Chapter 957 I hate you, but I'm willing to admit defeat to you
Some people will have problems?
Gangcun didn't understand, and even the people present didn't understand.
Xiao Ya, who was drinking, thought of something and said to Zhou Weiguo, who was sitting next to her, "Awen, you mean to launch a few attacks in the Fog City, right?"
Zhou Weiguo did have this in mind. He nodded and said, "Since the people in Tokyo have such a request, then it is only right for us to help them. In addition to benevolence and righteousness, our mountain city also has another principle: a willingness to help others."
Tut tut...
Gangcun, who was eating boiled fish, clicked his tongue several times. "Mr. Zhou, I have to say, I've seen many shameless people, but you are definitely the first one who has the audacity to do bad things and still flatter yourself."
"Thank you for the compliment." Zhou Weiguo bowed and looked at Gangcun. "By the way, Mr. Gangcun, do you think we should take this action?"
Gangcun coughed and said, "We are just a business partner, not a family. So please be careful with your words. Please use 'you'."
"What's the difference? As an enemy, you sit with us to eat and discuss things. What difference does it make?" Chaoxiang Xiuling narrowed her eyes and hummed. "Don't say useless things. Just tell me what you think."
Gangcun put down his chopsticks and shook his head. "I don't think it's necessary. If you hadn't allowed the Berlin Air Force to bomb Berlin that day, your normal actions wouldn't have had any impact, unless you used poison gas bombs. However, using poison gas bombs would mean that our great Empire and Britain would become mortal enemies, and the two sides would truly fight to the death. I think, judging by your current methods, you don't intend to make it a true mortal feud, but simply to prevent them from having a chance to negotiate a private peace, right?"
Zhou Weiguo looked Gangcun up and down, and Gangcun noticed the flash of murderous intent in his eyes. He waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhou, don't treat me as an enemy. You should treat me as a friend. The entire empire may be your enemy, but I am not. Therefore, there is no need to kill me. I, and even our entire division, love money and hate war. Of course, we will also take advantage of the situation to rob, but I don't think you are our target yet."
"Smart guy." Zhou Weiguo gave a thumbs-up and raised his wine glass. "So, Terauchi Juichi authorized you to come here."
Gangcun didn't deny it. "More or less. After all, his orders were to use this incident to quickly defeat the British defenses in South Asia. After occupying Delhi, he would split his forces in two, one attacking north and the other south. He doesn't want to have any disputes with you at this time, so he hopes for a war between us that isn't a war. We can make some concessions and even leave some supplies for you on the battlefield."
He stood up and walked to the map. Zhao Shoutian next to him immediately took the command stick in his hand. When he saw Gangcun reaching out his hand, he habitually handed the command stick to Gangcun.
After taking over the command baton, Gangcun's aura instantly changed from a businessman to a brigade commander.
He pointed back and forth at several places on the military deployment map of both sides; "We are all friends, and I don't want to bargain with you. We can divide this area for you, but after this, we can't retreat, so..."
Zhou Weiguo folded his arms and looked at it for a while, then turned to ask Xiao Ya, "What does Commander Bai think?"
"We will make the decision and report the situation, and he will mobilize troops to cooperate."
In other words, Commander Bai is just a hands-off boss this time.
Zhou Weiguo looked at the map without saying anything. Instead, he turned to Fang Shengli, who had come with him, and asked, "Old Fang, do you have any suggestions?"
"I." Fang Shengli pointed at himself and shook his head. "I don't have any good suggestions. Instead of asking me, you might as well ask Xiao Ya and Xiu Ling. I'm far from their level when it comes to planning and scheming."
Commander Shang Shengli thought he was okay, but when it came to calculations, he unfortunately didn't have the ability. When he and Zhou Weiguo were in the military school together, he paid serious attention to this point. Later, under Shen Xin's advice, he always remembered that it didn't matter if he had no ability, he just had to follow capable people.
He made the right bet. Among the people in that dormitory and even among the entire group of students, except for those who died on the battlefield, he and Zhou Weiguo had the highest military ranks. He was already a major general and Lao Zhou was a lieutenant general. What was there to be dissatisfied with?
Asaka Hiderei took a sip of her wine and approached the map. She pointed at it and said, "Since we can't break through your defenses, I suggest setting up three blockades. We'll then attack the first and second. If we can't break through the third, you'll seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack and advance your troops into our controlled area, north of Mandalay. Indeed, if necessary, we can even give you Mandalay."
Gangcun stared at Chaoxiang Xiuling with wide eyes. After a while, he said, "If I didn't know that you were Zhou Jun's right-hand man, I would even suspect that you were a spy planted by the Empire to be with him. How could you come up with such a suggestion?"
Seeing several people looking at him, he tapped the map and said, "In our business world, the loss you suffered is huge."
What are you thinking? It's obvious that this method won't be approved by the higher-ups. Even as the commander of the mountain city, I will never do such a thankless thing.
"It's indeed a loss." Fang Shengli also nodded repeatedly in agreement with Gangcun's words.
The purpose is just to make the Fog City think that it is not that the Mountain City army is unwilling to help, but that they really cannot win. This is actually a problem that can be solved in a few battles or if a few armies deliberately lose their combat effectiveness. There is no need to make such a big sacrifice and actually give up the place of Mandalay.
Zhou Weiguo took out a cigarette, and Xiao Ya immediately took out a diamond-studded lighter to light it for him, then stood beside him and analyzed it carefully.
"Xiu Ling." Zhou Weiguo turned his head and called out after smoking half of his cigarette.
Chaoxiang Xiuling, who had returned to her seat to pour wine, raised her head slightly and hummed, "I'm here, what's wrong?"
Zhou Weiguo beckoned her over and asked, "Why do you have such a plan? If you do this, our side will indeed suffer the most."
Chaoxiang Xiuling hummed. "From a short-term perspective, we are indeed at a disadvantage, but from a long-term perspective, we will only gain advantages, not suffer any losses."
What do you say?
