MTL - Jagged Germany

  General Shimoda Shigetaro, General Nagano Shoshin and General Yamamoto Fifty-six did not keep Prime Minister Hideki Tojo and General Sugiyama Moto waiting for a long time, and arrived at the prime minister's office half an hour later.

  The three of them also analyzed Prime Minister Hideki Tojo's intention to summon them on the way here. Although it is not particularly clear, the meaning has probably been guessed. The southern army is now in a bitter battle. Prime Minister Hideki Tojo wants to summon them at this time, it must be for the war in Nanyang. However, how to deal with it depends on what Prime Minister Hideki Tojo is going to do next.

  When the main force of the German navy entered the South China Sea, the navy of the island country voluntarily withdrew from the South China Sea in order to preserve its strength. Now, the combined fleet has retreated to the waters east of the Philippine Islands. Although there are many German islands in this sea area. However, in the first half of this year, after the recovery of the naval strength of the island countries, they continued to attack these islands. The military installations on these islands were destroyed over and over again with bombs and shells. This made it impossible for the German Navy to use these islands for a while.

   However, the navy of the island country is very clear. Although the island nation's navy is now at its peak in history. However, compared with the German Navy, they are still at a disadvantage. Even if the German navy has only assembled three fleets in the Pacific Ocean, it is not something that the navy of the island country can deal with. If possible, the navy of the island country hopes to delay the decisive battle with the German navy as much as possible. After more aircraft carriers and capital ships are in service, they will have relatively greater strength. That way, the chances of success are greater.

   "Shimada-kun, Nagano-kun, Yamamoto-kun, please sit down!" Prime Minister Hideki Tojo's face was full of smiles.

  Although the conflict between the army and navy of the island country is very large. However, after he became prime minister, he had to find a way to balance the army and navy. Otherwise, this will not only cause the loss of the military power of the island nation, but also seriously affect the unity of the island nation society.

  General Shimoda Shigetaro, General Nagano Slim and General Yamamoto Fifty-six have done well.

"My lords, the empire is now at the point of life and death. The German offensive in Nanyang is very fierce. With the naval artillery firepower of the navy and the air support of the air force, the southern army suffered heavy losses. Terauchi Shouichi The general reported that if this continues, the Southern Army may soon be unable to hold on. So now we must find a way to allow the Southern Army to continue. Otherwise, once the Southern Army fails, the entire Nanyang will fall. It fell into the hands of the Germans. At that time, they will even directly attack our homeland. In that case, it will be a disaster for the empire." Prime Minister Hideki Tojo said with a serious face.

  Generals Shimoda Shigetaro, Nagano Self-cultivation, and Yamamoto Fifty-Six said that this is really no different from what they expected. However, the southern army is now at a disadvantage, which is not good news for the island navy. Once the southern army is defeated, the mainland of the island country will be threatened. At that time, the Japanese navy will have to find a way to resist the German attack.

"Gentlemen, the southern army needs support now. The army has decided to deploy two air armies to Nanyang again to weaken the air superiority of the Germans. I hope that the navy can be dispatched and wait for an opportunity to defeat the German navy. Just wait for the country to defeat the German navy If so, then our predicament in Nanyang can be resolved. After losing command of the sea, it is impossible for the Germans to defeat us in Nanyang." Prime Minister Hideki Tojo continued.

  General Shimoda Shigetaro and the others were taken aback for a moment. They did not expect that Prime Minister Hideki Tojo would directly make such a request. However, this is too much to think highly of the island navy. If they want to defeat the German navy, it will be very difficult. It is even said that it is almost impossible.

"Your Excellency, our strength is weaker than that of the German Navy. Not only is the number of carrier-based aircraft greatly inferior to that of the German Navy, but the performance is also seriously behind the German Navy. Moreover, due to the heavy losses of our carrier-based aircraft pilots, the supplementary carrier-based aircraft pilots are all They are recruits without actual combat experience. If we let them go to a decisive battle with the Germans, it may be very difficult for us to win. We may even lose ourselves.” General Shimoda Shigetaro said.

   Prime Minister Hideki Tojo couldn't help but frowned.

"Shimada-san, if the navy doesn't move out, I'm afraid we can only watch the Southern Army suffer a disastrous defeat. At that time, the Germans will attack our homeland step by step. Once the homeland is attacked by the Germans , This will deal a devastating blow to us." General Sugiyama Gen said.

   "But if the navy fails instead of defeating the Germans, then once our homeland is threatened by the Germans, there will be no way to resist the Germans' attack." Admiral Nagano Slim said.

"The defense of the mainland is the responsibility of the army. We are recruiting more troops. Soon, we will be able to assemble 8 million troops on the mainland. Even if the navy fails, it is impossible for the Germans to defeat us on the mainland. Yes." Prime Minister Hideki Tojo said.

  Suddenly, Generals Shimoda Shigetaro, General Nagano Shoshin and General Yamamoto Fifty-six were silent. From the words of Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, they could hear the determination of Prime Minister Hideki Tojo. In other words, it is the determination of the Army. If the Navy still refuses to agree to send a joint fleet to fight at this time, then the two sides may officially tear each other apart.

"Gentlemen, the situation is urgent now. It is about the life and death of the empire. We must do our best. Even if there is only a sliver of hope, we must do our best. In this case, maybe we can have a chance. As long as we can defeat the German navy Let the southern army persist in Nanyang. Then, we will be able to obtain a large amount of resources from the Indonesian and Philippine archipelago. At that time, the warships lost by the navy will be replenished soon. Even, there will be development It is stronger. But if the Southern Army loses, we lose Nanyang. Then, we will no longer get any resources. And the aircraft carriers and battleships under construction in the Navy may just continue to lie on the berth. Slowly rusting." Prime Minister Hideki Tojo continued.

  General Shimoda Shigetaro and others looked very ugly, and Prime Minister Hideki Tojo's intention of persecution was undoubtedly already very obvious.
