Chapter 825: Hideki Tojo's Surprising Answer
The Imperial Palace of Japan, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.
Emperor Hirohito was wearing a military uniform, staring sharply at the standing in front of him, respectfully waiting for Hideki Tojo and Mineichi Koga.
For Hideki Tojo, although it was not the first time to meet Emperor Hirohito, it was also very honored and nervous.
As for the first time to meet Emperor Hirohito at such a close distance, Koga Mineichi was excited, flattered, and nervous.
"Germany's Führer Hitler sent me a secret telegram last night, saying that they were about to bomb the US mainland in retaliation for the hatred of the German troops killed by the US troops on the battlefield on the Western Front!"
"Of course, I don't know Hitler's real thoughts and intentions for the time being, but such things have a great encouraging effect on the increasingly unfavorable war situation in our empire!"
"That's why I'm so anxious to summon the two of you to discuss how to assist the German army in its sneak bombing, and how to prevent the German army from infiltrating troops into the Pacific here!"
"Because I believe that you have already seen the strength of the new aircraft carrier fleet of the German army, and their aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft groups are absolutely comparable to those of the US military!"
"At the very least, the new aircraft carriers they sell us are more advanced than those of the US military!"
Emperor Hirohito got straight to the point and said it straight to the point.
After speaking, Hideki Tojo and Mine Koga looked at each other for a moment, and then thought in silence.
"Do you have any opinions, or ideas?"
Seeing the two of them behaving like this, Emperor Hirohito's eyes froze and asked even more sharply.
"Chen is thinking about how our navy should cooperate with this sneak attack of the German army, but I wonder if the German army has said that they bombed the place on the US mainland, and how many aircraft carrier fleets and troops they will send to the Pacific Ocean, and need us to assist them in the war?"
Koga Mine was the first to raise his head, staring at Emperor Hirohito, and after taking a deep breath, he plucked up his courage and said.
"You are talking about these German Führer Hitler did not say, he just asked us to give them a relatively close island airfield in the Pacific, so that their new long-range bombers can take off and assist their carrier-based aircraft in bombing!"
Emperor Hirohito recalled the contents of the telegram sent to him by Chen Yanlong, and then said truthfully.
"But we have now lost a lot of Pacific islands, and if we want to give the Germans access to the island airfields of the US mainland, we really have to plan this thing well!"
After listening, Koga Feng was stunned, and then responded embarrassed and worried.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you! You are the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy of our Empire, so don't disgrace our Empire again, especially in front of our ally Germany! ”
In this regard, Emperor Hirohito also had a gloomy face and said in a very stern tone.
"Yes! Your Majesty! ”
"I will definitely try my best to win back face for the empire and complete this combat mission!"
Koga Mineichi hurriedly responded loudly.
Because he knew that once he lost the trust and support of Emperor Hirohito, then his future as the commander-in-chief of the combined fleet would be at the end of the day.
Not only did he not have the opportunity to go to the next level, but he might even be given small shoes by Emperor Hirohito and find a way to get rid of his official position.
Therefore, as soon as he thought of this, Koga immediately shuddered and immediately showed his loyalty and ability to Emperor Hirohito.
Although it would take some time to really get rid of him as commander-in-chief of the navy, and Emperor Hirohito seemed to be just a sham in their eyes, he still didn't want to offend Emperor Hirohito.
Because I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm most afraid that if Emperor Hirohito's methods are more clever than his, it will be a tragedy, right?
"And do you have any good proposals in your cabinet? Prime Minister Hideki Tojo! ”
Emperor Hirohito was still very satisfied with Koga Mineichi's expression of awe, so he immediately turned his head to look at Hideki Tojo, who was still standing quietly and observing the situation, and asked.
"Our cabinet will definitely do its best to assist the German army in bombing the US mainland, because this is only beneficial to us and not harmful!"
Hideki Tojo immediately agreed.
"And if Your Majesty is worried that the German army will infiltrate our forces into the Pacific Ocean, I feel that this matter is not possible now, because the current German army is deeply trapped in the two battlefields of the Eastern and Western Fronts, and there is no extra force to be transferred to participate in the Pacific War!"
"And even if the German army can draw part of its troops to participate in the Pacific War, then we only need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, let the German army and the American army fight to the death in the Pacific, and reap the benefits of the fisherman!"
"I can't ask for such a result!"
Hideki Tojo replied with a bright smile.
Emperor Hirohito's astonishing answer to Hideki Tojo's eyes lit up, and his heart became recognized and joyful.
