Shinozuka Kazuo is not a clairvoyant and does not know the future war situation.
But he still knows the operating conditions of the base camp.
He thought about it seriously and felt that it would really work if he followed Wei Wu's method.
Besides, now that things have happened, he has no good solution.
If you don't take these evil paths, you can only take the road of hell.
In order to save his head, Shinozuka Kazuo also fought hard.
"I understand, I'll send the report right away."
Shinozuka Kazuo thought for a while, then ticked down the battle damage data by one digit before reporting it.
Anyway, if you are discovered, you will die, so you might as well make the data more beautiful.
Maybe there's still a chance.
Seeing the battle report sent by Shinozuka Kazuo, Sugiyama couldn't help but nod.
Except for the 23rd Division, which was surrounded by sneak attacks and wiped out, the Japanese casualty ratio was really low on the frontal battlefield. They encircled and suppressed the guerrilla zone and captured 20,000 square kilometers of land.
Only less than four figures of soldiers were "killed on the spot", but hundreds of thousands of the main force of the Communist army were annihilated.
The battle loss ratio reached an astonishing 1:100.
This is a rare miracle on the modern battlefield.
To Shinozuka Kazuo, this battle report was just an exaggerated description of a battle.
But Sugiyama Gen, who is at the base camp, has a different view.
The Japanese army has been fighting on the mainland for 10 years.
Total War has been around for 4 years.
The Japanese army no longer has the indomitable momentum it once had.
All fronts are in a stalemate.
Elite soldiers were consumed in large numbers.
With the increase of second-rate soldiers.
The casualty ratio is getting uglier.
There were even counterattacks in some areas.
Although the media is promoting the victory every day.
But Sugiyama Gen, who is at the top, knows.
At this time, the Japanese army was actually in a very dangerous state.
The morale of the soldiers on the front lines was very low.
The combat skills and combat will of many second-line soldiers cannot be compared with those of the first batch of elite soldiers.
Coupled with the fact that the United States has begun to implement a steel and oil embargo, the country's production has been greatly affected.
Oil is the blood of industry.
Japan, which had not found any oil fields on the mainland, had to go south to seize the oil fields in Java.
However, there are colonies of British and American ghosts over there.
Going south would mean going to war with Britain and America.
In order to go south and seize the vast colony.
It is bound to draw elites from the mainland.
At this time, the war situation on the mainland was not optimistic.
If you draw more elites, it may affect the balance.
It even led to the contraction or even collapse of the mainland front.
So think about the big picture.
The base camp urgently needs an offensive from the mainland.
Better to get a big win.
It would be best to force Chongqing to surrender and end the war on the mainland.
So that we can fully respond to the move south.
At the worst, it will force Chongqing to feel pressure and not dare to act rashly.
Allowing them to calmly mobilize their troops and turn south.
This is one of the reasons why the base camp has been planning a new battle in Changsha.
Now, Shinozuka Kazuo's battle report is a timely help.
Although it is not a victory on the frontal battlefield.
But clearing out the guerrilla zones and expanding the territory to 20,000 square kilometers are real military achievements.
The most important thing is that although Sugiyama Gen is an army general, he is a solid southward faction.
In history, it was he who promised the emperor to occupy Southeast Asia in 150 days and seize Indonesian oil.
In order to support his plan to go south.
We need to mobilize soldiers from the mainland.
In order to draw soldiers from the mainland, there must be a decisive victory on the mainland.
Therefore, even if Sugiyama Gen's own interests are considered, even if Shinozuka Kazuo's victory is watery, it must be real.
Even if it is false it must become true.
Therefore, in order to appease Shinozuka Kazuo, the Black Dragon Society became insignificant.
In Sugiyama Yuan's view, the Army's intelligence network on the mainland was not smooth in the early years, which was why it needed the assistance of the Black Dragon Society, a non-governmental organization.
Now there are a series of organizations such as Special High-Tech, Army Intelligence, and Mei Agency.
