Chapter 2218 The navy cannot be without its backbone
There is more than just an oil refinery.
There's still a lot of oil there, and there's a lot of stuff that hasn't been recovered yet.
In the past, he had also considered whether to intervene and bring all the oil there to the mountain city.
But when I think about it, a big tree attracts the wind. If this is really done, then the mountain city will become another hateful existence in the future, with internal and external attacks at the same time.
Sorry, I will probably lose the opportunity I finally managed to win by taking advantage of this war.
He gave up this thought, because Shancheng did not have the ability to control such a huge empire. Even if it could be controlled, it would only be for a short period of time, and it would be easy to be knocked back to its original shape.
He was not going to do this anymore.
But now, maybe there will be a new world.
"Yes." Zhou Weiguo followed Xiao Ya's intention and said, as for the rest, he couldn't explain.
Xiao Ya hummed; "Wherever there is a refinery, there must be oil. There is a lot of it there. Come to think of it, for such a small thing, they don't want to make themselves lose more things."
"Miss Xiao Ya is right. This is what I think too. Unless they can afford it, West Asia is no longer under their control. Otherwise, they will have to carefully consider whether they still need these three counties from you. Of course, this
I'm afraid Yamashiro needs to take some action, not too much, just to let their intelligence department know that we are in secret contact with the Japanese army, I think they will think about the problem."
"Oh God." Churchill felt that his brain could no longer bear it.
Just now, Smith told him a lot of things, and one of them was that if Shancheng was forced here, Shancheng might cooperate with the Japanese army, and then the Japanese army in West Asia would most likely launch an attack.
.
Robert did not have many troops at his disposal, only a few hundred thousand people, and an army composed of tens of thousands of local people.
Because I am worried that they will have bad ideas, I have always used them but not given them real training.
These hundreds of thousands of people are actually part of the troops fought back from South Asia, and then formed from the forces in West Asia.
They all have different senses of belonging to each other.
This is the most abnormal thing about the army. The Japanese army has five divisions, and there are more than 100,000 local people.
Churchill was filled with resentment. In recent years, the empire had been too immoral and oppressive. After the Japanese army occupied South Asia, they carried out a series of propaganda about how the fog was. As a result, these people's emotions were stirred up.
.
This group of people opposes the empire as if they were shot with blood.
"Is it true that there is nothing we can do?" Churchill didn't dare to gamble at all.
He had gambled several times before and was injured all over his body. He did not dare to gamble on such a thing anymore.
In the past, he could ignore Shancheng, but now, he doesn't have the courage or the ability, because these people really dare to do it. After all, nowadays, there is no one more shameless than them.
.
And their shamelessness came at the expense of the empire's interests. Nowadays, they have changed a lot.
It seems that it is not the first time to cooperate with the Japanese army, but it will definitely not be the last time. The benefits will make them become friends from enemies.
Damn it, why did I have to attack that place in the snowy area in the first place? Why didn't I just listen to the advice?
The sheep that had always been soft and soft suddenly turned into a wolf that eats people without spitting out bones.
Smith picked up the teacup and took a sip.
In the past, he did not drink this stuff, but after coming into contact with Zhou Weiguo and his group, he discovered that this stuff was much more refreshing than coffee.
"Now, it depends on their returning fleet."
The returning fleet, what does this have to do with them?
Churchill hummed in confusion; "What do you mean by that?"
Smith took a sip of tea; "If the Japanese army intercepts their returning fleet, then even if they cooperate, they probably won't cooperate, because the Japanese army has broken their backbones. Do you think Yamashiro will let them go?"
Well."
Definitely not. He knew that Yamancheng's navy had been weak for many years.
Nowadays, this fleet is the only hope for the mountain city. If there is no hope, it will not stop.
"It's a pity. It's a pity that they have entered the area controlled by the Japanese army. If there is a way, we really want to send out aviation troops to assist them."
Churchill was a little sad. He didn't arrive first. Not long ago, he hated the departure of the Shancheng returning fleet, causing the empire to lose four battleships, an aircraft carrier and a shipyard.
Now, he unexpectedly discovered that the fleet he hated could actually bring him such great benefits.
Sometimes, whether it's good or bad, it happens in the blink of an eye, and you don't even have to be convinced.
"I hope they can succeed with one blow." Churchill clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
The vast ocean.
Commander Chen once again stood on the bridge and looked into the distance.
The fleet has arrived at area three.
However, within a radius of one hundred nautical miles, there was Area 3. He really didn't know where the Japanese army would be waiting for him.
But no matter what, today's naval battle will definitely happen, maybe in an hour, maybe in two hours.
"Send the order to go ahead and have dinner in advance. At the same time, let Zhiyuan take the other naval ships and meet us two nautical miles apart."
He wanted to personally lead two battleships from Zhenyuan and Dingyuan, five cruisers and destroyers to fight to the death with Ozawa's fleet in this sea area.
"Sir, how about you still..."
"Needless to say, back then Ding Gong could fight to the death and committed suicide in grief and anger. How could we, the soldiers, be greedy for life and afraid of death?" Chief Chen raised his hand slightly to stop the adjutant from continuing.
The adjutant knew that he could not persuade him, so he could only go back to the command tower and take the helmet and hand it to Chief Chen.
Chief Chen fastened his helmet and then raised his binoculars again.
In the distance, the blue sky is clear, and a flock of seagulls are flying in the sky.
The calm and peaceful scene made Chief Chen touch the paint smeared on the bridge: "Old man, you have to strive for success. Whether our Shancheng Navy can stand up again depends on today's battle."
Whether he can keep the enemy out of the country from now on depends on who wins and who loses in today's bloody battle. He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that if Shancheng's navy is defeated, he will really not be able to stand up from now on.
.
A navy without its backbone is just an empty shell after all. He doesn't need such an empty shell. Instead of doing this, it would be better to die to thank the world.
