"I don't think it's the best time to advance north." Horitiki said, "The Indian war has not yet ended, and the situation in the South China Sea is in a stalemate. The US military is eyeing the northward direction. There is no power, no supplies, and no friendly troops. I'm afraid that the war in Xianbei Leah will repeat... "

The war in Xianbei Liya is the war of interference with the Soviet Union after the October Revolution. In order to embezzle the Far East and Siberia, Japan sent more than 80,000 troops. After five years, it invested more than 900 million yen (the currency value in the 1920s) to 2 years of naval military expenditure, and could build 20 Kagas. In the end, the troops were withdrawn and nothing was obtained.

This huge military expenditure eventually became a huge burden for Japan, causing most of the money it earned in World War I to flow out again, which is also the reason why Japan's economic problems were so great in the 1929 economic crisis.

Everyone's hearts were terrified, and Hori Teiki's words were very directed.

"From the situation in Delhi, we can draw conclusions that if the enemy fights to the death, our army will have to pay a huge price. The Russians are not as good as German armored troops in plains and fields, but the level of defense in cities is not bad, otherwise there will be no victory in Moscow Defense. The German army will no longer fight against big cities and focus on eliminating opponents in field battles. These are all written in the inspection team report. Compared with Germany, our army is not as good as in training level or equipment, and the Far Eastern Red Army faced without the consumption of attacks on the European war, and the gap between them is far smaller than that of the Soviet-Germany, so I dare to conclude that attacking with a small force will lead to failure." Horitiki said slowly, "And from a political perspective, since Germany chose to allow Stalin and Red Russia to exist and have Asian territory, it means that Germany has no intention to erase the Bolsheviks. What is the reason? Have you considered it?"

Everyone was shocked, and King Minor Higakurimiya became solemn: At first, everyone only thought that Germany was concerned about casualties and was unwilling to be distracted by the war between Europe and the United States, but from Hori Teiki's inference, it was a lot of trouble.

"So..." King Minorhiko Higashiramiya slowly said a possibility, "Germany wants to defeat the alliance? Or at least use Soviet Russia to restrain us?"

Hori Teiki sighed: "It is impossible to betray the alliance in the short term, and it is not true that it is restrained in the short term. However, as the war between Europe and Russia gradually advances, our relationship with Germany is undergoing subtle changes. Do you feel it?"

Yamamoto Izuru and others nodded with heavy expressions.

The relationship between Japan and Germany is still very good now. Even though Japan has been pushing for three obstacles and four resistances and refuses to engage in a second Western Expedition, Germany has not said much. The new carrier-based aircraft, Tiger tanks, armored vehicles and even Me-262 were handed over to Japan. Japan proposed to ask for railway guns, rockets, etc., and it also responded very well as oil and other industries.

But there are several things that Japanese senior officials felt the subtle changes in Germany's attitude: First, Germany's credit limit is shrinking, not only does not add new credit, but the original excess part is also required to be filled as soon as possible. Although Japan has increased its exports of minerals, agricultural products, rubber, etc., overall, the materials are in a state of substantial overdue overdue and must be compensated with precious metals. More than 600 tons of gold and 1,400 tons of silver have been filled in. The precious metals plundered from India and Southeast Asia have been refilled in this gap.

Second, Germany formally proposed the territorial demand for mainland India, the reason was to achieve reconciliation and truce with Britain and retain a colony for Britain. However, the top Japanese leaders believed that this was Germany's intention to interfere in Indian affairs. They were dissatisfied but dared not express anything. Moreover, the emergence of the Spruenz fleet in the Indian Ocean Although the other party avoided the investigation in Madagascar, the first-time staff member Chiaki Matsuda proposed a point of view. What if the Germans insisted on putting the British in the continuous stream? This shocked everyone to sweat.

Third, Germany has been seeking peace with the United States, and the United States is also seeking peace with Germany. Even if Japan is slow, it will not be unaware of the relevant news. Although Germany has repeatedly claimed that it will continue to maintain its ally with Japan, if the United States offers conditions that Germany cannot resist, Japan's situation will be in danger. As for Japan-US peace, Japan has been trying and even preparing to return the Philippines. But now it seems that the United States would rather have peace with Germany than with Japan.

"In the final analysis, until the war is fought, Japan-Germany relations and power balance have become unbalanced. Germany has fewer and fewer demands from us. We have more and more Germans. German naval power is rising rapidly. Ito sent a telegram saying that starting from the end of this year, Germany's new aircraft carriers will continue to be launched. In addition, the Axis class has been rolled out in seven European countries. After the Battle of Iceland, he believes that Britain is likely to join this rank. He expects that if there is no constraint on resource supply and manpower, Germany can build 30-36 Axis class in a year."

"30-36 ships?" King Minorhiko Higashiramiya was frightened. Japan proposed to build 10-12 ships a year, which is considered a great leap forward, and it feels a bit difficult to achieve. Germany actually needs three times this power?

