Chapter 817 Playing a Straight Ball with Guderian
"Who will be transferred?" Commander Bai glanced at him. "Full cooperation from the military and political departments."
"Ruth, and Deng Yaoxian from the Second Department."
"I can understand Ruth, but I don't understand Deng Yaoxian. What's the point of you wanting him? He can't do anything about this matter."
"Sir, since we intend to contribute to this country and make it the world's top, then shouldn't we start taking action first in terms of intelligence? Isn't this a way to buy off the Second Department? And sir, don't you want to get involved in the Second Department?"
Commander Bai looked at Zhou Weiguo for a long moment, then raised his hand and rubbed his head. "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Ruth and Deng Yaoxian came here together, and Du Xun also came with them. As for the work in the Ninth War Zone, Xu Chuan is currently in charge.
"The rank was promoted?" Zhou Weiguo looked at Ruth in front of him, a little surprised. He and several others had their ranks promoted because they were going to launch a large-scale military operation, so why was Ruth also promoted?
Ruth sat down, placing her general's cap beside her. "The High Command and the War Zone Command have issued orders. The Independent Regiment has been reorganized into an Independent Brigade, with four regiments under its command. The original 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Battalions will each be reorganized into three regiments. The remaining three battalions will be mixed in, and any missing troops will be replenished from the rear."
The four brigades, or independent regiments, are now the size of a reinforced division.
"Fang Shengli and the others will take care of this matter. Let's just leave it alone. Let's get ready and head to Berlin."
To reach Berlin, one must pass through Northern Soviet Russia. Deng Yaoxian and his group, having landed in Moscow, did not follow them. They needed to consolidate and develop their intelligence system here, in preparation for the future seizure of the Sixty-Four Villages in Huijiangdong and the Outer Wala. This was the command's intention, and it was also Commander Bai's suggestion.
At a suburban manor in Berlin, Zhou Weiguo had no plans to meet anyone on the day he arrived. Instead, he wanted to find out the current progress in Berlin and the situation on the navy side.
The Berlin Army's current main attack direction is Africa, but the terrain and desert in Africa cause great trouble to their mechanized troops. Moreover, due to the scarcity of resources, the cost of the war and the resources obtained are completely disproportionate.
On the naval side, Dönitz used his own reminder to push the submarine's wolf pack tactics to the limit, and even went to the foggy city and sank two of the enemy's battleships before escaping unscathed.
However, the surface ships were still suppressed by the enemy fleet and could basically not get out. Even if they did get out, they had to do it secretly.
"Fortunately, we arrived in time. If we had waited for a while, they might have changed their plans." Zhou Weiguo put down the cigarette in his hand and said to the people around him.
Asaka Hiderei nodded. "If the investment isn't proportional to the return, then the only solution is to change the direction of the operation. Currently, there are two attack directions for them to consider: one is to attack the Mist City itself, and the second is to attack the northern Soviet region."
Xiao Ya echoed, "We can give them a third option, which is to launch an attack on Canada. And in theory, this is the best option."
"I think we can meet Guderian and Dönitz tomorrow." Zhou Weiguo smiled with a slight smile on his face.
Guderian, thanks to his success in the Blitzkrieg and his execution of the African plan, became the current Deputy Minister of Defense. Dönitz, also thanks to the success of the Wolf Pack and the significant trouble it caused the enemy, was appointed Deputy Chief of Staff of the Naval Headquarters. These individuals were all members of the Imperial Army's core corps.
In order to meet the two people, Zhou Weiguo specially called them, and Ang Ruth came to arrange this banquet.
"Zhou, when did you arrive?" Guderian asked with a smile after sitting down.
Zhou Weiguo glanced at him and smiled. "I arrived yesterday and just took a day off, so I came to see you today." He looked at Dönitz and said, "Congratulations! The Wolf Pack's success will take you to the next level."
"But our navy's surface ships are ultimately unable to break through their blockade." Dönitz was frustrated.
The Air Force and Army have achieved great success, but the Navy has been making very slow progress.
"After all, they have dominated the ocean for hundreds of years, and you are just a rising star. It will probably not be easy to achieve success overnight."
Chaoxiang Xiuling nodded beside her. "There's a saying in Yamashiro: A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Not to mention, they're not dead camels yet. It would take a lot of effort for us to get rid of them."
Guderian knew that every time Zhou Weiguo came, he must have a purpose, and this purpose was closely related to the mountain city.
"Brother Zhou, the reason you came here this time is because the Japanese army is going to launch a general attack on you," Guderian asked.
"It seems that the cooperation between you and them has reached a new level. We went through so much trouble to obtain this information, but I didn't expect you to already know it."
"If it's for aid, I'm afraid it will be difficult. We have signed a series of agreements with them, one of which is that we cannot provide you with military aid."
Guderian said it in advance: everything can be negotiated, but this matter is probably not possible.
"We're old friends, and I don't want to hide anything from you. I'm here this time for the benefit of our mountain city. We're stuck in a deadlock, and we need to break it from the outside. You're our best option. Secondly, it's also to address the passive situation you're in. Of course, this is just a side issue. But one thing I'm certain of is that this will definitely benefit everyone."
These two people are very smart. Instead of negotiating with them in a roundabout way, it is better to talk to them directly. This way, they can clearly understand what benefits will come to them if this is done at the first time.
"Oh, tell me about it." Guderian said with a smile. He thought that Zhou Weiguo would give a long speech, but he didn't expect that this guy would directly tell him the purpose of his visit this time.
After receiving the call, he went to the President's residence. The President also judged that the reason why Shancheng sent him here was probably because they could not find a way out of the current situation. The President also believed that their coming this time might once again change the entire war room, so he asked him to inquire.
Unexpectedly, the other party admitted it directly.
"Before that, I have a question for you. I wonder if you can give me an accurate answer. This will be the beginning of our future cooperation. Otherwise, even if I have a million tricks, I won't be able to influence your decision. After all, we each serve our own masters, right?"
