"Gentlemen, United States's special envoy is coming soon. So, what kind of request should we make to Americans this time?" Fumimaro Konoe asked.
Although, they all know that Americans has been raising Island Nation like a dog. However, they definitely don't want this to continue forever. Now Island Nation has to participate in the war, but they hope to participate in the war as allies. And after defeating the Germany people, they can get the benefits they deserve. In this case, they will undoubtedly be satisfied. After all, Germany is too powerful. Even if Island Nation can win this war, the loss will not be too small. Therefore, they must compete for more benefits for themselves.
"Prime Minister, after the war, if we can defeat the Germany people. Then, South Seas and Australia and Germany will account for Pacific Ocean The islands we occupy must belong to us! Only in this way can we have enough room for strategic maneuvering and have the capital to confront United States!" said Foreign Minister Kuniaki Koiso.
Once Germany really falls, then United States will undoubtedly become the most powerful organization in the world. Island Nation and United States are on Pacific Ocean. Without the threat of Germany, there will be great opposition and even conflict due to interests. Island Nation's Mainland is too small and lacks resources, leaving little room for change. But if they can win South Seas and Australia, then their room for maneuver will be much greater.
"Yes, South Seas and Australia must be captured. Our soldiers sacrificed their lives to wrest it from the hands of the Germany people. Those lands must belong to us." Seishiro Itagaki said.
If South Seas and Australia are added together, the territory area is dozens of times that of Island Nation. Moreover, these areas are rich in resources, which have long made Island Nation people salivate. If Island Nation can occupy these territories, there is no doubt that Island Nation's strength will be further improved. There may not be any chance of competing with United States in the future.
Although, Island Nation has not yet joined the war, let alone defeated Germany. But this does not prevent them from starting to wonder what kind of benefits Island Nation will get after winning.
"United States will not refuse our request in order for us to join the war against the Germany people. If possible, it is best to get India as well. The Germany people are frantically plundering India The wealth and resources of have allowed Germany to develop more powerfully in the past two decades. If we can occupy India, Empire's take-off is just around the corner," said Finance Minister Seihin Ikeda.
For India, this piece of extremely rich land, Island Nation is naturally coveted. However, their strength is relatively weak, so that they have no way to occupy India and can only drool on the side. Now, the opportunity has finally come. If Germany can be defeated, perhaps India can be snatched away from the rule of Germany.
"We can use India as a condition for negotiation with United States. However, it is estimated that Americans will not agree." Fumimaro Konoe said. Although he also longs to occupy India, he knows how unrealistic this request is.
"We are asking for a high price, and Americans will pay back the money after landing. Let's talk to them first!" Naruhiko Higashikuni said.
Fumimaro Konoe nodded.
"Prime Minister, don't forget that after defeating Germany, you can ask for huge war compensation from Germany and Germany's allies. We must get a large part of this huge war compensation!" Naruhiko Higashikuni continued.
The current Island Nation government is so poor that it is about to lose its pants. If they can defeat Germany and then extort huge war reparations from all Allied Powers member states, then they can not only pay off all foreign debts, but also have a lot left over. By then, they will have more money to develop the country's economy and improve people's living standards. Island Nation people are tough and hardworking. However, since Meiji Restoration, they have been tightening their belts to support the government. They have been suffering for more than half a century now. If they are allowed to continue to suffer, the people will definitely not be able to accept it. In order to maintain the stability of the country's rule, they must make changes.
Fumimaro Konoe nodded. "We can discuss this issue with Americans. This time we will be the main country fighting against Germany. Even if Americans has to pay a little more, we can get at least a quarter of the war compensation."
The main country of the Anti-German Alliance this time is the United States, Russia, and the British Shikoku. Britain is lingering and lacks strength. Naturally, it is impossible to obtain much war reparations. But the Island Nation government believes that they are the main force on par with Russia. Therefore, they deserve a quarter or more. Of course, as the leader and the master of the Island Nation people, it is natural that United States should receive more war compensation after the war.
"Prime Minister, in addition to the distribution of benefits after the war, Americans also needs to do its best to support us during the war. Once the war starts, the consumption of various resources will skyrocket. We need enough steel, coal, stone Oil and other resources. These resources are heavily dependent on Americans. If these supplies are not supplied in time, this will seriously affect the combat effectiveness of our army," Navy Minister Mitsumasa Yonai reminded.
What I said before is all about the division of post-war interests, and there is a prerequisite for it, that is, Germany must be defeated. Only by winning against Germany can they share these benefits. If defeated, then of course everything would be over. At that time, let alone those jealous interests, even if you want to save the country, it will become a delusion.
"Yes, winning this war is the most important thing. Valiant of the Empire went to fight Americans, and Americans naturally had to ensure our supplies. Otherwise, how would we fight this war?" Fumimaro Konoe said.
"Gentlemen, I know everyone's requests. After American Ambassador arrives, I will hold talks with him. I believe that Americans will definitely agree to our requests. As long as we can win in the future war, then Empire's future will be bright!" Fumimaro Konoe said.
"Empire will win!" These Island Nation ministers also have unlimited vision for the future.
Amid the expectations of the Island Nation government, United States special envoy Hopkins arrived at Tokyo on a B-17 Bomber modified transport aircraft.
