Chapter 801 Why don’t you take action? Don’t you like money?
What to do in Tokyo? That's a good question.
Takeshita Shun took a sip of his white wine. "The agreement signed between Northern Soviet and our Yamashiro has severely threatened the interests of the Japanese army. However, Tokyo is currently not in a position to engage in a war with them. The angry people have smashed their shops and killed Northern Soviet people. This is understandable."
"Takeshita, let me tell you, we were born to be together. We think the same way." Zhou Weiguo pointed at Takeshita Jun with a smile.
Takeshita Shun's face fell; "You should call me brother."
"You..." Zhou Weiguo stared at Takeshita Jun with gritted teeth. Xiaoya beside him quickly picked up some food for the two of them. "Eat, let's eat first."
Thanks to Xiao Ya, the two of them were unable to fight in the end.
Meanwhile, back in Tokyo, Minami Zorin sipped his tea in his villa outside the city, then glanced at his daughter. "So, the 11th Army has stopped its attack."
"Yes, there was a problem with the food supplies. Anami Korechika has already reported this to the headquarters and pointed out that the failure this time was due to insufficient supplies. This forced the front line to collect food locally, which allowed the people from the Second Division to take advantage of the situation."
"Anan Korechika is a smart man. How could he take the responsibility for this failure on himself?" Nan Zaolin took another sip of tea.
Nanzō Yunko hummed. "Father is right, but it's not easy for him to shirk responsibility. After all, the headquarters has already mobilized personnel to investigate this matter. After all..."
"It can't be found out. Anami Korechika won't allow anyone here to find out the truth. If they do, it would mean he's derelict in his duty. After all, an entire brigade of soldiers were poisoned. This is no small matter. If it's his fault, he'll be unfit to hold his position. There are only two outcomes for anyone who goes here. First, what they find out can only be what Anami Korechika wants them to see. Second, they'll use the Second Division's hand to eliminate these people."
No matter what, the truth about the brigade's poisoning is unlikely to surface.
"Then do I need to tell my brother-in-law and the others about this situation? After all, the people who went there represent the headquarters. If we eliminate them, it will be a great achievement for them."
Can you tell me about the situation?
Nan Zaolin chuckled and handed her a telegram. "Take a look at this first. I copied it from the General Staff Headquarters."
Nanzō Yunko took it and read the contents. "Yamashiro and Kitasu signed a Lend-Lease Agreement."
"Well, the 11th Army's fierce attack has made Shancheng feel a sense of crisis. Coupled with North America's obstruction, they naturally need more aid and equipment. Beisu was driven out of the Pacific by our empire, so they naturally want to return. Fuzhou is their best choice."
"It looks like they're coming." Nanzō Yunko took a deep breath. "Father, I'm afraid you'll have to speak well of Okamura Yasuji when the time comes. What happened last time had its reasons."
Nan Zaolin nodded slightly; "Don't worry, I will definitely tell you."
Four days later in the afternoon, Nan Zaolin, as usual, walked slowly towards home after leaving the General Staff Headquarters. Just as he passed the entrance of the alley, he saw the familiar person leaning on the telephone pole. Nan Zaolin looked at him, and then looked towards the alley not far away.
Zhou Weiguo and Nan Zao Mingzi looked at each other with a smile and followed.
"Dad, you don't seem surprised by our arrival." After entering the alley and catching up with Minami Zaolin in front, Minami Zao Akiko asked first.
"Let's talk about it when we get back. This isn't the place to discuss things." Minami Zaolin handed Minami Zao Akiko a note. "I'm staying here now. I'll let your eldest sister come over later so we can have a simple meal together."
Zhou Weiguo did not go to Nan Zaolin first, but returned to a villa where Chang Guqing lived here.
The people who came this time were Takeshita Shun, Miyamoto and Kobayashi Keiko from the squad, and the only ones he brought with him were Minamijō Akiko, Xiao Ya and Asaka Hiderei to stay with the independent regiment.
Hearing the sound of the door opening and the subsequent silent footsteps, Takeshita Shun, who was standing in front of the window, knew that it was Zhou Weiguo who came in.
He sighed and looked towards the thick dark clouds gradually forming in the distance. "The weather in Tokyo is going to change."
"Yeah, I guess it's going to rain heavily soon." Zhou Weiguo came over to him, took the cigarette and lit it. "Did you find anything after going out for a walk?"
"Someone has leaked the news of the agreement between the North Soviet Union and us. There are demonstrations going on in Tokyo right now, saying they want to teach the North Soviet Union a lesson. To prevent chaos, the Tokyo Police Department and the Military Police have entered the city to maintain order. Even the North Soviet residential areas are being guarded by plainclothes officers."
"It seems that they are scared."
"There's no other way. The Cabinet and the headquarters have already realized that they can't clash with the Northern Soviet Union, and the Navy doesn't want the war to resume northward. After all, if they go north, they will lose control of the initiative."
"Then do we still need to take action?" Gao Qiaoyi, who was standing next to him, asked after hearing what Zhou Weiguo said.
Takahashi Ichino also came along. To the outside, he was Hase Kiyoshi's adjutant, so it was easy for him to lead the way.
"Why don't you take action?" Zhou Weiguo turned his head and glanced at him. "Don't you like money?"
"That's not the case." Gao Qiao shook his head. Of course, he liked money, and since he started working with his wife, he really understood what it meant to have a huge fortune when a cannon shot.
"That's all, as long as you have the money, you can get it."
"But General, once the operation begins, the relationship between Moxico and Tokyo will become very tense. If a war breaks out between the two, causing Tokyo to launch an attack on Fuzhou prematurely, then the agreement we signed with them will probably become invalid."
"No," Takeshita Shun replied, dropping his cigarette into the nearby ashtray before glancing at Takahashi. "Your naval headquarters is moving south, and that's the correct decision. The British are simply not strong enough to stop the Japanese attack, and the Soviets are putting pressure on Berlin. The leaders of both sides will exercise restraint."
As long as the upper level doesn't want to fight, then no matter how you act below, it will be meaningless. At most, you will have to use foreign affairs to resolve the issue.
Takahashi Kazuki thought of a word he had learned in Yamashiro.
He thought that this word could well describe the thoughts of the two people in front of him and the actions they were about to take.
