"I'm so bold!"

People in later generations used this sentence to do business, but they didn't know that it was the most appropriate thing to use in Japan, especially in modern Japan, which was a perfect match. Modern Japan and China were simply typical examples of "suffering to death" and "starving to death to timidity". Later facts also proved that Japan was indeed "suffering to death", but what about China? It was bullied by Japan's bold man and could only fight to the death. As a result, this time, it was no longer timid and finally it was not "starved to death".

Although Ishihara Kanir is an alternative to the militarist idiots mass-made by Japanese military academies, he also has the characteristics of a Japanese: he is good at gambling!

He knew very well that Japan is facing now. Although it has captured Indonesia, Malaya, and the Philippines, which has given Japan a relatively stable source of strategic resources that it urgently needs, it will take some time for these resources to be truly transformed into combat power. Compared with the industrial strength of Britain, the United States and other countries, Japan cannot get on the table at all. He knew that although Japan is now fighting the United States in the east, invading Southeast Asia in the south, invading the Soviets in the north, and beating England and Gili in the west, there is also the Republic of China in the middle, which is a great show of its strength and power, but this is definitely not Japan's strength to that point. After all, it is really luck that Japan can get to this point. And he is also sure that except Southeast Asia, Japan cannot win any enemy in the other four directions... As long as they continue to fight, one alone can consume Japan, even the weakest China.

He also calculated that Japan's industrial output accounts for only 5% or even less than 5% of the world's total, and at most it can only be considered a third-rate in the world. Not only is it far behind the United States, but it is also a big difference from the Soviet Union, Germany and Britain. Therefore, competing with the United States is actually seeking death. For example, their steel output has only been less than 7 million tons in the past two years. What about the United States? Although war has broken out and has participated in the war, its production power has not been fully mobilized. Even so, its steel output is expected to reach more than 80 million tons this year, while its thirty-year-old

During the Great Depression, half of the blast furnace was shut down, steel production still hovered around 23-35 million tons. This means that even if Japan faced the United States, which suffered a heavy economic blow, it would still not win. Not only that, Japan also lacked high-quality iron ore resources. Although these can be supplemented from China, it still could not meet the requirements of military factories for steel and metals. Ishihara Kanr believes that if the scale of the war is further expanded, then they may need to remove the steel fences and road manhole covers in the Chinese occupied areas and then replenish them to make steel.

Before planning to attack the United States, Yamamoto Iroku had strongly opposed it. The biggest reason for his opposition was that the industrial level gap between the two sides was too far, "There are more chimneys in the United States than in Japan"!

But no matter what, the war with the United States has begun.

So Ishihara Kanir believes that they must end the war before Japan's war potential is exhausted. This is difficult, very, very difficult, and even completely impossible. But at least, they should also create an extremely favorable strategic environment for Japan before the war potential is exhausted.

Before, Ishihara Kanir didn't think this idea was feasible. So his idea was to occupy the Strait of Malacca and seize Australia's frontier position against the United States. He defended the Ural Mountains, first tried his best to block the three major powers of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union from the periphery, and then plotted against China... This is also difficult to do, because it is difficult to completely win against China alone, but if he did this, Japan would at least have a glimmer of hope. But he did not expect that the British were so incompetent, which allowed him to see a further dawn.

...

"Qing Ishihara, you think I am very ignorant of military affairs, so I want to deceive me, right?"

Ishihara Kanir's words choked Hirohito's saliva directly into his mouth, causing His Majesty the Emperor to almost choke to death by himself... This also led to Hirohito's extreme anger: The Chinese have not yet been defeated, but they want to go to the Asia-Africa junction? Is the Suez Canal easy to fight? Although the British's performance is indeed not good, it is the Suez Canal. No matter how great the Japanese Navy is, if you have to take into account Southeast Asia and Australia, and patrol the Pacific Defense Line east of Japan, how can you have the ability to cross the Indian Ocean to fight? Furthermore, even if you win, are the warships placed in the Mediterranean beautiful?

"Your Majesty, the British are actively planning for Libya's oil! Although their troops in Egypt are trying hard to cover up their actions, I am sure that they think so and must have put them into action... And once the Libyan war begins, Egypt will inevitably be empty! At this time, we raid from the Red Sea, and it is very likely that we can seize the Suez Canal!" Ishihara said seriously.

"I know the geography of the world!" Hirohito shouted loudly: "Entering the Red Sea? Do you think you can still hide it from the British when you enter the Red Sea?"

"I can't hide it." Ishihara smiled, "but as long as we gain enough time to move, we can achieve our goal."

"But I think you underestimate our enemies too much." Hirohito shouted, "The British's power in Egypt and the power in Myanmar are all two levels! Don't you know this?"

"I know." Ishihara Kanji looked at Hirohito, "and the British also knew very well. So, they would never have imagined that we would raid there."

"This cannot be successful." Hirohito shouted.

