Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Chapter 864 It’s all your fault, Xiao Ya

"There's a consequence here that they can't afford."

My chief of staff became interested and asked, "What are the consequences?"

"Southeast Asia and South Asia have abundant resources, which my Mountain City does not have. If they obtain these resources, they will definitely expand the war, and then my Mountain City will be attacked by them. But similarly, Watsonton cannot expect to live in peace, not to mention that Berlin's army is still beside them. So no matter what, Watsonton has this idea, but they will not do it. The only way is to feed us and raise us up, posing a threat to Tokyo, forcing Tokyo to make a choice: either give up or strengthen its troops to fight us."

"They actually have another choice."

At the same time, at the Third Fleet Command, Xiao Ya and Hase Kiyoshi were also considering this issue.

Facing Hase Qing's words which were not much different from Zhou Weiguo's, Xiao Ya turned sideways and proposed another plan.

"You mean they normalize with Berlin and us, without giving resources to either side, right?"

"Yes." Xiao Ya picked up the teacup and took a sip before smiling. "This is also one of the methods, and it's a very effective one."

"A country controlled by businessmen is driven by profit. They can't afford to give up arms trafficking and sacrifice their own interests. Furthermore, temporary normalization doesn't guarantee permanent normalization. Don't forget, Berlin has a grudge against Washington, and we have a grudge against them, too. They won't do that."

Xiao Ya nodded in agreement and fell into deep thought.

"What are you thinking about?" Seeing Xiao Ya stopped talking, Chang Gu Qing asked.

Xiao Ya stood up, paced back and forth in the room a few times, then turned to Hase Kiyoshi and said, "I'm thinking, if that's the case, then you can launch a new round of attacks in Southeast Asia, such as against Burma, to test the enemy's true intentions. This is first and foremost, and secondly, it puts the initiative in the hands of the Third Fleet. Only in this way can the officers and soldiers of the Third Fleet, as well as the Marines, preserve their true interests and prevent this lucrative opportunity from falling into the hands of others."

Hasegawa Kiyoshi came over to the nautical chart and examined it for a while. "You do have a point. We can kill two birds with one stone. I will call a military meeting immediately. But how can we find a reason to start another war?"

"If you want to start a war, you can find any excuse. A ship sinking, a merchant being robbed, even a dead pig can be the fuse of a war." Xiao Ya smiled at Chang Guqing; "War without declaration, this is not something you do often."

An unprepared battle broke out three days later. The reason was that a gunboat of the Third Fleet disappeared while patrolling at the border between the two sides. The First Squadron of the Third Fleet wanted to go to the port to search, but was intercepted by the Eastern Division of the British South Asia Fleet. Fierce exchanges of fire broke out between the two sides. Not long afterward, the aviation combat aircraft group on the Kazuru aircraft carrier began to attack and bomb the other side's port.

"Which batch is this?" On the bridge of the battleship Fuso, Xiao Ya used a telescope to look at the group of fighter jets taking off in the distance, then turned to ask Takahashi Kazu beside her.

Takahashi bowed slightly. "Madam, this is the third wave. Fuso, Hiei, and several cruisers will proceed to the harbor to bombard them, buying time for our Marines to land. Madam, we are about to reach the battlefield. Please return to the command tower first. It's not safe here."

The coastline gradually appearing in the distance made Xiao Ya nod and turn to enter the command tower. She did not understand the navy's command method, so she just stood quietly beside Chang Qing and listened to Chang Qing mobilizing the fleet to fight.

"That's all." Hasegawa Qing motioned for everyone to get ready, then took Xiao Ya to the adjacent office. Sitting on a chair with extra grips, Hasegawa Qing lit a cigarette and asked, "Xiao Ya, do you have anything to add?"

"I..." Xiao Ya was surprised for a moment, then shook her head. "I don't know anything about the Navy, so I won't show off my knowledge here and affect your judgment. However, I do have some suggestions for the Marine Corps. It's up to you..."

"Tell me, when have I ever refused something you said?"

Xiao Ya pondered for a moment and then said, "Myanmar is not Malacca. We launched a frenzied massacre in Malacca because it was remote and we could do whatever we wanted. But Myanmar is different. It's a continental country, and any action will affect its international reputation. Moreover, you will need to obtain a large amount of supplies from here in the future. Therefore, we can rob, but we absolutely cannot attack the civilians like the army did. However, we can attack foreigners and merchants. The reason is simple: we are avenging the local people who have been oppressed by them. We must be careful not to be hypocritical."

"We need a villain, but this villain cannot be our navy, but the army idiots, such as the Nakamura Brigade of the 18th Division or the th Division currently stationed in the direction of Malacca. They can all be scapegoats in this regard."

"The Marines have gone crazy. I'm afraid this is going to be difficult to handle." Hase Kiyoshi rubbed his head with a headache. The more he thought about it, the more disappointed he became. He pointed at Xiao Ya and said, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't nurtured their ambitions in the first place, how could this situation have happened?"

"It was Takeshita Shun who did it. It has nothing to do with me. Don't talk nonsense." Xiao Ya touched her nose. "I just made a small suggestion. As for the rest, I didn't do anything."

Ah, cut...

In Hengyang, Takeshita Shun, who was taking a nap on a lounge chair, sneezed and touched his nose. Then he pulled the blanket next to him over himself and muttered, "Who is saying bad things about me?"

"As the chief of staff of an independent brigade and captain of a small team, you are such a ferocious person, who would dare to say anything bad about you?" Zhou Weiguo, who was playing chess with Fang Shengli, turned his head and looked at him.

Fang Shengli interrupted, "Ugly people are often mischievous. Only Kobayashi Keiko treats him like a treasure. Look at his big head."

"You want to practice with me, right?" Takeshita Shun opened his eyes, grabbed a samurai sword from the side, and asked with narrowed eyes.

Fang Shengli fiddled with the chess piece in his hand for a moment; "If you have the guts, come with me to the brothel today."

This Takeshita Shun really didn't dare. He snorted and said, "You sound like you dare to go."

"What's going on with you three?" Xiao Ye asked, swaying in front of the three men with a cigarette in his mouth. Fang Shengli was about to speak when Xiao Ye raised his hand to stop him. "Among the four of us, you've made the least contribution. You have no right to speak."

After leaving these heartbreaking words behind, he turned to look at Takeshita Shun, who looked like an old man. "Why are you still here?"
