"George, the Japanese sent troops to occupy Annan last month and cut off the Yunnan-Vietnam Highway. Thomas's main channel for transporting supplies to Chuxiong was cut off;
Indochina is the back garden of the civilized world. The Japanese invaded Annan despite the warnings of the civilized world, which shows that they no longer care about the civilized world. This is a naked challenge to the civilized world!
I have reached a consensus with Fatty Qiu that starting from this month, we will officially stop selling oil, steel and other strategic materials to the East Japan.
Dogs will jump over the wall when they are anxious. The embargo of oil and other strategic materials to the east will definitely stimulate them greatly. In order to prevent them from drawing the Goshawk Kingdom into the war too early, support for China must be increased;
Although the Eighth Route Army had just won the Hundred Battalion Battle, they consumed a lot of supplies. Chu Xiong's troops no longer had artillery shells, otherwise the thousands of men from the 35th Division and the 36th Division would not have stood out.
Now the only thing that can transport supplies to China is the Burma Highway, but the transport capacity of the Burma Highway is far less than that of the Yunnan-Vietnam Highway, and it may be cut off by the Japanese at any time;
Go and tell Thomas to transport supplies to Chuxiong at all costs before the Japanese cut off the Burma Highway, and give him as much as he wants;
The transportation capacity of the Burma Highway is given priority to meet the needs of Chuxiong. All expenses are paid by Chuxiong. As a kid like us, we make a lot of money on Wall Street. "
After Franklin finished speaking, he and George couldn't help laughing. For the Goshawk Country, problems that can be solved with money are not problems. Now being able to cause trouble for the Japanese is their greatest happiness.
In the devil's base camp, the devil is roaring, hell is empty, and the demons are having a meeting
"Bagayalu, Xiao Zhuoyi'an is ashamed of his trust in me and his tens of thousands of warriors. He has disgraced me and the empire, but he still has the nerve to ask me to add more troops to him!
Five additional divisions were given to him just a few months ago, but they were all lost in half a year. The public security in Hedong has deteriorated beyond control. The Eighth Route Army is suppressing more and more troops, which has swelled to more than 100 battalions and a hundred thousand troops;
This bastard Xiaozhuo is mainly responsible. It's time to change the general. Tojo-kun, who do you think is the most suitable to succeed him? "
Private Tojo felt bitter in his heart. The corruption of public security in Kadong was not a crime of war——
"It's not that the Imperial Army is incompetent, it's that the Eighth Route Army is too cunning! Anyone else might not be able to do a better job than Xiao Zhuoyi'nan. No one knows the Eighth Route Army better than Xiao Zhuojun, and no one is willing to replace Xiao Zhuoyi'nan. Clean up the mess.”
Of course, Tojo didn't dare to say these words, he could only think about them, but Yoshio Shino had to save his life, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said:
"Your Majesty, the reason why the Hedong Eighth Route Army has become stronger is because the Goshawk Kingdom has been secretly transporting supplies to them. They gave the most advanced Bazooka and Hellfire support to the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army called them Hua Mulan and Wei Shen. .
The Imperial Army has successfully imitated the Mulan Cannon, named it the Sakura Cannon, and began to partially equip it with the Kwantung Army;
A squad of the Imperial Army carried two cherry blossom cannons and went deep into Black Bear's territory. They encountered one of their tanks. The Sakura Cannon easily destroyed Black Bear's heavy tank. "
As soon as Yuren heard this, his eyes instantly glowed. In the battle of Nuomen a year ago, the imperial army suffered a lot from the tanks of the Black Bear Kingdom. Now that they have tank nemesis like Sakura Cannon, they will be even more powerful against the Black Bear and Goshawk in the future. .
"Tojo-kun, since we have the cherry blossom cannon, the black bear is not a worry. The strategy of heading north——"
When the first-class soldier Tojo saw that Yuren was starting to talk nonsense again, he quickly tried to dissuade him:
"Your Majesty, the most important thing is to avoid changing your strategy overnight. The strategy to go south has been decided. The Imperial Navy is already preparing its troops. The foundation of the Empire is in the ocean. The ice-covered wasteland of Black Bear is nothing compared to the rich and oily Blue Ocean Continent."
