When Li Yunlong dispatched six tanks to attack, Kuroda Ichiro had no choice but to request the dispatch of aviation troops within the Hacheng Command.

But at the same time, the island is also deciding a major event that concerns the overall situation.

In the island military headquarters, Navy representative Minei Hiro is sitting upright on the side of the table. Opposite him is the army power represented by Tojo Chicken, and directly above him is the Japanese Locust.

"Your Majesty, our Navy is ready, I think it's time to go south."

The Japanese Locust glanced at Minou, and then his eyes fell on Tojo Chicken's hands.

As the army representative whom he supported himself, the Japanese Locust still trusts the Tojo Chicken very much.

But even so, he could not blindly look at Tojo Chicken. After all, the current army has disappointed him, even very disappointed, under the command of Tojo Chicken.

"Tojo-kun, the policy of going south has been decided, but I seem to hear you have a different opinion?"

Tojo Chicken nodded: "Your Majesty the Heavenly Locust, I'm sorry."

"I think we should continue to stick to our previous viewpoint, manage Manchukuo well, and build it into an imperial strategic supply base. This is the only way for the empire to survive."

"Because of this, the empire can support war and fight protracted wars. The conquest of China must not be too hasty."

"And, it is really stupid to those idiots in the Navy to go south to attack Southeast Asia. Please consider it!"

The Japanese Locust frowned, and was really tired of this cliché and didn't like to listen to it.

In fact, at the beginning, the Japanese Locust thought so, because for thousands of years, the Japanese had a heartfelt awe from the top to bottom.

But with a series of incredible victories, a manic war craze appeared in the island, and the radical garrison troops quickly raised their heads. Not only were the soldiers and civilians tied up in chariots, but even the Japanese celestial locusts were unable to survive.

Originally, in the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese continued to win with a destructive momentum.

It also occupied important battlefields such as Northeast China and Shanxi, and this is why the army's popularity in the island country has been overwhelming.

Seeing this, those in the Navy could only calm down and watch silently as the Army continuously establishes its contributions and enhances its authority within the island.

But in the past two years, because of the appearance of Li Yunlong, they had difficulty walking and basically never achieved any major victory.

There is even a vague sign of being lost in Shanxi. These guys from the Navy knew that the opportunity was coming, and the loss of Taicheng was the best lead.

After Taichung and Takayama were lost, Minehiro proposed a policy of going south to the cabinet at the warning of Navy General Ioroju Yamamoto.

The ministers in the cabinet all knew that their country's resources were extremely scarce, and Southeast Asia's rubber and crude oil were war materials that island governments urgently needed.

If troops are sent to occupy Southeast Asia, the island government can plunder a large amount of war houses such as rubber and crude oil, save a lot of foreign exchange, and greatly alleviate the financial situation of the island government.

This proposal was quickly sent to the Japanese Locust. On the one hand, the army that was declining and was defeated, and on the other hand, the navy that proposed new policies that could alleviate the financial situation. The Japanese Locust naturally agreed to go south.

In addition, what made the Japanese Locust even more excited was that once the policy of moving south was implemented, their powerful navy would have a place to use it.

The total displacement of the island country's navy is second in the world, second only to England. It can be imagined its strength.

However, in the war between China and the Island Kingdom, the island country navy not only played a certain role in the Battle of Shanghai, but also exceeded the reach of several major battles in the subsequent large-scale battles, and could only be a spectator on the side!

This situation is definitely a great strategic waste for island countries with a strong navy.

It is because of this that the island country's Navy Department has long been unable to tolerate it. It has strong strength but can only watch from the wall!

If this continues, it means that the island country's Navy will miss this magnificent historical war!

Under the current fanatical torrent of **** war, this is absolutely unacceptable for young naval officers who are eager to expand their borders and make achievements.

In the final analysis, the battle between the north and the south is actually a battle between the island army and the navy!

The island army faction firmly advocated going north, attacking the Soviet army with Germany from east to west, and controlling Asian islands from land!

The Navy firmly advocated going south, first sweeping Southeast Asia, getting enough rubber, crude oil and other strategic materials for the empire, and then turning east to fight the Chou Kingdom to fight the strategic decisive battle in the Pacific.

Now the Army cannot gain much advantage in the Chinese battlefield, and the war also consumes resources, so the current situation is now.

Mine Hikaru smiled and looked at Tojo Chicken: "Prime Minister, I believe you won't know how scarce the supplies in our country are."

"The times are changing, and our policies will also change."

"When the war first began, your army did achieve good results, but the ultimate goal of the war was to understand the resources."

"Looking at the past few years, in addition to sending back a lot of Chinese antiques and money from China, your resources can be said to be very small."

"Now you are losing more and more frequently. Are you planning to let our island country continue to consume in such meaningless situations?"

As he said that, Mineguang turned his head and looked at the Japanese Locust and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's time to implement the policy of going south."

"We have the largest aircraft carrier in the world, even surpassing the Ugly Kingdom. Secondly, the 24 battleships of the Empire have been prepared, among which Yamato and Musashi are the strongest in the world."

"With such firepower, I believe that sweeping across the entire Southeast Asia is not any problem."

"Your Majesty, for the future of the empire, the army should stop all military operations at this time and provide limited domestic resources to the navy. We will definitely bring back more resources to the empire!"

The Japanese Locust nodded and his eyes fell on Tojo Chicken again: "Tojo Jun, Mine Jun is right, I have decided on this matter."

"The fleet heading south will dock from Liancheng, Northeast China to replenish supplies, so that you can prepare your subordinate Guandongjun."

"In addition, the plundered property in the Northeast region can also be sent back to China. Please cooperate with the navy and don't let me down again!"

Tojo Ji nodded unwillingly: "Hayi, please ensure that you complete the task!"

The Japanese Locust nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and left.

After the Japanese Locust left, Mine Guangzheng looked at Dongjoji with a proud look on his face.

"Prime Minister, I heard that you are going to capture Mike Ash and Zhu Kefu alive as bargaining chips. Please dismiss the attention of going south?"

"Your Majesty, I'll invite you here, where are those two?"

Tojo Chicken frowned, and at this moment she wanted to slash Mine Guangzheng in front of her alive.

Minei Kwang looked at the furious Tojo Chicken, then laughed and walked out of the command center.
