Due to the lag in intelligence and information transmission, Hori Teiki, who was still in the direction of Hawaii, did not understand the "doomsday trial". What he received was a battle report of a bloody battle between the main Axis fleet and the Atlantic Fleet, which was both defeated. Of course, Germany was very frank, the Americans were even more injured, and the Atlantic Fleet was almost wiped out.

But what puzzled everyone was that such great and cheering good news was not seen much joy on Hori Teki's face. Instead, his face was gloomy and full of thoughts. He locked himself in the Yamato cabin and pondered hard. Others, including Tsukahara, didn't know much about his attitude.

There is only one thing that everyone is convinced: the sir is not in a mood that everyone thinks is so good, and it may even be worse.

Everyone was inexplicably not sure how to speak. Finally, they recommended that Chiaki Matsuda, who knew the chief's thoughts best, to ask about the situation. This abnormal mood must be behind the roots that everyone does not know.

"Sir, are you still feeling sad about the asking price of lions in China?"

Hori Teiki shook her head: "This matter has passed, the real tricky thing is in the future."

In Hori Teki's opinion, the asking price of $100 billion was impossible for the United States to agree. He was completely crazy. He couldn't figure out why there were cautious troops such as Hirohitomiya, Ishihara, Yamamoto and others, and the cabinet would still put forward such unrealistic goals? But later the situation became clear that this was the tone set by Hirohito at the meeting.

As soon as Hori Teiki went out to sea, Hirohito, who was unrestrained, became active again. He was reluctant to take Hawaii. All parties in the government and opposition were extremely anxious. Finally, the Navy received a steady stream of supplies due to the redemption policy, which made the country very satisfied. According to the Navy's requirements, except for selling in Shanghai, all items suitable for personal and family use should be distributed in China to commend meritorious soldiers and provide pensions to the families of those who died in battle.

This trick was learned by Hori Teiki from Germany's act of allocating spoils according to medals. The original intention was to stimulate morale and soothe the people, but he ignored it intentionally or unintentionally: Germany is a developed capitalist country. Although it is happy to allocate this spoil for the people, it is not so excited that it is difficult to suppress itself for this little thing; while Japan is a country that is used to suffering. Except for a small group of chaebols, the rest that sees these Americans from the top to bottom, all their faces are red and their eyes are green, which stimulates greed.

In addition, the Army was already worried that all the strength could not be used because of the end of all wars. It put forward the demand for "strike Australia and New Zealand", believing that the Americans could not maintain it in the Western Pacific at all, and that "the heavens would not take the blame for the rebellion." The Kanto Army, with its newly crafted equipment, continued to show its power on the border of the East and Russia, and had the intention of advancing north. King Minorhiko Higashikuramiya and Ishihara could not ignore the voices of the grassroots. Finally, the two things that Hori Teiki told him before going to sea were not allowed to attack Australia and New Zealand, and they were not allowed to advance northward to provoke East and Russia.

In order to explain to the government and the opposition, the demand for a $100 billion in compensation (actually 130 billion, because the United States is also responsible for paying off Japan's debt to Germany) was released in this context. Of course, the base camp also knew that this was impossible, but to block the mouths of the people below, they could only sing high-profile.

Although Hori Teki firmly opposed this kind of lion's big talk, the people and grassroots did not know the actual situation. Instead, they believed that Hori Teki, who besieged Hawaii and continuously provided supplies to the country, was "the savior of Japan's dominance in the world". Considering that his military rank was no longer available, he was thinking about what honors he had given him. Some people said that he would be awarded the title of Prince, which would have exceeded that of all generations. Fortunately, everyone's minds have not completely broken down, and no one dared to mention the title of "General of the Conquering the Wild", otherwise Hori Teki would go to "Yannan".

"What's the future?" Matsuda Chiaki pondered, "If it weren't for the Americans' redemption every day, the two islands of Hawaii should have been in the pocket of our army. Now Americans are in a hurry and even officers and pilots are redeeming, it's unimaginable that they can still fight to save such troops?"

Hori Teiki shook her head: "What you see is the Americans foolishly saving people who need not be saved. What I see is the American strategy. If I didn't go to Tarawa to save people, would I have the combat effectiveness of Shibazaki Keiji and the Marines? Did I look quite stupid at that time?"

Chiaki Matsuda subconsciously retorted, "Tarawa, our army has fought to the last moment, and the Americans won't fight."

"If Americans are so afraid of death as you said, why are they still unwilling to fight after fighting for so many years? And even though they know that the strength comparison is very unfavorable, isn't it the style of the Army Malu who is forced to rush forward to death?"

