After a long time, Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace asked in a calm voice: "But will the North Korean army be able to defeat the Chinese army with these weapons and equipment and strength?"

"This..." Ishihara Waner didn't know how to answer this question. As soon as he hesitated, Toshishiro Obata took up the topic and said: "The empire can increase its troops to North Korea, but can't China increase its troops? At present, China's industrial strength It is 10 times larger than the empire, and its population is 7 times that of the empire... Therefore, it is impossible for the imperial army to gain quantitative and qualitative advantages in North Korea, and it is only a matter of time before the defeat and loss of North Korea.”

"And it's useless even if we can keep North Korea temporarily," Kenji Doihara interrupted suddenly: "According to the information just obtained by the intelligence personnel of the Empire, the Chinese have already produced the first uranium bomb in May 1939. A test explosion was also carried out in September, and it was a success!

In addition, Germany also provided information that China has developed a large-scale long-range bomber. This bomber uses four high-horsepower radial engines provided by the United States. The bomb load, combat radius and speed will be very amazing. of!We suspect...the large bombers were probably used to drop the uranium bombs on Tokyo! "

"Put the uranium bomb in Tokyo!?" Ishihara frowned slightly, looking up at Doihara.He has heard some rumors about this kind of bomb, and some rumors even said that the power of this kind of bomb is miraculous, saying that one bomb can destroy a city!However, Shi Yuan was skeptical about this.

"Don't worry about the uranium bomb, it's just rumors." Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace stood up and walked to Shi Yuan, and patted him on the shoulder: "Mr. Shi Yuan, I heard that you have some insights on strategy. So I would like to hear your opinion on the relocation of the entire Japanese nation to the New Japan State, is it possible to achieve it?” Speaking of this, he added with emphasis: “Of course, the entire national relocation is just a last resort, and the military will not Reduce support for the North Korean military."

This question makes Ishihara Waner very embarrassed. After all, Nagata Tieshan is firmly opposed to the relocation of the whole country, but Ishihara himself thinks that the relocation of the whole country is also a solution.And if Japan wants to implement the plan to relocate the whole country, it will inevitably reduce its support for the Korean army. As the chief of staff of the Korean army, Ishihara must also oppose it.

Shi Yuan smiled silently for a moment, finally nodded slightly, and replied: "The lower official thinks that the whole country relocation is feasible, at least it can be used as the last choice in unavoidable situations. But..." At this point, Shi Yuan's eyebrows gradually faded. Twist it up, a hesitant look appeared in his eyes.

"But what?" Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Gong asked.

"However, once the national relocation plan is implemented after the fall of North Korea, it will inevitably cause a great shake in the morale of the army and the people, which will be extremely detrimental to the persistence of the war of resistance in the mainland of the empire, so please think twice, Your Highness."

Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head: "If Japan's industrial base is completely destroyed by bombing, the entire fleet is wiped out, and all foreign aid is interrupted... I am afraid that relying on the people to carry out the final resistance will not win. It’s better to relocate the whole country, so that at least some vitality can be preserved.”

Chapter 0948 Korean War ([-]) Relocation Plan

Ishihara looked at the wrinkled old prince with a smile, and suddenly remembered the nickname of "Prince's Order".Is this turmoil caused by Prince Xianyuan Palace Zaijin instigating His Majesty the Emperor to move to the country, or is His Majesty the Emperor using the prince's messenger to create public opinion?

"The whole country's migration can indeed preserve a certain vitality, but the fall of the empire's mainland is probably inevitable." Ishihara smiled slowly, thinking carefully: "Without His Majesty the Emperor sitting in the mainland, I am afraid that the soldiers and civilians who stay behind will not be able to fight much. Courage, and... the current transportation capacity of the empire is limited. If you want to relocate, I am afraid that only a small number of people can be taken away, and most of the citizens will be abandoned...

In addition, there is another problem. China's ambitions for Australia are also well known.They will not give up their ambitions just because the empire gave up their home country and migrated to Australia. When they occupy the Japanese Islands, the Philippine Islands and the Japanese East Indies, they will probably transfer their main force to Australia.Therefore, moving to Australia cannot fundamentally solve the problem, it can only be..." At this point, Shi Yuan gritted his teeth and spit out four words: "Longer life! "

"Ishihara-kun!" Toshishiro Obata reprimanded loudly: "What nonsense are you talking about! As long as there is the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, the Imperial Army will be able to keep New Japan and build it into a base for the rise of the Great Japanese Empire. Attack the homeland from there!"

