"Cooperation?" Sun Erwei laughed loudly: "Wang, I think you didn't understand something. Cooperation requires almost the same... industrial or technical level, do you understand? Sorry, I didn't mean to belittle you."

"You're right!" Wang Xuexin admitted this, because it is a fact.

But Wang Xuexin asked again: "Then, why do you spend another five million US dollars to buy viscous gasoline? In addition, I believe that directional mines and bullet mines have also benefited you a lot! If these are not enough for you and me,

If we want to cooperate with the military, then I think cooperation with Mao Xiong might be a better choice!"

When Wang Xuexin said this, Sun Erwei was a little discouraged, because Wang Xuexin did have the capital to cooperate.

However, Sun Erwei was still a little unwilling: "But we no longer need to cooperate with these things."

Sun Erwei originally wanted to say "learned", but using this word would make him feel embarrassed.

"We still have room for cooperation in the future, Sun Erwei!" Wang Xuexin replied with a smile: "Otherwise, there is no need for you to go to all the trouble of exchanging technical personnel with us, don't you think so?"

Sun Erwei was speechless.

Wang Xuexin was right. What the military valued was Wang Xuexin's innovative ability. The reason why Wang Xuexin was replaced was to affirm his ability.

But now he is questioning Wang Xuexin's ability, which is contradictory in itself.

"Think about it!" Wang Xuexin said: "You actually have nothing to lose, because it is not much different from me working for you, except that I am still here!"

This is actually a win-win.

The main reason is that Wang Xuexin knows that Yingjiang will also become the enemy of the Japanese in the near future. If he can help Yingjiang defeat the Japanese more ruthlessly, smoothly and quickly, it will obviously be beneficial to both the Eighth Route Army and China.

After thinking for a while, Sun Erwei replied helplessly: "Well, maybe you are right! I can tell them your thoughts!"

"Thank you!" Wang Xuexin said.

From a war perspective, it was the Eighth Route Army that needed Sun Erwei's help more than Sun Erwei needed the Eighth Route Army, because Yingjiang had not yet been dragged into the war and they did not have such a sense of urgency.

If there is any sense of urgency, Wang Xuexin believes, it is that Yingjiang does not want others to get the technology that Wang Xuexin may know, especially Mao Xiong.

Therefore, Wang Xuexin believes that he should make good use of this, at least before Yingjiang joins the war.

Sun Erwei left the three stores with some disappointment. He couldn't figure out why Wang Xuexin gave up this opportunity.

But seeing Wang Xuexin speaking so firmly, he had no choice but to do anything.

When the headquarters received the report from Wang Xuexin, they couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The chief of staff said happily: "Xiao Dongbei succeeded. He successfully convinced the foreign devils. Now it is cooperation instead of employment!"

The chief nodded excitedly and exclaimed: "What a good comrade!"

The chief of staff understood what the chief was talking about. Wang Xuexin had the opportunity to leave the battlefield and go to Citigroup, and he did so openly, but he chose to stay here... It would be difficult for anyone to do such a thing.

Decide.

At the Taiyuan First Army Headquarters, Okamura Neiji was in a daze facing the Luliang Mountains on the sand table.

He couldn't figure out why this battle ended like this.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army was clearly at its weakest after being blockaded and plundered. The imperial army also launched a surprise attack from its weak flanks. It should have been overwhelming and divided and surrounded the enemy. However, the current situation was a stalemate with the enemy in the mountainous area.

.

Okamura Neiji did some statistics and found that his idea was correct.

Under the "joint force" blockade by the Empire and Chongqing, the Eighth Route Army's guns and ammunition were too low to support this battle.

This can be seen from the seizures on the battlefield...the number of bullets carried by the enemies is generally in single digits, and many people do not even have guns or bullets.

The problem is... they have all kinds of highly lethal mines, and they seem to be using them as their primary weapons.

The troops in the front were unable to advance, and the transportation troops in the rear were always harassed by enemy guerrillas. Casualties were increasing but no results were achieved. This made Okamura Ningji realize that the imperial army could not win.

Because the empire cannot afford to use troops, but this is nothing to the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, Yoshio Shinozuka stepped forward and reported: "Your Excellency, General, we have received news... that Citigroup is transporting weapons and ammunition to the Eighth Route Army's non-security areas!"

"What?" Okamura Neji raised his head in surprise: "This is impossible, Citiland has no way to transport it!"

At this time, the entire coastline was blocked by the imperial army, and to the south was the Chongqing army. The Eighth Route Army was actually surrounded inland.

"They are using the airport in Chongqing!" Yoshio Shinozuka replied.

Okamura Neiji still couldn't believe it: "How could Chongqing allow such assistance?"

Okamura Neiji did a very good job in intelligence, especially in Chongqing where he planted and bribed many spies.

Therefore, Okamura Neiji knew that all foreign aid needed to pass through Chongqing and then be transferred to the Eighth Route Army.

How could Chongqing let this happen?

Yoshio Shinozuka replied: "According to intelligence, this is a transaction between Citigroup and the Eighth Route Army, not aid, so Chongqing has no right to interfere! The thing traded was the incendiary bomb used by the Eighth Route Army to burn down a tank brigade of our army on the battlefield!"

"

Neji Okamura punched the table hard.

Citigroup actually made a deal with the Eighth Route Army?

And the transaction was actually an incendiary bomb!

Okamura Neiji regretted it. If he had known this, he should have sent two or even three divisions to surround the weapons expert named "Little Northeast".

Even if the entire battle is sacrificed for this, it will not be hesitant.

Now, just because he was allowed to escape, Citigroup sent the weapons and ammunition that the Eighth Route Army lacked most at this critical moment.

Yoshio Shinozuka said cautiously from the side: "General, if we can't break through the Eighth Route Army's defense line now, after they get a large number of guns and ammunition..."

Needless to say, the Imperial Army will have no advantage, or the casualties will soon increase exponentially. Over time, the Imperial Army will collapse.

Of course Okamura Neiji understood this truth. He gritted his teeth and ordered: "Withdraw troops! Withdraw to the Yuncheng area to organize defense!"

"Yes!" Yoshio Shinozuka turned around and gave the order.

Okamura Neiji is as green as a stone.

His focus is different from Yoshio Shinozuka's.

Yoshio Shinozuka was concerned about the outcome of this battle, but Neji Okamura was thinking about...

If the cooperation between Citigroup and the Eighth Route Army continues like this, will the situation become even more unfavorable to the empire?

The Eighth Route Army can sell viscous gasoline today, but will it have more to sell tomorrow?
