Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Chapter 827 It’s Your Fault That You’re Incompetent

"That's not a wise move." Robert, at the Shancheng Special Envoy, sighed after reading the message and said bitterly to Ruth beside him, "The Empire is acting too hastily. Even if we do intend to participate in the division of Shancheng, there's no need to be so blatant."

Now the Empire has only declared war on Berlin, but it has only dispatched a small number of troops as a token of its support. In Asia, the Empire has no enemies, and the Japanese army is about to launch a general attack on the mountain city.

However, the Empire dispatched a squadron and a transport fleet from the Pacific Fleet in Hawaii to the Philippines. It goes without saying who they were targeting: they wanted a piece of the pie.

"Maybe the Presidential Palace thinks that the mountain city cannot withstand the Japanese attack." Ruth laughed beside her.

"Being unable to stop them and directly exposing our intentions are two completely different things. We can expose our ambitions, but all of this requires the British and North Soviet sides to take the lead, not us."

"The Empire has never taken Mountain City seriously. It's understandable that they made such a decision. However, Your Excellency, the decision made by the Empire has no impact on them. But for us, I'm afraid that the next period of time will not be easy."

"Your Excellency," the military officer outside the door walked in and said, "The mountain city has withdrawn the guards assigned to us and has given us three days to leave the city."

Robert rubbed his temple and nodded; "I understand. Let's get everyone ready."

"How could they react so quickly and not give us any time to explain?" Ruth asked in confusion. Of course, she knew the reason, because Zhou Weiguo had given her a secret message. She pretended not to know, just to boost Robert's complacency.

"They're already taking advantage of us. If they come to us to explain anything, they've really lost their dignity. Let's just pack up and leave." Robert stood up and looked out the window. "But if we leave now, it might not be that easy to come back."

"Can we come back?" Ruth asked, coming up to him.

Robert shrugged. "I don't know. The future is uncertain. No one knows what will happen next. But I hope the Empire won't regret their decision today."

"Gone?" Fatty Kong asked the secretary who came in with saliva dripping from his mouth in the Foreign Affairs Building.

When the headquarters sent a message asking him to immediately arrange for someone to notify the US embassy staff to evacuate within three days, he immediately arranged for someone to go and notify them, and then he didn't even go to see them off.

"Your Excellency, the Minister has already left. They will go to Delhi and then transfer to Non-Protocol from Delhi." The secretary repeated their itinerary.

Fatty Kong chuckled twice. "Let them go. The easier it is for them to leave today, the better it will be for them to come back tomorrow." He put down the pig's trotter in his hand and said, "Let our people spread the word and let them know how much the Americans have done to hurt our friendship. Also, let the military police keep an eye on those foreigners' shops. We can make the people angry, but we absolutely cannot let them rob their shops."

Shancheng's attitude is to expel them, but Shancheng also needs to protect the interests of ordinary foreign merchants here. After all, driving them back will only make it easier to get benefits in the future.

"Your Excellency, news has arrived from Hengyang that Madam Zhou Weiguo has departed. She will temporarily work in our foreign affairs department until the American personnel return and she will then return to the Independent Brigade. Should we go to greet her?"

"That lady?" Fatty Kong raised his head and asked. Zhou Weiguo had three wives, and he really couldn't tell them apart. But the arrival of any one of these three people would be enough to attract the attention of the Foreign Affairs Department.

"It's the second lady."

Xiuling?

Fatty Kong wiped his hands with the handkerchief beside him and nodded. "Get ready. I'll go and greet him personally."

At the Hengyang Military Airport, Xiao Ya watched the transport plane depart under the escort of three fighter jets. With her hands on her belly, she glanced sideways at Zhou Weiguo beside her. "Awen, I think it's time for me to go too."

Berlin's fleet had been on the move for some time, and it was expected that it would soon land in Canada. The Americans would be taken aback by this sudden arrival, and they would have a lot of things to do.

Likewise, there are many things to do in the mountain city.

Letting the Japanese army continue to attack Britain is also an important part of it. Xiao Ya, who has been in contact with Hase Kiyoshi, is also ordered to continue to stay by Hase Kiyoshi's side and assist them in launching a new round of attacks, while Asaka Hiderei goes to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and waits for the other party to come to him.

"Okay, the journey is long, so take care of yourself along the way. Guifang is your guard, so let her take care of your life. Du Xiaoyue is smart and clever, and she and Gaoqiao Yi will serve as your adjutants. I'm at ease."

At this point, he thought for a moment and said, "Let's take some gifts to Hasegawa Kiyoshi. Last time, a big fire burned down his shop."

Although Gao Qiao brought back a lot of compensation when he left, Zhou Weiguo still felt that he should bring some for him this time. After all, Xiao Ya would need his care for some time in the future.

Xiao Ya nodded; "I'll listen to you."

They all left. The next morning, after personally seeing Xiao Ya off, Zhou Weiguo turned to look at Nan Zao Mingzi beside him. "It's just the two of us left. Your eldest and second sisters will be staying there for a while."

Nan Zao Mingzi bent Zhou Weiguo's arm and said, "Eldest sister and second sister have told me everything. Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of you."

Just as he finished speaking, Takeshita Shun came over with a cigarette in his mouth; "Everyone has left, it's time for me to go too."

"Where are you going?" Zhou Weiguo didn't react for a moment. After the independent regiment was reorganized into a brigade, Takeshita Shunsui rose in rank and became deputy chief of staff and squad leader. Fang Shengli remained deputy brigade commander, and Sano Tadayoshi and the others naturally received promotions as well.

"The team has grown, and the pressure on us has also increased." Takeshita Shun looked at Ono who came to see him off intentionally or unintentionally.

The resentment in his eyes made Zhou Weiguo look at Xiaoye; "You bastard, you instigated them to go out again."

Ono jumped up in surprise. "You don't know how expensive oil and salt are until you run a household. We used to be fine with just one independent regiment, but now we have three more infantry regiments. What a huge expense that would take! What good can we expect from the rations we get from above?"

At this point, he snorted coldly and came up to Zhou Weiguo; "It's because you don't have the ability. If you had some ability, we wouldn't have let Zhu go down to rob you."

"I..." Zhou Weiguo raised his hand and pointed at himself; "What does this have to do with me?"
