"Mr. Prime Minister, if you cannot end the battlefield immediately, the situation of the Great Japanese Empire on the Pacific Front would be very worrying." An aide knelt on the tatami and said to Hideki Tojo, opposite the low table.

Regarding the severe situation facing Japan at present, this staff member has been a relatively tactful reminder.

As long as you are not blind, you can see that the current Japanese economy is completely supported by Kaya Yoshinori alone, and it is not as good as it is.

This is very similar to Germany's early military expansion. It relies entirely on the economic method of Schacht, a genius who created Mifu Coupons.

Economically passive and materially scarce. Since Japan launched the war, iron ore has relied on plunder, oil has relied on plunder, and coal mines have relied on plunder, but they can rarely be truly used to feed back to the domestic economy.

Most of these strategic materials that Japan can transport back to China under the interference of US submarines have also been invested in the "Greater East Asian Holy War".

In fact, it is easy to understand why Japan and Germany are now in a very different situation.

The German-occupied area is the essence of Europe, and the poorest place is also a pretty good area like Poland. Even if it is included in the Soviet-occupied area, railways, highways and even industries are relatively basic.

The Japanese occupied areas are different. Except for the Northeast where Japan has been operating privately, other occupied areas require a large amount of infrastructure investment in order to start output and profitability.

If you want to get rich, you will first build roads. The road conditions in China in 1940 were much worse than those in Europe, so I don’t need to introduce them in detail.

Under such a gap, the role that the occupied area can play is very obvious: if the German occupied area can have attributes of +10, the Japanese occupied area can only be considered attributes of +3 at most.

"What you said is right, but there is no good solution." Hideki Tojo lowered his head slightly and complained: "I have tried my best, but I still can't think of a countermeasure."

It’s not that he has come up with a countermeasure, but his countermeasures are not as good as others, so it doesn’t matter whether they say it or not.

The current collective consensus of the base camp is that it is best to find a way to end a local battlefield first so that more troops can be drawn and deployed to other battlefields to form a virtuous cycle.

It is precisely because of this consensus that the Army has put forward such a huge plan.

In fact, the Army's idea is also normal: Your Navy cannot get out of here in order to deal with the US fleet, so if you have to solve the problem, you can only rely on our Army, right?

The navy is helpless and helpless here: they are restrained by the increasingly powerful US Navy and dragged down by submarine warfare. They can only run around the Pacific Ocean and cannot deal with the powerful US in a short period of time.

Since the Navy cannot leave and cannot settle its opponents in a short time, it can only make plans on the Army.

However, when the situation was getting better, the Army itself started to argue again: The Army will be the main force next time, but it is impossible to determine which side to fight first.

The heads of the East China region hope to solve the problem of Chongqing government first, defeat China and then get along with each other.

The Kwantung Army faction in the Northeast region felt that it could take the opportunity to stab the Soviet Union in the back, divide Siberia with Germany, and then free the Kwantung Army and go south to settle the Chinese battlefield.
