Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Chapter 850 The fundamental reason for providing you with assistance

Xiao Ya put the sake on the table.

As soon as Takahashi left the room, he brought up a few dishes.

"Didn't you just go out and have some delicious food with them? You're hungry again." Chang Guqing looked Xiao Ya up and down. No matter how much she ate, he had never seen her fat.

Xiao Ya smiled lightly and pointed to the place opposite her. "It's a bit strange to talk about things without getting something to eat. Do you want to have a drink together?"

Chang Guqing came and sat down opposite Xiao Ya. He personally poured Xiao Ya a glass of white wine. "Although your Shancheng Navy is weak, you actually have talented people. For example, your Navy Minister is also a capable person."

"You said Uncle Chen, he is indeed capable, but then again, his ability is more reflected in paper and theory. In practice, there is not much. You also know that our mountain city's navy is very weak. Now it is only supported by a few destroyers and a light cruiser. His actual operation cannot be compared with yours. Even in theory, he is probably not as good as you. After all, many places in our mountain city are actually forcing things to grow. To put it more bluntly, it is like looking for the tallest among the short ones."

Chang Guqing took a sip of white wine and nodded. "You're right. Originally, your navy was taught by the British, but with the demise of the Beiyang Fleet, you gradually fell into disarray, causing the navy to stagnate."

At this point, he hummed, "Since this dream has the potential to come true, I'll have to work harder."

"I'm all ears." Xiao Ya held her chin with both hands and looked at Chang Guqing.

Chang Guqing pondered for a moment and said, "You guys in Shancheng have a saying, 'Take the essence.' Military-wise, it's true that we're heading towards Northern Soviet forces. However, Northern Soviet weapons have a characteristic: they're tough and durable, but they're at a disadvantage in terms of accuracy. This is a significant disadvantage, but we can compensate for this by looking to Watsonton. Their weapons are indeed superior."

"You mean, we want their weapons, and then study them, so that our researchers can develop weapons that neutralize the advantages of both sides and are suitable for our own weapons. We also want to use this to make our own way."

Chang Guqing nodded. "About that. Maybe it will take ten or twenty years, but as long as you can get out of your own system, that will be considered a true success. Otherwise, you will be restricted and suppressed."

"So, take all the weapons you can, but don't take too many. You're going to dismantle them for research anyway, so taking too much is useless. Ask for their technology. This is your best opportunity. Naval production technology, heavy industry technology, hydraulic presses, and their engine production technology. They need you to contain our Empire's military deployments, and they'll definitely give you all of these. Furthermore, your air force and navy are your weaknesses. Asking for a few squadrons of bombers and fighters won't hurt them at all. And as for artillery, their howitzers are incredibly powerful in both range and accuracy. Bring them the whole set."

"General, will they give it to you?" Takahashi felt that Hase Kiyoshi was just daydreaming. How could the other party possibly give so many things?

Xiao Ya also felt that this was a really outrageous request.

"Do you know why Beisu gave you so many production lines?" Hase Kiyoshi put down his chopsticks and asked with a smile.

Xiao Ya pondered for a moment and then said, "They need our Fuzhou port to extend their influence to Southeast Asia and South Asia."

Hase Kiyoshi shook his head. "That's just one of the reasons, but not the root cause. They were able to provide you with so much assistance and production line technology because their top management believed that even if they gave you these things, it wouldn't matter. In their opinion, you simply couldn't produce them."

"I understand. Watsonton will also think the same way when the time comes."

"Yes, you're too backward. No matter what, you're several generations behind Europe and America. How could they worry about you being able to accomplish it? And your resources are extremely scarce, so they don't need to worry. This road requires Shancheng's own efforts to complete. Don't expect technicians and experts to really help you. That's absolutely impossible. Science knows no borders, but people do."

"I understand." Xiao Ya nodded and looked at Chang Guqing; "I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

At the 11th Army Headquarters, Anami Korechika was so angry that he couldn't even eat.

The Hata Detachment allowed the enemy to wipe out an entire battalion in one night. Even the Hata Detachment Command fled in a panic, leaving behind a large amount of weapons, equipment and supplies to Yamashiro. He wanted to remove Hata from his post.

But considering the situation, it wasn't Hata's fault. Who could have imagined that the Independent Brigade would actually attack Hata's detachment on a rainy night? He even felt a little grateful to Hata. At least Hata didn't do what the Imperial Guards Division did and let the enemy kill the brigade commander.

At least, at least he destroyed the radio or something.

"Has the air force been dispatched?" Anami Korechika asked, looking at the map with his hands behind his back.

The 13th Division is right next to the Hata Detachment, and they will definitely take action. Then the Independent Brigade will quickly evacuate after succeeding. What we have to do is to delay them in time and buy time for the Ono Regiment of the 13th Division to intercept them.

"They set out at daybreak," the adjutant beside him replied, adding, "Don't worry, General. With so much rain, their tanks will surely get bogged down in the mud if they try to move back and forth."

Anami Korechika had already considered this point and nodded. "Let the air force continue..."

"I'm afraid something's going to happen." Yamada interrupted Anami Korechika and handed him a message. "The air force has reported that they've encountered a comprehensive interception by the 4th, 5th, and 7th Squadrons of the 9th Theater Air Force. The two sides are engaged in a large-scale battle on the edge of Area 8 and Area 7. Our air force is unable to enter Area 7."

"Damn it." Anami Korechika quickly came to the map. The staff officer next to him quickly found area number seven and marked it with a pencil.

Just one glance and Anami Korechika felt cold from his feet to his head.

Area No. 7 is where the Ono Regiment is stationed, and they have been ordered to intercept the Independent Brigade. Now, the opponent's Air Force has actually blocked Area No. 7.

Yamada also realized that things were not going well. He pointed at the map and said, "Independent Brigade, they are not planning to raid the Ono Regiment headquarters, are they?" There was only a squadron of troops left there. If they...

Oh my God. Yamada swallowed his saliva. He didn't even dare to think about the consequences.
