Chapter 401 Let go of prejudice
6er[0zrz7.qt]k7t4rw:r3p, that guy named Suichi Seika is very annoying. However, the situation in Nanyang cannot deteriorate. If the development speed of the Ichina army is allowed to take Thailand, they will develop more powerfully. At that time, no one can stop them. The entire Nanyang will probably be captured by them. This will be a fatal blow to the Great Japanese Empire." General Shimada Shintaro thought secretly. Although, according to his personal wishes, he really does not want to help Suichi Seika. However, he, who can become a minister of the navy, still has a sense of the overall situation and knows to consider the overall situation.\r
In addition, the growth rate of the anti-Japanese rescue also made General Shimada Shintaro very worried. The anti-Japanese rescue has only only a few hundred thousand people, and it has developed into a great enemy of the Japanese Southern Army. If they were allowed to develop for a period of time, would that be fine?\r
Once the anti-Japanese rescue and rescue of Thailand were occupied, they would definitely attack eastward, occupy Indochina, southward, and occupy the Malay Peninsula. In the end, the Nanyang Islands might become the next target of the anti-Japanese rescue. As the force supported by the Americans, even if the anti-Japanese rescue is not planned to attack the Nanyang Islands, the Americans would let them attack. At that time, it is very difficult to say whether the Southern Army, which had suffered heavy losses, can still defend the Nanyang Islands.\r
If even the Nanyang Islands were thrown away, then Japan's war machine would be fatally affected. You should know that the rubber, oil, metal produced in Nanyang, and other metals have become indispensable and important war resources for Japan. Without these war resources, Japan would not be able to continue the war.\r
Japan now has completely offended neighboring countries. In addition, the United States, which was severely damaged by them, and a group of European countries. If Japan is defeated, the consequences will be unimaginable.\r
Therefore, in this war, Japan will never lose. Otherwise, their country will not have a future. This is the common understanding of almost all the top Japanese leaders. This is also the reason why Japan still has to support and carry out this war after the situation gradually turns. If possible, of course they will stop when they see the good. But unfortunately, those countries that have lost a lot of benefits will not agree at all! It is absolutely impossible for Japan to swallow these benefits gained in the war.\r
"Come here, let Lord Nagano Cultivation and Lord Isoru Yamamoto Isoruka." General Shintaro Shimada ordered.\r
Although he had decided to agree to the request of General Soichi Teraunuchi and send a fleet to reinforce the Southern Army. However, on this issue, he must reach an agreement with General Nagano Cultivation and General Yamamoto Go. In this way, a common resolution of the navy can be formed.\r
Soon, the Japanese Navy Command Minister Nagano's Slim Self-Study, and the Japanese Navy Joint Fleet Commander Go Yamamoto, arrived at General Shintaro Shimada's office.\r
"His Excellency Shimada, what happened?" asked Nagano's slim self-science.\r
Every time the three Japanese Navy chiefs meet, something big happens.\r
"Two, the Southern Army is in trouble, very big trouble. General Tsouichi Desou personally sent a telegram to the Admiralty Department and asked us to support them." General Shimada Shintaro handed the telegram to General Nagano Cultivation and General Yamamoto Go.\r
After reading the telegram, Nagano's self-cultivation general couldn't help but scold: "Hmph! The army's horse manure is so incompetent. Such a good situation would be beaten like this by them. It's simply incompetent!"\r
General Yamamoto did not answer, but his face was obviously not very good-looking. The disadvantages of the joint fleet in the Pacific battlefield were becoming more and more obvious. In this case, where did they have extra fleets to reinforce the Southern Army? However, General Yamamoto had to admit that the situation of the Southern Army was indeed very bad. Once the Southern Army really failed in Thailand, it would have an extremely bad impact.\r
"Naono, Yamamoto, the situation is already very bad. I know that Sakaichi Sedo is a very arrogant person. If it were not for the last resort, he would not bow his head to ask for help from us." General Shintaro Shimada said.\r
"Even so, the situation in the navy is very bad. Where can we get the fleet to reinforce them? The Americans are becoming more and more aggressive in the Pacific." Nagano's slim self-skinning general opposed this.\r
General Shimada Shintaro shook his head and looked at the Five Generals of Yamamoto.\r
"Yamamoto, what do you think?" asked General Shintaro Shimada.\r
"Kun Shimada, the current situation is indeed very critical. Not only the situation of the Southern Army is critical, but even the situation of our navy is very difficult. Judging from the telegrams sent by the Southern Army, the Chinese have an extremely powerful sea strike force. If we really want to send a fleet to reinforce the Chinese, we must draw at least two aircraft carriers, as well as multiple cruisers and destroyers. This is undoubtedly a huge pressure for the current joint fleet." Yamamoto Gochi said.\r
"But we can't stand by death and refuse to save us! If the Southern Army loses badly on the battlefield in Thailand, then the Chinese people will really be unable to contain it. At that time, they will take advantage of the situation to capture Indochina and the Malay Peninsula, and even further capture the Nanyang Islands. At that time, we will lose the entire Nanyang. We will lose important war resources. At the same time, the enemy will directly approach our homeland. This will be a huge threat to us." General Shintaro Shimada said.\r
Yamamoto nodded: "I agree with this. We cannot lose Nanyang. Nanyang's resources are really too important to us."\r
Although Nagano's self-cultivation general was a little dissatisfied, he could not object to this point. Without the resources of Nanyang, Japan's war machine would be completely shut down. No one could bear such losses.\r
"Dingling!"\r
Suddenly, the phone ringing on the desk rang.\r
General Shimada Shintaro answered the phone.\r
The phone call was called by General Hideki Tojo. During the phone call, General Hideki Tojo claimed that the Great Japanese Empire has reached a very critical point. Whether it is the army or the navy, it is His Majesty's army and should strive for the hegemony of the Great Japanese Empire. He asked the Army and Navy to put aside their prejudices and make every effort to solve the Nanyang issue.\r
