Chapter 782 The Command Headquarters is also troubled
Zhou Weiguo put down the food in his hand and nodded; "Yes, we really don't have the strength to do that. After all, they are too strong."
"You knew that?" Fatty Kong's gaze fell on Zhou Weiguo. "You knew that and still did this? You're deliberately asking me to get scolded."
"Master Kong, it is true from common sense, but if Bei Su is gone, or if he is split in two, then why should we pay him back? We borrowed the money from Bei Su, and he no longer exists, so why should we pay him back?"
Fatty Kong's mouth twitched as he lowered his head to look at the documents in his hand and stood up. "I'm going to the headquarters. You guys, eat by yourselves."
Zhou Weiguo said it well.
If Beisu is gone, then Shancheng will no longer have to pay back the money, and the problem of the concession can be easily solved at that time.
Although this method is a bit shameless, it is the most effective one.
Headquarters of the commander of the Ninth War Zone.
Commander Bai, who had just finished a military meeting, hadn't had time to take a sip of tea before Adjutant Li came up to him and handed him a telegram: "Commander, the headquarters wants you to go to the mountain city immediately."
immediately?
Picking up the teacup, he looked up at Adjutant Li and asked, "What's so urgent that you need me to rush over right away?"
"I don't know. But I think this matter is related to Captain Zhou and his men."
The battle here has already started. The command should know that the commander of the war zone cannot leave the command center at this moment, but such an order has been issued from above. This can only mean one thing, that is, this matter is more important than the commander being in charge of the war zone.
Think carefully about what is happening now. Zhou Weiguo went to the mountain city. Maybe he did something big again, something that would force the headquarters to summon senior generals back.
"Well, it's very likely. If that's the case, then you should make the arrangements. We're very pressed for time right now."
Commander Bai went to the mountain city that day. It was already dusk when he arrived. When he returned home, he saw Zhou Weiguo and Chaoxiang Xiuling in the yard.
Zhou Weiguo and Chao Xiang Xiuling had no place to stay in the mountain city. After much thought, they felt that it was inappropriate to live in Fatty Kong's house, so they moved into this uninhabited official residence.
"You guys know how to choose a place." Commander Bai handed the briefcase to the adjutant and glanced at the two of them.
Zhou Weiguo stood up and pointed at the house; "Sir, it's empty anyway, let's come back and live here, at least it can attract some people."
Commander Bai sat down in a chair, took a sip of the teacup, and after listening to his nonsense, he asked, "The headquarters urgently summoned me back. Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
Chao Xiang Xiuling blinked and looked at her boss, then looked at Bai Changguan guiltily and said, "Yes, there is a little connection."
"There's a little bit of a connection. Tell Commander Bai directly. From the looks in their eyes, it's not just a little bit of a connection. It's directly related to them."
"Tell me, we asked you to come back to assist Fatty Kong in discussing aid from the Northern Soviet Union. What on earth did you do to prevent the headquarters from making a decision?"
"Sir, this is what happened..." Asaka Hiderei said after recounting the entire incident for nearly ten minutes. "This is what happened."
understood.
Commander Bai nodded slightly. "No wonder the command couldn't make a decision. Just this one move of yours has plunged Shancheng directly into the temptation of a huge pie and the brink of the abyss."
"Commander, how can this be called an abyss? For us, it has only benefits and no disadvantages." Zhou Weiguo was dissatisfied.
Commander Bai glanced at him and said, "You must know that if we borrow this money or lease Fuzhou out, and problems arise in Northern Jiangsu that don't go according to our plan, we will be burdened with an unsustainable debt, and Fuzhou will fall into their hands."
"A war between the Japanese and the Northern Soviet Union will inevitably break out sooner or later. This is unavoidable, because Vladivostok is a powder keg. It's just that we're missing an opportunity. Once they start fighting, Berlin will not let the Northern Soviet Union go. Under attack from both sides, the Northern Soviet Union's strength will be gradually eroded and consumed. They will have a hard time protecting themselves by then. If we can make a small move, it shouldn't be difficult for them to collapse."
Feeling his leverage wasn't enough, Zhou Weiguo thought for a moment and added, "Even if it doesn't collapse, by then everyone will be left penniless. The competition will be about national cohesion and industrial reserves. I think after a few years or even a dozen years of war, we'll have more supplies than them anyway. So, we'll have to fight anyway. Will we be afraid of them?"
Commander Bai knocked on the table and stood up. "Alright, I'll bring up your proposal at the meeting, but I'm afraid we'll have to wait for a decision on the specifics."
He just came back to understand the situation. As for the rest, he still had to go to the headquarters to find out.
Today's meeting was not held at the headquarters, but in the old man's official residence. The people who came were the absolute top leaders of both sides. Director Zhou from the cave and several other top leaders had also arrived at the scene.
"Come on, I guess you've already gotten a general idea of the situation from there." The old man asked after motioning him to sit down.
Commander Bai nodded slightly. "Yes, I have learned some of it, but I don't know the details yet."
Director Zhou glanced at him and smiled. "They've given us too much at stake, which makes us all hesitant. But we have to consider another issue. Northern Jiangsu is very powerful after all. Will we be able to compete with them in the future?"
Principal Zhang, who had already returned from Guangxi, also nodded. "This is an opportunity for our mountain city."
"Damn it," the old man rubbed his bald head. "You all know this is an opportunity, but it also presents trouble. I've called you here today to properly handle this matter. We all know each other, so let's talk freely. Should we do this? If we do, how can we prevent them from asking us to pay back the money?"
Commander Bai coughed. "I'd like to share Zhou Weiguo's opinion on this matter first. After all, this is the plan he proposed. We can discuss its feasibility. After all, since he proposed it, he must have made a certain judgment on the direction."
It was already noon the next day. Chao Xiang Xiuling, who was grilling at Commander Bai's residence, stood up and glanced at the still-clear road. Then, she sat down and asked Zhou Weiguo, who was rinsing oil next to her, "Boss, will the command headquarters approve?"
