"The United States joins the war?" Fushimi Gong Bogong immediately became speechless.
As the Minister of Naval Command, Fushimi Miyahiroky¨ has a deep understanding of the power of the U.S. Navy. Moreover, the power of the United States is not only the navy itself, but even more powerful is their industrial manufacturing base. Once a war breaks out, the U.S.'s powerful civilian Industry can be converted to military use, and warships, aircraft and cannons can be continuously produced.
And in fact, the Navy has already seriously discussed the possibility of war between Japan and the United States.
At that meeting, the speech made by Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the commander of the Naval Combined Fleet, was the most representative.
If it only faces the Pacific Fleet of the U.S. Navy, then the Japanese Navy has a clear advantage, but if it faces the entire U.S. Navy, both sides will be evenly matched.
Therefore, if you are determined to declare war on the United States, you must seize the tactical advantage, destroy the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet with a thunderous force, and then occupy Hawaii within three months and bring the war to the United States. Even if you cannot Landing on the west coast of the United States will at least destroy the industry on the west coast of the United States.
However, the staff officers of the Naval Command Department have conducted countless simulations, but none of them have been able to achieve their goals.
This means that if you really declare war on the United States, even if the Japanese Navy wins initially, it will definitely lose in the end. This is almost the consensus within the navy.
At this time, Xianyuan Gong Zairen said: "The core interests of the United States are in Europe and in the entire Southeast Asia. The United States only cares about the interests of Luzon. We just don't attack Luzon! In this way, the United States will not be alarmed. With the war beast, it is entirely possible for the empire to achieve its goal of quickly occupying Southeast Asia."
Konoe Fumimaro slammed the table and said angrily: "This is simply wishful thinking. I firmly oppose pinning the hope of success on the assumption that the United States will not participate in the war. This is too ridiculous and stupid!"
Xianyuan Gong Zairen said quietly: "If you are always timid and fearful of the east and the west, how can you win the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894? If you are always afraid of powerful enemies and dare not fight, how can you win the war? The glorious victory of the Russian War? Even in the Wicker Lake Incident, if the officers and soldiers of the Kwantung Army lacked the courage to challenge the 400,000 Northeastern Army with less than 10,000 troops, how could they later achieve the feat of annexing the entire Manchuria? "
After saying this, Xianyuan Gong Zairen looked around again and continued: "Your Majesty, and all the gentlemen, bet on the fate of the country. What is gambling on the fate of the country? Gambling requires courage!"
"No, no, no, I firmly oppose it." Konoe Fumimaro said angrily, "Back then, the empire was so small that it was big, so it was proposed to bet on the fate of the country. But now the empire has already become a big country, especially when facing China, the empire regardless of politics , economic, military and even cultural levels, have already occupied an overwhelming advantage. In this case, I don¡¯t think it is a good idea to gamble on the fate of the country. We can definitely find a relatively decent way to end the war between Japan and China, and then develop with peace of mind, so In less than thirty years, the empire¡¯s comprehensive national power will surely catch up with the United States. By then, we will be able to easily dominate the entire Asia without having to constrain ourselves as we are now.¡±
After saying that, Konoe Fumimaro bowed deeply to Hirohito and said sadly: "Your Majesty, I hope you will learn from this!"
Hirohito's brows frowned deeply. From the bottom of his heart, he was a staunch war expansionist. However, as the emperor and the real master of Japan, he still maintained his rationality and was very clear about Japan's national army and military strength. I know that challenging the United States at this time and awakening the beast is not a good option.
¡°However, it was somewhat unwilling to let Hirohito give up this God-given opportunity.
Now that the attention of Western powers such as Britain and France has been attracted to Europe by Germany, it is really a great opportunity for Japan to seize the opportunity to occupy Southeast Asia. Once it obtains the iron ore, crude oil and rubber resources in Southeast Asia, Japan will usher in An unprecedented great development. If it really happens, it will not take thirty years, but only ten years. Japan's national power will be able to catch up with the United States, and the Japanese Navy will dare to open up its posture and fight with the U.S. Navy in the Pacific!
So, Hirohito fell into a huge struggle in his heart.
Just when Hirohito was hesitant, Hiranuma Kiichiro, who had always had little presence in the cabinet, suddenly said weakly: "Your Majesty, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
Hirohito waved his hand and said without thinking: "Speak."
Hiranuma Kiichiro said: "Your Majesty, the views expressed by His Royal Highnesses Fushimi-miya and Kanin-miya are actually consistent with the views expressed by Konoe-kun"
Hearing this, Konoe Fumimaro's lungs almost exploded with anger.
You are the finance minister of the Konoe cabinet, okay? NoIt¡¯s the dog of Kanin Palace and Fushimi Palace!
Before Hiranuma Kiichiro could finish speaking, Konoe Fumimaro forcibly interrupted: "Hiranuma-kun, are you a pig? I think the empire should avoid going to war with the United States and end the Japanese war with dignity, while Kanin Palace and Fushimi The two Highnesses hold the same opinion, but they believe that we should resolutely go to war with the United States and continue to expand the war. Can these two be the same?"
"Uh" Hiranuma Kiichiro said awkwardly, "The two do seem to be completely different, but if you think about it carefully, they actually have something in common, because whether they want to end the Japanese War with dignity or start a war with the United States , I¡¯m afraid we all need to accomplish a small goal first, and we must first pull out the nail in Yinjiang, right?¡±
??Whether it was Hirohito, Fushimi Miyahiroyasu, Kanin Miyazaihito or Konoe Fumimaro, their hearts moved.
It¡¯s true, Hiranuma Kiichiro is really right. No matter which option you choose in the end, one thing has been determined first, that is, the nail in Yinjiang must be pulled out!
The reason is very simple. If the nail of Yinjiang is not removed, it will be impossible to end the war between Japan and China with dignity.
And if war is declared against the United States, the threat to Yinjiang will be even greater. Once aid from the United States continues to flow into Yinjiang City, the Chinese government will be able to build a real industrial base in a short time, and it can also Establish dozens or even hundreds of elite artists within your organization!
What¡¯s even more terrifying is that U.S. Air Force bombers taking off from Yinjiang Airport can directly threaten the security of Japan¡¯s domestic industrial cities and ports! By then, Japan's domestic industrial production will suffer a fatal blow. If this situation occurs, Japan will lose the war without any doubt, and will lose the war in a short period of time.
Thinking of this, Hirohito made a decision in his heart. He stood up and said: "Then, let us take Yinjiang first. After taking Yinjiang City, we will decide whether to declare war on the United States or end the war in an honorable manner." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
