Hearing what he said, everyone was silent.

Although Prince Mahiko's narration was very plain, everyone can hear the thrillingness contained in it, and how critical the situation is.

"Unbelievable! Unbelievable!"

I don't know how long it took before Prime Minister Nobuyuki Abe said in shock.

His voice trembled a little, enough to express the horror in his heart.

The same goes for others.

There was a look of shock on every face.

Obviously, none of them expected this ending.

Even Emperor Hirohito couldn't believe it.

For a long time, the news from the cabinet to him was that the mainland was going smoothly, but now it seems that this is going smoothly?This is clearly the moment of life and death!

After a long time, Emperor Hirohito said: "The Central China Front Army is in such a crisis, if the [-] troops are annihilated by the Chinese Army, what will happen?"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and no one dared to speak.

Only Nobuyuki Abe wanted to vomit, and sighed: "If the [-] troops are annihilated by the Chinese army, our imperial army in Central China will be completely empty, and the Chinese army will not be able to invade Central China with the slightest help. Then threaten North China, and even... may even lose North China!"

"Once the North China region is also lost, then we will only be left with the three provinces outside the customs on the mainland. At that time, we will lose such a large strategic place to maneuver, and we will be attacked by the enemy. Maybe even the three provinces will fall... Arrive that time……"

Nobuyuki Abe didn't say what will happen at that time, but no matter who it is, he knows what the result will be.

Once the three provinces are also lost, their Japanese army will have to withdraw from the mainland, so they will continue to hide on this small island, and they will even have no spare power to invade Asia, and then compete with the great powers!

In other words, if they lose the three provinces, they will be crippled and will no longer be able to touch the mainland!

They didn't tell, and Emperor Hirohito didn't ask.

Because as long as he looked at the faces of these people present, he knew that this would definitely end badly!

He couldn't help sighing, and was silent for a moment, then asked unwillingly: "Is there no other way?"

"It's hard!" Prince Asaka Masahiko sighed, "Your Majesty, the current situation in Central China has deteriorated to such an extent that trying to save it is tantamount to going to heaven! What's more, we have no way to ease the situation at this time. !"

"A few months ago, according to the plan at the cabinet meeting, the Kwantung Army sent elite divisions to launch a large-scale tentative strategic attack on the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces in the Nomonhan area, 200 kilometers south of Hailar on the border between China and Mumbai. We mobilized the strength of several elite divisions to fight the Russian army. We had a fierce confrontation for more than four months on the wasteland with overgrown weeds and rolling sand dunes. However, because the Russian army was well-equipped As a result, we beckoned to our first and most painful defeat since the Great War, our imperial army lost countless, and now the Kwantung Army, which has the most spare capacity, can't send even a single trace of soldiers!"

"North China lost a lot in the previous battles of Xuzhou and Wuhan. Under the vanguard of the Chinese army, it can only protect itself. How can there be extra troops to support Ningji Okamura? As for our expeditionary force ...they also fell and suffered setbacks one after another, and they couldn't mobilize any troops at all..."

Hearing Prince Asaka Masahiko's words, Emperor Hirohito's face turned green and pale.

The extreme ups and downs in his heart seemed to contain great anger.

"Snapped!"

Emperor Hirohito slapped the case table, and said angrily: "Why? Why don't I know all of this? Are you planning to hide it from me for the rest of your life if Neji Okamura doesn't have this incident?"

He glared at all the people present, whether it was the Ministry of the Army or the Ministry of the Navy, all the senior generals present, these people, under his glaring, bowed their heads and did not dare to look at him.

Just as Emperor Hirohito said, if it wasn't for this sudden incident that caused the situation to deteriorate to a level that they couldn't even imagine, Emperor Hirohito would probably not know these things until he died.

Emperor Hirohito also knew that it was useless to just get angry at this moment, so he just lost his temper for a while, and soon calmed down.

He clearly knew that the most urgent task at the moment was to discuss a countermeasure immediately, and it was useless to solve the problem by just getting angry and keeping silent!

Thinking of this, Emperor Hirohito said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about it, you all talk about what should be done. Now we have reached the most dangerous moment for our empire. If we are not careful, we will end up with a car crash. None of these people here can escape!"

