Japan, the Army Province, several army generals gathered together with depression and were discussing the attack on the Pacific islands.

In their opinion, the Japanese Navy's peak is the end of the world for them. The Japanese Navy is now invincible, and their army is simply a group of people...

The Great Japanese Empire had three main battlefields, the most important battlefield in China. In fact, Japan did not fight smoothly.

Even without the support of the United States, the Japanese offensive situation on the Chinese battlefield could not be maintained, which is certain.

A large number of Japanese troops were confined to the Chinese battlefield without much resources, which made the Japanese top leaders feel a great waste.

However, the attack had no direction and insufficient troops, which was the most trouble for Japan.

China is really too big. Most of the Japanese army is restrained in Japan's Chinese-occupied areas, maintaining public order and dealing with guerrillas.

Japan is not used to such a battle and cannot be solved in a short period of time. The problems on the frontal battlefield are becoming increasingly serious, which has caused headaches for senior Japanese officials such as Hideki Tojo.

Don’t think that without the constraints of the United States, Japan will achieve a perfect victory on the Chinese battlefield.

In fact, the fact is the opposite. It is because Japan cannot see any possibility of victory in the Chinese battlefield in the short term, so it is going to cause trouble in Southeast Asia.

Attacking Chongqing? Capture Yan'an? These landmarks seem extremely important, but for Japan, they are not the way to end the war.

After 1945, Chiang Kai-shek also captured Yan'an, but everyone could see the result, so attacking Yan'an to occupy barren areas such as Shaanxi was not a good choice.

It would only waste Japan's limited troops, disperse Japan's last reserves, and then take down a piece of land that is useless to Japan.

The result of attacking Chongqing was similar. The Japanese army could not confirm that it had already lost the National Government of its capital, Nanjing, and would surrender after Chongqing was occupied.

What's more, Japan has already raised a Wang Jingwei, which has blocked everything that Chongqing escorts surrendered may make Mr. Jiang a younger brother to Mr. Wang, which is more difficult than killing him.

It is precisely because the Chinese battlefield cannot be settled, that the Japanese Army Province has a debate on going north or south, and they really can't afford to move west...

It is easy to explain to go north, but it is just that the Japanese Army itself cannot explain how troublesome this matter is.

During the Battle of Nomenkan, Japan not only knew the strong army of Europe's mainstream power, but also knew its own shortcomings.

As a man, he has become a country's shortcomings and his shame is absolutely thriving. So the Army will not talk about going north and now he is calling for going south.

Going south requires the support of the navy to proceed smoothly. However, the navy is now focused on confronting the Americans in the Pacific and has no energy to deal with the army's junk.

As a result, the matter of going south became the Army's own one-man show. This is good, the Army originally advocated the southward strategy, but the Army had to complete it on its own.

Although there are no real opponents along the way south. Singapore and Malaysia were naturally taken down, and Vietnam and Laos also fought in one battle.

As for Thailand, they turned against each other, stood on the side of Japan, and became a solid ally in alliance with Japan...

However, during the process of conquering Myanmar, the Japanese army encountered great trouble: April and May were the rainy season in Myanmar, so the entire attack had to pause.

To put it simply, the Japanese Army finally discovered its shortcomings: its logistics support work is really bad.

As for how bad it is? When Japan attacked China, it had its own combat experience, that is, they usually only carry ammunition, and if the food is not fully raised, they can be collected on the spot in the occupied area.

This is not a normal collection, but a robbery of the enemy or directly robbery of the people during the attack.

The transfer of part of the logistics to the enemy is a clever and cunning place for the Japanese military, and it is also a choice that they have insufficient resources and low transportation capabilities.

The main reason for being so unscrupulous is that in addition to the cruelty and despicableness of the Japanese army, the most important point is that this tactic requires "that has something to grab".

When the Japanese Army faced the dense rainforest, there were no people or livestock here, only trees that were endless, and ferocious beasts.

Viper snakes and spider leeches can make a person die here. Although the Japanese soldiers are tenacious, they are also very troubled by the ecology here.

It is a bit reluctant to say that Japan knows nothing about the state here, but it is also a bit exaggerated to say that they know more about it.

Logistics supply must be transferred from Japan to Taiwan first, then travel south along the coast, bypass the Strait of Malacca, and transported to Myanmar.

Not to mention the long journey, when you are about to arrive at your destination, a large distance will pass through the Indian Ocean.

How could the British warships staying in the Indian Ocean make Japanese transport ships free and easy? In the absence of escort, Japan lost several transport ships, so it could only transport the supplies to Thailand first and then transport them on land to the front line of Myanmar.

This shows how much more supplies it will cost, which can be seen from His Majesty's expression that is like constipation every time he holds a meeting.

But if the attack is suspended and the top Japanese leaders are unwilling to lose their foundation, India is like fat on the chopping board. If Japan does not take it, wouldn’t it be cheaper for others?

Hideki Tojo, who had already believed that the Greater East Asia was successful in the success of 80 to 100, had put the Axis Group in the position of imaginary enemies at this moment.

In the eyes of these Japanese militarist leaders, if Japan cannot settle the United States and occupy India as quickly as possible, then India will turn to Germany, which defeated the Soviet Union.

Once India becomes a German-controlled area, Germany will be involved in Southeast Asia and threaten the "Chinese-occupied area" on which Japan relies on for survival from both north and south.

Therefore, the Army has been doing two things recently. The first thing is to build a fortress in the north, hoping to consolidate the defense line in northeast China with the forests and snow fields of the Greater Xing'an Mountains.

The second thing is to gather troops and prepare to invade India, and here we completely eliminate Germany's "wolf ambition" of continuing to advance eastward.
