In the blink of an eye, it was more than half a month, and it was September 1, 1939.

At 4:45 a.m., Germany officially declared war on Poland. The two armies had a total of 62 divisions, and more than 1.5 million German troops launched centripetal attacks towards Warsaw from both north and south.

The news spread and instantly triggered a series of reactions.

After hearing the news, the Japanese Emperor Hirohito immediately held an imperial meeting.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Japanese Prime Minister Mitsuhiro Arita, Foreign Minister Arita Hachiro, Lu Dahata Shinjiro, Mitsumasato Mitsumasato, Hiranuma Kiichiro Hiranuma, Army Chief of Staff Miyato Miyato, and Navy Commander Fushimi Miyato Hiroki rushed to the Imperial Study room one after another, and a meeting that determined the fate of Japan's political affairs began.

"My dear friends, you must be exhausted recently?"

Hirohito's voice was a little hoarse, and even had obvious dark circles, but it could be seen that he was very excited.

He paused and said, "You all know, right? Just three hours ago, Germany officially declared war on Poland, and the continental war finally broke out completely."

Xianyuan Gong Zairen coughed lightly and continued: "Debo starts a war and can be boldly predicted that the entire European continent will be a whole pot of porridge in the next three to five years, or even ten to eight years, and no matter who wins and who loses in the continent, there is one thing we can be completely sure about."

Fushimi Miyagi Hirokyo continued: "That is, Britain and France have no longer cared about Southeast Asian colonies. The French, British, and fleets stationed in Southeast Asia will inevitably withdraw to Europe. In this way, the entire Southeast Asia and even the entire Asia will become an unprepared empty city!"

Speaking of this hard handshake, he continued: "The empire can easily occupy it with just a little force. As long as it occupys the entire Southeast Asia, oil, rubber and even iron ore, it can no longer bother the empire. The empire will usher in a century of opportunity. It only takes thirty years, no, it only takes ten years to rise to the world's number one power!"

Hearing this, Fumiko Koe's face immediately calmed down. This old Japanese man was a conservative.

Koewe Fumi's point of view is that you should eat one bite at a time and do things one by one. You must never be rushing to achieve success. If you act too quickly, it may be too much or too much.

But Shin-in-Miyato-in and Fushimimiya Hirokyo obviously don't want to wait anymore and want to start a war!

At that moment, Fumikoto hurriedly knelt down from the tatami and said angrily: "Is it really good to send troops to Southeast Asia and seize the colonies from Britain and France?"

Lu Aihata Shunruo said: "Is there anything wrong with it?"

Moon-ji Kobe instantly felt that the situation was a bit out of control. As Prime Minister Lu and as a member of the Kobe cabinet, shouldn't Hata Shunrok's position be consistent with him as the Prime Minister?

But now, Shinroku Hata actually jumped out and sang a rebellious tune.

Fumi Konoe felt that his head was quite boring.

At that moment, Fumikoto Komsu said to Hirohito: "Your Majesty, I do not deserve the position, so I request to resign."

To be honest, Hirohito actually doesn't like Koebe Fumi. He thinks that this old guy always sings opposite him, which is really annoying. But then again, this old guy is really capable. It may not be possible to replace others as the prime minister. After all, it is not easy to resolve all aspects of interest disputes.

Hirohito said: "Koshi Kono, the current empire is in a major change that has not been seen in a century. It is the time to use people. You can't just put on a bunch of picks at such a critical moment."

Komaki Fumi said, "But your Majesty, I am really powerless."

Hirohito said in a harmonious voice: "We have something to say, what are the specific difficulties?"

"It's still a financial problem, I don't have money." Kome Fumiya spread his hands and turned his head to the lower-ranking Minister of Finance Kiichiro Hiranu, and said, "Hainu Lord, it's better for you to talk to Your Majesty and your colleagues."

"Hai." Kiichiro Hiranuma paused his head slightly and continued, "Your Majesty, the two high men, and you all, since the full war with China in the 12th year of Showa, the financial situation of the empire has deteriorated sharply, and by this year, the fiscal deficit has reached a shocking level."

"There is no need to worry about the fiscal deficit at all." Xianyuan Jae-in said with a wave of his hand, "A cannon fires, gold is 10,000 taels. This refers to two aspects. On the one hand, it refers to the consumption of military expenditure like flowing water, but on the other hand, as long as the battle can be won, the benefits of war are immeasurable."

Fushimi Miyagi Hakukhi agreed: "It's just this principle. As long as you occupy Southeast Asia, the empire can seize huge colonial dividends from Britain and France. The scale of this benefit will exceed our imagination and be enough to block the deficit caused by the Japanese-School War."

Fumiko Koeh said angrily: "Before the Japanese branch started a full war, you also said that the dividends of the war were enough to make up for the financial hole, but what about now? What I see now is that the financial holes have not been blocked, but have become even bigger and are even on the verge of collapse!"

Xianyuan Gong Zairen coughed lightly and said a little embarrassedly: "No, isn't this the Japanese-Chinese War not over yet? Since the war is not over yet, it is naturally impossible to get the final dividend."

"This is the problem." Konoe Fumi clapped his hands, "Before the Japanese-Chinese War, you kept saying that you could destroy China within three months, but now three years have passed, China is still resisting tenaciously. The millions of troops of the empire are still dragged in the mud, and the military spending every day is astronomical!"

Speaking of this, Fumikoto Koemi emphasized, "I would like to ask, if the empire really sent troops to Southeast Asia and really snatched colonies from Britain and France, can the war really end in a short time?"

"Of course." Fushimi Miyagi Hakuto said firmly, "The war in Southeast Asia is different from the Japanese war."

"It's true." Xianyuan Miyagi Zairen also said, "The Japanese-Chinese War was actually a war of aggression for the empire, so it was firmly resisted by the Chinese people, so the war was so difficult, but the war in Southeast Asia was not like this. For the indigenous people in Southeast Asia, the imperial army was actually liberator!"

"What's more, the empire has a huge navy to assist in the war!" Fushimimiya Hiroki said, "To put it bluntly, even if the navy of Britain and France form a joint fleet in Asia, it is far from the opponent of the Imperial Navy. Southeast Asia is mostly islands. The advantages of the Imperial Navy can be fully utilized. I really can't think of a reason why the war can be delayed for a long time?"

Fumi Konomi groaned and continued, "What if the United States participates in the war? Can it win quickly?"
