Chapter 1749 Prepare with both hands

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, what should we do now? After the Germans destroy the United States, they will definitely concentrate their forces to deal with us. The fighting power of the Imperial Army is indeed strong, but if you want to fight against the German army, I am afraid it is still insufficient. "Kangxiang Heya Xingxuan said.

Hideki Tojo nodded, even if he was arrogant, he would not think that the army and navy of the island country had the strength to fight against the German army. Even though the strength of the island country's army and navy has made great progress, it is undeniable that there is still a very big gap compared with the German army.

"The current initiative is no longer in our hands. Everything depends on the Germans." Foreign Minister Matoku Togo said.

Indeed, the island nation has already joined this war, and has been fighting Germany in Southeast Asia for more than a year. Although the losses of the island countries were greater, they also caused certain losses to Germany. Therefore, if you want to shake hands and make peace, it is almost impossible. They also know that Germany will never let them go. However, if you continue to fight, you are doomed to fail. Therefore, this made the rulers of the island countries not know what to do.

"Gentlemen, do you have any good strategies that can help us survive this crisis?" Hideki Tojo asked.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, can we try to have peace talks with Germany? Even if we pay a certain price, we must keep our country. The Germans are all engaged in a war of destruction in this war. Russia was destroyed by the Germans , Britain and the United States were also destroyed by the Germans. Now, if the Germans gather all their forces to deal with us, we may still be unable to resist. Follow in the country's footsteps." Dongxiang Maode suggested.

In the case that the army is destined not to be the opponent of the Germans, summation is undoubtedly the best choice. In that case, at least the country's heritage can be preserved, and it will not be directly destroyed by Germany in the war like Russia, the United States and Britain.

Hideki Tojo frowned. If he asked for peace now, the Germans might not agree so easily. In other words, the island will pay a huge price for this. Not only will the territories occupied in this war have to be spit out, but if it is not done well, more costs will be paid. This is undoubtedly unacceptable to the Japanese military. After all, they spent a huge price and paid a heavy sacrifice to successfully occupy those overseas territories.

"Peace talks with the Germans may be very difficult to succeed. The Germans have just destroyed the United States, and it is the time when they are in high spirits. I am afraid they do not take us seriously." Hideki Tojo said.

"This is for sure. After the demise of the United States, no country can shake the hegemony of the Germans. Although the strength of the empire is also very strong, the Germans must have the confidence to defeat us." Marine Minister Shibata Shigetaro said .

"In addition, if we negotiate peace with the Germans, the territories we occupy in Southeast Asia, even the Philippine Islands of the Americans, will have to be handed over to the Germans. That is the territory that the imperial soldiers paid for millions of people. Ah! It is the basis for the rise of the empire. How can we be reconciled to handing it back to the Germans in this way!" Hideki Tojo said.

Indeed, if those overseas territories are to be returned, the people of these island countries are very unwilling. They have longed for resource-rich territories overseas for many years. Now it has finally opened up the situation in Nanyang. Although the price paid is very high, it is finally hopeful. If it is returned to Germany, wouldn't the efforts of these years be in vain?

The ministers of the island's cabinet were silent. They all know that the generals and officers of the military are definitely unwilling to spit out those territories. Therefore, if those territories are to be returned to the Germans, the military will definitely not be able to pass.

"Unless our army can defeat the Germans, no matter how bad it is, we must resist the Germans' attack. Otherwise, not only will we not be able to keep those overseas territories, but even our homeland will be attacked by the Germans. There is a possibility of perishing!" Dongxiang Maode reminded. The current island country is already facing a crisis of subjugation. If you don't pay attention, the island country may become a historical term like the United States. If you really come to that step, that is the worst end.

The expressions of Tojo Hideki and the others could not help but become serious. As Togo Matoku said, maybe their country will perish. If they really reached that step, then they are probably the sinners of the entire island country.

"Is there a way to preserve the Philippine Islands and Dutch Indonesia, and at the same time end the war with the Germans?" Kaya Konobu asked.

Hideki Tojo couldn't help laughing, because he thought it was a very ridiculous question. How could there be such a good thing in the world?

"Unless we can defeat the Germans on the battlefield. Otherwise, those overseas territories cannot be kept." Hideki Tojo said.

As a result, the problem once again fell into an unsolvable state.

"Your Excellency, now we have only one way to go to the end, and we are ready to fight the Germans to the end. Unless we can gain an advantage on the battlefield, otherwise, the Germans will ignore us at all. If we can resist on the battlefield If we stop the German attack and make them pay a higher price. Perhaps, we can make the Germans give up attacking us. In that case, we can take the opportunity to negotiate peace with them, and hope to keep the Philippine Islands and Dutch Indonesia.” Sea Shigetaro Aishimata said.

"It's going to be very difficult!" Tojo said. He has a very clear understanding of the gap in military strength between the two countries.

"It is indeed very difficult. But if we don't try, how will we know if a miracle will happen?" said Shimoda Shigetaro.

Hideki Tojo nodded, and he also longed for a miracle in his heart.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, then we can now prepare with both hands. On the one hand, immediately negotiate peace with the Germans and try to see if the Germans are willing to accept our armistice conditions. If the Germans are willing to armistice, that would be great .If the Germans are unwilling, then the only way is to use war. On the other hand, it is to fight to the death. Resist the German attack as much as possible and cause more casualties to the Germans. In this case, it may be possible to win A peace that is good for the empire," Matoku Togo suggested.

Hideki Tojo and others all agreed with this.
