Chapter 372 Australia’s resources make the Japanese army jealous!

The effect of this meeting was indeed good, at least Cun Yunsheng got a signal.

That is, everything he did has begun to attract the attention of some bigwigs.

Not only that, they have even started investing in him.

According to information disclosed by Zheng Bei, the North American Chinese Chamber of Commerce has raised more than three million US dollars and is purchasing a series of equipment.

This touched Cun Yunsheng deeply.

No matter what, these people paid out real money.

In response to these people's support, Cun Yunsheng naturally wanted to give them hope.

Originally, he had been causing trouble for Britain and the United States, but now Cun Yunsheng felt that he should not favor one over the other.

So we prepared to give the Japanese army a little surprise so that they would shift their attention elsewhere.

"It seems that we have to find something for the Japanese army to do. The Japanese army is still not crazy enough." Cun Yunsheng murmured.

He remembered the One Hundred Million Death Plan clearly.

Where are you now?

What can these millions of Japanese troops do?

"Sir, what do you want to do now?" Meng Fan, who was familiar with Cun Yunsheng, asked suspiciously.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about how to give the Japanese army a surprise."

"What actions has the Japanese army taken recently?" Cun Yunsheng first shook his head and then asked.

Hearing this, Meng Fanle, who had always been respectful, immediately said, "There is no movement. The five divisions of the Kwantung Army are attacking Changsha. At present, it seems to be in a stalemate. There should not be any major changes for a while."

"If the Kwantung Army needs to send more troops later, it will be hard to say."

After all, the strength of the Kwantung Army is obvious to all, with almost a hundred soldiers.

It's just 100,000 people, which is nothing at all.

If another 100,000 people were to be mobilized, it would be really troublesome.

This is what Meng Fanle is worried about.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but sneer, and said disdainfully: "If I hadn't been so busy, how could I have allowed the little devils to be so arrogant."

Then Cun Yunsheng stared at a map again, on which was clearly marked the Australian resource mining survey map.

The map shows in detail the coal mines and iron ore resources in Australia, and more importantly, bauxite and other resources, as well as oil and so on.

Especially bauxite resources, which are resources that the Japanese army values ​​very much.

Because it is one of the important sources for the production of Zero fighters.

Since the introduction of all-metal monoplane fighters, the application of aluminum alloys has become more and more widespread, so the Japanese army also attaches great importance to bauxite resources.

This map was drawn by Cun Yunsheng based on his memories of later generations, especially the bauxite resources. If Cun Yunsheng remembers correctly, Australia's bauxite production is still very high.

"Sir, don't you want to investigate this?" Meng Fanle asked curiously.

"Does it need to be investigated?" Cun Yunsheng chuckled.

“Just seeing such a large piece of land is exciting.”

"Not to mention these resources. I believe the Japanese army would be very excited if they saw this resource map."

Huge iron ore and bauxite.

And oil and so on.

This means that the Japanese military industry will be greatly improved.

As long as the Japanese soldiers are not fools, they will definitely be tempted.

Perhaps at that time the Japanese army might also have the opportunity to use the Iron Tide.

These are not impossible to achieve.

Of course, it would take decades to achieve the steel torrent.

You have to know that when the Soviet army collapsed, it only had 70,000 to 80,000 tanks and tens of thousands of aircraft. It spent decades of its wealth and finally failed.

There is no way, the amount of steel consumed is simply a terrifying number.

So the Iron Torrent is not something that ordinary countries can afford, but if the Japanese army occupied Australia.

It's not that there is no hope.

At least give people some hope.

"Sir, are these all true?" Meng Fanle asked doubtfully.

"Of course it's true, but some of them are difficult to mine. They are buried deep underground. With current technology, it is too difficult to mine them." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said.

Hearing the word "true", Meng Fanle couldn't help but breathe faster. If all these could be drawn out, he would definitely make a fortune.

"As rich as a country!" Meng murmured in frustration.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng took another look at Meng Fanle and said with a smile: "It is indeed rich enough to rival a country, but we can just take a look at it. He is our ally, don't think too much about it."

"Anyone who becomes your ally will be in great trouble." Meng Fanle shook his head with a sarcastic look on his face.

ally?