"It's not difficult to have 30-36 ships." Yamamoto Iroji sighed, "The shipbuilding strength of the four major countries of Germany, Italy, Britain and France is not inferior to us. Even if it's slightly inferior, an average of 6 ships a year is 24. Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands, Greece and even Western Russia also have some shipbuilding capabilities. Even if there are one ship a year, there are 7-8 ships. Isn't that more than 30? Of course, the time will be slower. This year, I can't even come out next year, but there will be a large-scale explosion in the second half of the year after. As for the personnel, I'm more pessimistic than Horikun. Who stipulates that these warships must be the German navy, and the Germans can recruit soldiers from other European countries to serve. How many foreigners are there in the SS? Even the American divisions have! It is said that the fight is not bad, at least the fight against the Russians is more powerful than the Germans."

"The most difficult warships are so easy, and aircraft and tanks are easier. Therefore, no matter how the Germans think, we cannot leave Germany yet, and even Russia should try not to offend them." Horitochi smiled bitterly, "After now, Japan is actually a country that needs a ceasefire as soon as possible."

Ishihara Kanir nodded, and the new equipment such as t-43/85, is-1, is-2, etc. have already known through the European delegation that Japan relies on. The No. 4 tank and Tiger tank are not invincible and difficult to deal with for the Red Army. Although the power of the Kanto Army has been much stronger than before, it is still not as good as the main force of the Russian army. Therefore, although Hori Teki's statement that he does not offend the Red Army is a bit abrupt, it seems very wise to him. Of course, this kind of thing cannot be said to the outside world. Hori Teki is right now, and the navy obeys the orders. Maybe it's okay. If he dares to "show weakness" like this, maybe "heavenly kills the traitors" will come. When he thinks of these red deer, he feels a headache. Why don't he die in India?

"Then...what do you think you should do?"

"My suggestion is to rent a piece of land from Russia."

"rent?"

"The military situation is turbulent and the public is excited. It is impossible to stop it. If someone can't be saved, it will lead to trouble, so you should move." Horitiki walked to the map and used a teaching stick to draw a circle on it. "It's enough to take down the northern part of Sakhalin Island. The Soviet army on it is not strong, and it has millions of tons of oil output. It can also close Russia's foreign exchanges, which is a great deterrent to the Russian army. But you should be more polite in name, not to mention Russia's cedes, but only to rent it to us. The lease period is 99 years, and some rent is paid every year. For example, 200,000 tons of grain?"

"This..." King Minami Tokuramiya Minori didn't feel sorry for the food, but the 199-year lease still made him feel unhappy.

"It's OK in 1999... If Japan remains strong a hundred years later, the Russians will not be able to take it back as usual; if Japan declines, it will be just right to return it. Stalin can maintain his face, and 200,000 tons of grain is also important to him, and the grain output east of the Ural Mountains is not that sufficient."

Tada Jun echoed: "I personally agree, but I want the navy to send a fleet to support us."

"This is no problem. The main force of the joint fleet will return home soon. The army has prepared its troops. We will go up and take it first and then issue a note to ask for a lease. Stalin agrees and rents it. If he does not agree, he has to rent it, but he must not declare war." Horitiki sighed, "In fact, the Soviet Union will target us in the next step. If we do not guide it, the risk will be great. The situation in the army is actually as dangerous as a thirst..."

"Tell me what you want?" King Minami Tokuramiya asked for advice with a humble look on his face.

"In the Far East, we will use 700,000-800,000 troops to support our army. Then we will go south from Xinjiang and Mongolia. How many troops can the Mongolian army stationed in Mongolia resist the armored assault on the grassland? If the Communist Party of the Soviet Union strengthens its alliance with **, the problem will be even greater."

"You mean to increase the troops stationed in Mongolia?"

"We need to increase our troops and continue to retreat. Wuhan can return it to Chongqing. It doesn't matter if the price is low. The remaining troops will speed up the contraction to the coast." Horitiki stared at the map and said word by word, "My opinion is very clear. If it is appropriately suitable for promoting the confluence of Ninghan, adjusting its policy toward China, and signing a peace treaty with the Chinese authorities as soon as possible. In the future, mainland China will no longer send troops except for some port cities and leased places."

This thought made Tada Jun feel shocked and blurted out: "Don't this meant a vain?"

"We won't be beaten for nothing, we took India."

"but……"

"The times will change... You guys, with Stalin's character, I suffered a loss on the Western Front, and it would be better if I didn't find it back in the east? He wouldn't be crushed to pieces? When the Russians swallowed Xinjiang, Tibet, and Mongolia, we withdrew from almost most of China's territory. Will China's most dangerous enemy still be us? As long as China and the Soviet Union are not united in one mind and we will have the space for India to maneuver, and life will be much better."

Ishihara Kanir, who had been thinking, stood up and bowed deeply: "I've been taught."

Hori Teiki shook her head: "I dare not say whether it can succeed, but at least this is the only way to keep Japan going. You guys, our prospects are very pessimistic..."
