Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Time goes back to one day ago, Taiyuan Dingxiang Tower.

After finishing half of the special donkey meat in one go, Huang He, who was temporarily transferred to Taiyuan by the headquarters, complained in a dissatisfied tone:

"Old Dai, do you know that the workload of my department is very heavy? It takes me a whole morning every day just to review the experimental reports sent by the subordinate departments!"

"so!"

"Can you please change someone next time? Don't name me and let me be responsible for the reception! I am a scientist, not a diplomat!"

Although Huang and Dai had not known each other for a long time, they even met only a handful of times. However, similar personalities, outlook on life and ideals have long since made the two of them "like-minded" friends.

After hearing Huang He's complaint, Lao Dai immediately put down the tableware in his hands and responded in the classic French manner of pouting, shrugging, and spreading his hands.

His exaggerated facial expressions and body language would make anyone think that he was really aggrieved.

"Huang, you are one of the few close friends I have in this foreign country. When friends come to visit, don't you people in the Republic of China pay attention to showing friendship to landlords?"

"Besides, I didn't come empty-handed this time."

"A naval commander, three school-level commanders with actual combat experience, plus ten senior teachers from the Burmik Naval School. Even the most demanding person must not be able to fault an advisory group of this level. ”

As the leader of a large force, Lao Dai secretly came to the Republic of China to visit the Eighth Route Army for only one purpose.

That is to be the first to fulfill the treaty in the Lend-Lease Act and use tangible benefits to stabilize one's most reliable and powerful ally, thereby further promoting the cooperative relationship between the two parties.

At present, whether it is the North African battlefield, or the naval battles in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Mediterranean Seas, the Allied camp appears to be at a slight disadvantage.

However, the failure of the "friendly forces" is not bad news in a sense.

After all, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish. As long as Free France can seize this rare opportunity, they can focus on development while Dai Ying and A Chou have no energy to make trouble.

In a few years, there is a high probability that we will be able to annihilate millions of enemies in North Africa, and even counterattack the homeland. This is not a completely unattainable dream.

It was precisely because of his ambition to fight alone in North Africa that Lao Dai was eager to send high-quality naval advisers to the Republic of China so that they could work together for the future of the Cross of Lorraine flag.

"Oh~"

The news about the naval advisor made Huang He glance at his friend and the middle-aged soldier on his left with interest.

Despite the small size of the thirteen-member regiment, the three school-level commanders are all capable of serving as captains. As for the ten senior teachers? That is also a rare cornerstone figure.

What's more, the head of the advisory group is also a naval commander.

That's right!

This man is none other than the famous legendary captain of the French system, a French sea knight who is proficient in destroyers, cruisers and battleships, Philippe Opoinou, who is worth 175,000 coal.

In exchange for such a luxurious military advisory group, it can be seen that Lao Dai and the decision-makers of Free France are really anxious.

After a round of mutual insults between friends, Huang turned his attention to the somewhat reserved legendary captain, then patted him on the shoulder and said kindly:

"Oboyinu, don't look at it. The Eighth Route Army Navy is just getting started. It doesn't even have a decent surface ship. But in some fields, we are definitely at the forefront of the world, even compared with the ugly country. And nothing less.”

"Believe me, Lu Province will not let you down."

Apparently, the Yellow River's convincing assurances aroused Philippe Opouinu's interest.

The naval advisor even began to list and exclude them one by one in his mind, guessing which related technology tree the ally had clicked incorrectly.

There is no way, the equipment currently in service of the Eighth Route Army is too convincing.

He had reason to doubt one thing. If the Republic of China was a traditional sea power country, then he might be able to see a few Alsace-class battleships in the opponent's naval battle sequence.

French orthodoxy does not exist in Africa, nor does it exist in Quebec.

If anyone has any opinions, come and take a tour of Taiyuan yourself.

"Okay! It seems that I will definitely gain a lot from this trip to the Republic of China. Then let's learn together and get better together!"

"Haha, that's right!"

······

After having their fill of wine and food, Huang He and his party were escorted by the guard platoon and prepared to return to the Governor's Mansion. Before leaving, looking at Lao Dai who hesitated to speak several times, he simply said straight to the point:

"Is something wrong?"

