I am the emperor in Nanyang, I am the ultimate winner

Chapter 249 The Powerless Dongyang Kingdom

When Army Minister Kiyotaka Watanabe saw the Navy Minister walk into the conference room, he suddenly became furious.

He glared and said angrily: "You navy dwarfs!"

"The Empire used up most of the country's strength to build this joint fleet, but you defeated it so easily."

"You actually have the nerve to come here. You are simply shameless."

"You should commit suicide immediately to thank the world!"

Navy Minister Yamamoto Noriyuki's face flushed. He stood up suddenly, pointed his finger at the Army Minister, and said in a voice full of indignation and accusation: "You speak as if you have won the victory."

"Three million soldiers are unable to defeat one million enemies. Aren't you a disgrace to the empire?"

War Minister Kiyotaka Watanabe fired back: “How can this be compared?”

"If our army had as much military budget as your navy, we would have occupied the Great State long ago."

"And now all the consequences are caused by your navy."

"What is your intention in attacking Yan Country for no reason?"

Navy Minister Yamamoto Noriyuki was so angry that he trembled all over and retorted loudly: "You..."

"What do you mean? Did I say something wrong?" Army Minister Kiyotaka Watanabe continued to ask.

As the two were arguing, Emperor Ito Eiji spoke up: "Enough, how can you quarrel like this?"

"I'm not here to listen to your quarrels. We must face the current predicament together and find a way to solve it."

The Minister of the Army and the Minister of the Navy, Kiyotaka Watanabe, both realized their own mistakes and quickly bowed their heads to apologize: "Your Majesty, please calm down and forgive me."

Emperor Ito Eiji continued with a gloomy expression: "We are now trapped on the mainland and cannot leave."

"The United States is no longer intervening in this matter. It seems that they have completely given up on us."

Army Minister Kiyotaka Watanabe responded with a serious face: "Your Majesty is right."

"At present, all our sea areas have been blocked by Yan Country, and we are bombed by Yan Country's strategic bombers every day, and missiles are attacked from time to time."

"Our industry has been destroyed, and we have less than 3000 fighter planes of all types left. Our navy has been completely wiped out."

The Emperor took a deep breath and asked slowly: "So, do you think it is still possible to negotiate with Yan Country now?"

Watanabe Kiyotaka shook his head heavily and replied: "Your Majesty, from the current situation, unless we surrender unconditionally, there is no way out."

Navy Minister Yamamoto Noriyuki frowned and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, if we surrender, we will never have the capital to rise again!"

The emperor sighed and said helplessly: "Don't I know what you are talking about?"

"But now that things have come to this, what else can we do?"

Army Minister Kiyotaka Watanabe frowned and responded: "Your Majesty, if we choose to surrender now, I am afraid we will lose our complete autonomy."

"Instead, we can continue to implement the 100 million suicide plan."

"After all, we have been operating locally for many years and have certain advantages."

"As long as Yan Country realizes that they cannot annex us quickly, they will definitely consider the negotiation route."

"Then we will be able to put forward conditions that are as favorable to us as possible."

Army Minister Kiyotaka Watanabe then added: "Your Majesty, I think this plan is feasible."

Emperor Ito Eiji was silent for a moment, and finally said: "In that case, let's do as you said."

Everyone answered in unison: "Hi!"

At this moment, there were bursts of fierce bombing explosions again above the air-raid shelter where they were.

Obviously, a new round of bombing by Yan State has begun.

Time flies, and it is already the end of the year.

The Yan State prepared for war, assembled an army of 200,000 soldiers and marines, and landed on the island in a mighty force, marking the beginning of this fierce battle.

In the initial stage, the progress was extremely smooth, and the army advanced more than ten kilometers like a hot knife through butter.

However, when they went deep into enemy territory, they encountered unprecedented stubborn resistance.

The enemy used all kinds of despicable means to try to stop the advance of the Yan army.

The most insidious trick was to have women hide grenades in their arms, and then rush forward and die with the Yan army when they were unprepared.

The appearance of these women caught the Yan army off guard and they were unable to defend themselves.

What is even more distressing is that the enemy also used children and the elderly as human bombs, causing huge casualties to the Yan Army.

Faced with such a dangerous situation, the Yan army was caught in a dilemma.

If the killing is carried out indiscriminately, it will inevitably lead to strong condemnation from the international community.

But if you show mercy, you may bring disaster upon yourself.

After just half a month of fierce fighting, more than half of the 200,000-strong army was lost.

In desperation, the Minister of Defense had to order a retreat and wait until the spring of the following year to launch another offensive.
