Anti-Japanese War: My equipment is infinitely refreshed

"Why did you come here?" William looked at Cun Yunsheng in front of him, frowned slightly, his face full of helplessness, and after a light sigh, he slowly asked.

The two sides have collaborated many times before. In the past collaborations, they have cooperated with each other tacitly and achieved many goals together. Their relationship has always been quite good.

But the result?

Who would have thought that Cun Yunsheng would lead his troops to North Africa. His intention was very clear, which was to stand on the opposite side and fight against them.

In this way, the good cooperative relationship that had been established before would definitely break down, and all this was exactly the situation that William least wanted to see. He actually had complicated feelings in his heart, feeling sorry for this change, but also having a hard time understanding why Cun Yunsheng did this, so he couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng looked calm, without much change on his face. He just looked at him calmly, with a different kind of calmness in his eyes, and then slowly said, "Because everything should be over."

The tone was neither hurried nor slow, but it seemed to contain deep meaning, making it difficult to figure out what exactly he was referring to.

"End?" When William heard the answer, he was stunned at first, with a look of confusion on his face. Then his heart skipped a beat and he was a little dazed for a moment.

He really didn't quite understand what Cun Yunsheng meant. Why did he suddenly say that everything should be over? This nonsensical sentence made his brain work quickly, trying to understand Cun Yunsheng's intention.

"Yes, it's time to end." Cun Yunsheng looked at William's dazed expression and repeated it again. His tone was still so flat, but it made William feel that there was something else behind his words.

"Do you mean we will lose?" William quickly came to his senses, widened his eyes, and looked at the other party in disbelief.

In his opinion, the strength of his side should not be underestimated, whether it is the manpower, equipment, or past achievements on various battlefields, which makes him full of confidence in victory, so he never thinks that his side will lose. But now Cun Yunsheng's words are obviously implying that they will eventually lose the war, which he cannot accept no matter what.

"Of course, didn't you notice it?" Cun Yunsheng raised his chin slightly and said undeniably, with an expression as if everything was under his control. He did not show any surprise at William's rebuttal, but felt that the other party seemed to have not yet seen clearly the various signs and trends behind the current battle situation.

"Impossible. We are winning victory after victory on every battlefield." William retorted immediately, his voice unconsciously rising a few decibels. As he spoke, he straightened his body, as if he wanted to emphasize the truthfulness of his words in this way.

In his opinion, their side was winning battles on the battlefields everywhere, and they had the advantage both in continental Europe and in parts of North Africa. How could they possibly lose? He firmly believed that this was just a misjudgment by Cun Yunsheng.

"Really? Is that really the case? Do you have any follow-up troops?" Cun Yunsheng sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his smile, as if he had seen through everything.

He looked at William sharply, his eyes full of scrutiny, and just waited quietly for the other party's response, as if he was sure that the other party would be stumped by his words.

"You and I are old friends, so let's not say such self-deceiving words. Don't I know what's going on with you?" Cun Yunsheng continued, with a hint of impoliteness in his tone that only old friends could have, but when he said it at this time, it seemed particularly sharp.

He was fully aware of the difficulties the other party was facing, so he didn't buy William's talk of successive victories on various battlefields. He directly pointed out the crux of the problem, leaving William no way to avoid it.

Hearing this, William was suddenly speechless. He originally wanted to refute a few words, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he didn't know what to say at all.

Follow-up troops?

This is indeed their biggest problem at the moment.

They have no more troops to deploy, the troops deployed on various battlefields have basically reached their limit, and almost all the forces that can be mobilized in the country have been used.

Unless the workers in the factories who are busy producing military supplies are also sent to the battlefield, but if this is done, it will be a big trouble.

Once factory production stops, or the production speed drops significantly, it will have a very serious impact on the productivity of the entire country.

By then, the logistical supply of the front-line troops will be unguaranteed. Without sufficient weapons, ammunition, food and supplies, how can the battle on the front line be fought? This is a difficult problem that affects the entire body.

