    Hirohito frowned and said: "It's just Myanmar, how important is it?"

    "Yes, Myanmar's status is very important!" Hideki Tojo said with emphasis, "Because the Soviet Union is now unable to take care of itself under the fierce attack of the German army, so now Myanmar has actually become China's contact with the outside world.  It¡¯s the only channel through China. If China wants to get aid from the United States, it must go through Burma!¡±

    Hirohito said: "But the problem now is that the price of seizing Myanmar is very high! It is very likely to exceed the total cost of resolving the China incident!"

    "This" Tojo Hideki was speechless.

    Because Hirohito proposed a brand new idea.

    Originally, according to the idea of ??the Japanese military base camp, there was a long-term national plan.

    This plan is like this. The first step is to annex and digest Manchuria. After digesting Manchuria, they will gradually encroach on China. When they have finished encroaching on China, they will then rely on China's vast land, huge population and massive resources to compete with the Western powers for hegemony, and then finally  Seize hegemony over the entire world!

    But now, Manchuria has not been completely digested, and China has only eaten less than half of it. It has already started a war with the Western powers led by the United States. Now the entire national plan has been completely disrupted, so another issue quickly came to the table.  , that is, should we still cannibalize China as envisaged in the national plan?

    Hirohito said: "In my opinion, since the leader of the China government, Chang Kaishen, intends to deal with the armed forces of the Communist Party of China first, then we might as well adopt an appeasement policy in China, which is to use the existing line of actual control to reach a tacit military agreement and confrontation with China.  Then encourage the China government forces to engage in friction with the Communist Eighth Route Army, so that the imperial army can withdraw a large number of troops from China and devote them to battlefields in other directions, such as landing in North America and prioritizing the United States."

    Hirohito is not talking nonsense. After the Japanese army and navy achieved unprecedented victory in the Pacific War, there was indeed a voice in Japan that believed that the Japanese army, navy and air force should take advantage of the victory to pursue the victory and use the Hawaiian Islands as a springboard to the west coast of the United States.  Launch cross-sea operations.

    The United States will eventually have to solve this problem.

    So it¡¯s better to solve it as soon as possible.

    Because the longer the time drags on, the more complete the transformation of the United States' comprehensive national power into war capabilities will be, the greater the gap in war resources between Japan and the United States, and the more unfavorable the situation will be for Japan!

    Therefore, striking first and gaining the upper hand has the upper hand in the Japanese military.

    ¡°However, Tojo Hideki firmly opposed this statement.

    "Your Majesty!" Hideki Tojo continued to persuade him earnestly, "The cross-sea expedition to the United States is by no means a simple matter, and it cannot be completed in a short time. At this time, stability in the rear is particularly needed. The entire East Asia serves as the rear of the empire.  , its stability is particularly important, and the most important thing is that China must be stable!"

    "Although Chang Kaishen is now more focused on causing friction with the CCP, no one can guarantee that he will not attack the imperial army."

    "Actually, even if Chang Kaishen is content with the status quo and will not actively provoke the imperial army, what about his senior generals?"

    ¡°For example, Yu Liangzhen, the commander of the Zhejiang and Fujian war zones, Xue Yue, the commander of the 9th war zone, and especially Zhong Yi, the commander of the Burmese war zone, will they be consistent with Chang Kaishen?¡±

    "I can't guarantee anything else, but Zhong Yi will never be consistent with Chang Kaishen."

    "Zhong Yi's Burmese theater, even if the imperial army does not attack him, he will definitely attack on his own initiative."

    "At that time, there will be such an unfavorable situation. The empire's main military strength is contained in the North American battlefield, while the troops in the Chinese battlefield and the Southeast Asian battlefield are extremely empty. At this time, if Zhong Yi and other commanders of various theaters counterattack, the empire will  The army will be in an extremely disadvantageous situation!"

    Hirohito was not convinced, and frowned and said: "But now on the one hand, we have to prepare for war with the United States, and on the other hand, we have to invest more troops in the battlefield of Burma. Isn't the situation of the empire even more unfavorable?"

    "Therefore, I believe that sending troops to North America should not be too hasty." Tojo Hideki said, "We should first occupy Burma, completely block China's communication channels with the outside world, and then force China to surrender, and then gather all the war resources in East Asia to fight with the United States.  The final decisive battle, only in this way can the empire have any hope of winning."

    Hirohito said: "But the problem is, the war is bound to be protracted! With the empire's manpower, material resources and industrial strength, I'm afraid it won't be able to last that long!"

    "No, the empire can persist." Tojo Hideki said decisively, "And in fact, once the encroachment of China is successful, the empire's manpower, material resources and industrial strength will be completely transformed.With the improvement of bones, wouldn't the chance of winning be greater by then?  So why rush to a decisive battle with the United States?  "

    Hirohito said: "But if it drags on, the United States may counterattack!"

    "No!" Tojo Hideki said, "The core interests of the United States have always been in Europe, so even if they counterattack, they will definitely counterattack Europe first, not Asia! What's more, as long as the combined naval fleet still controls the sea in the Pacific  , and then seize the Australian mainland. Even if the United States wants to counterattack, it can¡¯t find an advance base!¡±

    "So" Hirohito was finally convinced, "Send more troops to Burma?"

    "Yes, we will increase our troops to Burma!" Tojo Hideki nodded and said, "And we will increase our troops massively!"

    "Okay, let's increase the troops." Hirohito breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How many troops do you think should be added?"

    "I think that at least four more divisions should be added!" Tojo Hideki said in a deep voice with a fierce look in his eyes.

    "Nani? Add at least four more divisions?" Hirohito said in astonishment, "In this way, Ishihara-kun's 25th Army now has eight divisions. Will the strength be too bloated?"

    "So, a separate Myanmar Front Army can be formed." Tojo Hideki said in a deep voice, "The level is the same as that of the North China Front Army, lower than the Kwantung Army, the Southern Army and other general armies, and higher than the Army. Except for Ishihara's 25th Army,  The four additional divisions can be separately organized into the 27th Army, and then combined into the Burmese Front Army."

    "Okay." Hirohito nodded, and then said, "Ishihara-kun will be the commander of the Burmese Front Army. So, does Tojo-kun have a suitable candidate for the commander of the newly formed 27th Army?"

    Hearing this, Tojo Hideki felt like he had eaten a fly. If his original intention was to follow, of course, it would be better to remove Ishihara Kanji and recall him to the country for idleness. But since Hirohito had already said it, he could not insist on opposing it.

    At the moment, Tojo Hideki said dullly: "North China Front Army Chief of Staff Adachi Twenty-san has excellent abilities and sufficient qualifications. He is fully qualified to serve as the commander of the 27th Army."

    "Yo Xi." Hirohito nodded happily.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
