"What am I waiting for?" Okamura Niji shook his head and said to himself, "I don't know either. I just think that it's not the time for the general attack."

Ishihara Kaner held his forehead with his hands, not knowing what to say.

...

In a blink of an eye, another half month passed.

Time has come to the end of August 1940.

At this time, something big happened on the European battlefield!

The complete failure of the Sea Lion Plan made the Head of State realize the cruel fact that forcing Britain to surrender had become an impossible task.

But except for Britain, the whole of Europe was already crawling under the iron hooves of the Germans.

Apart from the huge Soviet Union, Germany could no longer find new enemies in Europe! But the German war machine was already starting at full speed and could no longer stop!

If the head of state presses the pause button of the war machine at this time, then he will be involved in the battlefield machine and torn apart, and he and all the Germans will be involved in it!

In this case, the head of state has no other choice.

The only way out is to launch a war of destruction against the Soviet Union!

Only by launching a war against the Soviet Union can Germany, the already burning war machine, bring out all its potential, and only by annexing the entire Soviet Union can Germany make up for Germany's consumption! Only by annexing the Soviet Union can Germany have the opportunity to restore it to a normal country!

As a result, the Barbarossa plan was launched.

Compared with another space-time, the Barbarossa plan for this space-time is ten months ahead of schedule!

At three o'clock in the morning on August 29, 1940, the German army assembled 190 divisions of 5.5 million men, more than 6,000 combat aircraft, more than 5,000 tanks, more than 50,000 cannons and more than 200 warships, and divided them into three armies, launching large-scale attacks in the Soviet Union from the north, middle and south directions toward Leningrad, Moscow and the Transgaoso!

The news spread and the world shook!

...

When the news reached the United States, Roosevelt could no longer sit still.

Roosevelt asked his life secretary to push his wheelchair into the Capitol and gave a speech to the MPs attending the meeting before the concession bill.

"Gentlemen, **German's claws have now reached towards the Soviet Union!"

"Gentlemen, give up unrealistic fantasies. It is impossible for the Soviet Union to stop the steel chariot of Germany alone!"

"Once the German tanks were allowed to crush the Soviet Union, their iron hooves would cross the Bering Strait and enter Alaska, and then cross Canada and enter the United States!"

"Gentlemen, please look at the world map!"

"Now the whole world has been burned red by war, and I can't find another piece of pure land!"

"It is no longer possible for America to maintain its transcendent position as in the last World War!"

"Gentlemen, America is inevitably involved in this war, and it is impossible for us to survive alone. Therefore, the sooner we intervene in this battlefield, the more beneficial it will be to our situation! If the Soviet Union falls and Britain falls, we will have to face the entire *** Alliance alone!"

...

When Roosevelt gave a speech in Congress, Hirohito also urgently convened the Minister of Military Affairs late at night to convene a meeting of the imperial court.

Foreign Minister Arida Hachiro arrived the last time, and all the dozen ministers who were qualified to participate in the imperial meeting were already here. These dozen people, together with Hirohito, were undoubtedly the most powerful group of people in Japan.

Although it was already late at night, Hirohito was excited by the outbreak of the Soviet-German War.

"You guys, the war has started! The war has finally started!" Hirohito waved his fists and said viciously, "The opportunity for the Great Japanese Empire has finally arrived!"

"Your Majesty, will the empire declare war on the Soviet Union?" asked Arida Hachiro.

Just now, the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a note to Japan, demanding that Japan follow Germany and formally declare war on the Soviet Union based on the agreement of the three Axis alliance of Germany, Italy and Japan.

"No!" Hirohito waved his hand and said, "The enemy of the empire is not the Soviet Union!"

"Yes, the enemy of the empire is not the Soviet Union!" Xianyuan Jae-in continued, "The enemy of the empire is China! It is time to carry out a national mobilization and completely destroy China!"

This is undoubtedly a very cruel fact.

The Sino-Japanese War broke out in 37 years to the present, and lasted for three years. Most of China's territory has been burned red by the war, but Japan did not mobilize the war and did not even enter the wartime system!

In other words, until now, Japan is still operating in accordance with the normal system.

However, once a general mobilization is carried out, once the entire country enters the wartime system, the energy that can burst out in a short period of time will undoubtedly explode five or even ten times.

Let me give you a very simple example, the number of troops!

Since the Sino-Japanese War has been held, with the Kwantung Army, the total number of Japanese troops stationed in Chinese territory is only 1.5 million, and with the North Korean and local troops, there are still less than 2 million.

But once it is mobilized in a total way, Japan can mobilize at least another 6 million army!

The other is military expenditure. Last year, the whole year of 1939 was equivalent to USD 1.9 billion.

However, once the wartime system is transferred to the wartime system and the rationing system is implemented nationwide, and expenditures in all aspects are reduced to a minimum, thereby concentrating most of the expenditures on the military, at least US$10 billion can be mobilized.

In other words, if Japan really enters the wartime system and conducts a total war mobilization, it can at least burst out with more than five times its combat power!

Moreover, if all the explosive combat power is used on the Chinese battlefield, the final result is really hard to tell!

Of course, such an outbreak cannot be sustained. At most, only three years will Japan's national strength be completely exhausted, and it will not be able to recover for a long time. Even if you win, it will not be worth the loss!

So Hirohito waved his hand and said, "The ultimate enemy of the empire is not China, but America!"

"So, war mobilization is impossible. Unless the empire faces the threat of life and death, war mobilization is never possible!"

"But it is necessary to enter the wartime system!"

"From tomorrow, the material allocation system will be implemented nationwide!"

"The empire must concentrate all its resources and prepare for a great war with America!"

"And the most urgent task is to give priority to solving Yinjiang and eliminating the troubles in China!"

"The Army Department immediately mobilized again, formed ten divisions, and entered the Zhejiang-Fu War within one month, and strived to completely defeat the main Chinese forces in the Zhejiang-Fu War Zone within two months!"

"In three months, the empire must be prepared for war against America!"
Chapter completed!
