    The Devil's Palace

    "Men, don't tremble, I have a song for you to listen to:

    Killing one person is considered a sin, killing ten thousand people is considered a hero.  If you slaughter nine million, you will be called the hero among the heroes.  "

    Hirohito held a piece of paper in his hand and muttered slowly.

    After he finished reading, he put down the paper in his hand with a sigh and looked into the distance. Behind him were Doihara, the boss of the Mei Organization, Prince Kaninnomiya, Chief of Army General Staff, and Prince Fushiminomiya, Minister of Naval Command.

    "Is this really what Zhou Weiguo did?"

    Hirohito asked softly after a long time.

    "That's right! This is what Zhou Weiguo said in yesterday's speech!"

    Doihara bowed.

    "What a strong murderous intention! He is indeed the most outstanding leader in the past century!"

    A sigh came from Hirohito's mouth.

    "Your Majesty! The problem now is that they have encountered a problem. At present, they only have one battleship and three aircraft carriers. However, the combined naval fleets of Geely and Gaul have five battleships and two aircraft carriers. This kind of power is not what it is now.  They can compete. Will we send troops to support this operation?"

    Prince Xianyuan Palace stood up and talked about the current problem.

    "Hmph! Why should we aid them? Wouldn't it be better to let the navy be destroyed?"

    Prince Fushimigu next to him snorted coldly.

    Before, two battleships of the United Fleet were sunk and two aircraft carriers were captured. This has always been a shame in the heart of Prince Fushimimiya, and he was unwilling to assist.  In fact, Prince Xianyuan Palace was not willing, but he had to help.

    "Your Excellency Prince Fushimi, if their only navy is destroyed and their important coastal cities suffer major damage, then they will no longer engage in steel and coal trade with the empire for a long time to come.  trade.

    I heard that the Navy¡¯s reconstructed aircraft carriers Kaga and Akagi will be able to complete basic construction in another eight months.  If there is a lack of steel and coal, will you be able to complete the construction?  "

    Prince Xianyuan Palace said in a deep voice, the current steel transaction is once every three days, and the quantity of each transaction is 60,000 tons of steel, which means that on average, 20,000 tons of steel are traded every day.

    600,000 tons of steel are traded in a month, which is 7.2 million tons of steel in a year.

    Now this is their main source of steel. Once the steel trade that has just begun is cut off, their navy and army construction will not only be slowed down, but their recovery will even be terminated to a certain extent.

    So this is why Prince Hanyuan Palace made such a request.

    Sure enough, when Prince Kanin Palace revealed this reason, Prince Fushimi Palace became silent.

    If the steel trade with them is cut off, his navy will not even think about regaining its strength, or even strengthening it!

    ??????????????????????????????? Prince Fushimimiya agreed with Prince Kaninnomiya¡¯s words, but he was also a person who wanted to save face, so he didn¡¯t say anything further.

    Hirohito couldn¡¯t help but nodded after hearing what Prince Hanyuan Palace said: ¡°What the emperor said makes sense, no matter how much hatred we had in the past. But now we are just grasshoppers on a rope. Westerners have always discriminated against us Easterners.

    ????????? Whether it¡¯s Geely Gaul or Mi Jian, they are very wary of them.  They treated us unanimously on many things.

    Now that we are allies again, if we don¡¯t take action, I¡¯m afraid it will make them feel grudged and the steel trade may be reduced!  "

    In fact, there is one thing Hirohito did not say, that is, the reason why they formed an alliance with them was to start a war with Western countries.

    They have a navy, but they have insufficient war potential and no resources. They are now in a complementary relationship.  If we don't take action, I'm afraid this alliance will become an empty talk.

    "Then I wonder how His Majesty will interfere with them and their affairs? He said before that his relationship with us must be kept absolutely confidential. Otherwise, it will cause a backlash from Western countries in advance!"

    This time Prince Fushimiya spoke.

    Hirohito was silent after hearing this, and after a while he said: "Please come, Mr. Ishihara! He sees these issues more thoroughly than we do!"

    "Ha~yi~"

    Prince Xianyuan Palace turned around and left. About half an hour later, Prince Xianyuan Palace brought Shi Yuan to the palace.

    At this time, Hirohito and the others no longer stood outside, but knelt and drank tea inside the house, and Doihara also left.

    It¡¯s the coldest time of the year now, and there¡¯s heavy snow outside. Of course, it can¡¯t be there all the time.There was standing outside.

    "Ishihara-kun! Sit down!"

    Hirohito saw Ishihara walking in and greeted him.

    "Ishihara-kun, I believe you have heard about the matter between them and Geeli Gaul, but I just don't know what you think about this matter?"

    Hirohito asked directly after Ishihara sat down.

    It seemed that Shi Yuan had expected that Hirohito would ask him these questions, so he calmly said: "What your Majesty wants to ask is how to intervene in this matter!"

    Hirohito was stunned by Ishizono's confident words. He then looked at Prince Kaninnomiya and Prince Fushiminomiya and said with a smile: "The empire is lucky to have Ishihara-kun. Yes, it is Ishihara-kun who has already guessed our decision.  Got it!"

    "Your Majesty is ridiculous! In fact, this is not difficult to guess, because the empire needs their steel and coal!"

    Shi Yuan smiled slightly and told the basis of his guess.

    ? Then he continued: "It is actually very simple for the empire to intervene in this matter, it only needs a reasonable reason!"

    "I would like to hear the details!"

    Hirohito said softly.

    "The empire issued a declaration called "New Order in Greater East Asia" in November 1938, in which it declared that we would establish a chain of mutual assistance with them in all aspects. It also declared that Asia is Asia for Asians.

    So we can use this as a reason to seek negotiations with Geely Gaul and other countries, but our attitude should not be tough, nor should we directly negotiate relevant issues.  We need to start from this declaration and make requirements for the time they stay in Asia!  "

    Shi Yuan¡¯s words made several people present frown. They didn¡¯t quite understand what Shi Yuan meant.

    "Ishihara-kun, even if the time is limited through such negotiation, the strength of the naval fleet they sent will still not be reduced. This does not seem to put much pressure on them?"

    Prince Xianyuan Palace frowned and asked the doubts in his heart.

    "Haha! In fact, the reason is very simple. The navy is not an airplane. The navy is much slower than an airplane. As long as we limit the time, that is to say, they will not stay in the territorial waters of Asia for too long after entering the territorial waters of Asia.  This also prevented them from replenishing materials in Xiangjiang, and they needed to go directly north to Shanghai.

    In this way, their logistics will be slightly insufficient. Originally, their operation was a temporary decision and they were not fully prepared. They did not stop at Xiangjiang and other places for supplies, which made them eager to find their navy for a decisive battle.

    As long as their navy can hold them back for some time, the Imperial Combined Fleet will also use the results of the negotiation as an excuse to monitor from the sidelines.  They will be under pressure, and finally when the time comes, they will have to withdraw under pressure from the Imperial Navy!

    In this way, the relationship between the empire and the empire will not be exposed, but it will also help invisibly!  In this way, they will not suffer huge losses, nor will they cut off the steel trade with the empire!  ¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
