In the conference room of the Eighth Front, there were not only the generals of the troops who came in the next one, but also some of the officers of the 17th Army who had stayed in Rabaul.

Hearing the analysis of Major General, a Major General of the Seventeenth Army in Rabaul, looked at the Major General with some hatred, pointed to the tip of his nose and said:

“Nonsense!Our army was ten in the war of China.Even in the battles of Singapore, Burma, the Philippines, and the Dutch East British India, they also won more than one.The present-mura general, the district of the Major, dared to slander the military, and I suggested that His Excellency the General dismiss him and let him go to Guadalcanal as a soldier.At that time, he knew that when the robes were starving and bled to death, they should not be as bullshit as a fly.”

Without waiting for the village to speak, the Major General was not afraid of the major general who pointed to the tip of his nose, saying: "Our army's victory in the South China in the past is because of the control of sea power and air power, and the enemy is surrounded and morale is low."This is not the case in Guadalcanal.Who in this room can deny the courage and strength of the Red Guards imperial pilots, sailors and Marines?We had no air superiority, and after three Battles of Solomon, after losing five battleships, we lost our sea power.As a result, the 38th Division was attacked by airstrikes, and all its equipment and a large number of personnel sank into the sea.If we do not acknowledge these facts, we will fail.”

The village listened, waving their hands and motioning for both of them to sit down.

As the hall of the conference room is pearly, with valuable mahogany old furniture, stained glass embedded in the window, and the ceiling hanging crystal chandeliers.The atmosphere is heavy and oppressive, and the elegant village cannot ease the tension of our staff.

“His Majesty the Emperor sent me here to solve the war in Guadalcanal, and you say that it is necessary to conquer Guadalcanal and retake the airport of Guadalcanal?”

No one can answer this question positively, in the Guadalcanal battlefield, Japan has invested more than four divisions of the army, how many troops need to fill this big pit, who can say clearly.

Outside the conference room window, Fan Yize listened with interest to the inside of the argument, some people said that at least six missions are needed, some people simply say that ten divisions are needed, and some people even say that at least twelve divisions are needed, and the comprehensive cooperation of the Navy's combined fleet is needed.

Don't say that Fan Yize wants to laugh, as the protagonist in the conference room, the village has already laughed: "All the forces of our army in the entire South Pacific and Southeast Asia theater add up, and only twelve divisions, according to your words, not only need to draw troops from the battlefield of China, but also need the final force of the Navy to come out, otherwise you can not recover Guadalcanal?"

Everyone in the room was silent, and the advice was one thing, and it might actually be another.

Talking on a military map is as simple as drinking water, but once you get to the battlefield, the real deployment of troops and command the war is a completely different matter.

“If there is the cooperation of the combined naval fleet, the four divisions will be sufficient.”The Major General, who had been speaking up before, stood up and faced the village and said, "And the naval aviation needs to ensure that the Red Guard Empire is suppressed in terms of battlefield firepower and aviation superiority."

The village shook its head and said slowly: "The Navy can't do it, after the failure of the Nagoya Division's delivery, the Navy has refused to send another fleet to the waters of Guadalcanal, the Navy has proposed to the headquarters that the remaining forces of the Navy should look for opportunities to seize the sea power, rather than to sacrifice valuable warships in that narrow sea area, these months, the Navy's losses have reached the point of unbearable, Yongno's general's words, blocking everything possible."

At the side of the village, the staff officer of the village said: "Because of the war in Guadalcanal, the ships requisitioned by the army cannot be returned, and even the re-conscription of civilian ships needs to be re-conscripted, and the planning institute will not approve more civilian ship recruitment."It also requires the army and the navy to fire the 180,000 tons of civilian ships that have been forced to be recruited next year, because all the shipyards in the country are producing warships, and the civilian ships are not in line, and it is difficult to add one, which has seriously affected the domestic economy and may even lead to the collapse of the domestic economy.”

Japan's domestic national production and life is in urgent need of oil, coal, iron ore, food and all kinds of materials, must rely on civilian ships to transport.

Due to the frequent submarine activity of the Red Guard Empire, the total tonnage of Japanese civil ships has dropped rapidly, and it is no longer possible to guarantee the production of 3.5 million tons of steel planned for next year, but without these steels, it will be difficult for Japan to maintain the operation of the battlefield next year.

This war, Japan has not yet been defeated militarily, but the economic defeat has begun.

Even if Japan plundered more gold property in the occupied area, but no supplies were returned, everything was in vain.

However, for the military, war is not an arithmetic problem, because if war is an arithmetic problem, then for Japan, the annual output of 4 million tons of steel, how dare to attack the United States, the annual output of 40 million tons of the United States, thus triggering war.

War is never the result of one-to-one.

Fan Yize outside the window just listened and did not speak, he knew that in yesterday, the Japanese cabinet had made a compromise, and the Planning Institute also allocated 100,000 tons of civilian boats to the army.

But this does not solve the problem of the Japanese, which means that the war in Guadalcanal is really going to end.

Fan Yize has a full understanding of this person in the village, whether it is history or the survey made in this time and space, it shows an unchangeable result, and the front line of the battlefield needs to be advanced.

Most of the other Japanese officers in the window were reluctant to accept the defeat of the Guadalcanal War, but this did not help.

The failure of the Guadalcanal War was not the failure of Japanese grassroots and frontline officers, but the failure of the Japanese military department.

The victory made the Japanese military department a little blind, even in the face of a powerful Red Police Empire, there is no fear.

From the perspective of military morale, this is indeed an advantage, but for the overall military strategy, it is a hidden danger of great failure.

In the meeting room, the discussion continued, Fan Yize has quietly left the conference room, the sky is gloomy, thunder accompanied by dense rain falling.
