Chapter 1577

"...Our army must have complete autonomy. You are responsible for our army's logistics and supplies, and you are also responsible for the pensions of our soldiers who died in battle...Of course, because Japan is your common enemy, in order to express Our army is sincere, and I agree to supply you with a batch of weapons and equipment at a preferential price. Generals, you should be able to see that many of the equipment in our army are not available in other countries. Therefore, if it is really necessary, you need to sign a contract Confidentiality agreement..." On November 11th, Ouyang Yun said to Ang Boss and other Frenchmen in the Governor's Office in Hanoi Governor's Mansion.

The "Sino-British-French Military Alliance Agreement" is only a framework agreement and can be regarded as a guiding document.When the Chongqing government signed this agreement with the British and French, they never considered the life and death of the Northeast Army and the expeditionary troops of the Xuebing Army, so many of the treaties in it were very unfavorable to the Chinese army.Lao Jiang made it clear that the chariots and horses wanted to use the Northeast Army and the Xuebing Army as weapons, but he did not expect that Shaoshuai Zhang and Ouyang Yun had already reached a tacit understanding, and they wanted to draw up detailed rules for the implementation of the agreement separately from the "Agreement".

Ouyang Yun put forward several conditions. Ang Bosi and other military personnel can still remain calm, while Roland and other civilian officials have already changed their expressions.After he finished speaking, Roland stood up and said, "General Ouyang, do you mean that you are not going to abide by the agreement reached between your government and us? Then I would like to ask, since you have so many conditions, come in Why didn’t Vietnam make it clear before?” Then he said to Ang Boss: “Your Excellency, you have heard that, I think the Chinese have no sincerity to cooperate, and even harbor evil intentions.”

The military interpreter whispered Roland's words in Ouyang Yun's ear. Ouyang Yun glanced at Roland, slightly twitched his mouth full of disdain, and said to Umbers, "Master Governor, you really invited us to Vietnam for the sake of Against the Japanese army?"

Emboss nodded and said, "Of course."

"Exchange roles. If your army now supports us in entering Fujian to fight against the Japanese army, would you like to hand over the command to us? Please answer me truthfully!"

Emboss thought for a while and said, "I can only answer that I'm not sure."

Ouyang Yun glanced at the French generals and said, "Generals, you have seen the equipment of our army. Excuse me, are you familiar with our equipment? If not, how can you guarantee correct command? What about it? Generals, we are all soldiers, so we should speak the jargon as an expert. Your army can make demands on our army, but how to fight, this must be decided by our army. As for my insistence on Your side is responsible for our army's logistics supplies and pension funds. This is also out of prudent considerations—the ugly thing is, although I don't want to judge a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart, I must be responsible for the lives of my subordinates. I don’t want soldiers to become cannon fodder for no reason. Everyone, do you understand what I mean?”

Before the meeting started, Ang Bosi held a meeting with Ivan and Sachimon attended by the main military generals.Ang Bosi decided to cooperate with the Xuebing Army when he was in Chongqing. In the final analysis, he was persuaded by Mu Jiandie, thinking that he could develop a powerful armed force based on the French Indochina Federation, so that one day he could return to Europe and restore the country. Unparalleled feats.And after seeing the powerful armed forces of the student army, he felt more and more likely to realize this grand plan.After communicating with Ivan and Sachimon, they unanimously judged that the final winner of the Sino-Japanese War must be China.And from this, they thought that once China defeated Japan, they could hire soldiers to go to Europe to participate in the Restoration War.At the end of the meeting, Emboss concluded: "Gentlemen, I am sure that General Ouyang will put forward various conditions. I think that as long as it does not threaten our roots, we will agree to him. Do you feel it? What a good combination we and the cadet army are? They have guns, and we have abundant resources and considerable property. Gentlemen, let the cadet army help us resist the Japanese at the front, and we, stay in Drill the army of restoring the country with peace of mind! Gentlemen, as long as the Xuebing army is willing to sell us weapons, then we can recruit a large number of locals to form our army of restoring the country. When the Chinese completely defeat Japan, if we can get the soldiers If you don’t have the support of the army, don’t you worry that you won’t be able to defeat the Germans and restore your country?!”

Because the military has reached such a consensus and set the tone for this meeting, even though Roland and other civil officials expressed strong protests, which caused the atmosphere of the meeting to be very bad, it did not affect Ouyang Yun and Ang Bosi's final agreement. .

Soldiers look at problems more simply and thoroughly than civilian officials. Ang Bosi's reply is very interesting. He said to Ouyang Yun straightforwardly: "General Ouyang, you should have seen that we are not short of money. The conditions proposed by your army, we You can agree to part of it. But there is a prerequisite - your army must withstand the Japanese attack, otherwise, Indochina will be lost, we will not be able to collect taxes, and we will not be able to promise your army anything. I think this is good Yes, we can first invest in purchasing a batch of equipment from your army, and your army will use the money to bear the initial war expenses. Next, we will compensate you according to the situation of your army fighting the Japanese army. General, what do you think?"

Ouyang Yun looked at Ang Bosi with a half-smile, and said, "My lord governor, your proposal surprised me. I really didn't realize that you are still an outstanding businessman."

Emboss blushed slightly, and said, "General, I made you laugh, but I think this is the most fair."

"No, I don't think so. To be honest, I don't feel any sincerity."

Roland stood up and said angrily: "Isn't this sincere? It's such a condition, we all find it unacceptable!" After speaking, he stared at Umbers and said, "My lord governor, before you made such a decision, didn't you Should you ask me, the financial officer? The financial situation of the federal government, I, the financial officer, has the best say—”

He was interrupted by Emboss, who frowned and said to him coldly: "Your Excellency Roland, please don't forget your identity! That's right, no one here is more familiar with the financial situation of the Federation than you, but What I want to remind you is that we are talking about war-related topics. As the governor, I have the power to declare the government to enter the war system, and I also have the power to appoint a treasurer who is familiar with the war system!"

When Emboss said that, it was already threatening.Roland couldn't help turning pale with anger, and said with a flick of his sleeves: "In this case, please appoint a new financial officer!" After speaking, he turned around and left!
Ouyang Yun silently watched the internal strife among the French, with a hint of humor in his eyes.

Emboss glanced at him, feeling that his dignity as governor had been challenged, he stood up and said to Roland who had already walked to the door: "Roland, are you forcing me to reveal all the shady things about finances?"

Roland stopped.Two civil servants hurriedly got up and walked to him, whispering something in his ear, the latter let out a long sigh, and walked back slowly.

On Bosi said to Ouyang Yun: "General, I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Ouyang Yun waved his hands with a smile and said, "It's nothing. Then it's all for France!"

Ang Bosi: "Thank you for your understanding, then, what can we do to make you feel sincere?"

Ouyang Yun said solemnly: "Master Governor, I really regard you as allies, so there are some very real difficulties that need your help to solve. For example, the supply of food and oil. With your strength, these are not difficult to solve. It’s not too costly. But it’s a problem if we have to solve it ourselves.”

Emboss laughed after hearing this, and said, "So that's what you need sincerity, no problem, we can still afford this kind of sincerity. So, do you agree with my proposal?"

"Okay!" Ouyang Yun said briskly, stood up and stretched out his right hand towards him.
