Chapter 361

The east and west directions of the Eurasian continent have become a mess.

On the European battlefield, the Third Reich is pushing across Western Europe to regain their glory and glory.

On the Asian battlefield, the Eastern Empire is also constantly expanding.

However, the Eastern Empire is a small country after all. Although they are currently the most powerful country in the Far East, their own shortcomings are also very obvious. As a result, although the current Eastern Empire has achieved great victory in the Yanhuang Kingdom, its expansion has reached its limit. If you want to expand further, it is very difficult because the battle line is too long.

Originally, the Eastern Empire was divided into two divisions: going north and going south.

However, during the Battle of Nomenkan, after the Eastern Empire was severely beaten by the Woolly Bear Alliance, it was discovered that going north seemed to be impossible, and the Woolly Bear Alliance was not that easy to mess with. Although Siberia in the north is vast, it is not so easy to bite. If you are not careful, you may break your teeth. Therefore, the southward faction has gained the upper hand in the country.

The main force of the southward faction was the navy of the Eastern Empire, which gave the navy the initiative in the cabinet.

Mitsumasa Yoneuchi, who was born in the navy, has become the prime minister of the Eastern Empire.

In the eyes of the Eastern Empire, Nanyang has always been a fertile and oily land. They have always been there not only to be rich and rich in resources, but also not too powerful. With the current strength of the Eastern Empire, it can be easily occupied.

If it is said that the Eastern Empire was still worried that it was the territory of the Western powers. So now, they don't have to worry so much. Gaul had been defeated by the Third Reich and had to surrender to the Third Reich in order to continue. The Empire on which the Sun Never Sets was suppressed by the Third Reich. Even the safety of the mainland became a problem. How could it take care of its overseas colonies? As for the Spice Islands, they were originally a colony of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Kingdom of the Netherlands was just a small country that was destroyed by the Third Reich, and it was not something to be afraid of at all.

It can be said that now is a good opportunity for the Eastern Empire to take advantage of the opportunity to expand to Southeast Asia.

On October 23, 1939, General Mitsumasa Yoneuchi, Prime Minister of the Eastern Empire, convened a group of cabinet ministers to discuss the next direction of expansion of the Eastern Empire.

Almost everyone knows that the Eastern Empire will begin to expand to Southeast Asia. In fact, everyone can't wait. Even the Army, which was originally opposed to this, also set its sights on Nanyang after its failure to go north.

The current Eastern Empire has consumed too much in the war, and they continue to inherit various resources from Nanyang. Nanyang is rich in copper, iron and coal, and these resources were inherited by the Eastern Empire. In addition, rice from the Nanyang region was also indispensable to the Eastern Empire. In addition, there is rubber from Nanyang, which is an important strategic resource.

If the Eastern Empire can swallow Nanyang, its potential will be further unleashed, and its war machine will have enough resources to operate.

This is very necessary for the Eastern Empire's strategy of supporting war with war and for the continuation of the war.

It can be said that the current expansion of the Eastern Emperor to Southeast Asia has reached the point where it is imperative.

"Gentlemen, the Third Reich has won a decisive victory on the battlefield in Western Europe. They defeated more than eight million Justice League troops in one fell swoop, which is really amazing!"General Mitsumasa Yoneuchi sighed.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister, the performance of the Third Reich in this battle was indeed too amazing. But it is a pity that they are unwilling to form an alliance with the empire. Otherwise, we can join forces to carve up the world!"Foreign Minister Arita Hachiro looked regretful.

"snort! The Third Reich looked down upon the Empire and was unwilling to ally with the Empire. That was their loss. Although they defeated eight million Justice League troops. Of course, there are reasons why they are very strong. However, it’s more because the Justice League’s army is so rubbish. Especially the Gauls, even though they mobilized a full six million troops. However, they are just a bunch of rabble. If you don't even have the courage to fight to the end, what's the use? If it were the Imperial Army, no matter how strong the enemy was, they would still dare to fight to the death and die for the country. If the Empire went to war with the Justice League, the Imperial Army could easily defeat them!"General Riku Xianghata Junroku looked contemptuous.

Indeed, the victory of the Third Reich on the battlefields of Western Europe was a huge shock to all countries in the world.

But at the same time, it also caused the armies of various countries to face the armies of the Justice League. Especially the Gallic Army is very contemptuous. They think that it is because they are greedy and afraid of death that they are easily defeated by the Third Reich, and that is why the Third Reich is famous. If it were them, they would definitely be able to win easily, etc. wait

"Since the Gaul Kingdom was defeated by the Third Reich, the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets was blocked and attacked by the Third Reich. Then, the time is undoubtedly ripe for the empire to take the opportunity to go south and seize the entire Nanyang. The resources of Nanyang are very important to the empire. The empire needs the resources of Nanyang to support this war and enable the empire to achieve hegemony! Therefore, we cannot wait any longer and must launch an attack on Nanyang immediately!"Admiral Zengo Yoshida, Prime Minister of the Navy, said. The navy of the Eastern Empire has always been the vanguard of going south.

Not because of anything else, but because of oil.

The warships of the navy all burn oil. Once they go to sea, they must be burned. Thousands of tons of fuel.

The Toyo Empire was originally a country that was extremely short of oil.

Previously, all the oil was purchased from the Eagle Country. However, this cost precious foreign exchange!

So much so that the Toyo Empire plundered during the war Most of the large amount of wealth fell into the pockets of the Eagle Country, buying oil, steel and other materials from them.

This made the Eastern Empire very dissatisfied.

After all, they gained huge benefits and benefits during the war. interests, but the lives of ordinary people are still difficult, which has caused dissatisfaction among the people.

If they can occupy Nanyang and obtain these resources directly from Nanyang, then they will no longer have to be plundered by the Eagle Kingdom. The Eastern Empire will also be affected by this. And become more powerful. And the people in the country may also be able to get a share of it, and their lives can be greatly improved._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
