Chapter 1188 We can't let them fight anymore.
"It's hard to say, it's hard to say."
Zhou Weiguo walked to a burning dead tree, squatted down, and stretched out his hand.
After grilling for a while, he said, "We need to be prepared for the enemy to attack again. All the tanks captured this time should be gathered together and placed under the unified command of Kuroki Ichiro. Also, send a telegram to Xi'an, hoping to quickly transport a batch of oil and tank shells over."
Some of the tanks in the mountain city were North Soviet tanks, and these tanks were produced on the production line. In the mountain city, there was an abundance of ammunition, but the number of tanks was insufficient.
Overnight.
The news has spread all over the world.
A division of the North Soviet Army that launched the attack was completely annihilated by three divisions plus an independent brigade of the Shancheng Army in northern Gansu. The division commander, Zharsky, was killed on the spot, and the deputy division commander and chief of staff were wounded to varying degrees and captured by the Shancheng Army. At the same time, the Shancheng Army also captured fifteen tanks, more than eighty trucks, and a 110mm howitzer.
North Sudan. Prime Minister Mosike's residence.
Josephine stared at Vedjev, her hands trembling. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could those monkeys possibly defeat my invincible Imperial army? You must be mistaken! You must be mistaken!"
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, if it's said that our intelligence personnel made a translation error, it can't be that the intelligence agencies of other countries all made translation mistakes."
This information did not come from a single department; it was gathered from information collected from various locations.
“Damn it, Zharsky really deserves to die. I’m going to shoot him, I’m going to shoot his whole family.”
After a long silence, Josephine erupted in fury, venting her pent-up frustration.
The Empire's army could defeat the Japanese army, and it could defeat the army of any other country, but it could not defeat Yamashiro.
What was the army of the mountain city? It was just a bunch of peasants.
He's just a peasant.
“Your Excellency Prime Minister, Zharsky has already died in battle. If we take action against their families, then in the future…”
Vedyev opposed this approach where the whole family suffers because one person makes a mistake.
This approach is unreasonable.
If every defeat results in the execution of family members, who will dare to fight for the empire in the future? If they fail, will they simply surrender, since they'll die anyway if they go back?
"Without rules, there can be no order. We need to let them know that the military is not a place where feelings matter."
Vedeev wanted to say more, but Josephine stopped him from continuing the conversation and lit her pipe. "Zarskiy's defeat will have a very bad impact on us. We must immediately build up our forces and strive for victory. You should know that we were defeated by Yamashiro, which is undoubtedly telling Berlin and Tokyo that our fighting strength is inferior to theirs."
Once they have this idea, nobody knows what decision they will make next.
Will they attack the empire?
This is a matter of the empire's reputation and honor; it cannot be left unresolved.
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Vedyev nodded; "I will arrange to handle this matter immediately."
Troops were being mobilized once again. This time, the North Soviet Union deployed nearly an entire corps, along with dozens of tanks and several air force squadrons, urgently moving them to the northwest.
Northern Gansu. Zhou Weiguo, standing in front of the charcoal fire, listened to Xu Hu report the news sent from the Second Division.
"Brigade Commander, this time they have mobilized an army and a cavalry brigade, seemingly to deal with the Northwest Cavalry. At the same time, they have also transferred three air force squadrons, fifty tanks, more than twenty armored vehicles, and an artillery regiment."
"As expected, what was bound to happen has happened." Zhou Weiguo chuckled, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
Poking at the embers with tongs, Zhou Weiguo thought for a moment and asked, "Who is their commander?"
"Zhu Kefu".
The name "Zhu Kefu" made Zhou Weiguo tighten his grip on the fire tongs.
This man later became a military genius. Although he seems unremarkable now, he will become incredibly powerful later on.
Of course, later generations have both good and bad opinions about him. For example, in the conflict with the Japanese army, it was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito when dealing with the Japanese 2nd Division. If it were a direct confrontation, he might not have been able to defeat the Japanese army.
"This person is quite capable. He has instructed all departments to prepare in advance. In addition, the field hospital should prepare more medicines. We may be facing a fierce battle soon."
We can't wait any longer.
Marcel also learned about the North Soviet Army's troop movements, which involved mobilizing more than an entire army. This was an attempt to vent their anger over their previous defeat and to show the world that their previous failure was due to their carelessness.
This attack would likely lead Yamashiro to make a new judgment. Therefore, he immediately took the message to Rosif.
"Your Excellency President, the North Soviet Army has once again redeployed troops to prepare for a new offensive against the mountain city. We cannot wait any longer."
The enemy's firepower and troop strength were far greater than those of the mountain city army.
The mountain city army is absolutely unstoppable. Once they succeed, who can guarantee that they won't fight with the mountain city?
If the Soviet Union could attack Chongqing, then why couldn't Chongqing cooperate with Berlin?
“You’re right, we can’t let this continue. Here’s what we’ll do: have Mike take action and use a submarine to attack their transport ship.”
Once fighting breaks out here, the Northern Soviet Union will realize that the Empire is unlikely to cooperate with the Japanese, so there will be no need for them to create a buffer zone.
If they still don't listen, then the Empire will tell them in another way that the Empire never wants the mountain city to become anyone's vassal, nor will it allow them to become a vassal of the Northern Soviet Union.
A secret telegram was sent to the non-professional governor's office via a military radio in a very small room.
After translating the telegram, Mike excitedly drank two cups of coffee in a row.
The incident involving Maria's merchant ship was eventually exposed, leading to a large-scale demonstration in the area. He had to execute several people to quell the incident.
Although the matter was over, he felt like he had slapped himself hard several times in the face.
The slap was given to him by the Japanese army, and he also gave it to himself, but he attributed everything to the Japanese army.
Without the Japanese army's sneak attack, he wouldn't have been able to make such a fool of himself.
He wanted revenge more than anyone else, but the empire suppressed the matter, which greatly displeased him. But now…
The president ordered him to attack a Japanese transport convoy.
Hehehe...
Mike squinted after reading the telegram again; "The chance for revenge has finally arrived."
