Chapter 506: Nanyang can't be lost

"Come, please bring His Excellency Sugiyama Mototo and His Excellency Yamada Otozo. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Prime Minister Hideki Tojo ordered.

Although, he has already made up his mind to send reinforcements to Nanyang. However, in this regard, it is still necessary to get the approval of General Sugiyama Mototo, and General Yamada Otosan. In this way, we will be able to send reinforcements to Nanyang as soon as possible.

"Hi, Your Excellency Prime Minister!" The secretary immediately went to arrange it.

Twenty minutes later, General Sugiyama Motodai and General Otozo Yamada appeared in Prime Minister Hideki Tojo's office.

"Sugiyama-kun, Yamada-kun. The situation in the South Seas is becoming more and more unfavorable for us. Prime Minister Hideki Tojo said.

"What? Your Excellency Prime Minister, has the Southern Army suffered another defeat in the South Seas? "General Sugiyama's face is not very good-looking.

Prime Minister Hideki Tojo nodded: "That's true! The Burmese Front, under the command of the Southern Army, was defeated by the Chinese at Dong Sari Lake in the Khmer. The losses were more than 40,000 people. It is now in the midst of a rout. The people of China are in pursuit. It is estimated that the losses of the Burmese front this time will exceed 60,000. Moreover, almost all of the losses are elite front-line combat units. ”

"Yaga! How about this? What the hell are those guys on the Burmese Front doing? The Indochina campaign had only just begun, and they had lost so many troops. How else can this battle be fought? General Yamada was furious.

General Sugiyama's face was also as black as the bottom of a pot. The battle had barely begun, and the Burmese Front had lost more than half of its elite forces. Such an outcome is unacceptable to anyone.

"Gentlemen, this has happened. No matter how much you talk about it now, it's useless. The most important thing now is how to reverse the situation in Nanyang and defend Nanyang. I don't need to say more about the importance of Nanyang. Prime Minister Hideki Tojo said.

Admiral Sugiyama Mototo, and Admiral Otoyama Yamada both nodded. Indeed, the importance of the South Seas is undeniable. If Nanyang is lost, then Japan will probably not be able to hold out for long in this war. There is no oil and rubber from the South Seas, and other resources. In this war, I am afraid that Japan will be defeated very quickly. Such a result is definitely not acceptable to these people. Although, the current war situation has become more and more unfavorable for Japan. The top brass of the Japanese army, who started the war, also expected that they might be defeated in the future. However, they also want to be able to continue the war forever. And not like now, all at once. If we can persevere, we may be able to see a miracle.

"Nanyang, it really can't be lost." General Sugiyama said.

"Indeed, if we lose Nanyang, we can just admit defeat. There is no need to fight this battle. Lieutenant General Otozo Yamada also said.

"Since everybody agrees on that. Then, we have to do everything we can to defeat the Chinese people. I decided to send a reinforcement force to the South Seas. Let them go and defeat the China! Prime Minister Hideki Tojo said.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, we have already started a large-scale mobilization. The local army is relatively abundant. I approve of sending reinforcements to Nanyang to defeat the Chinese people. General Sugiyama said.

Although, the Japanese navy is already at a disadvantage in the Pacific Ocean. However, for a while, the Americans will not be able to threaten the Japanese mainland. This makes it possible for the Japanese army to be transferred to other theaters of operations for emergencies.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, how many troops do you plan to send from your mainland to the South Seas?" General Sugiyama asked.

"The people of China are developing very fast. Their combat effectiveness is also very terrifying. Therefore, I hope that the more troops I will deploy, the better. If I could, I would like to be able to send at least 200,000 troops to the South Seas. Prime Minister Hideki Tojo said.

"Two hundred thousand troops?" General Sugiyama Mototo, and General Yamada Otosan, both of them couldn't help but take a breath of cool air.

Although, compared to the Japanese * army of several million troops. 200,000 troops are really nothing. However, those sent to the South Seas must not be garbage troops, they must be elite. The elite of the Japanese army has been entrusted to the Chinese battlefield and the Pacific theater. There are very few local elites. If it is withdrawn, the mainland will only be defended by those second-line troops that have just been formed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the biggest mistake made by the Southern Army in this war is to mutter about the speed of development of the Chinese people. As a result, the people of China are now sitting on a large scale, and they have threatened the fundamental interests of the Dainichi * Empire. Therefore, in this battle, we need to send the main force to wipe out the people of China in one fell swoop with the momentum of thunder, and completely win the victory of the Nanyang Operation. Otherwise, if they send fewer troops and do not defeat the Chinese people, this will undoubtedly give them another chance to develop. At that time, it will be even more difficult to eliminate the Chinese people. Prime Minister Hideki Tojo said.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister is right, we really can't let the people of China develop anymore. Today, the number of people in China has grown to more than 600,000. Although less than half of them are truly combative. But it's already very scary. If they are allowed to develop, they will surely become a great trouble for the Dainichi Empire. General Otozo Yamada said.

"Well, Your Excellency Prime Minister, what troops are you going to send to the South Seas?" General Sugiyama asked.

"The specific units to be transferred will be decided by the General Staff Headquarters. I have only one request, though. That is the army that is transferred, and it must be elite. Only in this way will the people of China be defeated. In addition, it is better to include tank units. The armor of the people of China is very strong. Our army in Nanyang was defeated by them in large part because of the armored strength of the Chinese people. Prime Minister Hideki Tojo emphasized.

General Sugiyama nodded in agreement. Now that we are ready to send reinforcements to the South Seas. Then, the reinforcements sent must naturally be the strongest elite. Otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain?

"In addition, the reinforcements sent to Nanyang are only temporary. After defeating the Shina people, they can immediately withdraw to the mainland. So, you don't have to worry too much. Prime Minister Hideki Tojo continued.

"Hi, Your Excellency Prime Minister!" General Sugiyama Mototo, and General Otoyama Yamada both said.

After the three commanders of the Japanese army reached an agreement, it had become a consensus to send reinforcements to Nanyang as soon as possible. The General Staff Headquarters of the Japanese Army has already begun to select reinforcements to be sent to Nanyang. These reinforcements will be sent to Nanyang in the shortest possible time.
