Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Chapter 878 What supplies do we need? This time we want territory

Winston stood up and walked to the window. After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "The Canadian fleet is no longer necessary. Tell Wilder to find a reason to hand it over to Berlin."

Since Watsonton wants to play dirty tricks on me, I can also play dirty tricks on them.

"The fleet alone may not be enough to reassure Berlin. Prime Minister, I suggest that several industrial zones, aircraft manufacturing plants, and mining areas be ceded to Berlin. At the same time, the local troops should surrender to Berlin again to strengthen Berlin's military presence there. Furthermore, we need to increase our forces in Southeast Asia and South Asia to slow the Japanese advance, forcing them to hit a wall there and recalibrate our overall plan."

After George finished speaking, Johnson took over. "I agree with Mr. Smith. We can quickly deploy troops from Central and West Asia. Furthermore, from the battles of Malacca and Rangoon, we clearly saw that our army's combat effectiveness is seriously insufficient. Therefore, we need external assistance, and that external assistance is Shancheng."

Winston nodded. "You're right. We need the powerful forces of Shancheng to help us stabilize the war situation. By the way, the negotiations with Shancheng are finally concluded."

"Not yet, but Prime Minister, we need to negotiate quickly to get their troops in. According to intelligence, the Japanese 4th and 55th Divisions have already landed in Rangoon and are likely to launch a new round of attacks. Furthermore, the Japanese 14th Division and the Imperial Guards Brigade of the North China Front are also on their way. The situation is very unfavorable for us."

Hey……

Winston thought of this powerful military force, looked at the two men and asked blankly; "Why don't they have resources?"

There was no way to respond to this. The two looked at each other and understood what Winston meant. If the mountain city had resources, the Japanese army would not target the empire's colonies.

"Tell them to reach an agreement with Shancheng as soon as possible. As long as they don't go too far, we can agree to it."

In Kunming, at the headquarters of the expedition against Burma, Zhou Weiguo carefully looked through the defense contract brought by Chao Xiang Xiuling.

Commander Bai waited until he closed the document and said, "The content added to these agreements was found by Xiao Ya from the Japanese Army's inventory of supplies. They are items that our army urgently needs. Look, is there anything that can be added?"

Zhou Weiguo silently took out a cigarette and looked at the officers sitting there for a while before saying, "My lords, I have a suggestion that I'm not sure if I should share."

"The reason we asked you to come here is so you can speak freely," Commander Long added after looking at Zhou Weiguo. "Could it be that you were asked to come here just to show them the documents?"

Commander Bai also nodded. "Just tell me what you have to say."

"The situation has changed. This document is no longer suitable. Or rather, it is still suitable for our joint defense plan, but we need to add new conditions."

Add new conditions?

Chao Xiang Xiuling, who had come with her, lowered her head and thought for a long time before saying, "Boss, I have carefully discussed everything that needs to be considered with the officers. The supplies we need, whether it's medicine or other things, are all written down above."

She felt a little unsure of herself, and then she opened the document and read it carefully. "Anything else to add? We can't possibly need weapons again."

"No, we want territory."

"Land...land?" Commander Bai's face twitched as he stared at Zhou Weiguo. "What are you talking about? We should just ask them for the land. That's fine."

"Sir, things have changed. The moment Watsonton used civilian activities to build the southern railway for the Japanese army, London already knew what Watsonton's plan was. If my analysis is correct, they will definitely withdraw a large number of troops from Central Asia and West Asia to deploy in South Asia and Southeast Asia. But they also need to consider one thing, that is, their military combat capability. They don't have many troops in Southeast Asia now, and with the help of the Buddhist country, they are making rapid progress. They even plan to abandon Southeast Asia. In this case, why don't we propose to cede part of Burma to us?"

"Is this feasible?" You know what, Commander Bai was tempted, and even several people present were tempted.

Zhou Weiguo took a deep breath. "They need us, and they're also planning to retreat. After all, no matter who they are, if it's not their own property, I'm afraid few will sincerely help. Even if they give us food and drink, if these things belong to us, that's another matter. We would definitely not let them take them away at all costs. If London wants us to help, they must show enough sincerity, and the best sincerity is to give us space."

"That makes sense. No matter how much material aid is provided to us, the ones who die in battle are still our soldiers. We travel thousands of miles to fight for these supplies, but we are actually defending others. So, we have indeed suffered a great loss. But if this place originally belonged to us, then even if we fight to the death, we still have a reason. At the very least, this is our place. There is a big difference between dying on the battlefield to defend our own territory and dying on the battlefield to help others."

"The question is, will the other party agree?" Commander Long put down his teacup and asked Commander Bai.

Chief of Staff Luo smiled and said, "Everything depends on human effort. And according to Weiguo, if they understand the combat effectiveness of their own army, they will need our assistance even more. Otherwise, they may not be able to stop the Japanese attack in this war. If they can't stop it, the Japanese may attack them, and then it will be difficult for them to deal with it."

"At this time, he needs us to contain the Japanese army even more, so agreeing to our conditions is their best option."

"You're right, but there's a problem. If they deploy a large force and stop the Japanese, what will we do? After all, their combat effectiveness may not be very good, but they are equipped with a large number of tanks and armored vehicles. Even if the Japanese are brave and good at fighting, they can't advance as usual in the face of such a large mechanized force. Moreover, the headquarters' intention is to collect cash to ensure the security of the southwest. If we ask them to give us a piece of land at this time, will this inspire their fighting spirit and stop providing us with assistance? If so, then we will lose more than we gain."

"Commander Long, this is not a big problem and it is actually very easy to solve." Zhou Weiguo looked up and said.

Not a big problem?

Commander Long glanced at him and asked, "Tell me what you think."
