Six hundred and eleven. Papans Eagle Project

The Japanese seemed to be impatient to know what valuable information "Wilder" had brought them. That night, before Qingshui even moved, Wang Weiyi was taken to the Japanese Prime Minister's residence by a large group of Japanese soldiers.

Here, almost all the Japanese people in power gathered:

Japanese Prime Minister and Army Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, Navy Prime Minister Shimada Shintaro, Navy Combined Fleet and First Fleet Commander General Yamamoto Is 16

The information "bear" brought about by exposing himself and at the cost of his life and his son's lives has quickly attracted the attention of the highest Japanese leaders.

"Bear" is a trump card in Japan. These senior Japanese officials know that if this information is not important, then this spy who has been lurking for a full twenty years will not do this.

Especially in the current situation.

The war on the Chinese battlefield was not going well, and it did not meet the previous idea of ​​"destroying China in three months". Japan, which suffered heavy losses, began to expand to Southeast Asia since mid-1941, which caused dissatisfaction among the major powers in this region. In order to give Japan a little color, the United States frozen its economic and trade with Japan. The important one was high octane oil. Without oil, Japan's aircraft could not ascend to the sky, and ships could not travel in the sea, so Japan could not continue to expand externally.

In addition, Japan's oil can only last for half a year, and Japan understands that it either withdraws troops from China, stops foreign expansion, and moves closer to the United States diplomatically. Or it sets up its own flags, goes south to seize strategic resources, and continues to strengthen foreign aggression. With colonies from the United States, Britain and the Netherlands in the South China Sea, marching to the South China Sea is equivalent to declaring war on the United States, Britain and the Netherlands.

And this time the opportunity has come

On June 22, 1941, the Soviet-German War broke out in full swing. Japan, which failed to negotiate with the United States, decided to launch the Pacific War. On July 2, Tojo Hideki attended the Imperial Front Meeting. Under his agitation, he finally discussed and determined the "Outline of the Imperial National Policy to adapt to changes in the situation" and prepared to start a war with Britain and the United States for "advance southward". Because Tojo Hideki believed that "the garrison in China is a matter of life and death for the army" and absolutely "cannot compromise"; "If you completely succumb to the US's claims, the results of the China Incident will be destroyed, Manchuria will be difficult to protect, and North Korea's rule will also fall into crisis."

At this time, Prime Minister Fumiko Kotori still did not have the courage to directly conflict with the United States, and asked mainland Prime Minister Tojo to act "careful" in major decisions. Hideki Tojo said disdainfully: "Sometimes, we must also have the courage to do something extraordinary - just like jumping down from the Kiyomizu Temple platform, just close your eyes." Hideki Tojo also shouted: "I will not make any concessions when it comes to withdrawing troops!" If the withdrawal, it means "the United States defeated Japan - this is a shame in the history of the Japanese Empire"!

The nobleman, Fumiko Konori, retreated and announced the resignation of the cabinet on October 16, 1941. The day after the resignation of the cabinet, Tojo was nominated for the meeting of important officials to form a cabinet. He was selected not because he was highly desirable or an aggressor, but because he was dedicated to military discipline. People believed that he could control the reckless army in times of crisis, be loyal to the royal family, and be full of energy.

On the afternoon of November 17, 1941, the Emperor summoned Hideki Tojo and promoted him to general. He ordered him to serve as the Prime Minister as the Prime Minister and served as the Mainland Prime Minister. This made his status more consolidated than the previous few positions. At that time, Japan, on the brink of war, needed a fool who was traveling to landmines as a sign. The Japanese chose Hideki Tojo, and Tojo also consciously took this step. On November 18, 1941, the Tojo Cabinet was officially established. This was a centralized "cabinet" to start a war. Hideki Tojo alone served as the Minister of Land and Minister of Internal Affairs, and later served as the Minister of Culture, Trade and Military Forces, and the General of Military Affairs, and the General of Military Affairs, and the General of Military Affairs, gathering all kinds of powers. In the inauguration statement, the war madman clamored that "complete the China Incident and established the 'Greater East Asia Comprehensive Prosperity Circle'" was the national policy of the empire, and that the whole country should be united under the power of the emperor, and move forward to complete the holy cause."

A tough war cabinet has been established, but whether to launch a Pacific War immediately remains arguing within Japan. The defensive counterattacking factions and the proactive offensive factions have completely formed a serious confrontation.

In addition, the Japanese army was deeply trapped in the Chinese battlefield, and it is questionable whether it is capable of launching a new full-scale war, because it was not until November 1942, a whole year, despite the full preparation, the "sneak attack on Pearl Harbor" incident that should have happened long ago never happened.

Even Hideki Tojo himself was not sure.

When asking Yamamoto Izuru's opinion, the commander of the joint fleet told Hideki Tojo: The Pacific War will inevitably break out, but the question is when the time breaks out.

Previously, Yamamoto Iroku further and thoroughly improved the strategic thinking of the Japanese Navy. During the past 20 years, the Japanese Navy has been a believer in the Mahan sea power theory, and based on this, it formulated a gradual invitation to fight: light surface ships, submarines and shore-based aviation forces continuously weakened the US Navy during the Pacific Ocean. Finally, the main force of the Japanese Navy was in the Northern Philippines Sea. In a "decisive battle" between the Mariana Islands and the Ryukyu Islands, the traditional battleship artillery tactics of battleships against battleships were eliminated.

Yamamoto Iroku pointed out that this plan was not successful even in Japan's own wargame performance, and pointed out that the United States' real strategic advantage lies in its strong domestic production capacity. Yamamoto Iroku suggested that instead of defensive plans that hope to weaken first and then fight to the decisive battle, it is better to take the initiative to attack.

Yamamoto Irosaki hopes that if he can severely damage the US military in the early stages of the war, it may prompt the latter to sit at the negotiating table to seek peace early. The Japanese army hopes that this strike will give them a strategic advantage of at least six months and attack the Dutch East India resource-producing areas without obstruction by the US Navy.

But this is just an idea

At this time, "Bear" sent an emergency telegram to Japan, which only vaguely stated that it would bring about a major change in the United States' thinking about Japan.

The United States' attitude has a profound impact on Japan at this time, which is also a very important reason why these Japanese people in power are so eager to see "Wilder".

When I saw "Wild", Hideki Tojo endured his inner urgency and expressed his condolences to "Wild" for the unfortunate death of his "father" and "Bear", and then changed the subject: "Miyamoto, let's call you Weild. I heard that your Japanese is very good? You were born in the United States and grew up in the United States, but you did not forget your mother tongue. This is rare."

"My father has always taught me not to forget my motherland, Prime Minister." Wang Weiyi said respectfully.

"Ah, very good, very respectable." Hideki Tojo exchanged a few brief greetings and finally brought the topic to the question that all Japanese people want to know the most: "Did you bring back the information that your father protected with his life?"

"Yes" Wang Weiyi's face showed a "sad" expression: "Hurry one hundred thousand, the United States is about to launch a war against Japan!"

"Wow" and the entire conference room suddenly became boiling