Seeing Toshishiro Obata's attitude, Ishihara was even more sure that Emperor Hirohito himself was the instigator behind this trend.That being the case, the plan to relocate the whole country may soon become a "national policy", and Nagata Tieshan, Okamura Ningji and others have no power to stop it.

Thinking of this, Ishihara took a deep breath and bowed to Toshishiro Obata: "Please forgive me for my slip of the tongue. However, the relocation of the whole country must not be done hastily, and a long-term plan must be considered. Moreover, in order to successfully complete the relocation According to the plan, the North Korean army must still be strengthened, because the resistance of the North Korean army can buy time for the empire to relocate. In addition... the entire relocation operation must be carried out under absolute secrecy."

Hearing that Ishihara had given in, Toshishiro Obata's attitude softened, and he smiled and said, "What Ishihara-kun said is exactly what I want, but at present there is still the biggest obstacle to making the national relocation a national policy. I hope that Ishihara-kun will He can solve His Majesty's worries and problems."

Speaking of this, it has almost been revealed that Emperor Hirohito is the instigator behind the relocation plan. Ishihara Kanji had no choice but to stand up, and solemnly bowed to Prince Kanin Palace Zaihito and Toshishiro Obata, with faces The superior also showed a look of panic: "Please rest assured, His Royal Highness and Mr. Xiaohata, the work of General Nagata, the lower officials will definitely be able to do it."

……

When Ishihara Wanji left the Army Staff Headquarters and came to the Army Ministry, Nagata Tieshan had just returned from the Prime Minister's Office, and with him to the Army Ministry Building was Admiral Shigetaro Shimada, Minister of the Navy.

"Isn't that dejected guy Ishihara!" Shimada, who was born in the navy, had sharp eyes, and immediately saw Ishihara Waner pacing with his head down in the Army Ministry Hall.

"Oh, what's the matter with that guy today? Could it be that he got caught in the staff headquarters?" Nagata Tieshan muttered, and then shouted loudly: "Ishihara-kun!"

As soon as Ishihara Wan'er turned around, he saw the two ministers, Nagata and Shimada, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and then said: "Your Excellency, your Excellency, I have just come from Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace, and I have something to talk to... ..." He glanced at Shintaro Shimada out of the corner of his eye.

"Let's go to my office and discuss it together. I just want to hear your opinion on something." Nagata Tieshan beckoned to Ishihara, and walked to the second floor with Shigetaro Shimada.

"Do you want to listen to the opinions of the lower officials?" Shi Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and then carefully looked at the faces of the two ministers, they seemed to be gloomy and terrifying.

Nagata Tieshan brought Shimada Shigetaro and Ishihara Wanji into his office. His office is on the third floor of the Army Ministry Building. The decoration is very simple and the area is not large. The walls are covered with military maps of several major battlefields. , The desk is still full of documents.Nagata Tetsuzan and Shimada Shigetaro were seated separately, but Ishihara Wanji stood there respectfully and did not move. He was always an unruly type in the highly hierarchical Japanese army. Even in front of Nagata Tetsuyama, he was more casual. However, today there are big figures from the navy present, and his every move represents the army, so he can't be too careless.

"Ishihara-kun, sit down." Yongtian Tieshan nodded at Ishihara, but his eyebrows were still tightly frowned.

"Hay." Ishihara Wan'er bowed slightly to the boss, then found a chair and sat on half of his buttocks, like an obedient elementary school student, without asking questions.At this time, Nagata's secretary came in and brought tea to the three people in the office.

Nagata ordered his secretary to stay outside and not allow anyone to disturb him.After the secretary turned and left, he carefully closed the door of the office.Yongtian Tieshan looked at Shi Yuan with a smile, and sighed slightly: "Ishi Yuan-kun, how long do you think North Korea can hold?"

"Three or five months at most." Ishihara Wan'er picked up his teacup and sipped it, and smiled bitterly: "The enemy situation is serious. China's Marshal Luo Yaoguo personally went to Shenyang to supervise the battle. China's elite troops are constantly gathering in Manchuria, but here we are. What? Alas..."

Nagata Tieshan sighed slightly, and shook his head: "Three to five months is too short, at least... 12 months, if not possible, 10 months, Ishihara-kun, can you keep it for 10 months?"

