After Tojo consciously committed seppuku, everything was over.
He had already committed seppuku, what more could be done to him?
After his death, the news of the defeat in the entire continental theater and the news of his committing suicide out of fear of crime were sent to Yuren.
"idiot!"
After hearing the news, Yuren turned into a table-cleaning master and swept everything on the table to the ground.
Originally, he thought that he would be able to realize the ambition of Tanaka's memorial soon.
As long as the United States wins the Battle of Midway and loses the power to fight and actively seeks peace, it can use the resources of Southeast Asia to continue to develop itself.
Then, relying on the stolen resources, they continued to attack India, captured Persia, and finally joined forces with Germany in Baghdad to complete their strategic goals.
At that time, we can share the world equally with Germany and become the world hegemon.
As a result, just when he was having a sweet dream, Tojo's news hit him in the head like a sap.
In just a few months, 2.7 million Japanese troops were lost.
This already accounts for two-thirds of the total strength of the Japanese army.
And they are all elite.
This is no longer a stretch.
This is straight up a hemi-amputation.
And it was cut vertically.
Although Yuren lived in the palace for a long time, he also attended military school.
Know some military common sense.
Being able to wipe out several million Japanese troops at once means that the mainland has an army that is far more powerful than Japan.
With the current situation of the Japanese Army, it is sheer fantasy to counterattack.
When the troops were at their peak, and they suffered such a disastrous defeat, could they succeed in counterattacking with only the remaining troops?
The worst thing is that the mainland and Southeast Asia are connected by land.
If the mainland is not satisfied with the results of the local victory, it will directly go south...
Yu Ren didn't even dare to think about the consequences.
I'm afraid that the newly conquered colony will be handed over to others.
When he thought that the originally good situation had been ruined by Tojo, Yuren gritted his teeth in hatred.
"Does this damn guy think he can escape guilt by committing seppuku? Send an order to execute all his family members on the spot, and send all his relatives, friends, teachers, and disciples to Iwo Jima!"
Yuren roared angrily.
"yes!"
The attendant immediately conveyed the order.
Groups of military police drove out from the barracks and headed to every corner of Tokyo.
All Tojo's family members were taken to the shooting range and shot on the spot.
His relatives and friends who were close to him were all deprived of all positions and exiled to Iwo Jima.
Although the teachers who taught Tojo were all dead, they did not escape the disaster. They were all dug out of their graves and their bones were smashed into ashes.
After dealing with Tojo, Yuren began to have a headache about who to choose as the new prime minister.
Now that the army can't be counted on, Yuren plans to choose a navy man as prime minister.
Who to choose?
Yuren fell into thinking.
"Yamamoto Isoroku? His qualifications are enough, but the combined fleet still needs him to command."
"Why don't you choose Nanyun Zhongyi? This guy has enough qualifications, is stable, and has sufficient frontline experience. He is a qualified candidate for prime minister."
However, the combined fleet is currently executing the MY combat plan and is in the waters of Midway Island.
Yuren made the decision to promote Nagumo Chuichi to prime minister after the combined fleet returned from victory.
Give these incompetent armies a good beating.
Then, the combined fleet was ordered to cooperate with the army to counterattack the mainland from the direction of Southeast Asia.
At the very least, a buffer zone must be built to prevent the Communist army from going south and seizing its colonies in Southeast Asia.
Now, he is counting on Southeast Asia to give him blood transfusions.
If Southeast Asia is lost again, there will be no need for Allied troops to land, and the island itself will collapse.
"As long as the Combined Fleet attacks, everything will be fine."
Yuren comforted himself like this.
At this moment, an attendant hurried in.
"His Majesty the Emperor, combined fleet battle report."
"Is it really true that we captured Midway and achieved a great victory?"
The emperor asked with hope.
“At the Battle of Midway, our troops worked together as one, and with the blessing of the Emperor, they fought bravely and severely damaged the US Pacific Fleet, sinking the aircraft carrier Yorktown, sinking the destroyer USS Hamann, damaging more than ten ships, and shooting down thousands of enemy planes. We have more than 30,000 enemies killed and more than 300 buildings destroyed. Our troops suffered minor losses. After completing the set objectives, we have successfully moved in and will return to our home port in the near future."
"Complete the set goal and transfer to victory?"
Yuren's eyebrows stood up.
"Isn't the MY combat plan to sink the US Pacific Fleet and capture Midway Island? Why was it transferred?"
"Where are they now? What is the real situation?"
Yuren instinctively felt that something was wrong.
The operational goal of Midway Island is to capture Midway Island, then threaten Hawaii, induce a decisive battle with the U.S. Pacific Fleet, and control the Pacific Ocean in one fell swoop.
If the combat goal is really achieved, how can it be transferred?
Something must have gone wrong!
"Really, the real situation is..."
The attendant hesitated for a moment and then said: "The combined fleet was hit. The four aircraft carriers Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, and Hiryu were sunk. The Mikuma heavy cruiser was sunk. Rear Admiral Yamaguchi Tawen sank with the ship."
"puff--"
Yuren almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
He had just thought about waiting for the combined fleet to return, assisting the army to counterattack the mainland, and using the advantages of the navy and air force to create a buffer zone.
As a result, the navy suffered heavy losses before the order was issued.
There are only eight serious aircraft carriers completed in front of Japan Station.
As a result, Midway lost half of its forces in one fell swoop.
There are currently only four serious aircraft carriers left: Fengxiang, Longxiang, Xianghe, and Zuihe.
In addition to these official aircraft carriers, Japan also has some cruise ship-renovated aircraft carriers. Chitose, Shoho, Zuiho, Ryūho, Otaka, Cloud Eagle, and Condor all belong to this list.
However, these modified aircraft carriers can only be used as escort aircraft carriers at most. One ship can only carry thirty or forty aircraft, which is less than half of that of a serious heavy aircraft carrier.
His combat effectiveness is worrisome and he can only do some auxiliary attack work.
It is a pure dream to let them play the main attack.
Of course, Japan still has some rebuilt aircraft carriers.
For example, the Shinano will become the largest aircraft carrier in terms of tonnage as long as it can be successfully completed.
But the problem is that due to lack of funds and resources, the construction period of the Shinano will extend to about 44 years, which will take another two years.
Far water cannot quench near thirst.
The air strike capability of the entire combined fleet has essentially been reduced by nearly half.
lost heavily.
"This bunch of trash!"
Yuren pressed his hands on the table, trying to overturn it.
But after trying twice, the table didn't move at all.
The furious Yuren punched the table.
"Whoever commanded the battle, I want him to be brought to court-martial!"
Yuren shouted loudly.
"It seems to be General Nagumo."
the attendant whispered.
"Nagumo?"
Yuren's head buzzed.
"Who did I just ask to be prime minister?"
"ah--"
Yuren's painful wails echoed through the imperial palace.
