The United States joins the war?" Fushimi Miyagi Hirokyo immediately became dumb.

As the secretary of the Navy Command, Fushimi Miyaki Hirokyo had a deep understanding of the strength of the US Navy. Moreover, the strength of the US is not just the navy itself, but more powerful is their industrial manufacturing foundation. Once a war breaks out, the powerful American civil industry can be converted into military use and continuously produce warships, aircraft and cannons.

And in fact, the Navy has long discussed the possibility of a war between Japan and the United States.

At that meeting, the speeches of General Yamamoto Isori Yamamoto, the commander of the Navy Combined Fleet, were the most representative.

If you only face the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy, then the Japanese Navy will have a clear advantage, but if you face the entire US Navy, the two sides will be evenly matched.

Therefore, if you make up your mind to declare war on the United States, you must seize the tactical initiative, destroy the Pacific Fleet of the US Navy with thunder, and then occupy Hawaii within three months and burn the war to the United States. Even if you cannot land on the west coast of the United States, you must at least make the industry on the west coast of the United States doom.

However, the staff of the Navy Command deduced countless times, but none of them could achieve their goals.

This means that if the right really declares war on the United States, even if the Japanese Navy wins in the early stage, it will definitely lose in the end. This is almost the consensus within the navy.

At this moment, Xianyuangong Zairen said: "The core interests of the United States are in Europe and in the entire Southeast Asia. The United States only cares about the interests of Luzon. We just don't attack Luzon! In this way, we will not alarm the war beast of the United States, and the empire will be able to achieve the goal of quickly occupying Southeast Asia."

Kobe Fumiya slammed the table and said angrily: "This is simply wishful thinking. I firmly oppose the assumption that the United States will not participate in the war. This is ridiculous and stupid!"

Zairen of Xianyuangong said quietly: "If you are always afraid of the head and the east and the west when encountering things, how can you win the Sino-Japanese War of 1894? If you are always afraid of strong enemies and dare not fight, how can you achieve the brilliant victory of the Russo-Japanese War? Even in the Liutiao Lake incident, if the soldiers of the Kwantung Army lack the courage and dare not challenge the 400,000 Northeast Army with less than 10,000 troops, how could you have the feat of annexing the entire Manchuria later?"

After saying this, Xianyuan Gong Zairen looked around again and continued: "Your Majesty, and you guys, betting on national fortune, what is betting on national fortune? Betting on national fortune requires courage!"

"No, no, no, I firmly oppose it." Kobe Fumichi said furiously, "The empire used small to make a big fortune, so he proposed to bet on national destiny. But now the empire has long become a big country. Especially when facing China, the empire has already occupied an overwhelming advantage in terms of politics, economy, military and even cultural levels. In this case, I don't think betting on national destiny is a good idea. We can completely seek a relatively decent way to end the Japanese and Chinese war and then develop with peace of mind. In this case, it takes less than thirty years to make the empire's comprehensive national strength catch up with the United States. By then, we will be able to easily occupy the dominance of the entire Asia without being restricted as we are now."

After saying that, Fumiki Kobe bowed deeply to Hirohito again and said heartbrokenly: "I hope your Majesty will understand clearly!"

Hirohito's brows were deeply frowned. From the bottom of his heart, he was a firm war-strengthening faction, but as the emperor and the real master of Japan, he still maintained his rationality and had a very clear understanding of the Japanese national army and military strength. He knew that challenging the United States and awakening the wild beast of the United States at this time is not a good option.

However, it was a bit unwilling to let Hirohito give up the opportunity in front of him.

Now the attention of Western powers such as Britain and France has been attracted by Germany to Europe. This is really an excellent opportunity for Japan to take advantage of the opportunity to occupy Southeast Asia. Once it obtains iron ore, crude oil and rubber resources from Southeast Asia, Japan will usher in an unprecedented great development. If this is the case, it will not take 30 years at all. In just ten years, Japan's national strength can catch up with the United States, and the Japanese Navy will dare to set off its stance and fight with the US Navy in the Pacific!

As a result, Hirohito's heart fell into a huge struggle.

Just when Hirohito was hesitating, Kiichiro Hiranu who had always had no sense of existence in the cabinet suddenly said weakly: "Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Hirohito waved his hand and said without hesitation: "Tell me."

Kiichiro Hiranuma said: "Your Majesty, the views expressed by the two high men of Fumimi Palace and the Ichimyoji Palace are actually consistent with those stated by Komashi-jun..."

Hearing this, Fumikoto's lungs were almost irritated.

Are you the Minister of Finance of the Kogu Cabinet? You are not the dog of the Shintomiya, Fushimiya!

Before Kiichiro Hirami finished speaking, Koebe Fumiya forced himself to interrupt: "Haimaru, are you a pig? I think the empire should avoid going to war against the United States and end the Japanese war with a decent attitude. However, the opinions of the two high men, Hitomiya and Fushimiya, believed that they should firmly start war against the United States and continue to expand the war. Can these two be the same?"

"Uh..." Kiichiro Hirami said awkwardly, "These two do seem to be in the opposite direction, but if you think about it carefully, there is indeed a consistency, because whether you want to end the Japanese and Chinese war with the United States with a decent end, or start a war with the United States, you may need to complete a small goal first, and you must first pull out the nail of Yinjiang, right?"

Whether it was Hirohito, Fushimiami Hakukyu, Xianyuan Hakuhiro or Kotomi Fumi, his heart was moved.

That’s true, Kiichiro Hirami is really right. No matter which option you choose in the end, one thing is that it has been determined first, that is, Yinjiang’s nail must be pulled out!

The reason is very simple. If the nail, Yinjiang, is impossible to end the Japanese branch war with decent silence.

If war is declared on the United States, the threat of Yinjiang will be even greater. Once the US aid is continuously imported into Yinjiang City, the Chinese government can build a real industrial base in a short period of time and form dozens or even hundreds of elite American equipment engineers in a short period of time!

What's even more terrifying is that the US Air Force bombers take off from Yinjiang Airport can directly threaten the safety of Japan's local industrial cities and ports! At that time, Japan's local industrial production will suffer a fatal blow. If this situation really occurs, Japan will lose the war without any suspense, and it will lose the war in a short period of time.

Thinking of this, Yukihito made a decision in his heart, and he stood up and said, "Then let's take Yinjiang first. After taking Yinjiang City, we will decide whether to declare war on the United States or end the war with a decent amount."
