Take Taobao to fight against Japan

Tojo was the first to speak after pondering for a moment, "I am very clear about all aspects of the North African battlefield, but just judging from the results of the war, it is indeed surprising and even unsettling.

But after careful scrutiny, it is actually not terrible. The Germans lost quite unjustly. If they hadn’t made a fatal mistake at the beginning, the Allies must have lost, not the Germans! "

Hirohito frowned, and asked with a smile: "Tojo-kun, tell me, what's your opinion?"

Chapter 1448 Scary Big Data

Tojo nodded and replied: "I believe that the biggest failure of the German and Italian allies in the North African battlefield was that they did not give priority to capturing Malta Island at the beginning. Finally got completely cut off!

The North African battlefield is mostly a desert area with a harsh living environment, which is extremely dependent on the mechanization of troops. In other words, it will be more dependent on logistical supplies, especially in terms of fuel, which must keep up.

In fact, it was precisely because the supply line was cut off that eventually led to the failure of Rommel's African Army! "

It sounded reasonable, Hirohito nodded slightly and said, "Tojo-kun, are there any more? Please continue."

"Hay!"

Tojo nodded, and then continued; "Fundamentally speaking, the failure of the German and Italian allies lies in the loss of air and sea control, and the fact that the industrial output capacity is not as good as that of the allies.

I said a long time ago that modern warfare is not only about the bravery and number of soldiers, but more importantly, national power and industrial production capacity. After all, no matter how brave the frontline soldiers are, they are not afraid of death. Talk about aircraft cannons and tanks and armored vehicles! "

"On the surface, the German and Italian allies lost in the logistics supply line, but in fact they lost in industrial production capacity, lost in air supremacy, and finally lost in the consumption of national power!"

"Nowadays, the industrial machinery in the United States has been running at full speed. According to intelligence, the United States produced 1941 million tons of steel in 7500. It is more than half of the total steel production of the Soviet Union, Germany, Britain, France, and the Great Japanese Empire. !

This data is completely testable, and it is by no means just talking nonsense! "

"In addition, the United States can now produce 2 million tons of oil per year, 4 aircraft and 3 tanks per year. This is equivalent to an average daily production of 128 aircraft and 82 tanks.

This means that the planes and tanks that come out of the production line every day can be equipped with 3 U.S. military flight brigades and 1 U.S. armored regiment.

And this is only the current data, as time goes by, these data will be further enhanced! "

"It is precisely because of the strong industrial production capacity of the United States that the German and Italian allies are getting weaker and weaker in the constant war of attrition, while the Allied camp is getting stronger and stronger, so that in the end they completely lost their air and sea control, and their supply lines were completely cut off! "

"What's more, the production capacity of US ships is also amazing. Not only has the Atlantic Fleet been greatly enhanced, but even the US Pacific Fleet has grown to a considerable size, and has even returned to its previous strength.

Presumably it won't be long before the Americans will launch a counterattack against the Great Japanese Empire on the Pacific battlefield!The Empire of Japan is about to face a two-front battle! "

"If it weren't for the fact that the Japanese Empire had caused considerable damage to the important industrial port cities on the west coast of the United States, perhaps the industrial machines in the United States would have been so powerful half a year ago."

Once the chatterbox was opened, it couldn't be stopped. Tojo's chatter became more and more intense, and he analyzed it eloquently, which made Hirohito, Fushimi Gong Hiroko, Tominaga and others stunned.

"Nani?"

"Is the industrial production capacity of the United States so powerful?"

"It's too scary!"

"Isn't the Great Japanese Empire in danger?"

They know that the United States is very powerful and has the largest industrial production capacity in the world, but after hearing these big data at this time, they still couldn't help shivering and gasping for air.

At this time, Tojo made a big move, took out a document and said: "A month ago, I asked the War Preparation Division of the Army Ministry to judge the national strength of the United States.

