Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Chapter 599 Whoever dares to waste time and energy will be a historical sinner

Nanzō Yunzi approached him and said with a smile, "General, there's a saying in Shancheng: you can't have your cake and eat it too. You and I both know this. If it weren't for Zhou Weiguo's help, we wouldn't even have crossed the Yellow River, let alone Xi'an."

Okamura Neiji naturally understood this.

Although Zhou Weiguo was a hateful person, he did help me a lot. At least the Second Army's current situation had a lot to do with him.

"General, if we can create a new situation in the northwest, we can naturally create a new situation in the Ninth War Zone as well. While this will be a trade of interests between us and the Ninth War Zone, it will also allow the Empire to recognize your value. Entering the cabinet is a step closer. Therefore, General, you have made a clear choice, so there seems to be no need to worry about it."

The benefits of cooperating with Zhou Weiguo outweigh the disadvantages. So why are you playing both sides here?

"You're right. I could even sum it up in another unpleasant way: there's no need for me to be a whore and still want to be a chastity saint. I want both sides."

"Yes, it's good that you understand, General. But General, has anyone mentioned who will take over this position?"

"Terauchi Juichi."

Juichi Templeuchi?

Interesting. I hope this person can behave himself after arriving here. Given the current situation, if he shows signs of attacking westward, Shancheng will not be so easy to deal with.

"It's decided. General Okamura Yasuji got his wish and became the commander of the 11th Army. The transfer order has been issued." Asaka Hiderei excitedly came to Zhou Weiguo with a telegram in her hand and shook it.

Zhou Weiguo took the message, glanced at it, and nodded. "The naval aviation bombing of the British embassy was a good move. It indirectly dealt a heavy blow to the army. Otherwise, there's no telling when this matter would have ended."

Putting the telegram aside, Zhou Weiguo thought for a moment and turned to ask his secretary, Minami Zao Mingzi, "Mingzi, what do you think their plan will be next?"

"Of course, they're letting Okamura Yasuji tie down our forces so they can attack Guangxi. After all, the bombing of the British embassy and the death of George are undoubtedly another challenge to British authority. Since they can't intervene, they'll naturally increase their aid to us. I think they're already discussing this..."

"They're not discussing it, they're already taking action." Xiao Ya walked in. Zhao Xiang Xiuling saw her take off her military cap and immediately went over to take it and asked, "Sister, have they taken action?"

"Yeah." Xiao Ya sat on the sofa, straightening her hair. "I just received news that the British Far East Governor's Office is already dismantling the factory equipment. These two pieces of equipment are the light machine gun production line and artillery production line that we needed. It seems that Tokyo has offended them badly this time."

"Then, attacking Guangxi is inevitable. I wonder what Chief Bai and Shancheng are thinking."

A few days later at noon, Zhou Weiguo, who was still processing documents, suddenly received a message that the Japanese 21st Army assembled three aviation groups and suddenly attacked the forward positions deployed in the western part of the Fourth War Zone at dawn.

The Japanese army that was attacked had no time to react before an enemy regiment broke through the defensive position, and then the Japanese army entered Guangxi.

"What are you still doing standing here? Have these officers forgotten the fine traditions of our independent regiment?" Ono walked in heroically.

Zhou Weiguo, who was standing by the window, turned his head and glanced at him. "Why, it wasn't long after we robbed the Hatan detachment, and you've already sold all your stuff?"

That was thousands of sets of military uniforms. Of course, the leather shoes were not sold; they were stripped off and used as equipment for the independent regiment.

"You know there are too many wolves and too little meat," Ono said, taking the teacup from Minamizō Akiko. "The Sichuan Army requested two thousand rifles, twenty mortars, and five Type 71s. The rest went to the Gui Army, and the st Army bought some field artillery. Do you think they'll have enough to sell with this?"

Self is not enough.

As for clothes and other things, that is even less than enough. The market demand in Changsha alone is huge, not to mention other places.

"Not enough to sell." Zhou Weiguo said affirmatively.

Ono took a sip of tea and said, "Yes, you don't have enough to sell, and you're not thinking of a way. I heard that the Japanese army is attacking Guangxi. If you don't go and ask for a fight, someone will seize it. The loss to our independent regiment will be huge, and then you will be the biggest offender of the independent regiment."

"Don't put such a hat on me. You know that the headquarters and Commander Bai tacitly approved the Japanese attack on Guangxi. After all, we need more assistance from Europe and the United States."

Zhou Weiguo also wanted to ask for a fight, but he estimated that the chances were not very high.

"If you don't go, how do you know that this is impossible? Commander Bai can allow the Japanese army to enter Guangxi, but will he let the Japanese army march straight in? That is his territory. Do you think he will really trust the people in the mountain city to let the rest of the troops enter?"

Commander Bai is definitely not happy about this, but they do need troops to go in and hold on, so who is suitable?

The Fifth Army?

The Fifth Army was withdrawn from there with great difficulty. He will allow the Fifth Army to go back, but forget it.

"what do you mean?"

"Old Zhou, if the Guangxi battlefield must have someone who can hold the Japanese army at a critical moment, that person must be you."

Xiao Ye's reminder made Zhou Weiguo bow his head in thought for a moment before he prepared to go out. But before he could take off his military cap, Jinxiu came in and said, "Captain, Commander Bai asked you to come over."

War zone headquarters.

After Zhou Weiguo arrived, Commander Bai motioned him to the map. "The 104th and 18th Divisions are old rivals of yours. They've entered Guangxi and are advancing rapidly. What are your thoughts on this?"

"Sir, it doesn't matter what my subordinates think about this matter. The key is, what do you think about it?" Thinking of Ono's reminder not long ago, Zhou Weiguo decided to find out what this person thinks first.

Commander Bai glanced at him and pointed. "You little rascal, are you playing tricks on me?"

Zhou Weiguo spread his hands helplessly; "Sir, I... I..."

"Xiao Ya told you." Commander Bai glanced at Zhou Weiguo and asked.

"No, really not. She doesn't have that ability." Zhou Weiguo quickly shook his head, not wanting Commander Bai to misunderstand anything. After saying that, he betrayed Xiaoye without any hesitation; "Xiaoye said so."

Commander Bai took a sip from his teacup. "At this moment, if intrigues were to arise and the situation got out of control, who would dare to bear the historical responsibility and be blamed for this historical crime? Who would even be able to bear that responsibility?"
