Tojo nodded and replied: "I believe that the biggest failure of the German and Italian allies on the North African battlefield was that they did not give priority to the capture of other islands at the beginning, which led to their logistics supply lines being exposed to the threat of the Allied forces for a long time until they were completely cut off!

The North African battlefield is a desert area with a harsh living environment, and it relies extremely on mechanization of the troops. In other words, it will rely more on logistics supply, especially in terms of oil and fuel, and must keep up.

In fact, it was precisely because the supply line was cut off that Rommel's African Legion ultimately failed!"

It sounded very reasonable, Hirohito nodded slightly and said, "Tojo-kun, is there any more? Please continue."

"Hayi!"

Tojo nodded and then said, "If fundamentally speaking, the failure of Germany and Italy's allies is due to the loss of air and sea control, and the lack of industrial output capacity as compared to the Allies.

I have said a long time ago that modern warfare is not only fighting for the bravery and number of soldiers, but more importantly, fighting for national strength and industrial production capacity. After all, no matter how brave the soldiers on the front line are, they are not afraid of death, and their flesh and blood cannot resist bullets, let alone aircraft, cannons, tanks and armored vehicles!”

"On the surface, the German and Italian allies lost in the logistics supply line, but in fact, they lost in industrial production capacity, air superiority, and ultimately lost in the consumption of national strength!"

"Now the industrial machinery in the United States is starting at full speed. According to intelligence, the United States produced as high as 75 million tons of steel in 1941. It is half the total steel production volume in the Soviet Union, Germany, Britain, France, and the Great Japanese Empire!

This data is completely up to the point of view, and it is definitely not just a random talker!”

"In addition, the United States can now produce 200 million tons of oil every year, and can produce 40,000 aircraft and 30,000 tanks every year. It is equivalent to producing an average of 128 aircraft and 82 tanks per day.

This means that the planes and tanks driven from the production line every day can be equipped with three US flight brigades and one US armored regiment.

And this is just the current data, and over time, these data will be further enhanced!”

"It is precisely because of the strong industrial production capacity of the United States that Germany and Italy allies are getting weaker and weaker in the constant war of attrition, while the Allied camps are getting stronger and stronger, and in the end they completely lose air and sea power, and the supply line is completely cut off!"

"Also, the production capacity of US ships is also very amazing. Not only has the Atlantic Fleet been greatly enhanced, but the US Pacific Fleet has already become quite large and has even recovered its previous strength.

It is believed that it won’t take long before the Americans will launch a counterattack against the Great Japanese Empire on the Pacific battlefield! The Great Japanese Empire is about to face a two-line battle!"

"If it weren't for the great Japanese Empire that caused considerable damage to important industrial port cities on the west coast of the United States, perhaps the industrial machinery in the United States would have been so powerful as half a year ago."

After the conversation was opened, he couldn't stop. Tojo's conversation became stronger and stronger, and he made a lot of analysis, which made Hirohito, Fushimimiya Miya Hirokyo, Toyonaga and others stunned.

"Nani?"

"Is the industrial production capacity of the United States so strong?"

“It’s so scary!”

"Isn't this the Great Japanese Empire also dangerous?"

They knew that the United States was very strong and had the highest industrial production capacity in the world, but after hearing these big data, they still couldn't help but shiver and sucked in the air.

At this time, Tojo also made a big move and took out a document and said: "I asked the Army Provincial War Preparation Lesson to judge the United States' national strength a month ago.

Just yesterday, Chen finally received a report on the comparison of national strength between Japan and the United States by the military officer Shinjo Kenji. The specific data are as follows:

Steel production volume 1:20, petroleum refined volume 1:30, coal production 1:11, electricity 1:45, aluminum production 1:8.

Aircraft production volume 1:6, automobile production volume 1:410, ship ownership 1:13, industrial labor 1:4,..."

Hirohito frowned and asked with great concern: "Tojo-kun, doesn't this mean that the Great Japanese Empire is very dangerous now?"

Tojo raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much. The industrial production capacity of the Great Japanese Empire is indeed more than a little worse than that of the United States. Didn't we know this before the war started?

But so what? The result is that Americans have no way to deal with the Japanese Empire until now!

What's more, the Great Japanese Empire has long been different from the past, with unprecedented vast territory and inexhaustible war resources.

Whether it is high-quality steel or oil, the Great Japanese Empire is no longer short of shortages, and industrial output capacity is also rapidly increasing!”

Hirohito then asked, "Tojo-kun, it seems that you are confident, so please continue to talk about what should the Japanese Empire do the most correctly at present?"

Tojo replied: "It's very simple, it's nothing more than continuing to tap into potential and increasing industrial output and scientific research capabilities as much as possible.

Especially in the air force, the Great Japanese Empire needs to be further strengthened. Without air supremacy, it is equivalent to losing the initiative in war!”

Hirohito frowned and said, "Tojo-kun, you are right. The Great Japanese Empire is also working hard to develop in this way!

But I want to know more about the solution to the problem as soon as possible, rather than watching the enemy of the empire continue to grow stronger and eventually become an invincible powerful force."

Speaking of this, Hirohito paused in a tone: "I won't talk about the United States, after all, the Great Japanese Empire is no longer able to land and fight in North America at this stage.

But how can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed? Haven’t you seen that the military power of China is growing at a rate that is invisible to the naked eye?”

"Hayi, I naturally saw it!"

Tojo nodded and said, "The Chinese Tiger Army is indeed a very difficult and powerful opponent, and it is also the number one enemy of the Great Japanese Empire.

Logically speaking, all forces should be concentrated to annihilate, but I think the time is not yet ripe!"

Hirohito frowned and said, "What exactly do you mean by timing?"

Tojo turned his head and looked at the Air Force Commander-in-Chief Yamaguchi Tatsume, saying: "The biggest threat to the Tiger Army is their air force. Without having to control air supremacy, the Great Japanese Empire could not completely destroy this powerful military force.

Otherwise, the Imperial Army forcibly encircled and annihilated the Chinese Hu Ben Army, which would only cause too many unnecessary casualties and losses.

So what I think is the time when the air force of the Great Sun Empire can completely control the air supremacy of the Chinese battlefield!"

"I understand, I think so too!"
