So far, the two-month Burma battle has come to an end, and our Chinese Expeditionary Force has won a complete victory. According to preliminary statistics, this battle has annihilated more than 40 Japanese soldiers, more than 2000 combat aircraft, and sunk 6 destroyers, 2 submarines, 6 gunboats, severely damaged several main warships! "

"Damn Hippie! Well done!"

Generalissimo Jiang waved his fist excitedly. Although he already knew that the victory was confirmed yesterday afternoon, this heavy data still made him extremely excited.

Generalissimo Jiang read the telegram several times in a row, and then handed it to Zhang Zhizhong, who was full of desire, and said, "You immediately send a telegram to the Myanmar theater in the name of the Nationalist Government, I need an official statistical report on the battle situation!

After getting the report, we will organize a press conference of the highest standard as soon as possible. At that time, I will publicly tell the exciting good news to the people of the country, and to the people of the world! "

"Okay, Principal!"

Zhang Zhizhong quickly nodded in response, and then looked down happily.

"Brilliant! So inspiring! Well done!"

After a glance, Zhang Zhizhong was deeply attracted by the strings of gorgeous data, and kept applauding.

Chapter 1091 Really Angry

On the morning of June 6, Tokyo, Japan.

I don’t know if it was because of the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Burma, or because of the hundreds of thousands of ghosts of the Japanese soldiers who died in the battle. It was already a hot summer in Tokyo. After a heavy rain, the temperature suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees, and it turned cold.

Getting off the car, looking up at the gloomy sky, Hideki Tojo's mood became more and more depressed.

After a while, Hideki Tojo looked away, shook his military uniform, and then walked slowly towards the Imperial Palace in front of him with his head held high.

In just over a day, the three armies of the Burmese Expeditionary Army suffered a devastating blow. More than 30 imperial imperial troops were broken, and only the 19th Army was left with more than 5 people who successfully broke through.

Coupled with the 9th Division directly under the General Army Command, the Japanese troops who escaped by chance, and the second-line troops staying on the east bank of the Sitang River, the total strength of the entire Burmese dispatched army did not exceed 10.

That is to say, so far, the Burmese dispatched army, which originally had a total strength of more than 50 troops, has lost more than 40 troops since the start of the Burma battle.

Moreover, although the 19th Army succeeded in breaking through, it was forced to plunge into the primitive jungle of the Bennong Mountains in the vast forest. This is an extremely difficult road to return.

Whether these more than 5 imperial troops can escape to heaven unharmed is definitely a big challenge!

If the more than 5 imperial soldiers are gone in the end, then the Burmese dispatched army will really have no hair left, which is equivalent to being completely annihilated!

No, in addition, the Imperial Air Force and the Imperial Navy have also suffered extremely serious losses, especially the two pilot regiments of the Imperial Air Force have all been wiped out!

Thinking of this, Hideki Tojo's footsteps became more and more heavy, and he was deeply aware that today's imperial meeting must be a feast without a good feast, and most likely he will be questioned by Xingshi, and he may even be deposed as prime minister.

Just as he thought in his heart, Hideki Tojo felt a biting chill as soon as he entered the Imperial Palace.

I saw Prince Miyazaihito of the Military Council, Chief of the Military Command, King Fushimi Miyahiro, Minister of Internal Affairs Kiichiro Hiranuma, Minister of the Army Hata Shunroku, Chief of Operations of the General Staff Tominaga, Minister of the Navy and Shiro Kawako, and Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force Yamaguchi Wen and the others had already gathered together.

It's just that the difference from usual is that everyone is kneeling and sitting on the tatami mats, with extremely stern expressions.

Although they should have heard the sound of footsteps and knew that it was Hideki Tojo, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, everyone still maintained the state of clay sculpture and wood sculpture. Greet him as a big red man.

Seeing this, Hideki Tojo's face became even more ugly. He was the last one to get the news of the summoning, and following the changes in the attitudes of the ministers, it was obvious that His Majesty the Emperor was really angry this time!

Of course, Hideki Tojo had already made sufficient psychological preparations and countermeasures for the situation before him, but looking at the situation in front of him, he suddenly felt that his thinking was still too simple.

