Navy Minister Shiro Kawako quickly replied: "Your Majesty, the Hawaiian Islands have completely fallen into the hands of the empire. Midway Island, Guam, Wake Island, Johnston Island and other islands all fall into the hands of the empire of Japan.

The 26th Army, the Imperial Air Force and the Imperial Joint Fleet have completely controlled the sea and air control of the Pacific Ocean, and are currently replenishing materials and strengthening fortifications on various islands.

According to the plan, it will officially launch a harassment attack on the West Coast of the United States in two months to destroy industrial cities on the West Coast of the United States.”

Hirohito nodded and said, "Yo Xi! We must consolidate the control of the sea and air in the Pacific as soon as possible, so that the United States can completely lose its ability to counterattack the Pacific.

Once you have enough strength, you must launch an attack on the United States. You must never let the Americans grow and grow in the rear comfortably!"

"Hayi! His Majesty the Emperor is wise!"

Shiro Kawaki quickly gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "There is good news coming from Pearl Harbor, saying that after preliminary investigation, at least one aircraft carrier, three battleships, and more than four cruisers can be salvaged and repaired!"

"It's so great! In this way, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Navy can be greatly improved!"

Hirohito waved his fist in great excitement. The US aircraft carriers and battleships are much stronger than Japan's. They can have one more aircraft carrier, three battleships and four cruisers at once, which is equivalent to Japan's current total shipbuilding tonnage in one year.

Before the Pacific War, Japan had been building ships with military force, which made the total tonnage of the Japanese Navy almost the same as that of Britain. Japan even surpassed Britain in terms of aircraft carriers and naval aviation.

However, Japan's land is small and resources are scarce, and its industrial foundation is still too thin. There are only a few large warship shipyards in Japan, and Japan's shipbuilding capabilities are far inferior to those of the United States and Britain.

In order to build warships, Japan stopped all the construction of civilian ships, but even so, the shipyard was still not enough.

Sometimes when warship repairs, they can only drag the built ship out and make room for space, so Japan does not have enough energy or ability to build large warships.

In another space-time, during the 4 years of the Pacific War, Japan only produced 383 various ships, including 17 aircraft carriers, 2 battleships, 9 cruisers, 63 destroyers and 147 submarines, most of which were small and medium-sized warships, less than a fraction of the UK.

At the same time, the UK has built more than 50 aircraft carriers, 6 battleships, 102 cruisers, 291 destroyers, 238 submarines, 890 main battleships of various types, and a large number of auxiliary ships.

The production of British aircraft carriers and battleships is three times that of Japan, the production of destroyers is four times that of Japan, the production of cruisers is ten times that of Japan, and the production of frigates is 20 times that of Japan.

Like the United States, the United Kingdom is the type of more and more battles. Compared with the old industrial powers, Japan's foundation is really too thin.

Hirohito then asked: "What's going on in the East Indies such as Borneo, Sumatra, Java, and New Guinea?"

Army Minister Shinro Hata replied: "The 16th Army of the Empire has landed in Borneo, and the Dutch army on the island is about to collapse. It is even more vulnerable than the British and American troops. It is completely defeated.

The 16th Army's offensive was very smooth, and it was only a matter of time before it occupied Borneo and other large islands. According to my estimate, the entire East Indies will fall into the empire in only one and a half months at most!"

"Yo Xi!"

Hirohito nodded happily. He could occupy more than 4 million square kilometers of Southeast Asia in just two or three months, and would occupy tens of millions of square kilometers in one fell swoop. This is definitely the most brilliant milestone in Japanese history.

You should know that Japan's local area is less than 400,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the area of ​​Yunnan in China.

After a while of pleasure, Hirohito continued, "What about Australia? When can the Imperial Army start attacking?"

Hata Shunruo frowned slightly and said, "Australia is not yet good yet. We need to wait for the 14th Army to conquer the Philippine Islands, the 16th Army to conquer the East Indies, and the 15th Army to conquer Myanmar and cut off the China International Supply Line. The empire can concentrate its troops and materials southward to attack and conquer Australia in one fell swoop.

The whole process will take about half a year.”

After a pause, Hata Shunruo said with extreme confidence: "Please rest assured by His Majesty the Emperor. The Pacific Ocean is completely under the control of the Imperial Navy Combined Fleet. Australia is now a completely isolated continent. Even in a few years, they will not be able to receive reinforcements from outside."

Shiro Kawaki smiled and continued, "Yes, the whole of Australia is already the Empire's on-trade meal. You can eat it whenever the Empire wants to eat it!"

"Yo Xi!"

Yuhito's mouth curled slightly and asked, "There is no problem in these aspects. What I worry most about now is Myanmar.

The British actually handed over Myanmar to the Chinese army's military control, and the 40,000 British and Burmese troops were all transferred to the North African battlefield without firing a single shot.

However, we only found out such important intelligence and military mobilization three days later, which led to missing the best fighter plane. It was such a pity!

Now that the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the British and Burmese army have successfully handed over, the Chinese Expeditionary Force has enough time to deploy Myanmar defense. The 15th Army will face fierce battles, and I don’t know how much it will be lost to the Japanese Imperial Army.”

Yuasakura Hei quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "I have disappointed Your Majesty. The appearance of the opponent's special forces seemed too fast and too sudden. He actually instigated the Burmese people we carefully trained in just two or three days, and even dropped them in one breath..."

Hirohito waved his hand and interrupted, "Okay, I didn't blame you! Your Ministry of Internal Affairs has done a good enough job, but I don't want to see such a serious mistake in the future, and I don't want to hear it again."

"Hayi!"

Yuasakura Hei quickly bowed his head and thanked: "Thank you for your advice. I will do my best to contribute all my strength and loyalty to the Great Japanese Empire!"

Hirohito turned to look at Hideki Tojo and said, "Now the 25th Army has captured Singapore and occupied all the Malay Peninsula. So can they distribute some of their troops to attack Myanmar north with the cooperation of the joint fleet?"

“No problem at all!”

Shiro Kawaki nodded quickly and said loudly: "Although more than 300,000 Chinese troops have been stationed in Myanmar, the war between the Imperial Imperial Army in Southeast Asia has come to an end, and he has the full strength to mobilize 200,000 imperial troops in a short period of time!

The world's situation is determined. Under the wise rule of His Majesty the Emperor, the Japanese Empire will surely usher in an eternal prosperous era!"

"Yo Xi! Myanmar is the last lifeline of China. As long as it is cut off cleanly, China will only become weaker and weaker. In less than three years, the Great Japanese Empire will definitely conquer China completely.

But before that, the empire still has a long way to go, and it is still far from reaching the point where you can rest assured!”
Chapter completed!
