Chapter 1126 You're better now, can we be better too?
Guderian hadn't finished his glass of red wine when Zhou Weiguo's words made it swirl.
He looked down at the red wine in his hand, tilted his head back, drank it all in one gulp, and then looked at Zhou Weiguo.
"You're lucky you're our friend, otherwise, our intelligence department would have eliminated you first."
This wasn't the first time Zhou Weiguo had heard these words.
He got up, went to the window, opened it, took a drag of his cigarette, and exhaled the smoke.
“I’ve said this to others before.” He turned to Guderian and said with a smile, “Like you, I also hope to minimize the danger. The best way to minimize the danger is to eliminate the danger itself.”
Guderian crossed his arms, a look of delight on his face, then put down his wine glass, thought for a moment, and asked, "Do you think we'll become enemies?"
He did not want to become enemies with Zhou Weiguo, nor did he want the empire to become enemies with Shancheng.
After the Empire launched its attack on Yamashiro from Tokyo, and especially after the Battle of Shanghai, it immediately established a research department to study Yamashiro's tactics and the spirit of sacrifice of his soldiers.
very scary.
According to the conclusion, if the military equipment of the mountain city is of the same scale as the empire or even 10% less, the empire can only fight the mountain city to a draw.
In terms of manpower and territorial depth, empires are simply incomparable.
"What do you think?" Zhou Weiguo retorted. "Aren't you worried that you'll end up shooting yourself in the foot?"
The aid that Shancheng is currently receiving is mostly from Berlin, including assistance from Berlin in manufacturing technology, car window technology, and standardization.
Their help has greatly improved the mountain city, but this improvement also poses a threat to them.
The people of this mountain city are fearless; for any country, that would be a decisive blow.
Guderian wanted to avoid the question.
Seeing Zhou Weiguo's serious expression, he did not shy away.
“Yes, this is not only my concern, but also the concern of our empire.” Guderian approached Zhou Weiguo; “So what will you do from now on?”
Zhou Weiguo didn't say he wouldn't, and probably no one would believe him anyway. After a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "It's too far."
It's not that we can't become enemies, it's just that it's too far off.
“When that day comes, I don’t know how I will face you,” Guderian said with a smile, arms crossed.
Zhou Weiguo chuckled twice.
"If that day ever comes, I will definitely get rid of you first."
Hahaha……
Guderian burst into laughter and looked at Zhou Weiguo; "Then let's pray that day never comes."
"it is good."
After chatting for nearly two hours, Guderian invited Zhou Weiguo to have dinner with him. He didn't mention anything about work, and neither did Zhou Weiguo.
Such quiet meals are becoming increasingly rare; we all cherish these precious moments of leisure.
Midway through the journey, Guderian offered to find Zhou Weiguo a place to stay, but Zhou Weiguo refused.
He told Guderian that being with Okamura Yasuji would attract the attention of American intelligence, making it much easier for them to do things that could implicate Tokyo in the future.
Guderian did not object; in fact, he even arranged for a batch of food and drinks to be delivered to the villa where Okamura Yasuji and his party were staying. This included a large quantity of sake.
He took the three people who had been with him back with him.
Upon reaching the second-floor living room, Zhou Weiguo was startled by the things displayed there.
The spacious living room was filled with many nice things.
Zhou Weiguo glanced at them; these things seemed to be things people in Tokyo liked to use. There were packs of cigarettes and boxes of unopened liquor.
He took a dagger from his waist and went over to cut open a box.
"Oh." Zhou Weiguo took out a bottle of sake, shook it, and laughed. "I didn't expect Guderian to be so kind to you. We only spent the time of one meal with him, and he gave you so many things."
Okamura Neiji slumped onto the sofa.
The moment that open-top truck arrived, swaggering through the city, he knew that no secret could be kept.
Why come now, why not earlier, why come later?
"Thanks to you, the CIA probably already knows we're here."
His voice was filled with dissatisfaction and resentment. Zhou Weiguo glanced at him sideways, picked up the bottle of baijiu, went to the liquor shelf, took out two glasses, and then went to Okamura Neiji; "I didn't say anything, do you believe me?"
Do you think I should believe it?
Even the fragrant liquor couldn't stop Okamura Yasuji from thinking that this matter must be related to Zhou Weiguo.
He picked up his glass and grunted, "No, I won't have a drink."
With a hint of resentment, Okamura Neiji picked up his drink and insincerely clinked glasses with Zhou Weiguo.
“I didn’t say anything. He wanted to find me a house on my own, but I refused. You know, I have a very good relationship with you. I won’t be happy living anywhere else if I leave you.”
You are happy, but have you ever thought about how we feel right now?
Okamura Neiji took out a cigarette, but instead of offering it to someone else, he lit one and stared at the ceiling. "You think we're living too well."
They thought these people weren't targeting them, and they could breathe a sigh of relief. But unexpectedly, in just a few days, this person launched a major attack on them.
Guderian suddenly sent so many things today; he wouldn't have done it without Zhou Weiguo's prompting.
For so long, the men had been wearing the uniforms from Berlin. Although the CIA might have some suspicions, they couldn't be sure that the Reich was here. But now, they were accompanied by a truckload of stuff.
They were directly exposed to the CIA.
"Have you never even considered taking action against the US?"
Caught off guard by the sudden question, Okamura Neiji asked, "Why do you ask that?"
"The situation. Because the US has opened up trade with you, while at the same time, Tokyo is very close to us and Britain. Two months ago, they even launched a sudden attack on Annan, offending three powerful countries at once. But you have great ambitions, and I think that's why they're trying to frame us."
Hindsight is 20/20; this matter is long gone.
Is there any point in saying all this?
Okamura Yasuji remained silent, smoking quietly.
Zhou Weiguo watched the wisps of blue smoke rising, then took out a cigarette and lit one for himself. Ruth, who was next to him, then went to the side to open the window.
A breeze blew in, bringing a chill, and Zhou Weiguo tightened his coat. "They don't want you to escape this misery, nor do they want us and the British to fail. Continuing the fight is more advantageous to them. And I believe that if an emergency occurs in South Asia, they are very likely to make decisions that are detrimental to you."
"Do they know how?" Okamura Neiji finally turned to look at Zhou Weiguo.
Zhou Weiguo chuckled, leaned back on the sofa, and stared at the ceiling. "Is it important?"
