At this moment, Ishihara smiled and said," I don't agree with your opinion. China is vast and has a large population. Moreover, their national consciousness has gradually awakened. They are becoming more and more hostile towards the Empire.”
" If we push them too hard, they will only unite and fight against the Imperium together, which will be detrimental to the Imperium's plan on the continent.”
"We should still use the same strategy as before and slowly encroach on China.”
" Just like boiling frogs in warm water, they will be eaten by the Imperium without being aware of it!”
"And we did very well before! In 1931, we conquered the three northeastern provinces, and in 1932, we drove the Chinese army out of Songhu. In 1933, we took Rehe Province. In 1934, we occupied most of Chahar. In 1935, we occupied the eastern Hebei region.”
"Almost every year, we've been encroaching on China's territory. This strategy is more suitable.”
"And this time, we can use this incident to completely occupy the Pingjin region, and even most of the areas in Ji Province and Chahar Province.”
"However, we must do our best to avoid an all-out war. Once an all-out war breaks out, China will definitely use its entire strength to resist the Empire.”
"At that time, even if the Empire wants to conquer China, they will have to pay a heavy price.”
" This strategy allows us to slowly annex China at the lowest cost. All we need to do is pay a little bit of time.”
"Humph!"
"Isn't Ishihara-kun being too cautious?" Sugiyama Yuan snorted coldly.”
"With the Empire's current strength, those Chinese are no match for us.”
"The Chinese army is poorly equipped and lacks training. They don't have any combat strength at all.”
"Moreover, there are many factions in their troops, and there are constant internal conflicts between them. It's impossible for them to completely unite and fight against us.”
"We can completely destroy them one by one!”
Sugiyama Yuan paused for a moment, then said arrogantly,"Three months!"
"The imperial army only needs three months to completely destroy Huaxia!”
" Therefore, there's no need to waste time like what Ishihara-kun said.”
"I suggest that we immediately send a large number of troops to North China. We should first take down North China, then wait for an opportunity to seize the Songhu area.”
"We can then take down their capital city, Jinling. As long as we destroy their Jinling army, we can force the Jinling government to surrender to us.”
"That way, we can easily occupy all of China!”
"What you said is simply too whimsical," said Ishihara with a smile.”
"China is vast and resourceful. We have occupied the northeast for about six years now, but we are still unable to completely eliminate the anti-Japanese forces in the northeast.”
"Even if we occupy Huabei, Songhu, Jinling, and even all the important cities, it is impossible to eliminate all the resistance forces in a short period of time.”
"The battle line will be stretched out, and the empire will have to pay a heavy price. This will be detrimental to the empire's development.”
"Bah!" Sugiyama said angrily. I think you're deliberately going against me!"
"What you said is simply nonsense. As long as we can force Chang Kaishen to surrender, the resistance forces will naturally stand up to us.”
Ishihara's face flushed red with anger as she retorted,""Your Excellency, your wishful thinking is too childish.”
The two of them were about to quarrel.
At this moment, the Chief of Staff, Prince Gong Zairen, said,""Alright, stop arguing. Everyone is doing this for the empire.”
"We can discuss slowly if we have different opinions.”
The Prime Minister's bodyguard, Wen Zao, also said,""That's right. We have the same goal. Don't let some differences hurt our harmony.”
"The reason why China is so poor and weak is because of internal discord. We definitely can't make the same mistake.”
" We can put aside our differences for now," Prince Zairen said." We can discuss the most pressing matters first. We can discuss the issues that we agree on."”
"We can't let this matter rest. We must use this opportunity to fight for greater benefits for the Empire.”
"Therefore, it is urgent to send more troops to the North China region. The Chinese will not give up their land.”
"Ha Yi!"
"Your Highness is right," said Sugiyama excitedly."This humble servant suggests that the 20th division of Goryeo be deployed to reinforce the North China region.”
"In addition, transfer the 5th, 6th, and 10th divisions from the mainland. Three divisions will be sent to aid the northern region as soon as possible.”
"Apart from that, we should also transfer two to four brigades from the Kwantung Army and send them to the North China region as soon as possible.”
"In addition, in order to deal with the further development of the situation, I suggest that we issue an emergency recruitment order and temporarily expand the strength of three to five divisions to solve the problem of insufficient strength faced by the imperial army.”
Sugiyama was already prepared and directly told him his plan to increase his troops.
Once this plan was thrown out, it was approved by most of the old devils who attended the meeting.
Therefore, the Japanese immediately approved the plan to send more troops to North China.
Please urge me to change.
