Chapter 1169 He really couldn't understand it.
He was royalty; his heart should have been with the empire, but what he did...
They are all going in opposite directions.
"What do you plan to do?" Asaka asked, shifting her body slightly as he remained silent. She felt extremely uneasy, genuinely worried that this guy would go crazy and start throwing poison gas bombs everywhere.
“A peaceful resolution.” Zhou Weiguo said, a cigarette dangling from his lips.
A peaceful resolution?
Prince Asaka looked at Zhou Weiguo with an incredulous expression.
How could he not believe that?
"You...you're telling the truth."
Zhou Weiguo hummed in agreement; "More real than real gold."
Seeing that Asaka still didn't trust him, Zhou Weiguo offered an explanation, which was a rare occurrence for him.
"As I said, I am not a murderer, and this time, there was no need to use poison gas. To be honest, I am quite grateful to him for his thoughtfulness. If he hadn't mysteriously dropped a poison gas bomb here, I would have really been in trouble. But now, everything has fallen into place."
Everything will fall into place.
What is he trying to do?
Asaka was confused; she couldn't understand anything she saw or heard.
Looking up, he realized that only Zhou Weiguo had come in; his daughter was not there.
"Didn't she come?"
No matter how much he resented his daughter, he still hoped to see her.
“I’m being held in the military court. How could she possibly be here? Besides, don’t you think it would arouse suspicion if the two of us appeared together? And if we were here together, would you really feel good about it?”
I'm afraid not.
Whether it happens or not is no longer important.
Asaka thought it was unimportant, while Washington, far away on the other side of the Pacific Ocean...
The Presidential Palace is brightly lit.
The Secretary of State was pushing Roosevelt in a wheelchair for a walk in the back garden.
The streetlights illuminated the area as if it were daytime, and guards could be seen hiding in the shadows from time to time. They would glance outside, make sure there was no danger, and then slowly pull their heads back in. Servants could also be encountered on the road from time to time.
"The British have now regained control of the North Atlantic. Not long ago, Parliament proposed that we cooperate with Tokyo and Berlin. I wonder what Your Excellency's opinion is on this."
Arriving at a secluded spot, the Secretary of State stopped and asked.
Roosevelt turned and glanced at him; “Smith, you should know that we don’t gain much by cooperating with them.”
They're too strong. It's not just Berlin that's strong; Tokyo is strong too. Now, with Tokyo joining forces with Berlin, they will be even stronger, as they will receive even more technological supplies.
"Does Your Excellency mean we should continue to wait and see?" Smith asked, looking down.
Seeing that Roosevelt remained silent, Smith advised, "The people in Congress probably won't agree. Also, once they control everything in the North, we might face their direct threat of war, a responsibility we can't afford."
It was getting cold again, and Smith pushed him toward the room.
As he walked, he said, “Your Excellency, there are two idioms in Chongqing: ‘adding flowers to brocade’ and ‘sending charcoal in snowy weather.’ Their current goal is to force us to follow them. Joining now would be like sending charcoal in snowy weather, but what if we do it later…”
From now on, it will just be icing on the cake; they won't be grateful, nor will they think that the empire has contributed much to this matter.
At that time, discrepancies will arise in the distribution of benefits.
“You need to consider my Smith. We are a commercialized country. What we need to consider is maximizing the interests of the people. We don’t have a large market in Berlin and the Japanese army because they can completely produce and sell their own products. If we cooperate with them, how will we support so many arsenals and arms dealers?”
Who were the ammunition sold to, and who were the food supplies sold to?
“But war…” Smith worried that the other side’s patience was limited.
Roosevelt glanced at him sideways and then laughed, "Isn't my empire powerful?"
At this point, he glanced to the side and thought for a moment before saying, "If you are really worried about this issue, then you can secretly arrange for someone to contact them. This game is a game between the Soviet Union, Britain, and Chongqing, and Berlin and Tokyo. We are the target of this game. What we need to do is see what the other side can give us and what we can get in return."
“Understood.” Smith nodded; “I will arrange this as soon as possible.”
I've been here for four or five days now.
For five or six days, Chaoxiang was on tenterhooks. He believed that Zhou Weiguo would not do anything reckless, but he was even more convinced that this silent figure who could cause such a sensation was probably plotting something even more terrifying.
Unable to understand or comprehend it, Chaoxiang didn't go home to keep an eye on Zhou Weiguo after get off work for the first time. Instead, she went to Nanzaolin's place.
Nan Zaolin, who has become a full-fledged gardener, takes excellent care of his yard. Even in winter, many flowers are still in full bloom.
"Don't damage my flowers." Nan Zaolin, carrying a watering can, immediately stopped Chao Xiang as she was about to touch the flowers with her rough hands.
That was Mingzi's favorite flower. Although Mingzi hadn't come for a while, he believed that one day she would return.
She hasn't come back yet because she has things to do. She will definitely come back when the opportunity arises.
"Who would have thought that beneath these beautiful flowers lies a venomous creature capable of paralyzing Kyoto?" Asaka withdrew her hand, turned to him, and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
Scared?
Nan Zaolin chuckled a few times and put down the water bottle; "What do I have to be afraid of?"
He looked at the soil beneath the flowers; "Those things also need someone to control them. Without someone controlling them, they will never become something malicious. As for the future..."
Now that he's dead, who cares about the world of the living when he's dead?
“You seem to really believe he won’t do anything reckless.” Asaka lit a cigarette and sat opposite Minami.
He couldn't understand where Nan Zaolin's confidence came from.
Is Zhou Weiguo's self-control really that good, or have I underestimated him and been prejudiced against him?
Nan Zaolin picked up the teacup, took a sip, and smiled, "You're mistaken. It's not that I believe him."
So why?
It's normal for him to be here every day, guarding these poison gas bombs for him.
Just like the gravedigger, they are truly content with it.
"Then I don't understand." Prince Asaka spread his hands, utterly bewildered.
Nan Zaolin chuckled twice and then crossed his arms. "You don't understand? Actually, it's not that simple to understand this."
Simple?