"Ten months?" Ishihara raised his eyebrows with a smile, and asked: "Your Excellency, will the fate of the empire turn around in 10 months? Has the German side made any promises?"

"It would be fine if that was the case, but unfortunately it has nothing to do with Germany." Nagata Tieshan paused for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Ishihara-kun, have you heard of the 'Asaka Palace Memorial' and the 'National Relocation Plan'?"

"The whole country moved?" Ishihara smiled for a moment, and then saw the livid faces of Nagata Tieshan and Shimoda Shigtaro, and realized that some important person must have talked to them, probably either Konoe Fumimaro or the Minister of Internal Affairs Koichi Kido!He nodded: "Your Majesty heard a bit of rumors in North Korea, and just now at the General Staff Headquarters, I heard Prince Hanin Gong Zairen and Lieutenant General Toshishiro Obata mention it. This incident seems to be... Luozhong (referring to the emperor) mean."

"Then what do you think?" Yongtian Tieshan asked lightly.

Shi Yuan shook his head with a smile, and said with a wry smile: "How dare I criticize Luozhong's decision, I can only find ways to make it properly implemented, so as to preserve a bit more vitality for the empire."

Nagata Tieshan sighed heavily, but Shintaro Shimada spoke first: "The relocation of the whole country is completely delusional. Now Papua New Guinea and the Bismarck Islands are still under the control of the US military, and New Zealand is still under the control of the Free United Kingdom. More than half of the islands on the island are still under the control of the free United Kingdom or the United States. British and American submarine planes use these islands as bases to attack our transportation lines frantically. Without the strict protection of the fleet, the transportation fleet cannot reach New Japan safely. state!

And how much merchant shipping tonnage is left in the empire?How rich can it be if it is necessary to maintain the minimum transportation volume of several major battlefields?It takes more than a month to travel to New Japan... How many times can North Korea travel for 10 months?How many people can be transported? "

Hearing Shimada's complaints, Ishihara could only smile wryly. It was the emperor's intention to relocate the whole country, and they, the courtiers, could only obey.Besides, no matter how tight the current transportation capacity is, the royal family, the public, and those big chaebols, big bureaucrats, senior generals of the army and navy, and their families can always be sent out of Japan, which is about to sink... The relocation plan can be supported by most of Japan's high-level officials, and those who oppose it are probably the middle and lower-level officers and ordinary soldiers of the army and navy.This is also the main reason why Emperor Hirohito did not dare to publicly propose a relocation plan, but wanted to test it out in many ways. He did not want to cause any mutiny.

"Then you can only transport the most important people away." Nagata Tieshan was silent for a while, and then asked Shimada: "Mr. Shimada, how many people can be transported away if you give the navy 10 months? How many tons of supplies can you transport away?" ?”

"At most 200 million people." Shigetaro Shimada thought for a moment in his heart, and reported a number. "This number is not a random word from my officer, but the result carefully calculated by the staff of the Naval Command and the United Fleet." Shigetaro Shimada stood up and walked to the wall, took off a map, and took it to the desk The map was spread out, and Ishihara Waner found that it was a chart of the Pacific Ocean.Shimada picked up a red and blue pencil, sketched on the map for a while, and said: "This is the transportation line designed by the Navy. One is from South America to New Tokyo Port in New Japan State, which is used to transport materials; the other is from Japan to Japan. New Tokyo Port, when the fleet departs from Japan, it will load the people or materials to be transported by the "Relocation Plan", and when it returns from New Tokyo Port, it will bring the materials from South America back to Japan... This way the transportation efficiency is the highest, and the average A maximum of 20 people and 20 tons of materials can be transported to New Japan in a month. At the same time, the transportation of materials in several battlefields such as North Korea, the Philippines, and East India can also be maintained.”

"There are only 200 million people, can't it be more? It's really not possible to transport less supplies, and it would be good to pack a few more people." Ishihara Waner frowned slightly. There are only 200 million people, plus the 60 troops who have already arrived in Australia. And 12 to 3 pioneers, as well as 15 troops and 10 pioneers on the Hawaiian Islands, and less than 10 Japanese troops and nearly 20 Japanese on the Japanese East Indies, even in the future home defense war Transfer another 3 to 40 people, add up all kinds of things, the new Japan in the future will only have a population of more than 400 million, and the remaining 6000 million people can only be ravaged by the Chinese...

