With the destruction of the Southern Army, the entire Nanyang fell into the hands of the German army again. This means that all the benefits obtained by the island army after participating in the war were lost. And it also paid a huge price.

Since the war started, the island country army has more than three million troops killed, and at the same time, the island country navy has also been all trapped. The island country navy has lost all its main ships and aircraft carriers. Although there are still a large number of unfinished warships in the shipyard of the island country navy. Unfortunately, the island country no longer has enough resources to build these warships. Especially after the Indonesian archipelago and the Philippine archipelago, the island country can no longer obtain resources from the South China Sea.

Of course, the island government had stored some resources before. But what's the point of investing those resources in the construction of warships now? Even if the island navy once again has some main ships and aircraft carriers, it is probably impossible to compete with the German navy! Instead of doing this, it's better to invest all the remaining resources in the construction of guns and ammunition that the army needs. In this way, the island government can also form more troops on the local level, and perhaps resist the German attack and thus protect the island nation.

Prime Minister's Office and Prime Minister Hideki Tojo once again summoned the important officials of the island's domestic cabinet to discuss the current situation. However, the current situation is undoubtedly very obvious. The island country has lost a lot in this war. After the joint fleet and the Southern Army were destroyed one after another, the German army's next step must be to launch an attack on the island country's mainland.

"You guys, the empire is now at an urgent critical moment of life and death. Our enemies are gathering. In the next step, they will undoubtedly launch an attack on our homeland. If you want to protect the empire, you must resist the attack of the Germans. Otherwise, the empire will be completely finished." Prime Minister Hideki Tojo said.

The other island cabinet ministers nodded, and of course they knew this situation. However, they also knew that it would be very difficult to resist the German attack and allow the island country to continue to exist. The current situation of the German army is obviously to destroy the island country in one fell swoop! Moreover, judging from the combat effectiveness shown by the German army, the Germans could do this completely.

"Has the army expanded completed?" asked Prime Minister Hideki Tojo.

"Prime Minister, the expansion of the army has been completed. We have once again recruited five million troops. However, these troops are not equipped yet. Due to the lack of resources, we cannot even have a rifle for each person!" General Sugiyama Moto said with a bitter face.

"Shida-kun, temporarily hand over the resources used by the Navy to build warships to the Army. What do you think? Wait until we resist the attack of the Germans and save the empire, and then return these resources to the Navy." Head of Tojo Hideki said to General Shintaro Shimada.

General Shimada Shintaro nodded, and he also knew that the most important thing now is undoubtedly to resist the German attack. As for the others, they can be temporarily suspended. If the island country cannot be saved, the island country's navy will naturally have no future.

"Prime Minister, let it be your arrangement!" said General Shintaro Shimada.

Prime Minister Hideki Tojo nodded: "You guys, now we need to arm our army with all our might and strive to resist the attack of the Germans in the next battle. Only by resisting the attack of the Germans can our country continue to exist!"

"Hi, Prime Minister!" said the ministers of the island's domestic cabinet.

After the cabinet meeting ended, Prime Minister Hideki Tojo kept General Sugiyama Moto.

"How are our army prepared? The morale of the troops has not been affected, right?" Hideki Tojo asked.

"Prime Minister, the troops have almost prepared. At least the personnel are in place. We will try our best to equip more weapons and equipment. As for morale, because the Navy and the Southern Army have been destroyed one after another, it is impossible to hide it. Therefore, the morale of the troops has inevitably been affected. However, when the country is facing a crisis of life and death, the warriors of the Empire can still muster up the courage to fight the enemy to the end! I can guarantee this, please rest assured that the Prime Minister. Once the Germans dare to attack our local area, we will definitely let them see the courage of the warriors of the Empire." General Sugiyama Moto said.

Prime Minister Hideki Tojo's face looked a little better. Indeed, the island country is completely at a disadvantage now. If they want to compete with the powerful Germany, they have almost no chance of winning. However, Hideki Tojo believes that once the German army faces the attack of millions of angry island country troops, even if they can win, they will definitely pay a heavy price. In this way, the island country may be able to use this to gain the opportunity to save the island country.

"Where are the civilians? Have they started?" Hideki Tojo asked.

"Prime Minister, we are already starting to mobilize the people. All the people are ready. Although they are not equipped, they can fight with the Germans with bamboo knives and bamboo guns. Even the warriors among them can also die with the Germans with grenades and explosives bags. I believe that once the Germans attack our local area, they will definitely find themselves in a quagmire of war. At that time, the Germans will definitely regret it. And our purpose can be achieved." General Sugiyama Moto seemed very confident.

Hideki Tojo nodded: "If this happens, it would be great. We are ready to fight the Germans on the ground. And we believe that we can definitely withstand the attack of the Germans. The empire will not be destroyed. We will definitely be able to overcome this crisis. This time we are not able to defeat the Germans, but in the future, we may not be without a chance!"

"Hi, Prime Minister!" General Sugiyama Moto replied.

In this war, failure of the island nation is inevitable. However, they will not give up. As long as they can save the island nation, they will wait for the next opportunity. The island nation also believes that they will not fail again next time.

When the island country was at a critical moment of life and death, the island country emperor Hirohito also came out to deliver a radio speech, calling on all island people to pick up weapons and prepare to resist the enemy's attack.
