The Japanese seemed to be a little impatient to find out what valuable information "Wild" had brought to them, and that night, before Qing Shui could move, Wang Weiyi was taken to the Japanese Prime Minister's residence by a large group of Japanese soldiers.

Here, almost all of Japan's authorities gathered:

Japan's Prime Minister and Minister of Army, Senior Admiral Hideki Tojo, Minister of the Navy, Senior Admiral Shigetaro Shimada, and Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, Commander of the Combined Naval Fleet and First Fleet

The information that "Xiong" did not hesitate to expose himself and brought at the cost of his own life and that of his son has quickly attracted the attention of the highest levels of Japan.

"Bear" is one of Japan's trump cards, and these high-level Japanese officials know that if this information is not important, then this spy who has been lurking for 20 years will not do so.

Especially in the current situation.

The war in the Chinese theater did not go well, did not achieve the previous "three months to destroy China" assumption, and suffered heavy losses, Japan, began to expand to Southeast Asia in mid-1941, causing dissatisfaction among the major powers in this region, in order to give Japan a little color, the United States froze the economic trade with Japan, the important of which is high-octane oil, without oil, Japan's planes could not rise to the sky, ships could not sail in the sea, Japan could not continue to expand abroad.

In addition, Japan's oil can only last for half a year, and Japan understands that it can either withdraw its troops from China, stop its external expansion, and move closer to the United States diplomatically. Either they will form their own banner, go south to seize strategic resources, and continue to intensify their aggression against foreign countries. There are the United States, the United Kingdom in the South Seas. The Dutch colonies, marching into the South Seas were tantamount to declaring war on the United States, Britain and the Netherlands.

And this is when the opportunity came

On June 22, 1941, the Soviet-German war broke out. Japan, unable to negotiate with the United States, decided to start a Pacific War. July 2nd. Hideki Tojo participated in the Imperial Council, and at his instigation, he finally discussed and decided on the "Outline of Imperial National Policy to Adapt to Changes in the Situation", and prepared to go to war with Britain and the United States for the "southward advance". Because Hideki Tojo believes that "the garrison of troops in China is a matter of life and death for the army" and absolutely "cannot be compromised"; "If we completely submit to the claims of the United States, the gains of the China incident will be ruined, and Manchuria will not be able to preserve. North Korea's rule will also be in jeopardy."

At this time, Prime Minister Fumihiro Konoe still did not have the courage to directly clash with the United States, and demanded that Prime Minister Tojo should act "cautiously" on major decisions. Hideki Tojo said disdainfully, "Sometimes. We also have to have the courage to do something extraordinary—like jumping off the platform of Kiyomizu-dera Temple, with our eyes closed. Hideki Tojo also shouted: "Regarding the withdrawal of troops, I will not make the slightest concession!" If the withdrawal of troops means that "the United States defeated Japan - this is a shame in the history of the Japanese Empire"!

Fumiro Konoe, an aristocratic nobleman, flinched and announced his resignation on October 16, 1941. The day after the general resignation of the Konoe Cabinet. Nominated by the Council of Ministers, the Tojo Cabinet was approved. He wasn't chosen because he wanted to. Perhaps he was an aggressive, but rather he had a dedication to military discipline, and he was believed to be able to control reckless armies in times of crisis, and to be loyal to the royal family and energetic.

On the afternoon of November 17, 1941, the Emperor summoned Hideki Tojo, promoted him to the rank of general, and ordered him to form a cabinet as prime minister as an active military officer. and also a land minister. This made his position much more consolidated than that of his predecessors, when Japan, on the brink of war, needed a landmine fool as a sign. The Japanese chose Hideki Tojo, and Tojo consciously took this step. On November 18, 1941, the Tojo Cabinet was formally established, which was a centralized "cabinet" that waged war. In his inaugural statement, the war maniac declared that "completing the China Incident and establishing the 'Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere'" was the national policy of the empire, and that it was necessary to "march forward with the unity of the whole country to complete the holy cause under the imperial authority."

A hard-line war cabinet has been formed, but there is still a debate within Japan over whether to start a Pacific war immediately. The defensive counterattack faction and the active offensive faction completely formed a serious confrontation.

Coupled with the fact that the Japanese army was deeply entrenched in the Chinese battlefield, it is doubtful whether it would be able to launch a new all-out war, because until November 1942, a full year, despite the full preparations, the "surprise attack on Pearl Harbor" that should have occurred a long time ago never happened

Even Hideki Tojo himself is not completely sure.

When asked Yamamoto Isoroku for his opinion, the commander of the Combined Fleet told Hideki Tojo: The Pacific War will inevitably break out, but the question is when it will break out.

