"Borrowing the Philippine Inds?" General Itagaki Seishiro jumped up from his chair with an expression of disbelief.
The other important ministers of the ind''s cab also looked at the Hopkins consultant in surprise. Obviously, I did not expect that the United States would propose such a n. This is something they have never thought of before!
In the n of the army of the ind country, theyunched an attack on Southeast Asia and Australia, and they would notunch the attack until the navy of the ind country defeated the German navy and took control of the sea. After all, tond in Southeast Asia and Australia, you must rely on the protection and support of the navy.
After the naval defeat, the ind army thought they would have to wait patiently for a while longer. But I didn''t expect that the Americans would propose such a bold n.
"Everyone, if you use the Philippine Inds as a springboard, the army of the ind country can easilynd in Southeast Asia, right? With the help of the Philippine Inds, you can easily capture Dutch Indonesia. Go back and attack the Indochina Penins in the north and Australia in the south. Even if there is no navy With your support, you have a great chance of winning. Even the navy of the ind country can use this support to reverse the situation and defeat the German navy in one fell swoop!" Hopkins consultant continued.
All the important ministers of the ind country were stunned. Of course they knew how feasible this n was.
"We can send arge number of Army Air Force aircraft to the Philippine Inds. In this way, we will not be afraid of the threat of the German Navy. Under the protection of the Army Air Force aircraft, our transport ships can directly transport troops to the Philippine Inds, Evennding in Dutch Indonesia and other ces." General Seishiro Itagaki said excitedly.
"If we can use the Philippine Inds, after the army captures Dutch Indonesia, the space for the German navy''s activities will be reduced by us. It is even possible to drive them out of Nanyang." General Mitsumasa Minai also said.
The important ministers of these ind countries have realized that this is undoubtedly an opportunity for them. As long as this opportunity is seized, it is not impossible for the army of the ind country to march into Southeast Asia and Australia. That would be rtively easy.
"Gentlemen, it seems that you also approve of this n. Then, let''s implement it ording to this n! The US government hopes that you can seed this time!" said the Hopkins consultant.
"Your Excellency, if we have the Philippines as a springboard, we will definitely be able to defeat the Germans!" General Seishiro Itagaki said confidently.
Consultant Hopkins nodded in satisfaction, regardless of whether the inders could defeat the Germans in Southeast Asia and Australia. But at least after they send arge army tounch an attack, it will put a lot of pressure on Germany, thereby restraining part of the German army. This has satisfied the US government very much.
"Your Excellency, is your country nning to go to war against Germany?" Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro asked.
After all, the Philippines is a colony of the United States. If the army of the ind country enters the Philippines, it will definitely be regarded as the United States and the ind country joining forces.
The Hopkins consultant shook his head: "Now is not the time for us to go to war with Germany. This time, it is you who attacked the United States and upied the Philippine Inds. Of course, our troops stationed in the Philippine Inds will not resist, but will cooperate with you Those who use those military facilities. The various war materials we store in the Philippine Inds will also be handed over to you for use."
Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe and others immediately understood what the US government meant. The Americans are not ready for war yet, so they don''t want to go to war with Germany at this time. The typical one wants to be a **** and also wants to set up a chastity archway.
However, this is undoubtedly very beneficial to the ind country. With the help of the Philippine Inds, they will be able to attack the South China Sea and Australia when the navy has no way to control the sea. As a result, the possibility of their victory in this battle will be further improved.
"Your Excellency, the U.S. government hopes to sign a secret treaty with the ind government. After the war, your country will return the Philippine Inds to the United States!" Hopkins consultant said.
"Your Excellency, of course. We are only temporarily using the Philippine Inds to attack the Germans. After we defeat the Germans, we will definitely return the Philippine Inds to the United States!" Konoe Fumimaro said road.
The Philippine Inds are an important foothold for the Americans in the Asia-Pacific region, and of course they will not give up. Even after winning the war, they will keep the Philippine Inds in order to check and bnce the ind countries.
"In addition, we can gradually withdraw the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Philippine Inds. Our government hopes that they can be properly resettled!" Hopkins consultant reminded.
The reputation of the ind nation’s army is not very good. The US government does not want the US army in the Philippines to be treated as prisoners of war by the ind nation. In that case, I''m afraid I won''t be able to exin to the military.
"Of course. Adviser, please rest assured that we will properly amodate those American officers and soldiers!" General Seishiro Itagaki assured, patting his chest.
"Everyone, then we have reached an agreement!" The Hopkins consultant said with a smile. His trip to Tokyo this time was undoubtedly aplete sess.
The important ministers of the ind''s cab allughed. They were very happy, thinking that they would be able to enter Southeast Asia and Australia soon. Once Nanyang and Australia are upied, the rich resources there will immediately be able to free the ind country from its dependence on the United States. In the future international situation, they will also have greater autonomy.
That night, the Hopkins consultant and Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe signed their names on the secret agreement.
And the Hopkins consultant did not stay in Tokyo for too long, and took a ne back to the United States the next morning to return to hismand. The army of the ind country is preparing to send troops to the Philippines.
The army air force of the ind country has sessively stationed in Okinawa and Baodao. With the help of these fighters, the transport fleet of the ind country can be kept safe in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea. Then cross the Bashi Channel andnd in the Philippines.
The elite troops of the ind country army have also begun to mobilize. With the cooperation of the Americans, they only need to send a small amount of troops to upy the Philippine Inds. At that time, arge number of aircraft from the Army Air Force of the ind country will fly to the Philippines and station at those US military airports. And arge number of elite troops of the ind country army will also set offter andnd on the Philippine Inds. Then use the Philippine Inds as a base to attack Southeast Asia and Australia.
