Chapter 658 A win-win situation, I hope you win
More important things?
After pondering for a moment, Chang Guqing looked up at Xiao Ya and said, "Isn't the most important thing we should do right now to destroy their task force?"
Xiao Ya shook her head. "No matter what the fleet is like, before it reaches us, it's just a lonely boat adrift. We can bomb it at any time. Rather than that, I'd like to know how you plan to capture their Far East Governor's Office."
At this point, she added, "Although the Far East is small, the money from several concessions is transported through here to their homeland. According to our information, their money hasn't been transferred for a year. Aren't you tempted?"
"You..." Chang Guqing looked at Xiao Ya, and he finally understood that Xiao Ya's main purpose was money. As for winning or not, it was not very important to her.
"I do care about the money. After all, it can bring us many benefits. We also need the weapons and equipment. However, the prerequisite for obtaining these things is that you must win. Therefore, this win-win situation makes me hope that you can win."
That’s true.
Chang Guqing put his hands behind his back, thought for a while, turned his head and looked at Xiao Ya; "You have a way, right?"
Xiao Ya hummed, walked over to the map, and pointed at it. "Their Far East Fleet has artillery batteries on both sides. Even if you blow up their task force, your attack here will be intercepted. You don't want your troops to suffer losses, and I don't want our fleet to suffer losses either."
"Just tell me what to do." I don't want to hear reasons. What I want is victory.
Xiao Ya raised her lips slightly as she walked over to Hase Kiyoshi and said with a smile, "Pretend to build a plank road while secretly attacking Chencang. While the two sides haven't started fighting yet, visit the Far East Fleet and the Far East Governor's Office."
Chang Guqing chuckled twice and pointed at Xiao Ya. "It seems that you have been thinking about how to take over the Far East Governor's Office for a long time."
"Not really. I only started thinking about this after arriving in Guangzhou. After all, the Far East is ours as well as yours, isn't it?"
Yes, from the perspective of the agreement, this is correct, Hase Kiyoshi nodded. "You are indeed correct. It is ours and yours as well. So, what are your specific plans?"
Hengyang City. After deciding to give up Changsha, Commander Bai chose Hengyang as the headquarters of the Ninth War Commander after careful consideration.
The current command center was once the Hengyang City Defense Command Center.
Chief of Staff Wu approached Commander Bai and said, "The British task force has entered the western Indian Ocean and will soon be within bombing range of the Third Fleet's air formation. It seems this fleet is in grave danger."
"This is inevitable. The two aircraft carriers of the Third Fleet arrived in Guangzhou, nominally to bomb Guangxi and pave the way for the army, but in reality, they were just there to bomb this formation."
Chief of Staff Wu sat down in his chair and said, "Bombing is easy, but the Far East Fleet is a bit troublesome. There are artillery batteries over there, and there are also 2,000 troops stationed there. Compared with the support troops, this is a real problem."
Trouble?
Commander Bai chuckled and said, "I don't think this is that troublesome. Don't forget, Xiao Ya and Minamizo Akiko are here too. They'll figure out a way to deal with this. After all, according to the agreement, those weapons and equipment will belong to us from now on. They'll both go all out on this."
"Do you really believe that they can succeed?" Chief of Staff Wu asked Commander Bai who was standing in front of the map.
Commander Bai turned around and smiled, "I don't trust them, I trust Zhou Weiguo."
Zhou Weiguo?
What does this have to do with Zhou Weiguo? After all, there are only two of them.
"If you keep company with the good, you'll be known by the bad. They are both Zhou Weiguo's wives. As the saying goes, if they are not from the same family, they will not enter the same house. If Zhou Weiguo were here, how would he respond?"
"He." Chief of Staff Wu smiled. "Isn't the simplest way to do this using poison gas bombs?"
"Will they use poison gas bombs?" In Changsha, at the 11th Army Headquarters, General Okamura Yasuji had a cooperation with the Ninth War Zone, so he knew very well which places could be occupied, which places could not be occupied, and which places needed to be seized by themselves.
So his job was simple, but this kind of life was also very boring.
It just so happened that the navy was planning to occupy the British Far East Governor-General's Office. Okamura Neiji, Yamadajima, and Nanzō Yunko were all discussing how Hase Kiyoshi and his marines would capture this place.
As long as the incoming fleet does not reach the Far East, there will be no threat. Of course, they cannot come over, and the navy will not let them come over.
That fleet is not a big threat. The real threat comes from the more than 2,000 troops stationed in the Far East and the fleet docked in the port.
The port, maybe they will go in as a visit, and then take the opportunity to take action. This kind of thing, the navy has done this kind of thing, it is not the first time, they did it decades ago, although they did not enter the port directly, but there is no difference.
The port problem is not difficult, the difficult part is those thousands of infantrymen.
"Poison gas bomb?" Yamadajima and Nanzō Yunko both looked up at Okamura Yasuji who was speaking.
"Okamura-kun, you mean the navy will use poison gas bombs? That shouldn't happen. After all, these two countries are two different concepts."
Shancheng is a big agricultural country. They don't even have their own industrial system. Even though they have obtained a lot of industrial equipment by stealing and threatening others during this period, the problem is that they don't have enough materials for production.
But it’s different in Britain. They entered industrialization many years ago, and agriculture is just an auxiliary for them.
Regarding the war, to put it bluntly, Shancheng cannot produce poison gas bombs, so the empire can use poison gas bombs unscrupulously in some places, but Shancheng, can you use poison gas bombs at will?
If you dare to use it, the other party can also use it.
Okamura Neiji took a sip of tea from the table and looked at Yamadajima. "You mean to say that Yamashiro can't produce poison gas bombs, but the British can, right?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I mean. For this reason, poison gas bombs are not the best choice."
Okamura Neiji nodded and folded his arms. "You're right. Common sense suggests they wouldn't use poison gas bombs. But don't forget, Xiao Ya and Minamizō Akiko, according to insider information, have been with Hase Kiyoshi all this time. Do you understand what this means?"
At this point, Okamura Neiji pondered for a moment and then said, "Those two destabilizing factors are here. Do you think they won't use them?"
