Take Taobao to fight against Japan

As the head of state dispatched troops to the Soviet Union, World War II was pushed to its climax, and the world situation changed drastically in an instant.

When the news reached the United States, Roosevelt could no longer sit still.

On the same day, Roosevelt had his secretary of life wheel his wheelchair into the Capitol and delivered a speech to members of Congress before voting on the concession bill.

"Gentlemen, the claws of Germany have now extended to the Soviet Union, and the crisis in the United States has really come!"

"Gentlemen, please take a look at the world map. Now the whole world has been burned by war, and there is no more pure land!"

"With the Soviet Union alone, it is impossible to block the German steel chariot!"

"Once German tanks are allowed to crush the Soviet Union, they will cross the Bering Strait into Alaska, and then across Canada into the continental United States!"

"At that time, the Soviet Union has fallen, Britain has also fallen, and we will face the entire Axis alliance alone! The United States will inevitably be involved in this war, and it is impossible for the United States to be alone anymore .”

"Gentlemen, wake up, it's time to give up all unrealistic fantasies. It is impossible for the United States to maintain a detached position like the last world war!"

"So, the sooner you intervene in this battlefield, the better the situation will be for us!"

……

The United Kingdom and the United States are permanent allies, while Britain and France are allies. France has perished, and the United Kingdom cannot support itself. Britain has begun to get closer to the Soviet Union. The United States will naturally think that a friend of a friend is a friend, and vice versa is an enemy.

The Soviet-German war broke out in an all-round way, and Germany triumphed all the way with a destructive momentum. The United States, which was originally unwilling to participate in the war, and the United States, which wanted to make money from the war, could not sit still.

Roosevelt was eager to join the war immediately. Apart from the need to protect himself in the crisis of war, the main reason was that the time was ripe to join the war.

The outbreak of the Soviet-German War directly created three major conditions for the United States: First, the Soviet Union was involved in the war and had no worries;

The second is that Germany is weakened and the front line is further stretched;

The third is that the United Kingdom and France are completely down.At this time, the United States' action is tantamount to picking out the bag and picking the fruits of victory.

As a result, Roosevelt began to continuously build momentum in public opinion, repeatedly expressing his intention to join the war, and then directly sent troops to Europe and stationed in Iceland, ready to enter the war at any time.

As long as Germany attacks the U.S. troops in Iceland, the U.S. will immediately join the war, and at the same time begin to vigorously support Britain and the Soviet Union!

One stone caused a thousand waves. When Roosevelt was giving a speech in Congress, Hirohito also urgently called the military and political ministers to hold an imperial meeting.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Konoe Fumimaro, Kanin Gong Zaijin, Fushimi Gong Hiroshi, and other ministers who were qualified to participate in the imperial meeting all arrived.

Chapter 685 Ambitious

"My lords, the war has begun! God bless Yamato, Su De has finally started the war!"

Hirohito waved his fist and roared with a ferocious face, "The golden opportunity of the Great Japanese Empire has finally come!"

Seeing this, Foreign Minister Matsuoka Yosuke asked quickly: "Your Majesty, do you mean that the empire is going to declare war on the Soviet Union?"

The reason why Yosuke Matsuoka asked this question was because the German Foreign Ministry had just sent a note to Japan, asking Japan to follow Germany in officially declaring war on the Soviet Union in accordance with the agreement of the Triple Axis Alliance between Germany, Italy and Japan, and to attack the Soviet Union on both sides.

However, Hirohito waved his hand and said: "No, the current enemy of the empire is not the Soviet Union!"

"What His Majesty said is timely, the current enemy of the empire is not the Soviet Union!"

The old cloudy eyes of Xianyuan Gong Zairen suddenly revealed a fierce light: "The enemy of the empire is Huaxia! It's time for a nationwide mobilization to resolutely and completely destroy Huaxia!"

What Xianyuan Gong Zairen said was not because Yelang was arrogant and wanted to shake the tree, but revealed a very cruel fact.

The Sino-Japanese War broke out in an all-round way in 1937, and it has lasted for three full years. China lost nearly half of its territory, and most of China was burned red by the flames of war.

But Japan did not carry out general mobilization for war, and did not even enter the wartime system!

The so-called wartime system refers to the system formed by the country in all fields of military, politics, economy, culture, organization, system, production, life, management, etc. during the war, taking various measures to meet the needs of the war.

In other words, until now Japan's domestic social order is still operating according to the normal system, which is not at all like the normal order that has been disrupted in China long ago.

The national government has implemented a general mobilization for war, and everything is in the service of the war of resistance, and it is frantically recruiting strong men everywhere.

Once Japan conducts a general mobilization, once the entire country is transferred to a wartime system, it can explode five times or even ten times its energy in a short period of time.

Take a very simple example, such as the number of troops!

