() "Two alliances? I hope that the quality will be higher." Masaichi Terauchi also closed after seeing him well. In a short period of time, the two sides reached an agreement on this very important strategic issue. The reason is simple. They all know that with the navy being hit hard, the Bismarck Islands are like a chicken rib, and no one wants to continue to fight a war of attrition with no chance of winning. So everyone chose the stop loss wisely...

"In the future, the navy will choose to fight behind enemy lines, so can the land-based air force of the navy be placed under the command of the army? I mean the naval air force of the entire island of Guinea." Masaichi Teruchi asked.

"This is impossible. Although we will fight behind enemy lines in the next stage, it does not mean that we will not return to New Guinea in the future. Our air force plays an important role in the final battle, so we can't go to waste." Yamamoto Quan Bingwei flatly refused.

"Well, this problem is still early. It may be something that will only be encountered in half a year. The navy is now willing to provide two aviation wing. Since the navy and the army will perform their own tasks separately, then the military issue You can discuss it with the government alone. Let’s leave it alone for today. We will now discuss the next issue, a very important issue. It can even be said that we have spent hundreds of millions of yen and hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers in our battles. All of the casualties are for this question, that is, how do we end the war?" Saiyuan Temple Gongwang said.

Silence, the whole meeting was silent. If the senior military leaders here were to discuss the battle tactics, they could talk for several hours. If they discussed the distribution of materials, they could scold them for a day. But when it comes to the question of how to end the war, everyone seems dumb. After all, everyone is somewhat powerless for such a high-level and high-level political intelligence. Whether it is Gonbei Yamamoto or Masaichi Temple, they are both soldiers and politicians, but they are still far from being a true politician and the pillar of the country. They only know how to procrastinate on the tactical level, but they don't know how to fundamentally resolve this war!

"Let me talk about my thoughts. We must first obtain an understanding with the major countries involved outside the United States, first the Germans and then the Dutch. After all, these colonies were once the territory of the Dutch, whether they were Germans or British. The people are still French, and they don’t want the Americans to control too much in Southeast Asia. Therefore, if necessary, if we can return some areas to the Dutch, then let the Netherlands form a separation zone between us and the Americans. It would be better."

"Secondly, although the island of New Guinea is destined to be lost, we still have to bleed as much blood as possible for the US military here in exchange for a favorable position in the negotiations. Our bottom line is to ensure that Kalimantan is in the hands of the empire, Sura The island of Weissy is striving for it. As for the Maluku Islands between Sulawesi and New Guinea, it is a bargaining chip. We can return it to the Dutch as a quarantine belt." Said.

"We are soldiers and can only be responsible for things on the battlefield. We will try our best to obtain a good battlefield situation to provide bargaining chips for the Empire in negotiations. We have no opinion on the settlement with Germany, but I have one question I want to ask. , Does this so-called isolation zone with the United States mean reconciliation between us and the United States after the end of the war?" Masaichi Temple asked.

"Some people in the government have put forward similar views. Ishii Kiujiro believes that if we can get along with the United States through a certain degree of concession, then the defense pressure of the empire will be greatly reduced and we can free up more power to do other things. And a breakwater controlled by a small country will be a very important support point for this strategy." Saiyuan Temple Gongwang said.

"Then if we sign this treaty with the Americans, will we sign similar treaties with the Germans, the British, or the French in the future?" asked Gonei Yamamoto.

"Maybe." Xiyuan Temple Gongwang frowned, and there was no confidence in his words. Because he knows that if this opening is opened, Japan's dominant position in Southeast Asia will be severely challenged. After all, the purpose of the war is basically profit, and economic interests are the top priority. Isn’t the Japanese and American fighting for the control of Southeast Asia and East Asia?

Well, if Japan and the United States reach an agreement, what do other European powers think? They want at least the same economic treatment as the United States. And if the economic treatment is the same, why does Japan compete with these capitalist powers? In addition to cheap driving force and personnel-intensive industries, the Japanese heavy industry is not competitive at all before the Western powers. Once the door is really "open", Japan will wait to be squeezed out of the market!

Don't think that only the Americans in this world have the ability to use force to force Japan to submit. In fact, if the benefits are sufficient, Germany and Austria have this ability too! Don’t forget that the easternmost German colony is on the island of Ceylon, and the little brother of Germany, the Netherlands, still controls the island of Sumatra. These places are almost pasted on the side of Kalimantan, the core of the Japanese colony in Southeast Asia!

By the way~lightnovelpub.net~ There is another country that cannot be forgotten, that is France. Now in Europe, a continental alliance system with Germany and Austria as the core is being brewed. This alliance is so powerful and stronger than the previous allies. Even more terrifying, even in the Far East far from Europe, they still have the strength to overwhelm Japan!

"You have said that for Germany, Japan’s greatest use is to contain Russia and the United States. For this purpose, the Germans allow us to control part of the Dutch East Indies. It is also for this purpose, as long as we do not overly harm The economic interests of the Germans in the Far East can be ignored by the political situation in the Far East. Well, now the question is coming. If we reach an agreement with the Americans, what role do we have for Germany? Former members of the Allies, I am afraid that Germany and Austria have countless reasons and motives to act on us, right?"

"Your Excellency Saiyuanji, if you think about it carefully, the war has been over for 2 years, and we have been fighting with the Americans for a year, and we may fight for another year in the future. What will be the result if we face the allies that have been resting for three years? If a war breaks out, we will inevitably fail, and the Americans who have just signed a contract will definitely fall into trouble. If they choose to compromise, then the other party’s conditions will be very harsh. . Have you ever thought of a solution to this problem?" Masaichi Temple asked.
