"Look at what they are doing! You are the Minister of War! Can't you make a decision at this time?

In that case, just give up your position and let someone who can make the final decision take over! You are such a waste!" Mitsumasa Yonai shouted sarcastically.

"Does the Kwantung Army have the confidence to win? Can you, the Army, give me an accurate answer?" The Emperor raised his hand to suppress the words of the Navy, then looked at Zairen and Yuheng Yicheng and asked.

"Your Majesty, there is absolutely no problem in winning, but I am afraid that it will lead to a larger-scale war.

If that happens, the national policy we have formulated long ago will be overturned, and all the advance preparations the empire has made for the war against China will be in vain.

We have to fight a war with the Soviet Union that we are not fully prepared for! "Prince Zairen saw that the emperor was looking at him all the time, so he could only come out and speak.

"So, your opinion is to admit defeat and then send people to protest to the Soviet Union? To stop them from selling planes to China?" the Emperor asked.

"This..." Zairen was speechless, and looked at the emperor with embarrassment, saying: "Your Majesty, don't admit defeat. Let the Kwantung Army and the Soviet Army test each other on a small scale. It's not certain who will win or lose. As for the aircraft, let's leave it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They are more experienced."

"Coward!" The navy's Mitsumasa Yonai slapped the ground and stood up.

He took a few steps forward and knelt in front of the Emperor, touching the ground with his head, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, we must not compromise. If the Kwantung Army does not have the confidence to win, let us send the navy. Our navy will defend the face of His Majesty the Emperor to the death and will never compromise with the Soviets!"

The remaining few members of the navy also stood up and knelt beside Mitsumasa Yonai, as if they agreed with Mitsumasa Yonai's attitude.

"Baga! Why would you go up when we tell you to go navy? Are you going to drive the warships onto land?" Shanshan Yuan shouted excitedly. The navy's action of requesting to fight was simply to nail the army to the pillar of shame of cowards!

“Haha, although our warships cannot reach land, we have the Marine Corps. Give us some time and funds.

We can immediately recruit soldiers and join the war against the Soviet Union. Even if all of them die in battle, our soldiers can still deal a heavy blow to the Soviet Union, and will definitely prevent the Soviet Union from easily getting involved in the war between the Empire and China.

Don't dare to sell planes to China! Let China threaten the safety of the emperor! "Yonai Mitsumasa lowered his head and said loudly, the saliva in his mouth wet the ground.

"That's right! We in the navy are not as cowardly as you in the army.

I believe that the general public has the same idea as our navy. As long as we inform the public that China wants to threaten your majesty, countless citizens will stand up and defend your majesty's glory together with our navy!"

Nagano Osami once again expressed his agreement, and still used the two words "that's it". The word "that's it" has almost become his catchphrase.

The words of these two people made the entire army's faces darken. Many of them clenched their fists until they turned purple, and they were ready to go forward and fight.

The Marine Corps! In the eyes of these army soldiers, it is a taboo. They still want to recruit soldiers through this incident! Wishful thinking! The place without sea water is the territory of the army! The navy must not be allowed to get involved!

Just when the Army was getting angry and was about to announce that it would mobilize the Kwantung Army to attack with all its strength.

After watching the show for a long time, Takasaki Takumi coughed lightly, attracting the attention of the whole audience, and then said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have listened for so long and I have a general idea of it.

The reason why the Kwantung Army did not dare to increase its manpower investment was that it was worried that wasting too many resources and manpower would affect the upcoming war against China, and it was also worried that it would trigger a full-scale confrontation with the Soviet Union. I think the thoughts of the army predecessors are correct. "

Takumi Takazaki's words made the Emperor and the navy's people frown unconsciously, while the army's people showed joy on their faces. Takumi Takazaki was helping them out, what a good man!

"So what you mean is that you agree with the Army's opinion and the Empire should protest to the Soviet Union?" the Emperor frowned.

“Oh, no, no, no, Your Majesty, you misunderstood me. My brother can even shout the slogan of paving the road with corpses, how can I, as the eldest brother, behave so unbearably.

What I want to say is that you are taking it too seriously and overestimating the Soviet Union’s combat power.”

Takazaki Takumi said as he opened the briefcase beside him, took out a document, and raised his hands above his head.

When the emperor's attendants saw it, they immediately stepped forward to take it.

“The relationship between the Soviet Union and the Nanjing government of China is not yet good enough to easily agree to military assistance.

The relationship between China and the Soviet Union has never been very good. If the Empire had not served as the Soviet Union's number one target of defense in the Far East, I think the situation between China and the Soviet Union would have been the same as the situation between the Empire and the Soviet Union today.

After our Ministry of Foreign Affairs received the intelligence, we immediately analyzed all the intelligence from China and came to a conclusion.

Even if China bought the fighter jets, the airports they built, the aviation fuel they produced, the ground staff, the mechanic repairs and most of the logistical support could not meet the large-scale combat needs of the Soviet and Russian bombers.

It was even said that whether the planes purchased from the Soviet Union could take off normally was a problem. "When the Emperor got the information and looked through it, Takumi Takazaki began to explain to the others.

"Oh! In that case, our previous worries were completely over-the-top?" Yu Heng Yicheng asked with some joy.

"That's not the case. What I'm saying is that China lacks the infrastructure to organize large-scale air strikes.

But we still have the ability to send a small number of bombers at the last hurdle, but the danger is much smaller and will not cause serious damage to the empire as described in the intelligence sent by Takuto. "Takasaki Takumi raised his lips and chuckled.

Without waiting for others to ask, he continued, "Speaking of the battle between the Kwantung Army and the Soviet Union, I have to criticize your army. The Manchurian Railway has collected so much information, why do you still overestimate the Soviet army's combat power?

The Soviet army was seriously short of manpower in the Zhanggufeng area and could only have a local advantage in equipment. As long as the Kwantung Army mobilized more than two divisions, it could easily defeat the enemy.

But if the battle drags on too long, giving the Soviets time to dispatch troops to support them, the Kwantung Army might really be defeated this time.

Moreover, you must not forget that if we do not inflict heavy damage on the Soviet army this time, once we start fighting against China, we will have to leave behind a large number of elite Kwantung Army troops to guard against the Soviet Union.

But if the Soviet army can be scared and hurt this time, I think the empire will be able to relax a lot.

Moreover, the strategic focus of the Soviet Union has never been in the Far East, and it will not easily engage in a larger-scale conflict with the Empire!

So my suggestion is, just like what my brother Takuto said, to fight the Soviet Union with all our strength at Zhanggufeng. Instead of testing each other, it is better to strike with all our strength and make the other side dare not to attack again easily for a short period of time.

We should buy ourselves a year or so to eliminate the threat from the north for the next war against China."

When Takumi Takazaki said this, there was a terrifying gleam in his eyes and he swept his sharp gaze over everyone present.