Just yesterday, I finally received a report on the comparison of national power between Japan and the United States written by Kenkichi Shinjo, the military attache stationed in the United States. The specific data are as follows:

钢铁生产量1:20，石油精制量1:30，煤炭产量1:11，电力1:45，铝产量1:8。

飞机生产量1:6，汽车生产量1:410，船舶保有量1:13，工业劳力1:4，……”

Hirohito frowned, and asked extremely worriedly: "Tojo-kun, doesn't this mean that the Great Japanese Empire is very dangerous now?"

Tojo raised his eyebrows and said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much. The industrial production capacity of the Great Japanese Empire is indeed more than a star and a half behind that of the United States. Didn't we already know this before the war started?

But so what, the result is not that the Americans have nothing to do with the Japanese Empire until now!

What's more, the Great Japanese Empire is no longer what it used to be, with an unprecedented vast territory and inexhaustible war resources.

Whether it is high-quality steel or oil, the Empire of Japan is no longer in short supply, and its industrial output capacity is also rapidly increasing! "

Hirohito then asked: "Mr. Tojo, it seems that you have a plan in mind, so please continue to talk about it. What is the most correct way for the Empire of Japan at present?"

Tojo replied: "It's very simple, it is nothing more than continuing to tap the potential and increase industrial output capacity and scientific research capacity as much as possible.

Especially in terms of the air force, the Empire of Japan needs to be further strengthened. Without air supremacy, it is equivalent to losing the initiative in war! "

Hirohito frowned and said: "Tojo-kun, you are right, the Japanese Empire is currently working hard to develop like this!

But I want to know more about how to solve the problem as soon as possible, rather than watching the enemies of the empire become stronger and eventually become an invincible force. "

Speaking of this, Hirohito paused and said: "I won't talk about the United States, after all, it is impossible for the Empire of Japan to land and fight in North America at this stage.

But how can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch? Don't you see that China's military power is growing at a speed invisible to the naked eye? "

"Hayi, I naturally saw it too!"

Tojo nodded and said: "The Huaxia Huben Army is indeed a very difficult and powerful opponent, and it is also the number one enemy of the Great Japanese Empire.

It stands to reason that all forces should be concentrated for annihilation, but I think the time is not yet ripe! "

Hirohito frowned and said, "What do you mean by timing?"

Tojo turned his head and looked at Air Force Commander-in-Chief Yamaguchi Tamon and said: "The biggest threat to the Huben Army lies in their air force. Without air supremacy, the Empire of Japan has no way to completely destroy this powerful military force. strength.

Otherwise, the imperial army would forcibly encircle and annihilate the Huaxia Huben Army, which would only cause too many unnecessary casualties and attrition.

Therefore, the time I think is when the air force of the Great Japanese Empire can completely control the air power of the Chinese battlefield! "

"I see, I think so too!"

Hirohito nodded, turned to look at Yamaguchi and said, "Yamaguchi Army, I want to know how long it will take for your air force to defeat the Huben Air Force?"

Chapter 1449 He's up again

"3 months is enough!"

Yamaguchi Tamon, who was psychologically prepared, said confidently, "The current monthly output of the Imperial Japanese Empire Raiden interceptors and Rafale fighters has reached 280 and 830.

Including the existing reserves, the Empire of Japan will have 1200 Thunder interceptors and 4700 Rafale fighters three months later!

I believe that at that time, the Imperial Japanese Air Force will definitely be able to form a crushing advantage over the Huben Air Force, and it will definitely be able to ensure that air supremacy is firmly in the hands of the Imperial Japanese Empire! "

Tojo, who also served as Minister of the Army, answered excitedly: "As long as the Imperial Japanese Air Force can control the air, the Imperial Japanese Army will be invincible!"

"Yo Xi!"

Hirohito nodded happily, and then said, "Although the monthly output of these two new fighter jets has reached 1100, it is far from enough. I will give priority to resources to the Air Force, so that the Imperial Japanese Factory can produce more. Lots of advanced fighter jets!"

"That's even better!"

