"Excuse me Philippine Islands?" General Seishiro Itagaki stood up from the chair with a look of disbelief.
The other important ministers of Island Nation's Cabinet also looked at Advisor Hopkins in surprise. Obviously, I did not expect that United States would propose such a plan. This is something they have never thought of before!
In the Island Nation's Army's plan, they launched an attack on South Seas and Australia. They had to wait until Island Nation Navy defeated German Navy and gained control of the sea before launching an attack. After all, to land on South Seas and Australia, we must rely on the protection and support of the navy.
After the navy's failure, Island Nation's Army originally thought they would have to wait patiently for a while. But I didn't expect that Americans would come up with such a Audacious plan.
"Everyone, if you use Philippine Islands as a springboard, Island Nation's Army can easily land on South Seas, right? With Philippine Islands, you can easily capture Dutch East Indies. Return to the north and attack Indochina and attack Australia south. Even without the support of the navy, you have a high chance of victory. In fact, Island Nation Navy can even reverse the situation and defeat German Navy in one fell swoop!" Advisor Hopkins continued.
All the Island Nation ministers were stunned. Of course they knew how feasible this plan was.
"We can send a large number of Army Air Corps aircraft to Philippine Islands. In this case, we will not be afraid of the threat from German Navy to us. In Army Air Corps Under the protection of's aircraft, our transport ships can directly transport troops to Philippine Islands, or even land on Dutch East Indies and other places," General Seishiro Itagaki said excitedly.
"If we can use Philippine Islands, after the army captures Dutch East Indies, German Navy's activity space will also be compressed by us. In fact, it is not impossible to drive them away from South Seas." Admiral Mitsumasa Yonai also said.
These Island Nation important ministers all realized that this was undoubtedly an opportunity for them. As long as we seize this opportunity, it is not impossible for the Island Nation's Army to enter South Seas and Australia. Relatively speaking, that would be very easy.
"Gentlemen, it seems that you also agree with this plan very much. Then, let's implement it according to this plan! US government hopes that you can succeed this time!" Advisor Hopkins said.
"Advisor, if we have Philippines as a springboard, we will definitely be able to defeat the Germany people!" General Seishiro Itagaki said confidently.
Advisor Hopkins nodded with satisfaction, regardless of whether the Island Nation people could defeat the Germany people in South Seas and Australia. But at least after they send a large army to attack, it will put a lot of pressure on Germany, thereby containing some German military. This already makes US government very satisfied.
"Your Excellency, advisor, is your country planning to go to war with Germany?" Fumimaro Konoe Prime Minister asked.
After all, Philippines is a colony of United States. If Island Nation's Army enters Philippines, it will definitely be regarded as United States and Island Nation joining forces.
Advisor Hopkins shook his head. "Now is not the time for us to go to war with Germany. This time, it is you who sneak attack United States and occupy Philippine Islands. Of course, our troops stationed at Philippine Islands will not resist, but will cooperate with you in using those military facilities. The various war materials we store on Philippine Islands will also be given to you for use."
Fumimaro Konoe Prime Minister and others immediately understood what US government meant. Americans is not ready for war yet, so he does not want to start a war with Germany at this time. A typical example of someone who wants to be a bitch but also wants to build a chastity memorial.
However, this is undoubtedly very beneficial to Island Nation. With the help of Philippine Islands, they can launch an attack on South Seas and Australia without the navy being able to control the sea. This will further increase their chances of winning this battle.
"Prime Minister, US government hope to sign a secret agreement with the Island Nation government. After the war, your country will return Philippine Islands to United States!" Advisor Hopkins said.
"Advisor, this is of course. We are just temporarily using Philippine Islands to attack the Germany people. After we defeat the Germany people, we will definitely return Philippine Islands to United States!" Fumimaro Konoe Prime Minister said immediately.
Philippine Islands is Americans's important foothold in the Asia-Pacific region, and of course they will not give up. Even after winning the war, in order to check and balance Island Nation, they will keep Philippine Islands.
"In addition, we can gradually withdraw our hundreds of thousands of soldiers on Philippine Islands into the country. Our government hopes that they can be properly resettled!" Advisor Hopkins reminded.
Island Nation's Army's reputation is not very good, US government doesn't want US Army in Philippines to be treated as a prisoner of war by Island Nation people. In that case, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to the military.
"Of course. Advisor, please rest assured that we will definitely properly arrange for those US officers and soldiers!" General Seishiro Itagaki assured, patting his chest.
"Everyone, then we have reached an agreement!" Advisor Hopkins said with a smile. His trip to Tokyo was undoubtedly a complete success.
Island Nation's Cabinet's important ministers all laughed. They were very happy and thought they would soon be able to enter South Seas and Australia. Once South Seas and Australia are occupied, the rich resources there will immediately enable Island Nation to get rid of its dependence on United States. They will also have greater autonomy in future international situations.
That night, Advisor Hopkins and Fumimaro Konoe Prime Minister signed their names on the secret contract.
Advisor Hopkins did not stay longer in Tokyo, and took a flight back to United States the next morning to resume his life. Island Nation's Army and others are preparing to send troops to Philippines.
Island Nation's Army Air Corps has stationed Okinawa and Treasure Island one after another. With the help of these fighters, Island Nation's transport fleet can be kept safe on the Yellow Sea and East China Sea. Then cross Bashi Strait and land on Philippines.
Island Nation's Army's elite troops have also begun to mobilize. With the cooperation of Americans, they only need to send a small number of troops to occupy Philippine Islands. At that time, a large number of Island Nation's Army Air Corps aircraft will fly to Philippines and stationed at those US military airports. A large number of the Island Nation's Army elite troops will then set off to land on Philippine Islands. Then use Philippine Islands as a base to launch an attack on South Seas and Australia.