In Cun Yunsheng's dictionary, allies seem to be used to trap others.

"Really? Am I not learning the spirit of the British? Just try your best to dig up your allies." Cun Yunsheng said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Meng Fanle quickly understood what Cun Yunsheng meant.

"Yes, that's right. I hope this resource map can mobilize the enthusiasm of the Japanese army." Cun Yunsheng murmured as he looked at the map.

"Aren't you afraid that the Japanese army will get this map, and then their strength will increase dramatically, and they will come back to beat us up?" Meng Fanle asked with some concern.

"It's okay. The ones who should be worried are the US military. What does it have to do with us? At worst, we can just be cowards. The Japanese shouldn't be interested in poor places like ours."

"Besides, this little Japanese guy is probably eager to move away." Cun Yunsheng said without denying it.

"It's a pity to give such a detailed resource distribution map to the Japanese army." Meng Fanle said.

"We are just letting the Japanese army complete the preliminary work for us. Maybe we will have a chance to take it back in the future. After all, we are allies. We still have to help our allies when they are in trouble." Cun Yunsheng said meaningfully.

"As for collecting some things, that's normal."

"What do you think? Is this the truth?"

"Well, you are really shameless." Meng Fanle was completely convinced.

Meng Fanle’s words made Cun Yunsheng smile slightly. Was he wrong?

Why do people in later generations always talk about the difficulty of mining? It is because the cost is there. If you want to make money, you must control the cost. For example, if a liter of oil only sells for six yuan, and your cost is only five yuan, why bother mining? You will lose money and no one is willing to do it.

But it’s different now. The so-called cost is directly passed on to the Japanese army.

When the time comes, we can let the Japanese army help to open the mine, and we can just sit back and reap the benefits.

In fact, Cun Yunsheng never understood what the Japanese army was thinking. What was the point of not occupying such a large island and just making a small fight in such a place?
There is no future at all. How could it be more fun than attacking Australia?
Before, he guessed that the Japanese army probably didn't know that Australia had these resources.

But now it’s different. With this map, I believe those greedy Japanese will definitely take action against Australia.

It clearly shows the distribution of resources, estimated production capacity, etc.

Unless the Japanese military headquarters has a collective breakdown and is out of their minds, given their ambitions they will definitely attack Australia.

The reason for the wars was to obtain a large amount of resources in order to enhance the country's destiny.

If we had this map, the combined fleet could have doubled in size.
In other words, the number of fighter jets will also increase.

Then everything will become very interesting.

I'm afraid the US military's focus will have to shift a little bit.

Do not!
It should be said that Stilwell would receive greater support.

In that case, it would be a good opportunity for Cun Yunsheng to fish in troubled waters.

"I just don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing to take out this map so early!" Cun Yunsheng murmured.

"No matter what, we won't lose anything. It's the Japanese army that will lose anyway."

"Go ahead. It's time to get the secret agents to take action. They've been kept for so long, it's time to send them out. Whether they can change the situation depends on them."

In fact, Cun Yunsheng didn’t know what the battle situation would become after taking out these things.

But after comprehensive consideration, Cun Yunsheng thought it would be better to take it out first.

This continued to stimulate the potential of the Japanese army.

He felt that the current Japanese military potential was still insufficient.

We should all tighten our belts and build more warships and fighter planes.

"Activate the secret agents and make sure to deliver this map to the Japanese army." Cun Yunsheng ordered.

"Yes."

…………

"Is this true?" Hideki Tojo asked with a frown as he looked at the telegram in front of him.

"Hai, Your Excellency Prime Minister, this is true!" said the secretary respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Hideki Tojo's eyes lit up and his breathing quickened. If this was true, it would be really good news for the empire.

The numbers on the map were so unbelievable to him.

I always feel like these are traps.

But it feels true.

If these resources can really be obtained.

Do not!
Especially the bauxite, I'm afraid the number of the empire's fighter planes will double.

At that time, do you still need to care about fighting with the enemy?

If these maps were leaked, I believe those people would definitely go crazy.

As for the mining cost?
It's not a problem at all.

Occupying so much territory and so many natives, especially the territory controlled by the Southern Army, which has a large number of natives, they can transport them over and use them to mine minerals.

