Seishiro Itagaki nodded silently in agreement, indeed, what Ishihara Waner said was the truth, although he turned over again and entered the power hub of the empire from this.

But the situation that followed was indeed extremely serious, especially the special forces of China who had already penetrated deep into the empire to carry out sabotage attacks, which was the first thing to solve.

"Ishihara-kun, do you have any good solutions and solutions to the current situation?" Seishiro Itagaki asked humbly, as he was also a good friend, he knew Ishihara's resourcefulness and believed that he must have a way to deal with it.

Sure enough, Ishihara got up and walked to the map that had been hanging in his room, and pondered for a while before pointing to the map and saying: "At present, the empire's war against China is in the upper hand, and in recent years, the empire's national strength has been greatly depleted, and it is powerless to reverse the existing situation of the war against China in a short period of time, so we should take the initiative to shrink our forces and give up some of the occupied territories, so that we can make a decision after the empire's national strength is restored!" ”

"First of all, it is the north of China, and now the North China Front has suffered successive defeats in the battles of Xuzhou and Qingdao, and the elite has lost all its strength, and it is no longer able to ensure the Pingjin generation, so it is necessary to immediately abandon the North China region centered on Pingjin, immediately withdraw from the Guannai, and gather the strength of the Kwantung Army to secure Manchukuo."

Ishihara Waner looked back at Itagaki Seishiro, saw that he listened very carefully, and was satisfied, turned his head and continued to point to the map: "Then there is Central China, also because of the previous Huainan Battle with the Tiger Army of China, the strength of the Central China Front is also much worse than before, and now, almost all the elite troops of the Central Army of China, such as Xue, Gu, and Jiang, are launching a counteroffensive against the occupied areas of the Central China Front!" ”

When Ishihara said this, Seishiro Itagaki couldn't help but interject: "Ishihara-kun is right, according to the news I got before I returned to Yueben, even Nanjing, the former capital of the Shina people, was taken back by them!" ”

"What, Nanjing was also recovered by the Zhina?" Ishihara was obviously taken aback, and although he was under house arrest, he was concerned about the progress of the war against China, but the speed of learning the news was far less than that of Seishiro Itagaki.

Seeing Itagaki Seishiro nodding, Ishihara continued: "Then it is even more necessary to quickly shrink the strength of the Central China Front, retreat along the Yangtze River valley to Shanghai, and rely on the strong strength of the Imperial Navy to secure Shanghai as a base and bridge for the counterattack on Central China in China." ”

"Well, although Chiang's Central Army is better equipped than other local Chinese troops, it cannot be compared with Qiao Anbang's Tiger Army, let alone the powerful air power of the Tiger Army, as long as the main force of the Central China Front takes the initiative to shrink and relies on the strong firepower of the naval fleet, it is absolutely wishful thinking for the people of China to recapture Shanghai." Seishiro Itagaki nodded in agreement.

"After stabilizing the battlefield in China, the empire should immediately carry out reforms, first of all, it is necessary to strengthen relations and trade with Britain and the United States and other Western countries, obtain sufficient strategic resources, such as oil, rubber, etc., and restore the national strength of the empire as soon as possible. Ishihara continued.

"Yes, Ishihara-kun, through several battles with the Tiger Army, I have understood why the Empire has been repeatedly defeated by Qiao Anbang's Tiger Army when the strength of the army is equal or even superior, that is, I say that the weapons and equipment of the Imperial Army in service have significantly lagged behind the new and sophisticated weapons equipped by the Tiger Army of China."

"In terms of the bravery of the soldiers, our imperial warriors are no worse than the Chinese Tiger Army, so we must innovate the existing weapons and equipment! in order to defeat the rising [***] team again! Itagaki Seishiro said with feelings.

Ishihara Wan'er waved his hand and said: "Itagaki-kun, what you said is not all right, in terms of weapons and equipment, we are only lagging behind the Tiger Ben Army led by Qiao Anbang of China, as for Jiang Zhiyan's Central Army and the overall level of the armies in other places has not changed much from before the 77 Incident. And China has not risen, because their country's industrial base, military industry, science and technology and other fields are still in the initial stage, and they are still far from the Great Empire! ”

"I say that this empire only needs to innovate and replace the weapons and equipment in service as soon as possible, and the overall strength of the army will inevitably surpass the Chinese army again, because we have a perfect industrial foundation and a far leading scientific and technological level!" Speaking of this, Ishihara Waner said earnestly: "Itagaki-kun, in fact, we should be happy!" ”

"Oh? Glad? Ishihara-kun, why do you say that? Where does this happiness come from? Seishiro Itagaki asked confusedly.

