Chapter 826: Mei’s Blatant Plot
If they hadn't meddled in other people's business, perhaps the Mountain City, Berlin and Fog City wouldn't have done such a thing.
"Misfortunes sent by Heaven can be forgiven, but those brought upon oneself cannot be forgiven," Nanzō Yunko added, following Okamura Yasuji's lead. "My father said that the situation has changed, and we should advise the headquarters to suspend the general attack on the mountain city."
This battle will not be easy to fight. The General Staff has already made a judgment that even if it goes smoothly, it will probably take more than half a year. If it does not go smoothly, no one knows how long it will take.
"Let's wait a little longer. Since Berlin is involved in this operation, they will definitely inform us of their plans. We have no evidence right now, and any rash action will only arouse suspicion from the headquarters."
After the Tokyo fire, the headquarters speculated on a question, that is, there must be people from Yamashiro in the senior management of the Tokyo headquarters, otherwise how could the fire happen so coincidentally and not a single person was caught, and what happened to Kitasu and Mei was also too coincidental.
Without the help of the top leaders, things would not have gone so smoothly. The Special High Technology Department was already investigating the matter. He also carefully recalled the actions of that day. He did not avoid tolerating the patrols, nor did he deliberately mobilize anyone to do anything.
He is innocent. As for the deaths of Hashimoto Saburo and his family, it can be concluded that there was an enemy inside the General Staff. As for who this person is, it is likely that they will never be found out.
"Then wait a little longer."
In Watsontown, the White House, the lavishly decorated presidential palace. Roosevelt had just finished signing a document when Secretary of State Singer approached him. "Your Excellency, the Berlin High Seas Fleet and the Fog City Home Fleet engaged in battle in the outer seas. The Home Fleet suffered heavy losses, and the outer ports were occupied by the Berlin Archer Fleet. Furthermore, a large fleet has already departed, and its whereabouts are unknown."
Whereabouts unknown?
Roosevelt glanced at him slightly. "Are you heading to Africa? They are now intensifying their offensive in Africa."
"I'm not sure, but I've ordered the CIA to conduct a comprehensive investigation into this matter. Furthermore, the Japanese military's supplies are being transported towards the mountain city. It looks like they'll launch a general attack on the city soon."
The Minister of Defense, who had come with them, spoke up nearby. "According to our calculations, Yamashiro may not be able to withstand a full-scale enemy attack. We estimate that the war in East Asia will subside in half a year, and by then the Japanese army will likely occupy the entirety of Yamashiro."
"That's impossible. If the situation turns unfavorable, Wudu and Beisu will definitely send troops to seize the mountain city under the pretext of providing assistance. They don't want the Japanese army to cover the entire mountain city." Roosevelt's affirmative words made the two men look at each other and said, "Mr. President, you mean that they will divide the mountain city."
Isn't this stupid? With the mountain city in front to resist, what need is there for a buffer zone? Wouldn't it be better for the mountain city itself to serve as a buffer? Why bother going in and provoke the other party?
"When they can't stop it, why should we let them take control of the situation? Send a telegram to Mike in the non-protocol area and have the Pacific Fleet dispatch a squadron there to prevent any accidents."
The Minister of Defense paused for a moment. "Your Excellency, you mean that we should also participate in this?"
Isn't the policy formulated by the empire to avoid direct conflicts with other countries as much as possible and to make emergency construction and the sale of weapons and supplies the top priority? Why is it changing it now?
"The cake is already on the table. If we don't eat it, then the other two will have to eat it. So why don't we join in?"
In Hengyang, at the headquarters of the commander of the Ninth War Zone, a secret telegram from Watsonton about transfer was quickly intercepted and deciphered by the Shancheng Secret Telegram Office.
After receiving this news, the headquarters immediately forwarded the telegram to the war zone headquarters in Hengyang.
"Sure enough, these shady people have their minds on this." Commander Bai finished reading the message and handed it to Chief of Staff Wu beside him. "How self-righteous! Do they really think our Shancheng is so easy to bully?"
"They were the ones who started it. So, I don't think we need to show them any mercy." Zhou Weiguo, who was visiting today, snorted coldly. "Shameless bastards! They're the most disgusting of all. They try to take advantage of everything, but never get hurt."
Xiao Ya shook her head after hearing what Zhou Weiguo said. "Let's not offend them for now. After all, we still need to obtain supplies from them. Besides, after the unrest in Canada, the US will adjust accordingly. At that time, they will naturally restore their troops to their original state."
"Sister, if we continue to tolerate such an obvious move, it would mean that we are weak and can be bullied. I'm afraid these people will use more methods to target us in the future."
"Being bullied and fighting back is one thing, knowing not to fight back is another. We in Shancheng have always been looked down upon by them, which is why they always like to take a bite out of us." Commander Bai pointed at Chao Xiang Xiuling. "You're right, girl. Such an obvious deployment is clearly bullying us. If we don't fight back, I'm afraid these people will look down on us even more in the future."
"Then what should we do?" Zhou Weiguo spread his hands. After the independent regiment became a brigade, his work became busier. In addition, he also served as the chief of Hengyang city defense and security. He seldom asked about these matters as he had to shoulder two responsibilities.
Asaka Hiderei bowed her head and pondered for a moment. "Just tell them straight away that we've seen through their ill intentions and hope they'll return their troops to their original positions."
Xiao Ya knocked her head. "Even if you tell them, judging by their blatant mobilization of troops now, they definitely won't return their troops to their original positions."
Chaoxiang Xiuling nodded; "Sister, if they don't want to accept it, then don't accept it. Berlin's army is already crossing the Atlantic. When this fleet arrives in Canada and quickly occupies it, they will be in chaos. At that time, they will naturally withdraw their troops. At this time, we don't need to pay any attention to any of them, unless..."
"No one can help us unless we get a lot of aid." Zhou Weiguo said with a slight smile on his face.
"We need to develop our own military-industrial complex, but that doesn't mean we don't need more weapons aid. They did something wrong, so shouldn't they compensate us? I don't believe Roosevelt really doesn't need an ally like us. If he does, he'll have to pay me dearly."
Chaoxiang Xiuling gulped down a few sips of tea. "Besides, isn't all this the compensation they deserve?"
Such a blatant calculation, he really thinks we are fools.
