The division commander seems to be mysterious, but Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe doesn't understand it, make a fortune? How to make a fortune?

Tang Qiuli smiled smugly and said: "Yuhe, have you considered a question, after the Japanese army attacked Australia, the only place where the British and Australian troops could be supplied was the current West Indies, and the West Indies under the rule of the British did not have the ability to produce military supplies and ammunition on a large scale, so we were the only ones who could provide the ammunition and military supplies needed by the British and Australian armies." ”

"Not only the British and Australian troops need, but even the American and Philippine troops who have the opportunity to retreat to Australia have to rely on us for supplies, of course, we are not the International Red Cross, we can provide ammunition and military supplies to the Americans and the British, we have to buy them with real money, you say, isn't this an opportunity to make a fortune!"

Zhao Yuhe's eyes were straight, this can also work, the current appearance of the division commander, how can he look like a profiteer, thought about it and said: "Division commander, I think it is theoretically feasible, but in fact, it still needs to be verified, in case the British in Australia, in the face of the strong attack pressure of the Japanese army, come to surrender without a fight, your plan to make a fortune will be in vain!" ”

Tang Qiuli said very confidently: "Yuhe, then wait and see, the importance of Australia to the Americans, it is self-evident, even if the British want to surrender, the Americans will not allow it, now, in the European battlefield, the British are all supported by the Americans, Churchill dares to disobey Roosevelt, you look at it, the British have collected the family funds in Australia and the West Indies for many years, and it will soon be in our hands, not only the British, but also the Americans will spend their money." ”

Zhao Yuhe thought of another question, "Division commander, the British army stationed in Australia only has more than 160,000 troops, and it is 100,000 people who are going to the battlefield on Luzon Island. The huge Australia, only more than 60,000 troops left, and the Japanese army, which is eyeing the tiger, has more than 800,000 troops, even if the British no longer want to give up Australia, in the face of the absolute superiority of the Japanese army, it will not last long, according to my personal judgment, once the Australian battle starts, the British will not hold out for long! ”

Tang Qiuli shook his head. said: "Yuhe, your thinking is narrow-minded, as far as the situation in the Southwest Pacific Theater is concerned, the nearly 200,000 Japanese troops on Luzon Island cannot participate in the campaign to attack Australia. And the Japanese troops in other areas are unlikely to come out. There is only one reason. The Japanese want to guard against us, and they are even more worried that once they exert all their strength, our more than 600,000 troops in the Indochina Peninsula will stick a knife in the back of the Japanese! ”

"As we all know, we are with the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia. is nominally an ally, there is an agreement on mutual military assistance, and the Japanese do not take this into account, therefore. In my judgment, Ito Yanzaburo's forces for attacking Australia will not exceed 300,000 men, and in the vast Australian continent, after the dilution of the Japanese army's strength, the difference in the strength of the British and Australian forces is not so great. ”

"In fact, our troops did not take any action, which is the greatest deterrent to the Japanese army, and also the greatest support for the British and Americans, of course, whether it is the British or the Americans, will never accept this feeling, so I want to use weapons, ammunition and military supplies to make a lot of money, and cut the meat from the British and the Americans, and I also want them to take the initiative to send it to the door to be cut meat!"

"I firmly believe that the British will hold on to Australia for a long time, and there is an important factor, after the East Indian immigration frenzy, we sent more than 20 million people to the British, that is, a huge source of reserves, armed with hundreds of thousands of troops, it is not a problem, how many weapons, ammunition and equipment are needed, Australia is tight, the British have so much equipment from there for a while, and they have to turn to us, Yuhe, you just wait to count the money!"

Zhao Yuhe was completely speechless, he accepted this ability to make money, how did he feel that the business talent of the division commander seemed to exceed his military talent?

Tang Qiuli suddenly said: "Yuhe, you immediately send a telegram to Dingbian, and ask Wang Xu, director of the Military Industry Bureau, to bring a few more experts in weapons and equipment, and also rush to Singapore immediately, so let my special plane pick them up, Yuhe, arrange it immediately!" ”

Zhao Yuhe hurriedly went out to make arrangements, in the office, only Tang Qiu was left from himself, touching his chin, with a smile on his face, he sat on the chair, and seemed to see the ocean of white flowers, yellow gold, flowing into his pocket, if at this time, other officers of the independent division came in, and what they saw was definitely another division commander!

After receiving this information, General Ito Yanzaburo did not have the ecstasy he imagined, and after reading the information several times, he did not say a word, but sat there, his eyes half-closed, and fell into deep thought.

