Chapter 57: Between the Peace and the War (3)

"How? Is the chief in a better mood? ”

Seeing Chiaki Matsuda withdrawing, everyone rushed up and asked.

"The chief's mood is still okay, it's not as bad as you are worried about, all he cares about is the political and economic situation in the future" Chiaki Matsuda roughly recounted Horiyoshi's concerns, and heard everyone nod again and again These are Japan's top elites, and you can understand it if you think about it a little more: it seems that the Japanese Navy has a great advantage, but this advantage is very fragile and short-lived, isn't the advantage after the Battle of Pearl Harbor not big? The entire Pacific Fleet has almost all the capital ships and only a few aircraft carriers remain, but even if they have a 23 times advantage over the Pacific Fleet, they are still beaten 1:4 by the Americans at Midway?

Of course, it is an advantage to have more troops and more ships, but it is not necessarily possible to win, if whoever has more troops and better ships will definitely win, then what is the training to fight the war, and everyone will compare the production volume together, so that the axis will never come out.

The Navy now understands how the hole of $30 billion came about, and most of it goes into the Navy's pocket, and the Army only gets a small part, so it's no wonder that the other side is not satisfied, thinking that the lion opened his mouth. Moreover, Hori Yiji also told another contradiction: Indian land is said to be distributed to meritorious soldiers, but now the army still has some battles to fight except for Hawaii, and everything else has basically died down, and if there is no war, there will be no military merits, and without military merits, there will be no benefits in the future. If the war is stopped now, it is the navy that will get the most money, followed by the Indian army and the Nanyang army in the army, and the Kwantung Army, which is the strongest, will not have any outstanding performance. Although Japan's top leaders are the best, they still attach great importance to military merits, and military merits cannot be obtained in public security warfare.

Kusaka Ryunosuke sighed and said: "The chief's concern really can't be guarded against, but if the country is concerned, the fleet still has to bring a batch, at least the Yamato must be brought there, otherwise it can't deter Xiaoxiao!" ”

"The commander said that he would take the Yamato, 1 escort aircraft carrier and a group of destroyers, just to cover the fleet of ships transporting supplies in the country, and the current Sixth Voyage War has been completed and put into service, and when the commander arrives, it can be officially formed into an army, which is just the right time to form the Turkish fleet."

"Let's take two more cruisers, I think the two ships Dadian and Rendian are more suitable, and the radio performance is good, which is convenient for the commander to command from a distance." Tsukahara Michichi, "The cruiser is more flexible, and then the 2nd and 3rd Marine Brigades are transferred to the vicinity of Tokyo. ”

"Isn't that going to be too much of a movement?"

"Then transfer a brigade regiment, no less, it is recommended that the commander should work on the Yamato every day, and he must pay attention to whether Takeda is in charge of the Guards Division, and I am afraid that others will make trouble."

"Yes, Takeda Raid, this Osaka businessman, is still sober-minded, and he is an Indian man, which is different from the ordinary army red deer."

Everyone talked about it, and first settled Hori's strategy to ensure that the latter couldn't cry or laugh after hearing it.

"Do you have any clue about the strategy that this governor intends to adopt?"

"The chief pondered for two days, and basically had a little plan, and just now he talked to me, suggesting that everyone discuss it and see how to improve it" Matsuda Chiaki combined his idea to show the attitude of the people under his idea who wanted to touch Horikichi, why didn't Horikichi want to take the opportunity to understand the thoughts of the generals?

First, to complete the Hawaiian attack and force the U.S. military to negotiate peace with the posture of occupying the place;

Second, the island of New Zealand was traded with Hawaii after the occupation, and the aborigines of New Zealand Island were all moved into Australia, recognizing the Pacific Ocean west of Midway as Japan's sphere of influence, and the area between Midway and Hawaii was shared by Japan and the United States, and the east of Hawaii belonged to the United States;

Third, the United States is responsible for paying off Japan's debt to Germany, calculated at $30 billion;

Fourth, the United States paid $30 billion in interest-free development loans in the name of the British government for a period of 99 years, and the official name of the construction of India was to make up for the damage caused by Britain's colonial rule in India, and in exchange, Japan could give the United States certain commercial benefits in the Far East and the Pacific.

