Chapter 585: The Chief's Office Has No Surplus Food
Nanzō Yunko put down the spoon in her hand and said with a smile, "I'm afraid I can't win."
Can't beat it?
Nakamura was stunned for a moment and then understood.
Britain is the most prosperous and wealthy country, and their navy is so powerful that it gives the Empire a headache just thinking about it, not to mention that they also have vast colonies. These colonies bring them wealth every year that is incomparable to that of the Empire.
"Then we shouldn't be able to fight. We can only bury our hatred in our hearts. After all, we can't win." Nakamura felt that it shouldn't be described as fear, but simply, we can't win.
"Yes, we can't defeat them. But if their homeland is attacked by our allies, do you think the higher-ups will still think they can't defeat them?"
what?
Nakamura took a deep breath, and after a long moment he said, "Miss, you are right, but our allies are not that stupid."
Attacking northern Su is much easier than attacking them to the west.
"Sometimes it's not a question of whether they are stupid or not, but some external factors that will affect their decision-making. There is one more thing that you should also be clear about. Who do you think is the most active in wanting us to go to war with Europe and the United States?"
Who is the most active?
Nakamura said without thinking, "Of course it's the mountain city. Once the fight starts, the pressure on them..."
Nanzō Yunko shook her head. “No, although Yamashiro has such an idea, their ability is not enough to influence the decision-making in Berlin.”
"So, young lady, what do you mean?"
"Navy." Nanzō Yunko picked up the spoon again and took a bite; "The last time they went north to fight, one-third of the money that belonged to the navy was allocated to the army. Although it's not much, it touched the navy's cake. How could they let this happen? Naturally, they need to find a chance to take it back. I guess they are no match for the army just by fighting with words, so they need to think of another way, and that way is to go to war with Europe and the United States, because this requires their navy as the main force."
This...this...
Nakamura was speechless for a moment. He raised his head and looked at the somewhat gloomy queen, thinking to himself.
Why does it feel like the empire is not fighting against outsiders, but... it's just that its own people are fighting against each other.
Headquarters of the commander of the Ninth War Zone.
Commander Bai and several senior staff officers all set their sights on Area No. 4 in the northwest of Changsha.
That place is an important stronghold for guarding Changsha, but this morning, a Sichuan Army stationed there was broken through by the Japanese army. Even though he urgently mobilized a brigade of troops to rush to the rescue, he still failed to catch up. Now, the Rujun Hata Detachment and the Seya Detachment transferred from Xuzhou have joined together and are advancing towards Yun County.
Yu County is extremely important. Once the Japanese army occupies it, they can attack in three directions. At that time, the forces of the Ninth War Zone will be dispersed again by the Japanese army. At that time, it will be disadvantageous for the defense of the Ninth War Zone.
"Sir, we must defend this place. Once this place falls into the hands of the enemy, I'm afraid they will break in from that side." Chief of Staff Wu pointed to Yu County and said.
Commander Bai folded his arms, his eyes fell on the place where the Seya Detachment and the Hata Detachment met. This force was currently equipped with ten tanks and five armored vehicles, with a total strength of more than 7,000 people.
Now he has few troops left, and the 74th Army needs to be used as a reserve force. The remaining troops may not be able to stop the enemy's attack.
He should transfer someone.
"What are we waiting for?" In the headquarters of the independent regiment, Ono slapped the map in front of him with his eyes shining. "Old Zhou, what the hell are you hesitating about? Go and fight. The Japanese army broke through the Sichuan Army's defense position and headed straight for Yu County. If they take this place, then the northwest gate of Changsha will be under their control. When the time comes, they can attack whenever they want, and our northwest will be threatened by them first."
At this point, he noticed the strange looks in everyone's eyes, so he coughed and spread his hands. "Yes, I admit that I did take a fancy to the equipment in their hands, but you also have to admit that what I said was the truth."
Ono made the others feel a little scared. He dodged to Xiao Ya's side and lowered his voice. "If we take down these two detachments, we can earn a lot of money. Don't forget, we still have the Fifth Battalion, which is using Japanese equipment. Without replenishment, I can't get them ammunition."
Xiao Ya didn't say anything, but looked at Awen.
She let Awen make the decision on this matter.
The entire regiment headquarters fell into silence. Everyone knew that the Japanese army must have also set their sights on this place. Once a battle broke out, it would be a fierce one. Moreover, these two armies had been defeated by the independent regiment. If they wanted to use the original method, it might not work.
"Captain." Jinxiu hung up the phone and came to Zhou Weiguo. "Captain, the headquarters asked you to rush over immediately."
Zhou Weiguo took the military cap and left with Zhao Shoutian and Chao Xiang Xiuling.
Xiao Ye looked around and chuckled twice. "It seems that we have to go to the front line. I have to go buy chicken, duck, fish and meat."
There was going to be a war, and people were going to die. Normally, he would not eat or spend money, but this time, he was willing to spend money. Because today's willingness to spend money was to get more tomorrow.
He is not a person without conscience. At least, he thinks he has a conscience.
Xiao Ya guessed that the superiors wanted Awen to go because they wanted the troops to go to Yu County. She looked at the people around her and said, "Get ready."
Chief's Department.
Zhou Weiguo and Chao Xiang Xiuling were taken directly to the operations room.
Commander Bai motioned him to come over, then pointed to Yu County. "I can only give you two battalions of troops, plus the independent regiment in your hands. You must stay in Yu County until the situation stabilizes. Do you dare to accept it?"
What else could Zhou Weiguo say? This was no longer a discussion, but a direct message to him that he had to keep his eyes on Yu County.
"No problem." Zhou Weiguo nodded in agreement. Since Commander Bai thought highly of him, he would accept the mission.
"Tell me what difficulties you have." Commander Bai knew that this time Zhou Weiguo would not only face attacks from two detachments, but also attacks from the Japanese air force, and that place would be difficult to defend.
But we must keep it.
Since the rest of the troops were not suitable, he could only transfer Zhou Weiguo's independent regiment to fight against the old man Ueda Kanekichi.
"If you have any difficulties, please raise them as soon as possible. As long as the war zone can do it, I will satisfy you. In addition, I have reported to Shancheng that the 4th Air Force Squadron will enter this area to assist you in defending Yu County. The threat to you from the air will not be very great."
"Commander Bai, aren't you reminding us not to open our mouths too wide?" Chao Xiang Xiuling said with a giggle.
The originally serious atmosphere was made somewhat relaxed by the lively Xiang Xiuling.
Commander Bai glanced at her and smiled, "Commander, we don't have much surplus food either."
