Chapter 557 Berlin Takes Action
Chapter 557 Berlin Takes Action
Hehehe...
Officer Bai looked at Principal Zhang beside him and said, "See? Zhou Jixian's son is much more direct than you. I've said before that if you don't change your indecisive nature, you'll suffer. What do you think?"
Commander Zhang glanced at him. In fact, after Commander Bai went north, the two of them had carefully conducted repeated simulations on the Battle of Songhu.
In a word, a general is not subject to military orders when he is away from home. If he had not followed the command of the headquarters and had fought forward directly, he would have been able to drive the enemy into the sea before the Japanese reinforcements arrived. However, a few days of stopping the attack gave them time to catch their breath.
In this matter, it is Principal Zhang who is in charge. You can try to let Commander Bai take charge, he won’t pay any attention to you.
Without paying any attention to Officer Bai, Principal Zhang pointed at Zhou Weiguo and said, "Awen, tell me what you think."
Zhou Weiguo picked up the teacup and took a sip. "It's actually very simple. The Japanese army has the ambition to dominate the world. Then the European head of state also has the ambition to wash away the previous shame and dominate the world. However, the huge size of the Northern Soviet Union makes him a little afraid. How could he let the Japanese army's attack gain no benefits?"
"You mean, he wants to start a war?" Commander Bai followed Zhou Weiguo's meaning; "Start a war to contain the North Soviet Union."
Zhou Weiguo shook his head; "It is impossible to start a war for the time being. He has expanded his military strength by millions, including armored divisions, air force divisions, etc. These have not yet been fully trained. If we start a war now, he will suffer a great loss. That man is a smart man, and it is impossible to attack him without sufficient preparation. But this does not mean that he will not make any moves."
At this point, Zhou Weiguo bowed his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "We hope that when the Japanese army fails to advance northward, they will not transfer the Kwantung Army to deal with us. In fact, it is the same if we let them go. Which leader would not want the troops on the eastern front of the Northern Soviet Union to be unable to be withdrawn? In this way, it will be much easier for him to deal with the Northern Soviet Union at that time."
Hahahaha...
Principal Zhang laughed and pointed at Zhou Weiguo. "You have relieved a lot of my worries."
Commander Bai glanced at him and said, "What soldiers fear most is being afraid of tigers in front and wolves behind. Therefore, I don't recommend that soldiers go into politics. If they think too much, they will lose a lot."
Principal Zhang glanced at him and asked, "Aren't you in charge of Guangxi government affairs?"
"That's Duke De's business. I won't get involved. I'm just a commander." Commander Bai chuckled twice.
Zhou Weiguo did not want to get involved in the affairs of these two people. He went to the back kitchen. Mrs. Zhang, who was wearing an apron, saw Zhou Weiguo coming in and said, "Don't stay here. You will definitely have some drinks later. Let's go down the mountain to buy some snacks."
She pointed to the purse beside her and said, "The money is in the wallet, take it yourself."
"I..." Zhou Weiguo pointed at himself. He had just drunk a lot of wine with Levsky and Khabayev, and now he was still holding a teacup.
Xiao Ya looked at Zhou Weiguo and knew that he couldn't drive, so she stood up and said with a smile, "Godmother, I'll go. He and Levski have already drunk some wine, and it's not safe for them to drive."
Mrs. Zhang thought about it and nodded to let Xiao Ya go, while Zhou Weiguo took over the task of making fire.
Berlin.
In the Führer's office, the Führer in a suit sat on a chair and listened to the intelligence minister's report. He looked at the dozen or so senior generals standing in front of him. "We can't wait any longer. We must increase our forces on the Eastern Front to buy more time for these idiots. Hai Shengwei must be in their hands. This is very important for our future plans."
"But we have no reason to mobilize troops. If we increase troops rashly, it may cause a direct conflict between the two sides." The Minister of Defense reminded.
The head of state frowned, stood up and walked around the room for a moment, then turned his head to look in the direction of Poland; "Poland's transportation roads are too weak, which is not conducive to local development, whether in the future or now. We can mobilize troops there and use the excuse of assisting local large-scale economic construction as an excuse."
He didn't care whether they believed it or not. As long as they believed it, it was fine.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Commerce looked at each other and felt that this method was feasible. There were not many local workers, so it was understandable to use military force to assist them.
Three hundred thousand troops are gathering, ready to set off at any time.
Moshiko was ready to deal with the resistance, but the Prime Minister's Office had not yet come to a conclusion on who would command the troops on the Eastern Front.
While this issue was still not settled, Levsky's telegram had already been sent to the Foreign Affairs Council and, through the Foreign Minister, to the bearded man's office.
The large room was filled with a strong smell of tobacco. The Minister of National Defense and the Minister of Equipment looked at each other, and then one of them opened the window.
"You know everything now, right?" The bearded man glanced at the two of them and pushed the telegram sent by the Foreign Affairs Council aside. "They really know how to choose the right time."
The two remained silent, they indeed already knew about this.
A medical production line, a military truck production line, forty fighter jets, a squadron of bombers, this is indeed taking advantage of someone's misfortune.
"We can't agree to this. If we do, they will definitely ask for more in the future." The Prime Minister said what he meant and stood up. "A small army of Kwantung cannot scare us. When our 300,000-strong army arrives, it will be time to make them pay the price."
Three hundred thousand troops were ready to be transferred from the occupied area. In fact, he had been planning to withdraw part of the troops from the Polish occupied area. As the situation changed, the ambitious guy opposite him was getting stronger and stronger. He did not want the other side to point the gun at him.
Although he repeatedly assured her during several communications that such a thing would not happen, he did not believe it. No one present would believe it either.
If he doesn't retreat, then I will have to retreat and withdraw my troops there.
"Dear Prime Minister, I'm afraid we'd better give them the supplies. Also, we can't mobilize 300,000 troops from the occupied areas."
The bearded man with the cigarette in his mouth raised his head and looked at the Minister of Defense who was speaking; "What do you mean by that?"
The Minister of Defense opened his briefcase and took out a telegram from it; "Just received news that their three groups are fully assembled. At the same time, an hour ago, their head of state made a radio speech, mobilizing 400,000 troops to support Poland's economic construction, and to assist in the construction of roads and bridges, so that they can occupy the area and promote their economic recovery."
Oh shit.
The bearded man cursed in his heart.
This is really a very clever statement. They said it was for the economic development over there, but in fact, it was secretly helping the Japanese army.
"I knew they were not good people." The bearded man was so angry that he pinched his pipe and narrowed his eyes. After a long while, he added, "I also underestimated Shancheng. In the past, I thought they were not bad, but now it seems that Shancheng is not a good thing either."
