Chapter 705: Countermeasures (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

The reason why the island nation is so powerful now is entirely based on the victory of two major wars. After the victory of the two wars that bet on the operation of the island nation, the island country has received huge war dividends.

However, if this war is lost, it is conceivable that the rise of the island nation will be completely interrupted. Even, they will decline again and become the object of enslavement of the Western powers.

Therefore, these military generals and politicians of the island nation absolutely do not want the island country to lose in this war.

Although, in this war, the island countries also used national transportation to block it. However, they hope to be victorious, so that they can bring all of Southeast Asia under their rule. As a result, the island nation will once again have a chance to take off.

"Either way, we have to win this fight." General Rokuro Yashiro said.

"Yes, this battle must be won!" Senior General Shimamura Suo also said.

"However, the navy is afraid that there is no way to confront the German navy. Even if the combined fleet tried its best, it was no match for them. "General Goro Ijiin is a little worried.

"The current state of the Navy is like this, and the Cabinet can't let us kill ourselves! When the German Navy's expeditionary fleet arrived, we retreated into the harbor, and the Germans had nothing to do with us. Admiral Suo Shimamura suggested.

"Well, that's a good idea. Or we can sneak up on those transports of the Germans. If something goes wrong with the transport ship, the consequences will be quite serious. Perhaps, the Germans, without fuel, shells, food and water, might have surrendered to us. In this way, the Imperial Navy will not only be able to win a big victory, but will even be able to take advantage of this opportunity to further strengthen our strength. Those battlecruisers of the Germans were all powerful and excellent battleships! General Yashiro said excitedly, as if the tactic they considered would definitely succeed.

Admiral Goro Ijiin was also bright-eyed, and if the nine battle cruisers of the German Navy could be captured, it would make the strength of the island country's navy second only to the German navy in one fell swoop. With the strength of the US Navy seriously damaged, they can even dominate the Pacific Ocean. As soon as he thought of this, General Goro Ijiin was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

"Report! Your Excellency General, Your Excellency the Prime Minister, please come to the Prime Minister's Office for a meeting immediately. The secretary reported.

"Well, go get ready for the car, I'll go right away." Admiral Rokuro Yashiro nodded.

"Yes, Your Excellency." The secretary immediately left and went to get ready.

"Presumably it was a discussion on how to deal with the Germans. Yashiro-kun, no matter what, the navy can't fight hard with the Germans. In that case, we don't have the slightest chance of winning. We had to save our strength and then attack the German transports. In this case, there is a chance of winning. The navy has finally reached its current size, and we can't let the army's horse manure pit us. General Goro Ijiin said.

General Yashiro Rokuro nodded: "Don't worry, I know what to do!" ”

By the time Admiral Rokuro Yashiro arrived at the Prime Minister's Office, the other four ministers of the Cabinet Five had already arrived. At the same time, Senior General Hasegawa Yoshimichi, chief of staff of the Army, also attended the meeting as an observer.

"Yashiro-kun, I'm waiting for you!" Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma said.

"Hi, I'm sorry, Your Excellency Prime Minister, it's too late." Admiral Rokuro Yashiro immediately apologized.

"No, you're not late, it's still early. It's just that everyone arrived early, so let's start the meeting early! Shigenobu Okuma said.

"Hey!" Admiral Rokuro Yashiro nodded.

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the information we have so far, the German expeditionary fleet has entered the Indian Ocean. It is expected that in half a month, it will arrive in Southeast Asia. It won't be long before they reach the sea near the empire. The expeditionary fleet of the Germans, menacing. How should the empire respond this time? Shigenobu Okuma asked.

Everyone's eyes fell on General Rokuro Yashiro. After all, this time the Germans sent the navy. Then, naturally, it is up to the Navy to deal with it.

"Your Excellency, we have analyzed the strength of the German Navy's expeditionary fleet. It has to be admitted that the strength of the German naval expeditionary fleet was very strong, far above the Reich Navy. The Imperial Navy, even if all combined, was no match for the German Navy's expeditionary fleet. If it fought head-on with the German Naval Expeditionary Fleet, the Reich Navy would surely be defeated. General Rokuro Yashiro said. Although admitting it personally that it was inferior to the German naval expeditionary fleet, it seemed a little too embarrassing. But now is not the time to be a hero, and the most important thing is to preserve the strength of the navy as much as possible.

"Coward! Don't you even have the courage to resist the German Naval Expeditionary Fleet? Lu Xianggang Ichinosuke sneered.

"Knowing that the enemy's strength is strong, and hitting a stone with an egg, that is the behavior of a reckless man. Only you army horse manure will do that! Admiral Rokuro Yashiro fought back.

Suddenly, Okaichi Nosuke and Yashiro Rokuro seemed to be about to start a fierce quarrel again.

"Alright, you all be quiet!" Okuma Shigenobu said angrily.

Okaichi Nosuke and Yashiro Rokuro stopped.

"You are all important ministers of the Empire, and now that the Empire is at its most critical juncture, it is better to think about how to deal with the Germans if you have the strength to quarrel here. The Germans are menacing this time, and if they can't be defeated, the consequences will be very serious! Shigenobu Okuma said.

"Your Excellency, the Army is ready for battle. We have sent 10 more divisions and regiments to Southeast Asia, with more than 200,000 troops. If the Germans dare to come, we will definitely be able to defeat them and let them know how powerful the Imperial Army is. But alas, the Germans only sent the navy this time, not the army at all. Okaichi Nosuke looked disappointed.

The Germans seem to have been preoccupied with the war against the British mainland. That's why the army wasn't sent. However, the Germans are still strong and we should not underestimate them. Foreign Minister Takaaki Kato also said.

"Yachishiro-kun, is there really no way for the Navy to deal with the expeditionary fleet of the Germans? With the Germans not sending an army, as long as the Imperial Navy was able to defeat the German Navy, we won. Kura Watsuki Reijiro looked at General Yashiro Rokuro with a look of hope.
