MTL - Jagged Germany-Chapter 1748 island panic

  The capital of the island country, Tokyo.

  The island country has been involved in this war for more than a year. Although, the island nation suffered heavy casualties in this war, paying more than one million casualties. However, they succeeded in occupying the Philippine Islands and Dutch Indonesia as well as the island of New Guinea. From these islands, the island nation obtained a great deal of resources. Petroleum, rubber, steel and various non-ferrous metals are continuously transported from Southeast Asia to the mainland of the island country.

  Even if Germany sent a lot of submarines to ambush merchant ships from island countries. However, the island country still transported a large amount of resources back to the mainland. These resources have turned into pieces of weapons, equipped with the army and navy of the island country, making the military power of the island country continue to rise.

  And this further made the island countries strengthen their offensives in Southeast Asia and Australia. The islanders seem to be eager to get more benefits after having tasted the sweetness of the day. They want to bring the whole of Nanyang and Australia into their rule.

   But, a year has passed. Facing the troops deployed by Germany in Southeast Asia and Australia, although the army and navy of the island country were in an offensive position, they had no results. Indochina and Australia are still in the hands of the German army. Although the army and navy of the island country once landed on the Indochina Peninsula and Australia, they failed to expand the results of the battle and were driven back by the German army.

   Repeated failures made the military of the island nation very angry. The commander of the Southern Army has been replaced, and General Toshiichi Terauchi has taken over the post. Just when General Kotobuki in the temple was preparing to do a great job in this position, a shocking news came from the west. The United States, the master behind the island country, was destroyed by the Germans.

   This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the island nation. You must know that the most important reason for the island countries to recover from the disastrous defeat in the last world war is the support of the United States for them. The United States has provided a large amount of loans, a large amount of resources and technology to the island country, which has allowed the military strength of the island country to expand rapidly. Even when it was unfavorable for the island country to attack Nanyang, the United States directly transferred the Philippine Islands to the island country, allowing the island country to use this as a springboard to attack Borneo.

  In the minds of islanders, the United States is undoubtedly powerful. They also hope that the United States can always hold back Germany's footsteps, so that it can buy more time for the island country. Allow the island nation to capture the entire Southeast Asia and Australia, and even further capture India. In this case, the island country will undoubtedly be able to develop into a world-class power.

   But sadly, their ambitions were hit hard at the very beginning. The United States, which they placed high hopes on, actually collapsed like this. This is beyond their expectations! What's more terrible is that after the defeat of the United States, Germany has won the final victory in the West. No need to think about it, Germany will definitely increase its troops to the Far East next. Although the current military strength of the island country is very strong, the rulers of the island country don't think they can confront Germany. Especially when Germany can concentrate on attacking the island country, the island country has absolutely no ability to fight against Germany!

  In the Prime Minister's Office of the island country, the new Prime Minister Hideki Tojo and a group of important ministers all looked ugly.

  Now Hideki Tojo no longer has the excitement of monopolizing power on his face, but instead has a face full of metaphors.

  In this term of the cabinet, Hideki Tojo not only served as the prime minister of the island country, but also served as the Minister of War, Minister of Internal Affairs and Minister of Education. Even Hideki Tojo planned to serve as the Minister of Foreign Affairs as well, truly realizing the power to dominate the island country.

  Originally, this was undoubtedly a good job. But now it seems that this is a pit of fire! If the island country loses in the war against Germany, then Hideki Tojo, who holds the power of the island country, will inevitably pay the price for it. Even, he absolutely cannot survive. This also made Hideki Tojo even a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would not have squeezed Konoe Fumimaro down, and would have continued to let him be the prime minister. In this case, even if the battle is defeated, Konoe Fumimaro will be at the front.

   It's just that it's too late to say these things now.

"Gentlemen, the news has been confirmed. The United States has indeed been defeated. The President of the United States has signed the surrender document. The United States has officially surrendered to Germany unconditionally. The remaining troops of the US military have surrendered to the Germans." Tojo Hideo Ji's face was gloomy, as if water could drip out.

"Baga! Americans are all worthless? How could they be so vulnerable? They have a population of more than 100 million, a powerful industry second only to Germany in the world, and an army of 8 million. How could it be? It was defeated by the Germans in just two months? This is really unbelievable." Admiral Shimoda Shigetaro, Minister of the Navy of the island country, said.

  The other cabinet ministers and military ministers of the island country also looked very shocked. After all, in the minds of islanders, the United States is undoubtedly already very powerful. But now, the United States has been defeated so quickly, which really subverts their three views!

  It took only two months for the German Army to launch an attack on the U.S. military until the U.S. admitted defeat and surrendered unconditionally. Even if the previous strategic bombing and even the attack on Canada are included, it has only been more than half a year. It took so little more time to defeat the United States, which really exceeded everyone's expectations. After all, it took Germany nearly a year to defeat Russia before concentrating its forces on attacking Russia. The overall strength of the United States is much stronger than that of Russia no matter how you look at it.

  The island government and military even once thought that even if the U.S. Navy lost in the Atlantic Ocean. However, relying on the army and the geographical advantages of the North American continent, the United States can withstand the German attack no matter what. No matter how bad it is, it can last for several years.

  But now they understand that the United States is nothing more than a fierce-looking paper tiger, which can be broken with a single poke.

  Of course, the Americans failed so quickly, and they also pitted the island country. When the island congress declared war on Germany, it was entirely because of the strong instigation of the United States. Even the United States threatened the island country by stopping the supply of resources to the island country, forcing the island country to declare war on Germany. Now, the United States has been destroyed by Germany so easily. Didn't it drag the island country into the water? You don't need to think about it, Germany will never let the island country go.
