Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Chapter 871 Come, who among you dares to stand up and say there will be no problem

"What do you mean? Are you trying to say that there are even more terrible consequences?" Fang Shengli took a deep breath. He was so happy just now, but he didn't expect Ono and Kuroki Ichiro to pour cold water on him.

Kuroki Ichiro glanced at him. "Yamashiro's military strength is growing. Tokyo has only two options: increase its forces, or give up. They won't give up, they'll only increase their forces. Therefore, we will face greater military pressure from Tokyo, and Watsontown's goal will be achieved."

Zhou Weiguo waved his hand: "There's nothing to worry about. Having good weapons and equipment doesn't mean we are invincible. We have weapons and equipment, but we can't win."

Ichiro Kuroki looked at Zhou Weiguo in front of him in surprise.

He could tell that this was a fake battle on the battlefield.

"Yeah, we have equipment, so what? But we can't win."

"I really regret meeting you guys. I have lost all my dignity as a human being." Kuroki Ichiro covered his face. As a soldier, he felt sad that there were people like Zhou Weiguo in the army.

Taking shamelessness and disrespect to the extreme.

"What's wrong? If being shameless and shameless can increase the benefits of my mountain city, I can even give up my dignity."

"That's right, what's the use of face? To eat it." Ono echoed repeatedly. As the chief of the quartermaster department of the independent brigade, he was the most qualified to say this. If he cared about his face, he would lose a lot of money.

"We can earn money back if we lose it, but if we let the enemy invade our territory, the manpower and financial resources we need to invest, as well as the subsequent reconstruction, will be countless times more than this batch of supplies."

In the Watsonton Cabinet meeting room, the Shancheng documents Ruth brought back caused an uproar. Opposition voices immediately emerged from the cabinet.

The opposition mainly came from the navy. It could almost be said that the Empire was giving them a small fleet, complete with a naval gun and torpedo production line, and the only thing missing was a shipyard.

The Secretary of the Navy opposed, the Secretary of War remained neutral, the Secretary of the Treasury was hesitant, and President Roosevelt did not express any opinion.

The situation was at a stalemate, and George had no choice but to break the deadlock by throwing out a question and letting these people figure it out themselves.

"Generals, if you can ensure that the enemy will never land on our mainland to fight, then we can stop all aid to the mountain city. I would like to ask who among the garrison can step forward and give us this guarantee."

His eyes moved slowly, first looking at the Minister of War, who avoided his gaze.

What a joke! Now Berlin's C Army Group and several armored divisions are near the border. He dare not make such a guarantee.

The Minister of the Navy met George's gaze but also avoided it. His fleet was scattered, and the size of the Home Fleet was not that large. According to reconnaissance, Berlin had sent at least 30 submarines, and also had the British North American Fleet under its command. It could be said that they were strong in both men and horses, and he did not dare to attack.

"It seems that none of you dare to make such a guarantee." George looked at the Minister of Finance; "Then calculate the value of this batch of supplies and the losses they would cause if they attacked the mainland. If the Japanese army attacked us during the attack on Berlin, how much would we lose?"

It is impossible to estimate, perhaps it will be dozens, hundreds or even more times the amount of this batch of supplies.

"Everyone, are you still worried about the issue of the Mountain City Lion asking for too much?" George asked, looking at everyone with his hands spread out.

Roosevelt pondered for a moment. "The British are too weak, not even as strong as the troops in the mountain city. If you have no objection, then approve it. Let MacArthur, the non-protocol official, or Nimitz distribute their supplies and mobilize ships from the mainland to replenish them."

"Mr. President, they requested submarine torpedo technology and naval gun production technology, as well as some other information. These are..."

"Giving it is one thing, but whether they can make it is another, isn't it?" Roosevelt laughed.

Seeing that he had figured it out, George added, "Northern Jiangsu gave them the production line. Is that because they're generous? I'm afraid not. What they've seen is that Shancheng can't produce it because they don't have the resources to support it."

Lost. Lost just like that?

The news that the 300,000-strong army was cut into pieces and destroyed in just half a month, and that the Japanese army captured nearly 230,000 prisoners, was sent back to London. Winston at the Prime Minister's Office was so angry that he didn't eat the whole morning.

Winston placed his cigar in the crystal ashtray and frowned as he watched Defense Secretary Johnson approach. "I've been thinking for hours about why our army is so vulnerable."

Johnson stood there quietly listening to him complain. He was too embarrassed to answer the question.

"I understand that we can't defeat Berlin. After all, they defeated the Gauls, who had the best army in Europe, in less than a month. However, we still can't defeat these yellow-skinned people. Is this our problem, or are the Japanese army too fierce and can be compared with Adolf in Berlin?"

"I think it's our fault. We've become complacent. Since we won the war, we've forgotten our responsibilities and the reason for our existence."

"It was my fault," Johnson admitted frankly.

"This isn't just your fault. The army generals need a thorough overhaul," Winston said with a sigh. "I didn't call you here today to hear you admit your mistakes. I want to know what your plans are for South Asia."

His gaze fell on the Defense Minister, Viskin, who was standing next to him. "As the Defense Minister, you should have a plan."

Viskin pulled a document from under his armpit. "Wilson is leading the remaining tens of thousands of men to build new defensive positions in the north, preparing to stop the Japanese attack. Furthermore, the two armies drawn from Delhi have also departed. I believe that soon, we will be able to..."

"Are you sure that they can really stop the opponent's attack with their low morale?" Winston poured cold water on them without any hesitation.

Viskin was choked and couldn't utter a word.

Although what the Prime Minister said was harsh, it was also a fact. Even though they were well-rested, they were still beaten to a pulp by the enemy. Not to mention that they were just a group of defeated soldiers, how could they stop the Japanese army's crazy attack?

"What's the news from Tokyo?"

"No information yet, but their two divisions are gathering at the port. In addition, two divisions of the Kwantung Army are also gathering outside the mountain city pass."

"Oh my God." Winston felt cold all over when he heard the news.
