MTL - Jagged Germany-Chapter 1776 Local decisive battle (ask for monthly ticket)
With the collapse of the Southern Army, the entire Nanyang once again fell into the hands of the German army. This also means that all the benefits gained by the island army after participating in the war are lost. Moreover, it also paid a huge price.
Since the start of the war, the army of the island country has lost more than three million troops. At the same time, the navy of the island country has also been involved. The current island navy has lost all its capital ships and aircraft carriers. Although, there are still a large number of unfinished warships under construction in the shipyard of the island navy. But unfortunately, the island country no longer has enough resources to build these warships. Especially after losing the Indonesian and Philippine archipelagos, the island countries can no longer obtain resources from Southeast Asia.
Of course, the island government also stored some resources before. However, what is the point of investing those resources in the construction of warships now? Even if the navy of the island country has some capital ships and aircraft carriers again, it may not be able to compete with the German navy at all! Instead of this, it is better to invest all the remaining resources in the construction of guns and ammunition that the Army urgently needs. In this case, the island country government can form more troops on the mainland, and maybe it can withstand the German attack and keep the island country.
In the Prime Minister's Office of the island country, Prime Minister Hideki Tojo once again summoned the important ministers of the island's cabinet to discuss the current situation. However, the current situation is undoubtedly very obvious. In this war, the island country has already lost a complete defeat. After the combined fleet and the southern army were destroyed one after another, the next step of the German army must be to launch an attack on the mainland of the island country.
"My lords, the empire is now at a critical moment of life and death. Our enemies are gathering, and they will undoubtedly launch an attack on our homeland in the next step. If we want to keep the empire, we must resist the Germans' attack. .Otherwise, the empire will be completely over." Prime Minister Hideki Tojo said.
Other island cabinet ministers nodded one after another, and of course they are aware of the situation. However, they also know that it is undoubtedly very difficult to resist the German attack and allow the island country to continue to exist. The current posture of the German army is obviously going to destroy the island country in one fell swoop! Moreover, judging from the combat effectiveness displayed by the German army, the Germans can completely do this.
"Has the expansion of the army been completed?" Prime Minister Hideki Tojo asked.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the expansion of the army has been completed. We have once again recruited five million troops. However, we have not been able to equip these troops yet. Because of the lack of resources, we can't even do it with a single rifle!" Sugiyama General Yuan said with a bitter face.
"Shimada-kun, temporarily hand over the resources used by the navy to build warships to the army. What do you think? Wait until we resist the German attack and keep the empire, and then return these resources to the navy." Tojo Hideo The chief of the aircraft said to Admiral Shigetaro Shimada.
General Shimoda Shigetaro nodded, and he also knew that the most important thing now is undoubtedly to resist the German attack. As for the rest, you can put it off for a while. If the island countries can't keep it, the navy of the island countries will naturally have no future.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, let you arrange it!" General Shimoda Shigetaro said.
Prime Minister Hideki Tojo nodded: "Gentlemen, now we need to arm the army with all our strength and try to resist the German attack in the next battle. Only by resisting the German attack can our country continue to exist. !"
"Hi, Your Excellency Prime Minister!" The ministers of the island's cabinet said one after another.
After the cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Hideki Tojo left General Sugiyama Gendai on.
"How is our army preparing? Has the morale of the troops been affected?" Hideki Tojo asked.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the troops are almost ready. At least the personnel are already in place. We will try our best to equip more weapons and equipment. As for morale, because the navy and the southern army have been destroyed one after another, if we want to hide it, that is Impossible. Therefore, the morale of the troops will inevitably be affected. However, when the country is facing a life-and-death crisis, the warriors of the empire can still muster the courage to fight the enemy to the end! This, I can Guaranteed, please rest assured, Prime Minister. Once the Germans dare to attack our homeland, we will definitely let them see the courage of the imperial warriors." General Sugiyama Moto said.
Prime Minister Hideki Tojo's complexion improved a bit. Indeed, the island nation is completely at a disadvantage now. If they want to compete with the powerful Germany, they have almost no chance of winning. However, Hideki Tojo believes that once the German army faces the attack of millions of angry Japanese armies, even if it can win, it will inevitably pay a heavy price. In this case, the island country may be able to gain a chance to keep the island country by virtue of this.
"Where are the civilians? Have they mobilized yet?" Hideki Tojo asked.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, we are already starting to mobilize the people. All the people are ready. Although they have no weapons and equipment, they can fight the Germans with bamboo knives and bamboo spears. Even the warriors among them can also embrace the Germans." We will die with the Germans with grenades and explosives. I believe that once the Germans attack our homeland, they will find that they have fallen into a quagmire of war. At that time, the Germans will definitely regret it. And our purpose, It can definitely be realized." General Sugiyama Moto seemed very confident.
Hideki Tojo nodded: "In this case, it would be great. We are ready for a decisive battle with the Germans on the mainland. And we believe that we will be able to withstand the German attack. The empire will not We were destroyed in this way. We will definitely be able to survive this crisis. This time we failed to defeat the Germans, but in the future, we may not have no chance!"
"Hi, Your Excellency Prime Minister!" General Sugiyama Moto replied.
In this war, the failure of the island country is inevitable. However, they won't give up on it. As long as they can keep the island country, they will wait for the next opportunity. The islanders also believe that they will not fail again next time.
When the island nation was at a critical moment of life and death, Emperor Hirohito of the island nation also made a speech on the radio, calling on all islanders to take up arms and prepare to resist the enemy's attack.
I have to admit that the emperor has huge influence in the island country. Even though the island nation is about to lose now, tens of millions of island nation people are in a frenzy after Hirohito came forward. They were ready to fend off the Germans.
