1255 Ambition Brought by Strength

These are unacceptable to Hirohito, the military, and the entire empire!

No one wants to spit out the fat that they have eaten in their mouths, let alone when they have already paid a heavy price.

What's even more terrifying is that even if the empire is willing to spit out the fat that has been eaten in its mouth, the Chinese side may not be willing to agree to the entire empire, and now it is really difficult to ride a tiger.

"We have not only the main island, but also the occupied zone of China, as well as the Korean colony......"

Hirohito forcibly calmed down his anger and asked, "Now that the territory of my empire has expanded several times, can't we even get the supplies to supply the battlefield of China?" ”

"In our occupied areas and colonies, all the rice and white flour have been included in the ranks of munitions, and all the products produced on this island have been supplied to the front line as much as possible, and the front line has also vigorously promoted ......the plan of feeding the war with war, but it is still a drop in the bucket."

A minister stood up and said with an ugly face: "I am very clear about the situation in the occupied areas and colonies from time to time, but the people of the empire on this island have fainted and died suddenly from time to time, and the physical development of teenagers is also extremely slow...... All of this is due to severe malnutrition! ”

"Is the situation so serious?"

Hirohito said with a sad face, of course he had heard of these news, but he just didn't want to believe that the empire, which had grown stronger and stronger since the Meiji Restoration, would fall to such a point in just two years because of a war and it was still under his rule!

Many ministers did not speak, because everyone knew that it was true.

"Your Excellency Tojo, your military tried its best to advocate an all-out war, but now it is like this, aren't you ready to say something, and are not prepared to take any action to save the current situation?" Hirohito yelled.

"Hi, Emperor!"

The chief minister of the military, Hideki Tojo, said with a sigh of excitement: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the war has developed into the current situation, and our military is indeed to blame, in fact, our military has already made further plans!" ”

"Tell me about it!" Hirohito Road.

"It is impossible for us to end this war quickly, and the war has inevitably moved towards the stage of protracted war!"

Hideki Tojo said: "In order to prevent our army from being dragged to death because of supplies, we have to open up a new battlefield, only in this way can we plunder more supplies and support the war on the battlefield of China!" ”

"What? Did I hear me right? ”

Not only Hirohito, but also the ministers present except for the military almost jumped up in surprise, a branch of the battlefield has already been solved, and now they actually want to open up a new battlefield? Are these war maniacs in the military crazy?

"There's no way around it!"

Hideki Tojo said with a crazy look in his eyes: "The train of war has started, we can't stop, and the people of Shina won't let us stop, so we can only move forward, either destroy all the enemies or be destroyed, we have no other way to go!" ”

The crowd was silent, and they all knew that this was the case.

"The strategic needs of the Shina battlefield are huge, even if we can occupy a few small countries and small territories, and the materials we can collect are simply drinking to quench our thirst, and we can't solve the problem......," Hirohito said.

"Your Majesty, the military also knows that just occupying a few small countries cannot solve the material problem once and for all!"

Hideki Tojo sneered: "So, our goal is the whole of East Asia, and the whole of East Asia will provide supplies for the army of our empire, and it will not be able to support our army to completely conquer China......"

"Are you guys in the military crazy?"

"Yes, only a madman would have delusional thoughts of taking over all of East Asia...... Don't forget, although India and Vietnam are vulnerable, India is a colony of the British, Vietnam is a colony of the French, and when we occupy these places, we are going to war against Britain and France, and we are not a poor and weak country like China with constant internal strife! ”

Many ministers looked at Hideki Tojo and other military ministers as if they were idiots, and sharply accused.

"We, the military, are thinking about the future of the empire and are by no means crazy!"

Hideki Tojo sneered: "If we don't occupy East Asia and continue to fight like this, our empire will finally have to meet the fate of defeat, and when the time comes, the people of China will not let us go, and the Koreans will not let us go, do you want to see my empire where the sun never sets, and one day become a colony of the Koreans of the Chinese people, and my great Yamato nation will become a slave of the country?" ”

"This is war, if we don't try to destroy the enemy, the enemy will do everything possible to destroy us, we can only advance, we can't stop, we can't retreat, as for the result, we will only know when the time comes!" Hideki Tojo continued.

Hirohito closed his eyes in pain, he seemed to have seen that the empire was heading for a path of self-destruction, but he had no way to rescue him.

The same was true of many ministers, and it was only after a while that someone asked: "If we spread the flames of war throughout East Asia, Britain and France will probably not be able to sit idly by!" ”

"So we're going to wait, wait for a godsend!"

Hideki Tojo said confidently: "Germany and Italy may provoke a war on the European continent at any time, Britain and France are impossible to stay out of the matter, once the war starts, they are mud bodhisattvas crossing the river and it is difficult to protect themselves, and the old nest may be gone, where can they take care of their colonies?" So these two countries are not worth worrying about at all, but the Americans are ......"

"Americans? Although the United States is now a superpower, both in science and technology and in terms of military strength, they have been operating in the Americas, and the war in East Asia will not infringe on their interests at all. Hirohito asked, puzzled.

"Any strong country has an ambition to conquer the world, and this is true of our empire, as well as of Germany, Italy, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union......"

Hideki Tojo said with emotion: "The United States has such a powerful scientific and technological and military force, will they be able to retreat to the Americas to be their head snake?" They don't make a move now, just because they are still afraid, they are not sure of their strength, they are not sure of their place in this world, once they determine their position, when the time comes, will they resist the temptation of seeing everywhere and getting the benefits that they can get as long as they make a move? ”

He didn't say more, but everyone understood what he was trying to say.

Once the Americans make a move, I am afraid that the whole world pattern will change accordingly!
