Secretary of State Hull whispered: "But Your Excellency, our transportation capacity is already very tight, and the strength of the escort fleet is even weaker and is easily attacked by German submarines."

"At any cost!" Roosevelt said, "No matter how much the loss is, Myanmar affairs must be resolved first."

Hull frowned and said, "But now, we really can't draw too many transport ships, let alone..."

Speaking of this, Hull said: "What's more, Moscow has been lost and the Soviet Union is on the verge of collapse. In order to save the Soviet Union, we must continue to increase our aid to the Soviet Union."

Roosevelt sighed lightly when he heard this. Moscow's fall made the Allied situation extremely severe.

Hull also said: "While continuing to increase assistance to the Soviet Union, we must also give priority to the aid to the northern Myanmar industrial base. It is really difficult for us to do it."

Roosevelt frowned and thought for a few seconds, asking, "So, how long do you think it will take the fastest?"

"Fastest?" Hull calculated in his mind for a moment and said in a deep voice, "I think it will take at least six months!"

"No, six months is too long!" Roosevelt said in a deep voice, "In four months, all the equipment on the list proposed by Stilwell must be shipped to northern Myanmar in full! All the equipment must be completed and put into production within six months!"

"Ah?" Hull said in a disloyal voice, "Even if we have the ability to transport machinery and equipment to northern Myanmar within four months, it is impossible to complete and put into production within the next two months. You know, the addressing and building factories, equipment debugging takes time, the establishment of hydraulic and power supply takes time, and the training of workers..."

"Hull, find a way to overcome it!" Roosevelt said deeply, "There is not much time left for us."

Hull stared at Roosevelt deeply for three seconds, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll find a way to overcome it."

"Hull, I believe you can do it," said Roosevelt. "You have never let me down."

"I hope I won't let you down this time." Hull smiled bitterly.

...

At the same time, it is in the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Japan.

Hirohito was sitting cross-legged on the tatami, standing in front of the Interior Minister Yuasakura Hei.

"Your Majesty, according to the information we have, it is actually very lucky for the German army to conquer Moscow this time." Yuasakura Heike bowed his body and whispered, "Three days ago, on December 21, 1740, because the German Central Army Group was unable to make a breakthrough from the battlefield, the head of state finally lost his patience and dispatched the most elite Fifth Battalion in the Brandenburg Special Forces and airborne to the rear of Moscow."

Yuyu opened his eyes suddenly and said in a deep voice: "Has Brandenburg Special Forces found the Soviet Command accurately?"

"Yes, with the intelligence provided by the German intelligence department, the Brandenburg Special Forces found the Soviet Command very accurately." Yuasakura Hei nodded, then shook his head and said, "However, their attack on the Soviet Command did not win, because the Supreme Soviet Command was just here to inspect, so the security work of the Soviet Command has been strengthened by more than three levels than before, so that the decapitation operation of the Brandenburg Special Forces failed."

After a pause, Yuasakura Hei continued: "However, although the beheading operation of the Brandenburg Special Forces failed, the Supreme Soviet Commander was at the Soviet Command at that time, which successfully caused the Soviet command and dispatch incorrectly. In order to ensure the safety of the Supreme Soviet Commander, the Soviet commander urgently dispatched several elite troops from the Moscow front line to help, which eventually led to the collapse of Moscow in its entire line!"

Hearing this, Hirohito couldn't help but sigh softly.

Hirohito said: "The war is like this, but it is often full of chance. It is inevitable that the German army will defeat the Soviet army, but who would have thought that the German army would win the Battle of Moscow because of such a failed beheading battle? But then again, after losing the Battle of Moscow, the Soviet Union should be about to follow in France's footsteps and announce its surrender, right?"

"No." Yuasakura Hei shook his head and said, "According to the information we have in our Ministry of Internal Affairs, the national characteristics of the Slavs are essentially different from those of the French. The French are free and casual, and it is difficult to be perseverant in doing things, but the national characteristics of the Slavs are aggressive and resilient!"

Hirohito frowned and said, "What does it mean?"

Yuasakura Hei whispered: "It means that the Soviet Union will not be like France. He surrendered to the enemy because of the fall of the capital. This is very similar to the Chinese people."

Hirohito nodded and then said, "Even if the Soviet Union refuses to surrender, I'm afraid it won't last long? Since the German Central Army Group has taken the lead in opening up the situation, then the German Northern Army Group and Southern Army Group must be about to win the battle."

After Hirohito said that, Yuasakura Hei did not respond.

After a while, Hirohito frowned again and said, "What, is there any problem?"

Yuasakura Hei whispered: "Your Majesty, although the German army captured Moscow, the situation may not be good, because the German army paid a heavy price in the battle to capture Moscow, and what is more important is..."

Hirohito frowned and said, "Yu Asa-kun, do you mean that the cold winter has arrived?"

"Yes." Yuasakura Hei nodded, "The cold winter in Northern Europe has finally arrived. The German army was not prepared enough, and all army groups lacked clothes to keep warm. Now the offensives on the north and south sides have basically stopped. Even in the middle, its central army group was unable to advance after capturing Moscow."

When Hirohito heard this, his sword eyebrows became more and more furrowed.

But soon, Hirohito's brows stretched out again and said, "Although the German army encountered difficulties for the time being, they will eventually defeat the Soviet Union. This is a historical necessity! What's more, the Soviet-German war has been delayed a little longer and the German army won the war later. Isn't it a good thing for the Japanese Empire?"

"Hai." Yuasakura Hei said, "Your Majesty's clarity."

Hirohito said again: "Tell me about the latest progress on the Southeast Asian battlefield?"

"Hai." Yuasakura Hei paused his head again and continued, "In the Philippines, Honma Masaharu's 14th Army has basically occupied the island, and the US and Philippine troops have retreated to a corner of the Bataan Peninsula. It is a matter of time before the entire army is destroyed; the 25th Army commanded by Ishihara Kanr has crossed the Johor Strait and is launching a fierce attack on the downtown area of ​​Singapore."
