Discussion, half a day of discussion, Tojo Hideki and other high-level officials decided to spend all this private money, there is no way, the shell steel for making shells is almost gone, and even bicycles can't be made much. If they don't buy it, they will be completely starved of food.

As for the emperor, they also symbolically mentioned that although the emperor is the head of a country, the emperor does not care about things, especially the military, and in today's Japan, he is only in charge of politics/governance, and the emperor only exists as a decision-maker.

Now that it has been decided, the rest is simple, and directly send someone to bring the fleet over, and their army also has a lot of ships.

Before going to Australia, contact Lu Qiang's side first, otherwise the other party doesn't know what they do, and it will be fun when the invaders are defeated.

So Hideki Tojo immediately asked people to contact Lu Qiang. For Hideki Tojo to buy minerals, Lu Qiang will naturally not refuse, if you want to buy it, I will sell it to you, and you will bear the transportation yourself.

As soon as Lu Qiangyi agreed, Hideki Tojo immediately pulled some of the few cargo ships under his command and drove them all to Australia.

Hirohito naturally knew what Hideki Tojo was doing, although Hideki Tojo was going to buy things back and then notify the above, but Hirohito was not blind, but he didn't care, and he knew the current situation of the army in his heart, so he let him buy resources.

"Boss, you sell things like this for another day, is it really good?" Seeing that Lu Qiang agreed to the order from the Japanese side, the monkey asked helplessly.

"What's so bad? We are neutral, we give money, and we sell to whomever we want. Lu Qiang said confidently.

"Aren't you afraid of being poked in the back? I heard that the domestic side is a little dissatisfied with you because of your behavior. The monkey said.

"Who?" Lu Qiang asked.

"Those so-called writers, they criticize your behavior in the newspapers, thinking that you are a traitor, and you actually sold resources to the enemy Japan, saying that you have forgotten the scars caused to China by the Japanese invasion." The monkey said, thought for a moment and continued, "But these writers seem to have something to do with European and American countries. ”

"That's right." Lu Qiang understood, it should be European and American countries that found out that Lu Qiang sold resources to Japan, and then found someone in China to try to put pressure on himself, "Then sell it secretly, don't let them know, tell the Japanese side, be careful, don't be discovered, otherwise if it is exposed, don't blame us for not selling it to them in the future." ”

“。。。 Good. The monkey nodded a little sluggishly. In fact, he is not very willing to sell resources to Japan, but Lao Shan insists on selling him, although he has long heard Lu Qiang analyze his strategic intentions, but it is still a little unclear.

"By the way, ask the UK if they want something." Lu Qiang said, "Also, has the assembly line of the 59 tank been built?" ”

"The British side found time to ask, the tank assembly line has been built, and now it is producing modules in large quantities, and then assembling them, but the technology is still a little immature, and there are a lot of defective modules produced." The monkey said.

"It doesn't matter if there are many defective products, first be proficient, and the quality must be controlled." Lu Qiang said solemnly.

"Yes." The monkey nodded. (To be continued.) )