Although they tried every possible means, both intimidation and inducement, to make the vassal states increase production speed so as to provide them with more material support, the vassal states themselves had many difficulties and limited capabilities. After all their efforts, they still could not solve the problem fundamentally.

"So you are taking advantage of the situation now?" William sneered, his face turned gloomy, and it was obvious that he was a little angry.

In his opinion, they were friends who had worked together before, but now Cun Yunsheng was acting as if he was going to add insult to injury when they were in trouble. This made him extremely angry, so his tone became stiff and full of dissatisfaction.

"You can say that." In response, Cun Yunsheng did not deny it outright. His face remained calm, as if admitting it was no big deal.

After all, he came here to take advantage of the situation, just to see if he could take advantage of the other party's current situation where they were too busy to take care of themselves and get something good from it to gain more benefits for his side. So when faced with William's questioning, he was too lazy to hide his intentions.

Upon hearing this, William was stunned at first, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. It was obvious that he was also stunned by Cun Yunsheng's "shamelessness".

He never expected that Cun Yunsheng would admit it so bluntly. He was a little overwhelmed for a moment. He felt angry and helpless, not knowing what to do with the person in front of him.

"You are really honest." After a long time, William finally uttered these words. His tone revealed a complex emotion, including helplessness, anger, and a hint of surprise at the straightforwardness of the person in front of him.

He never expected that Cun Yunsheng would admit so openly that he was here to take advantage of the situation, without any intention of covering up. This really made him a little unsure of how to deal with it. Cun Yunsheng, on the other hand, was still calm, as if William's words had no effect on him at all. His face was as calm as water, and he just stood there quietly, with an elusive indifference in his eyes, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he just admitted.

"Of course, I have always been very frank with old friends. I believe you should know that." Cun Yunsheng nodded slightly and spoke in a calm tone. It was as if they were not in an opposing situation that might lead to war, but were just chatting as usual. It made people feel a little weird and yet with a different sense of familiarity.

"William, since we have been friends for so long, it's time to consider retreating." Cun Yunsheng looked at William with a little more sincerity in his eyes. When he said this, he really didn't want to see William fall into an irreversible dangerous situation.

After all, they have worked together so many times and there is still a certain friendship between them. Although their positions are different now, he still hopes that William can see the situation clearly, make plans early, and avoid ending up in a miserable situation.

Who knew that William still had the same expression, with stubbornness on his face and a look in his eyes that showed he was unwilling to admit defeat easily, which made Cun Yunsheng a little disappointed.

He originally thought that given the friendship between them, William should be able to understand the good intentions in his words, but now it seems that William still cannot understand his painstaking efforts.

"Do we have to go to war with each other?" William frowned, his eyes full of earnestness, and he still wanted to persuade Cun Yunsheng.

He really didn't want to become a life-and-death enemy on the battlefield with this former partner, so even though he knew there was little hope, he wanted to try harder to see if he could change the situation and prevent both sides from reaching that point.

This time, Cun Yunsheng changed his expression. The original indifference on his face disappeared, replaced by a trace of helplessness. He sighed softly and said slowly: "It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. I cannot disobey the orders of my superiors."

There was a feeling of being helpless in those words. Although he didn't want to get into a fight with William, military orders were like mountains and he had no way to disobey. He could only helplessly move towards this inevitable direction. However, his heart was still full of regret and helplessness about the impending confrontation.

"You don't have to work without putting in any effort. When we take over the Strait of Gibraltar, you can choose to surrender to us." William leaned forward slightly, his eyes full of expectation, and wanted to persuade again.

In his opinion, this might be a way to avoid a war with Cun Yunsheng for the time being. As long as Cun Yunsheng pretended to fight on the battlefield, and when they successfully took the Strait of Gibraltar, relying on their previous friendship and their own stronger momentum by then, Cun Yunsheng might choose to stand on their side. So he felt that this proposal was still very feasible, and he eagerly hoped that Cun Yunsheng would agree to it.

