982 After Tojo Hideki took the car to Kiichiro Hiranuma, he got off the car and went straight to his office with Kiichiro Hiranuma.

"Prime Minister, the current situation is actually very unfavorable to the empire!" Hideki Tojo said to Kiichiro Hiranuma as soon as he sat down.

"Hey, what's the solution now? You've seen it with Your Majesty. He thinks the empire is very strong now. In fact, he doesn't know that China is not as weak as expected. Show you a piece of information!" Kiichiro Hiranuma said, holding a document and handed it to Hideki Tojo.

Hideki Tojo took it, unbuttoned the file bag, then looked at it carefully with the documents, and found that it was a investigation report recorded in the Mongolian desert near China.

"This report was discovered by our detectives in the ground there. They found a large number of planes taking off. These planes are not China's current planes. According to their observations, in three days, they saw no less than 600 new aircraft taking off.

These aircraft are very fast and very large. Judging from the appearance, they are fighters. Our Type 16 fighter jets cannot be an opponent, and they also have their tanks. Although we have developed new tanks, they are only more advanced than China's Type 40 tanks. However, we still don't know whether we can win on the battlefield.

Also, China's Type 40 tanks have been equipped for a year and their performance has been tested on the battlefield. Our tanks have not been on the battlefield yet. Now we don't know whether our empire troops can defeat China's troops.

As the mainland minister, you will be under great pressure in the future. I originally wanted to say today that we would shrink our defense line, withdraw our troops in Manzhouli, relocate our factories on the island, and then withdraw our people over us, give up attacks on China, and concentrate on attacking the United States.

China, let Germany fight. If we win in the Americas then, it is OK to fight China again. Now we are fighting on the second line, no, in the future, we will soon be fighting on the fourth line, Manzhouli, America, Southeast Asia, and India, if we add combat troops from the Far East, it will be fighting on the fifth line.

This is a huge disaster for the empire, whether it is soldiers, our industry or economy. I originally thought that I would give up the Far East, give up India, concentrate on attacking America, and defend Southeast Asia." Kiichiro Hiranuma said to Hideki Tojo, who was still looking at the intelligence.

"Prime Minister, this is impossible. I think not only will His Majesty agree with your opinion, but even the generals of our army and navy will not agree. They now see that the German troops are about to defeat the Soviet Union. They believe that our troops will soon be able to invade China again." Hideki Tojo closed the document and spoke.

"So, now our empire looks very powerful, but have you ever thought about it? If Chinese troops blocked the German attack, what does it mean to the empire?

Germany's supply line is so long, they will definitely not attack China's troops for a long time. Once the German troops' attack is frustrated, I think they will definitely retreat immediately. In Asia, can we defeat China? Do you think it can be defeated?" Kiichiro Hiranuma said as he looked at Hideki Tojo.

"No, if China can really defeat Germany's attack, it means that the combat effectiveness of their troops is very strong, and it is not something we, Japan, can compete with!" Hideki Tojo shook his head and said.

"So, now, the future of our empire is full of risks. Once Germany cannot win, we may lose our country and the race!" Kiichiro Hiranuma said worriedly.

"Extinguished?" When Hideki Tojo heard this, he looked at Kiichiro Hiranuma in surprise!

"What do you think, our troops have killed so many people in India, Southeast Asia, and China. Think about it, if we are defeated, even if we want to surrender, maybe neither China nor the United States will allow us to surrender.

They will land and kill everyone in our empire. This is revenge. Do you think China will revenge? Do you think the US will revenge? Our empire's troops have killed millions of American prisoners in the Americas!" Kiichiro Hiranuma said sternly at Hideki Tojo.

"Haga!" When Tojo Hideki heard this, he closed his eyes in pain.

"Today His Majesty is still proud of the massacre in India, believing that this massacre has preserved our control over India and retained more than 2 million troops we have there.

Think about it, once we are defeated, what kind of treatment will our empire people be treated? There are not many young people in the empire now. If we are defeated, all the young people in the army will be killed, and then all the people in various science academies will be killed, followed by intellectuals.

