Iron Germany

At noon on September 17, 1939, Tokyo, the capital of the island nation.

Before Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro had time to eat, he received the news that Germany had officially declared war on Russia. This is undoubtedly very important news for the island country. Konoe Fumimaro couldn't care less about eating, and immediately asked for Foreign Minister Ugaki Kasunari, Tibetan Minister Ikeda Chengbin, Land Minister Itagaki Seishiro, and Marine Minister Mitsumasa Yonechi.

"Great, we have been waiting for more than 20 years, and the Germans have finally launched a war against other countries again. This is undoubtedly a godsend opportunity for the empire!" Konoe Fumimaro looked excited.

Since the island country was defeated by Germany last time and suffered heavy losses. The previous cabinets of the island nation have all taken revitalizing their national and military power as their mission. Over the years, the island nation has tried its best, and with the support of the United States, it has once again developed a powerful navy. Even though the support from the United States was cut off later due to the impact of the economic crisis, the island country itself tightened its belt, built a large number of warships, and once again had a powerful navy. The army of the island country is also developing. Up to now, it has maintained a standing army of 30 divisions. Before the economic crisis, they even maintained a standing army of fifty divisions. Only because of the impact of the economic crisis and the limited financial resources of the government, twenty divisions were abolished. However, if necessary, they can immediately form more divisions and put them into battle.

Soon, several important cabinet ministers came to the prime minister's office. Their faces were also full of red light, as if they had encountered a great event.

For these important ministers of the island nation, Germany's declaration of war against Russia at this moment undoubtedly opened the prelude to a new war. This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for them. They all hope that the island country can take advantage of this war to defeat the former powerful enemy and rise again.

"Everyone, I think everyone already knows. The German emperor has just declared war on Bu Russia. The war has begun again!" Konoe Fumimaro said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. The war has begun again. More than 20 years after the end of the last world war, the war has finally begun again. This time, we must avenge our shame!" Said Minister Minai Mitsumasa One jumped out.

The other ministers nodded again and again, they could understand Minai Mitsumasa's excitement. Over the years, the navy of the island nation has been under a lot of pressure. Many islanders blame the navy for the last failure. This has also allowed the navy to gnash its teeth and develop over the years. Now, the strength of the navy has been greatly improved. Although it is far inferior to the German navy, the navy of the island country believes that when the main force of the German navy is pinned down in the Atlantic Ocean, they will definitely be able to defeat the German navy's fleet in the Pacific Ocean.

"Minei-kun, it seems that the navy is ready for war," Konoe Fumimaro said.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Prime Minister. I think not only the navy is ready, but the army is also ready," Minai Mitsumasa said.

"Of course, Minai-kun. The army is also preparing to occupy Nanyang again all the time, so that the empire can take off!" Lu Xiang, General Itagaki Seishiro, smiled.

The lack of resources in island countries has made them always regard the occupation of Nanyang as the key to making island countries take off. Now, this opportunity seems to be coming soon, which naturally makes them very excited.

"Your Excellency, Germany is the world's hegemon after all. Although they have declared war on Bu Russia. However, we cannot start war against them immediately. We need to wait for a while, and wait until the main force of Germany is put into the Bu-Russia battlefield. In this case, our odds of winning will be higher." Foreign Minister Kazushige Ugaki suggested.

"Yes, the Germans have grown stronger in the past 20 years. We have to be a little more cautious," said Prime Minister Ikeda Chengbin.

"Germany is very strong, but Bu Russia is not a weak country. Germany's attack on Bu Russia will soon fall into a stalemate. At that time, it is time for us to launch an attack." Seishiro Itagaki also said.

Although they can't wait to launch an attack on the German colonies immediately, the important ministers of the island's cabinet are not fools. They know very well that the war has just begun, and Germany's strength is still very strong. If you launch an offensive rashly, you will most likely be met with a strong counterattack from Germany. At that time, the island country may not only not be able to take advantage of it, but will pay a heavy price.

Although the current island country once again possesses a strong military force. However, this is the reason why the strength of the entire country has been accumulated. If it fails again this time, the island country will no longer have the power to turn around, which makes the island country have to be careful.

"Everyone, the war has begun. Our opportunity has come. Although it is not a good time to enter the war, we must prepare for the war. Once the Germans are deeply involved in the Russian battlefield, we will Immediately launch an attack, seize this opportunity, and snatch the German colonies in Southeast Asia and Australia in one fell swoop. If there is a chance, take India and the Middle East. In that case, the Great Japanese Empire will become the most powerful country in the world !” Konoe Fumimaro said.

The ambitions of the islanders did not stop because of the last failure, but swelled up again. They believe that this war will bring them an excellent opportunity. If they can grasp it well, the island country will get out of the predicament and become the most powerful country in the world.

Also like the island countries, Germany's declaration of war on Russia is regarded as a godsend opportunity, and Britain on the other side of the ocean. Although the current British government is lingering on its last legs. However, they firmly believe that one day they will be able to fight back to Europe and regain their homeland. Now, the opportunity seems to have come.

Prime Minister Churchill ordered the British Army and Navy to enter a state of emergency combat readiness. Once the United States and Germany go to war, they will participate in it and fully assist the United States in defeating Germany. Of course, at the same time, this is helping themselves. Only by defeating Germany can they regain their homeland.

Germany declared war on Russia, bringing the whole world into a state of war once again. Many protectorates of Germany and members of the Allied Powers also declared war on Russia. For a time, the entire European countries declared war on Bu Russia. The war has also turned into a war against more than 20 countries in Europe.
