Chapter 584 This war has become a vicious cycle
Several people looked at the Foreign Minister at the same time.
The Minister of Defense coughed and said, "You came at the right time. What? Do you have a solution?"
"I don't have a solution, but our allies have given us a solution." After saying that, he took out a telegram from his briefcase and handed it to the Minister of Defense; "Look at what they said, it's feasible."
The Minister of Defense was not very interested in the word "ally". He took the message lazily and took a look at it. He knocked on the table with his eyes lit up and stood up and said, "Why didn't we think of this method?"
He stood up and walked to the map, then took a pencil from the side and drew a route on the map.
"Ardennes Forest." Air Minister Goering's eyes narrowed for a moment and he said, "This place is deserted and uninhabited. We don't know what's going on inside. It's a good idea to take a detour from here, but the problem is, is it easy to get around inside?"
The Chief of Staff looked at him and said, "Can you think of any other way?"
The Foreign Minister knows more about the situations of various countries than everyone else. He coughed and said, "There is a saying in Shancheng that roads are made by people. Similarly, there is a famous saying in ancient Rome that all roads lead to Rome. I think these roads are made by people."
The Minister of Defense nodded and said, "That's right. The roads are made by people. The forest is just deserted, but that doesn't mean no one will go there. Moreover, if we successfully pass through here, we can directly reach the back of Machiru. Their hundreds of thousands of troops will be completely in our hands. Moreover, we can catch them by surprise."
They have been waiting for the Empire and Northern Soviet to go to war, and they also know that going to war with Northern Soviet is in the best interests of the Empire. So, their vigilance will be reduced, and by the time the Empire appears in front of them, it will probably be too late for them to react.
"Let's organize the documents. We will go to see the head of state later." The Minister of Defense made the final decision.
Changsha, Independent Regiment Camp.
Although this place is still some distance away from Changsha, the sound of anti-aircraft artillery coming from the direction of Changsha City can still be heard even here.
"The Japanese army's retaliation this time was very fierce. They actually launched a direct bombing on Changsha. I estimate that there are heavy casualties in the city." Zhou Weiguo stood in the courtyard, listened to the roar of Changsha's defense line, turned his head and said to Chao Xiang Xiuling beside him.
Chaoxiang Xiuling put her hands behind her back and looked into the distance and said, "If they don't work hard, then the materials that didn't belong to them in the first place will probably not belong to them anymore."
The navy is very powerful. If they insist on making the army give up what it has given, the Prime Minister's Office and the cabinet will make concessions.
If you want to prevent the base from making concessions, the only way is to show your military performance.
"Well, but I think Europe and America might not be happy to see them do this." Zhou Weiguo chuckled and turned to ask Xiao Ya next to him; "Is there any news from Ruth?"
Xiao Ya nodded and said, "A secret telegram came in. Robert urgently met with the British envoy Robert and the French envoy. In addition, Levski was not involved."
"Northern Soviet Union is temporarily under pressure from Berlin. They will not get involved. As long as the three of them get involved, it will be fine. So, do you think they will provide us with assistance?"
"That's what I mean. In particular, Robert has joined forces with France to urge the British weapons production line to transport them faster, and proposed to once again strengthen the restrictions on transportation to Tokyo and provide us with a batch of heavy weapons, including more than a dozen heavy artillery and machine guns."
"Very good, I know whether they will do it or not." Zhou Weiguo chuckled and crossed his arms; "I think the Japanese army will soon launch an attack on Guangxi after receiving this news."
Minamizo Akiko shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it won't happen so soon. The troops in Guangxi have not been withdrawn yet. It is impossible for the Japanese army to launch an attack on Guangxi at this time."
Zhou Weiguo turned his head and looked at his wife, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, someone will help us do this."
After the Japanese Second Army occupied the ancient city of Xi'an, the headquarters of the Second Army also moved from Luoyang to Xi'an.
There are many snacks in Xi'an. Nanzō Yunko has never been here to perform a mission before, so she is very curious about the local customs and culture.
In the past few days, she has been taking Nakamura to wander around the streets and alleys, tasting the local delicacies.
The smell of mutton soup with steamed bun made Nanzō Yunko stop and then she sat down in front of the small pond.
Nakamura went to order two portions, then ordered two side dishes and came back to sit down and said, "Miss, our people learned from Shancheng that Robert had an emergency meeting with Smith and others. The situation is unclear, and we don't know what they are planning."
"It's still the same idea. Our occupation of Xi'an indirectly affects the safety of the northern part of the mountain city. They are worried that if we do this, it will affect the surrender of the people in the mountain city. After all, there was a man named Wang who took this road before."
If one person walks on a road, more people will follow.
Once more people in Shancheng surrender, the empire's target will no longer be Shancheng, but Britain and the United States. How could they allow such a thing to happen?
Now the Northern Soviet Union will no longer provide material assistance to the mountain city, but in order to ensure that their own interests are not threatened, they will inevitably increase their assistance to them. At the same time, they will also impose greater transportation restrictions on the empire.
"Miss, if this goes on, I'm afraid there will be an inevitable war between us and them in the future." Nakamura saw the food being delivered, took out a piece of paper and wiped the chopsticks for Nanzō Yunko and said.
Nanzō Yunko nodded. "It has become a vicious cycle. The more fiercely we attack, the more worried Britain and the United States become. The more they help us, the more our offensive is hindered, and the more resentful the Empire becomes. This contradiction cannot be resolved."
After taking a bite of mutton soup steamed bun, Nanzō Yunko lowered her head and pondered for a moment before saying, "Just wait and see. If an appropriate opportunity arises, the first people the Empire will deal with will definitely be Britain and the United States. Because of them, not only has the Empire never been able to win this war, but they have also caused a large number of the Empire's troops to be delayed in the mountain city battlefield. It would be a lie if they said they didn't hate us. It's just that the Empire is currently wary of us."
"Fear?" Nakamura frowned and asked in confusion; "What are they afraid of?"
