readx;???“ The United States has completely stopped exporting oil to China, and has also set up checkpoints in the waters off Malacca, and warships of all kinds have patrolled the surrounding waters to prevent oil carriers from other countries from entering Japan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

What are we going to do? Our oil reserves are only enough for half a year, and if we can't solve this problem quickly, our troops in China, tanks will not be able to operate, warships will not be able to sail, and even our soldiers will not be able to gallop on Chinese soil.

Do we want our millions of troops to walk on the land of China on their feet? Without the advantage of mechanization, our battlefield stalemate in China will be broken very quickly, and it is the Chinese who will be the first to break this stalemate, which will be very disadvantageous to us. Showa Emperor Hirohito said with a dark face.

"Your Majesty, we are now in a stage of strategic stalemate with China, or we will expand our forces again and increase the investment in China's total forces, so as to quickly break the stalemate and force the Chinese army to surrender.

We need to go the other way, get more and better resources, and eventually strengthen ourselves and break the deadlock in China from the outside, but I am not in favor of attacking the United States now.

In my opinion, the time is extremely premature to attack the United States, not to mention that Southeast Asia is now in the hands of the Huaxing Group, if we attack Southeast Asia, we will not only run into the difficult Huaxing Group, but also touch the interests of Britain, France, the Netherlands, the United States and many other countries. Fumima Konoe, who has been serving as Japan's prime minister for the third time, advised.

Prime Minister Konoe said that Southeast Asia is not only Indochina, Vietnam, but also Myanmar. Southeast Asia also has the Philippines, the Indonesian archipelago and Malaysia, as long as we occupy these three countries, we can get countless strategic resources such as grain, rubber, minerals, oil and so on.

With these resources, we do not have to fear the blockade of the Americans, let alone the fact that they will stop exporting strategic resources to us, because in these countries of Southeast Asia there are all the resources that our Great Japanese Empire requires. Japanese Land Minister Hideki Tojo said.

Konoe Fumima looked at his right-hand man Tojo Hideki, who he had picked up with one hand, and felt a little resentful in his heart: "This little man Tojo, now that his wings have grown stiff, he has begun to go against my will, I said that I don't want to go to war immediately, and it's not that I won't go to war."

He's so good, relying on the guys in the military department to support him in the war, he actually wants to kick me away, it seems that he wants to sit in my seat.

Is the Prime Minister's seat so easy to sit in? I've been Prime Minister three times, which one has been long-term? Okay, since you don't listen to me, then let you go crazy, I'll just find a chance to resign, and I'll quit.

Lao Tzu took his wife, lover, children, and illegitimate children to go on vacation overseas to see what tricks you could make. After all, Fumima Konoe was still the prime minister, and he didn't want to admit defeat and hand over power so quickly, so he said again:

"I just feel that the time is not ripe for war with the United States, because we are not fully prepared. It is really dangerous for our little Japan to go to war with a big country like the United States without adequate preparation, so I implore you to think twice. ”

Seeing Konoe Fumima bowing and pleading, the expressions of the bigwigs from the military and political circles present were the same, but most of them showed extremely disdainful eyes.

In their opinion, Prime Minister Fumima Konoe is too weak, and although he is also one of the masterminds of the invasion of China, he has always been a weak guy in foreign policy.

"Look at the brilliant achievements of our German allies! They have less than 370,000 square kilometers of land, and their population is only 67 million, which is 3 million less than the population of Japan.

And their land area is comparable to ours. But look at them, they have occupied most of Europe, a full 5 million square kilometers of land, and even surrendered their old rival, the European power France.

Now they have defeated Russia, which has twice the population and 60 times the size of the land, and has not only made Russia independent of Ukraine and Belarus, but now it is directly aimed at Moscow, the capital of Russia.

Now that the whole world is trembling at the rise of the German nation, as the strongest ally of the Germans, shouldn't we Japan come up with some decent achievements?

What's wrong with beating him up with a little America? The United States is about the size of China, and its population is only a quarter of China's. If we can occupy most of China, will we not be able to defeat a small United States? Lu Xiang Tojo Hideki said loudly, and his words were approved by most of the people present.

"Can this be the case? You must know that China is only a backward semi-feudal and semi-colonial country, and their industry is extremely backward, not much better than the indigenous people of the Americas.

So although China has a population of 40,000,000, it is only 40,000 pigs in our eyes, which can be slaughtered at will at any time.

But the United States is different, I studied in the United States, and I know the country very well. The United States is a developed industrial country, and if you have never been to the United States, you have no idea how strong the industrial level of the United States is.

Their factories are located in every city, their cities are full of factories, and their energy is almost inexhaustible. If we in Japan produce one car, the Americans can easily produce ten.

Now that we have very few strategic resources, we are no match for the Americans, so I am not in favor of attacking the United States, which is self-defeating. Admiral Fifty-six Yamamoto said.

"Yamamoto, you are too ambitious for others to destroy your own prestige. Why should we be afraid of the Americans? Caucasians are naturally afraid of death, and as long as we fight with them, they are naturally not our opponents.

This can be seen from the rise of isolationist forces in the United States after the First World War, who would not have seen Europe as a problem if they were not afraid of death. It will not withdraw from Europe in a hasty manner. Now that their allies are occupied by the Germans, and even his hardcore allies, the British, are about to be destroyed by the Germans, they still hide in the Americas and dare not come out.

This shows how little courage the Americans are, this is like a rich man with a lot of money and a false appearance, they have no determination to fight, and when they encounter us Japanese warriors who dare to fight, they will only have the life of surrender. "Hideki Tojo once again encouraged the emperor to go to war against the United States.

"Damn the Tojo Private, if Japan follows your route, it will definitely fall off the cliff. Now the army has been expanded many times, and there is only one permanent division in the whole of Japan to defend, and the other veteran divisions have been sent to China.

Without an army, can the navy and air force alone defeat the powerful United States? Yamamoto fifty-six also roared.

"I believe that our Great Japanese Empire is invincible, and although our army is no longer strong, we still have your powerful navy, and with only a strong navy, we can still defeat the United States." Hideki Tojo, the prime minister of the land, instead buttoned up the high hat of Yamamoto Isoroku of the Navy.

Yamamoto Fifty-six, who has always looked down on the Army and even more down on Hideki Tojo, couldn't help but scold Hideki Tojo even more, and Hideki Tojo did not show weakness and scolded Yamamoto Fifty-six.

"Okay, don't quarrel anymore, I've made up my mind, war against the United States is inevitable, and we have to discuss when to start a war now. I just want to know what are our chances of winning now that we are at war against the United States? Emperor Hirohito roared, and the entire imperial meeting fell silent.