Perhaps in less than 20 years, our newly born people will not know the history of Japan, or in other words, our empire will have no history at all! It will be erased by those countries." Kiichiro Hiranuma said with great concern.

When Hideki Tojo heard this, he nodded, but he had no choice. Although their senior generals could control the troops, the officers at the grassroots level below were towards the Emperor.

Just like this Indian massacre, Okamura Yasuji gave an order not to massacre. As a result, they themselves don’t know how many people they have killed.

There is also the Soviet Union. If it weren't for India, the Soviet Union wouldn't have placed so many troops in the Far East. However, after hearing the massacre of Japan in India, the Soviet Union immediately increased its troops in the Far East. They did not want the people of their country to be massacred by Japanese troops!

"Prime Minister, what should we do now?" Hideki Tojo asked as he looked at Kiichiro Hiranuma.

"If we are defeated in Manzhouli, then we must contact China. No matter what the price we pay, we must contact them. Also, Wang Jingwei, if necessary, will be handed over to China.

They can't die yet. Let's see if we can use Wang Jingwei to exchange for the lives and safety of our expatriates in China. Once we are defeated, we cannot protect the people in other places. Only the people in China, I think we must find a way.

China is a civilized country. They will not easily do the slaughter of the people. If we give China enough benefits before we are defeated, we hope that they can protect our expatriates and leave the last seeds for our empire.

Our expatriates are not bad in China now. Although they do not have freedom and do not eat well, they can eat enough and not be abused by China. This is something China is very good for us.

So, Tojo-kun, I hope you can continue with the next order. In the future, no matter who we catch Chinese people, we cannot kill or abuse them. We can use that person to negotiate with China, or let it go directly, and China will give our empire a chance!" Kiichiro Hiranuma looked at Hideki Tojo and spoke seriously.

"Hey, no one in our troops dares to attack the Chinese people. Even the Chinese expatriates in Australia live very well here. We did not deliberately target them. On the contrary, we are also very nice to them. I think the troops below will definitely implement this order!" Hideki Tojo said with his head down.

"Yosi, I just hope this is the case. I hope you remember that China, we cannot defeat it. Even if Germany tore through China's defense, China will not be defeated. On the contrary, Germany will be dragged to death.

Think about the Song Dynasty in China, think about when we launched an invasion of China, who didn’t think we would end the battle in China in 3 months. As a result, you see that the Song Dynasty dragged down several countries, and China now will also drag down our empire.

In the future, Germany will also be dragged down. We claim to know China. In fact, we have not understood the essence of Chinese culture at all. In this country, we are enemies of them. I am now scared and very scared." Kiichiro Hiranuma sat there, speaking in a very low mood. Hideki Tojo nodded when he heard it.

"Prime Minister, what if we can invade China? In other words, can we quickly kill China's large-scale troops?" Hideki Tojo thought for a moment and looked at him and asked.

"That's it. We cannot massacre the Chinese people. Otherwise, retribution will definitely fall on our empire. Think about the millions of expatriates in China's hands!" Kiichiro Hiranuma said.

"Hi!" When Tojo Hideki heard this, he nodded and said seriously.

However, at this time, in Xi'an, the two commanders had dinner together at night. When other senior cadres saw them getting along so harmoniously, they had no way to believe that a year ago, they were all thinking about killing each other.

After dinner, the two commanders walked in front, and the cadres behind followed behind.

"It's been a long time since I've been so idle!" Commander Jiang looked at the stars in the sky as he walked. Although the weather was a little cold, everyone was wearing coats. In addition, spring was about to enter, so it was not that cold.

"Well, so do I. I hope that in the future, we will work harder than we have. If we don't work hard, our descendants will point at our tombstone and scold us!" Commander Mao looked up at the stars in the sky and said with a smile. The cadres behind him nodded when they heard it.

"I hope that next year, next year, we can all be together, walking in the garden and looking at the stars. Next year, we will have such leisure and leisure!" Jiang Tongshuai also looked up at the stars in the sky and said with a smile.
