Chapter 1166 This matter probably needs to be prepared in advance.
The British army was weak in combat.
But there's probably an element of letting them win in this situation. After all, it didn't affect their overall strategy, and they weren't going all out.
This can be seen from the login process.
The enemy's naval forces were still present, but they essentially ended the war without any real attack, and the coastal defense batteries did not put up a resistance for long either.
Are they truly afraid of death, or is there another reason?
“General.” Nanzo Yunzi interrupted Okamura Neiji’s thoughts.
Okamura Neiji, who had turned his gaze away from the distance, turned his head and hummed in response; "What's wrong?"
"The Berlin army is already advancing westward. Should we send troops to advance eastward?"
Let's move forward.
Neiji Okamura did not answer the telegram.
What's the point of accepting this? It was already part of the plan in Tokyo.
But the final result of this plan was exactly as the empire had hoped: a resounding victory.
Would Chongqing allow this?
What kind of backup plan has Zhou Weiguo laid?
This will probably only be known after both sides have combined their forces.
Without the resistance of the British army, the two armies advanced at an incredible speed, covering thousands of miles a day.
A month later, the two sides met in the central region.
Watching the armies embrace and celebrate their reunion, Okamura Neiji and Guderian walked side by side to a hillside. From there, they could see everything below.
The jubilant soldiers, the broken and abandoned British tanks, and the snow-covered mountains in the distance; further south lies American territory.
If possible, it would be just as wonderful there as it is today, because they would be its allies.
“The real test has begun.” Okamura Neiji offered a cigarette, one he had specially arranged to be brought from Berlin, because Guderian didn’t like the cigarettes from here.
Guderian pulled out a lighter, which was exquisite and studded with diamonds.
“This lighter was given to me by Zhou Weiguo when he left here. You know…” Guderian handed the lighter to Okamura Yasuji; “What does he want to tell me?”
Paji...
Okamura Yasuji fiddled with the lighter.
The orange flames swayed from side to side in the mountain breeze.
After watching for a moment, he said, "Perhaps he is trying to tell us not to play with fire and get burned."
Don't play with fire and get burned. Maybe.
Guderian put his hands in his sleeves; "What do you think he'll do?"
“I don’t know.” Okamura Neiji smiled bitterly and shrugged when he saw Guderian looking at him with a questioning gaze. “I really don’t know. I’ve known him for a long time, but to be honest, I’ve never known what he’s thinking. Sometimes, you could even say that he’s not a person.”
"He is a talented person and my best friend. I don't know what he will do, but I know he will definitely try to stop him. We are all soldiers. Soldiers are duty-bound to obey orders. As for the rest, that's the politicians' problem. If politicians can't solve the problem, no matter how many people we soldiers kill, it won't help."
He still couldn't bring himself to get rid of Zhou Weiguo.
Guderian had always known that Zhou Weiguo's presence would halve the success rate of the Empire's and Tokyo's plans. But he knew that the real deciding factor wasn't Yamashiro.
The mountain city will play a significant role, but other countries will also be involved, such as the Northern Soviet Union and the United Kingdom.
"You mean we should just wait and see?" Okamura Neiji thought Guderian was too kind.
Since Zhou Weiguo is a threat, wouldn't it be better to get rid of him?
Of course, he dared not take action, because Zhou Weiguo and his personal interests were too intertwined.
He dared not act rashly, for a single move could have far-reaching consequences. But Guderian was actually capable of it.
The relationship between Guderian and Zhou Weiguo was one of cooperation, not forced cooperation. He did what he was told, and Berlin wouldn't cause him any trouble, nor would Zhou Weiguo's group.
"Britain still has 500,000 troops in the north. Among these 500,000 troops, there are 400 tanks, more than 1,000 artillery pieces, and several thousand trucks. In addition, when they withdrew, they took all the armories with them. You don't think they were fleeing in a mess, do you?"
In the month or so of fighting, the other side did not really put up any resistance; they were all just moving backward.
What does this signify? It signifies that they are also actively preparing for the possibility of the US extending a goodwill towards the empire.
They will definitely make a move. Once they do, will America still back down?
They've reunited.
The mountain town received the news at noon the next day.
The Chongqing command immediately convened an emergency meeting, and even Commander Bai rushed back from Xi'an.
It has been two days and one night. The snow-covered courtyard has long since concealed the footprints of those who left.
A vast expanse of white made it impossible to open one's eyes.
Zhou Weiguo, who was warming himself by the fire in his room, noticed the sound of a car engine and looked up.
The closed door had already been opened by the soldiers, and before he could stand up, several black cars had already driven in.
Asaka Shurei was already asleep. Hearing the sound of the light being turned on inside, Zhou Weiguo laughed and said, "Go back to sleep. It's so cold, you don't need to get up."
The light in the room flickered on again, then fell silent again.
creak...
A gust of cold wind carrying snowflakes drifted in, and Zhou Weiguo, who had already walked to the liquor shelf, shivered.
It's really cold today.
"Sir, you're back." Zhou Weiguo waved the bottle of liquor in his hand; "It's freezing cold, let's have a drink to relieve our fatigue and warm up."
There were no dishes, but Zhang, Bai, Kong and the others still sat down by the stove. Seeing that there was only liquor and no food, the adjutant immediately went to the town at the foot of the mountain and bought some food.
During this time, Zhou Weiguo also learned about the current situation from Commander Bai.
The Japanese and Berlin forces met at noon yesterday, and then split into two groups, one advancing northward, while leaving only a small force in the south.
The command analyzed that they were planning a large-scale operation to crush the British forces, thereby controlling the northern region and taking control of the entire war situation.
"Sir, Winston has a backup plan: if the Americans decide to cooperate with Berlin, the troops they withdraw to the north will be used to attack them. However, we must consider that the British army's fighting strength is not as good as Berlin's, and sometimes even worse than the Japanese army. Therefore, we must be prepared for this."
