Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 1552 The Intentions of the British and the French
According to common sense, China and Japan are at war, and it is obvious that after Japan captures Vietnam and Laos, it will definitely invade China from the direction of Hanoi, so the British and French believe that the Chinese government will definitely agree to the request of the three parties to form a situational alliance.After all, if Malaysia, Vietnam, and Laos can be defended, the flames of war will not reach the Sino-Vietnamese border, which is considered cheap for the Chinese government.

The fact is that's not the case at all.It is very funny that China has been fighting the War of Resistance against Japan for nearly ten years, but the Chinese central government has not yet declared war on Japan.If there is no declaration of war, there is no reason to cross the border to attack the Japanese army. Of course, from the perspective of the British and French, this is actually an excuse.

The Japanese army's large-scale march into the Indian Ocean has completely changed the history of this time and space.In the time and space that Ouyang Yun was familiar with, the Allied Forces finally formed in Southeast Asia, which was led by the United States, and it was the US Army and the Chinese Expeditionary Force that played the decisive role in the end.But now, because the Japanese army attacked the Indian Ocean first, well, the United States has become a third party, and as a result, some things have become delicate.

The British and the French came to Chongqing together and asked Chiang Kai-shek to send troops to help defend Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia and other places. The reason was very legitimate, to prevent the Japanese army from opening up a southwestern front against China in Vietnam.But it also pointed out that the British must lead the tripartite allies.To put it bluntly, China only needs to send troops. As for how to fight this battle, the British have the final say.Lao Jiang is not a fool, and he has other ideas, how can he be willing to be fooled.

So, let the British and French people dry up their saliva, and he has an attitude: the Chinese government has not declared war on Japan, and there is no reason to send troops.

The British and the French also came to Chongqing to ask for help because they were forced to do so. Behind them, considering that Southeast Asia was originally China’s traditional sphere of influence, they were worried that the wolves would lead the way and the tiger would attract the tiger, so they emphasized that the three-party military alliance must be dominated by the British. .

The three parties talked for a few days, because the conversation was not speculative at the beginning, and finally Lao Jiang felt impatient and simply hid out of sight.At this moment, the British and French were completely panicked, and just when they felt they had nowhere to go, Tielin Fei appeared.

It was Zhang Shaoshuai who introduced Tie Linfei to the British and French representatives.

During this trip to Chongqing, four British people came, and the chief representative was a viscount named Huo Defu; while three French people came, and the chief representative was a major general named Ambers.

Lao Jiang rebuffed the British and French representatives on the grounds that the Chinese government had not declared war on Japan and had not sent troops. However, Shaoshuai Zhang was more concerned about this matter. In the words he and his subordinates discussed this matter: If you can not fight on the territory of your own country, you can avoid the war in your own country. People's lives are in dire straits, this is a good thing that can't be wished for, and the chairman of the committee has handled it a bit pedantically.

The central government represented by Chiang Kai-shek did not accept the fault of the British and French, but Mu Jiandie, the representative of the Xuebing Army stationed in Chongqing, expressed a strong interest.Zhang Shaoshuai understands why the Xuebing Army is so enthusiastic. Not to mention what happened after the Japanese army captured Guangxi, the reason of Hainan Island alone is enough.

Lao Jiang avoided seeing him, and the others were evasive. Huo Defu's so-called aristocrat lost his temper and wanted to throw up his sleeves and leave. At this moment, Young Marshal Zhang brought a young man to visit him and Ambers.

Hearing that Mu Jiandie was the representative of the Xuebing Army stationed in Chongqing, Huo Defu didn't buy it. The first sentence he said was: "I know the Xuebing Army, but isn't it just a warlord armed force?" The government dare not send troops to Southeast Asia, what can a mere warlord do?Even if you have the guts, can it be said that you can still violate the meaning of the central government?
After the young marshal introduced them, he left.The current political situation in Chongqing is very complicated. As the No. [-] figure in the central government, he must pay attention to influence, even if it is only to maintain the superficial unity.

When Huo Defu spoke rudely, Mu Jiandie couldn't help frowning slightly.Emboss saw it from the side, and hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "General Mu, please forgive Viscount Huo Defu's rudeness. The central government of your country is very unfriendly to us. Your Excellency Viscount has suffered a lot of grievances during this period. He did not despise us. The meaning of your army."

Mu Jiandie said in fluent English: "It's okay, I'm here to talk about the tripartite cooperation, not to get angry with anyone. I know the situation in South Asia, and I can understand the mood of Your Excellency the Viscount."

Compared with Huo Defu, as a fairly pure soldier, Major General Ang Bosi has a deeper understanding of the student army.He remembered some things he heard at the beginning of the year, and asked: "General Mu, at the beginning of the year, I heard that your army wiped out nearly 20 Japanese troops in Jiangxi. Is this true?"

"Yes. It was a war of extermination launched by our commander-in-chief in person. The Fifth Army of the Japanese Army had nearly 25 people, but only 33 people escaped in the end. By the way, the [-]rd Infantry Division under the army Shigetaro Amana, the head of the division, is still visiting Guangzhou."

"Did I hear you right? Is it the 20 Japanese army? Not the puppet army?" Huo Defu's face changed color.This viscount is good at pretending to be noble, but he doesn't know much about politics and military affairs.But even so, he clearly knew what it meant for the concept of 20 Japanese troops.

Emboss glanced at him, and said with certainty: "It is indeed 20 Japanese troops, Viscount Huo Defu, didn't you pay attention to the news at the beginning of the year? At that time, this matter was very popular."

Huo Defu looked at Mu Jiandie, saw that his face was calm, his eyes were as clear as water, he stroked his hair lightly, then bowed slightly: "This is the first time I've heard of this, General Mu, I I apologize to you for my rudeness just now." After saying this, he looked at Mu Jiandie again, his eyes became lively, and said: "General Mu, according to your opinion, is the Xuebing Army willing to send troops to Southeast Asia?"

Mu Jiandie smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, there is an old saying in China that those who do not know are not guilty. I accept your apology. The original intention of our commander-in-chief to establish the Xuebing Army is to destroy the Japanese army. Therefore, no matter where the Japanese army appears, As long as conditions permit, we will resolutely go to annihilate it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Defu glanced at Emboss and said, "That's really great!" Then he rubbed his hands and said, "Then, please forgive me for asking, when will your army be able to send troops? Do you know Yes, the Japanese have captured Indonesia—”

He was interrupted by On Bosi before he finished speaking. On Bosi was no match for this stunned young man. He heard the voice of Mu Jiandie's words, and scrambled to say: "General Mu, Commander Ouyang Yun vowed to destroy Japan The determination of the invaders is admirable. You just mentioned that the conditions are allowed, so may I ask what conditions must be met before your army can make the trip? The military situation is like a fire, and we really cannot afford to delay."
