Chapter 464: It’s a nice idea, but will the North allow the Empire to do this?
The incident happened suddenly, and Zhou Weiguo did not expect that the headquarters convened a military meeting this time for this matter.
He shook his head slightly and said, "Not yet, but now that we know about this, let's make plans. At least when Commander Bai comes back, we won't be caught off guard."
The three of them were discussing there, and halfway through their conversation, Xiao Ya came back with Chao Xiang Xiu Ling and a few others.
"Sister, you have to take me out to see the world more often." Chaoxiang Xiuling walked in holding a box.
Zhou Weiguo turned his head and saw Xiang Xiuling smiling and coming to him to open the box. "Big sister knows so many noble people. We just visited a few people and got so many jewelry. This is faster than robbing the Japanese army."
Zhou Weiguo had nothing to say.
He also didn't expect that when Xiao Ya came to the mountain city, by chance she proposed to set up a welfare organization for war orphans, and Uncle Zhang's wife united other people. It was through this line that Xiao Ya got to know the wives of the high-ranking officials of the headquarters, and soon became their favorites.
"Otherwise, how could I become your eldest sister?" Zhou Weiguo said proudly.
Deng Yaoxian looked at Zhou Weiguo's smug look, coughed, and then knocked on the table to attract the attention of several people, and said, "It's just right that you all have returned, join us, let's discuss this matter and how to solve the current situation."
"The situation is not going to be easy, is it?" At the 14th Division headquarters, after Okamura Neiji pointed at the map and said that this time Yamashiro would face the biggest crisis in its history, Nanzō Yunko, who was standing next to him, said calmly.
Neiji Okamura had not expected that Ueda Kanekichi would be willing to use the destruction of two regiments to break through their defense line, and then he attacked one place with all his strength and forcibly opened up the situation on the Yamashiro Henan battlefield.
It was only after he saw him tear open the enemy's defense that he let his troops resume the attack. After all, he also needed to gain benefits.
"Why, do you think they still have a chance to resolve the situation now?"
When the two sides join forces, not to mention the troops of the Northern Command, I am afraid that the Kwantung Army will also dispatch troops to assist the interior and win the battle, thus forcing Yamashiro to come to the negotiating table.
He couldn't see any chance that Shancheng would be able to resolve the situation this time.
Nanzō Yunko's position in this division is very special. She is the head of intelligence, but at the same time, she is also a senior staff officer of the 14th Division.
Pointing at the map, Nanzō Yunko kept moving southward, and finally stopped at a place and said, "General, if they mobilize heavy troops from here to launch a counterattack, do you still think we have a chance to fight them in a decisive battle west of Wuhan?"
hiss……
Okamura Neiji took a deep breath and swallowed his saliva, looking at the place where Nanzō Yunko pointed; "It seems that our efforts this time have been in vain."
Nanzō Yunko nodded slightly and said, "It will definitely be in vain. Even if it is the mountain city, if they don't attack this side, will the North allow this to happen?"
idiot.
Okamura Neiji had a gloomy face. He quickly looked to the north and said with gritted teeth: "This is simply... This is simply..."
"Too deceiving."
Not long after Deng Yaoxian left, Zhou Weiguo, who was studying a map with Yu Huohuo and Takeshita Shun in the living room, heard a roar outside.
The three people turned their heads and saw that Commander Bai had returned, and following behind them was a fat man.
Although Zhou Weiguo had never seen this fat man, he knew him. He was the Minister of Finance and Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Shancheng, Lord Kong.
Xiao Ya knew his wife, but they didn't have much interaction.
"Sir." Zhou Weiguo and his men stood up. Commander Bai glanced at them and said with a smile, "We are not at a military meeting, nor on the battlefield. Please be more casual."
After that, he began to introduce the people he brought with him; "He is the one who distributes the money for our army. He is also our Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. You should be familiar with Yu Huohuo."
Of course he was not unfamiliar with him. Yu Huohuo looked him up and down and asked Lord Kong in confusion, "Why... why are you with Commander Bai?"
You are a civil servant, why are you getting close to the military officer? What do you want to do?
Lord Kong sat on the sofa and rubbed his temples. "Why don't you come to your superiors for advice?"
Yu Huohuo lowered his head and drank tea. He really couldn't do anything about this matter. After all, Commander Bai had agreed to it. What else could he say?
Commander Bai coughed and took over the topic; "I ran into him right after the military meeting. He looked worried. Besides, we are both on good terms, so I asked him to come sit down and see what's going on."
Lord Kong looked at the people around Commander Bai. Zhou Weiguo was a colonel, Xiao Ya was a major, and the other two were captains of the division. He didn't know whether he should say it or not.
"Just tell me what you have to say. These people's brains have been washed by books and fighting for power since they were young. Maybe they can do things that you can't do. Besides, the person who can enter this mansion is not an ordinary person."
Yu Huohuo was a straightforward person and he was the old man's favorite, so even though he was only a lieutenant general, there were very few people in the army he didn't dare to speak to. Of course, he didn't dare to speak to those old generals during the Northern Expedition for fear of being beaten.
It's useless to beat him. For example, if Commander Bai in front of you really beats you up, you will probably get beaten up again if you go to complain. He has 300,000 Gui troops who obey him directly. The old man can only win over but dare not confront him head-on.
"By the way, what did you mean by yelling that they were going too far? You are the richest person in our mountain city. Who can bully you?" Yu Huohuo spoke like pouring beans.
Officer Bai knocked on the table. Yu Huohuo stopped talking for a moment. But his eyes were still fixed on Lord Kong.
What I mean is, if you can’t explain yourself today, I won’t let you go.
Xiao Ya realized that it was really boring to sit and talk like this, so she said, "Sir, I'll go get some dishes, how about you guys eat while we talk."
The best way to talk about things is over a table. Officer Bai smiled calmly and said to her, "My wife has long said that you, Xiao Ya, are excellent cooks, but I never had the chance to enjoy them before. Today, it seems like I'll have a treat."
Xiao Ya smiled and turned to leave. Fortunately, the people present had similar tastes, but this was a mountain city after all, so she prepared two more spicy dishes. When the food was ready, she, Chao Xiang, Xiu Ling and the other two put the dishes on the table and prepared to leave.
Officer Bai glanced at them and pointed at the table. "Everyone, sit down and eat together. And listen to what's going on."
Several people sat down accordingly. The adjutant poured the drinks. Officer Bai then looked at Lord Kong and asked, "What's going on?"
Hey……
Lord Kong pointed to the north and said in frustration, "It's still the north. Those people are such bastards."
