Lost and Spy

Philippines, Japanese Tenth Army Headquarters.

There was a complete silence in the conference room.

It was Masaharu Honma, the commander of the Tenth Army, who was the first to say: "Everyone, you already know the serious situation. The U.S. military has launched continuous attacks, and the empire has suffered great losses.

The Philippines, Siam, Malay Island and other places will be shelled, bombed, and landed at any time. We are preparing for the coming tragic war.

Mr. Shintani, please tell us about the predicament we are currently facing. "

Shinya Takuma glanced at everyone: "We lack everything, ammunition, fire support, and materials. Although we are doing our best to prepare, according to estimates, if the Americans launch an attack within half a year, our current material reserves, It's only enough to last for a month, or even a shorter time."

"There's nothing to worry about."

A Japanese army commander got up and said: "There are no bullets, so we will use knives to chop off the heads of those Americans. If there is nothing to eat, we can eat leaves, grass roots, and everything that can be eaten in our stomachs! In short, the empire's Soldiers will never give in."

"I am very moved by your spirit." Shinya Takuma said calmly: "However, relying on spirit and perseverance is not enough to bring victory. Everyone, I want to tell you how strong our enemy is!
On the front line, the Americans have stockpiled 47 tons of supplies, and they are still being replenished.The entire material storage space has reached its limit, but the Americans are still delivering materials to the front line!
It only took them ten days to establish a temporary port on the newly captured Saipan Island. A large amount of military and civilian supplies were continuously transported here. This temporary port has already supported tens of thousands of troops. All expenses! "

The Colonel sat down.

Fighting is not just about bravery.

Of course they knew that the Americans were rich, but they would never have imagined that they were so rich.

"While we are having a headache about how to reserve strategic materials, the Americans are worrying about how to consume materials and make room! Everyone, you can think about it carefully, what a terrible thing this is."

Takuma Shintani continued: "I can tell you vividly that the US military has the highest logistics supply in the world, and no country has so many supplies.

Including the empire, the logistics supplies of various countries are usually nothing more than weapons and ammunition, rations, and fuel. Basically, combat materials account for the highest proportion. Except for ammunition, food and some equipment that needs to be supplemented, there is basically nothing else.

The U.S. Army is different, even clothes, shoes and socks, scarves and gloves are supplemented, and if it catches up with Christmas, there will be turkeys to eat, and even white tablecloths.

The U.S. military stipulates that each soldier has more than one catty of candy per month, ensuring that soldiers have candy every day. Coca-Cola is a must-have drink for U.S. soldiers, and it is an unlimited supply. Beer is even more indispensable.

In order to make it easier for soldiers in combat to drink steaming coffee, the U.S. military has specially developed instant coffee. Wherever U.S. soldiers go, they are Santa Claus for women and children. "

Having said that, Masahiro Honma took out a thick stack of documents, as if to prove what Takuma Shinya said:

"I was shocked after reading the information. The logistics command of the US military is responsible for ordering weapons, equipment and ammunition, and distributing them to each theater.

According to the number of soldiers participating in the battle, according to the predetermined supply amount, the supply should be more, not less, and this link should not be stuck.

Then start to deploy various ships and aircraft for transportation. If the army is not enough, it will rent civilian merchant ships, and if the country is not enough, it will rent merchant ships from other countries. It doesn't care about money, but only needs to be supplied in sufficient quantities. "

He asked Xinya Takuma to share the information with these officers: "Everyone, we will face the cruelest war. Perhaps, it is a tragedy that you have never encountered since you joined the army!"

When seeing this information, every Japanese officer's face looked cloudy and uncertain.

Although they had already prepared that this would not be an easy war, they never expected that the gap between the United States and Japan would be so large.

"Even so, each of us must have the determination to die for the empire and His Majesty the Emperor!"

Since Masahiro Honma let her subordinates know the gap, she immediately encouraged her: "Although the Americans have the advantage in supplies, their fighting courage and determination to die are not our opponents at all!
As long as we can stand here for three months, at most half a year, the courage and confidence of the Americans will be completely crushed, they will tremble and retreat amidst the roar of the empire, and victory will surely belong to the empire! "

"Victory must belong to the empire, victory must belong to His Majesty the Emperor!"

All the officers stood up and shouted.

After the officers left, Homma Masaharu left Yamada Yoshitaro and Shintani Takuma alone.

"Your Excellency Yamada." Masahiro Honma said, "The empire is negotiating with the Americans, and the Americans' request is that they must improve the treatment of their prisoners of war.

For this reason, they are willing to allow a Japanese merchant ship to serve as a humanitarian rescue ship.According to news from China, those domestic politicians are still arguing, but it is very likely that it will pass.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the last chance to leave Manila. We will take this opportunity to evacuate important people and expatriates. Mr. Yamada, you are also on the evacuation list. "

At this time, Yoshitaro Yamada wanted to show his determination: "No, I will stay and fight side by side with Your Excellency Commander!"

"Your Excellency Yamada, we are soldiers, and soldiers have the duties of soldiers."

Benma Yaqing interrupted him: "Besides, you are not running away, but you have a more important responsibility!"

Speaking of this, his voice lowered a little: "I received an order from the country that once the US-Japan negotiations are successful, the important materials from the Philippines must be transported to the ship and brought back to Japan.

Mr. Yamada, you are in charge of this matter.Fight the war, leave it to us, and bring the supplies back to the country, leave it to you.This batch of supplies is of great significance for the empire to win the final victory! "

"Understood, Your Excellency Commander." Yoshitaro Yamada took a deep breath: "I promise that I will not disappoint the expectations of the empire."

Takuma Shintani had been listening from the sidelines.

The Japanese are finally about to start doing it.

The search for a humanitarian rescue ship is of great significance to the Japanese.

Even, they will leave with a large amount of gold and cultural relics.

Meng Shaoyuan must now race against time.

As for whether he can win time and succeed, Xinya Takuma has no idea in his heart!