Yamaguchi's face was almost broken with a smile, and he continued, "In addition, the engineers of the Empire of Japan are still developing more advanced fighter jets and night combat aircraft."

"Night combat aircraft?"

Hearing this, Hirohito immediately became curious and asked anxiously, "Please tell me more about it, Mr. Yamaguchi!"

"Hay!"

Yamaguchi Tamon nodded and said, "Night combat aircraft have been widely used by the German allies and allied forces in the European and African battlefields.

The difference between this kind of combat aircraft and the current mainstream combat aircraft is that it has a search radar, which can search for ground targets at night for bombing, and can also search and locate enemy aircraft in the air, so as to achieve night combat capabilities.

In addition, the Chinese Huben Army has also imported a large number of night fighters from the British, so that the Imperial Japanese Air Force can no longer continue to bomb and harass at night.

If at this time, the Huben Army or the Allied Forces bomb us at night, we will be helpless!

Fortunately, our homeland is far enough away from the Shandong Peninsula, otherwise it would be tricky! "

"Wow! So, the night combat aircraft has become the biggest bottleneck and shortcoming of the Empire of Japan, and it must be resolved as soon as possible!"

After listening to Yamaguchi Tamon's explanation, Hirohito couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and then asked, "When will the Yamaguchi-kun Empire of Japan be able to develop good enough night fighters and night bombers?"

Yamaguchi Tamon quickly replied: "The biggest difference between night combat aircraft and conventional combat aircraft is the search radar, and the Empire of Japan already has such radar technology.

It's just that the search radar is relatively cumbersome and needs to be supported by two engines, which means that as long as it is a dual-engine combat aircraft, it can be converted into a night combat aircraft.

The Empire of Japan already has a variety of twin-engine fighters and twin-engine bombers, such as Kawasaki Heavy Industries' Tulong 2 double-seat fighter, Nakajima Aircraft Company's [-]-test twin-engine land fighter, and so on.

Therefore, Kokoshi-kun, the head of the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Design Department, told Chen that if it is only to meet the needs of night combat, the current Japanese Empire only needs to modify the existing twin-engine combat aircraft, and it can be developed in a month or two at most. The night bomber and night fighter! "

"Suoga! This is really exciting news!"

Hirohito raised his brows and said with a smile, "But we must not be satisfied with our present, we must tell Kokoshi-kun and them that we must study hard, and we must keep the Imperial Japanese Air Force sufficiently advanced!

I will definitely support them with all my strength!

Only when the Japanese Air Force is sufficiently advanced and superior, can the airspace of the Imperial Japanese Empire be safe, and the imperial warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy be invincible! "

"Hai! His Majesty the Emperor is wise! The aircraft engineers of the Empire of Japan will definitely live up to His Majesty's high expectations!"

Yamaguchi Tamon grinned from ear to ear. As the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Air Force, he naturally hopes that his subordinates will be strong and strong, and they can become the mainstay of the Great Japanese Empire, so that they can make great achievements and make great achievements.

At this time, Shimantaro Shimada, the Minister of the Navy, said with some taste: "Your Majesty, the air force is of course very important, but the Japanese Navy cannot lag behind either.

If there is no powerful navy, how can the Empire of Japan guarantee overseas interests and local security? "

Hirohito said with a smile: "Mr. Shimada, the Imperial Japanese Navy is already very powerful. Besides, when did I treat the Japanese Navy badly? When did I say that the navy's construction funds would be cut?"

After a pause, Hirohito said very boldly: "Although compared with the United States, the industrial strength of the Great Japanese Empire is much worse, but as Mr. Tojo said just now, the Great Japanese Empire is no longer what it used to be, and its financial situation is unprecedented. good!

The three armies of sea, land and air will spare no effort to support, because only with a strong and invincible military strength can the Great Japanese Empire truly stand up and win the final victory!

And all of this is inseparable from the full support and solidarity of the kings. For the future of the Great Japanese Empire, and for the future generations of the Yamato nation, please, gentlemen! "

After finishing speaking, Hirohito bowed emotionally to all the officials present.