Matsuda Chiaki smiled embarrassedly: Brave and fearlessness and Jade Pig Torture are actually only between the front lines, so it is not easy to distinguish them carefully.

"Okay, I know what you think, you probably came to ask me about my abnormal behavior these two days." Horitiki sighed, "According to the ideas of many people, the United States and Germany were fighting well in the Caribbean. After the fight, not only did the United States almost lose its main navy, but Germany was also seriously injured. He was even speculating whether Ozawa-kun did it on purpose."

"This" Chiaki Matsuda commented, "I believe he would not have such unfair thoughts."

"I believe Ozawa Jun won't, but that's the case. If you are a senior German executive, would you have other ideas?"

Matsuda Chiaki's face became a little stiff.

"The second point is that your so-called imperial navy is the world's strongest, and it is above the second and third place total. It seems very dangerous to me," Horitiki shook his head, "Many people seem to have forgotten how our army's combat effectiveness came from. Without the million-tonnage merchant ships and tankers provided by Germany and European countries, the advanced fighter jets and other equipment provided by Germany, and without the assistance provided by Germany in talent training, the joint fleet has such strong strength? Without the force barrier of the joint fleet, can millions of army red deer defend the existing territory and spoils?"

Chiaki Matsuda deeply agreed with this, but was still a little confused: "Germany has a good relationship with us now. We shouldn't be stuck in this regard? After the East China Sea earthquake, Germany has increased its assistance to aircraft and key equipment."

"Of course the relationship is good, but you owe a lot of money," Horitiki said with a smile, "If the Germans force us to pay off the debt, are you going to pay it back?"

"This" Matsuda Chiaki looked very embarrassed. He said he would not pay it back. The Germans easily stopped the follow-up armament. He said he would pay it back, where can I find so much money?

"No wonder the chief agreed to the Americans to buy civilians and military personnel in Hawaii."

"War is about making money. Only considering how weapons are built, and not how funds come. Even if they succeed in a while, it will be difficult to work." Horitoki said, "Relying on Hawaii's funds can only maintain the consumption of the joint fleet during the expedition. If you really want to pay back the debt, you need great wisdom."

"for example"

"Return southern Indochina to the French, let France pay part of its debt to Germany for us; negotiate peace with the Americans in exchange for the necessary security guarantees of the United States and pay off its debt to Germany. According to your statement, the United States is now being beaten to a slump. What are we afraid of?"

Chiaki Matsuda was speechless: At that time, the American Atlantic Fleet was still very strong. Senior naval generals believed that the 130 billion compensation requirement was indeed too high. Now that the war has been over, the United States has suffered a lot of casualties. Not to mention 130 billion, many people think that the offer of 200 billion should be rated.

"Sir, I can understand what you said, but unfortunately, it's not necessarily true that the country is willing to listen. Not to mention that radicals can't listen, even Minister Yamamoto and General Ishihara, who are stable people like them, may not be able to accept them. Although they are politicians, they are still soldiers at heart."

"This is where I suffer. With the reversal of the naval strength, the US military has further weakened, and the US-German peace talks are getting closer and closer. The German head of state is much more rational than you. He never thought of conquering the United States. He did not even annex France and Britain, which are close to each other, how could he fight with the Americans to an irreconcilable? Don't you think Germany's attitude has quietly begun to change? We care about Germany's rocket technology, but the other party is not unwilling to give it, but has raised a high price and declared that this debt cannot be owed, because

France paid cash. Now that the naval strength is reversed, Germany cannot guarantee that there will be no other ideas." Horitiki looked out of the cabin, "For example, during the Three Kingdoms of China, Wu and Shu were certainly allies to fight against Wei, but there was still a battle between Wu and Shu. Now the United States is not as strong as Wei, and Germany is stronger than Wu. It is very dangerous for us to get stuck in the middle. Wei and Wu can join forces, and Wei and Shu can join forces? Ito Kazuichi pointed out the dangers of this situation in his investigation report, and we must be careful!"

Chiaki Matsuda was shocked: He immediately understood Hori Teiki's concerns and was afraid that Japan would become the target of public criticism. The so-called world's number one navy is actually very unsafe. As long as the United States and Germany have been given a year to recuperate and build ships, it is guaranteed to be able to restore to a balanced level of strength. In terms of potential, Japan is far inferior to Japan.

"So what the sir thinks?"

"I want to go to the country as soon as possible. I will ask Tsukahara Kwan to command the battle of Hawaii. Anyway, he is better than me in the war."

"It's good." Chiaki Matsuda nodded in agreement, "The current dynamics of the center are puzzling. You really shouldn't lead troops outside for a long time."
