The mountain city was not short of money, and he knew this very well. Since the war in South Asia began, the empire and Roosevelt had given them a lot of aid, most of which were traps and some of which were free loans.
But now it seems that if the free loan fails, it will definitely be impossible to repay it by then.
"They don't need money." Churchill said what was in his heart.
The technology has been given to them, and they can just learn and develop it themselves. You can't do that, so just give them the money yourself.
"No, they need the navy." Smith said calmly.
navy.
Churchill suddenly realized that Shancheng's navy had been wiped out a long time ago. They originally had a weak fleet, but this fleet had been lost long ago. Now they only have a few torpedo boats left in their hands.
Even for these ships, they did not dare to go out arrogantly. They could only go out secretly to deploy some mines.
"What do you mean, we assist them with some ships?"
"Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister." Smith nodded happily. For the first time, it was so easy for him to talk to His Excellency, the Prime Minister.
"We need them because until now, we are not sure whether Roosevelt and Robert's troops can hold it, or we can think that Roosevelt and the others deliberately failed to hold it."
It's a bit too much to deliberately fail to hold on.
Churchill wanted to say that this was impossible, but thinking of his own South Asia, he could not say this.
After all, it was because he believed in them too much that he allowed them to succeed, causing his South Asia to be in a state of fragmentation. No matter what he said, he would never forget this.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, if they are determined to go to West Asia, then there is no need for Roosevelt to fight them to the death there. Besides, you haven't noticed that there is something wrong with their fighting capabilities."
People who can compete with Mustache's troops can't defeat the Japanese army.
Is this possible?
Xiao Fuzi's equipment is much more powerful than theirs.
Smith's analysis is good, but the actual situation is.
Huaide really wanted to stop the Japanese attack, but he couldn't stop it at all.
The Japanese army took action too quickly. The air force they finally came over was killed at the airport. There was no time to respond.
Without air superiority, Japanese bombers were able to launch unbridled bombardments on their artillery positions.
Without artillery cover, the ground troops are completely unstoppable.
"You are right, they do have such thoughts, and since we have decided to cultivate the mountain city, naturally, we must also include their navy."
Churchill wanted to eat Roosevelt at this moment.
If he hadn't been too ambitious, maybe he wouldn't have paid so much.
It was completely a matter of losing his wife and losing his troops.
"You guys draft a charter and see how much is appropriate for them and what kind of warships are appropriate."
Churchill went all out this time. Anyway, he gave them so much, so he really didn't care and gave them a little bit.
Situ was waiting, and so was Zhou Weiguo.
At noon two days later, Situ was excited and finally received a response from the local authorities.
The other side has agreed to this side's request, but they also hope that this side can send troops immediately to help stabilize the situation in the southwest and prevent the Japanese army from threatening their safety.
Zhou Weiguo, who was drinking tea, put down the document with a smile, then turned to Situ and said, "I'm afraid this is the most pleasant thing you have ever agreed to."
"If you ask for help from others, there is nothing you can do about it."
After Situ finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Weiguo with some earnestness: "You... when do you plan to send out troops?"
"Soon."
Soon, when will this be soon?
Situ felt vaguely that something was wrong.
This group of people probably didn't hold anything back. They didn't plan to send troops until the supplies arrived.
But don't do this. Even if the empire has this ability now, he doesn't have the ability to transport so many supplies.
Don't forget, the Japanese army currently controls the air.
"You...you...you don't plan to wait until the supplies arrive before taking action."
Nan Zhongmei shook her head like a rattle and said with a smile, "How can we not? We are allies. Since we are allies, we will naturally help you as soon as possible."
Bah...
If I didn't know you too well, I might believe this.
But you are the kind of people who really know how to be honest.
But he...he couldn't say this.
Not to mention that the empire has demands from others, even he actually has demands from others.
"Yes, you are right, we are allies." Situ didn't plan to talk to these people anymore. He was worried that if he couldn't bear it anymore, he would beat these people up.
Even he can't beat him at all.
"I will go back and urge them to send the supplies back quickly." Situ and Zhou Weiguo talked for another while, and then stood up to leave.
Knowing that Situ didn't really want to be here, Zhou Weiguo rarely tried to persuade him to stay, and he didn't even plan to treat him to a meal.
Send Situ away.
Xiao Ya came to Zhou Weiguo; "Do we really want to send troops?"
Zhou Weiguo shrugged; "It depends on what our superiors above have planned."
They were deceived last time. This time, perhaps Commander Xue and the others really planned to wait for the other party to deliver the supplies before sending out troops.
After all, no matter how good the thing is, if someone doesn't give it to you, it doesn't belong to you. After all, this time, there are still five cruisers and frigates.
Zhou Weiguo swore that this was the largest ship Shancheng had acquired since that naval battle.
For this thing, not to mention that his navy is waiting agonizingly for it, I am afraid that even the people above the mountain city are also waiting for it.
Because these will become the vanguard of coastal defense in the future. Without them, anyone might come in and take a bite.
"I estimate that the two above will wait until the supplies arrive before letting us send troops."
Zhou Weiguo looked at the direction of the headquarters and said.
Nan Zhongmei shook his head beside him; "It's not necessary, we can actually send troops. And, as we just said, we are allies with them. Since they are so generous and don't say anything, just give the things to them."
Let's go. If we still don't send troops, this... this may affect our alliance relationship with each other."
