"Your Excellency, the Empire has given you all it has."

King Minoru Higashikure knew that the rapid growth of the Japanese army and navy in a short period of time came at a cost.

This was obtained on the basis of paying 30,000 tons of gold, and it was calculated and redeemed according to 95% purity.

The total supply of Japan looted about 68,000 tons of gold from the occupied territories, which amounted to nearly 45% of the reserves spent at once.

In addition to changing the guns of the front-line soldiers, the material reserves in the rear have also become extremely abundant, at least the cabinet does not have to worry about fuel anymore.

Moreover, the Divine Envoy also provided the Empire with tens of millions of tons of high-quality steel ingots (all of which were unsalable products from other time and space), aluminum ingots and other semi-finished products at a very reasonable price.

This has greatly unleashed Japan's industrial capacity, with shipbuilding and aircraft production capacity increasing by almost half.

However, the war is far from over, and the goal of defeating the United States, controlling the entire western Pacific and annexing Australia is still within reach.

"Your Excellency, what do you want to say?"

The young man of the second cargo knew that this guy would not mention the matter of gold without anything, so he must have taken this as an introduction to the topic.

“…… At this scale, the empire can only be exchanged three times at most, but it may not be able to defeat the allies! ”

King Higashikure Minoruhiko thinks that he has to plan for the long haul and can't be as self-righteous as the short-sighted fools in the cabinet.

"Hehe, it seems that Prime Minister Tojo, and some people don't think so!"

Ever since receiving the help of Amaterasu and the oracles, those who get carried away are extremely optimistic about the prospects of the war.

They declared that the empire would defeat the United States in the east, push India to the west, defeat the Soviet Union in the north, and occupy Australia in the south.

So far, there is still some possibility of achieving the last goal, and the other three are not necessarily achievable.

"......" Higashikure Minoru Wang thought: Tojo? He's an idiot corporal with nothing in his eyes!

But in words, it is still necessary to deal with the facts, so as not to cause complications: "Your Excellency, I wonder if there is any other way for you to keep the empire afloat?" Thank you under it! ”

In order to get the secret recipe for fighting with the United States, he also put down the prince's shelf and kowtowed to the second young man on the tatami mat.

"You don't have to be like this, my lord, New Guinea and Australia are both good places, the former has four or five thousand tons of gold, and the latter has six or seven thousand tons of gold. It adds up to at least 10,000 tons, and it should be possible to buy a brand new combined fleet! ”

The price of the "Zeppelin" class aircraft carrier is only 100 tons of gold, and the price of the H41 type battleship is only 300 tons.

If you say 10,000 tons, you will take out 2,000 or 3,000 tons of gold, which is enough to build a huge fleet across the oceans.

"That's right...... However, mining requires a lot of time and manpower, which may be ......."

King Minoru Higashikure longs for the other party to give away a bunch of warships from the empire for nothing, which is much better than spending time and effort to mine.

"It seems that the last thing the empire lacks is people, right? Getting 10 million or 20 million people to come over to work as miners can also solve the employment problem, reduce the number of unemployed tourists, and directly ensure the security of various jurisdictions! ”

Want to get a discount? That's not dripping!

If you don't put all the gold in your hands, the deity won't stop there.

“…… God makes your voice reasonable! ”

It didn't achieve the expected effect, and King Higashikure Minoru had to be perfunctory.

"If the forces of the Reich can occupy South Africa, there are fifty or sixty thousand tons of gold buried there! If nothing else, the empire will be safe for a hundred years! ”

Don't you want to take advantage?

Lao Tzu will draw you a super pie, and use your brain to gnaw it!

“…… It's true? ”

King Higashikure had only heard that South Africa was known as the land of gold, but he did not know the exact reserves.

"Of course! The Witwatersrand, or Rand vein for short, is the world's largest gold vein on which Johannesburg was built. For it, Britain unleashed the Boer War. The main forces of the British army were now drawn to North Africa and the mainland, and there were also parts of India and Burma. South Africa is simply an undefended country, which means that the vault of the British Empire is wide open to us. As long as we give back what the British took from the Boers, we can get the support of the locals, except for gold, we can give them, and even help them build their own country. ”

In this time and space, the flickering ability of the second-class young man can even surpass that of the mustachioed head.