But, then again, it's perfectly normal for His Majesty the Emperor to be furious and angry. A total army of 50 troops is "miraculously" gone like this, and no one can maintain a normal heart!

The 50 elite troops sent by Burma were wiped out, and two entire flying divisions were wiped out. This is not an exaggeration for the Japanese Empire to describe it as traumatic.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that Japan's national foundation has been shaken to some extent, and the situation of the Sino-Japanese war is likely to undergo a major reversal next.

Once the situation on the Asian battlefield is fundamentally reversed, Japan will inevitably suffer serious threats and losses.

So no matter how great the Japanese navy's victory in the Pacific battlefield is, even if it annexes the whole of Australia, even if it blows up the entire west coast of the United States to ruins, all efforts will become meaningless.

Because Japan's foundation is in Asia, it can't handle it at its own doorstep, and even its homeland is taken away in the end, so what do you use to dominate the world?

Hideki Tojo knew that he was very unpopular now, so he was very obedient and kept quiet, walked to his seat in two or three steps, and then knelt down on the tatami.

Everyone in the room was silent, except for the sound of breathing one after another, the room was terribly quiet, and the atmosphere was suffocating.

Hideki Tojo's heart was getting worse and worse, and his confidence was getting weaker and weaker.

Dong dong dong, I don't know how long it took, there was a sound of heavy clogs outside the door, obviously this is the protagonist of today's imperial meeting!

"Kowtow to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Seeing Hirohito walking towards him step by step, Hideki Tojo hurriedly sat up on his knees and prostrated himself on the ground with his buttocks pouted, as if he was a primary school student who had done something wrong.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, wait for me to kowtow!"

The rest of the ministers followed suit and began to prostrate.

Hirohito walked to the main seat and knelt down without saying a word. He didn't speak for a long time, and he didn't let the ministers get up.

Hideki Tojo once again felt the sharp gaze and the burst of anger that was about to explode. If Hirohito didn't speak, he could only kneel on the ground, not daring to get up or speak.

In the same way, Xianyuan Gong Zairen and others could only do this, lying on the ground motionless.

Everyone knows that Hirohito is very angry now, and even has the intention of killing people. Who would dare to make trouble at this time?

I don't know how long it took, Yuren finally let out a long sigh, and then popped out a few words from between his teeth: "Everyone, get up."

"Hay!"

As if they had been pardoned, all the people sat up straight one after another, sitting upright tremblingly.

Everyone, including Yuren's uncle, Prince Xianyuan Gongzairen, dare not look Yuren in the eye.Dare to scan with the corner of your eye!

Hideki Tojo didn't even dare to look sideways, but he could clearly feel Hirohito's fiery eyes staring at him. It was the first time in his life that he felt such fear and fear!

"In one night, the entire four armies suffered a devastating blow. More than 4 imperial troops were collectively shattered, and the entire two flying divisions were wiped out. This is a great shame!"

Sure enough, after a while, Hirohito finally started to get mad, roaring furiously:

"Baga, this is not only a disgrace to the imperial family, but also a disgrace to the Imperial Japanese Army, and even the Empire of Japan! Tojo-kun, do you understand what shame is?"

Hearing this, Hideki Tojo quickly fell to his knees silently, with his head firmly pressed against the floor, his buttocks facing the sky without moving, as if his head was glued to the ground and could not be pulled out.

In addition, Hideki Tojo couldn't find any other emoticons to show how painful and guilty his inner world is at the moment, expressing his shameless desire to drill into the ground.

Chapter 1092 Thanksgiving Dade

But Hirohito, who was burning with anger, did not calm down because of this, on the contrary, he became even more angry, and continued to scold wildly by naming names:

"Tojo-kun, it was you who swore at the beginning that Umezu Yoshijiro was qualified to be the commander-in-chief of the Burmese dispatched army, that he would definitely defeat Yang Fan, defeat the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and conquer Burma and completely blockade China in one fell swoop, but what about now?

