Chapter 773 This loss cannot be in vain
Xiao Ya grew up being spoiled, and Takeshita Jun had heard Zhou Weiguo say this countless times.
Looking at the way these two people talked, he suspected that it was really God's blessing that Xiao Ya had not grown up in such an environment.
"Well?" Zhou Jixian turned to look at Uncle Li next to him. "Put away all the gold and silver in the house. We'll run away tomorrow. Also, we have 100,000 kilograms of grain in the warehouse. Sprinkle some medicine on it and send it to the train station."
Anyway, Xiao's father has already sent over 300,000 kilograms of grain, so he doesn't lack his own 100,000 kilograms.
Poisoning someone to death is one thing, right?
Zhou Weiguo and two others walked slowly towards Suzhou.
No one is more familiar with Suzhou than Zhou Weiguo and Xiao Ya.
The weather was very hot today. Zhou Weiguo and the other two looked at the tea stall in the distance and planned to take a short rest there before going into the city.
"Have you heard that the Zhou and Xiao families went out of the city yesterday to collect food donations, but were attacked on the way and were killed."
"I heard that too. I heard that not only were they killed, but their bodies were burned."
"Serves them right. These traitors should have been killed long ago. I don't know which hero he is. I really want to meet him."
"Be careful, don't let the Special High Technology Department hear you."
……
"Awen, this is not talking about our family, is it?" Xiao Ya asked after picking up the tea bowl and taking a sip.
Chaoxiang Xiuling thought for a moment and then looked over to the side with a smile. "Wait a minute, I'll go ask."
I ran towards Xiuling and became friends with her within a few minutes, then I figured out what was going on.
After returning, she nodded and said, "It's our family. Yesterday, my father and my eldest sister's father went to town to hold a fundraising event for the Japanese army. On their way back, they were attacked by local guerrillas and killed. We only found him this morning."
"Will the guerrillas take action?"
This is impossible. My father is essentially a double agent, collecting intelligence from the Second Division while also collecting intelligence from the cave dwellings. The higher-ups all know about my father.
They can't let the guerrillas take action.
"Let's go to the scene and take a look at the situation." Zhou Weiguo put down the tea bowl.
The accident site was nearly ten kilometers away from here, and it took the three of them nearly an hour to get there.
There was no one here anymore, only a car that was burned to the point of falling apart.
Chaoxiang Xiuling looked at this place, then looked around and said, "This is not a suitable place for an ambush, is it?"
She had just gone out for a walk, wondering if the guerrillas had dug a tunnel and hid inside it before launching an ambush, but there were no signs of digging around.
"Awen, take a look at this." Xiao Ya came to Zhou Weiguo and handed a bullet shell in her hand to Zhou Weiguo.
"German-made Mauser pistol bullets." Zhou Weiguo picked it up, took a look at it, then threw the shell away and said to the two men, "It seems that there is no need for us to enter Suzhou City anymore."
The guerrillas could not afford this kind of gun. Even the Central Army used it very rarely. However, their own squads were equipped with this kind of equipment.
"There must have been some kind of emergency, so Takeshita Shun and the others took action and took my father and the others away." Asaka Hiderei sat down on the ground and pointed at the burnt vehicle. "I don't believe there wasn't gasoline poured on it."
If the gasoline hadn't been poured on the car, it wouldn't have burned like this.
"That's right. Let's not go into the city. Let's go to Shanghai."
Going to Shanghai?
Chaoxiang Xiuling and Xiao Ya looked at each other, then they thought of something and said, "Are we going to Tokyo?"
Tokyo is a good place, and this season is a good time for people to travel. However, this is only for local people, not for the top brass at the base.
They all knew very well that beneath the prosperous appearance, there were difficulties and holes caused by the constant entanglement of enemies and indirect enemies.
At the Prime Minister's Office, Hiranuma Keiichirō, who had recently assumed the office, waited for the Foreign Minister to come in. He handed the Foreign Minister a document on the desk. "This is a document jointly submitted by General Okamura Yasuji, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army General Headquarters, and General Sakatan Seishirō. Please take a look and see if it is feasible."
If you hadn't asked me to come over, I think it would definitely not be feasible, but now, if he said no, it would be impossible.
Otherwise, why did you call me here?
He took it and looked through the document.
The content is to ask the United States to abandon its restrictions on the transportation of materials to the empire.
Second, the United States needs to make certain compensation to the empire, especially in terms of military supplies.
"I'm afraid they won't agree. After all, one of the reasons why our empire suspended its offensive in Southeast Asia is that they were worried about our expansion, so they threatened war."
Hiranuma Keiichiro hummed. "I understand that, of course, but this agreement isn't off-limits. In short, our empire has suffered a loss in this matter, and what we need to do now is make amends. We absolutely cannot accept this loss in silence."
"Since the Prime Minister has said so, I will arrange for someone to go there later."
The special envoy stationed in Tokyo is called Wilson, who is in his forties. He is a foreign affairs officer who was transformed from a soldier. Compared with other foreign affairs officers who are good at talking, he lacks this ability, but he is better than others in using the empire to threaten others.
Therefore, after the negotiators sent by the Foreign Minister stated their purpose, Wilson simply evaded them with a few words.
"Your Excellency, we directly rejected their proposal. Will this cause dissatisfaction among them?" The secretary came to his side, looked at the Japanese foreign affairs personnel who had already boarded the car and left, and said, "My Empire is not prepared to go to war with anyone."
The original threat of war was just talk.
Tokyo sensed the threat and halted its offensive against the railway and its offensive against Southeast and South Asia.
They have suffered a great loss, and accordingly, they need to make up for it in other ways.
This incident was caused by the empire, so the empire should have provided some appeasement from the side rather than rejecting it indirectly.
This... this is unwise behavior.
"We've put so much effort into this, all for the purpose of curbing their access to resources and preventing them from preparing for further war. If we give in on these two matters, then all our efforts will be in vain."
The secretary nodded. "Your Excellency, the Special Envoy is right. However, this will cause relations between us and Tokyo to plummet again. If this continues, the conflict between the two sides will probably escalate to a peak, which will be detrimental to the future policies of our Empire."
damage?
Wilson looked at his secretary and smiled. "I know what you mean, but would they dare to do that?"
