"Mr. Prime Minister. Although the Combined Fleet was almost completely wiped out. However, the Imperial Navy still has some shore-based carrier-based aircraft units that can be put into the battle against the Russian invasion. In addition, the remaining destroyers and submarines of the Imperial Navy will also be put into the battle with the Russians. We will fight the Russians to the death for the Empire and fight to the end!" Admiral Shiro Ikawatani, the Minister of the Navy, stated.
Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro nodded.
Although he was very dissatisfied with the performance of the Navy. However, it is good that the Navy can have such determination.
"In addition, there are six Taiho-class aircraft carriers and six Yunlong-class aircraft carriers under construction in the Imperial Navy’s shipyard. Four Yamato-class battleships will soon be completed. Once these battleships are completed, the Imperial Navy will once again have a powerful fleet. We will once again have the ability to fight the Russians." Admiral Shiro Ikawatani continued.
"Hmph! How many resources are needed to build these warships? The previous combined fleet failed to defeat the Russians despite its strong forces. Will there be another chance in the future? That is just a waste of the empire’s resources. From now on, those warships must be stopped and all resources must be concentrated to produce rifles, machine guns, artillery and tanks to prepare for the Russians’ massive attack. This is the most important thing!" General Tojo Yinji snorted coldly.
"Only relying on our own strength, we are indeed no match for the Russians. But don’t forget, we are not fighting alone. The Lighthouse people also suffered heavy losses in this battle. However, the Lighthouse people will not give up. They will definitely build more warships and restore their naval strength as soon as possible.
Once the naval strength of the Lighthouse people is restored and cooperates with us, then we will be able to challenge the Russians again. Even, we will have the opportunity to defeat the Russians again.
For the Empire, if it wants to defeat the Russians and ensure the safety of the Empire’s homeland, then it must defeat the Russian navy. This is crucial!"
General Shiro Ikawatani retorted.
Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe frowned.
Although he was very disappointed with the navy. But he had to admit that if the Eastern Empire wanted to ensure the safety of its homeland, there was nothing better than defeating the Russians at sea.
If it was just the Eastern Empire Navy. Then, Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro might not think that they have such strength. However, if the Navy of the Eastern Empire and the Navy of the Lighthouse Country cooperate. Then, everything might be different.
As Admiral Ichikawa Tani Shiro said, only by defeating the Russian navy can the security of the Eastern Empire be truly guaranteed.
Otherwise, the Eastern Empire will never be truly safe.
Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro thought about it for a while and made a decision in his heart.
"The navy’s warships should continue to be built according to the established plan."
"Hi, Prime Minister!" General Shiro Ichikawa was overjoyed.
Although General Tojo Yinji and other high-ranking army officers were very dissatisfied with this, they also knew that if the navy could really turn defeat into victory, it would indeed be the best result for the Oriental Empire.
So, they did not dwell on this issue.
"The Russians’ attack on the Empire’s homeland is probably imminent. So, what should the Empire do next?" Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe asked.
After the tragic defeat of the Combined Fleet and the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Country Navy, they handed over the control of the sea in the entire Far East.
So, it can be predicted that the Russians will seize this opportunity to launch a large-scale attack on the Oriental Empire.
Not only the Oriental Army deployed in Hokkaido Island and the Korean Peninsula will be attacked fiercely by the Russians. The Russians can directly attack the mainland of the Eastern Empire with the assistance of the navy.
It is undoubtedly very difficult, or even impossible, for the Eastern Empire to prevent the Russians from landing and resist the Russians’ attack.
"Mr. Prime Minister, the Imperial Army is ready to fight the Russians to the death. Although we have deployed a large number of troops on Hokkaido Island and the Korean Peninsula. However, we still have millions of troops in the country. In addition, the 7 million troops that have been mobilized again have been formed and are being trained. Soon, these troops will be able to form combat effectiveness.
What’s more, all the people of the Empire, whether men, women, old or young, are willing to give everything to defend the Empire, even our lives. Therefore, if the Russians really dare to land on the mainland of the Empire. Then, even if 100 million people die, the Empire will definitely resist the Russians’ attack and make the Russians pay a heavy price!"
General Tojo Yinji, the Minister of the Army, looked determined.
However, the so-called 100 million people dying in battle is just an exaggeration.
The current Eastern Empire does not have a population of 100 million. The Eastern Empire’s homeland has only more than 70 million people.
Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro nodded. He was very satisfied that the army had such courage and confidence.
"Mr. Prime Minister, we have begun to formulate relevant tactics. The Northern Army and the 177th Goryeo Army will enter a full defensive combat posture and will try their best to resist the Russian attack and buy us more time. (To read the violent novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
All the troops in the empire’s homeland will also begin to vigorously build fortifications and prepare for battle.
In addition, we will train the people in the empire’s homeland on a large scale, and distribute weapons to everyone, regardless of gender, age or age, to prepare for a comprehensive resistance to the Russian attack.
Once the Russians really attack the empire’s homeland, they will find that there are people attacking them everywhere.
In this way, no matter how strong the Russians are, they will never be able to defeat us, let alone destroy us.
The final victory will definitely belong to the Empire!"
General Sugiyama Moto, Chief of Staff of the Army, said.
Obviously, the plan of the Eastern Empire Army is very crazy.
This is equivalent to the entire Eastern Empire fighting the Russians desperately.
However, under the current circumstances, this may be the best way.
Only in this way can we resist the attack of the Russians, make the Russians pay a heavy price, and prevent the Russians from destroying their country.
"Yoshi! All the people are united. Then, we will definitely win the final victory. Our country will definitely not be destroyed by the Russians!" Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro looked determined..
