"This seems to be a feasible way. We can get in touch with the Germany people! If they get our support, the Germany people will be more likely to win this war!" said Foreign Minister Kuniaki Koiso.
"But gentlemen, there are undoubtedly two questions. First, will the Germans agree to cooperate with us? Don't forget, in order to maintain their world hegemony, they are sparing no effort to attack other powerful countries that may threaten their hegemony. Although the empire is far away from Germany, the strength of the empire is also important to them. It poses a threat. The Germans will not let go of the empire easily. Second, if we choose to cooperate with Germany, the United States will definitely regard the empire as an enemy. In this case, all American aid we receive will be cut off. This will be a heavy blow to the empire!
Fumimaro Konoe nodded. "Gentlemen, these two issues raised by Mr. Ugaki are indeed very important. Without solving these two issues, we will not be able to cooperate with the Germany people. In the end, we can only choose to stay in the Anti-German Alliance."
"We can send someone to contact the Germany people. If the Germany people are willing to accept us into Allied Powers, that would be the best. As for assistance, Americans can cut off our assistance, and we can also ask the Germany people for assistance. Germany's industry is more developed than United States. They also have much more resources than United States. I think if Germany is willing to accept us into Allied Powers, they will not refuse to provide us with support." Naruhiko Higashikuni said.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, maybe we can start negotiations with the Germans. If the Germans are willing to accept us into the Allies, we can send troops to attack Russia with them! However, the prerequisite is that they must provide us with various resources. It is best to transfer Nanyang and Australia to We. The Germans have too many colonies. Although Nanyang and Australia are very rich, they are not too important compared to the other colonies of the Germans. In this way, we can obtain these two colonies without paying any price," said Prime Minister Itagaki Seishiro.
Everyone's eyes lit up. If they could not only join Allied Powers, but also obtain the two colonies of South Seas and Australia, thus making up for Island Nation's shortcoming of resource shortage, it would be very beneficial to Island Nation. Even if Germany finally wins the war, if they want to defeat Island Nation again, they will have enough strength to fight against Germany.
"I'm afraid it won't be easy for Germany people to transfer South Seas and Australia to us." Kuniaki Koiso was a little worried.
"It depends on whether the Germany people have confidence in the future war. If the Germany people are sure of victory, even if they face Buru and at the same time, If both Empire and United States can win easily, then they will definitely not agree to our conditions. And if Germany is not sure of winning, or they will pay a higher price. If the price is high, then Germany people are undoubtedly very likely to agree to our conditions. If Germany people agree, then we can first transfer South Seas to Australia. Get it. As for whether we will fulfill our promise and join Allied Powers in the battle, we can see the specific situation at that time, and we can wait for the price!" Seishiro Itagaki continued.
The other Island Nation ministers couldn't help but laugh. Although, Seishiro Itagaki's idea is a bit shameless. However, for Island Nation, it is undoubtedly of great benefit. If South Seas and Australia could be deceived from the Germany people first, then Island Nation would have picked up these two colonies in vain. This will allow Island Nation to have greater capital to compete with other powerful countries in the future.
"What if Germany people refuse? Then, what should Empire do?" Fumimaro Konoe asked. According to Seishiro Itagaki, if Germany refuses, it means that Germany is confident of winning.
"If Germany people really refuse! Then Empire may be in a huge crisis. By that time, we will have no other choice but to try our best to defeat Germany." Seishiro Itagaki said with a serious face.
Fumimaro Konoe nodded. "Indeed, by that time, we will have no other choice but to fight hard. However, with the Empire's strength and determination, Germany people will definitely pay a huge price if they want to defeat us!"
"Ugaki-kun, arrange for our people to get in touch with the Germany people! Anyway, this is not a bad thing. If it succeeds, it will be of great benefit to the Empire. Even if it doesn't succeed, it will just go back to the original plan!" Fumimaro Konoe said.
"Yes, Prime Minister." Kuniaki Koiso nodded.
The current Island Nation has not declared war on Germany. Therefore, the embassy of Island Nation in Germany is still operating normally.
After receiving instructions from the country, island nation's ambassador to Germany went to the German Foreign Ministry and had a meeting with German Foreign Minister Gustav? Stresemann. This meeting lasted for two hours. However, no one outside could know the specific content of the conversation between the two.
In the afternoon of that day, Gustav? Streseman reported the news to German Emperor Oscar.
Oscar sneered after learning about Island Nation's wishful thinking.
"These Island Nation people are really shameless. At this point, they still want to be wallflowers. South Seas and Australia, which are important colonies of the Empire, how can we give it to them for nothing?" Oscar's attitude is undoubtedly very obvious, that is, it is impossible to agree to the Island Nation people's request.
"Your Majesty, Island Nation people can develop to be so powerful today entirely because of the support of Americans. Without the support of Americans, they would not have such a strong military strength. Now, they want to betray United States. I have to admit that these Island Nation people are indeed shameless. However, the strong military strength of Your Majesty, Island Nation is undoubtedly a huge threat to the Empire. Although, we are in South Seas and Australia We are all ready to fight against the invasion of Island Nation. However, the power of the Empire cannot be invested in South Seas and Australia. Therefore, if the Island Nation people attack, we will suffer a lot and even lose a lot. The colony can only be held in some areas. We may be able to stabilize the Island Nation people first, and then give them a clear answer after we defeat Buru." Field Marshal Manstein suggested.
