“Prime Minister Tanaka, do you think we can win this naval battle?”
This naval battle is too crucial. The Japanese cannot afford to lose. If they lose, all the wealth they have accumulated through war and expansion may be lost!
The modern navy is a gold-eating monster. A main battleship is worth tens of millions of pounds. In addition to the maintenance and training costs, daily fuel consumption and weapons and ammunition consumption, plus the food, drink, defecation and wages of thousands of people on board, it is very difficult to maintain a large fleet. Some small and poor countries can never afford such expenses!
It is for this reason that the navy is called expensive. The arms of the tribes, any country with a slightly stronger navy, has invested a huge amount of money in the navy!
Although the joint fleet of Jiaoben is not the best in the world, they can rank among the top three in the world at this time. This third place in the world is obtained with real money.
When Zhaohe Tianhuang thought that this fleet that cost a huge amount of money and a lot of effort might be destroyed by the enemy in a naval battle, he naturally couldn’t calm down.
He now had some regrets, regretting that he shouldn’t have coveted any petty profits before, but was deceived by the British and sent the empire’s most precious fleet to the Atlantic to take risks!
“Your Majesty, you don’t have to worry so much. The soldiers of the empire are loyal to the emperor and will do their best to fight bravely. Instead of living in fear in the rear, it is better to prepare all aspects of the battle and reduce their worries as much as possible. In this way, they can go into battle and kill the enemy with peace of mind!”
Prime Minister Tanaka is not a military man, so he has no knowledge of military affairs. He can’t answer Zhaohe Tianhuang’s words at all, and he is also afraid of saying the wrong thing. If he says something wrong and Zhaohe Tianhuang remembers it and comes to trouble him in the future, it will be like asking for trouble!
For Prime Minister Tanaka, although the Combined Fleet is in danger of being wiped out, the situation on the front line is still unclear at this time, and it is too early to say anything now. Moreover
, even if the Combined Fleet is really hit hard or even wiped out, it will not affect them much.
The reason is very simple. The original existence of the Combined Fleet was to deal with the navies of the surrounding enemies. At this time, the enemies around them either have weak navies and cannot threaten them, such as the Celestial Empire with no defense at sea, whose navy has basically been Basically, they were completely annihilated. Whether there is a Combined Fleet or not, it doesn’t affect the United States to suppress them.
And countries with strong navies, such as Eagle Sauce and the British Empire, have been dragged into the war and can’t take care of them at all.
Originally, as the biggest imaginary enemy of the Combined Fleet, the Pacific Fleet had been completely withdrawn to the Atlantic. Their homeland was also invaded by the German army, and they had no time to spare. Therefore, even if the Combined Fleet was gone, it would not have any impact on the United States.
Their invasion of China and entering the Asian continent actually had little to do with the navy.
So from Prime Minister Tanaka’s perspective, he felt that recruiting the nuclear Tianhuang was too greedy. He shouldn’t have been thinking about the interests in the Pacific before and sending the Combined Fleet to the Atlantic to take risks.
In his opinion, the United States should not make unnecessary troubles at this time, but should go all out to Some of them put their energy into the war to conquer the Celestial Empire!
The Celestial Empire is vast, has a large population, and is rich in resources. Moreover, the Celestial Empire has a lot of fertile land and vast plains, which are the things that everyone dreams of!
If they can destroy the Celestial Empire as soon as possible, and then occupy these lands of the Celestial Empire, and slowly digest and absorb these lands, and turn these resources of the Celestial Empire into their own things, then as long as they patiently spend a dozen years or even dozens of years, after they have completely digested the Celestial Empire, they will have the confidence to compete with the world’s top powers!
Compared with the Celestial Empire’s more than 10 million square kilometers of land, the value of those islands in the Pacific Ocean is naturally not worth mentioning in the eyes of Prime Minister Tanaka!
The experience of the successful rise of the Third Reich has proved that even a continental country, in In the case of a poor navy, as long as their own strength is strong enough, then when they are determined to develop and build a navy, their navy will rise very quickly!
Ten years ago, the German navy was not worth mentioning, but ten years later, the German navy was already at the world’s top level. If the foot basin could occupy and absorb the entire Celestial Empire, their potential would definitely not be worse than the Third Reich!
Unfortunately, Zhaohe Tianhuang in front of him seemed to be too eager for quick success. He only saw some petty gains in front of him, but did not see the long-term benefits that could completely change the fate of the empire! Zhaohe Tianhuang nodded. Prime Minister Tanaka was right. The Bermuda Islands were 18,000 miles away from the foot basin. With such a long distance, they were worried about the frontline soldiers in the foot basin.
If they wanted to do something for this battle, the only thing they could do was to solve the worries of the frontline soldiers as much as possible, and encourage them to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country and fight bravely!
Thinking of this, Zhaohe Tianhuang’s eyes became firm, and he thought of a good way!
“Immediately draft a telegram and send it in my name to the commander of the Combined Fleet, Isoroku Yamamoto, telling him to let him and the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Combined Fleet fight with peace of mind.
In this battle, 50 million citizens of the Empire and I are paying attention to their performance on the battlefield.
The predecessors and heroes of the Imperial Navy are also watching them in the sky.
The rise and fall of the Empire depends on this battle.
I hope you will encourage each other!
”
Giving encouragement to the frontline soldiers and boosting their morale seems to be the fastest and most direct way to affect their state and help them fight!
However, if it is only encouraged to this extent, it is obviously not enough!
After saying these words, Zhaohe Tianhuang paused, and then added:”Let Yamamoto Isoroku convey my words to all the soldiers of the Combined Fleet.
The soldiers who performed well in this battle will be enshrined in the Yasukuni Shrine.
For some people who performed particularly well, the Empire will build a shrine of heroes in their names, and even use their names to command some unnamed islands in the waters around the Empire, so that their names and legends will be passed down through the ages and praised by the world!
”
When Prime Minister Tanaka heard Tianhuang’s words, he was shocked. Tianhuang’s attention was really a spiritual nuclear bomb.
