"Extra! Extra! The Allies completed the epic Normandy landing!"

"The Allies successfully opened up the second battlefield in Europe, and the end of Nazi Germany has arrived!"

"Good news! Good news! The Chinese tiger and powerful soldiers show their skills in the European battlefield and show their prestige of China!"

"The Great Victory of Hagia Sovo! The Allies are in a state of power!"

As the Allied landing forces continued to spread, exciting good news was transmitted to every corner of the world through beams of radio waves.

All newspapers and radio stations in China are rushing to print newspapers and magazines, and they will take turns to broadcast these good news. The Chinese people are once again inspired and set off a new wave of war of resistance.

At this time, the battlefield in China was full of smoke. The "Operation No. 1" launched by the Japanese army had been fully launched, and many provinces were engaged in extremely fierce military wars.

Among them, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi and Guangdong were the most intense. The Japanese army used millions of troops to try to open up mainland transportation lines to strengthen the connection between the Japanese army in mainland China and the Japanese army in the South China Sea, while destroying the major air force bases of the US military in central China and South China, and taking advantage of the situation to eliminate the main force of the National Government's military.

However, it is still the old saying "Ideals are full of reality and skinny". Although the Japanese army gathered heavy troops and used a large number of new technical equipment, the preliminary preparations were also done well.

But at this time, the Chinese army was no longer the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan. It had already turned into motorcycles, its weapons and equipment were greatly strengthened, and its combat effectiveness was improved by several levels.

Imperial Palace in Tokyo.

"Why are you not talking anymore?"

"Are you just waiting to die like this?"

"The German allies are at a loss. Will the Japanese Empire also follow suit and go to perish?"

"Baga! Will the dreams of the Great Japanese Empire and the Yamato nation be so ruthlessly shattered for thousands of years?"

Hirohito looked at the military and political ministers in front of him with a dark face, constantly roaring angry and venting his inner anger, dissatisfaction, and panic.

Over the past few days, there have been all kinds of bad news. The South Pacific battlefield and the Central Pacific battlefield have been retreating step by step, constantly losing defense island chains, and the three navy, army and air force have been constantly losing troops.

The "No. 1 Battle" carried out on the Chinese battlefield has been struggling now. After more than two months of fighting, except for countless casualties, it was impossible to achieve the expected combat results.

Now the Papua Peninsula and the Mariana Islands are still suffering from large-scale attacks by the Allied forces, especially Saipan is suffering from fierce artillery fire preparations from the Allied forces.

As the Allies were about to land on Saipan, Hirohito had an extremely strong crisis of destruction.

Situated in the Mariana Islands, Saipan is a small land with an area of ​​120 square kilometers. However, it has strangled the throat of the North and South Pacific Oceans and has always been a battleground for military strategists.

It is the pivot from the United States to the east, to Southeast Asia to the west, to Indonesia to the south, to the Philippines to the north, and to Japan, which plays an extremely important military role.

In the early days of World War I, Japan seized Saipan without much battle, and since then it has regarded it as its strategic point. On the one hand, they planted a large amount of sugar cane here in order to maintain sugar production and supply it to the country.

On the other hand, it is also a military base, which Japan calls it a non-sinking aircraft carrier. On the small island of Saipan, it has all kinds of airports, ports and fortifications, and it is like a military fortress.

Before the war, Japan deployed nearly 30,000 troops and 15,000 navy troops on Saipan Island. The 31st Army Command was also deployed here, and also deployed the First Air Force to provide air power.

At the beginning of the war, the Japanese army launched an attack from here, and it was also an important barrier for them to protect their homeland in the central Pacific.

As for the Allies, once they occupy Saipan, they can use Saipan as a base to shorten the distance between Allied bombers and Japan, and tore open the barriers on which Japan relies on to ensure local security.

The US military plans to avoid the Carolina Islands and Palau Islands to capture the Mariana Islands, so that the passages between the Japanese and Japanese troops to the south and west will be cut off.

Forces in Southeast Asia cannot obtain ammunition supplies, and local troops cannot obtain oil and minerals from Southeast Asia.

The new US B-29 bomber can take off from Mariana and fly over 2,400 kilometers, directly attack Japan's mainland to launch strategic bombing.

For this operation, the manpower and material resources invested by the US military were no less than that of Normandy. It is obvious that this is the largest counterattack operation of the US military in the Pacific, and it also symbolizes that the US military officially began a counterattack in the Pacific.

On the same day when the Allies launched Operation Overlord, on June 5, 1944, the US Expeditionary Fleet left Pearl Harbor, where the war broke out, and the huge fleet almost filled the sea.

If the Normandy Landing was the largest amphibious landing operation in history, then the expeditionary fleet is undoubtedly the largest fleet in the world at present.

The entire fleet was divided into two, among which the troops attacking Saipan had 7 battleships, 11 escort aircraft carriers, 11 aircraft carriers, 11 cruisers, 67 fleet destroyers, 282 other ships and auxiliary ships. The US ground forces used for landing operations had as many as 71,034 people.

Such a huge fleet is unimaginable for the Japanese army. Because Japan itself does not have such a huge fleet, the once powerful joint fleet is already a thing of the past, and it is almost impossible to stop such a fleet.

"Oh! If I had known this, why would it be today? If I had known that it would be the situation today, the Great Japanese Empire should have taken the victory to pursue the victory and cooperate with the German allies to destroy the Soviet Union!"

The Allies successfully landed in Normandy and opened up the second battlefield in Europe, which meant that Germany would be attacked on both sides and its demise was just around the corner.

Once the powerful Third Reich collapses, the Axis Alliance, which has been disintegrated once, will completely fall apart.

As the saying goes, it is hard to support one's own way, then the anti-fascist alliance forces around the world will be concentrated on the Japanese Empire. At that time, it is natural to say what the Japanese Empire will end.

Thinking of this, Hirohito felt a sadness of a rabbit and a fox that hurt his creatures, and then he couldn't help but start to regret it deeply.

I regretted that I shouldn’t have made small plans and shouldn’t have tried to reap the benefits of the fisherman, so that the Soviet Union lived on the verge of death, and in just two years it grew into an extremely terrifying red giant, becoming a powerful gravedigger of the Axis Alliance!

Just as Hirohito sighed, Prime Minister Tojo drooped his head half-deadly, lowered his head and kept silent, his face extremely ugly, and he was no longer as arrogant as before and "full of pearls".

All I have is deep depression and sadness at the end of my journey!

With Japan's repeated heavy blows in the naval battle with the United States and the failure of "War One", there are already many contradictions in Japan and the people have experienced great panic, which has triggered a wave of fierce opposition.

As the initiator, Tojo is naturally the first to be the one. Not only was the emperor very dissatisfied with him, but the people were also strongly demanding that he resign and replace him with a cabinet prime minister who could change the status quo.

Tojo is very clear that as long as the situation worsens a little, such as the occupation of Saipan and the loss of the Papua Peninsula, etc., the anger of the military and civilians will be irresistible. At that time, he will have no choice but to resign and step down and accept punishment.