In just 2 months, there are less than 50 remnants and defeated soldiers of the 10 elite empire. How do you explain it now?How can you be worthy of Yu Sui's more than 40 imperial warriors?How can you be worthy of the hundreds of millions of people of the Yamato nation? "

"Your Majesty, I have misjudged my eyes. I have let Your Majesty down. Please punish me."

Hideki Tojo can only be a scapegoat honestly, bow his head and admit his mistakes,

But then again, if he doesn't take the blame, who will take it?

After all, Yoshijiro Umezu was strongly recommended by him. Although Yoshijiro Umezu's stupid performance was the main responsibility for the tragic failure of the Burma battle, Hideki Tojo's nepotism was also a huge factor.

"Misunderstood? Punishment? Huh! Is it over with just a word like this?"

"What's the use of punishing you now?"

"Can it save the lives of more than 40 imperial warriors? Can it save the defeat in Myanmar? Can it save the fate of the empire?"

Hirohito's anger could not be calmed down with just one or two words, and finally stared at Hideki Tojo with murderous eyes and roared: "If it is useful to admit your mistakes, if it is useful to punish you, if it can save the defeat, I will send you off with my own hands right now." Go to see God Amaterasu!"

"Your Majesty, this defeat has caused the empire to suffer great humiliation and loss. I really have an unshirkable responsibility! Since this is the case, I will give an explanation to Your Majesty and the Empire!"

Hearing these tingling nerves and bottomless scolding, Hideki Tojo's arrogance burst out, followed by a strong obsession with committing seppuku.

After speaking, Hideki Tojo got up from the ground and walked out without looking back.

"Stop for me, what do you want to do?"

Hiroren said angrily, "Are you trying to commit seppuku? Let me tell you, it's not that easy to want to die. If you commit suicide now, it's an escape, a coward's work, and it will only become a greater shame for the empire!"

Hideki Tojo looked at Hirohito with an ugly face, and asked with a straight neck: "Your Majesty, is the subject not even qualified to die now? Your Majesty, how do you want the subject to be satisfied?"

Hideki Tojo was forced to commit suicide, it was not easy for him to maintain restraint at this moment, how could he care about the emperor and his ministers.

"You idiot, why do I want your life? Don't you understand what I want?"

Hirohito stared at Hideki Tojo with a gloomy face, and roared angrily, "What I want is the entire Asian continent including China, what I want is the Great Japanese Empire for generations to come, what I want The most important thing is to seize this golden opportunity and make the Yamato nation the most noble nation in the world in one fell swoop!"

"Your Majesty, I'm guilty, I know I'm wrong!"

Hideki Tojo was crying so hard, it was the first time he had cried in public so embarrassingly since he was a child, but at this moment he really couldn't control his emotions.

They have made such a big mistake, and His Majesty still cares about and trusts him so much. Hideki Tojo is really grateful and ashamed.

At this moment, Hideki Tojo really wanted to slam his head on the tofu, or immediately use his supernatural powers to turn the world around, in order to repay His Majesty the Emperor's kindness!

"Tojo-kun, get up and talk!"

Seeing that Tojo was crying so sadly and sincerely, Hirohito's heart gradually softened.

Slowing down his face, Hirohito scanned the crowd and asked in a deep voice: "Masters, the empire has paid an unbearable price for casualties in Burma, and it has become a sad place for the empire.

I would like to ask you gentlemen, will the empire continue to increase troops to Burma?Does Burma really have to be captured? "

Thinking of the more than 40 pieces of elite imperial army, thinking of the two pilot regiments that were destroyed, and thinking of Yang Fan, the butcher of the empire, Hirohito was really tired and wanted to rest his feet before talking.

Once I returned to the pre-liberation period, I saw that the fruits of victory that were about to be obtained were gone like this, and the property I had accumulated so hard was suddenly ruined like this. I have to say that this was an extremely heavy mental blow.

"His Majesty!"

"You are this?"

"Are you going to retreat again?"

Hearing this, Kanin Gongzairen, Fushimi Gonghiro, Hiranuma Kiichiro, Hata Shunroku and others all heard something unusual, and all looked at Hirohito with questioning expressions on their faces.