As for those wealthy places, you can consider immigration.

As for salary?

What kind of salary is paid?
Just take care of the three meals.

If they had these things, the strength of the Japanese army would definitely double. However, Hideki Tojo didn't know whether the information in front of him was true or not, or if it was just a trap.

I'm afraid the enemy is already waiting for them on the island.

"It's real. It was sent by someone from Mitsui & Co." the secretary said quickly.

Upon hearing this, Hideki Tojo's eyes lit up. He knew the capabilities of Mitsui & Co.

Since they delivered it, it means it must be real.

It just so happens that Australia also has its immigrants, and perhaps among the immigrants sent by Mitsui & Co., some are from the exploration team.

Anyway, with the endorsement of Mitsui & Co., Hideki Tojo believed that he should know this.

"I will report this discovery to His Majesty the Emperor." After saying this, Hideki Tojo took the map and walked towards the Imperial Palace.

Not only that, the Navy Minister Mitsumasa Yonai was also notified.

There is no way. This kind of thing cannot be accomplished without notifying the Navy.

"Your Majesty, if we have these resources, our navy can be expanded several times. We will completely become the overlord of the Pacific Ocean, and the empire will not have to live on this small island." Navy Minister Mitsumasa Yonai was the first to stand up and speak after listening.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the army will have more tanks and planes." Hideki Tojo stood up and said, not to be outdone.

"Your Majesty, this is a battle that will change the fate of the empire. Please allow us to gamble on our national destiny."

When Emperor Hirohito heard that he had to gamble the fate of the country, he hesitated. The price was too high.

How many times has the fate of the country been at stake?
If something really happens, we'll be doomed.

And immigrated to Australia.

The amount of supplies needed is really huge.

"Your Majesty, since the Meiji Restoration of the Empire, every war has been a gamble on the country's destiny, but we have won every time and the empire has become so powerful. Now is the time to completely change our destiny. In addition to these minerals, Australia is several times larger than our territory and is not troubled by earthquakes and volcanoes. This time it is worth it for us to gamble all our national destiny." Hideki Tojo said excitedly.

This piece of fat is so big that it can make everyone lose their minds. It would be a waste not to eat the fat that is so close to them.

If the main force of the US military is still in the Pacific, the Japanese army may have to consider whether to gamble on the country's destiny.

After all, Isoroku Yamamoto had already proposed to attack Australia and use it as a transit supply station.

They rejected the proposal, but now it seems that rejection was unwise.

The main force of the US military is not in the Pacific. If you don’t take action now, you’d be a fool.

Finally, Emperor Hirohito decided to gamble all the fate of the country: "Then I will follow the advice of all the nobles and gamble the fate of the empire. If we win, the empire will become a first-class power. If we lose, the empire will completely decline. It's up to you, gentlemen."

"Hai!"

"We will definitely live up to the trust of His Majesty the Emperor!" Everyone stood up and said respectfully.

At this moment, the two major military branches, the navy and the army, put aside all their conflicts and worked together with the goal of seizing those minerals in Australia.

"Order, the whole country will immediately enter general war mobilization, and all men of military age must participate in military service." Hideki Tojo said decisively.

"Hai!"

"Twenty more divisions will be drawn from China to form an expeditionary force."

"At the same time, organize immigrants and board the ship at any time."

"Hay."

At the same time, Navy Minister Mitsumasa Yonai also issued the same order: "Order: All shipyards should speed up the progress. Order: Yamamoto Isoroku should lead the main force of the fleet to return immediately to assist the army in landing!"

"Hi!"

Suddenly, the entire Japanese army was mobilized for war. It must be said that the island nation that was mobilized was terrible. All men of appropriate age entered the barracks, and those officers who were still in the reserve were all sent to active service for the purpose of training new recruits.

When all the Japanese generals in China received the telegram, they were stunned.

If it weren't for the base camp's seal on the back, they would have suspected it was fake.

The most important thing is that sentence.

"This order is extremely urgent. You must execute it from the moment you receive the telegram. Otherwise, you will be charged with treason!"

This scared all the Japanese generals.

When did the base camp use such harsh words?
