EBE Chapter 1225 We absolutely cannot let them do this.
Chapter 1225 We absolutely cannot let them do this.
Both of their worldviews were shattered.
So many people were killed, just to save more people.
This sounds reasonable, but upon closer inspection, it seems... it doesn't quite make sense.
"No, Brother Zhao, it doesn't seem like we can calculate it that way."
"Then what else can we do? Should we just stand by and let them beat us, or should we let them go and then more people come out to oppose us? Wouldn't killing them be a way to intimidate a group of people and make them afraid to attack us?"
With a 37-step opening, Zhao Shoutian's outstretched arms immediately silenced the two men.
What else can they say?
"Come on, come on, there's nothing to see here. It seems like the command post is having barbecue today. Let me tell you, you guys..."
Wow……
Darwan and Darmin vomited on the spot.
Zhao Shoutian stared at the two people in front of him, and it took him a while to react.
He sniffed, then, realizing what was happening, scoffed, "It's nothing, why are you two so scared?"
The Special Affairs Department was gone just like that. News of this uproar spread rapidly in the surrounding areas.
Several tribes that had originally wanted to make a good impression on the Northern Soviet Union were terrified upon hearing the news. They dared not have any further thoughts about the passing army, and even slaughtered chickens and sheep to entertain them.
Since the Japanese army did not attack, Zhou Weiguo did not think it would make any difference whether he arrived earlier or later. Therefore, if you dare to entertain me, I dare to stay.
Firstly, it was to allow Asaka Shurei's propaganda team to properly publicize the purpose of the army's entry, and secondly, to introduce the current international status of the mountain city.
Although a large part of this is fabricated, it doesn't matter much. After all, these people don't really understand the situation in Shancheng, and besides, it's all about putting others down. The Northern Soviet Union allowed Shancheng to come in because they couldn't take care of you Outer Oirat, so you have to accept certain things.
Secondly, he also wanted to show these people the current military equipment in the mountain city, and whether they could withstand it. If they thought they were reckless, they could try it. If not, they would better behave themselves.
On the very night they stayed in this tribe, Zhou Weiguo's appointment was announced.
"I...I'm here as acting brigade commander? This is no joke." Fang Shengli stared at the appointment, typing the telegram for a long time, seemingly unable to process what he was seeing. "How can I command such a massive force? This is going to kill me!"
Hey hey hey...
Nanzo Akiko pointed to the telegram: "Can you see it clearly? The Eastern Defense Zone is composed of the Independent Brigade, the Provisional 59th Division of the 7th Army, and one division of the 59th Army. The command post is located in the Independent Brigade. What do you have to worry about?"
Fang Shengli nodded repeatedly after carefully reading the telegram; "That puts my mind at ease."
"Look at your lack of ambition. With your abilities, you think you can't even lead a brigade?"
Fang Shengli certainly believed he could, but he was limited to commanding infantry; this independent brigade was an armored mechanized brigade. Most people couldn't handle it. He could deploy the same tactics and methods and then see how his troops performed, while Lao Zhou adjusted his strategies based on the battlefield situation.
In this respect alone, he cannot compare.
"If that's the case, then I have no problem." Fang Shengli felt his back straighten considerably and turned to ask Zhou Weiguo, who was sitting next to him, "What are your plans?"
"Deploy what?" Zhou Weiguo asked, turning his head.
"Naturally, it's the troop deployment in Area Eight. We can't possibly..."
“Area 8 is so far from the Japanese army, how can I fight them?” Zhou Weiguo pointed ahead; “Push forward, push it to Area 12.”
What?
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
Takeshita Shun glanced up at Zhou Weiguo; "According to the agreement, our area is in Zone 8. Anything beyond that is outside our jurisdiction. Are you planning to break the agreement?"
He knew Zhou Weiguo was a daring scoundrel, but he never expected him to be this audacious. He actually intended to go directly to the entire region.
“Just find a reason.” Zhou Weiguo said, a cigarette dangling from his lips. “There are no Japanese soldiers here, but these bandits not only robbed our land, but they also dared to run to other areas. This is a provocation against the dignity of our mountain city, and also a provocation against the military discipline between us and the Northern Soviet Union. How can we allow such a thing to happen?”
"That's too far-fetched." Keiko Kobayashi shook her head. "This reason is just too weak. Can't you come up with a more suitable reason?"
Chao Xiangxiu sighed, “The people of the Outer Oirat tribes are being attacked by bandits. As a righteous force, how can we sit idly by?”
Okay, that reason sounds a little better.
They were all killed.
Moxike. Tonyev stared at the telegram in his hand, unable to believe what he was seeing.
The mountain city's army wiped out an entire tribe simply because the enemy, numbering less than four thousand, blocked their path.
“This is something a human being is capable of doing.” Tonyf held the telegram and waved it around, saying to the people around him, “Protest! We must protest. This is undermining the harmony between our two countries. This is an inhumane act, and we must protest against it.”
The others remained silent.
No matter how much they protested, Shancheng never recognized the Outer Oirat as independent. On their military maps, they always included the Outer Oirat as part of themselves; they never considered these areas as the territory of a single country.
“Our protests are probably futile.” One of them muttered, making Tony look up. “What did you say?”
“General, our protests are useless. They have never recognized that the Outer Oirat are different.”
Even though they didn't control the Outer Oirat region at all, in their eyes, it was always their mountain city.
If you protest, they will say it's an internal problem for them.
"Damn it, these people are really cunning. With what they've done, some tribes will probably be wary of their power, and then our control over them will become weaker and weaker."
So weak that nothing is left.
This is not what I want to see, nor is it what the Prime Minister is happy to see, nor is it what the Empire wants to see.
“We must stop this. We absolutely cannot allow this to happen. You should know what it will mean for us if this continues.” Tony seemed to be trying to bolster his own morale, and after finishing, he added fiercely, “We absolutely cannot let them continue to be so arrogant.”