Hideki Tojo's complexion changed drastically, he suddenly looked up at Hirohito and said, "Your Majesty, are you going to give up Myanmar?"

"How could it be that I want to give up Myanmar?"

Hirohito suddenly became angry again, first he stared at Hideki Tojo and yelled, saying that he didn't take the blame for it, it was obviously you who made the mess, okay?

Hideki Tojo suddenly became red-faced again, bowed his head deeply and admitted his mistake: "I have let His Majesty down! I am guilty!"

"Now is not the time to say that!"

After waving his hands, Hirohito asked in a loud voice with extreme displeasure: "Mr. Tojo, the war in Burma has become so rotten that it cannot be dealt with. Is it really necessary to continue the war in Burma? Will it not become the Empire's Waterloo again?"

"Your Majesty, of course it is necessary, and the war in Burma must continue!"

Hideki Tojo quickly replied: "Otherwise, more than 12 imperial troops from the 40 divisions of the empire would have died in vain!"

"That's right, the imperial army was indeed defeated in the last battle. Nearly 30 imperial troops were shattered overnight. This is a great loss and a great humiliation to the Great Japanese Empire!"

After a pause, Hideki Tojo continued with a grim expression: "However, what I must say is that the sacrifices of the warriors of the Empire also caused unbearable casualties and consumption to the Chinese Expeditionary Force. How much better the Japanese Empire!

At this moment, as long as the empire bites the bullet and launches another larger-scale battle in Burma, Burma will definitely be able to win the battle, completely smash the combat cluster of the Chinese Expeditionary Army, and smash Burma's industrial base!

Your Majesty, don't miss this opportunity! "

"Really? But the Empire of Japan is really difficult now! Conversely, the Empire of Japan has now occupied an incomparably vast territory, possessing inexhaustible population resources and inexhaustible strategic resources,"

Hirohito frowned, and then said: "There are no material obstacles to the development of the empire. At this time, why can't we stop temporarily and digest the achievements that have been obtained?"

Chapter 1093 Can't Stop

At this time, Xianyuan Gong Zairen nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I also think it's time to slow down. The Japanese Empire urgently needs a process of digestion and transformation!"

Yamaguchi Tamon followed up and said: "My ministers agree, although the Imperial Air Force is unprecedentedly powerful, the mainstream fighter Zero fighters have fallen behind and can no longer compete with the advanced American fighters!

It is precisely because of this that the entire two flying divisions in the Myanmar theater will be wiped out in the end even though the number is twice that of the Chinese Air Force!

And it will take at least half a year for the latest fighter jets of the empire to be officially put into production!If there is about a year to relax, presumably once the latest advanced fighter jets of the Empire are fully put into use, the Imperial Air Force will be invincible in the world!

At that time, do we still need to be afraid of Yang Fan and American fighter jets? "

"Yes, facing the defeat in this battle, apart from the Imperial Air Force's inability to guarantee air supremacy, the Imperial Army's armored tanks, self-propelled artillery, anti-aircraft guns and other technical equipment are completely at a disadvantage, and the infantry's automatic firepower is also quite lacking."

Minister of War Hata Shunroku also started the mode of complaining, and said aggrievedly: "At the end of the fight, the warriors of the empire could only use their flesh and blood to launch the long live charge, and they fell in pieces under the powerful automatic firepower of the Chinese army. Offline!

The Imperial Army urgently needs to scale up the production of the latest tanks and equip them with more and more powerful individual automatic firepower. Otherwise, no matter how hard the Imperial Warriors work, no matter how much sacrifice they make, it will be difficult to achieve the desired results! "

Japan is not too backward in tank armor and infantry automatic weapon research and manufacturing technology, but Japan has a small land and lack of resources, so it has to maximize cost savings.

At the same time, because the Japanese government put too much emphasis on naval construction in the early stage, a large amount of resources were tilted towards the navy, which led to the relative backwardness of the Japanese army's weaponry and European and American powers.

Although I have made up a lot of homework in the past two years, I still can't completely change the backward situation. The battle in Myanmar really hurt Hata Shunroku!
