Chapter 877 I treated him as an ally, he treated us as pigs
"I'd like to hear more about it." Ruth turned around and brought coffee to Robert and asked with a smile.
"What a wild idea," Robert said to Ruth after rubbing his temple. "I know very well that if this is done well, it will be of great help to our future improvement, but the problem is, it's too difficult."
"Sir Robert, you know me well. If I hadn't found a solution, I wouldn't have mentioned this." Robert nodded calmly. "Now, I can say that I'd like to hear more about it."
"Sir Robert, if we help them build the southern railway, then the army will no longer worry about the navy intercepting their supplies."
I see. Robert laughed and said, "That's a good idea indeed."
Watsontown White House.
After George finished processing the documents in his hand, he prepared to go for a walk in the yard. Just as he was about to get up, Foreign Secretary Wilson came up to him and handed him a telegram: "This is an urgent secret message sent by Robert. Take a look."
George reached out and read the message and asked, "What do you think?"
"I certainly don't object to their proposal, but there is a flaw. There is a high possibility of conflict between us and London."
"Disputes, discontent, whatever, are secondary. Our primary concern right now is to safeguard the interests of the Empire," George said, putting the telegram down. "If it ensures the safety of the Empire, then sacrificing their interests is acceptable. But I want to know if doing so will cause London to fall out with us."
"That's not the case. They know very well that we are the primary provider of material aid to them. If they fall out with us, their material aid will be greatly reduced or even terminated."
"Then we have nothing to worry about." George stood up and glanced at him. "Let's go and see the President. I think he knows better than us whether we need to do this."
Roosevelt had just finished breakfast and was reading today's newspaper when the two men arrived. Roosevelt put the newspaper aside and asked, "You two come to me at the same time. Have you encountered any difficult problems?"
George handed over the telegram in his hand; "This is from Robert, take a look first."
Assisted the Japanese army in building the southern railway of Yamashiro.
As for the reason, it is not mentioned above, but we are all smart people and can understand it without explanation.
Roosevelt paused for a moment and said, "This is the spontaneous behavior of businessmen. It has nothing to do with us. We are a free and democratic country. We can only coordinate and manage the well-being of the people. As for how businessmen make money, that has nothing to do with us, and we have no right to control it. I say this, do you understand?"
George smiled and said, "This is a spontaneous action by the people. It has nothing to do with us."
"I understand. As for Tokyo," Roosevelt felt depressed. He didn't know how to evaluate the state of a country's national defense and military power.
"Freedom of movement among the people." Zhou Weiguo smiled after taking a sip of his tea. "They themselves wouldn't believe it."
Ruth handed the candy she had prepared to Zhou Weiguo. "There's nothing we can do. We can't just get involved directly. After all, we can't really fall out with London. We can only use this deceptive method to contact Tokyo and help them build this railway."
"It seems that this war will be mainly concentrated in Southeast Asia and South Asia. This is a good thing. It will indirectly reduce a lot of pressure on Berlin. If Tokyo occupies these places, their next target will definitely be to attack your homeland."
"Are you so sure? Can't they attack you first? After all, your presence has seriously affected their supply delivery."
"The purpose of war is to seize resources and living space. Over the years, the Japanese army has occupied the areas outside the Great Wall, Songhuhang in North China, and parts of central, southern, and southeastern China, and has already controlled a large amount of living space. There is no need for them to waste their efforts. If we still have resources, it would be fine for them to seize them, but the problem is, we have resources in our mountain city."
Yes, but it has not been discovered yet. If it has not been discovered, then it does not exist.
"This is one, two, several large-scale battles. We have won and lost against the Japanese army. He should know that we are not that easy to deal with. If it were you, you would go to deal with a group of tough guys and not get much supplies. You would do such a thing."
"I'm not stupid." Ruth shrugged.
"That's it, then. If you won't agree, how can the Tokyo leaders agree?" Zhou Weiguo put down his teacup and stood up. "Well, it's over now, and I should prepare to go back. Two of the Japanese divisions have already landed in Yangon. A new round of fighting is about to begin, and it's time for me to return to my place."
"Then I'll prepare a rich dinner for you tonight. I don't think you'll be back for a while after you leave."
"Perhaps, but who knows? Perhaps once the battle line stabilizes over there, I'll have other missions." Zhou Weiguo turned his head to look at him and smiled. "Tell me, if London knew you were pulling this trick, would they go crazy?"
"I'm afraid only Winston himself knows."
Snapped……
Winston angrily overturned the documents on the table to the ground.
"Despicable! These despicable Watsonton pigs are truly despicable. My Empire considered them allies, but we never expected them to do this to us." He shook the telegram in his hand a few times, then looked up at Colonial Secretary Smith and Foreign Secretary John George and said, "This is a spontaneous act of the people. Can you believe it? This is a spontaneous act of the people."
What kind of spontaneous civilian action can provide Tokyo with railway construction and transportation? If they don't get approval, would they dare to do so?
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister is saying that, for the sake of their own homeland's security, they are despicably assisting Tokyo in building the Yamashiro Southern Railway to connect it to Annan. This practice is intended to plunge my entire Southeast Asia and South Asian colonies into a post-war period, using this area to delay the main force of the Japanese army and preserve their own safety."
"Shameless!" Winston clapped his hands in anger before slumping back into his chair. "It's already clear they're trying to replicate the methods of war from decades ago, accumulating funds for themselves. When one side clearly has the upper hand, they'll seize the fruits of victory and ultimately achieve victory. We absolutely cannot allow this to happen. If it does, our Empire will no longer be the dominant force in this world, and we will become its sinners."
"What does the Prime Minister mean?" asked Colonial Secretary Smith cautiously.
