Chapter 539: The Devil's Closed-Door Meeting
silence.
Or a lasting silence.
Hirohito, the Emperor of Showa, was one of the few powerful emperors in Japanese history. He had extraordinary personal abilities and skills, but he was still caught off guard when faced with the current situation.
Since last year, the devil's locust tribe knew that it had encountered many setbacks in China, especially in Shanxi, so not long ago it chose to send Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko from the locust tribe to supervise the battle.
It was originally thought that the arrival of the locust tribe to supervise the army would bring about a new atmosphere, and that the decline caused by the locust army in Jin in the previous stage could be crushed in one fell swoop.
But who would have thought that only a few days had passed? Taiyuan City was captured, and Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko's whereabouts were unknown.
It was like a big slap on the face of the devil Tian Huang, the sound was crisp and powerful enough.
This simply drove Hirohito a little crazy. His silence at this time did not mean that he had accepted the current defeat, but that he was brewing an even crazier revenge deep in his heart.
While the Japs were coveting China, they had never actually dreamed of swallowing up the entire country. Their idea had always been to completely digest the black soil outside the Great Wall as their strategic goal. To achieve this goal, they continued to capture cities and territories in the heart of China, and occupied various resources in order to obtain war resources to defeat the southwest, and ultimately conquer the southwest and seize the northeast.
The resources in Jin are abundant, and the Japanese need massive resources to support their invasion, so they pay special attention to it.
It can be said that among the lands occupied by the Japanese, apart from the Northeast, the land they cared about most was Shanxi.
But I didn't expect to suffer such a crushing defeat.
"Prime Minister, tell me, what strategy should we adopt next?"
The devil Tian Huang hesitated for a long time, and finally asked the then Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo.
Hearing Tian Peng asking this, Hideki Tojo's scalp instantly went numb. He had just been appointed Prime Minister yesterday, and now he had to face such a thorny problem. Tian Peng, you're still asking me what to do about this?
Hideki Tojo had a sentence "Fuck you" stuck in his throat and didn't know whether to say it or not.
However, he didn't dare to say it in the end. Considering that Emperor Hirohito now held real power, if he dared to say this damn thing, he would most likely be dismissed and even beheaded.
Tojo Hideki thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, it is basically impossible for us to completely annex China.
I wonder if we should consolidate the Northeast that we have taken and at the same time support a few warlords in North China who are inclined towards us, so that we can maximize our interests.
Of course, this does not mean that we will not continue to fight. If we can find a large oil field in the northeast or get enough crude oil from Indonesia, then we can continue to fight. "
The Japanese soldier gave a clever answer, which made his own thoughts known up front while not offending the young officers.
Because the group of young officers still on the battlefield in China have not yet gained enough military merit. If the news gets out today that Hideki Tojo says they are not allowed to fight anymore, it is very likely that they will be shot to death tonight.
After all, the lessons of the past are still fresh in our minds.
After hearing what Prime Minister Hideki Tojo said, many people present secretly cursed this guy for being a sly person, but everyone knew that he did not say anything wrong.
After hearing Tojo Hideki's reply, Tianhuang remained silent again.
It understood that what this guy said was right. After fighting with China for such a long time, it also understood one problem, that is, there were too few people on its side, and it was almost impossible to completely digest the occupied land. However, the southwest direction or the entire China was holding its breath and ready to launch a counterattack at any time.
According to the original situation, neither side could do anything to the other at this juncture, but now with the variable of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, the Japanese army from top to bottom was extremely troubled.
They were worried that the spark would turn into a raging flame in an instant.
"I'm asking you what to do? Come up with a practical plan, don't just talk nonsense." The Japanese Tianhuang Hirohito naturally understood Tojo Hideki's thoughts, and he wanted to force Tojo Hideki to give the answer he wanted.
After hearing these words, Hideki Tojo's head drooped even lower, and he wished he could bury it in his crotch.
But since Tian Huang had spoken, it was impossible for it to remain silent and pretend to be a grandson, so it continued, "Your Majesty, for now we have two plans to implement.
The first is to completely extinguish the fire in Jin, mobilize the surrounding locust troops to encircle and suppress it, and completely defeat the resistance forces in China.
However, once this plan is implemented, the defenses of several surrounding provinces will be extremely weak."
"No need to talk about the second plan, just this one. For the time being, do not call in the locust troops from other provinces. Transfer the Kwantung Army to North China and completely defeat the Chinese resistance forces."
The devil Tianhuang obviously knew what Tojo Hideki wanted to say next, so he made the final decision without giving it any chance to react.
It knew very well what the second option Hideki Tojo wanted to talk about. It could not tolerate allowing the Chinese resistance forces to grow stronger.
When the Japanese general Tian Huang said this, all the Japanese officers and ministers present were a little confused.
Now the Japanese from top to bottom have regarded Northeast China as their forbidden area. The troops stationed in Northeast China are also the very elite Kwantung Army. Now they are going to mobilize the Kwantung Army's heavy troops to attack Shanxi?
What about the border between Northeast China and North Korea?
Judging from the situation, Tianhuang is preparing to gamble on the country's destiny again. He is ready to go all in.
Tian Huang's tone was so firm that no one present raised any objection.
“Your Majesty, we are running low on fuel right now, and the price of steel and oil supplied to us by the United States has increased by 20%. If this continues, we will be under a lot of pressure.
If we decide to launch a large-scale attack on the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, our fuel supply will be a problem."
Another old man in the military looked worried, but it was obvious that he was still somewhat rational.
"Then we'll attack the United States as well!"
The devil Tianhuang said this in a very firm tone, and it was obvious that he was ready to go all in.
"They are asking us to pay with gold, dollars and pounds, and they have taken too much out of us. We absolutely cannot tolerate this.
If they still don’t understand, then beat them until they understand.”
The devil Tianhuang added.
Among the Japanese soldiers present, a few were worried after hearing this, but most of them had fanaticism in their eyes.
"Before we attack Jin, we have to figure out one thing: where is our Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko? He has made contributions to our country, and we must give him respect!"
Tian Huang asked with some worry.
As a member of the Japanese locust room, Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko is more concerned with the reputation of the locusts. This cannot be left outside for people to attack without restraint.