Shintaro Shimada sighed: "I'm afraid not. The materials shipped to New Japan are not only civilian supplies and machinery and equipment, but also weapons and equipment for the troops stationed in New Japan. Ishihara-kun, don't forget that the Chinese are still in Western Australia. With more than 60 troops, Luo Yaoguo's brother-in-law, Marshal An Sihua, is the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Australian Front, you don't think that Marshal An will do nothing in the next 10 months?"

"What's the current situation in New Japan State? The Chinese seem to have launched an attack?" Ishihara asked back.

Yongtian Tieshan smiled wryly, and replied: "The situation there is better than expected, otherwise Luozhong would not have thought about relocating the whole country... The attack launched by the Chinese is obviously restraining, and they are probably the same as us. Bluffing in Western Australia while bringing armor home."

"If this is the case, the relocation plan still has the possibility of success." Ishihara Waner tapped the map with his fingers, pondered for a while, and then said: "From the current overall situation, the main direction of the Chinese people's attack It is the Korean Peninsula, followed by the Philippines, and then the East Indies. Australia is only taking a diversionary attack... The reason for this may be related to the South China Sea-Philippines sea battle last month. The strait was blocked by the imperial army again, and the logistics and supply lines of the Chinese and Australian front forces were not smooth, making it impossible to launch a large-scale offensive.

Therefore, there are three key points to realize the 'relocation plan'.The first is that the Korean battlefield lasts for at least 10 months; the second is that the navy guarantees at least 20 people are transported to New Japan per month;

Only in this way can New Japan hope to persist until Germany defeats the United States.At that time, Germany will be invited to intervene.The empire reached a truce with China by abandoning the mainland, Korea, and the Philippines, and China allowed more than 6000 million citizens on the Japanese mainland to move to New Japan.From now on, the Great Japanese Empire will no longer be an Asian country..."

Ishihara Waner made some more satisfactory calculations, and finally came up with a plan that was barely possible to realize.After he finished speaking, he picked up the teacup in front of him and took a big sip of the tea made from the leaves of an unknown tree.Nagata Tetsuzan and Shimada Shintaro looked better. In Ishihara Kanji’s discussion, he negotiated a peace with China through German mediation, and on the condition of “giving up” the mainland, North Korea, and the Philippines, in exchange for more than 6000 million citizens moving to New Japan state content.

Regardless of whether this calculation can be achieved or not, it can finally comfort myself and the abandoned citizens psychologically.Of course, if the so-called new Japan can really persist until the day when the United States fails, the Chinese should accept the terms of the peace talks... They don't want to provide long-term food supply for 6000 million Japanese, do they?

"By the way, Ishihara-kun, there is one more thing I would like to hear from you." Nagata Tieshan and Shimoda Shigetaro looked at each other, and said again: "Your Majesty wants to secretly visit New Japan in the near future. look?"

"What? A secret tour?" Shi Yuan was stunned for a while, thinking: "Is it really just a secret tour? Don't you want to escape secretly?"

"Your Majesty really wants to see the vastness and richness of New Japan. You can return to Tokyo in two or three months at most. The entire itinerary is completely confidential. Except for a few high-level officials and entourage, no one will know that His Majesty is not in the capital during this time." Island. Tian Shigetaro added a few words lightly.

Ishihara Waner had already reacted at this time, knowing that it was Nagata Tieshan greeting the North Korean army, he hurriedly nodded solemnly: "Please rest assured, the two generals, the lower officials and General Okamura will definitely block this news, absolutely We will not let rumors unfavorable to His Majesty appear in the North Korean army."

"In this way, I can rest assured." Yongtian Tieshan stood up, left his seat, and stopped in front of a huge North Korean military map hanging on the wall.Ishihara Wanji followed quickly, but Shintaro Shimada sat still.

"In order to complete the relocation plan, the North Korean army must persist until September next year at least. Is there any difficulty?" Nagata Tieshan's tone was a little light: "What else is needed, just put it forward now."

“需要补充1000门100mm以上的榴弹炮，1000门75mm以上的高射炮，800门40mm到20mm的高射炮，500架零式战斗机，还要50万兵力。”石原莞尔将在陆军参谋本部提出的要求原封不动又在陆军大臣面前提了一遍。

"How much did Prince Zairen of Xianyuan Palace promise?"
