    The White House in Washington was in mourning, but the Imperial Palace in Tokyo was in jubilation.

    Almost at the same time that Roosevelt convened the joint meeting, Hirohito also held an imperial meeting at the Imperial Palace. However, this imperial meeting was not for decision-making, but only to listen to the report of the Navy Department.

    At this moment, Navy Minister Mitsumasa Yoneuchi is reporting the results of the war to Hirohito.

    There was irrepressible excitement in Mitsumasa Yoneuchi's tone: "Your Majesty, although the final results have not yet been calculated, several big data can be determined. First of all, the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet no longer exists. For a long time in the future,  Within a short period of time, the Imperial Navy will have no rivals in the Pacific."

    "Furthermore, the U.S. military facilities such as oil depots, grain depots, and shipyards and repair shops stored on the island have been completely taken over by the 2nd Division, without even the slightest damage! Judging from the scale of the oil depots and grain depots alone, the heavy oil stored is at least  4 million tons, at least 2 million tons of grain!¡±

    Hearing this, the study room burst into cheers.

    Hirohito also clenched his fist very hard.

    No matter what, this is an exciting result!

    "Great!" Hideki Tojo breathed a sigh of relief, and then said happily, "The empire's annual oil consumption is only more than 1.5 million tons. This means that it is only stored in the oil depot on Hawaii Island.  The crude oil is enough for the empire to need for three years, and the oil fields in Borneo seem to be less urgent."

    "Tojo-kun, I disagree with your words." Mitsumasa Yoneuchi immediately retorted, "Right now, the empire's annual oil consumption is only more than 1.5 million tons. It's not that the empire can't consume it, but because the empire doesn't produce oil, it saves money.  The result is that if the empire¡¯s crude oil supply is sufficient, the annual consumption will definitely exceed 5 million or even tens of millions of tons!¡±

    Tojo Hideki was not unhappy because of Mitsumasa Yoneuchi's rebuttal. He chuckled and said, "Yonei-kun, I just said this. For the empire, of course, the more crude oil, the better. Even with this oil depot,  The oil fields in Borneo still need to be captured as soon as possible.¡±

    The White House, small conference room.

    Stark finally said: "Your Excellency, the Pacific Fleet no longer exists, and it is time to start considering coastal defense deployment on the West Coast."

    Roosevelt frowned and asked: "Is there really no possibility of counterattack?"

    "It's really impossible." Stark shook his head and said, "The Hawaiian Islands are two thousand nautical miles away from the west coast. The distance is too far. It would take too much to transport soldiers and supplies over such a long distance.  It takes too long, and it is easy to be attacked by Japanese troops during the journey. The risk is too high!"

    Hull said puzzledly: "Although the main island of Hawaii has been lost, several outlying islands including Oahu are still under the control of the US Navy"

    "It's useless." Before Hull could finish speaking, Stark shook his head and said, "A few outlying islands alone won't last long. If nothing happens, the defenders on several outlying islands will announce their surrender tomorrow morning.  Well, as well as the garrisons on Guam and Midway, I¡¯m afraid they won¡¯t be able to hold on for too long, and surrender will be a matter of time.¡±

    "What about Australia?" Roosevelt said solemnly, "We have already discussed this matter when we talked to Churchill just now. Churchill agreed to borrow the British military base in Australia. If Australia is directly used as an advance base, it will be better to fight the Japanese army in the Southeast Asian battlefield.  How long will it take to win the decisive battle?"

    "This" Stark was speechless.

    At this time, Marshall on the side said in a deep voice: "It depends on how big the decision of the President is?"

    "Determination?" Roosevelt frowned and said, "My determination is America's determination, there is no need to doubt it!"

    Marshall nodded and added: "If the President is determined to fight a decisive battle with Japan at all costs, if the Atlantic Fleet is transferred to the Pacific, and all army forces are committed to the Southeast Asian battlefield, then there is no suspense about defeating Japan. Although Japan gained victory through the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor,  It was a great military victory, but it was only a tactical victory, and it was still not enough to reverse the huge gap between the United States and Japan, but"

    Roosevelt said in a deep voice: "Just what?"

    Marshall continued: "It's just that this way, we won't be able to take care of the European battlefield for the time being."

    "This is absolutely not possible." Roosevelt said categorically, "America's core interests have always been in Europe, not Asia. It would be extremely stupid to abandon Europe for Asia!"

    Marshall shook his head and said: "If this is the case, the option of using Australia as a base to fight Japan is not feasible, because Australia is further away from the mainland of the United States than Hawaii.Far away, transportation is more difficult, and it is more likely to be attacked by the Japanese army. If you don't go all out, you will definitely fail!  "

    Roosevelt said depressedly: "Doesn't this mean that we have nothing to do against the Japanese?"

    "No, there is still a way." Marshall said, "And if it is done well, you can bring down Japan or even defeat Japan without even having to kill a single American!"

    "Oh? Is there such a thing?" Roosevelt said, "You mean, arming China?"

    "Yes, arm the Chinese army!" Marshall nodded, then turned to an army major general standing behind him and said, "Stilwell, it's up to you to introduce it to the President."

    "Yes." Stilwell nodded and said, "Your Excellency, the Japanese are in the limelight right now, and the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet has been completely destroyed and has lost its home port of Hawaii. If we forcefully fight the Japanese at this time  , the price is too high, and it¡¯s really not worth the gain.¡±

    ¡°Cross-sea combat is too difficult!¡±

    "Even if we use Australia as our base of advance, it will be very difficult!"

    "What's more, Australia may not be safe. If I guessed correctly, the Japanese army will definitely send troops to Australia next. With the combat effectiveness of the British and Australian troops, there is no doubt that Australia will fall."

    "So, with the fall of Hawaii and the complete destruction of the Pacific Fleet, the possibility of the U.S. military directly fighting the Japanese in the Pacific battlefield has been completely lost."

    "At this time, our only choice is to rely on our Chinese allies!"

    "And thankfully, our Chinese allies have been fighting the Japanese alone on the East Asian battlefield for nine years. They have a tenacious army and a group of excellent commanders, and more importantly, they have strong ties with Japan.  People have hatred as high as mountains and as deep as seas! This is a trustworthy ally!"

    Roosevelt said: "So you mean to fully assist China?"

    "Yes, assist China as much as possible." Stilwell said, "And require China to send troops to Burma as soon as possible to delay the Japanese army's pace of unifying the entire Southeast Asia. The short-term goal is to help the national army form a stalemate with the Japanese army in Burma. The medium-term goal is to support  The national army launched a counterattack from the battlefield in Southeast Asia!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
