If the army of an island country wants to expand outward, it must rely on the navy of the island country. This is impossible. Who let them be located in an island country in the Pacific Ocean? Without a strong navy, outward expansion is impossible. Therefore, even if the navy of the island country failed to win as they expected in this naval battle. However, apart from continuing to support the navy and expecting the navy of the island country to win the next naval battle, does the army of the island country have other options?
Unless the army of the island country is willing to give up its outward expansion, otherwise, they have to grit their teeth and support the navy. Other than that, there is no other way.
Although such an approach is a bit rogue, General Minai Mitsumasa has no other options. Who prevented the navy of the island country from winning this naval battle? You know, he also very much hopes that the island navy will win the war. But unfortunately, the reality is that there is nothing he can do. In order to strengthen the development of the navy, he can only use this method.
Immediately, General Minai Mitsumasa made a phone call to the Prime Minister's Office in person, and then went to the Prime Minister's Office by car. This time he hopes to calm the anger of the prime minister and the army and persuade them to continue to support the navy. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for the island nation's navy to further develop and grow. The battleships and aircraft carriers of the navy are all piled up with money. Without sufficient funds, it is simply impossible to build a powerful navy. Although in the previous two decades, the navy of the island country has squeezed out most of the military expenditure. But now, in order to restore their strength as soon as possible and become stronger, they obviously need more support.
When General Mitsumasa Yonei arrived at the Prime Minister's Office, Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe, Prime Minister Itagaki Seishiro, Foreign Minister Ugaki Kazushige, and Prime Minister Ikeda Narumi were already waiting here. Among them, Lu Xiang General Itagaki Seishiro looked at General Minai Mitsumasa very unkindly. Obviously, everyone has learned that the combined fleet has not been able to win the naval battle.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister." General Minai Mitsumasa greeted everyone and sat down in his seat.
"Monei-kun, don't you want to explain it to everyone?" Before Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro could speak, General Itagaki Seishiro couldn't wait to launch an attack. But Fumimaro Konoe turned a blind eye to such a faux pas.
Admiral Minai Mitsumasa sighed in his heart. He knew that other senior officials in the cabinet were already very dissatisfied with the failure of the United Fleet this time. However, he also felt very aggrieved. After all, they had done their best in this naval battle. It was not because their soldiers were greedy and afraid of death that they failed. On the contrary, the officers and soldiers of the Japanese navy are very brave. They even dared to fly planes into German battleships. This kind of attack is undoubtedly very admirable. The reason why this naval battle was lost was entirely because the German navy was too strong.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, Your Excellency Lu. In this naval battle, the United Fleet failed to win. This is indeed worthy of apology. However, Yamamoto-kun and the officers and soldiers of the United Fleet have already done a good job in this sea battle. We did our best. In order to win, our heroic pilots even did not hesitate to drive their planes to hit the German battleship. However, due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, we still failed to win. However, the main force of the United Fleet is still there, and we There are still a large number of battleships and aircraft carriers about to enter service. This will allow us to have enough strength to continue to compete with the Germans. I believe that the final victory must belong to us!" Admiral Minai Mitsumasa said.
Several cabinet ministers were also very moved when they heard that the carrier-based aircraft pilots of the German Navy bravely drove the plane to hit the capital ship of the German Navy. After all, in their view, this is already a very heroic act. Perhaps, the failure of the combined fleet this time was really because the German navy was too powerful.
But Lu Xiang, General Itagaki Seishiro, was very unwilling.
"Minai-jun, the navy has consumed most of the empire's funds over the years. The entire empire is full of expectations for the navy. I hope that the navy can win and create miracles. However, I did not expect such a result. Navy What you have done, is it worthy of His Majesty the Emperor, and the people of the empire who have tightened their belts and supported the development of the navy?" Admiral Seishiro Itagaki accused.
"Your Excellency Lu, the Navy has done its best in this battle. If Your Excellency Lu thinks that the performance of the Navy is not satisfactory and I am sorry for His Majesty the Emperor and the people of the Empire, then the Imperial Navy can withdraw from the war, or even be disbanded. All military expenditures are spent on the army." General Mitsumasa Minai finally launched a strong counterattack under General Seishiro Itagaki's aggressive accusations.
General Seishiro Itagaki froze for a moment, he pointed at General Mitsumasa Minai angrily, but couldn't say anything.
Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro and other cabinet ministers have almost the same expressions. They were all stunned by General Minai Mitsumasa's shameless answer.
After all, the importance of the navy is self-evident. If the navy gives up its pick, how can this battle go on? Just admit defeat.
General Seishiro Itagaki stared at General Mitsumasa Minai viciously. If eyes could kill, he would have already torn the body of General Mitsumasa Minai to pieces.
"Okay, Minai-kun, don't say such angry words. As the Minister of the Imperial Navy and the high-level empire, it is too irresponsible to say such a thing!" Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe said.
"Hey, Your Excellency the Prime Minister taught you a lesson." General Minei Guangzheng also went downhill.
"Hmph!" General Itagaki Seishiro snorted coldly. But he couldn't say anything more. If the navy really doesn't cooperate, then the army of the island country probably won't do much in this battle. Therefore, he had no choice but to pinch his nose and admit it to General Minei Mitsumasa.
"Minai-jun, whether the navy can win the sea control is related to our advance to Southeast Asia and Australia. The failure of the joint fleet this time will have a great impact on our plan. Does the navy have any remedial plans?" Prime Minister Wei Wenmaro asked.
"Your Excellency, the Combined Fleet failed in this naval battle, but it was only a temporary defeat. The main force of the Combined Fleet still exists. As long as it is replenished again, we will be able to challenge the German Navy again. At that time, We will definitely defeat the Germans!" General Minai Mitsumasa assured.