As soon as Private Tojo finished speaking, several other big men also agreed. They were all firm supporters of the Southward Faction.
Admiral Fuotaro Shimada, Minister of the Navy, prostrated himself on the ground and said:
"Your Majesty, what Tojo-kun said is absolutely true. In the Battle of Indochina last month, the Fifth Division only sent one brigade and swept across Annan. The rat soldiers of the Vichy government collapsed at the first touch. The imperial army captured Annan even more than the armed march. easy.
Going south and establishing a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere is the best strategy that serves the interests of the empire.
The Eurasian continent is too big. A small China can contain the empire's million-strong army. The Black Bear Kingdom's continental area is larger than that of China. Without an army of three million, it can't do anything. Your Majesty, please think twice! "
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Private Tojo and others also followed him and bowed down. When Yuren saw that several big bosses were opposed, he stopped insisting and even revealed the matter of Yoshio Xiaozhuo.
As Mr. Tojo said, the public security in Hedong has been eroded. Rather than sending a general who does not understand the Eighth Route Army to clean up the mess, it is better to continue to support Yoshio Xiao.
He knew far more about the Eighth Route Army than anyone else. To untie the bell, the person who tied it had to be tied. The matters in Hedong still had to be left to Xiao Zhuoyi'nan. He had to clean up the mess he had made. Thinking of this, he began to have an idea in his mind. Private Tojo said:
"Tojo-kun, how are the peace talks with China going?"
"Your Majesty, since the Eighth Route Army's Hundred Camps War, the attitude in Shu has become tougher again, demanding that the imperial army must withdraw from North China and return to the state before the Ho-Mei Agreement."
When Yuren heard this, he was furious and said:
"Baga Ya Lu, he is so ignorant of praise. Since he cannot be allowed to recognize the reality at the negotiation table, let's use the guns and artillery of the imperial army to speak."
Private Tojo also had this intention, so he suggested that we should take action in the east of the river.
"Your Majesty, the situation in Hedong is corrupt. On the one hand, it is because of the growth of the Eighth Route Army's own strength, and on the other hand, because of the existence of Zhongtiao Mountain, the imperial army cannot cut off the secret channel for transporting supplies from the Goshawk Kingdom to Chu Xiong's headquarters.
There are hundreds of thousands of Central Chinese Army troops fighting guerrillas in Zhongtiao Mountain, which echoes the Taihang Mountains occupied by the Eighth Route Army and serves as a barrier to each other.
Zhongtiao Mountain has been riddled with holes by the imperial army. The generals have no determination and the soldiers have no fighting spirit. Although they claim to have an army of hundreds of thousands, they have been unable to receive supplies for a long time, and many troops cannot even eat;
Since it is necessary to teach Shuzhong a lesson and kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, then the hundreds of thousands of Central Army troops in Zhongtiao Mountain are the most suitable chicken.
Killing this chicken will not only cause pain to Sichuan, but also after occupying Zhongtiao Mountain, the Eighth Route Army's back will be completely exposed to the attack of the imperial army, and it can also completely cut off Chuxiong's troops' access to foreign aid. have to! "
Yuren nodded repeatedly and praised:
"Hey, Tojo-kun is indeed a loyal minister of the empire. Ishihara-kun actually dares to question Tojo-kun's strategic vision. It's extremely ridiculous. I think it's just a bird that knows the ambition of a swan;
Ishihara is ruining the country with empty talk, but Tojo-kun is the one who can truly rejuvenate the country with hard work! "
Senior Tojo was moved to tears. His Majesty understood him. That bastard Ishihara actually gave him the nickname "Senior Private". This was the greatest insult to him.
"Your Majesty, I don't care about these verbal disputes. Ishihara-kun is just joking. Please don't blame him. Apart from his bad mouth, he still has some talents."
Yuren said with a look of disgust:
"Ishihara-kun is too narrow-minded. Unlike Tojo-kun, Prime Minister's heart can support a boat. I have Tojo-kun, just like Xuantoku-kun has Kongming;
I trust you the most. In order to quickly resolve the China Incident, I decided to mobilize a hundred thousand troops to launch the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain. The time will be April or May next year. "
