Chapter 847 The Indian Question

Tojo Hideki said that the Navy would definitely support their army's plan. Kiichiro Hiranuma heard it and said that he would let the Navy minister come and talk to him.∈◆

Hideki Tojo stared at Kiichiro Hiramauma tightly. He thought it was an insult. He didn't take it seriously as the Minister of Army, Hiramamaa Kiichiro at all. However, he still held back his anger and looked at Kiichiro Hiramaa and said, "Then what do you think of our army?"

"Very good, I need you to defend India. India is a country with a large population. Our empire needs such resources. You know, the empire is developing rapidly now, we have a lot of enterprises and a lot of workers.

Also, your army is fighting well in Canada, but the casualties are also huge. You also need a large number of troops. You have lost so many countries in Southeast Asia. Do you want to lose India? India is lost, where can we get so many people?" Kiichiro Hiranuma said as he looked at Hideki Tojo.

"Do you want to stay with China now? If we choose this way, China may attack Manzhouli quickly. In addition, our 2 million troops in India will also be attacked by China.

Now our strategic resources are all inclined to the Americas. India has not enough strategic resources in all aspects. How do you ask us to fight? Okamura-kun is already exhausted there. Do you still want him to defend India?" Hideki Tojo looked at Kiichiro Hiranu and questioned.

"Then let's substitute. Okamura Nishi was defeated one after another. I can't understand why your army still wants to use him? Is there no other person in your army?" Kiichiro Hiranuma said to Hideki Tojo.

"There is indeed no one!" Hideki Tojo said.

"Nani?" Kiichiro Hiranuma didn't expect Tojo Hideaki to say this, and looked at him in shock.

"No general dares to fight Hu Bin? You also know that there are many generals in Hu Bin's hands. General Okamura Nishiji is a strategic person, he is very cautious in fighting and can defend and attack well.

But when facing Hu Bin, there was still no chance to win. Even if I went over, I could not defeat Hu Bin. No one in our empire was sure to kill Hu Bin!" Hideki Tojo said.

"Damn it, why is this happening?" Kiichiro Hiranuma heard it and cursed.

When the other staff heard this, they looked at Hideki Tojo in a dumbfounded manner. They had thought that Hideki Tojo favored Okamura Neji, but now after hearing what he said, they realized that it seemed that it was not the case!

"There is indeed a problem with the Imperial Army. The generals of our empire are not afraid of the US generals. No matter which famous general is, we can defeat him.

But when facing Hu Bin, we were not sure of winning. In order to analyze Hu Bin, our army set up a Hu Bin Staff Office, and more than 200 staff members were analyzing Hu Bin's style of play. Every time we thought Hu Bin would be defeated, the result was that our imperial army was defeated. This person was really evil! Alas!" Hideki Tojo continued.

"Tojo-kun, this is your exaggeration, right?" an aide was a little disbelief and asked at him.

"If you can defeat Hu Bin, I will ask Your Majesty for advice and give you a prince!" Hideki Tojo looked at him coldly and said.

"This!" The aide heard it and didn't dare to say anything else. Since Hideki Tojo dared to say this, it proved that this is indeed the case.

"Then what your army means? Retreat, retreat, give up the India we finally captured? There, our empire was broken by 130,000 soldiers, and more than 50,000 soldiers were disabled for life! Not to mention the soldiers we recruited in Southeast Asia.

At such a great price, just to make wedding dresses for China? I would like to ask Prime Minister Lu, can Your Majesty accept such a result? Can the people of the empire accept it?" Kiichiro Hiranuma looked at Hideki Tojo and asked.

"I know this is difficult, but now the situation is like this. Now we kidnapped those young and middle-aged people just to prevent Hu Bin from occupying India completely. Once they occupy India completely, our empire will suffer greater losses.

There is also the Middle East. If we can occupy part of the Middle East, it will also be of great help to the empire. We have found a large amount of oil there. As long as it is mined, it will greatly alleviate the empire's imports of oil!" Hideki Tojo looked at Kiichiro Hiranuma and explained.

"We can also conquer the Middle East while occupying India. There is actually no conflict! I would like to ask Prime Minister Lu, if we increase our strategic resources towards India, can you defeat Hu Bin? Even if you don't defeat Hu Bin, you must stabilize the current defense line. India does not only have population, but also other resources! The empire needs a lot of resources!" Kiichiro Hiranuma asked, looking at Hideki Tojo.

