Chapter 1165 All Calculations Make It So-So
"Who are you asking?" Zhou Weiguo leaned back. "If I knew, would I still be sitting here?"
He picked up the telegram and looked at it; "But I'm sure there's some ulterior motive."
Seeing Nevsky deep in thought, Zhou Weiguo said, "Don't think about it. You can't do anything about it anyway. Leave this to us."
What will they do?
After returning to his embassy, Nevsky sat on the sofa and habitually picked up a glass of vodka.
Vodka was his source of inspiration; no matter how big the problem, just two glasses of poisoned vodka would be enough for him to figure it out.
This time, however, he miscalculated. He had already downed half a bottle of wine, but his mind was still a complete mess.
“Sir, since Zhou Weiguo said that we don’t need to get involved in this matter, then there’s no need for us to consider it anymore.” The secretary put away the vodka.
If he drinks that much, he'll probably have to lie here and sleep.
Nevsky thought about it and realized he didn't need to consider it anymore; he'd rather spend that time in bed and get some sleep.
In this cold weather, what are you doing instead of sleeping?
He was afraid of the cold, and so was Xiao Ya.
She also put on a cloak, then curled up inside the stove and wrapped herself in a blanket.
The sight of her curled up in a ball startled Hasegawa Kiyoshi when he entered. He looked Xiao Ya up and down, then sat down opposite her, picked up the tea that was warming on the stove, and took a sip; "Yours is cold."
Although it's winter in Kowloon, it doesn't seem to be this cold.
"It's innate." Xiao Ya glanced at her and didn't want to move.
"That's strange." Hase Kiyoshi reached into his pocket while looking at Xiao Ya; "How did you, someone who's so afraid of the cold, survive in the Independent Brigade?"
Independent brigades are field units, spending most of their time in the field. If there is intense fighting, they will be in the trenches on the front line even in wind and rain.
Isn't that place colder than here?
“There’s a saying that goes, ‘When you’re full, you think of lust.’” Xiao Ya stared at Chang Guqing’s hand for a moment before closing her eyes. “In the Independent Brigade, I had too many things to think about. I was worried about Awen, I was worried about whether the sisters in the Independent Brigade could come back alive, and I was also worried about where the Japanese army would attack. Once I was on the front line, I thought about even more things. When you think about things a lot, you naturally don’t feel cold anymore.”
Her mind was racing, and she had no time to think about anything else.
By the time her mind stopped, she was already in the brigade command post. There was a charcoal fire in the room, so she wouldn't be too cold.
"Then you won't feel cold anymore." Hase Kiyoshi finally took his hand out of his pocket, along with a neatly folded piece of paper.
Xiao Ya hummed in agreement, sat up, and asked, "What is this?"
Hasegawa Kiyoshi handed the paper to Xiao Ya; "It was sent from the Special Higher Police. After your troops went north, the Soviet Union gave you 400,000 barrels of oil."
Four hundred thousand barrels.
This is not a small amount.
Xiao Ya opened the paper and saw a question mark at the bottom. Judging from the handwriting, it should be Hasegawa Kiyoshi's.
She looked up at Hase Kiyoshi.
Hasegawa Kiyoshi leaned back in his chair; “Four hundred thousand barrels of oil. You may not know what it can do, but I do know that, according to my analysis, this amount is enough for all your tanks to use for almost a year.”
"You mean, there's a conspiracy?" Xiao Ya put down the telegram.
Hasegawa Kiyoshi shook his head; "I'm not sure, but I think there is. With their stingy nature, how could they possibly give you so much oil? Is there some other scheming involved? I can't give you a direct answer right now, but there's definitely a conspiracy."
Xiao Ya collapsed again, and in doing so, she not only pulled the blanket around her neck but also dragged the navy coat around her neck.
"You..." Hasegawa Seiryo was confused by Xiao Ya's series of actions. He pointed at Xiao Ya and then looked at the telegram Xiao Ya had placed on the table; "Don't think about it anymore."
Xiao Ya nodded and said, "There's nothing to think about. They're either using these supplies to make us scapegoats or trying to worsen our relationship. I can't think of anything else. We can't exactly say they're genuinely helping us, can we?"
reasonable.
After considering everything, these are the only possibilities. Hasegawa Kiyoshi couldn't think of anything else, so he sighed and changed the subject: "The Empire's expeditionary force landed in Canada this afternoon."
Click, click, click… click, click…
In Canada, even though it was pitch black at night, the small pier and the nearby beach were illuminated by searchlights, making the area as bright as day.
In the distance, gray-white ships lay quietly at rest on the sea, while further away, several cruisers were patrolling with destroyers.
About a hundred paces back from the dock, on a rooftop, two Type 92 machine guns were positioned at a high vantage point, next to a high-powered searchlight illuminating the distance.
Having changed into the uniform of an army general, Okamura Yasuji, accompanied by several division commanders, was smugly observing the elite force that would soon be fighting for the empire.
A force of over 200,000 troops is busy at the docks, helping to transport supplies. Armored vehicles and tanks are constantly disembarking from the transport ships. After assembling at the docks, they are then being guided out of the town.
Okamura Neiji observed the situation in the distance, then glanced at the division commanders around him out of the corner of his eye.
Overwhelmed with excitement, Okamura Neiji frowned slightly.
He guessed that all these people were thinking about was making a name for themselves and becoming the next Fifth Division.
No, no, they will become the pride of the empire.
Because the 4th Division, which has always been underestimated, is doing very well in South Asia this time.
Those cowardly fools, they actually managed to become outstanding individuals.
It's because the 4th Division has reformed.
That's definitely impossible; they're still the same as before.
So how did they become heroes? It must be because the British army wasn't very good at fighting.
That area was still their main defensive point, and they couldn't stop the imperial army's attack. What were the troops here compared to them? This was a free contribution, so why not take it?
Is this true?
That is indeed true, but is it really that simple?