"Willing to serve His Majesty the Emperor!"

"His Majesty the Emperor onboard!"

"The Great Japanese Empire will last forever!"

Tojo, Yamaguchi Tamon, Shimada Shintaro and others hurriedly kowtowed respectfully and sang praises, making it very lively.

After the hi, Tojo said loudly: "Your Majesty, although the prerequisites for annihilating the Chinese Huben Army are not yet met, the Chinese battlefield cannot continue to rot.

The minister suggested that Mr. Gangcun be transferred back to the Huaxia battlefield immediately, and let him start preparing for the relevant battles! "

Hirohito nodded and said: "Mr. Gangmura is indeed a great general, and he is currently the most capable of dealing with the Chinese Huben Army in the Empire of Japan.

Although the Thai-Myanmar border has built an indestructible defense system chain, but the Burmese side also has to defend, and it is safe to have a competent guard.

Tojo-kun, how do you think this should be properly arranged? "

Seemingly understanding what Hirohito meant, Tojo quickly replied:

"It's better to let Gangmura-kun and Hata Toshi switch positions. What does His Majesty think? Hata Toshi is a seasoned and prudent general. It is most suitable for him to be in charge of stationing in Thailand. Presumably he will not make any mistakes!"

"Suoga! That's the decision!"

Hirohito nodded happily.

In the previous third Changsha battle, although Anan Keji took the responsibility, Hirohito was not too angry with Anan Weiji.

On the contrary, he was very dissatisfied with the performance of Junliu Hata, the commander-in-chief of the China Dispatch Army, and now he could use this opportunity to send him to Burma to guard the fortress!

Chapter 1450 It's time to go back

As Tojo predicted, two days later, the Americans who had been exhausted for a long time launched the battle to recover Guadalupe Island.

After more than ten days of bloody battles, the U.S. military, which had an absolute advantage, finally regained the lost ground at its doorstep as it wished, and pushed back the frontier positions of the Japanese army to the Hawaiian Islands more than 3700 kilometers away in one fell swoop.

The U.S. military paid more than 3000 lives in this battle, and the Japanese brigade guarding the island did not surrender to the last soldier. This battle made the Americans truly feel the tenacity and combat effectiveness of the Japanese army.

Even so, the victory in this battle greatly encouraged the American military and civilians, allowing them to find the pleasure of revenge and a sense of superiority over the Japanese!

After cutting off the thorn in the side of the house, the scope of activities of the U.S. Pacific Fleet has suddenly increased a lot, and it has begun to be confident and ready to launch an attack on the Hawaiian Islands.

In a flash of time, it came two months later, that is, July 1942, 7.

At this time, Germany was fighting fiercely with the Soviet army in Leningrad and Volgograd, and the Soviet Red Army was stubbornly fighting the German army in a bloody war of attrition street by street and house by house in two ruined cities.

Although the head of state gritted his teeth and wanted to tear the Soviet Red Army into pieces, the fighting nation was still that fighting nation. Not only was it not wiped out or conquered during the long and arduous war of resistance, but it became stronger and stronger.

Not only were these two cities inextricably fought with the German army, but even Moscow launched a large-scale counterattack, and a small half of the city has regained control of the Soviet Red Army.

In addition, in the Caucasus region, the joint efforts of the Soviet Red Army and the Allied Forces not only completely stabilized the line of defense, but also showed an active advantage. Only a very small number of mountain passes in the Caucasus Mountains are still under German control.

However, the two oil fields of Maykop and Grozny in the North Caucasus have already fallen under the control of the German army and have begun to produce oil for the German army.

The situation in the Allied camp is steadily improving, and the strength of the anti-fascist alliance is rapidly increasing. Turkey, which was vacillating before, saw that the situation was not good, so it withdrew half of the Turkish divisions hoarded on the Soviet-Turkish border to show goodwill to the Allied forces.