"Prime Minister, I can't answer you this question. To be honest, I'm not sure. The generals of the entire army were not sure. If I were sure, I would have mobilized myself long ago, and now our resources are tilted towards the Americas. If I draw materials from the Americas to India now, I'm worried that the Americas will not be able to be well!" Hideki Tojo said.

"Damn it!" Kiichiro Hiranuma heard what Hideki Tojo said, and he no longer knew what to say. Anyway, Hideki Tojo means the same thing. The troops in India are going to retreat and don't fight with Hu Bin. They are going to retreat to the Middle East!

"Prime Minister, no matter what aspect we consider now, we should not anger China. Once we anger China, it may have a very big impact on our Far East plan. This will be a bit unworthy of the loss!" Hideki Tojo reminded Kiichiro Hiranuma and said.

"Yoxi, let the Navy minister come to me. I need to confirm whether the Navy really agrees with this plan. Is it okay? It's not that I don't believe you, but that this strategy is completely inconsistent with the strategy we have formulated before. I must consider it carefully and seek the Navy's opinions!" Kiichiro Hiranuma looked at Hideki Tojo and said helplessly.

"Yes!" Tojo Hideki sighed in his heart, nodded and said.

Soon, Kiichiro Hiranuma asked someone to call Navy Minister Minumasa!

After about 10 minutes, Minuchi Mitsumasa came over and saw that Hideki Tojo was also here, he was a little surprised. Generally, they would not sit in a conference room. Their navy and the army were very disagreeable, so they would not sit together without any important matters.

"Prime Minister, Lord Lu!" Mine Mitsumasa came over, nodded at them, and then sat down.

"Look at this plan, it was sent by Okamura Natsuji, the commander of the Southeast Asian theater. We don't know what to do now. I need to hear what you mean!" Kiichiro Hiranuma took the telegram sent by Okamura Natsuji and handed it to Minumasa Minumasa.

"Hi!" Mine Mitsumasa took the telegram and started to look carefully.

After about 2 minutes, he finished reading it, then raised his head and looked at Hideki Tojo.

"I want to know what your navy means. If they go to the Middle East, then the logistics supply will still depend on your navy. Now our navy is concentrated in the North Pacific and Southeast Asia. If we want to transport materials to the Arabian Sea, can the navy succeed?" Kiichiro Hiranuma asked, looking at Mine Mitsumasa.

"There is no problem with this, but we can understand that the army is fighting like this!" Mine Mitsumasa nodded and said.

"Can you understand?" Kiichiro Hiranuma heard him say this, quite strange. He thought he had heard it wrong, and the Navy also spoke to the Army.

"Hi, I can fully understand that China's J-1 fighter jet has very good performance. Our empire's Zero aircraft is not a rival to J-1. It is not an advantage in the air, and Gangcunjun also takes most of the local recruits to fight, so it is impossible to be defeated.

Our navy is now afraid to approach the waters where Hu Bin's troops are located. Once Hu Bin's reconnaissance plane is discovered, our navy's ships will be very troublesome. Now we are also developing new aircraft and will be able to test flights next month. As long as the test flight is successful, I think we will dare to compete with Hu Bin in the air.

So, you just asked me if I could send supplies to the Arabian Sea. I can, but the premise is whether Hu Bin will keep chasing the retreating troops of Gangcunjun. Once Hu Bin's troops start pursuing, our navy will not dare to dock!" Mine Guangmasa said.

"No, Hu Bin cannot pursue so far. Their logistics supply line is so long. I think Hu Bin will not do this. Hu Bin wants to attack our troops in India. The purpose is very clear, which is to remove our threat to the northwest direction of China!" Hideki Tojo said immediately.

"Yoxi, I think so too, so I also said yes, but once Hu Bin wants to pursue me, I have no choice!" Mine Mitsumasa nodded and said.

"Do you agree to the retreat of Kazumura?" Kiichiro Hiranuma asked, looking at Mine Mitsumasa.

"We must retreat and guard India. How many troops we have will be defeated by Hu Bin. At that time, not only will we consume a huge amount of supplies, but we will also get nothing in India. Instead of doing this, it is better to start snatching supplies now, including population resources and other resources!" Mine Mitsumasa nodded and said.

"Yoxi, since you all agree, then do as Gangcunjun wants to do it? But now that we are talking about China, I want to hear you talk about how the empire handles its relationship with China?

According to our news, Chongqing is now going to fight Nanjing, which is a very dangerous signal!” Kiichiro Hiranuma asked as he looked at the two of them.
