Chapter 514: Such a good opportunity, why not accept it
"You heard it right, it's him. I think you should also know that Yan Laoxi of the Second War Zone is a miser. In order not to over-stimulate him, the Second Army had to withdraw from the Shanxi battlefield and gather east of the Yellow River to prepare to enter Shaanxi."
Zhou Weiguo knew that Commander Bai had told him about this matter, so Commander Wei was in charge of Shaanxi at present. He was not allowed to enter Shaanxi to prevent them from threatening the ancient city of Xi'an and Baoji after they captured Tongguan, and threatening the northern line of the mountain city.
"I know." Zhou Weiguo nodded and hummed. "He won't plan to enter Shaanxi, right? This deal can't be done. Even if it can be done, what can we get?"
"You have enough time to smooth out your plan. Another point is that what you are doing now is to make the three countries increase restrictions on transportation. This will allow them to strengthen transportation restrictions and intensify conflicts. Of course, there is another thing. He will write to the headquarters to ensure that the 11th Army will not withdraw, but will continue to fight with you in the Ninth War Zone to achieve your goal of consumption. Therefore, no matter from any angle, you are not losing in this deal."
tsk...
Zhou Weiguo lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded; "I can't make the decision on this matter, so I'll ask Chief Bai to come."
The benefits here are indeed tempting, and Shaanxi can indeed give up part of it, but Zhou Weiguo dare not say this is the bottom line.
Commander Bai heard that Zhou Weiguo had something urgent to discuss with him, and that he was going to the independent regiment's headquarters.
He was a little confused, but as his favorite general, he still came to the independent regiment with his adjutant.
"What's the matter that requires me to come to you in person?" Commander Bai has been busy these days considering how to open up the Hunan battlefield. So when he came in, he asked Zhou Weiguo about his purpose straight away.
Zhou Weiguo handed Xiaoya the teacup himself and stood beside him. "Okamura Neiji wants to make a deal with us. My cheap sister-in-law is here. Do you want to meet her?"
A deal? Or a deal with the Second Army's top commander? Commander Bai paused for a moment, glanced at Zhou Weiguo, and asked, "What can we get?"
Commander Bai has also gradually changed his mind. Fighting the Japanese army to the death will not achieve the goal. The Japanese army is an enemy, but it can also be used. As long as it does not violate the core interests, some local interests can be given up.
Shancheng had never thought of using this war to return to the top of the world. However, Zhou Weiguo's suppression of the north made everyone realize that this might be an opportunity.
Since God has given us this opportunity, we must naturally seize it.
"Give him the land east of Tongguan, and tell the headquarters. He persuaded the headquarters to prevent the main force of the 11th Army from withdrawing to the second line for rest. In addition, he will give us a batch of weapons, equipment and supplies." This is his deal with the Second Army above, and the deal with himself is that he hopes that he can help him clear the way to the cabinet when he needs help in the future. Act as a killer.
In return, Okamura Neiji would provide him with all the conveniences to go to Tokyo.
"Promise him." Commander Bai put down his teacup and glanced at Zhou Weiguo, then said, "Give him the land east of Tongguan. After all, if he really wants to attack, we can't stop him."
"Sir, it's really appropriate. After all, this matter involves the suspicion of betraying the interests of Shancheng?" Xiao Ya carefully reminded from the side that once this matter was exposed, there would be no good ending.
Chief Bai smiled calmly and said, "This is an opportunity to control him. In addition, his purpose in doing this should be to enter the cabinet. You have to find a way to get him in. Only when he enters the cabinet can he bring us more benefits. In return, no matter what happens in the future war, we can save his life and the life of his family. This is our promise."
what……
Zhou Weiguo widened his eyes. Is this guy crazy?
“Sir, you…you…”
Chief Bai glanced at Zhou Weiguo and said, "His entry into the cabinet will only benefit the progress of the war. If nothing else, it will at least push them to fight against one of the three countries, which is very important."
Gao, he is worthy of being the existence that no one in Lianshan City can kill. Just based on his character, he is not something that ordinary people can compare to.
Baga Ya Road.
At the 11th Army Headquarters, a telegram sent from the headquarters made Ueda Kanekichi feel like cursing.
He shook the telegram for a long time before he looked up and said to the Chief of Staff Hei Mu beside him, "What does the headquarters mean? Why do they change their orders every day?"
The previous order of the headquarters was to stabilize the situation in Jiangxi, hand over the eastern part of Hubei to the new government in Nanjing, and dispatch part of the empire's troops to assist in the attack on the mountain city. The rest of the troops were to rest and reduce the consumption of supplies.
But this time, the headquarters actually issued a completely opposite order.
The next mission of the 11th Army was to occupy Changsha.
Damn it. Is there something wrong with the people in the headquarters? Taking over Nanchang was originally prepared for this plan, so as to contain the other side's attack on the new government in Nanjing, but this time, the headquarters actually wants us to attack Changsha.
Are they crazy? Changsha is the headquarters of the Ninth War Zone, and although the terrain is not very complicated, the problem is those rivers, which are natural defense lines. They are not that big. Besides, they will not let you pass.
Once they get there, there won't be much defense on the west. Aren't they worried about the 11th and 21st Armies joining forces?
"How about I ask about the situation?" Hei Mu also felt that the order was too contradictory.
"You ask, is this really appropriate?"
In Tokyo, at the Japanese military headquarters, Army Minister Sakatan Seishirō read the message from the 11th Army and said to Chief of Staff Prince Asaka, who was making tea nearby, with a smile: "He has never suffered a loss in front of that person, so naturally he doesn't know how powerful that person is."
Sakata was transferred back to serve as the Minister of the Army two months ago. Even though he suffered a loss in the battle of Xuzhou, it still could not erase his influence on the interests of the empire. So, at the suggestion of the cabinet, he served as the Minister of the Army.
Both of them knew more or less about Yamashiro. Asaka put down her teacup and nodded. "He has always been outside the Great Wall, and after entering the Great Wall, he won victory after victory. It is normal for them not to know about him. However, Okamura Yasuji's plan is only a possibility. I think the cabinet and the Prime Minister's Office are too hasty."
Is it sloppy?
Bantan picked up the teacup. He was aware of the situation outside the Great Wall and made a certain comparison between the overall strength of the North and the Empire.
"I have to admit that what His Royal Highness said is not wrong. Okamura Yasuji's suggestion is indeed a bit exaggerated." But there is one thing here that he and the Prime Minister must take seriously and cautiously.
