Chapter 842 Xiao Ya complains, you only care about yourself and not others
Really?
The Secretary of State just looked quietly at the confident president in front of him.
He had also heard that sentence.
No permanent friends, only permanent interests.
This statement is not wrong in a broad sense, but the problem is that there has never been any conflict of interest between Shancheng and the Empire. Even if there is, it is not much. Their relationship with Beisu is better.
"I hope so." The Secretary of State spread his hands with a bitter smile. "I can only do my best, but I won't promise the President that everything will go smoothly from now on, because you know what we are doing."
"Go ahead and do it. All they need are weapons and equipment, and that's what we have the most."
As long as he gave more, he believed that the mountain city would definitely return to the right track.
In Tokyo, the Army Headquarters was filled with excitement today. As Okamura Neiji walked through the corridor, he encountered and heard about the successful landing of the Berlin Fleet in Canada.
He listened to these discussions, and without exception they were all talking about one thing, that is, because of the attack from Berlin, some of the pressures and plans that the empire had encountered and were forced to be interrupted would be restarted, and that shameless existence would live under the shadow of war.
Zhou Weiguo's plan truly grasped the empire's psychology. If he was not mistaken, the overall offensive plan against the mountain city would be completely aborted.
When he opened the door, he saw that Nanjō Yunko had already placed the documents to be processed today on the table. Nanjō Yunko, who was wearing a military uniform, was standing in front of the window, staring blankly at a dark cloud forming in the distance.
Okamura Neiji sat down at his seat, looked out the window at the branches swaying left and right, and said, "The wind is picking up."
Nanzō Yunko turned her head to look at him and nodded. "Yes, things are going to change."
She approached Okamura Yasuji and said, "Nakamura brought news. The Washington administration has urgently convened the parliament. The Secretary of State has already left the mainland for Hawaii. I assume he's going to the non-protocol governor to personally oversee the restoration of contact with Yamashiro."
"Berlin's surprise attack on Canada has put pressure on Watsonton. They're now worried about us and Berlin launching a joint attack on them. Naturally, they need Shancheng to contain our forces at this time. There's nothing wrong with him doing this. It's the wisest choice."
"Yes." Nanzō Yunko nodded and said, "Then what should we do next?"
How to do it?
Okamura Neiji pondered for a moment and then smiled. "That depends on what Zhou Weiguo and the others decide to do. But the first thing we need to do is stop the Empire from launching a general attack on the mountain city."
In Kowloon, Xiao Ya, dressed in a black navy uniform, came to Hase Kiyoshi's office accompanied by Takahashi Ichi and Du Xiaoyue.
Seeing him approach, Hase Kiyoshi handed Xiao Ya a telegram lying on the edge of the table. "Your plan has been a complete success. This is an urgent secret message from headquarters. The Berlin High Seas Fleet and their army have landed in the southeast near the border with Watsontown. So far, they have controlled an area of nearly 100 square kilometers in length and width. Furthermore, the Canadian army must have received the secret message from the Fog City. Not only their fleet, but even the local army, surrendered completely after a brief resistance. They now control nearly 60,000 local troops, and they also control the air force and airfield."
Xiao Ya read the telegram and set it aside. She then stood up and went to the wine rack, poured two glasses of red wine, and handed one to Hase Kiyoshi. "Today will be a great day to celebrate. I believe that while things are relatively calm here, Watsontown will be the busiest. After all, their recent actions have offended both Shancheng and you."
"Yes, it's indeed a day worth celebrating." Hase Kiyoshi accepted the red wine, clinked glasses with Xiao Ya, and drank it all in one gulp. "Your crisis has been resolved for the time being, and I'm certain that if Watsonton wants to restore our relationship this time, it will be impossible without significant loss of money."
Xiao Ya smiled calmly and said, "Gentlemen agree with each other. Since they dared to do this, they should pay the corresponding price. After all, we didn't force them to make such a blatant choice. However, compared to this matter, I am more concerned about what your navy is planning."
Hase Kiyoshi shook his head. "It's not clear yet, but I think the next step will be to send troops to Canada or continue the offensive against Britain's Southeast Asian and South Asian colonies."
At this point, he smiled and said to Xiao Ya, "I think our Miss Xiao Ya should have a more reasonable suggestion, right?"
"I'm ashamed that you figured it out." Xiao Ya returned to the sofa, took off her military cap, and placed it beside her. "It's unwise to seek a distant goal over a nearby one. Canada needs to send troops, but not too many. With your strength, you don't have the conditions to confront Watsontown yet. After all, you don't have the resources."
"Your opinion is that we should continue to attack here and obtain sufficient resources before launching an attack on Watsonton." Hasegawa Kiyoshi took out a cigarette from the drawer, thought for a moment, then took out a brand new pack of women's cigarettes and threw it over; "I'm right, right?"
"That's about right. As the saying goes, 'food comes before troops move.' This principle applies both in ancient and modern times. Southeast Asia and South Asia do have abundant resources, including several minerals you need most. Only by controlling these resources can you remain calm in times of trouble and have sufficient resources to deal with the loss of warships. Of course, you also need to mobilize appropriate forces to Canada. After all, you have a strong relationship with Berlin, and you can't let them face it alone."
"What you said makes sense, but what about the cabinet?"
"So, we can't give the cabinet this opportunity." Xiao Ya stood up and walked to the window, looking at the soldiers of the Third Fleet Command walking down and sighed.
This sigh completely stumped Hasegawa Kiyoshi. The feeling of regret and heartache was so intense that Hasegawa Kiyoshi couldn't react for a long time. He came over to her and frowned, saying, "Your sigh carries so much meaning. It sends a chill down my spine. What are you sighing for?"
Xiao Ya turned her head to glance at Chang Guqing, then raised her finger to point at the officers walking in the distance and hummed, "I just sigh that you only care about your own comfort and ignore your subordinates."
Nani?