After a few minutes, Senior General Ito opened his eyes and asked the Chief of Staff, Major General Kawashima, "Kawashima-kun, what do you think of this information?" ”

While General Ito was pondering, the chief of staff, Major General Kawashima, was not idle, and when he heard the commander-in-chief ask himself, he replied carefully and carefully: "General, in the sense of intelligence, we have completed the plan formulated by the base camp, successfully transferred 100,000 British and Australian troops out of Australia, and created extremely favorable conditions for the next attack on Australia, and my opinion is that the next step of the plan should be implemented!" ”

General Ito looked at his chief of staff with a smile and said, "Kawashima-kun, that's all?" Of course, Ito didn't believe that he, the scheming chief of staff, could think of it with only this little brain, and a captain of the Great Zuo Wing.

Major General Kawashima smiled and said: "I can't hide anything from the general, attacking Australia is the established goal of our dispatched army, and it is also the final determination of the base camp, the Australian continent is vast, if the troops used for the attack are insufficient, it will fall into a long-term entanglement war, if too many troops are used, so that the current troops in the occupied area are empty, and Tang Qiuli, the devil who has more than 600,000 troops in the Indochina Peninsula, will take this opportunity to launch an offensive!" ”

"When the time comes, our dispatch army will fall into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts, the United States, Britain and Austria and Tang Qiuli are the relationship between the allied forces, and there is another point, the devil Tang Qiuli, whether you want to see that the Imperial Japanese Army alone controls the entire southwest Pacific region, so that damn devil is the biggest worry of our Imperial Japanese Army, and the most important thing is how many troops to send to attack Australia."

"It can not only ensure that the current occupied area will not be captured by Tang Qiuli when it is taken by Tang Qiuli, but also ensure that there are enough troops to achieve the strategic objectives of the base camp, commander-in-chief, we need to be cautious, the scale of which is not easy to grasp, I think that the dispatch army should draw up a battle plan and report it to the base camp, and after it is approved, we will implement it accordingly, so that we can cover all aspects, this is just my personal opinion, for the reference of His Excellency the General!"

Admiral Ito smiled knowingly, is this just a little opinion, by no means, Kawashima has analyzed all the possibilities, and it is clearly organized, pointing out the key points, he has this person to help, it is really the favor of Amaterasu!

Senior General Ito said sincerely: "Kawashima-kun, what Jun said is exactly what I think, immediately order to go down, the commanders of all armies, immediately rush to Luzon Island, participate in the military meeting, especially which Haruta Yoshihiko, you have to personally inform, he is fighting on the head, it is very likely that he is not willing to come to the meeting, this guy, when he sees the war, he forgets everything!" ”

Major General Kawashima respectfully agreed, and he could see that Commander-in-Chief Ito had great admiration for Lieutenant General Haruta was a heartfelt compliment.

That night, Senior General Ito and Chief of Staff Kawashima, together with a group of senior staff officers from the War Department and the General Staff, stayed up all night, and a complete battle plan for attacking Australia was released, which was immediately reported to the General Staff Headquarters of the base camp by top-secret telegram.

On the morning of 21 August, Prince Zaihito, chief of the general staff of the base camp, after receiving the battle plan, first informed the Minister of War Michiichi and the Minister of the Navy Yohei Kono, and immediately rushed to the Imperial Palace to meet His Majesty the Emperor.

Taking advantage of the fact that Koichi Yonechi and Yohei Kono had not yet arrived, the two brothers first discussed the plan of General Ito Yanzaburo, and Emperor Hirohito did not make a statement after reading the battle plan, but said with emotion: "As I wished, the British and Australian troops have finally left Australia, which is a great opportunity for the next military operations of the empire!" In order to create this opportunity, I have made every effort to make arrangements in many ways, so that the war situation in the southwest Pacific has dragged on until today before we can see the dawn. ”

"For this reason, the empire has spent a lot of military spending, but it is worth it to get Australia, which is vast and rich in resources! The so-called want to take, must be given first, the ancestors of the Chinese people, indeed have wisdom, so can inherit and carry forward this wisdom, only our Yamato nation! The people of China have been completely rotten to the roots, they can't afford to bear such an important responsibility, and my Yamato nation came into being, and it is also a gift from God! ”

Regarding the emperor's elder brother's feelings, Prince Zaihito wisely chose not to say a word, Emperor Hirohito glanced at his younger brother and asked lightly: "Zaihito, what is your opinion on Ito Yanzaburo's plan to attack Australia?" ”

For this battle plan, Prince Zaihito, as the chief of the General Staff, from the perspective of military operations, can't find any faults, Ito has already anticipated all possible problems in advance, especially after the empire sent troops to the southwest Pacific to attack Australia, Ito can be described as painstakingly in the plan to prevent the devil Tang Qiuli, but there is only one point, which makes Zairen feel that it is not so appropriate.