Since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the total number of Japanese troops stationed in China is only 160 million. If North Korea, Taiwan and the local army are included, the Japanese troops are less than 200 million.

But once it is fully mobilized, Japan can mobilize at least another 700 million troops!

Another example is military expenditure. In 1939, Japan's annual military expenditure was equivalent to US$19 billion.

But once it is transferred to a wartime system, Japan implements a nationwide rationing system to minimize expenditures in all aspects, and then concentrates most of its expenditures on the military, at least 100 billion US dollars can be mobilized.

In other words, if Japan switches to a wartime system and conducts a general war mobilization, at least five times more combat power can be erupted!

If all the combat power erupted from the general mobilization is used on the Huaxia battlefield, the final result will be absolutely disastrous!

It's just that the consequences of a full-scale violence will be very serious, and such an outbreak cannot be sustained.

In three years at most, Japan's national strength will be emptied and completely exhausted, and it will even become extremely weak for a long time.

Otherwise, according to the wolfish ambitions of the Japanese devils, they would never easily miss the great opportunity to completely destroy China.

"War mobilization is impossible. Unless the empire is facing a life-and-death threat, it will never be possible!"

Hirohito waved his hand and said: "The ultimate enemy of the empire is not China, but the United States! Just to conquer China and start a war mobilization, even if it wins, the empire will only gain more than it loses!"

After a pause, Hirohito shouted in an almost crazy tone: "From tomorrow onwards, we will switch to a wartime system, and implement a nationwide rationing system!

The empire must concentrate all its resources and prepare for a life-and-death battle with the United States! "

Hirohito's head is generally quite sober, knowing that even if he tries his best to eat China, the result will only put Japan in an extremely dangerous situation, and it may be wiped out by the Soviet Union or the United States at any time.

However, the impressive record of the German allies made him extremely jealous, and his ambition to dominate the Asia-Pacific and carve up the world rapidly expanded.

At the same time, the Japanese war machine has been activated at full speed, and Hirohito has no other choice but to continue to absorb more war resources and stimulate greater war potential.

"Hay!"

The military and political officials all knelt and sat up, ordering the leader Yu Rendun. Yu Rendun had already said this, and they had nothing else to say except absolute obedience!

Hirohito's eyes were fixed, he glanced at the ministers present and asked in a deep voice: "Do you have anything else to say?"

Konoe Fumimaro bit his lip, hesitated for a while and said bravely, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"Mr. Konoe, please speak if you have something to say."

Hirohito's eyes immediately turned cold. Before Konoe Fummaro opened his mouth, he knew what the other party wanted to say, but at this time, he couldn't stop Konoe Fummaro's mouth.

Konoe Fumimaro organized his language, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, since the Meiji Restoration, although the industry of the empire has made great progress, its national strength has also increased many times.

But fundamentally speaking, the industrial foundation of the empire is still very weak, far inferior to that of Western powers, especially compared to the United States.

Since independence, the United States has been developing for nearly 200 years, especially the World War 30 years ago, which established the status of the United States as the number one industrial power! "

After a pause, Konoe Fumimaro continued: "Once the US war machine is fully activated, they can produce 10,000 combat aircraft, 10,000+ tanks, [-]+ cannons, and thousands of warships a year!

Just thinking about this scene makes me shudder!

In the face of such an industrial powerhouse, does the empire really have a chance to win?

I don't know what you guys think, anyway, I really don't have confidence in it.

It is absolutely no problem for the empire to expand to Southeast Asia with all its strength, but the time to start a war with the United States is far from ripe. I personally firmly oppose going to war with the United States, at least not at this stage! "

Xianyuan Gong Zairen nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I agree with Konoe-kun. It is really difficult for the empire to defeat the United States. Without sufficient preparation money, it is best not to provoke the United States."

"Yes, the United States is far away from the Eurasian battlefield. So far, it has adhered to its neutral position and has not shown much hostility to the empire. There is really no need for the empire to provoke the United States!"

"I also think it is very irrational to go to war with the United States, and we should be cautious!"

Driven by this wave of rhythm, Minister of Internal Affairs Kiichiro Hiranuma, Minister of the Navy Yoshida Zengo and others also nodded in agreement.

These old devils are not stupid, they know how much they weigh.

Now it has taken a lot of effort, and even China, which is weak in national strength and has endless civil strife, can't handle it. If it fights with the United States at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Hirohito, who was in high spirits, was extremely upset when he heard these harsh and depressing words, and his face became darker and darker.

Taking a deep breath, Hirohito gave Tojo a wink.

Chapter 686

"With all due respect, you guys are wishful thinking!"

Hideki Tojo got up immediately and said: "Since the moment when the German ally attacked the Soviet Union, the situation in the world today has become clear.

The Americans cannot continue to sit idly by, to remain neutral, and sooner or later they will go to war.

