Chapter 1198 The Situation Becomes Chaotic Again
Having said all that, Hasegawa Kiyoshi said nothing, but simply picked up his glass of baijiu, downed it in one gulp, and asked, "What will become of me from now on?"
The plan in Shancheng is far too ambitious. Even though there's no indication of it happening now, based on their strategy, it's likely to succeed.
Perhaps, all of this can be accomplished in less than ten years.
At that time, as the executioner, what would become of him? Could he survive the moment when power was divided between various countries and the mountain city?
"It's just a name change, nothing serious. Besides, our Yamashiro Navy is too weak, and we always need some people to hold the fort. You've followed us for so long, so Yamashiro naturally appreciates your help. You may not be in a leading position, but you're definitely in a deputy position."
"Alright." Hase Kiyoshi chuckled twice; "I don't have much of a choice."
When Zhou Weiguo returned, Chaoxiang had already entered the palace.
He was a member of the royal family and a minister in the General Staff. As the emperor, he would naturally inquire about some routine matters.
When he returned, Zhou Weiguo was still waiting.
"Are you waiting for the results?" Asaka asked, looking at Zhou Weiguo sitting on the sofa.
"He hesitated, so he summoned you to hear your opinion. I don't want to know what he's thinking; I just want to know what you think."
Asaka nodded to Zhou Weiguo; "He's worried because Washington's economy is just too strong. Even Britain is being suppressed by them. Naturally, he's concerned, and he also knows very well that this series of victories is largely due to our sudden attack. He's worried that if the other side prepares for war, then..."
We definitely can't beat them.
Zhou Weiguo chuckled; "We definitely can't beat him, but what we in Shancheng need is for him to be able to win. And we believe he definitely can."
Asaka glanced at Zhou Weiguo and leaned back on the sofa. "Don't worry, I know what Yamashiro wants. I will persuade him. And you can rest assured, I don't need to persuade him much. He will agree because the existence of the Pacific Fleet is the biggest threat."
“Then I’ll wait and see.” Zhou Weiguo smiled and stood up. “Father-in-law, you’ve worked hard. Get some rest. Tomorrow, let’s have a drink together.”
In Shancheng, due to the easing of tensions with the Northern Soviet Union, Xiao Zhuge has returned to Shancheng.
Furthermore, given that there have been no large-scale battles in several war zones, he remains the Deputy Chief of the General Staff, responsible for national troop deployments, among other things.
Deng Yaoxian has been transferred back to Shancheng to serve as the stationmaster of Shancheng Station.
Khabayev remained Xiao Zhuge's adjutant.
The residence of Little Zhuge is bustling with activity today. General Zhang and Fatty Kong have both come here.
The topic of discussion among the group was the situation in Tokyo.
"What do you think about this?" Little Zhuge asked bluntly.
"The army has a navy that is not much different from their navy. If this fleet is integrated into the navy, their military strength will increase greatly. As for Washington, he will probably increase the number of troops in the Pacific."
"This is a good thing." Fatty Kong patted his belly; "Cooperation is no longer possible, so we must be wary."
General Zhang glanced at Khabayev standing next to Little Zhuge and asked, "You were once the head of the intelligence department in the North Soviet Union. What do you think about this matter?"
Khabayev never expected that people would ask him about this.
He looked at Little Zhuge, who smiled and said, "If it weren't for certain reasons, you could go to some places."
That's what we're doing to get him to talk.
"Generals, if the army's ships have been transferred to the navy, then Watson has only two options: first, increase the number of ships; second, wait and see."
What choice will he make?
The group fell into deep thought. Given the situation in the mountain city, it would naturally be better for them to send reinforcements. But the question was, would Watson do that?
"Let's wait and see. I think this power struggle will be over soon."
The imperial council meeting lasted for five or six days.
It was all over. Asaka took a deep breath. He could give Zhou Weiguo an explanation and send this plague away.
This guy in Kyoto is a ticking time bomb.
Back home, he found Zhou Weiguo on the second floor.
"After the Imperial Conference concluded, several aircraft carriers and battleships from the Army were transferred to the Navy, along with a considerable number of cruisers and destroyers. Meanwhile, the Navy allocated 30% of its military budget to the Army as a supplement to this arrangement."
Your Majesty ultimately needs to benefit from both sides.
The navy needs ships, but has limited materials; the army has ships, but their military budget is too small. It is actually a compromise between them.
"That means it's done." Zhou Weiguo was well aware of the size of the army fleet. Now that it had been transferred to the navy, it meant that the navy's military strength had increased dramatically.
You, Watson, I, Zhou Weiguo, don't believe you're truly not afraid.
Such a big thing happened in Tokyo, and the news quickly reached Marcel.
After thinking for a while, Marcel went to the presidential palace.
“I knew you were coming, so I’ve been waiting for you here.” Rosif gestured for him to sit down.
Marcel sat down beside Ping and asked, "So, what should we do about this?"
"This would immediately increase military strength by two-thirds, a force that would inspire fear anywhere. Therefore, my proposal is to increase troop numbers."
Marcel frowned. He wanted to avoid cooperating with the Japanese, but he didn't want the relationship with them to become too strained.
“Once we send reinforcements, we will have no way out, and neither will the Empire. We just need to maintain the status quo.”
Rosef glanced at him; “We have no choice either. The council won’t allow it. It has already affected the defenses of my empire. That place cannot be compromised. We can’t control what Tokyo will do next, but what we need to do is see if we can stop them if they do something.”
"So, what does the president mean by 'how much more'?"
Increasing the number of troops would mean turning against the other side, but if the increase in troop strength is smaller, the situation would naturally ease.
Therefore, Marcel wanted to know how much more to add.
Rosef glanced at him; "That depends on what the parliament decides."
Why should I care what the parliament says? I mainly care about what you mean; your meaning is the most important thing.
You are the one who oversees the overall situation.
“I would like to hear what His Excellency the President has to say,” Marcel asked after looking at him for a while.
