Chapter 707： Countermeasures (ask for a monthly ticket)

The reason why the island country is so powerful now is entirely based on the victory of the two wars. The victory of the two wars that used the island nation's national operations as a bet gave the island nation a huge war dividend.

However, if this war is lost, it is conceivable that the rise of the island country will be completely interrupted. Even, they will decline again and become the objects of enslavement by Western powers.

Therefore, these military generals and politicians of the island country are absolutely unwilling to lose the island country in this war.

Although, in this war, the island country also used national luck to block it. However, they hope to win, so that the whole of Southeast Asia can be included in their rule. As a result, the island nation will once again get a chance to take off.

"No matter what, we must win this battle." Admiral Yatsushiro Rokuro said.

"Yes, this battle must be won!" Admiral Hayao Shimamura also said.

"However, the navy may not be able to fight against the German navy. Even if the combined fleet tries its best, it will not be their opponent." Admiral Ijuin Goro was a little worried.

"The status quo of the navy is like this. The cabinet can't let us commit suicide! After the German navy's expeditionary fleet arrives, we will hide in the naval port, and the Germans will have nothing to do with us." Admiral Hayao Shimamura suggested.

"Well, this is a good way. Or we can sneak attack on the transport ships of the Germans. When people come all the way, if something goes wrong with the transport ships, the consequences will be quite serious. Maybe there will be no fuel and shells The Germans with food, water and water may also surrender to us. In this case, the Imperial Navy can not only win a big victory, but can even use this opportunity to further strengthen our strength. Those battle lines of the Germans Cruisers are all powerful battleships with excellent performance!" Admiral Yatsushiro Rokuro said excitedly, as if the tactic they were considering would definitely succeed.

Admiral Ijuin Goro also had bright eyes. If the nine battlecruisers of the German Navy can be captured, this will make the island nation's navy a powerful navy second only to the German Navy. With the strength of the U.S. Navy severely damaged, they can even dominate the Pacific Ocean. Thinking of this, General Ijiin Goro was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

"Report! Your Excellency General, Your Excellency Prime Minister, please go to the Prime Minister's Office immediately for a meeting." The secretary reported.

"Well, go and prepare the car, I will go right away." General Yatsushiro Rokuro nodded.

"Yes, Your Excellency General." The secretary left immediately to get ready.

"It's probably a discussion about how to deal with the Germans. Yashiro-kun, no matter what, the Navy can't fight the Germans head-on. In that case, we have no chance of winning. We can only save our strength and sneak attack the German transport ships. Like this Only then will there be a chance of winning. The navy finally got its current scale, and we can’t let the horse dung of the army kill us.” General Ijiin Goro said.

General Yatsushiro Rokuro nodded: "Don't worry, I know what to do!"

When General Yatsushiro Rokuro arrived at the Prime Minister's Office, the other four of the five cabinet ministers had already arrived. At the same time, General Yoshimichi Hasegawa, Chief of Staff of the Army, also attended this meeting.

"Yatsushiro-kun, I'm waiting for you!" Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma said.

"Hi, I'm sorry, Your Excellency Prime Minister, I am late for my humble post." Admiral Yatsushiro Rokuro immediately apologized.

"No, you're not late, it's still early. It's just that everyone arrived early, so let's start the meeting early!" Okuma Shigenobu said.

"Hi!" General Yatsushiro Rokuro nodded.

"Everyone, according to the information we have received so far, the German expeditionary fleet has entered the Indian Ocean. It is estimated that in half a month, it will arrive in Southeast Asia. It will not be long before it will directly arrive in the sea near the empire. The German expeditionary fleet is menacing. How should the empire respond this time?" Shigenobu Okuma asked.

All eyes fell on General Yatsushiro Rokuro. After all, this time the Germans sent the Navy. Then, naturally, it is up to the navy to deal with it.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, we have already analyzed the strength of the German Navy's expeditionary fleet. We have to admit that the German Navy's expeditionary fleet is very powerful, far above the Imperial Navy. Even if the Imperial Navy is all added up, it is not the German Navy's expeditionary fleet The opponent. If you fight the German Navy Expeditionary Fleet head-on, the Imperial Navy will undoubtedly lose." Admiral Yashiro Rokuro said. Although admitting that it is not as good as the German Navy Expeditionary Fleet, it seems a bit too embarrassing. But now is not the time to be a hero, the most important thing is to preserve the strength of the navy as much as possible.

"Cowards! Don't you even have the courage to fight against the German Navy's expeditionary fleet?" Lu Xianggang Ichinosuke sneered.

"Knowing that the enemy is powerful, it is the behavior of a reckless person to hit a stone with an egg. Only you army horse dung will do that!" General Yatsushiro Rokuro countered.

Suddenly, Oka Ichinosuke and Yatsushiro Rokuro seemed to be about to start a fierce quarrel again.

"Okay, you all be quiet!" Okuma Shigenobu said angrily.

Oka Ichinosuke and Yatsushiro Rokuro stopped.

"You are all important ministers of the empire. Now it is the most critical moment for the empire. If you have the strength to argue here, you might as well think about how to deal with the Germans. The Germans are coming aggressively this time. If they cannot be defeated, the consequences will be very serious !” said Okuma Shigenobu.

"Your Excellency, the army is ready for battle. We have sent ten additional divisions and more than 200,000 people to Southeast Asia. If the Germans dare to come, we can definitely defeat them and let them know the imperial army's strength." Great. But it's a pity that the Germans only sent the navy this time, not the army at all." Oka Ichinosuke looked disappointed.

"It seems that the Germans are still focusing their energy on the war against the British mainland. Therefore, they did not send the army. However, the strength of the Germans is still strong, and we cannot underestimate it." Foreign Minister Takaaki Kato also said .

"Yatsushiro-kun, is there really no way for the navy to deal with the German expeditionary fleet? As long as the imperial navy can defeat the German navy without the Germans dispatching an army, we will win." Reijiro Wakatsuki looked expectantly. General Yadai Rokuro.