The value of the Black Dragon Society has dropped.
In fact, the existence of the Black Dragon Society has hindered the interests of many people.
For example, Doi Yuan from Tekko, Yingzuo Zhenzhao from Mei Agency, etc.
By getting rid of the Black Dragon Society, you can also gain the favor of these people and the Xinheng family.
It can be said that it accomplishes multiple things with one stone.
After weighing the pros and cons, Sugiyama Gen decided to sacrifice the Black Dragon Society for the benefit of the empire.
Sugiyama Gen returned to the table, looked at the battle report given to him by Shinozuka Kazuo, and pondered for a while.
He felt that this battle report was still not exciting enough.
Then some modifications were made.
Directly reducing the number of casualties by a single digit again.
The casualty ratio was expanded to 1:1000.
This is no longer a miracle in the history of war, but a miracle.
Wei Wu has only achieved this kind of performance in games with the blood lock unlocked.
After making some small modifications to the battle report, Sugiyama Gen was still not satisfied and added a zero after the occupied territory.
It became a newly occupied land of 200,000 square kilometers.
Approximately equivalent to 60% of Japan's land area.
After Sugiyama Yuan revised it, he read it twice, and then he copied the battle report with satisfaction and hurried to the palace with the battle report.
At this time, Yuren was looking at the map and had a headache.
According to the news returned by Japanese spies in the United States, another congressman proposed an oil embargo on Japan.
Although, there has been precedent before, and it failed.
But as the number of proposals increases, the probability of passing them will become greater and greater.
The dangers are also increasing.
At this time, 80% of Japan's oil came from the United States.
If the United States imposes an oil embargo on Japan, it will have a fatal blow to Japan's industry.
The factory cannot operate.
Those huge ships will also be unable to use due to lack of fuel.
The whole country would be trapped.
Therefore, a reliable source of oil must be found before it is embargoed.
Judging from the map, Southeast Asia is a better direction.
However, Southeast Asia has long been a colony of the United States, Britain and other European and American monsters.
If he sends troops to seize it, he will definitely be sanctioned by the other party, or even directly declare war.
However, his main force is stuck on the mainland battlefield.
The remaining troops faced the American army and he felt a little weak.
This gave him a headache.
At this moment, Sugiyama Yuan walked in excitedly.
Sugiyama Yuan said excitedly: "Your Majesty, great victory, great victory, good news for the southeastern theater."
Sugiyama Yuan said, placing the battle report in front of Yuren.
Yuren picked it up and looked at it, his face darkened, then brightened.
The Japanese army, which had been dull for more than two years, actually made a big move.
In one fell swoop, they captured 200,000 square kilometers of land.
He only lost a few hundred people, which was a great victory.
Even if it's not on the frontal battlefield, it's enough to dominate.
The only regret is that the 23rd Division was ambushed and the entire army was wiped out.
"What happened to the 23rd Division? How could the entire army be wiped out?"
Yuren asked angrily.
This was the first time since the war began that a division-level organization had been annihilated.
He must ask.
"His Majesty the Emperor, according to reliable information, it was the Black Dragon Society who colluded with the Communist Army and leaked information about the 23rd Division, causing the entire 23rd Division to be shattered."
Sugiyama Yuan said quickly.
"Is there any evidence?" Yuren asked quickly.
"Bring it up!"
Sugiyama Gen waved his hand.
Immediately dozens of soldiers came in.
Each soldier came in carrying a wooden box.
"What's this?"
Yuren looked at the wooden boxes in shock.
"Your Majesty, these are materials exposing the Black Dragon Society's treason."
Sugiyama Gen explained.
"all these are?"
Yuren's eyes widened.
Looking at those wooden boxes in disbelief.
How much does this have to be?
He has never read so many books in his life.
"Your Majesty, actually, these are just catalogs. The real text is outside. I will ask them to send it in for you."
