Chapter 956 We will be fine, but some people will be unlucky next
This is really hateful.
"Right now, the people who most hope that we and the Japanese army will fight to the end are probably Watsonton's side."
Winston snorted coldly. "They could have provided their technology and sold large quantities of rails to Tokyo for the construction of the Southern Railway, allowing the Japanese army to expedite the mobilization of supplies to counter us. But they didn't consider that, despite suffering heavy losses early on, our Empire was able to hold off their advance on the edge of South Asia. I'm afraid this isn't what they want to see."
Johnson pouted. "I didn't expect them to be so despicable. It seems they really did it."
"Nine out of ten," Winston rubbed his temple and motioned for the two to sit down. He told Edward to immediately arrange for a special envoy to go to Shancheng and negotiate with them. He hoped his mother could dispatch troops from Mandalay to contain part of the Japanese army. In addition, he wanted William's small team to infiltrate the Japanese-controlled area and harass their transportation lines.
The Colonial Secretary pondered for a moment and then said, "I just don't know if they can make pancakes in the mountain city."
During this period, because the mountain city was under fierce attack by the Japanese army, they have withdrawn half of their elite troops back to the country, and now there are not many troops stationed there.
Winston chuckled. "If we don't have it easy, then he shouldn't expect to have an easy life in the mountain city. Also, have the navy cede part of their controlled area and tell them that as long as Berlin's transport fleet is heading towards Canada, we won't intercept them. We also want Canada to cede another two or three counties to Berlin."
Watson's abacus beads were about to fall on his face. If he didn't take any measures, would they think that the empire would allow them to manipulate it?
"The second-in-command is back."
Independent Brigade, Zhao Shoutian shouted in the courtyard, and a group of people who were resting or busy in the room came out.
"Are you back?" Fang Shengli threw the cigarette over and asked.
Zhou Weiguo nodded and looked around at everyone. Xiao Ya smiled at him and said, "You're glad to be back. Go change your clothes first. It's just right that you're back. Gangcun will be here soon. You're more suitable than anyone else to preside over this meeting."
Zhou Weiguo lit a cigarette and asked in confusion, "What is he doing here? Is he going to expand trade with us?"
Fang Shengli sat down at a table in the courtyard and shook his head. "No, regarding trade, it's just the purchase of personal belongings for our independent brigade and a small trade of light weapons. With Xiao Ye in the trade zone, there aren't any problems."
Zhou Weiguo walked over and sat next to him, asking in confusion, "If it's not business, then what's going on?"
"Go change your clothes first. This can't be explained in just a few words. Also, I'll ask Jinxiu and the others to get two dishes outside, and we'll talk while we eat."
Zhou Weiguo's military uniform has always been kept by Xiao Ya, while the two's supplies are in the care of Xiao Ya's guard Zhang Guifang. When Zhang Guifang saw the brigade commander coming in, he went to the room and placed the military uniform and shoes next to Xiao Ya's bed.
After changing into the military uniform, Zhao Shoutian and Jinxiu had already set the table for the meal, along with two bottles of wine.
Fang Shengli poured himself a sip of the liquor and said, "The day after your operation there, Commander Bai received news. He analyzed that no matter what Tokyo decides this time, they will adopt a plan to intensify the attack and divert the conflict. The Fog City will definitely use this to make us deploy troops to contain them. He sent Adjutant Li here, hoping that we will engage in a fight with the 4th Division first. If we do, the Fog City will have an explanation."
"It seems that the analysis of the headquarters is similar to ours." Zhou Weiguo took a sip of white wine, put the glass aside and started eating.
Xiao Ya glanced at him and asked, "Awen, why don't you drink a little more?"
Zhou Weiguo waved his hand; "No more drinking, I have something to discuss with Gangcun later. After that, there will be time for a couple of drinks.
In order to conceal their identities, the two sides held talks in a small village on the northwest defense line of the trade zone. The people of this village had fled to the north of Mandalay because of the war.
Xiao Ya came to the deployment in the afternoon and thoughtfully prepared a table of food. She also hung a diagram of the military defense postures of both sides on the wall.
After arriving at the trading zone, Gangcun walked here with his adjutant.
After entering the village, Zhao Shoutian immediately met him and brought him into the yard. Seeing Zhou Weiguo standing in the yard, Gangcun was stunned at first, then he showed a professional smile and came to Zhou Weiguo; "Zhou, when did you come back?"
Zhou Weiguo glanced at him sideways, knowing that he liked money, so he threw a watch over to him, which he had borrowed from Chao Xiang. He had a watch, and this second-hand one was best used as a gift to someone.
Gangcun casually put the watch into his pocket and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Arthur. This trip was worthwhile. From what I've heard, several divisions here have gone crazy. Requests for battle have been pouring into Tonggu like snowflakes. It seems that we will be able to break their defenses soon, and our forces will be tied down by the British from now on. Your side will no longer be the main battlefield."
"I hope so." Zhou Weiguo smiled and invited Gangcun into the room and sat down at the dining table. After the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, Zhou Weiguo looked up and asked, "Is this our invitation, or did you get the permission from Ichiro Hirata and his superiors to negotiate with us?"
Gangcun was eating his food. When he heard Zhou Weiguo say this, he didn't even look up and said, "Don't you already know?"
"You are here on orders." Zhou Weiguo asked more affirmatively.
Gangcun nodded without hesitation. "Now the entire empire believes that the losses suffered by the empire this time were caused by the British army. From the nobles to the common people, everyone in the country is clamoring to inflict heavy damage on the British army in order to avenge their hatred. Some even suggest taking revenge on their homeland. And the headquarters is..."
"Wait a moment." Zhou Weiguo raised his head and looked at Gangcun; "What did you just say?"
"What?" Gangcun, who was eating voraciously, didn't understand what Zhou Weiguo meant. "What did you just say?"
Zhou Weiguo lit a cigarette, took a puff, and asked, "You said some people on your side had some suggestions for what to do. I didn't hear it clearly just now."
Gangcun sighed. "Revenge against the Fog City itself? What's wrong with that?"
Chaoxiang Xiuling, who came with them, chuckled and said, "We don't have any problems, but some people may have problems."