"You all talk, discuss and discuss, and come up with a charter together! Just sitting like this won't help!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present couldn't help but look at each other, and no one spoke for a while.

Seeing that they were not talking, Emperor Hirohito became more and more angry. He wanted to lose his temper but he held back. He couldn't help but look at Nobuyuki Abe and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Abe, you are the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. explain!"

"Hey!" Hearing His Majesty's roll call, Abe Nobuyuki sighed, pondered for a moment and then said: "We know the current situation, it is not very good! Central China is irreparable. In my opinion, the best The solution is not to continue to make up for it, but to find a way to find another way!"

"Another way? How can one find another way? Tell me what you think?" Emperor Hirohito asked.

"We failed to go north last time, which caused us a lot of losses. Attacking the Russian army is no longer a good way. The only thing we can do now is open source! Right now, our strategic reserves are extremely short, and even almost It's empty, if we continue like this, I'm afraid we won't need others to do anything, we will collapse first!"

"Then you're talking about the method!" Emperor Hirohito urged impatiently as he continued to babble, frowning.

Nobuyuki Abe was silent for a while, and finally said in a deep voice: "Change the strategic focus and focus our energy on Southeast Asia!"

"No!"

As soon as this remark came out, before Emperor Hirohito could speak, a group of army ministers headed by Prince Asaka Miyahiko and Prince Kanin Miya Zaihito immediately exclaimed.

Prince Zairen said in a deep voice: "Attacking China and building a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere has always been our goal and direction. We have made countless efforts for this goal. If we change our focus at this time, wouldn't it be a reversal of the previous goal?" All the hard work was wasted? Isn’t everything I did before all in vain!”

"No, Your Majesty, this is absolutely not possible!"

Prince Zairen said decisively.

When he said this, other people in the Ministry of Army nodded their heads in agreement.

"I didn't say to give up the mainland. Why is Prince Zairen so excited!" Abe Nobuyuki said unhurriedly: "What I said to focus on Southeast Asia is under the premise of stability in the mainland!"

"Then tell me, what kind of stability is this stability?" Prince Zairen asked.

"Abandon Central China, and even North China when necessary. You only need to stick to the three provinces to ensure the safety of this place!" Abe Nobuyuki said: "At present, the areas outside the pass can no longer be stationed. It is obvious that Central China has fallen. There is no problem, but everyone here understands that it is only a matter of time before the Chinese army recovers. Rather than waiting until the Chinese army arrives and being forced to fight with it, and lose the army again, it is better to give up now, retreat outside the pass, and hold on tight. Defend the area outside the pass!"

"You know, the area outside the customs is rich in resources, and we have built a lot of factories. As long as we defend this area, we can provide our empire with a steady stream of war resources, which is enough for us to fight in Southeast Asia!"

"After we have conquered Southeast Asia, we will support our war with war and plunder the oil and other strategic resources here. Once we can open up the situation, even if the mainland is frustrated, our empire will still be able to dominate the Pacific Ocean!"

"Isn't this a good thing?" Abe Nobuyuki said.

"This... this is absolutely impossible!" Prince Zairen said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the most powerful thing in our empire is the army. Our army is even afraid of the Russian army. It is famous all over the world. Its combat power is extremely strong and it is forced to stick to it , wouldn’t this give up our greatest advantage?”

"The present said, how can the situation in Southeast Asia be opened up so easily? Let alone their local resistance, how can the Western powers remain indifferent?"

Hearing this, Nobuyuki Abe did not speak, but Yamamoto 56 snorted coldly and said: "Now that the German army is waging war in Europe, it has disrupted the whole of Europe. The Western powers are too busy to take care of themselves. How can they deal with us? The author said, even if they come to deal with us, is it possible that our empire is afraid of them?"

"I don't dare to boast about the army, but when it comes to our navy, as long as our fleet is in the Pacific Ocean, we are not afraid of any country's fleet coming!"

At the end, Yamamoto 56 even made a mockery.

"You..." Sure enough, upon hearing this, Prince Zairen immediately glared at him.

But he really couldn't refute it!