“…… Makes sense, but I'm afraid it won't be until after the Empire takes over Australia, right? ”

Being able to grasp fifty or sixty thousand tons of gold again at once, it is obvious that King Minoru Higashikure is very interested in this plan.

It's just that South Africa and Japan's bases in the East Indies are too far away across the Indian Ocean.

If Australia is not captured, the U.S.-led Allies will always use it as a springboard to threaten their own security.

"Therefore, we must immediately implement the 'Xiang No. 1' battle plan!"

Damn, I still want you to mine as soon as possible?

As a great chrono thief, one ton of gold is not too little, and ten thousand tons is not too much.

"Your Excellency, does the Empire really need to move to Australia?"

This is not only the doubts of King Minoru Higashikure, but the royal family is also reluctant to leave this plan.

Although the young man had already gone to Tokyo to discuss with the Imperial Family and the Cabinet, they had not yet made up their minds to move.

"Hmph~! Lord, think about it, if the British royal family moved to North America after discovering the New World, where did the United States come from now? Britain can occupy the entire North American continent, sit on the advantage of two oceans, do not need to worry about the impact of European war on its own economy, can develop as it pleases, and is still a well-deserved world hegemon today! I'm afraid that its military strength will be difficult for Germany, Italy, and Japan to compete with, right? ”

Britain did not move, which should be the biggest regret in history.

Heroes like Qiu Pang don't know the importance of moving.

The strength of a country depends on its population, land, industry, military and other aspects.

However, for industrially mature developed countries, the key to national strength is determined only by the number of people and the size of the country.

If you have a large territory and a large population, you will have a strong army, which is a simple truth.

“……”

King Higashikure Minoru was powerless to refute and could only fall into deep thought.

"To put it mildly, when Portugal moved to Brazil, I'm afraid how can it be considered a second-rate country now, right? Stay in Europe, you can't even climb to the second rate! ”

I really don't know what to be nostalgic for in that broken place in Europe that has been war-torn for many years.

When Japan moved to Australia, it had the basic conditions to compete with the United States for hundreds of years.

Although the United States occupies the most fertile part of North America, Japan also occupies Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Indochina.

It can be said that the two sides are on a par in terms of turf, and Japan may be superior.

"Britain should have moved to Australia after the First World War. First, you can avoid the birthplace of the Second World War and stay away from Germany. Second, it can facilitate the control of important colonies such as South Africa, India and the Middle East. No one has put forward such an important strategic plan. Hehe, so mortals are mortals after all, only looking at the present, there is no long-term plan! ”

Britain's abandonment of North America was tantamount to automatically abandoning its intention to become an eternal empire.

If Australia is released, it will directly give up the throne of world hegemony to the United States.

Even if you move to Australia, control the surrounding area, and absorb the local population.

After decades of development, Britain is still a powerful country that can compete with the United States.

There is no need to abdicate after World War II, and unwillingly become the follower and thug of the former younger brother.

"That 'Xiang' plan ......"

The amount of information that King Higashikure Minoru was instilled with was too large to digest for a while, so he could only continue to be a mortal and take care of his immediate interests.

"It's the first step into Australia!"

You pig teammates, playing with you, you can't keep up with the rhythm of the deity.

Everything should be turned into a shelf pig, put on the fire, and roasted until it is medium-rare.

"Sho" means "victory" in Japanese!

"Juxiang" is a huge victory!

But in another place, the word and phrase mean something else.

What is it, please open your brain, it tastes great anyway......

The second cargo youth led an artillery fleet of forty-seven warships and slaughtered the Iron Bottom Strait with great vigour.

This is because one of the key points of attack and defense of the Japanese and American forces on the island is the coastline on the north side.

At 9 a.m. on May 28, an office worker was busy at work.

Wakatsuki Shin also ordered his doglegs to start work, and used the main and secondary artillery to cover the U.S. military-occupied area of Kuah Island.

In the absence of the discovery of incoming US fighters and fleets, it will be carried out as originally planned.

"Boom, boom, boom............"

The flames erupted, the flames surged, and the heavy hull weighing 70,000 tons moved backwards under the drive of huge recoil.

The magnificent scene of 24 420-mm guns firing one after another was thrilling and unforgettable.

