Chapter 520 Let's talk business. Why are you pretending?
"What does he mean?"
After leaving the Prime Minister's Office, Sakatan turned around and asked Asaka beside him.
What we have to think about is what they will do.
"Aren't all intellectuals suspicious?" Asaka was also very dissatisfied with the Prime Minister. When will the empire truly stand at the top of the world when they are so afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind?
However, thinking that she did not directly answer Sakatan's question, Chaoxiang looked at the sky where dark clouds blocked the sun; "I think they are worried about whether other countries will intervene militarily."
"Armed intervention?" Bantan lowered his head and thought for a moment before snorting coldly, "Do they dare?"
dare not.
Zhou Weiguo was certain that European and American countries would never dare to interfere militarily.
As Germany becomes more and more assertive, Britain and France in Europe adopt an attitude of tolerance without limits.
Austria and Poland, if these two countries had been able to stand up in time when they were attacked by the other side, they would not be in the current situation.
"Although the appeasement policy protected their respective interests from the side, it also fed the ambitions of the little mustache. Similarly, their inaction here also fed the ambitions of Tokyo. However, now they have realized that the ambitions of the Japanese army have exceeded their tolerance."
On the first day Zhou Weiguo and Chao Xiang Xiuling were transferred to the Foreign Minister's Office, Fatty Kong met them in person in the office.
Fatty Kong wanted to know whether those three countries would resort to armed intervention to safeguard their interests.
Zhou Weiguo's affirmative answer made Fatty Kong breathe a sigh of relief and said, "So, their next choice should be to provide us with assistance."
"Yes, this is the only way for them to maintain and protect their own interests. It is also an important way for us to gain benefits from it. As long as we lose face, there will be absolutely no problem in setting up some weapons production lines."
Fatty Kong nodded slightly; "Just leave this matter to you, but the headquarters wants to know if we can get some air force fighter assistance from it."
The air force was wiped out, and the fighter jets and bombers obtained from the northern Soviet Union were used to protect the safety of the mountain city. As a result, the air force used for front-line operations was reduced accordingly. The air force command advised the headquarters that it could accept the aid, but it had to consider the air force.
As for the navy, they have acquired several destroyers some time ago, which are fully capable of meeting the needs of operations in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Moreover, these naval ships also need air force cover, so the air force requires a batch of assistance.
"They can't bear it anymore." Seeing Zhou Weiguo and Chao Xiang Xiuling looking at him, Fatty Kong could only tell the Air Force about his helplessness. But then, before the two of them could say anything, Fatty Kong handed a document to Zhou Weiguo, "You are fully responsible for this matter, and you can use the personnel of the Foreign Affairs Department as you like."
Having said that, Zhou Weiguo knew that it was impossible to refuse politely, so he could only nod and say, "Okay."
After leaving the Foreign Affairs Building, Zhou Weiguo looked down at the military green folder in his hand and asked Chao Xiang Xiuling who was taking out candy beside him, "I thought it was just a production line, but now it seems that Shancheng's appetite is bigger than mine."
After handing the candy to Zhou Weiguo, Chao Xiang Xiuling took out a candy from her trouser pocket and said, "The Air Force must really be unable to bear it, otherwise they wouldn't be so shameless as to shout at the headquarters to give them priority in getting equipment."
"Then what should we do?" Zhou Weiguo sat casually on the steps of the building. It was foggy today anyway, so the Japanese bombers wouldn't come. There was no need to worry about being bombed.
Chao Xiang Xiuling sat beside her, picked up a small stone nearby, and drew irregular patterns on the ground for a long time, saying, "Let's find Ruth and let Ruth persuade Robert to give the air force equipment."
"That won't work. It's too deliberate. It will expose Ruth, who is our hidden chess piece. Let's try another way."
Chao Xiang Xiuling said "oh" and lowered her head to think about something. After a while, she raised her head and sighed, "If someone mentions this to him, then let Ruth come forward."
That is another matter. Judging from Robert's way of doing things, he would certainly ask Ruth, and it would be natural for Ruth to express her opinion.
But the question is, who is going to say it, George?
I'm afraid Robert isn't even listening.
"Let's go find Levski. I guess they are trembling with fear right now. After all, if the Japanese army occupies the entire Shaanxi Province, shouldn't they and the Fog City be the ones who are most worried and afraid?"
Makes sense?
Zhou Weiguo stood up and brushed off the dust on his butt, and then brushed off the dust on Chao Xiang Xiuling's butt; "Come on, we haven't visited our old acquaintances since we came here, it's time to go visit them."
Levski was indeed a little panicked. A telegram was sent from the mainland, saying that the Japanese army attacked Shaanxi, most likely to occupy the entire Shaanxi, and then put pressure on the mountain city to force the resistance forces in the mountain city to surrender. The mainland meant that this must be stopped. To prevent the Japanese army from turning their goal to the empire after occupying the mountain city, there was another meaning mentioned here. That is, if it is really impossible to stop it, the only way is to divert the disaster to the foggy city.
One thing that is clear is that the mainland can only provide Shancheng with weapons and equipment for one division at most, and no more.
"Isn't this embarrassing?" Levsky walked back and forth in the room several times. With his hands behind his back, he looked at Khabayev, who had just become the deputy envoy, with some dissatisfaction.
Khabayev smokes a pipe, which is a habit, following the habits of his superiors and imitating them.
He took off his pipe and shook it in his hand.
Levsky, who was originally annoyed, narrowed his eyes when he saw his action. "Who are you pretending to be for? People in the capital can't see you like this."
Khabayev paused for a moment, then looked aside, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, tore it open and lit it. He had forgotten that he was not in the Empire's Foreign Affairs Building, but in the embassy in the mountain city. Except for Levsky, he was the most powerful person in this place. Who was he pretending to be for?
He lit a cigarette. Habayev sighed and said, "We can't stop it. There is no way to stop it. The empire's intention to give us is very clear. They want Shancheng to resist the Japanese army, but they are not willing to pay. This is difficult to do. As we say here, it's difficult for a good cook to cook without rice. It can't be done. We should think about how to direct the anger to the British side once they surrender."
"What are you thinking about?" Levsky gritted his teeth and looked at Khabayev; "Some local bastards are just trying to please the Prime Minister, and you are just following their nonsense. If the Japanese army really attacks the British side, do you really think that our empire will be any good?"
