Chapter 489: Watching a show is better than joining in
These four people can really cause trouble.
He dared to extend his hand without caring whether he could carry the burden or not.
"Don't be sour. We don't want to interfere in this matter. This is what Commander Bai meant. As the saying goes, a higher-ranking official can crush a person. He is several levels higher than me. How dare I refute him?" Zhou Weiguo put down the teacup in his hand and knocked on the table. "Tell me what you can do."
"Haven't you found a solution? Why are you asking me?" Takeshita Shun took out another cigarette. Really, he had never encountered such a troublesome person.
Zhao Xiang Xiuling sat on a high stool, swinging her feet and asked with a hum, "You mean Ruth? She is indeed a direction, but we just thought about it and it seems that she doesn't have such great ability."
Takeshita Shun glanced at her and tried to suppress his inner frustration while knocking on the table; "That was in the past, but now, maybe she has such ability."
"How do you mean?" Fang Shengli was confused, but that didn't stop him from asking the question.
Takeshita Shun put out the cigarette he had just smoked twice and said to the crowd, "Don't you understand? Western countries can allow Tokyo to attack Yamashiro and gain benefits, but they will never allow Tokyo to occupy this place completely. Once occupied, these people will probably not be able to sleep well."
Zhou Weiguo understood that this was actually the same as the situation in the North, except that the North would be directly affected, and they would be indirectly affected. But no matter which aspect, they could not see it.
He looked up at the gray ceiling for a moment and made a decision: "It seems that we should go to Shanghai."
"Where is he? Where did he go?" In Kaifeng, at the headquarters of the 14th Division, when General Okamura Yasuji saw Nanzō Yūko coming in, he stood up and asked Nanzō Yūko with his eyes fixed before she even came to him.
Five days ago, the North Front Command called and asked him to command the 14th Division and the Chahar Detachment to attack the First War Zone and contain the enemy's First War Zone forces. He was not clear about the order at that time.
Later, he inquired around and got the news.
The offensive of the Ninth War Zone was at a stalemate, while the situation in Jiangnan was stable. In view of the stable situation, Ueda Kaneyoshi of the 11th Army reported to the Central China Front Command and restarted the plan to force the Yamashiro Army into a decisive battle in the west of Wuhan.
Except for the 11th Division, the 13th Division and the Hata Detachment to contain the forces of the Ninth War Zone, the rest of the 104th Army was deployed to the Battle of Wuhan West. Their mission was to contain the forces of the First War Zone while attacking in the direction of Luoyang and monitoring the enemy's 14th Corps in the Second War Zone.
He, Yamadajima and Nanzō Yunko felt something was wrong with this order. The Ninth Theater was not without offensive capabilities. After all, it was composed mainly of the elite First Corps of the Central Army, including the 5th, 74th and the temporary 11th Division that obtained weapons from the north. They were all elite among the elite, not to mention the rest of the troops.
The 74th Army was resting and the 5th Army also entered Hunan for rest after the Battle of Wuhan. Without using these two main forces, it is unrealistic to say that the Ninth War Zone changed its offensive strength to defensive strength.
But at the same time, the Ninth War Zone's attack was intended to disrupt the decisive battle west of Wuhan. Since this goal was not achieved, they could not not attack. The only explanation is that they have found a second plan.
It just so happened that the war zone commander had met Zhou Weiguo, and everything might have something to do with Zhou Weiguo.
"He left Changsha a few days ago, and it's not clear where he went." Nanzō Yunko came up to him.
"I'm afraid the plan for the Wuhan West campaign will be ruined again." Okamura Neiji smiled bitterly as he came to the map and said to Yamadajima and Nanzō Yunko beside him, "He was too impatient. The convergence of the leading forces of the north and south in the Henan battle blurred his eyes and made his judgment problematic. At this time, the best way is to annihilate the main force in the Ninth War Zone first, and then fight the decisive battle in Wuhan West. He got the order wrong."
Yamadajima put his hands behind his back and looked at the map and asked, "Do we need to be reminded?"
remind?
Okamura Neiji sighed and closed his eyes. "I'm afraid he won't listen to anyone's reminders now."
Nanzō Yunko thought for a moment and said, "We cannot estimate the battle on the southern front, but the Central China Front's restart of the Wuhan West decisive battle plan is also good for us. The mountain city will definitely mobilize troops to intercept. What we have to do now is to take advantage of this situation, expand the results of the battle, and seek the greatest benefit for ourselves. This is also a way for the general to gain recognition from above."
Okamura Neiji failed to command the troops to break through the defense line, which left a bad impression on the headquarters. Now, since it is known that this thing is going to be destroyed, let him destroy it, and maximize the benefits here.
Okamura Neiji opened his closed eyes slightly and hummed, "At this point, this is the only way."
In an independent apartment in the west of the American Concession in Shanghai, Zhou Weiguo, wearing a suit, dragged a stool and looked at Ruth; "So, you are actually considering disrupting the Japanese army's battle west of Wuhan."
Zhou Weiguo arrived here yesterday evening. After a long journey, he, Xiao Ya and Chao Xiang Xiuling washed up and rested at Ruth's house. This morning, Ruth had to go to the consulate to work, so she came back and brought some food with her.
"Yes, this is what Robert told me three days ago. We received an urgent secret message from the mainland, asking us to stop the Japanese army from launching the Wuhan West Battle against you, because we don't want them to consume your main force and thus completely occupy you." Ruth explained the situation while setting the table.
Xiao Ya handed the chopsticks to Zhou Weiguo and said, "Awen, it seems that Takeshita Shun's analysis is correct. In order to protect their own interests, European countries will not allow the Japanese army to do this."
"So, we don't need to do anything, after all, they will take action?" Chaoxiang Xiuling also spoke from the side.
Zhou Weiguo shook his head. "No matter what, they can't really send troops to intervene. It's just some verbal warnings. This method is not painful. The Japanese army will not pay attention. Besides, even if they do what you want, they will intervene. But I will still take action."
Xiao Ya and Zhao Xiang Xiuling didn't understand Zhou Weiguo's plan.
Ruth was also very confused. The three women all looked at Zhou Weiguo.
Zhou Weiguo wiped the chopsticks and said to Xiaodong, "I don't understand. It's just a joke. It's more exciting than joining in."
Ruth almost dropped the chopsticks in her hand. From the sound of it, it seemed that the man in front of her wanted to drag the empire into this war.
"You... you want to drag them down with you." Chao Xiang Xiuling also understood. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head; "It's difficult, it's too difficult. The other party is not a fool, how could they possibly follow our wishes."
