Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Chapter 1167 Big Trouble

The figure of 500,000 British troops is definitely an exaggeration.

Even if they exist, their combat strength remains unknown.

After so many years of Li Shijie being the top British soldier, the British no longer see anyone else as a threat.

Their training was extremely lax. They lacked even the necessary vigilance.

With Kowloon and Burma occupied, the British forces in South Asia should have been prepared for battle, but their defenses were truly unimaginable.

They were completely unable to stop the Japanese army's attack.

Zhou Weiguo wanted to prepare in advance in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

Commander Bai put down his wine glass and glanced out the window; "The General Staff has already taken this into consideration."

My plan was submitted a long time ago.

The plan has been approved by those above.

"Then should I go there immediately?" Zhou Weiguo asked. Advance preparation can ensure the plan goes smoothly.

General Zhang waved his hand and smiled, "This matter is not urgent for now."

Seeing that Zhou Weiguo did not understand his meaning, General Zhang smiled and said, "Let's see how the British army reacts first."

The news that the two armies were attacking from different directions quickly reached London.

Winston, who was having lunch, read the telegram and immediately sent for Defense Secretary Wilson.

“They’re attacking from multiple directions, clearly aiming to control more territory so they can begin their plan to win over Watson.” Winston cut a piece of steak and put it in his mouth. “This battle is bound to be incredibly fierce. In your opinion, can we hold them off?”

Wilson put down his knife and fork, glanced at Winston, and said seriously, “Your Excellency, we have no choice. If we cannot contain their offensive, then the United States will inevitably have to make adjustments.”

As for the direction of the adjustment, he doesn't need to repeat it; the prime minister in front of him should understand what it means.

“Our purpose in letting them join forces was to have them attack the United States together, not to have them bring Watson into their camp.” Winston also put down his knife and fork; “Since we have tolerated their joining forces, we must naturally have the ability to stop their next plot.”

"But Your Excellency Prime Minister, if I may be so bold, with our military strength over there, I'm afraid we can't stop their attack. Do you think we need to regain control of the North Atlantic and cut off Berlin's connection with them?"

Will we regain control of the North Atlantic?

Winston thought for a moment, then got up and beckoned Wilson to come with him to the next room.

That's where the current area's combat map is located.

Approaching the chart, he turned to Wilson and said, "Tell me your thoughts."

Wilson approached the commander from the side; “Your Excellency, according to our analysis, neither Yamashiro nor the Northern Soviet Union will allow Watson to enter the Japanese camp. However, they have almost no way to deter him. Therefore, this heavy burden will mostly fall on our shoulders.”

Wilson pointed the command stick at the North Atlantic and circled it once. "Your Excellency, regaining control of the North Atlantic is to cut off their path and let the Americans know that we have sufficient capability and the ability to suppress them. This also tells them indirectly that although Berlin is exceptionally capable, without weapons assistance and domestic aid, their forces will only be depleted, not increased."

Winston did not object to Wilson. He looked at the map in front of him for a while and then said, "What you said is indeed correct, but what I want to tell you is that once we do this, the Washington side will likely find out that all of this was done on purpose to increase the degree of threat to their homeland from the enemy, and they will feel hatred and resentment towards us."

Resentment and hatred.

This was already there from the beginning. To be precise, it was there from the moment the Prime Minister ordered the North Atlantic to be cleared.

Watson has a think tank of thousands of people, but if one of them is an idiot, it's impossible for him to have an idiot in every single one of them.

There are some clever people among them.

“Your Excellency, there is an old saying in the mountain town: ‘Don’t do something you don’t want others to know.’ From the day we started this, we were destined to let them know.”

There are some things that everyone knows in their hearts, but no one says them out loud.

Winston's last hope was dashed by those words. After a moment's thought, he nodded. "Let's proceed as you say. Also, have the intelligence team keep a close eye on the US's actions. Meanwhile, inform the Canadians that the Empire's honor is at stake once again, and that they must hold back the Japanese and Berlin's offensive."

Saying it is one thing, but doing it is another.

When news of Britain regaining control of the Atlantic reached the mountain city, Zhou Weiguo was taking a nap with Asaka Shurei.

Ruth knocked on the door and came to Zhou Weiguo's side; "General, I just received news that the British forces have regained control of the North Atlantic."

Have they seized control?

Zhou Weiguo was dazed for a moment, then threw back the covers and sat up, asking, "What did you say?"

"The British Home Fleet has taken control of the North Atlantic today, and Berlin can no longer transport any supplies to the Canadian garrison."

Zhou Weiguo took a deep breath and casually slapped the coffee table next to him; "Cutting off the fuel supply would indeed make Berlin hesitate to act, but he will be facing Guderian."

Guderian was able to utilize blitzkrieg to its fullest potential, and he was also a general skilled at controlling people's hearts and minds.

He is better at turning weaknesses into strengths.

That's his charm.

Asaka Shurei lay on the bed and glanced at Zhou Weiguo; "This is a warning."

"It's a warning, of course," Zhou Weiguo said without denying it. "I know this is a warning from Britain to Berlin, and it's also telling Watson that they have the ability to take the initiative. However, Winston probably didn't expect that, in fact, there's another way to cut off the enemy's supply lines: there's a phrase called 'burning the boats.'"

You have extinguished the Berlin army's hopes, and these people will naturally take control of new areas under Guderian's leadership.

They intentionally lured Watson to their side, so his next attack will definitely be to the north.

"Damn it, this is what it means to do good deeds but end up doing bad things." Zhou Weiguo picked up his military uniform from the side and put it on.

Seeing that Asaka Shurei was about to get up, he stopped her; "I can go. You rest assured, it's snowing outside again."

I wonder when spring will finally arrive and the flowers will bloom.
