Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

"If we take the wrong path, we will go to war with old capitalist countries like Britain and the United States."

"You were on the list of war criminals at that time, but it had nothing to do with me."

After saying this, Mitsumasa Yonai put a document on the table and turned to leave Tojo's office.

"Baga, you're a navy idiot. You sound cowardly the moment you open your mouth."

"One can tell right away that this is a red deer trained by the navy."

"You actually want to form an alliance with the white people to achieve victory?"

"The empire can only survive if it integrates East Asia and then fights a decisive battle with the white people!"

Tojo had just finished speaking.

Then Ishiwara Kanji walked in.

"His Majesty the Licking Emperor doesn't know about what's happening in North China yet. What should we do now?"

Faced with Ishihara Kanji's question, Private Tojo thought for a moment before saying, "Call His Excellency Honjo Shigeru at the Kwantung Army Headquarters."

"Let him go all out to ensure the safety of Manchuria, and at the same time ensure the safety of Peking, Tianjin and other places outside Shanhaiguan."

"When necessary, the headquarters will send the navy to assist them in defense."

"Please, Master Honjo Shigeru, please make sure you get through this most difficult period."

"We will mobilize reinforcements from the country to the northeast and the coast of Longguo as soon as possible."

"Prepare to launch a counterattack against the Eighth Route Army in North China."

"Mr. Tojo." Ishihara Kanji was a little hesitant when he heard his words: "You need to know."

"There are not many defenders on the mainland now."

"The total strength of the Empire is only 550 million troops, North China has 100 million less, and the Kwantung Army has only 30."

"And the troops along the coast of Dragon Country only number 50 in total."

"Right now, the various resistance forces including the Dragon Country Central Army and the Eighth Route Army are in high spirits."

"I'm worried that our troops in Dragon Country won't be able to hold out."

"You have to hold on even if you can't." Tojo slammed his fist down on the table.

"You have to know that our empire has been instigating a war against the Dragon Kingdom since 1896."

"Now is the most critical moment. If we can't take down the entire Dragon Kingdom."

"Let the Dragon Kingdom surrender completely and expand the living space for our Yamato nation."

"Once Britain and the ugly white beasts react in the future, the empire will be in complete danger."

"The Navy is not on the same page with us, and they don't understand why we must ally with Germany."

"Now that we have suffered defeat in North China, the pro-British and pro-Ugly traitors in the country will surely take the opportunity to launch a counterattack against us."

"We must consolidate our position through fighting against the Dragon Nation."

"The rise and fall of the empire depends on this one move. The country has come to this point."

"Shouldn't we, the men of the Showa era, catch up bravely?" Tojo looked at Ishiwara Kanji.

Ishihara Kanji looked at him like a fool and said, "Tojo-kun, I hope you can understand."

"Now the U.S. side has begun to feel unhappy that we have not been able to reach an agreement with Chiang Kai-shek of the Dragon Kingdom."

"Besides, because we failed in this war, the Ugly Country is very likely to sanction our oil transportation lines."

"If our oil transportation lines are cut off, the Empire's planes and cars may not even have enough oil to start, let alone warships."

"It is not a good idea to continue fighting against the Dragon Kingdom now," said Ishiwara Kanji.

If he had said this in the past, Tojo would probably have slapped him twice in the face.

Even though Ishiwara Kanji was almost at the same level as himself.

But for the future of the empire, Tojo did not mind punishing traitors.

However, as the current Prime Minister of the Empire, he still has some rationality after all.

He knew very well that what Ishiwara Kanji said was right.

If we continue like this, we will most likely face strong sanctions from the United States.

There is even a high possibility that the United States will directly join the war.

Still, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the United States joining the war.

The powerful imperial soldiers can simply tear apart all obstacles.

But the problem now is that we have just suffered a defeat on the battlefield in Dragon Country.

If we go to war with the United States like this, I'm afraid there will be big problems.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, Tojo looked at Ishihara Kanji and asked, "So what do you think?"

Ishihara Kanji was stunned for a moment, then said happily: "Tojo-kun, please send me to Dragon Country."

"I will host the meeting with Chiang Kai-shek to work with him."

“What if that can’t be achieved?”

"Then I will go meet the Eighth Route Army. At least they will agree to the ceasefire condition of supporting the Eighth Route Army to control North China."

After hearing what Ishiwara Kanji said, Tojo stood up and looked.

Then, Tojo looked at him meaningfully and said, "You are no longer the Ishihara Kanji who launched the September 18 Incident nine years ago."

"It seems that you are becoming more and more timid."

Ishihara Kanji smiled slightly, not caring at all: "Tojo-kun, this is what we should do for the future of the empire."

"As for personal reputation, it is not important."

……

Chiang Kai-shek was sitting in his office, listening to the report from Boss Dai.

The current situation is that some differences have begun to emerge within the Central Army.

Some people advocated joining forces with the Eighth Route Army and pursuing the victory.

Some people suggest taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese are now downsizing to impose a larger blockade on the Eighth Route Army.

The Japanese invaders were blocking the Eighth Route Army, which prevented it from developing to its current state.

If the Japanese surrender one day, can the Eighth Route Army still stop them?

Of course, both choices have their own merits.

But all this must be presided over by Chiang Kai-shek himself.

After listening to what Boss Dai said.

Then he sighed and said, "Old Dai, what do you think about this matter?"

After hearing what Chiang Kai-shek said, Boss Dai thought for a while before saying, "Principal, the students thought."

"At this time, the Eighth Route Army had just concluded the Battle of Taiyuan, and its prestige across the country was extremely high."

"If we launch a surprise attack on the Eighth Route Army at this time, it will probably cause a bad international impression."

Upon hearing the words "international outlook", Chang Kaishen immediately sat up.

His expression also became much more serious.

"Yes, Old Dai, you are right."

"The best thing in my life is face."

"When I was in the Green Gang, I, Jiang, was full of vigor and vitality and led the Northern Expedition Army to the north."

"When I first arrived in Shanghai, everything was booming."

"I didn't expect the good times to last long. Soon I was defeated and retreated. I was almost wiped out by Wu Peifu and Sun Chuanfang in the north and south."

"Fortunately, at the critical moment, I was able to lead my soldiers and wipe out the two warlords."

"Then we have the Republic of China today. Later, I went to Shanghai to trade stocks."

"I almost lost my pants, but Du Yuesheng helped me at the critical moment."

"You gave me a favor and let me earn some money for the Northern Expedition."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid our Central Army would not be here today." Chiang Kai-shek laughed when he said this.
