Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Chapter 1106 Arranging a Good Place for Yoshiko Kawashima

He just wanted to make sure that, both while he was alive and after he died, the people wouldn't think of him as a traitor to the empire or the royal family.

He didn't think about anything else.

“It’s not settled yet, and I don’t plan to leave.” Zhou Weiguo handed the fruit to Asaka Shurei and added, “Besides, I was driven out by Commander Bai, and if I go back now, I probably won’t have anywhere to go. Of course, if you’re not worried about me going somewhere else to cause trouble for the Japanese army, I’ll…”

"You should just stay here and relax."

Boom boom... boom boom boom...

The Fusō battleship's massive main guns unleashed a deafening barrage of fire at the distant coastal defense batteries.

Even inside the command tower, Xiao Ya was so shocked by the deafening sound that her face turned pale.

This is not Xiao Ya's fault. In the battles against the Japanese, what they had seen were basically infantry guns and field guns, at most 100mm howitzers. Of course, she had also participated in the battle of Malacca, but the Third Fleet did not deploy battleships in that battle.

"I was startled," Hase Kiyoshi asked, handing the binoculars to his adjutant.

Xiao Ya glanced at him sideways, then looked into the distance and laughed, "Look at my face, you probably wouldn't believe me if I said I wasn't scared, but..."

"But what?" Hase Kiyoshi glanced at the time and walked to the side. There were some things he couldn't say here. He needed to get back to his room; the roar of the ship's engines would drown out any conversation.

Xiao Ya followed Hase Kiyoshi into Hase Kiyoshi's office.

Nakamura went to the side to get red wine, and after Qingzi poured it for the two of them, he stood aside.

"More than being frightened, I'm thinking about when my mountain city will be able to have such a ship."

Hasegawa Kiyoshi hadn't expected him to be thinking about this.

"Don't you already have it?"

The Americans gave Yamashiro a fleet back then.

"Yes, we have them, but the problem is, they're not really ours yet, since they haven't reached our ports and waters."

This topic just can't be discussed any further.

Hasegawa Kiyoshi took a sip of red wine. "Two Marine Corps regiments, along with a tank battalion and a cavalry squadron, have already made their way around the port with the help of the Buddha Kingdom. The Second Fleet is transporting supplies and troops, and the forces they have deployed around the port are unlikely to be able to stop our attack."

“They couldn’t stop us anyway.” Xiao Ya took a sip of tea. “This sea area is yours now. With aircraft carriers, fighter jets and bombers taking off from the Strait of Malacca, you can effectively control the air. They are not like us. Without air superiority, they will keep fighting.”

They either surrender or run away, and based on my understanding of them, I'm sure they'll run away.

After all, there is still a significant gap in railway construction in the southern part of the mountain city.

"Victory is ours, and it is yours as well. But in the end, the victory of this battle still belongs to you." Hasegawa Kiyoshi raised his glass and clinked it with Xiao Ya's. "Our victory means that the mountain city will no longer face a full-scale attack from the Army Headquarters."

"You also won, at least you preserved your navy's budget, it was a win-win battle."

damn it.

Yueyang City.

Yoshiko Kawashima, who was eating wontons at a roadside wonton shop, never expected that her plan would be interrupted by the Navy.

"Those damn navy idiots," Yoshiko Kawashima muttered, putting down her spoon.

Yu Cui, who was standing next to her, looked up and asked, "Miss, do we still need to carry out the assassination of Fujita?"

Yu Cui didn't want to ask anything else; she just wanted to know whether or not they should eliminate Fujita, so that the Imperial Headquarters would think that Yamashiro was launching a crazy retaliation, thus escalating the conflict between them.

Yoshiko Kawashima gave a bitter smile; "There's no need."

The navy's move and the victory in the south will spur the army headquarters, and they will soon make a new choice: to maintain a standoff and continue to bribe the mountain city, while launching a new offensive in South Asia.

After all, there's nothing good about the mountain city for them. It's a country without resources, and at most, they can only give them some land. The arable land is already in their hands, so why should they continue to fight for it?

"Why does my prestigious mountain town have absolutely no resources?" Yoshiko Kawashima asked, unwilling to accept the situation.

If she had resources, resources that the empire desperately needed, she might still be able to compete for them, but now, she has no way to compete for them.

"Let's pack up and get some new connections."

Damn it, all the connections she had spent so much time building up have now been almost completely destroyed by the people of the mountain city. If she doesn't recruit some people from the Empire to work for her, even if there's a small problem, the 11th Army will probably drag her out to take the blame.

11nd Army Military Headquarters.

After putting down the telegram in his hand about the navy's large-scale offensive and its great progress, Anami Korechika asked Fujita, who was standing next to him, "Is the surveillance of Kawashima Yoshiko still ongoing?"

Fujita nodded. "Yes, General. Although Xiao Ya and Zhou Weiguo's group are currently missing, she has many connections in the Empire that we cannot know about, as well as people who serve her. Therefore, I dare not let my guard down and the surveillance on her continues."

“There’s no need to monitor her anymore.” Anami Korechi picked up his teacup. “The situation is out of her control. She can no longer do anything to harm us.”

Fujita understood what he meant, but he was even more aware of one thing: General Anami Korechika was just talking, but if that crazy woman caught him off guard, he would be the one in trouble.

“Your Excellency is right. However, she is still a threat to us in this place. After all, if we lift the surveillance on her, who knows what she will do next?”

Anami Korechika put down her teacup. Fujita's worries, though mostly for her own sake, were indeed for her own benefit. After all, this crazy woman was currently like a leaky tofu, something that couldn't be hit or beaten. In order for the empire to attract more people to serve it, this woman would be the best advertisement.

After tapping the table, Anami Korechika smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've found her a great place, and it's a place she'll definitely want to go."
