After Tojo Hideki and Ionumanumanum Zairen took their seats, Hirohito briefly introduced the situation and then asked: "Uncle Emperor, Tojo, I really want to know what you think!"

Hideki Tojo glanced at Zairen Miya and said first: "I think Nishio Kwan and Okamura Kwan's advice on going south is very good, and pointed out the opportunities and challenges that the Great Japanese Empire will face incisively.

As Okamura Jun said, in the past three years of war against China, although the empire spent a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, an elite army with a population of up to two million.

In addition to the Imperial Combined Fleet and a powerful air force that is about to have more than 7,000 combat aircraft, with such a huge armament, the Empire can sweep the entire Southeast Asia without any effort and wipe out the Western armies of Luzon, Vietnam and Malaysia!”

Hirohito nodded and smiled, "That's right, the Western army in Southeast Asia has not experienced war for a long time, and is completely incomparable to the elite army of the Empire!"

"Um!"

Nodding, Hideki Tojo then said: "If there is such an offensive line, however, the Empire will face its true ultimate opponent, the United States.

The United States is the real industrial power in the world today, and its industrial manufacturing capabilities exceed that of Germany, Britain and the empire.

If this huge war machine is activated with all its might, the United States may produce more than 100,000 combat aircraft, hundreds of thousands of tanks, and millions of cannons within one year.

There are dozens, or even hundreds of aircraft carriers, as for destroyers, cruisers, etc., and they can be described as dumplings!"

Hirohito's face changed slightly and he nodded, "This is what I am most worried about, but at present, the empire has no other choice, because the United States will attack the empire sooner or later!"

"What His Majesty the Emperor said is extremely true! But tanks, aircraft, and warships cannot be converted into force when they are produced, especially the growth of pilots and sailors will take a certain amount of time!"

Hideki Tojo said with a fierce look on his eyes: "So we cannot give the United States this development time. Before attacking Southeast Asia, we must first solve the US Pacific Fleet stationed in Pearl Harbor.

Then take the opportunity to seize Australia, Midway Island, and Hawaii Island, completely destroy the US Navy's foothold in the Pacific, and the empire will be invincible!"

Hirohito smiled again and said, "That's right, as long as the first wave of attacks can destroy the main force of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet, and the Imperial Navy can completely control the entire Western Pacific.

Once Australia, Midway Island, and Hawaii are further occupied, then the entire Pacific Ocean can be controlled, and the US Army will be blocked and cannot be released."

At this time, Zairen, the Japanese Empire could use Hawaii as a fulcrum to launch continuous harassment and bombardment of heavy industrial cities and ports on the west coast of the United States.

This will definitely seriously weaken the capabilities of the US industrial students, severely sluggish the US Navy, restore the combat power of the Air Force, and create a better war environment for the great Japanese Empire!”

"What the Prince said is that as long as the war will burn to the United States, it will cause serious damage to its production and industrial system."

Hideki Tojo nodded and said, "One rises and the other falls, the United States will become weaker and weaker, and the empire will only become stronger and stronger!

If this situation can be maintained, the United States will be completely defeated within ten years, and the Great Japanese Empire will forever be eliminated!"

"Soga! If Germany and the Soviet Union both suffer losses, it will be even more wonderful. The Great Japanese Empire will surely become the global hegemon, and the Yamato nation will usher in an unprecedented prosperous era!"

Hirohito breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing these words, he felt more and more that the great cause of the Japanese Empire was about to be realized in his hands and he would eventually become a generation of emperors who have been famous in history.

After pausing, Hirohito continued to ask: "What do you think about Nishio-kun and Okamura-kun insisting on launching a general attack on the Shandong Peninsula?"

Xianyuan Gong Zairen said, "I have always believed that the Chinese Tiger Army is a very dangerous enemy. The Shandong Peninsula they now occupy has posed a great obstacle and threat to the empire. It would be best if it could be eradicated as soon as possible.

Once the Hu Ben Army is resolved, it will be a great blow to the overall morale and confidence of China's war of resistance, and perhaps the Chinese War will have a major turning point.

If the Chinese war is completely resolved, the Japanese Empire will surely be invincible!"

Hirohito frowned slightly, turned to look at Hideki Tojo and said, "Tojo, tell me what you think!"

After a brief thought, Hideki Tojo said, "What the Prince's words are very reasonable. During the decisive battle between the Empire and the United States, China will definitely carry out comprehensive cooperation with the United States.

If China continues to obtain supplies from the United States, then the empire will be in trouble!"

Hirohito asked: "How could China get military assistance after the United States and China are separated by the Pacific Ocean. After the Japanese Empire control the Pacific Ocean?"

Hideki Tojo explained: "Your Majesty, it is useless to block the Pacific Ocean, because the US aid can also enter India and Myanmar from the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and finally enter China through the Yunnan-Burma Highway."

"I understand, that is, Myanmar will be extremely important!"

Hirohito nodded, waved his fist viciously and said, "Since that's the case, after the empire launched an attack on the United States, Myanmar must carry out military occupation as soon as possible, and must cut off China's foreign aid route!"

"His Majesty the Emperor is wise!"

Hideki Tojo nodded and then said, "At least half a year, the empire will start a war against the United States. The empire can only win all this war and must not lose any losses.

Therefore, I believe that the Empire should now stop all large-scale military operations and make every effort to prepare for war around the attack on the United States. It is really not advisable to consume too much!

Although Yang Fan is dangerous and hateful, as long as he continues to maintain warlord separatism and does not connect with the National Government and the Eighth Route Army, there will be no great danger.

When the empire is freed from now on, it can crush it with the force of Mount Tai to crush it!"

"Yo Xi!"

Hirohito smiled and said with a heavy emphasis: "The lion also uses all his strength to fight against the rabbit, not to mention that the empire is facing the world's largest industrial power. We must concentrate all our strength!

Uncle Emperor, what do you think?"

"There is priority, then stop!"

Which end is heavy and which end is light, Xianyuan Gong Zairen can naturally be clear. Compared with occupying the Pacific Ocean and defeating the United States, Yang Fan's side is a completely different comparison between watermelon and sesame seeds!

"That's what it's decided!"

Hirohito nodded very relaxedly. Although he had made a decision in his heart, it was still very pleasant to reach an agreement with the two most trusted ministers!