"If you don't try, how can you know that you can't succeed?" Ishihara Kanir stood up and took a step forward: "Your Majesty, if the previous strategy was that we were almost defeated, then we will have a great hope of turning defeat into victory after taking Suez! As long as we can hold there for three months, we can even reconcile with Britain and the United States... It is reconciliation, do you know? It is to let Britain and the United States take the initiative to reconcile with us after losing Southeast Asia!"

"...Reconciliation?" Hirohito's emperor's aura was instantly taken away, and he returned to the somewhat dull situation not long ago. "Can we still reconcile with Britain and the United States?"

"As long as we can do what we thought we could not do, Britain and the United States must reconcile with us. Especially Britain. They need oil from the Middle East, iron ore from India, and various materials. Without these things, their combat effectiveness will plummet, and they can even completely fall to the United States. But this is absolutely unacceptable." Ishihara Kan's eyes shining with a hint of madness, "And as long as Britain takes the initiative to reconcile with us, the United States will not be able to communicate with us alone before the European war is over, the United States will not be able to communicate with us alone before the end of the European war.

At that time, our enemy will be left with only one China! Only China! And it is China completely surrounded by us... So what if Myanmar is given to them? Even if their little industry can digest Ren'anqiong's oil and Monywa copper mine, how can we compare to Southeast Asia, Iran and even the entire Middle East oil? Apart from these, the Suez Canal is occupied by us, and even if they occupy Myanmar, they will no longer receive any help from the outside world!"

"Is it too ideal?" Hirohito was slightly shaken, but reason told him that this plan was still a bit incredible. "If we really want to reconcile with Britain and the United States, how could they let us continue to occupy Suez? And if we want to continue to possess Suez, how could Britain and the United States reconcile with us?"

"This requires us to show enough strength!" Ishihara said, "Besides, we are not fighting alone! If we know our actions, Germany and Italy will definitely do their best to help us. We can even get strong support that we cannot imagine!"

"Is this... really OK?"

Hirohito was finally moved. Militarists like them were extremely prone to crazy. Just like the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and the Russo-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and Russia. Before the war, everyone thought that Japan was overestimating its abilities, but they finally won. As for snatching Suez... so what if it was to cross the Indian Ocean? Their Japanese Imperial Army also blew up the Panama Canal? Until now, the Americans are still working hard to repair it. That is not to repair one or two warships. With just putting in their efforts, they can repair it quickly. In addition to putting in their efforts, it will take time, a lot of time. Moreover, their aviation troops also bombed New York... Since all these impossible things have been done, why can't they grab the Suez Canal through the Indian Ocean?

"The hope of victory is only 20%, but compared to the previous mission of bombing Pearl Harbor, eliminating the Pacific Fleet and bombing the United States, this proportion is not low. But if this plan is successful, then we will have greater voice after the war. Regardless of whether the Axis powers win or lose in the end, we will advance and retreat freely! And if we can occupy there for a long time, then with the Southeast Asian oil-producing zone and the Middle East oil-producing zone, the empire will become one of the makers of the future world order. At that time, we will truly go hand in hand with the British and American powers, and have great hopes to surpass them!" Ishihara Kanji shouted passionately.

"But this is 'attack'!" Hirohito finally had a trace of rationality: "Qing Ishihara, this is completely different from sending air force to bomb in the past. This requires ground troops. Moreover, the British are not weak in the Indian Ocean, and their power in the Mediterranean is even stronger. Once discovered, how huge losses this will cause to the empire, do you know?"

"So we must be fully prepared before taking action, even if there is little hope for success." Ishihara Kanir clenches his fists, "This is also the fundamental reason why I have to carry out large-scale contraction on the Chinese battlefield."

"Do you want to draw troops from the Chinese battlefield again?" Hirohito's heart tightened, "It's already difficult for the Chinese to deal with. Will it be even more unfavorable to us if we draw troops there?"

"Your Majesty, I don't plan to draw soldiers from our empire." Ishihara smiled sinisterly.

"If you don't draw the imperial army? Then you..." Hirohito was puzzled.

"I plan to draw the Chinese Imperial Army!" Ishihara's smile became colder, "Your Majesty, do you know how many people are in this team? If possible, we can even get more than one million troops!"

"How can this work?" Hirohito was shocked, "If so many Chinese people rebel, can't you think of what would happen?"

"What can happen?" Ishihara smiled disdainfully, "The Chinese are like us, all yellow people! If those Imperial Army soldiers arrive in Egypt, they will only be closer to us than they are now! They will become sharper and sharp bayonets in our hands!"

"You are too confident, Ishihara." Hirohito breathed a long sigh, "Who are the leaders of the Imperial Army? Don't you know what kind of people are there? If they are forced to lead their troops abroad to fight, they will immediately surrender to the Chinese government."

"So, we have to clean up their leaders before these Imperial Army troops go abroad!" Ishihara said coldly.

"This is even more fantasy!" Hirohito rolled his eyes unscrupulously, "The Qing family, if they cleaned up the leaders of the Imperial Army on a large scale, they would only speed up their surrender!"
