Chapter 1061 You should know what that person means to us
Need to confirm something?
what's up.
Now, nothing should be able to influence our decisions anymore.
"what you mean?"
Okamura Neiji cared a lot about this matter. He did not believe that Nanzo Yunko did not want to help the two of them escape this miserable fate.
"We need to determine one thing: whether Kiyoshi Kōzuki has been bribed by Zhou Weiguo."
If he can bribe you, Okamura Neiji, why can't you bribe Katsuki Kiyoshi?
There was one more thing she needed to remind them of, so before the two had made a judgment, she spoke again: "Zhou Weiguo wasn't with the Independent Brigade not long ago. Although we don't know his whereabouts, we should be able to glean some clues from Terauchi Hisaichi's actions recently. He might have already hooked up with someone like Terauchi Hisaichi."
“That’s very likely,” Yamadajima said after taking a deep breath. “The 4th Division is no good.”
With the 4th Division, which doesn't even acknowledge its own ancestors, it's highly unlikely that Terauchi Hisaichi wouldn't collude with Zhou Weiguo.
"Kiyoshi Kazuki, I doubt many of his subordinates know Zhou Weiguo," Okamura Neiji asked tentatively.
He was somewhat reluctant to let this opportunity slip by; once it was gone, it would be gone forever, and the chances of getting rid of Zhou Weiguo in the future would be very slim.
Nanzo Yunzi didn't explain; some things are easier to misunderstand the more you explain them.
After pondering for a moment, Yamadajima said, "Let's wait and see."
Last time, to avoid trouble, several of them secretly came here after Zhou Weiguo arrived in Tokyo. This had unwittingly offended that scoundrel. Although he hadn't said anything, it wasn't because he was easy to talk to; rather, he couldn't find them, so the matter was only vaguely resolved. But if this wasn't handled well, and he reconnected with Kōzuki Seiji, Kōzuki Seiji would betray them without hesitation. So…
For now, it's best for the group to refrain from making any rash moves to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.
Okamura Neiji looked up, puzzled. "Time waits for no one."
Once you miss it, it's even harder to find such an opportunity again.
Yamadajima picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip; "We weren't exactly familiar with Zhou Weiguo either."
Okamura Neiji stopped talking, only clutching his chest tightly; he was unwilling to accept this.
Prince Asaka, who was sitting in his own home at the moment, was equally unwilling to accept this.
Prince Asaka didn't learn until evening that the 14th Division had used poison gas. At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to shoot Tani Hisao on the spot.
"It's over, it's all over now." Asaka slapped her thigh and stood up, saying to the butler beside her, "Get ready, I'm going to Sakata-kun's place."
He needs an explanation from Bantan, or rather, he needs an explanation from the Prime Minister.
Today, Bantan is not at headquarters, but at the Prime Minister's Office discussing the next steps for the troops with the Prime Minister.
In particular, should the 4th Army in South Asia continue its advance southward to expand its gains in South Asia, or should it temporarily halt its offensive in South Asia, allowing the 4th Army to cooperate with the 21st Army stationed in Guangzhou to launch an attack from the south towards the southwest of the mountain city?
This is a difficult question to decide.
Because of the British retreat, the Empire could directly rid itself of this adversary, just like the demarcation line they had secretly drawn together, thus preventing further conflict. However, this had a drawback: resources.
Although the north has some resources, the south has more resources and a larger population.
The problem is that if they continue, it will escalate the war with the British. The cabinet is somewhat reluctant to do so.
Therefore, a second option emerged: to attack the mountain city.
However, the mountain town didn't have that many supplies and resources. Moreover, the people of the mountain town were incredibly fearless, something Bantan had personally experienced.
Even though they ultimately failed to hold out, their soldiers were fearless in the face of death.
It's all about the attitude that I don't care whether I live or die, but you have to die.
So when he couldn't make a decision, he came to the Prime Minister's residence.
The problem is that even the Prime Minister is undecided. Berlin is willing to let the Reich participate in the war against the United States. They have already paved the way and all they need is for the Reich to enter. If the Reich does not enter, then no one can predict what decision Berlin will make.
He had discussed this matter with His Majesty several times, and His Majesty's intention was to come up with a proper solution.
He really didn't know how to define "proper" in this "proper solution".
Before the issue could be fully explained, the secretary reported that Prince Asaka had arrived.
As a high-ranking military officer in the royal family, the Prime Minister naturally gave him face, so he personally got up to welcome him in and asked, "Your Highness, what brings you here?"
These guys didn't say anything about needing to hold a military meeting.
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister has misunderstood. I am here to see the Minister of the Army."
The cold tone revealed a lack of politeness. Sakata also sensed this dissatisfaction towards him.
After all, this person would always address him as "Sakata-kun" when they met him in the past. This was the first time he had addressed the Minister of the Army so rudely.
"Your Highness, are you dissatisfied with me?" Ban Tan asked.
Prince Asaka took a deep breath; "Why did the 14th Division use poison gas? I remember that the General Staff repeatedly emphasized on the agenda, even marked it with a red pen, that poison gas should not be used. Your Excellency, I hope you can give us a reasonable explanation, or rather, give the General Staff a reasonable explanation. We do not want to bear any undeserved blame."
"What's going on?" The Prime Minister glanced at Bantan, unaware of the situation, as he had been considering other matters these past few days.
Saka wanted to explain bitterly, but he didn't know how to explain it, since the Empire had indeed taken action in this matter.
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister may not know this, but the troops at the front used poison gas, and they used it right in front of the Independent Brigade."
The Prime Minister frowned, then, as if remembering something, said, "It's nothing serious, Your Highness is being far too anxious."
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I think it is necessary for me to remind you of a very serious issue. The Independent Brigade possesses poison gas, and their brigade commander, Zhou Weiguo, I think I don't need to explain. Your Excellency should understand what that person means to us."
