Chapter 1509
Lieutenant General Kinoshita and his men rushed towards the US army's position.
Then, he saw dense trenches, massive artillery, and tanks like steel city walls.
"Can humans fight this?"
Lieutenant General Kinoshita was completely stunned.
No matter how arrogant he is, he knows that it is impossible to resist those steel tanks with only his flesh and blood body.
But, now, everything is too late.
Boom, boom, boom.
The artillery roared.
Howitzers smashed into Kinoshita's team one after another.
Kinoshita watched helplessly as his men were blown to pieces.
"The Americans are weak and rely on nothing more than advanced weapons. As long as the imperial soldiers are elite and courageous, they will be able to defeat the American army."
"I beg your Majesty to stop the naval construction plan. One battleship is enough to arm several divisions. Please think twice."
This has been proven in Luzon.
Massive amounts of banknotes were printed.
The Minister of War and the Minister of the Navy were happy, but the Minister of Finance was not.
"Besides, your navy can only get things within fifty miles of the coastline. What about things beyond fifty miles? Shouldn't our army take action?"
"Yes." Minister Tibet did not dare to say more.
They did not expect that Zhang Tuohai did not reduce the quotas for the two armies, but instead increased them.
Zhang Tuohai's order was conveyed, and the money printing machine began to operate rapidly.
If Kinoshita knew that Nagumo arranged himself in this way, he would have to crawl out of the ground and strangle Nagumo to death.
They had already captured the city. Not only did the opponent's army not surrender, but they actually dared to fight back and even wiped out most of their division. This was really beyond their imagination.
In order to celebrate his birthday, Zhang Tuohai generously announced that he would send a red envelope of 10,000 yen to every resident.
"As for the army, expand it to twenty divisions and recruit one million troops. These divisions will be sent to Southeast Asia after basic training, and then elites will be drawn from Southeast Asia and transferred to the United States."
The Minister of the Navy and the Minister of War were furious with each other. If Zhang Tuohai had not been present, they might have started fighting on the spot.
But things have already happened, so finding a way to shift the blame is the right thing to do.
But how could their legs run past the cannonballs?
As a result, reality gave them a hard slap in the face.
Kinoshita loudly ordered his men to retreat.
The firepower extended in depth, covering his entire division.
The two of them knelt on the ground, their eyes full of excitement.
Zhang Tuohai said loudly.
Seeing that the Minister of the Navy was adding insult to injury, the Minister of War, Tojo, naturally refused: "Humph, our army will accidentally fall into an ambush, isn't it because your navy's reconnaissance is not good? If we are given enough aircraft, we can do it."
The Japanese knelt on the ground and worshiped, thinking that they would become rich soon.
News that the Kinoshita Division was almost completely wiped out quickly spread to the base camp, shocking everyone in the base camp.
"Have no money? This is simple, just print as much as you need."
"Your Majesty, the new construction and military expansion plans require a lot of money to support, but there is no such money in the treasury anymore, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve it."
You must know that the salary of ordinary soldiers at this time was only a few yen, and the cost of a Zero fighter was only more than 2,000 yen. To many people, 10,000 yen was simply an astronomical figure.
"Your Majesty, issuing additional banknotes indiscriminately will lead to too much cash in the market, causing the devaluation of cash, wiping out the savings of ordinary people, and causing social unrest."
Nagumo is bullying Kinoshita for not being able to speak.
In the end, the two of them could not come to an agreement and had to ask Zhang Tuohai to make the decision himself.
The telegram stated that Kinoshita refused to listen to dissuasion and insisted on leading the troops deep into the interior. He was ambushed by the American army and lost most of the entire division. Fortunately, he was rescued by the combined fleet, otherwise the entire army would have been annihilated. He hoped that the base camp would severely punish Kinoshita.
"Retreat, retreat quickly."
Moreover, one million soldiers were recruited at once, which had never happened before.
"Your Majesty, the large-scale construction plan is the pillar of the country and the core of the country. If there are no warships, how can we maintain the empire's thousands of miles of sea territory? Your Majesty, please think twice."
This made the common people very happy.
In the blink of an eye, the two regiments were wiped out.
However, when making the report, he kept an eye on it.
The Minister of the Navy's eyes turned red when he heard that the army was actually planning to take action against his large-scale construction plan.
"In addition, the Navy will make a list of ships needed for the next quarter based on actual needs. I will approve it if it is reasonable after reviewing it."
Although the entire team retreated quickly, it was already too late. In the end, only a hundred or ten people ran out of the range of the artillery, and the rest were turned into broken corpses on the ground.
Kinoshita knew that he couldn't resist now and had to move in immediately.
They originally thought that the Americans were extremely weak, and as long as the brave imperial soldiers rushed forward, they would surrender.
Navy Minister Matsumoto immediately seized the opportunity and said: "Your Majesty, this kind of loss is all due to the incompetence of the Army, which led to such a defeat. I ask Your Majesty to punish the Army and allocate more funds to our Navy."
, we guarantee to capture all ports in the United States."
Zhang Tuohai thought for a while and said: "Both of us are loyal ministers of the country. The army and navy are the pillars of the country. Neither one can be given up. Therefore, I have decided that the navy's major construction plan will remain unchanged and will be accelerated. All
Workers work in three shifts to step up construction and must complete the battleship as quickly as possible."
Zhang Tuohai waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
Zhang Tuohai not only printed a large amount of money, but also started a large-scale money scattering plan.
"Baga," Zhang Tuohai slammed the table, "Now the country is in trouble. It's time for civilians to contribute to the country. What's wrong with issuing more banknotes? Anyone who dares to object at this time is a traitor and a traitor. Send military police to the country.
Street, arrest those who dare to oppose, send them to prisoner-of-war camps, strip them of their citizenship, and treat them the same as prisoners of war!"
Nayun did not dare to hide the loss of an entire division and reported it immediately.
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
"Your Majesty, you must not do this." Minister Tibet panicked upon hearing this.
He was afraid that if he said anything again, Zhang Tuohai would treat him as a prisoner of war.
Upon hearing Zhang Tuohai's words, the Minister of Navy and the Minister of War were overjoyed.
Old God Zhang Tuohai said calmly.
Dajian is his lifeblood and no one can touch it.
The survivors ran frantically to the shore and reported the situation.
However, in the United States, it is completely the opposite.
When there is more money, the value of money becomes lower without increasing the number of things.
They were surprised to find that the prices of all daily necessities had increased rapidly.
The price of rice increased rapidly from 2 cents to 200 yuan per catty, an increase of ten thousand times.
The money in their hands is only enough to buy less than 50 kilograms of rice, which is not enough for a month's consumption.
