Chapter 1041 They've Already Abandoned You
What do you mean by "other considerations"?
Zhou Weiguo, bewildered by this guy, frowned and asked, "What are your considerations?"
Hirata Ichiro stood up and tugged at his uniform. "I am a general of the Empire, and everything I do is for the sake of the Empire. Of course, I also know that our friendship is long-lasting, but even with long-term interests, there will be times when we are separated."
“Speak like a human being,” Zhou Weiguo interrupted him directly.
Hirata Ichiro looked at Zhou Weiguo quietly and said, "We need to pay more."
Damn it, after not seeing him for a while, Hirata Ichiro has come back with such shameless behavior.
Zhou Weiguo glanced at Asaka Shurei beside him, who then took out another gold bar, tossed it on the table, and added, "Don't go too far, okay?"
Hirata Ichiro smiled and took the gold bar, then looked at it and said, "After serving in the military for so many years, I finally understand that nothing holds its value better than this."
"Get on with the business," Zhou Weiguo said after sitting down on the sofa. "Do you think Terauchi Hisaichi will make a move against me?"
Hirata Ichiro, who was placing gold bars, glanced at him and said, "What are you talking about? With your skills, how many people would actually dare to lay a hand on you?"
Your desire for revenge is too strong. If you were only targeting him, no one would be afraid. The problem is that you want to take revenge on everyone. Few people can bear the consequences of that.
Unless he is truly acting in the best interests of the empire, fearless of death, and unconcerned about the safety of his family, perhaps he would do such a thing.
However, we are all human beings, and as such, we all have selfish desires.
“There are very few truly great people. Everyone has selfish motives, even we are like that. And everyone knows very well what it would mean to target you.” After explaining this to put Zhou Weiguo at ease, he said, “Then let’s hurry up. Perhaps this time we can have a very friendly cooperation with you.”
In which aspect of cooperation?
After putting down Hirata Ichiro's telegram in Delhi, Terauchi Hisaichi fell into deep thought.
After the British abandoned Delhi, he occupied it almost without bloodshed, and then made it his command post, while assigning the Guards Division to defend Delhi.
Currently, his divisions are deployed in the south and northwest.
Faced with the British deployments and defenses in the northwest and south, he was also considering where the 4th Army should go next: should it continue to attack the British and expand its gains, or should it use the current situation as a dividing line to transfer troops to the northern front and launch an attack on the mountain city from the direction of Mandalay?
He couldn't make a decision, and the headquarters hadn't given him a definite answer yet. He was considering it when Hirata Ichiro's telegram arrived.
He had never considered collaborating with Shancheng before, but now…
"How do you think they will cooperate with us?" Terauchi Hisaichi asked his adjutant, Takahashi, as he put down the telegram.
After handing the tea to Terauchi Hisaichi, Takahashi said, "I don't know, but I think that since they came to the general, they must be doing something that is in their favor. And right now, the most advantageous thing for them is to hope that our army will not attack them."
Is such that.
However, the people in the mountain city should understand that if they only benefit while they themselves gain nothing, then this matter cannot be resolved.
"General, would you like to meet with me?"
Terauchi Hisaichi stood up, went to the window, looked at the now calm city of Delhi for a while, and then nodded; "See you."
Since Hirata Ichiro acted as the middleman, it meant that he had already made contact with Yamashiro and benefited from it. If I didn't meet with him, I would not only offend Hirata Ichiro, but I might also offend his two brigade commanders.
You can say whatever you want to that division, but you can't harm their interests. If you do, it's tantamount to declaring war on them.
Two days later, under the pretense of reporting, Hirata Ichiro led Zhou Weiguo and Asaka Xiuling into Deli City.
Delhi did not suffer much damage, except for several warehouses located on the outskirts, which were all destroyed when the British troops withdrew, and the ammunition, supplies and oil reserves piled up there were burned to ashes.
The factory also suffered some damage, but the city itself remained intact.
It can be vaguely seen that the people of Delhi are dismantling the city's fortifications and bunkers.
Asaka Shurei, who was in the car, glanced at the scene and said, "Master, it seems that they originally planned to fight a street battle with the Japanese army here."
The fortified bunkers had already been built. This showed that they were very confident. In the end, they abandoned the plan, which must have been a decision made by the British on the mainland, to give up some areas to satisfy the Japanese army's appetite.
This move is indeed hateful, but how could the mountain city let them scheme like this? It is time to retaliate.
“Winston is a shrewd man. Abandoning Delhi would firstly preserve the city they had painstakingly built, secondly allow them to preserve their scattered forces and concentrate their strength for subsequent defensive operations, and thirdly, give the Japanese a new option.”
There wasn't a single thing he hadn't considered.
"A well-thought-out plan, but I wonder if we'll actually do it here," Hirata Ichiro sneered, sitting to the side.
Everyone has a brain; it's impossible for me to just watch you scheme and do nothing.
"Hirata-kun, in your opinion, what will you choose next?" Since the topic had come up and there was still some time before they reached the command post, Zhou Weiguo thought for a moment and decided to ask Hirata Ichiro.
If Hirata Ichiro hadn't been corrupted by the 4th Division, he would have been a capable man, perhaps even a potential commander of a first-class division. However, because of the 4th Division, several brigade commanders dragged him into this quagmire, and now he's just another drifter.
Meanwhile, headquarters clearly intends to abandon this division. They don't even plan to replace the division commander; if they did, even more high-ranking officers would likely get caught up in this mess.
"Do you think I have any good advice for you?" Hirata Ichiro was a little excited. For once, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Weiguo. "I didn't expect that someone like me would make you ask us about our next plans and the plans for headquarters."
"You were originally supposed to take on a more important position elsewhere, but you were just unlucky. Headquarters has clearly abandoned the 4th Division, and you too."
Hey……
Hirata Ichiro gave a bitter smile and then stared blankly out the window.
