Chapter 956

The top officials of the Eastern Empire gathered in the Prime Minister's Office. However, each of them had solemn expressions and red eyes.

They all know very well that the current Eastern Empire is facing a very serious danger. If things go wrong, their country will be destroyed directly.

Although everyone knows that the Third Reich is very powerful. The war between the Eastern Empire and the Third Reich was inevitable. There will definitely be a battle in the near future. In fact, the possibility of the Eastern Empire's defeat is still very high.

However, they always believed that the war would not break out until 1945. Even, if you are lucky, it can be delayed until 1946. In this case, the Eastern Empire can also be more prepared.

They have invested a lot of resources into the development of armaments. The Navy's shipyards are already filled with warships and aircraft carriers under construction. The Army's tank factories are also working overtime to produce a variety of bean tanks. Although, the tanks of the Eastern Empire are just a joke. However, at least when the number and scale increase, it will make them think that they are powerful and give themselves the illusion of invincibility.

But the sudden surrender of the Eagle Country caused the Third Reich to end the war against the Eagle Country early. This is undoubtedly fatal to them. This means that war is very likely to break out within this year. The situation became even more unfavorable for the Eastern Empire.

If the Eastern Empire had a 30% chance of winning before. So now, their chance of winning is less than 10%.

Such a result is naturally unacceptable to the top management of Yingjiang Country. They also began to think of ways to reverse the situation and regain their disadvantage. Japanese people never sit still and wait for death. Even if they are forced into a desperate situation, they will still carry out the final desperate struggle to find the last chance. Even if they die together, they won't make things easier for their opponents. It is precisely because of this ferocity that the Eastern Empire's combat effectiveness is very powerful and its fighting methods are very crazy. It would not be so easy for other countries to defeat the Eastern Empire. In fact, he didn't even have the courage to be an enemy of the Eastern Empire.

Even a world-class power like the Third Reich must be careful if it wants to defeat the Eastern Empire. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will capsize in the gutter.

"Gentlemen, the empire has now reached the final moment of life and death. What should we do to defeat the Third Reich and preserve our empire and interests?"Prime Minister Tojo Yinji looked at everyone

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the current situation is indeed very dangerous for us. Eagle Sauce Country is really terrible. To actually surrender at this juncture is simply a coward and a fool! But the empire has no other choice now. It can only do its best to fight the Third Reich to the end!"General Gen. Gen. Sugiyama, Chief of Staff of the Army, said.

Prime Minister Tojo Yinji nodded. It is inevitable to go all out. In other words, going all out is what the Eastern Empire is best at.

If they didn't go all out again and again, they wouldn't be able to do it at all. With the current powerful empire

"What about the Navy? Does the Navy have any suggestions for this?"Prime Minister Tojo Yinji asked

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, if war breaks out this year. For us, it is indeed very disadvantageous. We still have many battleships and aircraft carriers under construction. If we can tow these battleships and aircraft carriers into service, it will be very beneficial to us. In fact, the possibility of defeating the Third Reich at sea will also greatly increase!"Admiral Shitaro Shimada, Minister of the Navy, said.

Although the current scale of the Toyo Imperial Navy cannot be underestimated, compared with the Third Reich Navy, there is undoubtedly a big gap.

In terms of capital ships, the main force of the Toyo Imperial Navy is currently in service. The ships include two Kongo-class battleships, two Fuso-class battleships, two Ise-class battleships, two Nagato-class battleships, two Kaga-class battleships, four Kii-class battleships, four Yamato-class battleships, and four Amagi-class battlecruiser. The number of battleships has reached 22.

Although the number is large, there is still a very big gap compared with the Third Reich Navy. And in terms of performance, the Toyo Imperial Navy is not sure of victory.

Although the four Yamato-class battleships are very powerful, the three N3-class battleships of the Third Reich are not weak at all. In order to strengthen the navy's strength in capital ships, the Toyo Empire Navy is stepping up the construction of the second batch of four Kii -class battleships and four Amagi-class battlecruisers. It is expected that it will take at least one year to enter service. In addition, there are also Yamato-class battleships, which have also completed their design and are under intense construction. These all take time.. Once construction is completed, this will make the Toyo Empire Navy even more powerful. In terms of capital ships, it will be enough to compete with the Third Reich Navy. As for aircraft carriers, even with modified aircraft carriers, the Toyo Empire Navy currently only has Only 34 ships. It seems like a lot, but these aircraft carriers converted from merchant ships, seaplane carriers and submarine carriers have small displacement, poor defense, and a very limited number of carrier-based aircraft, so their combat effectiveness is natural It won't be much higher.

Once a war breaks out, there is no way to compare with the battleships and aircraft carriers of the Third Reich Navy.

If the gap in carrier-based aircraft is added, the gap in strength between the two sides will be even greater.

In In the shipyard, there are still as many as six Taiho-class aircraft carriers under construction. This will be the heavy-duty aircraft carrier mass-produced by the Toyo Empire. Once it is put into service, it will greatly strengthen the Toyo Empire's navy.force. Moreover, the Toyo Empire Navy also plans to build a large-scale Taiho-class aircraft carrier in the future, which will further strengthen the navy's aircraft carrier strength.

But unfortunately, they were too late.

If a naval war breaks out this year, their warships under construction will not be of use at all.

"There is no way around it. The Third Reich won't give us enough time to build battleships!"Prime Minister Tojo Yinji couldn't help but frowned.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we must strike first and launch a preemptive attack. Otherwise, the situation will be even more unfavorable to us!"Combined Fleet Commander Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku put forward his own opinions.
