Chapter 1025

"Gentlemen, the empire has no way out in this war. From now on, the Army will do its best to resist the German attacks on various battlefields, buy us enough time, eliminate as many Germans as possible, make the Germans pay a huge price, and force them to return to the negotiating table. negotiate with us. It would be best if this war could be ended through peaceful negotiations. However, according to the analysis of our intelligence department, Hess, the leader of the Third Reich, was a very stubborn man and had a very tough attitude. And someone who has always been hostile to the Empire. Therefore, it will be very difficult to get them to agree to peace talks with the empire. We have no other way but to force the Germans back to the negotiating table through war on the battlefield!"Prime Minister Tojo Yinji said

"Hi, Your Majesty the Prime Minister!"The ministers of the Eastern Empire answered one after another.

Although everyone knows very well that this will undoubtedly be very difficult. However, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they must fight with all their strength.

Otherwise, if they really fight to the end, they must If the whole nation is shattered and the battle is fought to the last soldier, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the Eastern Empire.

By then, I am afraid that the Eastern Empire will really cease to exist.

"The empire's territory was small and resources were scarce. Therefore, we need to collect as many resources as possible from various occupied areas to the empire itself during this period of time. In this way, we can last longer in this war. Prime Minister Tojo Yinji continued:

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, next we will arrange more transport ships to transport supplies from various places to the mainland of the empire. Work hard for the empire to last longer in this war."General Gen Sugiyama said.

Prime Minister Tojo Yinji nodded. He knew that this was just a matter of survival. However, there was no other way. The biggest shortcoming of the Eastern Empire was that the mainland was too barren and lacked All kinds of resources. In fact, even food cannot be self-sufficient. This makes the Eastern Empire always want to expand outwards and strive for a broader living space.

Until the Eastern Empire defeated the Yanhuang Kingdom, and then occupied Goryeo and even This problem was solved after the Yanhuang Kingdom invaded the Northeast. After occupying Nanyang, the rich Nanyang made the strength of the Eastern Empire rapidly expand. This made the Eastern Empire no longer have to worry about resource issues.

But It is a pity that the Eastern Empire is destined to be unable to defend Nanyang. Especially when the navy has been defeated miserably, Nanyang, which is thousands of kilometers away from the mainland, is simply impossible to withstand the attack of the Third Reich.

Therefore, The Japanese people can now only transport various resources from Southeast Asia to the country as much as possible, so that the Eastern Empire can have enough resources in a short time to continue to develop military industry. In this way, when facing the Third Reich, they can also to be able to persist longer

"Gentlemen, the empire has now reached its most dangerous moment. If you have any suggestions, please put them forward. We must do everything we can to keep our country alive. Even more, ensure as much benefit as possible."Prime Minister Tojo Yinji said.

The other senior officials of the Toyo Empire nodded repeatedly.

Their fate has long been tied to the Toyo Empire. It can be said that one will be prosperous and one will suffer. If the Toyo Empire can continue to exist, If they go on, they can protect more interests, which is naturally the most beneficial thing for them.

"Your Excellency, Chancellor, is it possible for us to have peace talks with the Third Reich? Although our navy failed. However, we still have an extremely large army and can mobilize all the people to fight against the Third Reich. Eastern Tianzhu, Southeast Asia, Australia, and the islands in the Pacific are all still under our control. If we fight a bloody battle to the end, even if the Third Reich can win this war, it will inevitably pay heavy losses. If we can have peace talks, even if we make some concessions and pay a certain price, as long as we can end this war, it will be much better than continuing the war and burning it to the mainland of the empire."Foreign Minister Togo Shigetori said

"Yes, Togo-kun’s suggestion is good. If we can negotiate peace at this time, even if we lose some overseas territories, as long as we can end the war and avoid the continuation of the war, it will be very beneficial to us. This can prevent us from dying a lot of people, and can also prevent our land from being reduced to a scorched earth due to war!"The Minister of Finance Kagoya Hoshinobu also said.

Subsequently, other ministers in the Eastern Empire cabinet except the military also expressed their support for Togo Shigenori's suggestion.

Compared with the radical military, these civilian officials They were extremely optimistic about the future of the Eastern Empire and believed that if the war continued, they would definitely lose and be dead. Therefore, everyone supported the peace talks. Prime Minister Tojo

Yinji nodded, and everyone was very worried. clear

"Okay, gentlemen, I already know what everyone means. Personally, I would also prefer to have peace talks with the Third Reich. In this case, we may be able to end this war at the lowest cost. But unfortunately, the initiative is not in our hands. In other words, it is up to the Third Reich to decide whether to hold peace talks with the Third Reich."Prime Minister Tojo Yinji said.

This is undoubtedly very sad for the Eastern Empire.

Although they are one of the top powers in the world, their destiny is not controlled by them.

"Your Excellency, the Third Reich is indeed very powerful. However, we can definitely give it a try. Anyway, this doesn't do any harm to us." Dongxiang Maode said

"snort! Is this an attempt to humiliate oneself? How could it be possible for the empire and the Germans to end this war through peaceful negotiations? Especially when the German navy had just won a victory. If the Imperial Navy could defeat the Germans, perhaps it would be possible for us to negotiate with them. But now, how can they possibly negotiate with us after they have just won the victory?"General Yamada Otsuzo snorted coldly.

Admiral Shitaro Shitaro, the Minister of the Navy, and Admiral Hayao Shimamura, Chief of Naval Command, looked so gloomy that they could drip water. The meaning behind what General Yamada Otsuzo meant was The responsibility for the failure must be placed on their navy!
