Lieutenant General Kinoshita rushed towards the Mi Army's position with his subordinates. hesitate

Then, he saw dense trenches, massive artillery and tanks like steel walls.

"Is this something a human can beat?"

Lieutenant General Kinoshita was completely dumbfounded.

No matter how arrogant he is, he still knows that it is impossible to resist those steel tanks only by relying on flesh and blood.

But now, it's too late.

Boom, boom, boom.

The artillery roared. hesitate

One by one howitzers smashed into Kinoshita's team.

Kinoshita watched helplessly as his men were blown to pieces.

In the blink of an eye, the members of the two alliances were reimbursed.

"Withdraw, withdraw quickly."

Kinoshita knew that he couldn't resist now, so he had to turn in immediately.

Kinoshita loudly ordered his men to retreat.

However, how could their two legs run past the shells. hesitate

The firepower extended in depth, covering his entire division inside.

Although the entire team had quickly retreated, it was too late. In the end, only a hundred people ran out of the range of the artillery, and the rest turned into broken corpses all over the ground.

The survivors frantically ran to the shore and reported the situation.

Nanyun didn't dare to hide the loss of a whole division, so he reported it immediately.

However, when reporting, he kept an eye out.

The telegram stated that Kinoshita refused to listen to dissuasion and insisted on leading the troops deep into the inland. They were ambushed by the Mi Army, and most of the entire division was lost. Fortunately, they were rescued by the United Fleet, otherwise the entire army would be wiped out. I hope that the headquarters will severely punish Kinoshita.

Nagumo is bullying Kinoshita for not being able to speak. hesitate

If Kinoshita knew that Nagumo had organized himself like this, he would have to crawl out of the soil and strangle Nayun to death.

The news that the Kinoshita Division was almost wiped out quickly spread to the base camp, which shocked everyone in the base camp.

They originally thought that the Americans were so weak that as long as the brave imperial soldiers rushed up, they would raise their hands and surrender.

This has been proven in Luzon.

However, in the United States, it is the exact opposite.

They had already captured the city, and the opponent's army not only did not surrender, but even dared to fight back, and even wiped out most of the strength of one of their divisions. This was beyond their imagination.

But things have already happened, and it is the business to find ways to shirk the blame. hesitate

Minister of the Navy Matsumoto immediately seized the opportunity and said: "Your Majesty, this kind of loss is all due to the incompetence of the Army Red Deer, which led to such a big defeat. I request Your Majesty to punish the Army and allocate more funds to our Navy." , we promise to capture all ports in the United States."

Seeing that the Minister of the Navy was making trouble like this, the Minister of the Army Tojo naturally quit: "Hmph, our army will fall into an ambush by mistake, isn't it because your navy is not good at reconnaissance? If we have enough planes, we can do it too."

"Besides, your navy can only get things within 50 miles of the coastline, what about more than 50 miles? Why don't we ask our army to take action?"

"I implore Your Majesty to stop the large-scale construction plan of the navy. One battleship is enough to arm several divisions. Your Majesty, please think twice."

When the Secretary of the Navy heard that the army was going to take action against his large-scale construction plan, his eyes were red.

Dajian is his lifeline, and no one can touch it.

"Your Majesty, the grand construction plan is the pillar of the country, the core of the country. If there are no warships, how can we maintain the empire's thousands of miles of sea and territory? Please think twice, Your Majesty."

The Minister of the Navy and the Minister of the Army were arguing red-faced. If it hadn't been for the presence of Zhang Tuohai, they might have fought on the spot.

In the end, the two of them couldn't agree on a reason, so they had to ask Zhang Tuohai to make a decision himself.

Zhang Tuohai thought for a while and said: "Both are loyal ministers of the country. The army and navy are the pillars of the country. Neither of them can be given up. Therefore, I have decided that the navy's major construction plan will not change, and it will be accelerated. The workers are working in three shifts, stepping up the construction, and must complete the construction of the battleship as quickly as possible."

"In addition, the navy will make a list of ships needed for the next quarter based on actual needs, and I will approve it if it is reasonable after review."

"As for the army, expand the army to 20 divisions and recruit 1 million troops. These divisions will be sent to Southeast Asia after basic training, and then the elite will be transferred from Southeast Asia to the United States."

"The Americans are extremely weak, and what they rely on is nothing more than advanced weapons. As long as the imperial soldiers are elite and courageous, they will definitely be able to defeat the American army."

The old **** Zhang Tuohai said. hesitate

Hearing Zhang Tuohai's words, the Minister of the Navy and the Minister of War were overjoyed.

They did not expect that Zhang Tuohai did not reduce the quotas of the two armies, but increased them instead.

Moreover, one million soldiers were recruited at once, which has never been done before.

"Your Majesty is holy."

The two knelt on the ground, their eyes full of excitement.

The Minister of War and the Minister of the Navy were happy, but the Minister of Finance (Finance) was not happy.

"Your Majesty, the new large-scale construction and military expansion plan requires a lot of money to support, but there is no such a large amount of money in the treasury, so I am afraid it will be difficult to do it." He hesitated.

"No money? This is simple, just print as much as you need."

Zhang Tuohai waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not." The Minister of Finance panicked upon hearing this.

"Your Majesty, the indiscriminate issuance of banknotes will lead to too much cash in the market, resulting in a depreciation of cash, which will wipe out the savings of the common people and cause social turmoil."

"Baga," Zhang Tuohai slapped the table fiercely, "Now that the country is in a difficult moment, when it's time for those ordinary people to contribute to the country, what's the matter with issuing more money? Who dares to object at this time, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is a national thief , is a traitor, dispatching military police to the streets, arresting those who dare to oppose, sending them to prisoner-of-war camps, depriving them of citizenship, and treating them the same as prisoners of war!"

Zhang Tuohai said loudly.

"Yes." The Minister of Finance did not dare to say more. hesitate

He was afraid that if he said it again, Zhang Tuohai would treat him as a prisoner of war.

Zhang Tuohai's order was conveyed, and the money printing machine began to run rapidly.

Massive amounts of banknotes were printed.

Zhang Tuohai not only printed a large amount of money, but also started a plan to spread money.

In order to celebrate his birthday, Zhang Tuohai generously announced that he would give each resident a red envelope of 10,000 yen.

This made the civilians very happy.

You must know that the wages of ordinary soldiers at this time are only a few yen, and the cost of a Type Zero fighter is only more than two thousand yen. For many people, ten thousand yen is simply an astronomical figure. hesitate

The Japanese knelt on the ground and worshiped, thinking that they would soon become rich.

As a result, reality slapped them hard.

If there is more money, but there are no more things, the value of money will become lower.

They were surprised to find that the prices of all daily necessities were skyrocketing.

The price of rice increased rapidly from 20 cents to 200 yuan per catty, a full 10,000-fold increase.

The money in their hands is only enough to buy less than 50 catties of rice, which is not enough for a month's consumption.

But the deposits in their hands were diluted, and everyone became a complete pauper. hesitate
