Chapter 738
“It’s so good!”
Hideki Tojo raised his arms happily and shouted, "Tianyou Yamato, after receiving such a large amount of supplies, the Great Japanese Empire firmly defended the Hawaiian Islands and made it a powerful frontier offensive base for the Great Japanese Empire in the Pacific!"
Shinji Hata echoed excitedly: "Yes, the Imperial Army stationed in the Hawaiian Islands, even without supply input, is enough to last for three years of fuel consumption!
In this way, the pressure on Imperial oil consumption has been reduced a lot!"
"You can't say that!"
Mine Mitsumasa looked at the beard and retorted: "The empire now consumes only more than 2 million tons of oil per year, but it is not that the empire cannot consume it, but because of the lack of oil resources, the empire's consumption is restricted!
If the oil supply is sufficient, the empire's oil consumption in a year can at least double, or even reach tens of millions of tons!
For the empire, of course, the more crude oil, the better. The Japanese Empire will not think that there is too much oil!
So even with this large oil depot on Hawaii Island, Borneo's oil fields still need to be fully included in the empire as soon as possible."
Hirohito nodded happily and said, "What Minejun said is that as long as the Great Japanese Empire has enough oil, it can create a stronger air force and navy, and will no longer be afraid of any war consumption!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Mine Hiromasa paused, and then said excitedly: "There is another exciting news. Although the ships of the US Pacific Fleet have basically been sunk, the dock repair shop on Oahu is extremely well preserved.
The Great Japanese Empire can completely salvage the sunken American warships. After repairing, they will be put back into use. Maybe even the American aircraft carriers and battleships will have the opportunity to repair them!"
"Yoxi! It would be great if US aircraft carriers and battleships could be repaired. This would not only greatly enhance the naval strength of the Great Japanese Empire, but also deal a heavy blow to the Americans!"
Hirohito waved his fist again with great excitement. He has never been as happy as he is today in his life, and he has had many climaxes!
At this time, Hideki Tojo said very pretentiously: "Hey, if I had known this, I would have been lighter when the air strikes were first launched. How great would it be if the Americans could have taken all three aircraft carriers and nine battleships!"
"Tōjokun, you're overdoing this!"
"Yes, if all the American warships had not been sunk, how could they have surrendered so easily?"
"Hahaha!"
Tojo Hideki's words once again caused a lot of laughter.
After a while of trouble, the Chief of Staff of the Army Sugiyama Moto paused at Hirohito and said, "Your Majesty, there is no suspense in the Battle of the Hawaii Islands. So, whether to pursue the victory as planned will be the original plan? I would like to ask His Majesty the Emperor to sage!"
A year ago, Japan had formulated a fairly complete southern combat plan, especially after Hirohito made the plan to implement the Pearl Harbor sneak attack, it was further improved and implemented.
The Army's first phase plan was to occupy important resource areas and destroy the enemy's main bases in Southeast Asia.
The steps of the attack are: first capture the Malay Peninsula, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, and attack Myanmar, cut off the Burma highway that the United States and Britain transported materials to China and intimidate India.
The important areas that Japan plans to occupy include the Philippines, Malay Peninsula, Guam, Hong Kong, Thailand, Myanmar, Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Ribbes, Sisulawesi, Paisim, Dihan, Gilbert Islands, etc.
The southern operations will begin at the same time in the Philippines and the Malay Peninsula with close cooperation between the army and the navy, and must achieve their goals in the short term.
In order to achieve this goal, the Army established a new Southern Army General Command in Saigon and sent General Soichi Deanuchi as the commander-in-chief, with six subordinates, a total of ten divisions, two brigades, six army headquarters, and three flight divisions.
The naval coordinated combat forces include the Southern Force, Malay Force, Surveillance and Attack Force, Aviation Force, Philippine Force, South Ocean Force, Northern Force, Chinese Force, etc.
"That's all! Everything is implemented according to the original combat plan, and the southern battle will officially start in the early morning of tomorrow!"
Hirohito waved his hand without hesitation, then glanced around with a sharp look and said loudly: "You guys, the Great Japanese Empire has taken solid steps toward the world, but it is still a long way from the real victory we need.
Therefore, I urge you to be cautious of arrogance and impetuousness, and continue to work together to fight together to create the great cause of the Yamato nation, until the Yamato nation becomes the master of the entire world!
Please, yell!"
After saying that, Hirohito bent down at the military and political ministers.
"Hayi!"
"The Great Japanese Empire is on board!"
"His Majesty the Emperor" is on-load!"
Tojo Hideki and others bent down and bowed their heads, touched the ground with their hands, and shouted solemnly!
Chongqing Presidential Palace.
In the early morning of December 26, Dai Li hurriedly found Chairman Jiang with a telegram, and at this time, Chairman Jiang was discussing the loan with Song Ziwen.
"Yunnon, what are you talking about? The Japanese army attacked Hawaii? The US Navy's Pacific Fleet was completely destroyed, and the island of Hawaii was also trapped by the Japanese army? And Japan and the United States have declared war on each other?"
After listening to Dai Li's oral report, Chairman Jiang could not believe his ears and looked at Dai Li blankly, his head buzzing!
Dai Li nodded very seriously and said, "Committee, the information is very accurate. President Roosevelt has held a press conference and announced in an extremely tough tone that he would declare war on the Japanese. This matter has spread all over the world!"
After pausing, Dai Li continued: "Germany and Italy have also declared war on the United States, while Britain has officially declared war on Japan. Now the world pattern is completely clear. Germany, Italy and Japan have formed an Axis alliance, while the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union have established a stronger anti-war alliance."
"My mom, that's great!"
"The little Japanese is so arrogant that he actually started a war with the United States and destroyed the US Pacific Fleet in an instant. Now the US government cannot do anything even if it doesn't want to participate in the war!"
"With the two powerful allies of the United States and Britain, the process of our war of resistance against Japan in China will definitely be greatly shortened, which is great news!"
"Declare war, declare war immediately! You must kill these turtle grandchildren!"
After thoroughly understanding the situation, Chairman Jiang screamed in excitement. After a long time of thought, he waved his hand with a high expression:
"Immediately notify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that we will hold a press conference tomorrow and send a note to Japan, and we will declare war with them."
Chapter completed!
