Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Chapter 816: Qualifications are insufficient, military rank is used to make up for it

This sentence silenced all three of them.

After a while, Commander Bai reached for the teacup on the table. "Whether we win or lose, we're all losers. It's really that serious."

He thought that this matter would be very serious, but he never thought that whether he won or lost, it would be considered a loss for Shancheng.

"Yes," Chaoxiang Xiuling leaned back lazily. "If we can't stop their attack, it's very likely that Britain, North Korea, and the Soviet Union will unite to attack our mountain city and divide us up, just like Poland did before, forming a buffer zone between their respective regions."

"This possibility is very high. Britain has always intended to lay its hands on our snowy plateau, but it has suppressed this matter in order to maintain the interests of all parties. If we can't stop their attack, we will most likely be divided up by them, and we will be powerless to stop it." Zhou Weiguo drank the tea in a few big gulps.

His mouth felt dry.

Xiao Ya took over the conversation; "What good does it do if we block them? This is a showdown between the two military forces. If they lose, it is very likely that their base camp will be directly awakened. They will most likely make a very conservative plan next, and may even engage in a war of attrition with us. Then..."

"We can't win, and we can't lose either. What should we do?" Commander Bai frowned.

"The best option is to maintain the current situation or allow the Japanese army to launch another attack on British colonies."

"I'm afraid this won't be easy. After all..." Commander Bai didn't finish his words. He glanced at Zhou Weiguo and the others. "We didn't have time to do the things we didn't have time to do before. Now, we should have time. Is three months enough?"

The three of them looked at Commander Bai at the same time.

Commander Bai glanced at them and said, "At this point, the only way to reverse the situation is to start a war with the United States. This war against them must be initiated by Berlin, regardless of whether the Japanese army participates at that time. If we win, they will initiate another war with Britain."

Several people exchanged glances, and Commander Bai stood up after seeing this. "Okay, I'll go write the document. It will be convenient for discussion at the headquarters."

At the headquarters, the news that the Japanese army was gathering supplies to prepare for a decisive battle undoubtedly exploded like a bomb in everyone's head.

Senior military and political officers from both sides sat in the old man's house to discuss what to do next.

Director Zhou, dressed in a lieutenant general's uniform, took a sip of tea. "Success or failure is disadvantageous to us. I'm afraid we need to alleviate this problem from the outside."

Commander Bai echoed, "I agree with you on this matter. Whether we stop their attack or not, we'll suffer."

"If we win, it will attract the infiltration of other countries and divide up the country. If we lose, we lose. Even if we are half dead, we can only block their attack and pull their main force to our side, which will consume our military strength."

No matter what, it's a dead end.

"Damn it," the old man sitting at the head cursed, then asked, "Given our military strength, can we launch a counterattack now?"

"No," General Zhang shook his head. "Since the war began, although we've taken advantage of opportunities to obtain a lot of aid supplies and production equipment from various countries, due to our mountain city's backward national defense and military technology and insufficient resources, we are currently only strong on the surface."

"It's a paper tiger. It looks scary, but it can only scare people for a while."

The commander of the Third War Zone gave a bitter smile. "Although we received tank support, we were able to use very few of them. The coordination between infantry and artillery was abysmal. The troops relied too heavily on tanks in the offensive. For several months, we were unable to achieve true tank coordination."

Commander Li of the Fifth War Zone put down his teacup. "There are also significant differences in rations among the various units. We haven't yet achieved a truly unified distribution of firearms."

The old man glanced at him. He couldn't do this, and there was no way he could do it. Making such a big concession to the Gui army was already his bottom line. He couldn't possibly make more concessions to the Sichuan Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

In the interest of national justice, he can make concessions again and again, but it cannot be said that he has no bottom line.

"Although our Air Force currently possesses over 900 fighters and 400 bombers, there are too few pilots capable of actually taking off and engaging in combat. All of these combat forces cannot participate in the war."

The old man was buzzing with questions. He leaned back in his chair with a frown. "Only by integrating with the other side can we break through."

Commander Bai flipped open the documents on the table. "Everyone, take a look at this."

He had asked Adjutant Li to make several copies.

"This is indeed the best way, but is it enough in three months?" the old man asked after reading the document.

"It will take them at least three months to prepare supplies and half a month to mobilize troops. If we can hold them off for a month or two, six months, I think it will be enough to complete this plan. I personally suggest that Zhou Weiguo be allowed to fully carry out this matter. After all, he has close ties with Guderian, Dönitz, and others in Berlin. Last time, if it weren't for the sudden attack by the Japanese, we would still have implemented this plan."

Several people who had come into contact with Zhou Weiguo all thought he was the most suitable person to handle this matter. Fatty Kong, who was also involved in the matter, tentatively asked, "He's only a major general. Taking full responsibility isn't too low a position, considering he'll be dealing with high-ranking officials. Also, whether special funds will be allocated specifically for this purpose, he might need them, perhaps to build connections."

You can't spend other people's money.

The old man lowered his head and pondered for a moment before asking, "Given his military achievements and contributions to our mountain city, he's definitely worthy of a promotion. Promote Qi to Lieutenant General, and the others, Xiao Ya, Chao Xiang Xiu Ling, and others, to a higher rank. This will make it easier for them to do their work."

Wow……

Chao Xiang Xiuling opened the box. The colonel rank inside made her eyes widen and her gaze fell on Xiao Ya's box; "Sister, yours is..."

Commander Bai glanced at Asaka Hideki and said, "Everyone has been promoted. Everyone in the Independent Regiment has also been promoted one level. After all, with your combat capabilities, you should have been promoted long ago, but you just haven't had the right opportunity. This time, I'll do it for you."

Zhou Weiguo looked at the box in his hand, then closed it and looked at Commander Bai; "Commander, is it time to execute this plan again?"

Commander Bai nodded. "Yes, from now on, we only have less than six months, so you must hurry, and we will buy you time. This is related to the life and death of our mountain city, I am afraid you must act immediately."

Zhou Weiguo hummed, "Sir, I'm afraid I'll need to transfer a few people from the Second Division."
