Chapter 2154: Far east

"Everyone has heard about the results of the British Expeditionary Force. The European War is about to end, and the Empire is about to usher in a war, a war that is more important than the Russo-Japanese War. In the future, we will face this world. The two most powerful countries, the United States and Germany. And this time, we do not have a reliable ally. Everyone knows the severity of the situation, and today, as we sit here, we have to discuss this matter!" Saiyuan Temple Gongwang, who was the prime minister, sat on the main seat and said.

"Our first line of defense is the island of Guinea. We have deployed more than 100,000 troops on the island of Guinea. We have also built airfields, submarine bases, and some fortresses. We have a relatively sufficient stock of supplies. Our submarine forces will wait for opportunities. The U.S.-German navy's transportation line launched an attack. Under the cover of land-based aircraft, the main force of the combined fleet will use the Rabaul area as a base to resist the attack of the U.S.-German fleet." Said Yamamoto, who is in charge of the navy, marked on the map. Out of the position of the Japanese fleet and naval aviation.

　　 "What if this line of defense is breached?" Saiyuanji Gongwang asked.

"If the Rabaul line of defense is breached. Then the entire Guinea region will be very bad. The U.S.-German army can choose any point to launch the landing. They do not need to go deep into the island of Guinea, as long as they establish a chain of bases in the coastal area that can support the army to continue advancing. Yes. In the absence of geographical advantage, it will be very difficult for us to prevent the superior enemy from attacking. In this case, the navy may shrink to the area around Mindanao in the Philippines." said Yamamoto Gonei.

"Haha, doesn't this mean that the German Pacific colonies and Dutch colonies acquired by the empire during the war have been directly given out? Yamamoto-kun is really generous. The chassis we obtained after working hard for more than a year was just like that. Throw it aside, and then shrank into the territory of the empire in 1898. I knew this, why did we start a war? The benefits that the empire spent a lot of money in exchange for are gone? Instead, we have grievances with the two superpowers. What's the point of doing it?" Masaichi Temple sneered after listening, and ironically satirized the navy's behavior.

"Well, Mr. Temple, now is not the time to complain, and the implementation of the strategy of going south was discussed by the cabinet. You agreed at the time. You can only say that we did not expect the Allied Powers to lose, and now it makes no sense to complain. We Let's first figure out how to win this war." Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said with some discomfort. "Then Yamamoto-kun, please continue."

"The Philippines will be our last line of defense. The Imperial Navy will guard it to the death. The navy agreed that it is the best to deploy a fleet here. The US-German fleet cannot continue to attack the Kalimantan Islands westward, because the voyage is too long and it will Threatened by the flank of the imperial fleet. So they can only continue to attack in the direction of the Philippines and fight on the preset battlefield chosen by the empire. We have been operating in the Philippines for more than ten years and it is not difficult to block the opponent's attack." Wei said.

　　 "Then the navy has thought about the direction of the US-German fleet's attack, can we take the initiative to fire the war into the opponent's area?" Saiyuanji Gongwang asked.

"The American-German fleet's offensive method may take the islands along the way as a pedal, and then move forward step by step, occupy an island, then establish a base, and then move forward. The Imperial Navy can only harass the other side, but it is difficult to destroy the American establishment. The base, because our land-based air force cannot accompany the fleet in such a remote place, the carrier-based aircraft force is quite vulnerable to land-based bombers, and coupled with the weakness of the fleet, we can only fight on our own home field." Bingbei said.

　　 Although Japan is a bit powerful in this plane, and the fleet is unmatched by the Japanese combined fleet in history, if the Japanese dare to head-on the main force of the US-German fleet on the high seas, then the United States and Germany can have the confidence to end the war in an afternoon! The Japanese fleet can only fight with the support of land-based aviation, and land-based aviation provides reconnaissance and sea attacks to make up for the lack of fleet strength.

　　 Subject to the constraints of aircraft performance in this era, the range of land-based aviation is relatively short. There is no such thing as the B17 at all, and when it comes to the Japanese Navy, they even have very few bombers of this level. Therefore, the Japanese Naval Air Force does not have the capability of ocean warfare at all.

"According to the performance of the German navy in the war, in addition to the strong main fleet of the German fleet, their submarines are also very powerful. If the Germans use the same set of measures against the British on us, does the navy have any way to deal with it?" Asked Yuanji Gongwang.

　　 "Sorry, we can only do our best." Yamamoto Quanhei said palely. For Japan, it is more difficult to protect its long lines of communication than to prevent the advancement of the virtue fleet! Look at the powerful British Royal Navy. Don't you want to be annoyed by hundreds of German submarines? World War I anti-submarine technology is not mature at all~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The cost-effectiveness of submarines is outrageous, and the Japanese cannot solve problems that the British cannot solve.

"Wartime supplies mainly come from two sources. One is East Asia, which is very far away from the battlefield. It is difficult for German submarines to threaten here. In addition, we can only pin our hopes on the United States and Germany. The transport ship has started," said Gonbee Yamamoto.

　　 "Although the strategic goals of the United States and Germany are different, we cannot pin our hopes of victory on luck. The navy still has to work harder in escorting." Saiyuanji Gongwang said with a sigh.

"Under this circumstance, can we consider giving up part of the interests of Southeast Asia in exchange for peace with the United States and Germany? Judging from the current situation, the benefits of attacking Russia from the north are greater than those from the south. The right enemy is also weaker.” Katsutaro’s words were undoubtedly like dropping a bomb in a calm pool in the venue, causing the entire venue to boil!

　　 "This is simply a traitorous remark!" Kato Yusaburo stood up and pointed to Katy Taro's nose and cursed, while the navy officers on the side also stood up, and the scene was chaotic.

"Okay, it's all quiet! At today's meeting everyone can speak freely, but you can't use force. If you want to fight, leave my yard as you please, and here, whoever dares to move, I can only fork you out!" As the veteran of Saiyuanji Gongwang, the deterrent power is still enough for the next-level high-level sea and land. No matter it is Yusaburo Kato or Yoshimasa Oshima, they dare not make a mistake.
