Anti-Japanese War: I have a million soldiers and you call me a division commander?

"As for the price, our intelligence personnel learned that the cost of a BF-109 fighter in Hans was 3.5 Reichsmarks, which is equivalent to about 3.8 yen in Japanese yen."

"The Mishima Hurricane fighter jets are about the same price, around 40,000 yen."

"But if we buy them, the price might be a bit higher. We calculated that each plane would cost around 6 yen."

Upon hearing this, His Majesty the Emperor frowned. This price was not cheap.

But when he thought of Chu Feng, a Chinese, His Majesty the Emperor's brows relaxed and he asked, "Then how many planes do we need to ensure our advantage over Chu Feng's troops?"

Upon hearing this, the old Japanese general organized his words and said, "According to our understanding, the Chinese Chu Feng army has nearly a hundred aircraft. If we want to gain an advantage, we need two hundred."

"But the Chinese Chufeng tribe should have a purchasing channel. They are developing very quickly. To cope with their growth, we must purchase at least 300 aircraft."

"But 300 planes are only enough, and cannot guarantee complete victory, so we have to buy 400 to 500 planes." The old Japanese general was naturally not polite after finally getting a plan to expand the strength of the army aviation corps.

In the Japanese country, most of the military funds were given to the navy, which made the army very unhappy. Now there is such a good plan. Even if they don’t get artillery, it doesn’t matter. Aircraft are also a good choice.

As soon as the old Japanese general said the 500 planes, the Japanese emperor didn't say anything, but the finance minister who came with the Japanese emperor couldn't sit still.

"What? Five hundred? No, no, that's too many!"

"We can't afford to spend so much money to buy so many planes. We can only buy 200 at most."

The old Japanese general was instantly displeased when he heard this. He glared with his mung bean-sized eyes and roared, "Baga, without planes, what can we use to fight Chu Feng?"

"Are you asking our Imperial warriors to use their bodies to resist the Chinese planes and artillery? If the battle fails again, will you be responsible? Or do you think the lives of Imperial warriors are not lives? Only your money is the most important thing, damn it!!!"

Among the Japanese, soldiers and those who manage money are always in opposition.

The Japanese army and navy were at odds, but they could agree on two points.

Whether it is the navy or the army, they hate two types of people: those who don't spend money on them, and those who oppose them spending money.

It is obvious that the Japanese Finance Minister who spoke out in opposition at this time was the one the Japanese soldiers hated the most.

"idiot!"

The finance minister, accustomed to the military's aggressiveness, retorted without hesitation: "In short, I don't have 500 planes, at most 200. I don't have the money."

"Nani?"

The old Japanese general could no longer sit still, so he stood up and wanted to have a real interaction with the Minister of Finance.

"idiot!"

The Japanese Emperor's head started to hurt again. He slammed the table and said, "You are all high-ranking officials in the empire. How can you behave like this? You bastards!"

After scolding him, the little Japanese emperor looked at the old Japanese general and said, "500 planes are indeed a bit too many. How about this, 300. In order to destroy Chu Feng's troops and gain an advantage, this investment is still worth it."

"However, I can't come up with so much money at once."

"How about this: the government pays 50%, the military pays 30%, and I'll pay the remaining 20%."

"The specific negotiations will be conducted jointly by the military and the cabinet. We can purchase some fighter jets and a complete set of spare parts and produce them domestically."

As the Japanese Emperor decided to speak out, the Minister of Finance agreed although he was dissatisfied.

"Hi Yi!"

The old Japanese general was also a little dissatisfied. In his opinion, the cabinet should have been the one to handle it.

"Hi Yi!"

But since His Majesty the Emperor had made the decision, he could only nod and agree. Although the military budget had been spent, this little money could still be raised.

The matter was settled and the situation calmed down a lot.

However, most of the Japanese soldiers were satisfied, but one of them was a little dissatisfied.

“Bagya Road!!!”

300 aircraft, 1800 million yen, these numbers made Lieutenant General Noda feel so irritated that his chest ached.

"This should have been mine!"

"For 1800 million yen, we can produce 1000 aircraft."

"Baga, damn it!!!"

At this moment, Lieutenant General Noda was also a little dissatisfied with the various monopoly chaebols. These guys were not enterprising and just wanted to suck blood. Now they missed such a big order.

If these guys had put in a little more effort, their Ministry of Military Industry would have definitely earned this money, but now it has benefited the foreigners.

Not long after the discussion here ended, the navy received the news and suddenly stopped working.

"Baga, that's not fair, that's not fair. Why does only the Army have it and our Navy doesn't?"

"Damn it! Absolutely not! If the Army has it, our Navy must have it. If the Army doesn't have it, our Navy must have it too!"

"Let's go find the Marshal!"

"..."

The navy clamored that they also wanted planes, and that they could not be given only to the army and not to the navy, as the navy was the backbone of the Empire of Japan.

For a moment, things that had been finalized smoothly were suddenly disrupted.

Originally, neither the Army Marshal nor the Navy Marshal was involved in this matter, but as the Navy protested, the Navy Marshal had no choice but to discuss it with the Army Marshals and then petition His Majesty the Emperor.

In order to balance the navy and the army, the Japanese emperor entrusted the Japanese prince with the task of increasing the purchase amount from 300 aircraft to 500.

The funding ratio became 40% for the Cabinet, 15% each for the Navy and the Army, and the remaining 30% was paid by His Majesty the Emperor.

When the news of this arms purchase spread, the Japanese military industry was in an uproar and many expressed their dissatisfaction, but the news was suppressed by Lieutenant General Noda and a group of senior naval and army officials.

There is no way. The impact of this failure is too bad. This foreign arms purchase can be regarded as a warning to those chaebols.

In addition to the warning, the Japanese army and navy joined forces to reshuffle and replace the military industry. Lieutenant General Noda also took this opportunity to seize the imperial sword and develop his own power.

Secret development is one thing, but the core is to do the job well, so he began to promote Mitsubishi's new fighter project, and by the way, he also finalized the other two models, and the three models were carried out simultaneously.

Naturally, this arms purchase could not be kept secret and was soon discovered by the Kuomintang government.

At this time, the national government had already sent a lieutenant general to Yuan County to deliver the commission of the Independent 1st Division to Chu Feng, so this news was also brought along and sent to Yuan County.