Who would have thought that Cun Yunsheng would slowly shake his head, a look of loneliness flashing across his face, and that loneliness seemed to be mixed with a hint of regret that William could not see the situation clearly.

He sighed softly, then said, "You can't take the Strait of Gibraltar." His tone was very firm, as if he had already seen the final outcome of the matter.

"The Allies will never watch you take the Strait of Gibraltar. Even if you take it, it will only be temporary." Cun Yunsheng continued, his eyes becoming deep, as if the fierce battlefield scene of the future had already emerged before his eyes.

He was well aware of the important strategic position of the Strait of Gibraltar. How could the Allies let the other side succeed so easily? They would definitely try every means to stop it. Even if the other side succeeded due to negligence for a moment, they would definitely try their best to take it back later. It would be impossible for the other side to occupy it for a long time.

"The Allies have launched a general mobilization for war and will mobilize more troops and weapons and equipment to support North Africa." Cun Yunsheng's voice was steady and powerful. He revealed the current actions of the Allied forces to William, just to let the other party understand that the situation was developing in a direction that was unfavorable to them.

As the Allies continue to mobilize and mobilise resources, the forces subsequently deployed to the North African battlefield will become increasingly powerful, and by then, it will be even more difficult for the other side to achieve its goals.

"Unless you abandon the entire eastern front, you won't be able to hold it." Cun Yunsheng frowned slightly and said seriously.

He knew very well that the enemy's military strength was limited and the battle line was so long. If they wanted to gain a foothold in the Strait of Gibraltar, they would have to draw forces from other fronts. The Eastern Front was extremely important. Once abandoned, the consequences would be disastrous. But if they did not draw forces, where would they get the forces to defend the Strait of Gibraltar that had just been captured? This was a dilemma.

This is not an exaggeration. It means that the Allied forces currently do not have sufficient manpower and cannot immediately gain absolute advantages in all aspects. Otherwise, Cun Yunsheng would not have led his troops to North Africa to break the situation.

Now Cun Yunsheng has to try his best to open a breakthrough in North Africa to buy time for the Allied forces and wait for more reinforcements to arrive.

After all, in this situation, even if the other side was lucky and occupied the Strait of Gibraltar by means of surprise attack, it would eventually be lost again under the subsequent continuous attacks by the Allies, so William's idea was simply unrealistic.

Hearing this, William fell silent. He lowered his head, frowned, and the expression on his face became extremely solemn.

Because he knew very well that every word Cun Yunsheng said was true, and the current situation was indeed extremely unfavorable to them. The problems before them were like insurmountable mountains that stood in their way and made it difficult for them to move forward.

This was also the reason why he came here. He wanted to rely on the friendship between the two sides and try to buy some time to see if he could find a turning point or come up with some new countermeasures.

Who knew that Cun Yunsheng had already seen through his thoughts and analyzed everything clearly, which completely dissipated the slight hope he had originally held.

"Is there really no other way?" William slowly raised his head, a trace of bitterness flashed across his face. The bitterness revealed helplessness and despair, and his eyes were full of confusion, as if he was a person who had lost his way in the darkness, eagerly hoping to find a ray of light, a possibility to turn the world around.

"Perhaps you can try to surrender gracefully." Cun Yunsheng frowned, thought for a while, and then made a proposal that seemed to be a suggestion, but in fact everyone knew it would be difficult to accept.

In his opinion, if the other side continued to resist as the current situation developed, it would only result in more casualties. It would be better to choose surrender, which would reduce losses and retain a little dignity. However, he also knew that for soldiers like William who had a strong sense of honor, this proposal was too difficult to accept.

"That's impossible." William refused without hesitation. His tone was firm, and a hint of determination and stubbornness flashed in his eyes.

In his opinion, surrender is absolutely unacceptable. Even if he knows that there is a dead end ahead, he must fight to the last moment. This is the dignity and bottom line of a soldier. How can he choose to surrender easily?

Even the so-called "honorable surrender" was not acceptable, so he rejected the proposal without hesitation. (End of this chapter)