More than a dozen seconds later, a deafening explosion erupted in a distant jungle area, and a series of mushroom clouds rose into the air.

To carry out shelling of the opposite shore, shells of this caliber do not require too high accuracy, as long as they fall within thirty meters of the CEP, it is enough to destroy the target.

Because the U.S. military was not the weaker side of the Japanese army, a large number of underground bunkers were built in order to withstand the strong firepower of the other side.

With tents, foxholes and anti-artillery holes, how could such a thing withstand the bombardment of the main guns of the H41 battleship?

Even soldiers who were fifty or sixty meters away from the point of impact had to be shocked to death by the sound of the explosion.

As long as the shells could land in about the same place, a salvo of the main guns of the three H41 battleships could wipe out an infantry battalion of the American army.

“…… My God! ”

The commander of the 25th Infantry Division, Major General Collins, first felt a jolt under his feet and heard a deafening explosion.

Then I saw a sea of hideous fires, and instantly leveled a hilltop position.

The 420-millimeter projectile sent the defending soldiers, along with the soil layer, into the air at a height of more than ten meters.

The area of the shelled area of the 35th Battalion of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the US Army, which was attacking the 2nd Wing of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army.

Regiment Commander Robert? Colonel Kollor shouted hoarsely into the microphone, "...... Repeat, our unit was shelled by enemy battleships, and immediately air support was requested! ”

Seeing the scale of the exposure at that level, the regiment commander immediately realized that the other side had used large surface ships to carry out the artillery mission.

If your own air force does not appear in time, then it will not be long before your own infantry regiment will be swatted to death by the opposing battleships like swatting flies.

Because Guadalcanal's widest point is only 48 kilometers, the 420-millimeter main guns of the "Hequan" can almost penetrate Kuah Island with a single shot.

The carrier-based seaplane could observe the impact point and call the battleship to correct the target position in time.

The "Yunying" and "Chongying" aircraft carriers are equivalent to the US escort aircraft carriers, and the two aircraft can carry a total of 50 carrier-based aircraft.

The young man ordered them all to be replaced with carrier-based fighters, and not to use any other dive bombers and torpedo attack planes.

These two aircraft carriers have only one mission, which is to ensure the safety of the fleet with carrier-based aircraft.

As long as US fighters attack, carrier-based fighters must intercept them outside the range of the air defense fire network.

If you miss it, you can use the anti-aircraft cannon to kill it, so that your ship can reduce the probability of being hit as much as possible.

“…… Your Excellency, will the U.S. fleet and warplanes really show up? ”

As a small partner of the second-class youth, Masao Nishida has been exceptionally promoted to major general because of his outstanding achievements in the southward operation.

However, he still doesn't quite understand the plan to enter the Iron Bottom Strait for the second time, and the US military doesn't seem to be so easy to take the bait.

"What do you think we should do with the tens of thousands of U.S. troops on the island if we keep bombing like this? How long will they last? ”

As long as the deity is in a good mood, he can make the battleship "Izumi" fire a salvo every two minutes.

Thirty times an hour, one hour, one hour, one hour, and four hours of meals, three hundred times a day.

What will be the effect of 2,400 rounds of 420-mm shells falling on the heads of American troops?

I am afraid that at the end of the day, the US army will be able to cripple an infantry division.

After a week passes, there should be few people left in the US ground forces on Kuah Island who can fight.

Besides, let's fight this time...... It was not the ship "Izumi" that fired the guns, there were three battleships of the H41 type alone.

Together with the 283 and 203 mm guns on the "Scharnhorst" and many heavy cruisers, it should be able to give the US troops on the opposite side a free fireworks show.

"I see, please forgive me for being blunt!"

Masao Nishida remembered the last time this guy used his divine power to hit the US fighter plane, and he was immediately relieved.

This oracle can quickly repair the first part of a battleship, and can quickly reload torpedoes, as well as cannonballs.

As long as he was on his own battleship, the battleship "Izumi" should be invincible and invincible.

Bombarding the infantry with the main artillery of a battleship is a veritable hanging!

Both the U.S. and British forces did this during the landing operation, and now the deity is playing with it, and it doesn't hurt.

Whether the ant targets on the shore can survive or not depends on your creation......

If God can't bless you, please call the brain-loving "gnawing grandpa" in time!
