BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1147: American persecution
"Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, the current war situation is already very unfavorable to Bu Russia. Although the Germans have temporarily stopped attacking. However, everyone can see that they are accumulating strength. In the previous war, Bu Russia Russia has lost two million troops. And they are still elite troops. Even though Bu Russia is constantly mobilizing troops. But it is conceivable that Bu Russia will be at a disadvantage on the battlefield next year. Once Bu Russia is defeated, The Germans will occupy the whole of Europe. This will be very detrimental to our anti-German alliance! Therefore, the US government hopes that the island countries can launch an attack on Germany as soon as possible!" said the US ambassador with a serious face.
The United States is not yet ready for war. If it wants to share the pressure for Bu Russia, it can only count on the island country. The US government hopes that the island countries can send troops to attack Southeast Asia and Australia, and then attack India and the Middle East after winning. These areas are the most important colonies of Germany. Especially India and the Middle East, the former is Germany\'s largest overseas market and raw material origin, while the latter is Germany\'s most important oil origin. If these two places are threatened, Germany will inevitably do its best to rescue them. In this case, it will be able to hold back the strength of Germany. For Buer, he was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Originally, the U.S. government thought that the island country was just a dog they raised. Even if the dog has been fattened up a lot and has become a wolf dog. However, the dog chain is still in their hands. Whatever they ask the islanders to do, the islanders dare not resist.
But now it seems that the government of the island country has resisted the request of the US government. This made the US government very unhappy, and some voices even proposed to stop supplying steel and oil to the island country.
"Your Excellency, Germany is our enemy. There is no doubt that we will go to war with them. However, we are not yet ready for war. If we go to war rashly, we may not have a chance of winning. Therefore, We hope to go to war against the Germans after we are fully prepared," Ugaki said.
"So, can your government give us a deadline? The patience of the US government is limited. If your country fails to fulfill its promise, your country should be clear about the consequences!" The threat in the words of the US ambassador is very strong.
"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, I will report to the Prime Minister. After that, I will inform you of the cabinet\'s decision." Ugaki Kazushige said. He also knows that the island government has not been able to make a decision for a long time, which has made the US government very impatient.
After fooling the American ambassador, Ugaki Kazunari rushed to the Prime Minister\'s Office and reported the situation to Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro.
"Although we knew from the beginning that the Americans are not a good thing. But from now on, the Americans clearly want to use us as cannon fodder and let us consume the strength of the Germans!" Konoe Fumimaro said.
At the beginning, the island country suffered heavy losses under the attack of Germany. If the United States had not extended a helping hand, it would be difficult for them to tide over the difficulties, let alone rebuild a strong army. Politicians in island countries also know that there is no free lunch in the world. The Americans did that because they wanted to support the island nation against Germany. Even so, they readily accepted American support at the beginning. Because, at that time, they had no other way. Even if they knew it was a piece of poisonous cake, besides swallowing it, did they have any other way?
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the U.S. government is already very impatient with our evasion. If we don\'t give them a clear answer, they may take sanctions against us." Ugaki Kazushige reminded.
Konoe Fumimaro\'s complexion suddenly turned a little ugly. Although, after more than 20 years of development, the island country has become stronger than when it was defeated by Germany. But as the prime minister of the island country, Fumimaro Konoe knew that all of this was just an appearance. The island nation can be regarded as a weak power at best. Once the United States stops providing support to the island country and cuts off the trading of bulk goods such as steel and oil for the island country, the island country will have no way to maintain a strong military power. What awaits them is a crash.
"Let Lu, Hai, and Zang discuss together!" Konoe Fumimaro said. He immediately arranged for the secretary to notify the other three cabinet ministers to come to the meeting.
The elders of the island country are all dead. Therefore, the power of the island country is now in the hands of the five ministers of the cabinet. There is no overlord on their heads, and these cabinet ministers can really decide the policy direction of the island country. They will not consult the opinions of the elders for everything as before, making them seem like puppets controlled by the elders.
Minister Itagaki Seishiro, Minister of the Sea, Mitsumasa Yonei, and Minister Ikeda Chengbin quickly rushed to Konoe Fumimaro\'s office.
When they learned that the Americans were persecuting them again, their expressions were not so good.
"Your Excellency, our military industry now relies heavily on the support of the Americans. If the Americans cut off this support, our military strength will be seriously affected." Itagaki Seishiro reminded.
Konoe Fumimaro nodded: "Then, is the only way we can go is to agree to the demands of the Americans?"
The other cabinet ministers nodded.
"If we go to war against Germany, will we be able to win?" Konoe Fumimaro asked.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, judging from the current situation, the military strength of the Germans is at its peak. Their performance in Bu Russia is too amazing. In less than a month, they fought Bu Russia and suffered heavy losses. If not Because of the influence of the weather, if the Germans took the initiative to stop their offensive, they may have achieved greater results. It is foreseeable that on the Russian battlefield, it will be difficult for the Russian government to resist the German attack. Even if they want to enter a stalemate It may take a long time, and it will take a lot of losses. Whether the Anti-German Coalition can truly defeat Germany in the end is still very hard to say!" Seishiro Itagaki said with a serious face.
Indeed, Germany is now at its peak. No one is sure that they will be able to defeat Germany. Even though the countries in the anti-German alliance are not weak, Germany seems to be stronger. It may take a long time to decide the winner.
