Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Chapter 645: The Empire, waiting for news of your victory

Hasegawa Kiyoshi was in no mood to eat.

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment before sighing, "I'm afraid we don't have this opportunity."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Ya asked, holding up the teacup.

Hase Kiyoshi put the can aside and said, "Our Empire's military strength has always been inferior to Britain's. You all know why we've been taking action recently. It's to support Berlin and create an opportunity for them. However, if Berlin doesn't act, we probably won't be able to do anything."

Who can guarantee that after taking action here, he will take action in Berlin?

"Don't worry, they will definitely take action." Xiao Ya put down the teacup and said confidently.

Chang Guqing frowned and asked in confusion, "Why are you so sure?"

"It's not that I'm so sure, but I believe Awen. He can get Berlin to take action first. I think instead of overthinking it here, you should think about whether you should let those senior officials take a look. The previous combat methods are outdated. Is it necessary to continue to build the several large battleships you are building? Do they need to be converted into aircraft carriers?"

"Adjutant, pack up, we're going to Tokyo." Hase Kiyoshi gestured to his adjutant to make the arrangements and then looked up at the two of them. "If you're free, come take a walk with us."

"Shouldn't we be leaving soon?" Chao Xiang Xiuling took Zhou Weiguo's arm. Just now, Alice had sent a message that the Führer had signed the order for the battle plan. Now, the Air Force, Navy, and Army in Berlin were secretly preparing.

Things have already started. Is it still necessary to stay here?

"Not yet." Zhou Weiguo lit a cigarette and glanced at him. "The Ardennes assault plan is the first time in history that such a large number of armored tanks have been deployed in combat. They have no idea what to do. At this point, I have to stay here. If I want to leave, I have to wait until this is over. Besides, we can't just leave like this."

Chaoxiang Xiuling looked up at the man in her family; "You are not... you are not planning to cheat me, are you?"

"General, I'm afraid this may be difficult. The Empire has already given you a lot. If..."

"I want truck engine technology, and I want some of the money you'll get after your victory. That's not too much, is it? Besides, I told you, if you follow me, you'll have everything I have. So, you don't want the Iron Cross anymore?"

I think about it, I even dream about it, but that thing is not something you can get just by wanting it.

Alice wanted to deny it, but finally nodded; "I think so."

"That's right. All commanders and soldiers involved in this frontline crossing of the Ardennes will receive generous rewards, and I'm sure quite a few will receive the Iron Cross. So I won't let you miss this opportunity, and that's one of the reasons I'm staying."

Chaoxiang Xiuling's hand, which was fiddling with the candy wrapper, paused for a moment. He knew that the boss could fool people, but it was really impossible to fool someone like this.

He really stayed because he wanted Alice to get the medal, not because he was worried about the other side being hesitant.

However, no matter what his reason was, Alice in front of him had red eyes.

She is also a very simple little girl.

Two days later, Guderian, Zhou Weiguo and his party secretly arrived at the forefront of the Western Front.

There are four armored divisions participating in the Ardennes Forest operation. They will be the first echelon, followed by two more armored divisions. In addition, there is an infantry army following behind these armored divisions.

The huge conference room was silent, and everyone was a little nervous about the upcoming action.

Zhou Weiguo's rank of major general and his current position as Guderian's chief of staff give him a seat in this conference room.

After Guderian explained the deployment clearly, Zhou Weiguo coughed, stood up, and looked at the seven or eight generals sitting there seriously.

"Generals, the leader is waiting for you, and so are our people. To use the words of Shancheng, we are now on the verge of a decisive battle. The situation leaves us with no choice."

At this point, he looked at everyone present. "We've been suppressed by them for so many years. Now, it's time to let them know our blood. Also, I need to tell you one thing. The Führer has prepared a grand celebration. After this attack is over, everyone present will receive the highest honor. The Führer will personally award you with the Iron Cross."

Guderian, who was sitting next to him, raised his head slightly and glanced at Zhou Weiguo, who was spitting.

He wanted to say, the Führer never said these people would receive the highest honor, nor did he mention the medals. How could Zhou Weiguo take over? If so...

However, seeing the generals who had been a little worried just now showing joy in their eyes, he really couldn't bear to interrupt them and just let Zhou Weiguo talk nonsense.

"Generals, victory is at hand. If this attack succeeds, each of us will be recorded in history. The people of the empire will forever remember each of your names. For the glory of the empire, for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and for your own names to be passed down through the ages, generals, strive hard."

"Yes." Seven or eight people answered in unison. Zhou Weiguo saw that everyone's emotions were aroused by him, and then he took a step back. He still had to hand over the main battlefield to Guderian, who was the person in charge of this operation and the next commander.

"Now that it's clear, my generals will go down and prepare."

After signaling everyone to leave, Guderian stood up and looked at Zhou Weiguo in front of him; "The Führer didn't say anything about awarding them the Iron Cross."

Zhou Weiguo took out a cigar. He could only afford to smoke this thing in Berlin. In the mountain city, it was a daydream to want to smoke this. Even cigarettes might not be available, let alone cigars.

Lighting a cigar, Zhou Weiguo slowly looked at Guderian and said with a smile, "Then you can find a way to get him to award it."

"What do you think that is? Can it be awarded just like that?" Guderian looked at Zhou Weiguo in front of him.

What is this, scrap metal? No, no, this is glory, this is...

"It's just a piece of iron. You've thrown away its honor. How much do you think it's worth? To put it another way, if you take it to our mountain city, people who collect scrap metal probably won't even give it two cents."

"You..." Guderian's face turned red after hearing Zhou Weiguo's words.

In Zhou Weiguo's eyes, the Empire's Iron Cross Medal was not worth even two cents.

"That's too much." Guderian took a deep breath and looked at Zhou Weiguo. This thing is too disrespectful to the medals here. That is the honor of soldiers.

Seeing his angry expression, Zhou Weiguo calmly picked up the cup beside him and took a sip. "You seem to have not yet understood the true meaning of my words."