Of course, among these four conditions, there is no mention of how to deal with the investment of American capital in the former Southeast Asia and the Far East, and it is by default that it belongs to Japan.

Everyone's brains spun fast:

First of all, the money owed to Germany must be cleared, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future, but Japan cannot come up with this money on its own, and it is necessary to carry out transfer payments according to General Tsukahara's statement and make the Americans the most wronged. In fact, the actual cost of armaments and materials paid by Germany is only equivalent to 15 billion US dollars, on the one hand, because of Germany's usual price increases, and on the other hand, because of the mark premium after repeated victories, the mark has appreciated by at least 25% relative to the dollar on the black market in the past two years;

Second, in order to build and develop India after the war, Japan had to obtain a start-up capital, which could not be obtained from Germany, because the latter itself had a large number of colonies to develop, and it had to find a way to make Japan poor. With this funding, Japan's vast territory will be able to become a reliable productive force for the next 3050 years, and Japan's power will eventually be strengthened.

Thirdly, if the loan of 30 billion US dollars is repaid without interest after 99 years, it actually means that if Japan is stronger and the United States is weaker at that time, then Japan will definitely not have to pay it back; If the United States is strong and Japan is weak at that time, then there is no need to think about it, India must have lost it, and the reason why I say this is nothing more than giving the United States a step down, which is much more civilized than "ILO" naked asking for 100 billion war reparations, and can also dress up Japan as a "vanguard against colonialism", just like now the navy is surrounding Hawaii and agreeing to the United States to redeem it according to the standard of $2,000 per person, which is "humanitarian" on the surface, but what is the difference between it and kidnapping and extortion?

Last but not least, exchanging Hawaii for New Zealand can reduce the anger of the United States and increase the success rate of reaching a deal. Second, you can also block the mouth of some people in China who are shouting "entering Australia and New Zealand" all day long, isn't this taking New Zealand?

As for the Solomon Islands and Bougainville in the southwest Pacific region, which are still under the control of the US military, not to mention, they must all be in the hands of Japan, and as for whether or not to sell Germany, it depends on other conditions.

After hearing this, everyone's faces were cloudy, this offer is much softer and more realistic than in China, the navy can barely accept it, at least none of the senior admirals of the Combined Fleet present today raised a clear objection, everyone discussed for a while, Nishimura first became impatient, and muttered: "I said you don't have to be dissatisfied, after the Battle of Midway, everyone is panicked and ready to die, who knows the current situation?" Now you talk left and right and analyze, do you seem to be more clever than the superiors? Why didn't anyone jump out and say I had a way to turn the tide? The chief is in a difficult situation now, and we need everyone to work together to support us to get through the difficulties, as long as we stop the war first and build India well, are you afraid that there will be no better opportunities in the future? My son is dead, but your son is not dead! Wouldn't it be nice to give some credit to your children and grandchildren? Do you have to do it all at once? How ugly is it to eat? ”

If Nishimura said this kind of thing in normal times, everyone would definitely not be happy, but now that the center is unstable, everyone can't help but think about it: strictly speaking, they are all descendants of the Hori faction, and if Horiyoshi falls, they will not end well, maybe it will be worse than defeating the battle.

Kakuji Tsunoda immediately came out in support: "I think Nishimura-kun has a point, this is something that politicians should consider, we are all soldiers, and it is our duty to complete the task." Don't be mistaken, the Chief, who told us that the news was worthy of us, to communicate with us, not to report to us, and not to ask for our approval! ”

After the second general Hum Ha spoke, the tone of the meeting was set, and the United Fleet formed a foreign agreement in a special way, which is at least a Japanese characteristic.
