On October 17, the Tojo Cabinet was nominated by the Council of Heavy Ministers and approved.
He was chosen not because of his high esteem or because he was an aggressiveist, but because of his dedication to military discipline, his ability to control reckless armies in times of crisis, and his loyalty to the royal family and his energy.
As a result, Hideki Tojo came to the stage to form a cabinet.
Japan has embarked on an ambitious preparation mode.
At this time, Japan basically completed the deployment of combat forces in the south; In 1941, Japan produced 6 million tons of pig iron, 5.5 million tons of steel, more than 5,000 aircraft, and 48 ships, including 5 aircraft carriers, 1 battleship, and 1 cruiser.
When the news reached Zhou Weiguo's hands, Zhou Weiguo was a little relieved, history still did not deviate, Hideki Tojo, a fanatic, came to power, well, soon, the United States will also be involved in the war, there is no neutrality, and the American people will also experience the taste of war in the world, and it will be wonderful because of it.
To tell the truth, the Japanese should have been very calm, but as a result, the independent division was peaceful for a year, and after a year, there was still no war in the independent division.
In addition, the heroic performance of Germany, the Japanese felt that since they were the Axis powers, then Europe should take Germany as the axis, and Asia should naturally take them as the axis, no, not only Asia, but the entire Pacific Rim The rapid expansion of self-confidence and desire has led the Japanese to go crazy at all costs.
Zhou Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief, since this was the case, he was going to start preparing for other things, let's say, a counterattack.
When Japan was mired in the Pacific War, it was China's best chance to counterattack.
But what he wouldn't have imagined was that he was haunted by other things.
At this time, the Soviet-German battlefield was still fierce.
On September 30, the Germans concentrated about 1 million men in 74 divisions, supported by 1,700 tanks and 11,000 artillery pieces, to launch an offensive aimed at capturing Moscow, which the Germans called the Typhoon Plan.
On the 13th, most of the Vyazma Group of the Soviet Red Army was annihilated, and the besieged army later broke out of the encirclement, and some remained behind enemy lines to carry out guerrilla struggle.
On the 23rd, most of the Bryansk Group of the Soviet Red Army was annihilated.
The Germans captured 580,000 Soviet Red Army troops in the Battle of Vyazmabryansk.
Only 85,000 Soviet troops broke through the German lines.
The Soviet Union was once again defeated, and once again in front of the eyes of the world, 580,000 Soviet Red Army were captured The dazzling numbers were presented in front of everyone, and they were all shocked.
Zhou Weiguo put down the telegram, looked at the momentum of the German army, and smiled.
In fact, in this time and space, because Zhou Weiguo traded the G43 rifle diagram very early, the casualties caused by the German army to the Soviet Red Army were much greater.
It's just that Zhou Weiguo doesn't remember the specific casualty figures.
"To destroy a man, he must first make him mad."
Zhou Weiguo sighed, what kind of magic does war have that makes a country and a nation fall into a crazy era, and there is definitely a lot of brainwashing of the Japanese people by the Japanese high-level.
Even in the later stages of the war, Japan was miraculously short of supplies, and many people could not even eat.
However, if he dares to invade China, no matter how miserable Japan's fate is, Zhou Weiguo will not have sympathy.
"Your Majesty, Germany was in the Soviet Union, and nearly 600,000 people were taken prisoner, and countless Soviet Red Army annihilated them."
Hideki Tojo stood in front of Emperor Showa, "Empire, it's time to show its fangs, let the world see how powerful our Great Japanese Empire is." ” "Yo Si."
Emperor Showa narrowed his eyes, "Tojo-kun, everything, please."
Damn the Yankees who have taken all sorts of measures to suppress the Empire, but they don't know that they are just lambs to the slaughter."
"Hey, now the empire has not yet completed some finishing work, once it is completed, then the empire will be unprecedentedly powerful, the empire's territory will be expanded countless times, and all this is done under the leadership of Your Majesty, Your Majesty will be an unprecedented emperor in the history of our Great Japanese Empire," Tojo Hideki thought to himself, and then said to Emperor Showa "Yo Sai, if all this is successful, then, Tojo-kun will also be remembered by the people of the empire" Emperor Showa smiled and nodded with satisfaction, as if he also saw that day.
"Hey, I'm going to do my best" "Yo Xi, let's go, let's prepare, let's prepare for the empire's conquest" "Hi" In Kagoshima Bay, a group of warships are in full swing training.
Yamamoto Fifty-six looked at everything in front of him, narrowed his eyes, the plan was finally approved, and he, also took the fleet to start simulation training, he believed that the plan would be successful, because, if it doesn't succeed, it will be successful.
"Your Excellency, Commander, it's getting late today, you see" "Yo Xi, let the warriors rest, tomorrow we will continue to tell the warriors that we are the most elite army of the Great Japanese Empire, our navy is invincible, this plan, once it succeeds, the empire's plan will be half successful" Yamamoto Fifty-six said lightly, although there was no expression on his face, but Yamamoto's heart was surging.
If he wants to fight the United States, he has never thought about it before, but since the empire signed treaties with Germany and Italy, it has become a sure thing to fight the United States, so in order to fight the United States, he came up with this plan Now, the implementation is imminent, and he has to work hard to make everything perfect In his opinion, they must use this sneak attack to eliminate the living forces of the US Navy in order to gain a firm foothold for the empire in the Pacific theater Yamamoto was well aware of the power of the U.S.
Navy, because when he was young, he studied and studied in the United States.
It was because he knew it too well that he made a sneak attack plan this time They may have a chance of winning against the United States, but the odds of winning are very low, very low.
The only way to improve the odds of victory is to destroy the living forces of the US Navy It's an adventure and a big gamble If they win, they will receive unprecedented attention and benefits for Japan If they lose, what awaits them is only to sink Zhou Weiguo returned to Jinan, and to tell the truth, he knew that the Japanese would not play tricks when they saw the navy, so he directly sent the navy over.
The information on the Soviet-German battlefield was still delivered once a day and placed on Zhou Weiguo's desk.
The Soviet Union is still at a disadvantage, but he knows that soon, the Soviet Union will rise to strength.
At that time, Germany should have regretted fighting on two fronts.
As for Japan, that day is almost coming, just over a month.
Zhou Weiguo is still faintly looking forward to it, in fact, he is looking forward to it.
Once that happens, no one will be able to save the Japanese.
It's just that after the war, Zhou Weiguo felt that the Japanese couldn't be allowed to surrender empty-handed, otherwise, how could they be worthy of the sacrifices of tens of millions of soldiers and civilians:
