Jagged Germany

"This time we are going to war against Germany, and it is undoubtedly the most appropriate to adopt the method of undeclared war. In this way, it may create an opportunity for the combined fleet. Otherwise, if we confront the German Navy head-on, we will be very It’s hard to have a chance to defeat them, at most it will hurt both of them.” Said Admiral Yong Ye Xiushen, head of naval command.

   Undeclared war is despicable, but if it can be used to win the war, then there is nothing to say. After all, the first goal of the island nation in this war is to win the war. As long as you can win the war and win the final victory, even if you bear infamy, it is worth it. Because history will be written by the victors.

   Konoe Fumimaro and others nodded repeatedly, and it was nothing to them to bear a little infamy. What they hope is to win the war.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, it is already January 25th, and this month will end in a few days. The combined fleet plans to go to sea in three days to find opportunities for combat. Anyway, we have not declared war with Germany. Therefore, even if we are It’s no big deal if the Germans find out. As long as the Germans don’t get caught in the door, they won’t take the initiative to attack us. After all, the main target of the Germans is still on Russia. If this is the case, our chances of winning will be much greater." Said Minister Mitsumasa Minai.

   "Yes! According to our agreement with the Americans, as long as the combined fleet leaves the port, we will be considered to have started the battle against the Germans. For the Americans, we have an explanation." Fumimaro Konoe said.

   "Yamamoto-kun, the rise and fall of the empire this time is in your hands. I hope you can win a victory for us!" Konoe Fumimaro said.

   "Hey, Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I will do my best to defeat the Germans!" General Yamamoto Fifty-Six nodded heavily.

   "If the navy can win, can the army launch an attack on Nanyang and Australia to seize these two important colonies?" Konoe Wenmaro asked. Compared with the decisive battle between the navy and the German navy, Fumimaro Konoe is obviously more interested in capturing Southeast Asia and Australia. After all, according to the agreement they reached with the Americans, once Germany is defeated, Nanyang can be directly incorporated into the territory of the island country. Australia will also be their colony. For the island governments who covet fertile overseas territories, this undoubtedly makes them very excited.

"Your Excellency, the army has mobilized one hundred divisions. We will form a powerful southern army with a strength of up to fifty divisions. The southern army will take the lead in attacking Nanyang and defeat the German troops stationed there before attacking Australia. In this way, the Germans can be wiped out separately, thereby further reducing our casualties. Of course, the premise is that the navy must be able to gain control of the sea, and no matter how bad it is, we must ensure the safety of our sea transportation lines. Otherwise, the army will have no There is a way to swim across the vast ocean and land in Southeast Asia or Australia!" said Prince Hanin Gongzaiin, Chief of Staff of the Army.

   Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe nodded. Compared with the navy, the army has a better chance of winning. After all, judging from the information obtained, there are not many German troops in Southeast Asia and Australia, and there are only more than 800,000 troops in total. The Japanese army has now mobilized one hundred divisions, which is already more than two million troops. If another 100 divisions can be mobilized, the strength can be doubled. With such a large force advantage, it should be very easy to defeat the German army in Southeast Asia and Australia.

   "Masters, the future of the empire depends on you. I believe that Amaterasu will bless us. Emperor Meiji is also waiting for the news of our victory." Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro said.

  Although it is the time when Emperor Hirohito is in power, the power of the country is in the hands of the cabinet, and the emperor is just a mascot. Compared with Emperor Hirohito, Emperor Meiji, who initiated the Meiji Restoration, is undoubtedly more loved by these ministers.

   "The empire will win!" Everyone said firmly. With the country's destiny at stake, the island nation has no way out. If they win, they will go to glory. If it fails, what awaits the island nation will inevitably perish. Therefore, they have no other choice but to do their best.

  After the meeting, the three chiefs of the navy of the island country all went to the Ministry of the Navy. As the first force of the island country to participate in this war, the navy of the island country can imagine the pressure it has endured. If they cannot win, this will directly affect the subsequent army operations. Therefore, the Japanese navy is also very eager to win.

"Yamamoto-kun, you are under a lot of pressure now! If you can win a big victory, you will become a hero of the empire, and you will be promoted to marshal, and it will be a matter of course. But if you fail, not only you, the imperial navy and even the entire empire, I am afraid They will all fall into a place of eternal doom!" Minai Mitsumasa said with a serious face.

   "Yes, Yamamoto-kun. It's up to you!" General Nagano Slim also said.

"Minei-kun, Nagano-kun, I know. It's just that our enemy is too powerful. So, this time we are taking a risk. If we can wait until the war between the Germans and the Americans breaks out before we join the war, then we The odds of winning are much greater." General Yamamoto Fifty-Six said helplessly.

   Minai Mitsumasa and Nagano Slim smiled bitterly. How could the Americans allow the island country to join the war later? Otherwise, wouldn't the support they have provided to the island country over the years be wasted?

   "Now we have no choice at all, we can only listen to the orders of the Americans. If we can win this battle, we will be able to control our own destiny." Minai Mitsumasa said.

   "I know, and I firmly believe that this day will definitely come!" General Yamamoto Fifty-Six said. He knows that it is very difficult to win, but he can only go all out.

   On the night of January 28, 1940, the main force of the combined naval fleet of the island country, including 16 capital ships and eight aircraft carriers, secretly left the Sasebo Naval Port in the south of the island country and sailed into the Pacific Ocean.

  This also means that the island country has officially participated in this war. Although, the island nation did not declare war on Germany. But in fact, they are ready to fight. And once a fighter is found, an attack will be launched immediately, trying to use this method to gain a slight advantage for them. As for the condemnation of the international community, they simply don't care.
