Chapter 798: Some things, even if you know them, you can’t tell them
Levsky glanced at him and smiled. "The solution is for you to persuade the Prime Minister to give up Fuzhou."
Give up... give up Fuzhou.
Bayev's mouth twitched. "Do you think it's possible?"
"Then there's nothing we can do. If we can't persuade the Empire to give up, then we can only agree to the conditions on the Mountain City side. However, this matter requires careful negotiation with them. Maybe..."
"What's wrong?" Bayev asked sideways.
"They want money." Levsky coughed. "They are ministers with full powers. They are human beings and have weaknesses, don't they?"
If the empire can get some money back, I can talk to Zhou Weiguo and reduce some direct aid. Then the money will be doubled.
I think Zhou Weiguo would not refuse such a thing.
"I'll report to the Empire."
In the county town, at the Japanese military supply warehouse, Fang Shengli looked at the food piled up in the warehouse and shook his head repeatedly; "What a pity, what a pity."
"What a pity?" Ono's voice came from behind. He brought his men to follow the first battalion, and got a lot of good things.
Now, Chen Qi is working in the front. He came back to see what the evacuated Japanese troops left behind.
After all, the evacuation was hasty, and they definitely wouldn't take everything with them.
Sure enough, when he came back he found an ammunition depot, which contained a lot of grenades and Type 92 infantry gun shells, as well as some unopened rifles and bullets.
These can be sold for money. He was very satisfied, and when he heard that Fang Shengli and his men had come to the place where the Japanese army stored food, he followed them in.
Fang Shengli turned his head and glanced at him, then said, "Look at all this food, but you can't use it. It's such a pity."
Ono walked over with a cigarette in his mouth. After walking around, he said, "It's not a pity. We actually have a lot of things we can use."
many?
Fang Shengli pointed at the grains and said, "Who knows if they are poisonous or not?"
Ono smiled and opened a box, then took out a can of Japanese food. "The food is poisonous, but the canned food is edible, so this time, we haven't lost anything."
"It's strange. Why did the Japanese army store so much canned food but keep it here instead of sending it to the front line?" Shen Xin, who was following beside him, asked in confusion.
Paji...
Ono opened a can and took a bite, then said, "What's so strange about this? Canned food is already considered dry food. We're still easily accessible from the Japanese army's transportation lines, so naturally, food will be given priority if available. Canned food is generally only used when transportation is inconvenient."
"So, we got a great bargain." Fang Shengli asked with a smile after walking around.
"Of course. Anyway, our independent regiment's attack this time was not a loss at all. Not only did we seize so much supplies, we also seized some artillery and tanks."
The only ones who suffered losses were the Japanese army.
Ono took a bite of the can and sighed, "I don't know what the Japanese army is so angry about.
Special High Technology Department, Fujita finally figured out the situation.
The reason why Tanaka's right-hand brigade was defeated so quickly was because of the problem of supplies. These supplies were tampered with, and this situation was not only with the 13th Division, but also with the Hata Detachment.
"Let's go, we should report to the General." Fujita came to Anami Korechika's office with the information in his hand.
Looking at Anami Korechika standing in front of the map and preparing to launch a counterattack, he looked down at the information in his hand and thought to himself.
It is estimated that once this telegram is delivered, the offensive of the 11th Army will come to a temporary end.
"General, we've already investigated. Someone tampered with our supplies. Similar incidents have occurred with the Tanaka Brigade, the Hata Detachment, and several other regiments."
"The supplies have been tampered with. What do you mean?" Anami Korechika turned his head and asked.
"The two chambers we recruited from Shancheng were tampered with by the people in Shancheng. Our operation against the two members of Zhou Weiguo's team was aborted because of this incident. General Gaoqiao also died because of this."
"Baka!" Anami cursed and then came to the map. He glanced at it in a daze. On the map, the word "vicious" was clearly written on each of the directions the 11th Army was attacking.
"Can you confirm that those supplies have been tampered with?"
"I'm not sure. After all, in order to put pressure on the Mountain City, we have collected a lot of food from the Mountain City occupied areas during this period, and all this food will be concentrated in various cities for transportation.
The senior staff officer nearby heard this and said, "General, we can't determine the exact amount of food lost. I'm afraid our offensive will have to be temporarily suspended this time."
Anami Korechika naturally understood this problem.
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "Pass the order down. Retract your forces and evacuate in shifts, returning to your original defense lines. Also, immediately report to headquarters the reasons for our forced withdrawal this time, and emphasize that our shortage of supplies is our greatest challenge. We must ensure that headquarters secures our supplies before we can launch a new offensive."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "Next time, if we need to collect supplies from the occupied mountain city, the local garrison must go to the countryside to collect them in person."
If they are not one of us, we cannot trust them.
After giving the order, he turned to look at Fujita. "You, step up the investigation to find out what went wrong with the supplies. Otherwise, we'll have to discard a lot of supplies this time."
"Understood. I'll go investigate right away." Fujita responded and turned to leave.
His secretary followed behind him, carrying his briefcase. Only after he got into the car did he ask, puzzled, "Lieutenant Colonel, you've already made a conclusion, haven't you? Why didn't you tell the General?"
tell him?
Fujita glanced at him and said, "You are still too young. We have indeed found a place where this batch of grain is likely to appear, but we cannot reveal it."
"I don't understand." The secretary shook his head. Judging from the direction of grain transportation, this batch of supplies was sent from the Songhu-Hangzhou area.
Seeing that he was asking seriously, Fujita sighed and said, "Remember what I said. Although Songhuhang is controlled by our empire, the relationships within it are very complicated. If those of us on the periphery want to live in peace, then there are some things we shouldn't delve into. Do you understand what I mean?"
"But..." The secretary vaguely understood, but he still spoke in confusion.
Fujita glanced at him and asked, "But what?"
