Chapter 1019 This departure might mean it's hard to see each other again.
Commander Bai sent a few of his men here, which means they must know what's going on. But judging from Liu Yuan's tone, he doesn't know what it is.
“That’s normal.” Zhou Weiguo was quite understanding of the matter. Seeing that his wife didn’t quite understand, he pointed to Liu Yuandao and said, “My older brother is just a regimental commander. He couldn’t possibly know about this kind of thing. Even if he were to personally participate in this operation, he wouldn’t know. Moreover, their relationship with the Northern Soviet Union is extraordinary. Some of them are wholeheartedly biased towards the Northern Soviet Union.”
The message was passed down level by level, making it easy to be exposed.
Moreover, there are probably no more than twenty people in the entire mountain town who know about this, and these people are the backbone of the mountain town.
"What exactly is this operation?" Zhang Chu asked. He seemed to want to get involved as well.
Zhou Weiguo took the letter out of his pocket and placed it on the table. "The details of the operation are here, and you guys are in charge of this operation. Also, I've already arranged for the brothers from Qingfeng Village to enter in batches to assist you."
Liu Yuan remained silent after reading the contents, Zhang Chu simply lit a cigarette in silence, while Chen Yi frowned and said, "This isn't appropriate. After all, they are our elder brothers, and in a way, our mentors. How can we..."
"How can matters of national importance be decided by emotions?" Zhang Chu said, turning his head.
Chen Yi's vision was neither broad nor narrow, so they didn't send her out to lie low.
Last time, she had planned to volunteer for the Independent Regiment, but Liu Yuan suppressed it. She tends to add personal emotions to her actions, which is fatal, but her publicity is excellent, something even Cao Ying couldn't match at the time.
Cao Ying has been completely exposed, so she cannot leave, nor is she able to leave.
Zhou Weiguo nodded in agreement.
“Brother is right, Chen Yi. You can disguise yourself as any identity very well without anyone noticing. But your biggest weakness is that you are easily swayed by emotions and can’t distinguish between national interests and friendship. When it comes to national interests and friendship, what we should do is seek more benefits for the country. That’s what we should be doing.”
Asaka Hideaki also realized that Chen Yi's thinking was flawed. There was no point in talking to someone like that. After eating a piece of meat, she smiled and said, "The problems we can only consider are local, not global. But the higher-ups are considering the global picture. This plan was carefully discussed and decided by General Zhou and several high-ranking figures in the command headquarters. If they can make the decision, what does that mean?"
"Although I haven't figured it out yet, I will obey orders." Chen Yi smiled and looked at Zhou Weiguo.
Those eyes held a hint of disappointment, but there was no other emotion in them.
What's missed is missed. Back then, when Zhou Weiguo needed her, she was ordered to go to Jinling. But when she saw Zhou Weiguo again, Xiao Ya was already with him. Then Zhou Weiguo left. Before Jinling fell, she was ordered to leave. When she saw Zhou Weiguo again, he was already a regimental commander.
This is a person's fate; though they may always intersect, it never truly belongs to them.
Liu Yuan read the letter again, then, as if remembering something, asked, "Aren't you going?"
"I……"
Zhou Weiguo took a sip of baijiu; "I would like to go, but the problem is that the Japanese army suddenly mobilized several divisions to go south. The Fifth War Zone is going to fight another battle, and my troops will be the first to bear the brunt there. Fang Shengli can command a regiment without any problem, but commanding a brigade will still cause chaos. Takeshita Shun is mainly in charge of the small detachments. I need to go back to act as bait. Also, I need to go to Kyoto."
Zhang Chu sighed and asked, "Wei Guo, when I suggest launching this operation, could we try to align it with Tokyo as much as possible? That way, even if problems arise later, we won't be held responsible."
“That’s no problem. You’ll have to discuss the specifics yourselves. By the way, do you have anyone who speaks the language of Tokyo? If so, bring them along. If not, go find these people; they can help you.” Zhou Weiguo took out another list and handed it to Liu Yuan.
These are the people selected by Levsky. They are all descendants of the previous dynasty. In recent years, they have lived in anonymity, and some of them have had to make concessions and change their fate.
Originally, these people should have died long ago, but when Levsky investigated the matter, he took pity on them and let them go. After all, at that time, the Empire had already been filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and there was no need to kill any more.
If they continued to kill, the empire would collapse and fall into chaos. In fact, the empire was rather weak inside than out, especially militarily, where a very obvious gap had appeared. But no one dared to speak out about this. Those who spoke the truth, when faced with a prime minister like Josephine, would only meet one fate: death.
"Alright." Liu Yuan put down the list and looked at Zhang Chu. "Tomorrow, go to Qingfeng Village and have them make arrangements to use a merchant or any other available identity to enter the area outside the pass and gather forces in the Haishengwei area."
Tomorrow everyone will be leaving. This parting may mean not seeing each other for years, or even in this lifetime. But someone will always have to sacrifice.
He didn't want anyone to sacrifice themselves, but how could he guarantee that?
"Are you leaving?" Liu Yuan asked, leaning against the door after seeing Zhou Weiguo and Asaka Shurei walk out of the room side by side.
Zhou Weiguo turned his head and nodded; "I'm going to Qingfeng Village. After all, you're leaving, and so am I."
That mysterious and powerful Japanese soldier can't be allowed to live too long. As long as he lives, I'll always be on edge with fear of him.
They actually forced the 11th Army to retreat, leaving the 5th and 74th Armies, which had been moved there, completely useless. They ran even faster when you chased them, and now they've even given up Changsha.
This has caused trouble for the mountain city.
What would the British think when they see this situation? They would definitely think that the mountain city clearly has the ability to provide support but doesn't send troops, which has lifted the mountain city up.
This scheme would have been difficult to thwart had it not been for the offensive by the North China Area Army. In fact, it could be said that if the 14th Division hadn't underestimated the enemy and suffered such a crushing defeat, Yamashiro would likely have had to mobilize troops for an attack, which would have further exacerbated the conflict between Yamashiro and Terauchi Hisaichi.
Even a slight delay in the command's response could lead to problems.
Before I leave, I will go to Qingfeng Village first, since I won't be able to see them again for a while.