"We should be glad that China does not have a navy, or rather, it does not have a navy that can compete with the combined fleet of the navy of our empire, otherwise, the empire will be in danger!" Ishihara said in a deep voice secretly rejoicing.

"Huh!" Seishiro Itagaki is not a fool, he is smart-minded, he suddenly understood, indeed, what Ishihara Waner said is completely correct, it is said that it is an island country surrounded by the sea, the local resources are scarce, and most of the materials rely on imports, especially strategic materials.

Just imagine, if the squadron has a strong enough navy, then they don't even need to attack Yuben, they only need to block Yuben's trade with the outside world, and they can completely defeat Yuben.

Because once the trade ties with the outside world are cut off, all the strategic materials needed for the development of local industrial science and technology will not be available, and all industrial development and scientific and technological research and development will naturally come to a standstill.

However, China can take the opportunity to develop their zero-starting industry, science and technology and other fields, and the development potential of China, a behemoth country, is far from being comparable to this, not to mention that this is a wartime, and it is blocked by the Chinese navy, even in a peaceful era, the two sides develop equally and peacefully, and this is by no means China's opponent.

And now the situation is that the Empire has a large enough naval fleet to dominate Asia, and their trade routes with the outside world are unimpeded, and at the same time, the naval fleet of the Great Empire can connect China with the outside world through the sea at any time, and in fact the navy is already doing so.

Thinking of this, Seishiro Itagaki knew that he and all of them should feel happy.

Ishihara continued as he packed up his belongings, "However, the premise of solving the above matters is that we must first eliminate these special forces that have infiltrated our homeland. Obviously, Qiao Anbang, the leader of the Chinese Tiger Army, also recognized the gap between China and Yueben, so he personally led the special forces to enter our homeland to conduct special operations behind enemy lines, with a clear purpose, that is, to sabotage and destroy the industrial base of the empire, thereby destroying our war potential and slowing down the recovery of our national strength, and winning time for the development of the Chinese team! ”

"Well, this Qiao Anbang is cunning and big, it must be eliminated, otherwise there will be endless trouble!" Seishiro Itagaki nodded approvingly.

"Hehe, in fact, putting aside national hatred and national grievances, Qiao Anbang should be the most strategically minded person in the entire Zhina people, and he is also a tactical genius! I really appreciate that! Ishihara said with a faint smile.

"Well, I agree with that, he's a great tactical genius!" Itagaki Seishiro nodded again, and said with some regret: Unfortunately, he is Chinese and destined to be our enemy! "It is precisely because of this that we must eliminate it, such a tactical genius with great strategic vision, it is a dangerous and great danger to the entire Yamato Empire and the entire Yamato nation to keep him!" Ishihara's face sank and he said hatefully.

"Ishihara-kun, there seem to be several special forces in Qiao Anbang, not only are they much better equipped than us, but their whereabouts are also erratic, and their mobile surnames are extremely strong, do you have any good way to deal with them?" Seeing that Ishihara had already packed his bags, Seishiro Itagaki asked as he went up to help.

"Although Qiao Anbang's special forces are well equipped, they can never be too numerous, and the reason why they have repeatedly succeeded in several previous attacks is entirely because of our local defenselessness, coupled with the fact that all the members of the Guards Cabinet were attacked, and the lack of unified command and dispatch of the garrisons in various places allowed them to succeed repeatedly! This is also the genius of Qiao Anbang, the entire Konoe cabinet is shattered, and the top of the empire is in a struggle for power, which is exactly what he wants to see! ”

After a pause, Ishihara continued: "Their strategic goal of penetrating deep into our homeland is nothing more than attacking our industrial cities and destroying our industrial base and war potential, so we can completely prevent it in advance, as long as we deploy heavy troops in various industrial areas in advance, do not give them a chance, and then form a joint mobile corps with aviation and tank armored forces to pursue and suppress them, so that even if we can't annihilate them all, we can drive them out of the mainland!" ”

"Hmm!" Itagaki Seishiro nodded knowingly, and then suddenly said: "Ishihara-kun, I don't know if you have noticed, although Qiao Anbang's Tiger Army has an air force, but it does not have a navy, so it is even more impossible to have a mobile air base like an aircraft carrier, and their local air base is also in Xuzhou, the closest to our mainland, such a distance, how did their transport planes transport them and airdrop them over?" Why is our aviation and air defense not aware at all? ”

Ishihara frowned and said, "This is also what I don't understand, I think, maybe Qiao Anbang's Tiger Army has advanced planes or flying machines that we don't know!" Because, it is not the first time that Qiao Anbang has carried out such an unwitting airborne operation, and not long ago he had already carried out an airborne landing on Yucheng in order to save his father? ”
