Chapter 1182 None of us have a way out
In cases where it cannot be prevented.
This conflict was unavoidable.
How can the mountain city curb their ambitions?
"I think we should have the old man call a meeting with them."
Young Zhuge looked at General Zhang, squinted his eyes, and asked, "The Feast at Hongmen, huh?"
They wouldn't let them leave once they were in.
“They’re not the one surnamed Zhang,” General Zhang laughed.
Zhang was able to control the old man like this because the Northeast Army, once they left their homeland, were like lambs to the slaughter. But the Northwest was different; the Northwest was entirely under their control. Even if they came, only one could come.
"So what do you mean?" Little Zhuge didn't understand at first.
General Zhang said, "We need to come up with a solution, see what their thoughts are, how to fight if they are willing to fight, and how to resolve the situation if they are not willing to fight."
Killing will definitely not solve the problem.
This meeting was held three days later in Baoji, Shaanxi.
Although the news was kept secret, it was still detected by the Japanese military.
Hasegawa Kiyoshi breathed a sigh of relief after reading the contents.
Zhou Weiguo. This man never left; in his heart, he remained a sharp sword hanging over his head, and no one knew when that sword would fall.
But now, he's not worried about that problem anymore.
Zhou Weiguo will definitely leave. And considering the information we received recently, it seems the Northern Soviet Union is about to take action.
"Let's go see him."
It's not that I don't like him being here, but rather that his presence here is good for everyone.
Kowloon isn't that big. Zhou Weiguo and Xiao Ya had already familiarized themselves with the area. Neither of them had left the area during this time.
Hasegawa Kiyoshi arrived and asked Zhou Weiguo, who was reading a book, "The investigation is complete."
To reiterate, he couldn't prevent this from happening, but the person who proposed the plan must die.
He was able to persuade the prime minister to ask someone to take charge, which clearly shows that he saw the serious problems Tokyo was facing. Such a clear-headed person might be suitable for other places, but not for Tokyo.
His existence will gradually bring that completely insane country back to its senses.
A sober Tokyo is not conducive to the ascent of the mountain city.
“No.” Hasegawa Kiyoshi handed over the telegram; “But I think that instead of assassinating that person, what you should do now is return to Yamashiro immediately.”
Zhou Weiguo took the telegram, read it, and put it aside.
"You mean to say that the Northern Soviet Union is going to attack us, is that right?"
Hasegawa Kiyoshi shook his head; "Given the current situation, who can say for sure what will happen?"
The cooperation between the Empire and Washington is only a matter of time, and it is even an unstoppable problem.
How can the Northern Soviet Union preserve its greatest interests?
Naturally, the solution would be to replicate Poland and create a buffer zone, a buffer zone to prevent the empire from advancing westward.
"They've done this before, so they have experience and naturally this is the first thing they'll consider. But you're not Poland. I think he might conduct a test."
To test the waters.
Zhou Weiguo picked up the teacup next to him, took a sip, and nodded; "You're right, I really should go back."
Dealing with the Northern Soviet Union would likely require the deployment of armored forces, and commanding armored forces is something I excel at.
"Xiao Ya, send a secret telegram to Takeshita Shun and the others, tell them to return to the Independent Brigade." Zhou Weiguo clenched his fist; no matter what, he had to go back.
Hasegawa Kiyoshi, who was eager for Zhou Weiguo and his wife to leave, made arrangements for Zhou Weiguo and Xiao Ya that very day.
That evening, they arrived in Luoyang, the headquarters of the Japanese Second Army. They then left Luoyang, crossed the Yellow River to the west, made contact with the local troops guarding Tongguan, obtained a vehicle, and headed to Xi'an.
Because Xi'an was looted by the Japanese army, many parts of the city are still under construction. The four infantry battalions of the Independent Brigade are now stationed in the east of Xi'an.
Upon entering the Independent Brigade, Zhou Weiguo realized something was amiss. After getting off the vehicle and entering his room, he saw Zhao Shoutian directing the movement of belongings.
"Shoutian," Zhou Weiguo called out.
Zhao Shoutian was startled when he heard the voice. After confirming that it was the Second Boss's voice, he turned around sharply and shouted, "The Second Boss is back!"
His shout brought everyone out of the brigade command post.
Fang Shengli, dressed in military uniform, laughed twice and came up to Zhou Weiguo; "I knew you would come back."
Zhou Weiguo did not change his military uniform, so Zhang Guifang immediately went to fetch it.
He took the clothes and went to the next room, shouting out, "Victory, describe the current situation in the shortest possible time!"
Fang Shengli had just taken out a cigarette when he struck a match and said to the window, "The Northern Soviet Union may take action against our mountain city. My Independent Brigade has been ordered to immediately enter northern Gansu to deploy defenses."
Is it time to attack?
Zhou Weiguo quickly changed into his military uniform and came out. Asaka Xiuling handed him her general's cap; "Go to headquarters. We don't know much. If you want to know the real situation, you have to ask Commander Bai."
Zhou Weiguo had such a plan. He told Xiao Ya to rest first, and then took Chao Xiang Xiuling to the command post.
Commander Bai clearly did not expect Zhou Weiguo to come.
Upon seeing Zhou Weiguo, he was taken aback for a moment, then laughed heartily and said, "I'm much relieved to see you back."
"Sir, are we really going to fight?" Zhou Weiguo was still somewhat skeptical. No matter what, Beisu shouldn't be pushing Shancheng to the brink at this time.
Little Zhuge nodded; "They have amassed a division of troops in northern Gansu. We believe this is a test by their division to gauge our resolve and fighting strength. The old man has sent word that this battle can only be won, not lost. If we lose..."
"Once defeated, their large army will quickly break through from the northwest and the north of the Oirat and launch a full-scale attack on our northern region."
Following Commander Bai's instructions, Zhou Weiguo went to the map and pointed to three directions. "We can attack from three directions, but our northwest defenses are the weakest and we probably can't hold them off. Our main forces are concentrated in the southwest and central south, so even if we can mobilize them, it will probably be too late."
"Yes." Commander Bai approached Zhou Weiguo and pointed northwest. "The easiest direction for them to attack should be the northwest, but they are instead gathering their forces in the Gansu area. This is a challenge to us, and we have no choice but to accept it. We must not only win, but win decisively. Only by winning can we curb their arrogance. This is a test, and also a battle to see if China can move forward. Therefore, we have no way out, you have no way out, I have no way out, none of us have a way out."
