Chapter 1142 Opened a door but closed a window
Asaka Shurei stared at Zhou Weiguo with wide eyes.
Seeing that her husband didn't understand, she sat up and looked at Zhou Weiguo seriously.
"My lord, although the United States is a democracy, it is more of a commercial country. The power in their country is concentrated in the hands of businessmen and farmers. The presidential palace and parliament represent the interests of these people. In their eyes, interests are more important than anything else. If the Japanese army and the Berlin army were to join forces, do you think these people would be unable to cope with the joint pressure from two crazy countries and would completely fall into their arms?"
Zhou Weiguo felt a chill run down his spine.
All along, what he had been considering was reducing the pressure on the mountain city, and there was only one way to directly reduce the pressure. That way was to let the Japanese army launch a large-scale attack on Jian'an, threatening American interests from the flank. Once the Japanese army entered the area, the mountain city would naturally not be their primary target.
At that time, Shancheng will have more energy to do other things, but he forgot one thing.
The United States is a commercialized country; in their eyes, there is only profit.
"I really didn't expect this if you hadn't mentioned it." Zhou Weiguo lit another cigarette, got up, and went to the window.
He opened a door to Rome for the mountain city, but at the same time, he also opened Pandora's box.
Of course, the box hasn't appeared yet, but given Winston's current considerations, he probably wants to increase the pressure on the US side as much as possible, thereby reducing his own pressure.
However, Tokyo and Berlin are not fools either.
Don't mention how good his relationship with Guderian was; when national interests come first, personal relationships always have to take a backseat.
"Should we ask Sister Mingzi to come over?" Asaka Xiuling walked up to him and handed him a cup of tea that had already warmed up.
Zhou Weiguo took the teacup, took a sip, and shook his head. "No need for now. Let's check on their situation first."
In Nanjing, after a day of training, Yoshiko Kawashima returned to her room.
Just as I changed into a cheongsam, Yu Cui came in from outside; "Miss, news has come from Tokyo that two divisions have set off under the escort of the navy. In addition, news has also come from the eastern part of Canada that the British army does not seem to have made any combat deployments."
No combat deployment?
Yoshiko Kawashima looked up at her maid with an incredulous expression. "Are you sure this news is true?"
This shouldn't be the case. Tokyo must have received the news long ago when they launched the attack. So many days have passed; even if they're slow to react, they should have made a decision by now.
However, Ying's performance was truly astonishing.
They did not deploy in the east.
"Yes, miss, that's what the news says."
Strangely, Yoshiko Kawashima wasn't in the mood to go out and seduce the officer. Right now, she was preoccupied with one thing: what was the other party's purpose in doing this?
Da da da……
The crisp sound of high heels echoed in the room.
Yu Cui knew that this was his way of thinking, so she stood obediently to the side, waiting for his decision. Meanwhile, amidst the rhythmic footsteps, she began to wonder why he was doing this.
The footsteps continued for almost the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before Yoshiko Kawashima turned to Yu Cui with a sudden realization and said, "So that's how it is."
how?
Yu Cui's eyes were blurry; she didn't understand.
"Yu Cui, send a telegram to the 11th Army headquarters. I have important confidential information, information that can bring the Empire victory as quickly as possible, and I need to report it to General Anan."
Yu Cui hummed twice and went out the door. After Yu Cui left...
Yoshiko Kawashima excitedly wandered around the room several times before finally walking to the liquor shelf, opening a bottle of red wine, gulping down a few mouthfuls, and laughing.
"I knew it. There's always a way out. This time, the empire's revival is within reach."
In Yueyang, at the headquarters of the 11th Army, Akiyama, the newly appointed director of the Special Higher Police, took out a telegram from his briefcase tucked under his arm and handed it to Anami Korechika, who was sitting on the sofa playing chess with Di Liqiubing, who had just taken over as the chief of staff of the 11th Army.
"General, this is a telegram from Yoshiko Kawashima. She says she has an urgent matter to report to you."
Yoshiko Kawashima?
What could she possibly have to report to me?
Anami Korechika didn't even pick up the telegram; instead, he focused intently on the chessboard in front of him.
"General, won't you take a look?" Di Liqiu, who was still serving as the commander of the 13th Division, threw the chess piece in his hand onto the chessboard, scattering the entire board.
Anami Korechika glanced at him, then picked up a teacup from the side and lazily leaned back on the sofa to take a sip of tea.
"There's nothing to see here. Any suggestions that person makes are based on the premise of maximizing her ambition to build her dream of ruling the previous dynasty."
Since it's not truly for the sake of the empire, whether or not to read this telegram is not very meaningful.
Diliqiu Bing naturally understood this principle. He reached out and grabbed the chaotic chess pieces, thus completely disrupting the entire game, and then laughed: "Although what she was having was indeed an unrealistic dream, General, we do not deny that some of the suggestions she made have indeed benefited us greatly. Moreover, some people in Manchukuo have taken her as their role model."
Even if it's just for show for some people in Manchukuo, we still have to put on an act.
The fact that a high-ranking Special Higher Police agent had come from outside the Great Wall to inside the Great Wall had already displeased some people in Manchukuo. Now, to prevent him from causing trouble for the 11th Army, she had been relegated to the insignificant instructor position at the 76th Division, which was established to serve the Empire.
This gradual, step-by-step reduction is completely inappropriate.
Anami Korechika crossed his arms and looked at his chief of staff for a while before reaching out to pick up the telegram that Akiyama had placed on the table.
Upon seeing this, he was completely bewildered.
The above actually mentions a method that could enable the empire to achieve swift and ultimate victory.
This is a certainty, not a possibility.
What could possibly have made her say such a thing?
Even he wouldn't have that kind of confidence.
"Oh, that's quite a boast." Di Liqiu put the last chess piece into the box, took the telegram, glanced at it, and patted the chess box in front of him with a half-smile. "General, no matter what she is like, she is just a chess piece in our hands, isn't she?"
There was a hidden meaning in his words, and Anami Korechika understood it. He nodded after humming in agreement; "She is indeed a pawn, and a very good one at that."
