    Japan¡¯s total population exceeds 70 million, of which approximately 17 million are of military age.

    Theoretically, the Japanese army can mobilize at least 17 million troops, but this is only a theoretical number. In fact, the number that can be mobilized will never exceed 7 million.

    The maximum mobilization limit is almost one-tenth of the total population. This number is basically constant. For example, after Germany occupied most of Europe, the total population expanded to 200 million. The total number of troops that can be mobilized is from the very beginning.  The eight million drama increased to as many as 20 million.

    Therefore, the maximum number of troops that Japan can mobilize is only 7 million.

    Because not all men of military age are suitable to be soldiers.

    There is a gap between individuals. Those who are thin or have physical defects cannot serve as soldiers.

    ¡°Also, those engaged in scientific research and those workers with high technology cannot be recruited as soldiers, otherwise the improvement and production of weapons and equipment will stagnate.

    So far, Japan has transported more than 4.5 million passengers.

    Among them, the Kwantung Army has 1 million troops, China has sent 1.5 million troops, the Southern Army has 1.5 million, and Burma has sent 500,000 troops.

    From a quantitative point of view, Japan can mobilize at least another 2.5 million troops, but in fact this is not the case. In fact, let alone 2.5 million troops, even mobilizing another 500,000 troops is already very difficult.

    Speaking of this, we have to mention Japan¡¯s industrial production model.

    Japan¡¯s industrial production model is very different from that of industrial powers such as the United States, Germany, and the Soviet Union.

    Countries such as the United States, Germany, and the Soviet Union are all old industrial powers. They have been deeply involved in industrial development for hundreds of years. They have a solid industrial foundation and are engaged in large-scale industrial production.

    The characteristics of large-scale industrial production are high intensification, high production efficiency, and correspondingly low manpower requirements.

    ¡°However, due to its late start and weak foundation, Japan is still in the primary stage of industrial development and engages in extensive workshop-style industrial production.

    This production method not only has low productivity, but also requires more labor.

    Therefore, for the same industrial output value, Japan needs an industrial population that is far greater than that of Western industrial countries.

    This will inevitably lead to a result. Japan needs a large number of strong laborers to maintain basic industrial production. Once too many strong laborers are extracted from industrial production, it will inevitably affect industrial output.

    The situation now facing the Japanese government is that if another 500,000 strong men are mobilized, Japan's industrial production scale will drop by at least 15%!

    Don¡¯t underestimate this 15%.

    During the period when the United States is experiencing a crazy explosion in production capacity, if Japan¡¯s industrial output does not increase but decreases, the problem will be serious.

    At that time, if the US military loses one aircraft on the battlefield, it can replenish two or even three aircraft, but the Japanese army has to lose two or even three aircraft to replenish one. Then as time goes by, the gap in strength between the two sides will become wider and wider.  As it gets bigger, the outcome of this world war will no longer be in suspense.

    As for the mobilization of another 2.5 million strong men, let alone Hirohito, even the craziest Hideki Tojo never thought that such a result would only occur under one circumstance.

    This situation is a local decisive battle!

    Unless there is a decisive battle on the mainland, it is impossible for the Japanese government to use up all its 7 million mobilization reserves, because this will seriously damage the foundation of industrial production.

    Hirohito said: "Tojo-kun, you should know the situation of the empire better than I do. If we mobilize 30 more divisions, even if they are only organized into a three-unit security division, we will need at least 500,000 people. This will inevitably become serious.  If it affects industrial production, the empire's war potential will be severely reduced, which is by no means a long-term solution."

    Tojo Hideki took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Then I would like to ask Your Majesty, if more troops are not mobilized to go to the battlefield in Southeast Asia, what should the empire do?"

    Hirohito replied without thinking: "Of course we will stick to Thailand, Malaya and Indochina."

    After talking about this for a moment, he added: "When necessary, we can even give up Thailand, Malaya and even Indochina. As long as the empire can hold on to territories such as Luzon, Java and Australia, it will be enough to provide the mainland and Manchuria with what they need."  resources, so there is really no need to continue fighting with the butcher Zhong Yi in Myanmar!"

    "Butcher" is the nickname given to Zhong Yi by Hirohito just after the mortal enemy of the empire.

    The reason is that Zhong Yi had just brutally massacred nearly 300,000 imperial soldiers in the Central Cluster of the Japanese Burmese Condemnation Army.

    Although this was a long-lived charge initiated by the Japanese army, Hirohito and the Japanese government still used this bloodThe debt was placed on Zhong Yi's head, but then again, Zhong Yi didn't care at all.

    Tojo Hideki shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this reminds me of a famous saying in Chinese history books."

    After a pause, Tojo Hideki continued: "Today we will cut three cities, and tomorrow we will cut five cities. We will look at the four borders, and the Qin soldiers have arrived again! Just hope that Zhong Yi will see good things, and he will stop attacking after consolidating Burma."  It¡¯s unrealistic! It¡¯s stupid, even a crime, a crime against the empire and even the entire Kazuo race!¡±

    "Zhong Yi has never been a kind-hearted person."

    "As long as Zhong Yi shows the slightest hint of retreat, Zhong Yi will pounce on him like a mad dog. Unless he completely takes away the entire Southeast Asia and takes out all the benefits that the empire has finally gained, he will never  He will give up! Even if he reaps all the benefits, he will probably still not give up, and will have to go to Longwangshu to counterattack the empire!"

    "However, this is not what worries me the most. What worries me most is that Zhong Yi has already built a complete industrial zone in northern Myanmar with the support of the United States. Once the industrial zone in northern Myanmar is fully completed and put into operation,  If the production capacity is fully unleashed, Zhong Yi¡¯s tanks will only become more and more powerful!¡±

    Taking a deep breath, Tojo Hideki said: "So, now the empire has no way out. It can only occupy Burma at all costs, kill the industrial zone under construction in northern Burma in its initial stage, and even seize it for its own use."  Zhong Yi¡¯s chariot can be nipped in the bud.¡±

    "Otherwise, once Zhong Yi's chariot is truly formed, he will really become a thorn in the side of the empire! Your Majesty, I hope you will think twice!"

    Hirohito¡¯s brows suddenly tightened again.

    After a long while, Hirohito asked tentatively: "What if we only form 20 divisions?"

    "That's useless." Tojo Hideki shook his head and said, "Form 20 divisions, then 20 more divisions, and put them into Burma one by one. This becomes a tactic of adding fuel to the fire. This is a taboo for military strategists! Your Majesty, either  Increase troops, if you decide to increase troops, you must increase troops at once to ensure that Zhong Yi¡¯s armed group is crushed!¡±

    Hirohito said: "Tojo-kun, please let me think about it again."

    "Hai." Tojo paused slightly and then said, "Your Majesty, of course you can consider it, but you must make a decision as soon as possible, because the situation in Myanmar cannot be delayed any longer." (Remember the website address: www.  hlnovel.com
