The atmosphere in the palace was very gloomy and depressing. What no one expected was that Changyi would actually be captured. The most uncomfortable thing was that the independent division actually held a press conference for this and put down their wild words.
.This is tantamount to a slap in the face for the Japanese Empire. The clarion call for China's counterattack has officially sounded, the journey has begun, and the Japanese have been unable to defend. Therefore, everyone present is quite angry. If Zhou Weiguo were here at this time,
Each of these people could kill Zhou Weiguo many times with just one look.
At this moment, Nobuyuki Abe is also silent. He may be one of the few people who can control his emotions and understand the situation clearly. As the Prime Minister, of course he must stand up at this time.
"Your Majesty." Nobuyuki Abe spoke. At this time, he opened his mouth and attracted everyone's attention.
"Abe-kun, please speak." Emperor Showa's voice was a little low. He had passed the stage of being angry. He was already reflecting on whether they really could no longer stop the Chinese, and he had fallen into a stage of self-doubt.
He has always admired his grandfather, Emperor Meiji, so he always wanted to make Japan strong, so he worked hard to govern and launched a war when their powerful neighbors were at their weakest. He hoped to open up the Japanese Empire
The territory allows the Japanese people to live a good life, and even leave this small land. In his view, good things can only be owned by the strong. His neighbor was once very powerful, and their Japanese Empire
, they have been learning from their neighbor since thousands of years ago. Finally, they surpassed this neighbor, and they occupied one-third of this neighbor's land, and took countless wealth and resources from their neighbor's home.
He originally thought that his dream would continue until it came true. But now, their originally cowardly neighbors suddenly had the strength to resist him, which made him very angry. After being angry, he calmed down and treated himself
Suspicion arose. After all, the neighbor had a great business, but the Japanese Empire could not compete with it in terms of land or population. Originally, it used the advantages of its complete industrial system to make up for its lack of population.
It is precisely because of the shortage of population that the soldiers of the empire have no taboos in their neighbors' homes. They cannot wait until they capture the neighbors and find that there are still more people in their homes than in their own homes.
But all this was ruined by a young man named Zhou Weiguo. He used tactics to drive a wedge between the young man and his leader, but in the face of strength, he failed. It's not impossible for their empire to
He wanted to kill this young man at all costs, but if he did this, then the empire's strength would regress. Moreover, this young man had bombed Tokyo before, which made him a little afraid of this young man.
When people do something outrageous, the fish will die and the net will be broken.
"Your Majesty, colleagues," Abe Nobuyuki then said loudly, "Recently, the empire has been defeated one after another on the Chinese battlefield and has suffered heavy losses. This does not mean that the empire cannot defeat China. Conquering China is a long-term and lasting task.
Before the war, we were too proud and too confident."
Abe Nobuyuki's words poured cold water on most of the people present.
"China's Communist leader, Mao, once said that the fight against our empire would be a hard and protracted war."
"It's just like Taiwan. When we first got Taiwan, weren't the people there resisting? But what about now? How many are still resisting? Time will slowly make them accept us!"
"So, although China has counterattacked, where are they? Gaomi, Jiaozhou, Changyi, Jiujiang, Fuzhou, but Wuhan is still under the empire's defense, and Nanjing is still under the empire's control
, Peiping is also still under the control of the empire! Then, there are Luoyang, Kaifeng, Hangzhou, and five of China's six ancient capitals, under the iron heel of the empire!" Nobuyuki Abe's voice suddenly became excited, "So, in
On the Chinese battlefield, the empire has still achieved great results! Even though the Chinese have begun to regain some places, we have captured Nanjing, the capital of their Republic of China, so what do they have to brag about?"
Abe Nobuyuki's words gave everyone a shot in the arm. Everyone present was obviously in better spirits.
"However, it is a fact that the population and territory of the empire are not as good as those of China. It is a fact that China's military strength is obviously greater than that of the empire. Therefore, conquering China is a long-term war. Moreover, in the process, we
We must strengthen the ideological strengthening of the people in the areas controlled by the empire. Only by assimilating the Chinese people can we conquer this country! Just like the Manchus, the Manchus controlled such a large empire with such a small number of people. What the Manchus could do
If you get there, the Empire can do it too!”
"Similarly, it took the Manchus decades to take control of this once powerful empire!"
"So, Your Majesty, colleagues, please don't be discouraged. This war has just begun! But don't be proud, because our opponents have slowly awakened! No nation will fight in the face of foreign invaders.
Dare to be silent! As long as it is a war, there will be victory and defeat. Even wise men like Zhuge Kongming during the Three Kingdoms period failed in several Northern Expeditions!"
"So, Abe-kun, how should the empire respond next?" Emperor Showa was much calmer at this time. Indeed, as the leader of a country, he should not doubt himself like this, nor should he be so proud and arrogant.
"Your Majesty, I remember that the German Empire once sent us a telegram to remind us! That is, reduce the number of troops and focus on defense!"
"Are we really going to give up some places?" Emperor Showa obviously didn't want to give up.
"No, Your Majesty, we are not giving up! We are just focusing on defense!" Nobuyuki Abe said, "We have captured the key cities of the Chinese people, such as Wuhan, and we must focus on defense in Wuhan. Today, Wuhan is already the most vulnerable place facing the Chinese army.
Frontline. According to intelligence, the Chinese National Army has begun preparing a plan to counterattack Wuhan! We must fight this battle beautifully to show the Chinese people the strength of the empire! As for other unimportant places, the Chinese people will take
No matter how much you reply, it’s useless!”
Obviously, Abe Nobuyuki's words made everyone feel much better and also impressed everyone.
"The empire is no longer without defeat. At least, in the tactical deduction, we must include the independent division troops, because this is an unpredictable change! But it is precisely because of failure that the empire will become stronger and stronger!"
"Arigado, Abe-kun!" Emperor Showa was also full of fighting spirit at this time, "Yoshi, then, let's give a plan, focus on defending those cities, and how to connect the supply lines of these defensive cities!"
