Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Chapter 780 Don’t You Want to Return to the Pacific?

Zhou Weiguo took a look at the young blonde and said, "Common sense suggests this person should be yours, but I'm not sure. After all, she's not mine."

Levski came up to him, took the umbrella and shielded Zhou Weiguo from the rain, then said, "If he wasn't one of my men, I wouldn't dare bring him here to see you. After all, if the higher-ups knew about our relationship, my entire family would probably be wiped out."

Zhou Weiguo nodded; "That's good. As usual, let's talk while we eat."

Levsky had no intention of bringing Zhou Weiguo to the living room. He went into the dining room next door, took a look at the hot pot ingredients on the table, and then glanced sideways at the big sycamore tree outside the window.

The raindrops fell on the sycamore tree with a sound of dripping. Gusts of cool breeze blew in from the window, making it very refreshing.

"This kind of weather is perfect for eating hot pot." Zhou Weiguo sat on a chair and rummaged through his pockets again and again, then took out two gold bars. These were from Fatty Kong. After all, he was going to do business with Shancheng, and Zhou Weiguo had no intention of using his own private money.

He handed one to Levski, then handed the other to Leah and said, "I didn't know you changed people, otherwise I would bring you some jewelry or something. Girls naturally like those, but it doesn't matter, you can buy yourself."

Is this a bribe?

Leah looked at the gold bars in front of her, her fingers trembling, and then she looked at Levsky.

She should take it.

"Take it." Levsky gestured for her to take it. Only by taking it could she be considered a true member of his family.

The fragrant soup whetted Zhou Weiguo's appetite. He and Chao Xiang Xiuling devoured five plates of meat and other dishes. After finishing their meal, Zhou Weiguo took a sip of red wine and said, "It seems that you in Moxico don't believe that we can stop the Japanese attack. You are actually offering us assistance."

Levski leaned back on the sofa. "I was going to remind them that even without our help, you can still stabilize the situation. But I know better than to say that Joseph and his men wouldn't listen to a mere envoy like me. Also, I know that if I did that, you might find fault with me once you learn of the situation."

"You do understand me." Zhou Weiguo put down his glass and took out a list from his pocket. "Take a look. What can you offer?"

Levsky reached out and took it. There were army equipment inside, including existing tanks and heavy artillery, as well as a large number of trucks and some air force equipment.

Putting the list down, he felt the smell of hot pot wasn't quite as pleasant after eating it. He stood up and walked to the window, lighting a cigarette and looking at Zhou Weiguo. "Don't you believe in traditional Chinese medicine in Shancheng that similar things can cure similar things? As for the army's equipment, you already have a complete factory and equipment system. It seems unnecessary to need these tanks. What you need right now is imported steel and rubber, right?"

"The problem is, we need it now." Zhou Weiguo sighed, "We are completely powerless right now. We can only use some existing equipment to alleviate the current crisis."

Levsky thought about the country's weak industrial strength and knew there was nothing he could do. He changed the subject. "Please ask for more air force equipment. That's what you really need."

Zhou Weiguo knew that Levski was thinking about the mountain city. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Since we want it this time, we'll have to ask for a big sum. We want a complete bomber production line, including an engine line and a civilian tractor line, as well as 300 fighter jets and 150 bombers. Furthermore, we want you to send personnel to assist us in building an air force school so that our pilots can grow rapidly. Also, two chemical plants, three pharmaceutical factories, and..."

"Stop, don't say anymore." Levsky didn't dare to listen anymore after hearing this. Zhou Weiguo really took advantage of the situation.

Zhou Weiguo silently took out a cigarette; "You think this is impossible?"

"Do you think he could do this?" Levsky said after taking a breath. "Our Empire has always been a philanthropist."

Damn, if the Empire wasn't worried that you wouldn't be able to hold on and surrender, it wouldn't have offered to aid you again. This time, you should just take whatever the Empire gives you. How can you still ask for such an exorbitant price?

"You might not even be able to halve it, let alone increase it by so much. I think if I submit this document, my head will be gone the next day."

Levsky refused sternly. He would never agree to it because it was simply impossible to do.

"We can lend you money. It's the same as borrowing money from you and paying it back later." Zhou Weiguo sat on the sofa next to him. "No matter how you look at it, you won't lose out."

"Impossible! This is a huge sum of money, and with your current financial situation, you probably can't even pay it back. How could the Empire allow this to happen? Can you think of something more realistic?"

Do you have any money? You don't have any money at all.

"Do you have money?" Levsky asked tentatively. If you have money, then maybe this thing can be done.

"No money."

"You have no money, what the hell are you talking about..."

Zhou Weiguo waved his hand to interrupt Levski and said, "Aren't you planning to return to the Pacific?"

Levski's cursing stopped. He stared at Zhou Weiguo for a long moment and then asked, "You...what do you mean by that?"

"Ever since you lost the Sea Life, you've also lost access to the Pacific Ocean. Although you still have other docks, those places are simply not suitable for your fleet to be stationed. That's why your Pacific Fleet hasn't returned since its withdrawal, isn't it?"

After taking a look at him, Levsky had to admit what Zhou Weiguo said. It was true that the Empire had no suitable ports here, so it temporarily incorporated the Pacific Fleet into the Black Sea Fleet, preparing to find an opportunity to drive out the Japanese bastards, and then let the fleet return.

"Yes, you are right. However, what does this have to do with your current high demand for supplies?"

Zhou Weiguo stood up and walked over to Levski. "We can provide you with a port."

what did you say?

Levski thought he had misheard. He looked at Zhou Weiguo, then raised his head and looked at the ceiling for a long moment before saying, "You...you still have a port there."