The interests of the empire and the United States have formed a serious conflict. The Americans have taken up the butcher knife and imposed economic sanctions on the empire. First, they included aviation gasoline and high-melting point scrap steel under export control, and now they prohibit the export of scrap metal to the empire.

Now the Americans are still using crude oil imports as a threat in an attempt to bend the empire to their will. Don't these measures explain the problem? "

After a pause, Hideki Tojo's voice suddenly increased a few degrees: "The United States has not shown hostility to the empire now, who can guarantee that it will not show hostility in the future?

If we don't declare war on the United States now, do we wait for the United States to prepare for it in the future and wait for them to go to war?

"Once the war starts, it's important to be first. I don't need to say more? The industrial strength of the United States is stronger than that of the empire. Once the United States is ready, do you think the empire will still have a chance to win?"

"Since the empire and the United States will eventually go to war, it is necessary to start the war as soon as possible! It is best to quickly capture Southeast Asia to seize the oil fields and get rid of the Americans' control over the empire's crude oil."

……

Hideki Tojo spoke eloquently. Although the main purpose was to advocate the "Southern Advance" to expand aggression, it was not all nonsense.

With the establishment of the Triple Alliance of Germany, Italy and Japan and the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, Japan has stood on the opposite side of the United States. The conflict of interests between the two has been irreconcilable, and the hostility with the United States has become a foregone conclusion.

"What Tojo-kun said is very true, this is the real consideration for the empire!"

Hirohito frowned and clapped his hands, then turned to look at Konoe Fumimaro and said: "Since the full-scale war with China, the Great Japanese Empire has no way out, and the Yamato nation can only create a great cause that the Yamato nation has never seen before.

As important ministers of the Great Japanese Empire, you must work together at this critical moment in history!

If the only thing in your mind is to preserve your personal reputation, and you are indecisive and afraid of taking responsibility for possible failure, it is better to abdicate as soon as possible! "

After these words, Fumimaro Konoe blushed, he couldn't understand the meaning of Hirohito's words, he was obviously very dissatisfied with him, and even thought of reorganizing the cabinet.

It has only been two months since the second cabinet formation, Konoe Fumimaro's buttocks are still hot, and there are still many ideas in his heart that have not been realized, so naturally he is very reluctant to be the prime minister.

But Hirohito has already said so, Fumimaro Konoe really has no choice.

Taking a deep breath, Konoe Fumimaro sat up on his knees and said with a dark face: "Since this is the case, I can only resign."

Hirohito waved without any hesitation and said, "I approve!"

Before Konoe Fumimaro answered, Hirohito turned his head to Hideki Tojo and said: "Mr. Tojo, I order you to immediately start forming a wartime cabinet, immediately start to transfer to the wartime system, and prepare for all matters of war against the United States!"

"Hay!"

Hideki Tojo was elated, finally looking forward to this day.

After the meeting was adjourned, Hirohito left Hideki Tojo on purpose and asked, "Mr. Tojo, do you think it is necessary to resolve the Shandong war before the empire goes south?"

Hideki Tojo pondered for a while and said: "I think this whetstone can be used to train troops, but at present, before the air force is not strong enough, it is not appropriate to consume too much!"

"Fuck!"

Yuren nodded silently.

……

"Damn it, this really caught people off guard!"

As soon as he heard that Germany blitzed the Soviet Union and the Soviet-German war officially broke out, it didn't take long to hear Konoe Fumimaro's resignation on Devil Radio, and Hideki Tojo came to power to form a cabinet, and Yang Fan was stunned!

The Soviet-German War was advanced by 9 months, and Hideki Tojo's appearance was advanced by 13 months. This is really a bit fierce!

It is obvious that the butterfly effect is getting stronger and stronger, and the entire historical trend has undergone a major shift, and it is no longer the time and space that Yang Fan is familiar with.

In other words, many things will no longer develop according to the original historical track, and the advantages of the prophets will be greatly weakened.

"Wow ~ wow ~ wow ~"

Mr. Yang held the information in his hand and was still thinking about it, when there was a loud cry of a baby in the delivery room of the hospital.

Yang Fan quickly stuffed the information into his pocket and walked quickly to the delivery room.

At this time, a beautiful nurse wearing a mask pushed open the door with a breezy face, hugged a baby and shouted congratulations to Yang Fan: "Congratulations, sir, congratulations, sir, for your precious son! Weighing six catties and six taels! "

Wu Juan was pregnant for ten months, and it finally came to fruition. She lived up to everyone's expectations and gave birth to a fat boy who weighed six catties.

"Haha, God is merciful, the Wu family finally has a descendant!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

The father-in-law Wu Rongbang and the mother-in-law Gao Qinzhen were so happy that they were going crazy. Before Yang Fan could take a look at their own son, the old couple rushed to embrace him.
