Although the higher-ups had been slaughtered, if we were to follow the Prince's intentions, the power of the Military Headquarters would diminish significantly. Therefore, several Deputy Positions nominated candidates to take the blame and spoke up, determined to protect the Military Headquarters, even if it meant death!
"Shut up! The Military Headquarters will only listen today. If anyone speaks again, it will be Eradicate Three Clans!"
The Emperor pointed with a fierce expression, his voice filled with anger. The mention of Eradicate Three Clans silenced the officers of the Military Headquarters immediately.
As the Emperor gestured, more than a dozen Royal Guards armed with Wu Lan burst into the conference room, their guns aimed at the officials of the Military Headquarters.
Without a thorough vetting process, the Military Headquarters could not be trusted!
It's over for the Military Headquarters! In Yuu's hands, ha! Even if they don't all die, half of them will surely perish!
"Yuu, continue!"
"Your Majesty, our Mainland Policy needs revision!"
As soon as this was said, not only the military but even the Local Government Officials were taken aback.
"Your Majesty, does our Greater Japan Empire belong to a small nation with limited resources? Yes! That's why we turned to the mainland! So let’s think carefully about where our previous Mainland Policy went wrong!"
"First of all, there’s the cost of governance. With a population of over a billion in Huaxia and less than ten thousand in our country, just occupying Manchuria requires nearly ten thousand personnel to ensure we are not counterattacked. This is during a civil war in Huaxia; we seized an opportunity through strategic risk-taking to gain control over Northeast Huaxia! But do we really have the capability to completely conquer such a vast East Asian continent?"
"Our maximum conscription limit is only ten thousand troops; that’s already pushing our nation to its breaking point! But can ten thousand men really conquer East Asia?"
"Even if we had enough troops, what about Wu Lan? Can our military manufacturing capabilities really support an army of ten thousand? Do we have enough steel? Do we have enough bullets? Do we have enough food? No, we do not!"
"That’s why we need to occupy East Asia!" The Foreign Minister stood up and shouted.
"Yes, let’s seize it! Let’s plunder East Asia and Huaxia! Right? But Huaxia can’t even achieve self-sufficiency in industry or food; what can we seize? Does Huaxia have minerals? Does it have oil? Does it have food? No! Huaxia has nothing but a large population! What can we take? Gold? Antiques? Perhaps, but can they be exchanged for bullets? Moreover, if we occupy Huaxia, what will those European nations think? Will they send their black ships again? Can we withstand interventions from England, France, America, and Italy? Is our fleet strong enough? No! It is not! Therefore, we should occupy places with oil, iron ore, and food!"
At this point, Yuu raised his hand. Ichitaro and Takatsukasa Chikurin brought in a large map and spread it out in the conference room.
"Let me show you where we should attack!"
He raised a pointer and indicated Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei. "These places have abundant oil and rubber; their food production is high—rice can be harvested three or even four times a year!"
"But these are colonies of European nations!"
"Yes, Indonesia is a colony of the Netherlands; Malaysia and Brunei are British colonies! We should advance along the Southeast Asian islands towards Dayang! Until here!"
He pointed at Australia. "Here! It has the largest iron ore deposits in the world and is incredibly easy to mine; the reserves are astonishing! In the Pilbara region, this iron ore has high purity—mostly hematite and magnetite—with few impurities; it is among the best iron ores globally! Additionally, gold resources are abundant and widely distributed mainly in Western Australia, Queensland, and New South Wales. It also has rich deposits of lead, zinc, nickel, cobalt, silver, tantalum, zirconium—this is where Japan should conquer!"
At this moment, both the Foreign Minister and the Interior Minister stood up. "Your Royal Highness, if we declare war here, we will be directly opposing Britain while facing their most powerful Navy—the British Navy!"
"Yes! The most powerful British Navy will also be their weakest!"
"Oh, Your Highness, I would like to hear more about this!"
Everyone knows that I have a personal connection with Mr. Special Case Thomas from the President of the United States. Through him, I have also acquired the heavy industry that Japan is most in need of! And the United States will be our ally!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was taken aback, and even the Emperor stood up!
Kujou's expression remained unchanged, his demeanor extremely calm.
