Chapter 818 Hello, Hello, Hello, Everyone
"What's the problem?" Guderian asked, putting down his coffee.
"I want to know if you are planning to shift the battlefield and prepare to launch an attack on Beisu."
Guderian and Dönitz looked at each other, and then Guderian answered the question.
"Yes, we've consumed a large amount of supplies in Africa. Although we've captured some areas, the returns we've received are very low. Therefore, we've decided to launch a surprise attack on the North Soviet Union, striving to capture their industrial areas and food production areas to replenish our supplies."
"So, there's still a need for us to cooperate again." Zhou Weiguo smiled calmly and was about to continue when Ruth walked in. "General, the food is ready. How about we talk while we eat?"
"Let's go, let's talk about this issue while we eat." Xiao Ya stood up and invited them. She was now a major general, and she was also Zhou Weiguo's wife, so when she invited them, everyone present stood up and followed her to the next room.
During this time, Guderian and Dönitz were both wondering what Zhou Weiguo had just said.
Chinese food is the best way to talk while eating.
Guderian and Zhou Weiguo had the longest contact and knew each other best. After taking a few bites of food, Gu Denian looked up at Zhou Weiguo beside him and asked, "What do you mean by the cooperation you mentioned just now?"
"Northern Soviet Union's combat effectiveness and their space for maneuvering are too great. If you are not 80% sure of victory, it is best not to act. In addition, they have a collective economy and can quickly convert civilian assets into military ones. This conversion method makes it impossible to estimate their ammunition and weapons production. Therefore, I do not recommend attacking Northern Soviet Union."
"So where do you suggest I go?" Dönitz asked.
Zhou Weiguo laughed twice. "Open up new areas and launch an attack on Canada, the British colony."
"What?" Guderian was shocked when he heard this. Dönitz thought about it and shook his head. "Impossible, this is impossible. We can't... we can't get out at all."
Did Guderian understand what Zhou Weiguo meant?
By using the imperial army to enter Canada, the United States would be forced to refrain from any rash intervention. This would allow the Japanese army to re-start its offensive towards Southeast Asia and Delhi. The mountain city would then have a chance to breathe, and with the aid of the northern Soviet Union, it would develop rapidly.
"Your plan is quite good, but what good will it do us? It'll just create another enemy." Guderian waved his hand and smiled. "Brother, I'm afraid this method won't work."
"Even if we succeed, it will be difficult. Our fleet cannot get out at all. Even if it gets out, it will be intercepted by their fleet." Dönitz added.
The beef here tastes better and the chef prepares it well, so Chaoxiang Xiuling has been eating it all the time. Now she hears that the food here is not good.
She raised her head and put down her chopsticks. "As for attacking Northern Soviet Union, the Japanese army will not join you in a two-pronged attack. Instead of attacking Northern Soviet Union with them, why not consider cooperating with us and launching an attack on Northern Soviet Union? After all, we are the best partners."
Both of them were stunned. What did they hear just now?
Shancheng also wants to attack Beisu.
"Speaking of hatred, I'm afraid no other country in the world harbors a deeper hatred than we do. Don't forget, our Shancheng has been indirectly and directly accusing them of seizing nearly three million square kilometers of our former territory. You don't think we can just let it go, do you?"
Guderian hummed. "That's true, but that doesn't mean you'll attack them at the same time we attack."
"That can't be done. Our military is too weak. We need a year or two to recuperate and develop, and even find resources and minerals to strengthen our military. Since we all have the same goal, why not work together? That's one thing. Secondly, if we attack Canada, the US won't dare to act recklessly because of you. As for the Japanese army, you can completely unite with them to attack Canada. Let the US deal with it. Isn't that better? After all, the US has caused them too much trouble recently, and it has also caused us too much trouble."
"One more thing." Xiao Ya took over Chao Xiang Xiuling's words and looked at the two people across from her. "As long as they give the Japanese enough weapons, they will take care of Mei for you."
Guderian was tempted. The Führer had always strongly supported Yamashiro, assisting them with military construction, troop training, and a series of other aids, in fact, hoping to pull Yamashiro into his own camp. However, due to the situation and the Japanese army's relentless pressure, the Führer had no choice but to abandon Yamashiro.
But now, this plan seems to be successful again.
The mountain city is only weak in technical strength, it cannot be said that their combat effectiveness is weak.
I have discussed this issue with Rommel and others. We have figured that with the manpower and weapons and equipment, the Japanese army will definitely beat the army in the mountain city into pieces.
Mountain cities are truly suitable for cooperation.
"I personally don't object to this suggestion, but there's one thing: our fleet can't leave, and Canada..."
"What if we give you some area over there?"
"Give...give up part?" Dönitz was startled by Zhou Weiguo's words. The other side actually gave up part of the route. Was it trying to tell him that the British would open the channel and let the Imperial Fleet pass? How...how could this be possible?
"Leave this matter to us. I guarantee they will allocate a piece of land to you, but as for your leader..."
Zhou Weiguo was not sure whether the leader would agree to this plan.
"Let's talk about this matter." Guderian was not a fool. According to Zhou Weiguo's statement, there was no need for the empire to launch an attack on Northern Soviet Union at this time. Their military forces were all placed in the west. If they launched an attack, even a sneak attack, he actually only had a 50% chance of success.
It would be great if we could get through, but what if we can’t?
Unable to defeat the Japanese, the British took advantage of the mediation of the United States to stop fighting with the Japanese army. If the Japanese army used its strength in the mountain city, then the Fog City could draw troops from all over to deal with itself.
Without the material support of the colonies, the empire will probably not be able to hold on for long if it relies solely on the materials in the currently occupied areas. If fresh blood can be integrated into the empire, even if it is a few years later, then this will be a good deal for the empire.
Furthermore... the Empire wasn't actually prepared for a war against Northern Soviet Russia. Now that the Head of State had proposed launching an operation against Northern Soviet Russia, it was... simply out of options. If, as Zhou Weiguo said, he had a solution, then why didn't the Empire give it a try?
It's just to let them use it as a knife.
