Chapter 961: Being courteous for nothing
Xiao Zhuge and Deng Yaoxian looked at each other, and then they both thought of a place at the same time.
North Su.
Today, several powerful countries are involved or indirectly involved in this war, but there is only one fish that has slipped through the net, and that is North Sudan.
Following Berlin's attack on Canada, the overall situation in North Russia was at its best. They were already undertaking another round of construction planning and producing a new batch of factory equipment. They had even begun selling weapons abroad.
The battles ahead were fought in mountains of blood and mountains of corpses, and they earned tears of pain.
Shancheng had finally made Watsonton, the money-making element, panic among the people, but it was not to make room for Beisu to sell arms.
If they want to sell it, they should go to Shancheng.
Of course, the mountain city does not have the conditions for this now, but it is only a matter of time.
"What are you going to do?" Little Zhuge put down his teacup. "With the unrest in Northern Soviet Union, his suspects are the Japanese and Berlin. We can't let them suspect either of them right now. You should understand why."
"Sir, I understand. Berlin wants to deal with Fog City and Watsonton, and Tokyo, while dealing with Fog City, will also indirectly help Berlin deal with Watsonton. If either of them arouses the suspicion of the North Soviet Union, then once the war breaks out, they will most likely stop fighting Watsonton."
"Yes, so if you want to make a fuss, at least you have to make one thing clear, that is, you can't let them suspect each other. Otherwise, if they are involved, it will cost us more to save the situation."
"I haven't made up my mind yet, but I believe Assef, Guderian, and the others also don't want the Northern Soviet Union to become too powerful. After all, their plan includes attacking the Northern Soviet Union. I think instead of pondering this alone here, it would be better to go to Berlin and discuss a proper solution with them to ease the delay of their development and pave the way for our next move."
"Sir, Awen is right. Right now, we are only fighting a seemingly brutal but actually very gentle battle with the Japanese. The overall situation is under our control. Once the battle situation stabilizes, the Japanese may launch an attack on us. At that time, we will need to fight the Japanese for real. It would be most appropriate to use this time to deal with this matter."
Xiao Ya echoed Zhou Weiguo's suggestion, while Chao Xiang Xiuling, Fang Shengli, and Minamizō Akiko all nodded in agreement.
Deng Yaoxian pondered for a moment and looked up and said, "Commander Bai, I think this plan is feasible. We can still move while we have time. If we fight the Japanese army, it will probably take more than half a year to determine the winner. By then, we won't be able to think so much.
Commander Bai paused for a moment and nodded. "Alright, in that case, I'll leave this matter to you. Hand it over to Fang Shengli and Takeshita Shun, and then select your own people to go over."
Commander Bai came here just for this matter. Now that he has understood the situation, he has no plans to stay here and returned to Mandalay that day. After discussing with everyone, Zhou Weiguo finally decided to take Chao Xiang Xiuling and Ruth with him.
This time it is a battle of strategy, so it is most appropriate to bring Chaoxiang Xiuling. In fact, it is most appropriate to bring Xiao Ya, but Xiao Ya has to assist Fang Shengli in coordinating the management of the independent brigade and indirectly manage local government affairs. She cannot leave. Minamizō Akiko has an advantage in deciphering telegrams and needs to stay in charge of the radio station. It is not appropriate for anyone else to go.
After arranging the personnel, Zhou Weiguo went to Mandalay at noon the next day, and then took a transport plane back to the mountain city. After buying some things in the mountain city, he detoured to Xi'an and flew from Xi'an to Ural City. Then he transferred to Moxico and rested for two days before flying directly to Berlin.
Everything was done in secret. Therefore, when Guderian, who was processing documents in his office, heard that Zhou Weiguo had arrived in Berlin, he looked at his adjutant in complete disbelief while studying the battle map. "Are you sure Zhou Weiguo has arrived?"
Zhou Weiguo's full name cannot be mentioned here to avoid causing trouble to Shancheng, so only his surname is used instead.
"Yes, it was Ruth who called. She invited the General to have dinner with her tonight."
Guderian nodded. "Tell them I'll be there tonight. Oh, and pack up all the books and paintings we got from Paris. I'll bring them to him tonight."
He learned from special channels that Shancheng and Zhou Weiguo were working hard to recover the treasures that were lost decades ago. This time when the empire entered Paris, it obtained a lot of books, calligraphy and paintings from the museum. At that time, he proposed to return these things to Shancheng so as to establish a good relationship with Shancheng. If necessary, he might ask Shancheng to do something for the empire.
Assef agreed to the suggestion and put him in charge.
"Wait a moment," Guderian said after a moment's hesitation. "Prepare some of the books, but don't touch the rest for now."
Giving it all at once and giving it in batches have different meanings. He understands the principle of steady and long-term benefits.
After Guderian instructed his adjutant to handle the matter, he personally called Assef. He needed to report the matter to Assef. After the incident last night, it was already dusk, and the adjutant was waiting in the car with what he needed.
Although Guderian had never been to the mountain city, he also liked the local food. After the vehicle entered the manor where Zhou Weiguo was, Guderian first exchanged a few words with Zhou Weiguo, and then signaled his adjutant to bring up the books and put them on the table.
"Zhou, we know you've been recovering books, antiques, calligraphy, and paintings that were once lost. We in Berlin are your friends, so we naturally take this matter to heart. After occupying Paris this time, we recovered some items, and we're in the process of recovering some more. I believe we'll find them for you soon." Guderian opened the box with a look of regret. "Unfortunately, some items are not complete. After analysis, we believe they may have been left somewhere else. Our relevant departments are investigating."
Looking at the box of books, Zhou Weiguo smiled with sincere gratitude and said, "Thank you for your help. Because of you, they have been living abroad for so many years and are finally able to return to the embrace of their own country."
You didn't give me anything last time you came, but you gave me these things this time. There must be some conspiracy. Be careful when you talk later, and don't let Guderian lead you astray.