Previously, Isoroku Yamamoto further and thoroughly improved the strategic thinking of the Japanese Navy. For the previous 20 years, the Japanese Navy had been a believer in Mahan's theory of sea power, and accordingly formulated a tapering invitation operation: light surface ships, submarines, and shore-based aviation forces would continue to weaken the U.S. Navy fleet as it crossed the Pacific, and finally the Japanese Navy would destroy the U.S. Navy in a "decisive battle" between the Mariana Islands and the Ryukyu Islands in the North Philippine Sea, about the time of the Mariana Islands.

Isoroku Yamamoto astutely pointed out that this kind of plan was unsuccessful even in Japan's own war games, and pointed out that the real strategic advantage of the United States lies in the strength of its domestic production capacity. Yamamoto suggested that instead of hoping for a defensive plan to weaken first and then fight a decisive battle, it was better to take the initiative to attack.

Yamamoto hoped that if the U.S. military could be inflicted heavy losses in the early stages of the war, it might be possible to encourage the latter to sit down at the negotiating table and sue for peace early. The Japanese expected the strike to give them at least six months of strategic superiority in attacking the resource sources of the Dutch East Indies without being thwarted by the U.S. Navy.

But that's just an idea

At this time, "Xiong" sent an urgent telegram to Japan, which only vaguely stated that he would bring about a major change in the thinking of the United States toward Japan.

The attitude of the United States had a profound impact on Japan at that time, and this was a very important reason why these Japanese authorities were so eager to meet "Wild and Wild".

When he saw "Wild", Hideki Tojo endured the urgency in his heart and expressed his condolences to "Wild" for the unfortunate death of his "father" and "bear", and then changed the conversation: "Miyamoto, let's call you Wilder, I heard that your Japanese is very good?" It's rare that you were born and raised in the U.S. and still haven't forgotten your native language. ”

"My father has always taught me not to forget my country, Your Excellency Prime Minister." Wang Weiyi said respectfully.

"Ah, it's good, it's very respectable" Hideki Tojo exchanged a few words of greeting, and finally brought the topic to the question that all Japanese people wanted to know the most: "Did you bring back the information that your father protected with his life?" ”

"Yes" Wang Weiyi's face showed a "sad" expression: "One hundred thousand urgent, the United States is about to launch a war against Japan!" ”

With a "bang", the entire conference room suddenly boiled

It's incredible, it's incredible. Although the United States has imposed a series of sanctions on Japan before, there is no sign of war at all.

"Are you sure, Miyamoto?" Yamamoto's eyes were staring at Wang Weiyi.

"I'm sure!" Wang Weiyi did not hide from his gaze at all: "For this reason, the United States has made full preparations. Ladies and gentlemen, as you know, the United States is experiencing a brutal economic crisis, with high unemployment at home, serious contradictions, and serious confrontation between capitalists and workers, and it can even be said that the contradictions have reached the point of irreconcilability. And what is the most effective and fastest way to divert domestic contradictions and restore the economy? War! When the war machine is activated, all contradictions will be eliminated, and the economy will be restored because of the war hunger."

The Japanese do not deny what he said at all. War is indeed the best way to divert internal contradictions.

"Everyone!" Wang Weiyi's voice raised slightly: "The U.S. Pacific Fleet is ready, and I have also brought you all the troop deployment, firepower coordination, and even the names of their commanders."

The Japanese look at each other, and if that's the case, then this information is too precious.

"The time for the sneak attack will be set for December 25th!" Wang Weiyi accentuated his tone: "This time the code name is 'Papans Eagle', in this plan, the Japanese code name is 'Cherry', and I have all the passwords that Americans use to contact"

This is Shimizu Toyama finally said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, ladies and gentlemen, we have indeed intercepted a large number of telegrams from the Pacific Fleet's Hawaiian Fleet and the United States, in which the word 'cherry' is mentioned countless times, and we are puzzled, but now that we have heard Miyamoto-kun's words, I think this has the answer."

"Bring all the telegrams at once." Hideki Tojo's face was gloomy and authentic.

Wang Weiyi smiled, he had to thank Xiao Ling. Those telegrams that were "intercepted" by the Japanese were all Xiaoling's masterpieces.

And this time the questioning of "Wild Wild" lasted for six hours.

During these six hours, Wang Weiyi told all the information he knew about the United States' preparations to attack Japan.

What he said was too detailed, the number of troops that the United States was preparing to attack, the time, and the password that the Americans used to communicate, and these six hours were enough to change everything.

When Wang Weiyi was escorted out of here, the Japanese emergency meeting was still going on, but Wang Weiyi knew that he was not far from leaving the road to success! (To be continued......)
