Crossing the spy war, my code name is God of Wealth

Chapter 728 Good News and Bad News

"Attack Zhongtiao Mountain?" Boss Dai's expression suddenly changed.

As the leader of the Military Control Commission, Boss Dai's professional talents cannot be reflected in military affairs.

However, his control over battlefield situations and analysis of various intelligence are absolutely at the master level.

The importance of Zhongtiao Mountain to the mountain city is self-evident.

This is the last stabilizer of the gateway to North China. Occupying Zhongtiao Mountain is equivalent to inserting a beam into North China.

The National Government could rely on him to curb the North China Front Army's ambitions to take over Shanxi.

If the North China Front Army wanted to set its sights on Luoyang, they would have to occupy Zhongtiao Mountain.

Not only them, even Yoshio Shinozuka who was stationed in Shanxi Jinnai was eyeing Zhongtiao Mountain.

It started since Shanxi was conquered by Yoshio Shinozuka in 1938.

The North China Front Army tried several times to join forces with Yoshio Shinozuka to capture Zhongtiao Mountain, but failed every time.

Now, the commander guarding this place is the commander-in-chief most favored by the superiors.

Everyone knows that the superiors love Commander Du, but Commander Wei is equally loved by the superiors.

In order to ensure the safety of Zhongtiao Mountain, the former guard commander withdrew the troops deployed along the Yellow River back to Zhongtiao Mountain.

It is even called the "back-to-the-water formation" in the art of war.

As a result, most of the forces along the Yellow River were incorporated into the Red Party, the base area was repeatedly expanded, and there was a tendency for it to control North China.

It can be said that Commander Wei's retreat gave the Red Party a great chance of survival and allowed them to calmly plan a major raid.

But even though such a serious mistake was made, the superiors never said a harsh word to him.

Even the telegrams of rebuke sent were so weak.

If it were Boss Dai, he would probably get several big pockets.

He is my trusted and beloved general, Boss Dai, but he is just a knife...

After taking the information from Zheng Jiemin, Boss Dai read it carefully, put it down, and his brows were instantly frowned.

"The message from Caishen did not mention which unit would launch an attack on Zhongtiao Mountain."

"Is there any secret here that the God of Wealth doesn't know?"

Zheng Jiemin replied respectfully: "Director, this is not a question of the God of Wealth."

"The God of Wealth is responsible for the transportation of supplies. It is not within his job scope to decide which troops to call for the attack."

"But judging from the current situation in North China, the most likely scenario is that the North China Front Army will lead the attack."

"However, what's interesting is that Tada Shun is currently carrying out a battle plan to purge the Red Party, and his troops are still pieced together in a haphazard manner."

"He probably isn't brave enough to take action right now. Perhaps they are still waiting for an opportunity."

Boss Dai nodded slightly and said, "It's possible. The last time North China sent back intelligence, the main force of the Red Party retreated westward, and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army failed to stop them several times."

"Although it seems that we have gained a lot from the battle in North China, in fact, the Red Party has not suffered much loss."

"After the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army fell out with the Anti-Japanese Death Squad, Commander Han was already on guard."

"From now on, Boss Yan will have a hard time too."

Zheng Jiemin nodded and said, "After all, this is not what the higher-ups want to see the most."

"If the two groups don't fight, Shanxi will be like a piece of iron plate, and you can't get involved no matter what."

"Only if Boss Yan turns against the Red Party will we have a chance. Shanxi's 106 counties are full of members of the Sacrifice Alliance developed by the Red Party."

"Not to mention the new army, almost half of them are red."

"Boss Yan has been holding this grudge for a long time."

Boss Dai's expression eased a little, and he ordered, "The higher-ups are going to let them stir up trouble again regarding the Shanxi matter."

"As for Zhongtiao Mountain, Yaoquan, what suggestions do you have?"

Zheng Jiemin said seriously: "Based on the current situation, the war should not start for a while."

"The God of Wealth has also sent a piece of information. Please review it, Chief."

As he spoke, Zheng Jiemin took out the second piece of intelligence, which was about the Japanese army changing its combat plan and attacking the Philippines.

When Boss Dai saw this information, the gloom he had previously felt disappeared instantly, and he became excited at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Good, good, good. Now the southwest road is saved. Gu Yanming really lived up to everyone's expectations."

Zheng Jiemin said somewhat awkwardly: "Director, this matter really has little to do with Gu Yanming."

"He is still in the Shanghai Stock Exchange waiting for our decision on whether to continue with the Death Knell Project."

"Yaoquan, what do you mean by that?" Boss Dai was a little confused.

Zheng Jiemin explained: "General, the Japanese army changed its plan to attack Burma because they knew that there were a lot of gold and other resources hidden in the Philippines."

"According to the information obtained by Caishen, the value of these gold, silver, US dollars, and US bonds exceeds one billion US dollars."

"Originally, the Philippine government wanted to send these treasures to the United States for safekeeping in several batches."

"But somehow, the Japanese intelligence organization got the news."

"The latest batch of gold has been snatched away by some director of the Osaka Chamber of Commerce."

"The rest were also left in the country and no one knew what to do with them. After the Navy Department got the news, it immediately changed its operational plan."

"We need to prepare to attack Fei first and get these things first."

"One billion. Or US dollars?" Even an official of Boss Dai's level felt a little frightened when hearing this number.

If the Chinese government had this 10 billion gold treasure, it would have much more confidence in fighting against the Japanese.

You can buy many weapons you never thought of...

After thinking for a while, Boss Dai said in a deep voice: "Yaoquan, notify Gu Yanming to stop the Death Knell Project."

"But there is still one thing he needs to do."

"Now that the Japanese are not attacking Burma anymore, he should implement the weapons aid that was previously agreed with the British as soon as possible."

Zheng Jiemin was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Director, the Japanese stopped attacking Burma not because our plan was successful."

"I'm afraid the British will regret it after receiving the news."

Boss Dai glared at him and said angrily, "Why do you regret it? If we didn't have an agreement with them, why would Shancheng spend a lot of money to rent planes and pilots from the Americans?"

"Shancheng was willing to spend such a huge amount of money just to help them keep Burma. Now that the matter is done, they want to go back on their word?"

"No matter whether it was because of our plan or some other reason, it is a reality that the Japanese army changed its battle plan."

"Tell Gu Yanming to get aid from the British at all costs. Otherwise, we will suffer a huge loss."

"Yes, Chief, I'll do it right away." Zheng Jiemin saluted.

Boss Dai nodded, and then seemed to remember something, and said in a gentle voice: "Let Gu Yanming do it with some effort."

"When the matter is done and he comes back, I will recommend him to the Military Commission for merit..."
