Chapter 261 Changjin Lake (8)(2/2)
As soon as the day breaks, Tanaka Yiichi will go to the imperial meeting. Even without attending, Tanaka Yiichi can think that when the current Prime Minister and Navy Minister Kato Tomosaburo hears such a statement, he will definitely ask a question, "Gentlemen, what do you think?
Where does the war end?"
The 'strategic end point' is something that Tanaka Giichi has not been able to determine until now. Tanaka's grand strategy does mention conquering the world. If the entire world is conquered, the end point will naturally be reached. However, Tanaka Giichi himself feels that,
It is impossible for me to see this end point in my lifetime.