"Speak directly if you have something to say, don't beat around the bush."

"We are all comrades in the same camp, and I will definitely not hide my clumsiness."

Lao Dai, whose thoughts were seen through, actually became extremely shy. He first pulled Huang He into the Beetle, and then started to explain in French with a slight northern accent.

"We in Free France must win this route from Southeast Asia to North Africa. It is one of the prerequisites for the establishment of the Lend-Lease Act."

"However, distant water cannot quench the near thirst. In the series of battles that will occur in Southeast Asia in the future, the commander of the North African Army will not be able to contribute, so he can only rely on the Viet Minh."

"But there is a big problem with their thinking!"

At this point, Huang He understood the deep meaning of his friend's words almost instantly.

It can be said that the Viet Minh was a team formed by a group of intellectuals leading the people at the bottom, and it was extremely lacking in professional military cadres.

Let us not mention that there are a large number of opportunists and hedonists among those intellectual cadres. The military aspect alone is enough to give Lao Dai a headache.

From the beginning of the Japanese war to the surrender of Vichy, Viet Minh soldiers had been in a state of guerrilla warfare and basically did not receive formal military training.

This led to their performance in the process of fighting against the invasion of foreign enemies that can simply be described as a disaster.

The most troublesome thing is that many grassroots officers and soldiers in the Viet Minh have lost the courage to fight due to constant defeats and being chased through the jungle by the Japanese and Vichy.

Even the middle and high-level people are permeated with a shabby atmosphere.

In such a bad situation, how can we talk about the Southeast Asia-North Africa route? It is not easy to survive under siege and suppression.

After figuring out the nature of the problem, a solution immediately flashed in Huang He's mind. He opened the car door and motioned for Opoinu to get in, and then said to the accompanying guard platoon leader:

"Tell the deputy general staff officer that we will go to Wenying Park first and then return to the headquarters for a meeting later."

······

Since the complete liberation of Taiyuan, the people of the city have gradually carried out urban reconstruction work under the leadership of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

Wenying Park is also on the list of this reconstruction.

After a series of remedial measures such as dredging the lake, planting trees and landscaping, and adding public facilities, this historic park has ushered in a second spring and has once again become the best choice for people to play and relax.

For the above reasons, an event with extremely special commemorative significance will be held here.

Ten minutes later, Huang He and his party arrived at their destination and arrived at Wenying Park, which was temporarily closed to the public. After entering the park, what comes into view is a heavily armed guard company.

At this situation, Lao Dai asked with confusion and curiosity:

"Huang, is there anything special about this park? Why is it still surrounded by Eighth Route Army soldiers? Is it possible that someone will give an important speech later?"

Taiyuan is not only the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, but also the main campus of Heshan University.

This is an ocean of progress and innovation, and energetic college students often use their spare time to hold promotional activities. Especially on weekends, there are people giving speeches in almost every square.

Everyone is in the New Year of Hydrogen, so everyone’s words are naturally very nuclear.

In that kind of confident and enthusiastic atmosphere, even Dai Dai could not hold back the passion in his heart. He would have the urge to go on stage and shout that Free France will never surrender.

Upon hearing his friend's question, Huang He did not respond immediately, but continued walking deeper with the two of them. After arriving at the monument, he pointed to a colorful flag flying in the sky and said:

"In a while, it will be the anniversary of the liberation of Taiyuan."

"In order to warm up the Victory Day on the first anniversary of Taiyuan's liberation, our Eighth Route Army is preparing to hold a month-long Japanese weapons exhibition in Wenying Park."

"The exhibition area on your left is the infantry weapons once used by the First Army of the North China Front. The row on the right is various types of armored vehicles equipped by the cavalry group of the Mongolian Army."

At this point, Huang He paused for a moment and signaled Lao Dai and the others to follow his pace.

One thing to say, the headquarters has set up each exhibition area quite reasonably. The comrades not only classified the different types of exhibits, but also carefully marked each booth with which division it came from.

In order to fundamentally improve the exhibition experience for the public, special aisles are left between each exhibition area.

When passing by a Type 97 tank with original paint and a soul ring, Huang He's brows suddenly frowned. That serious expression made the accompanying guards very nervous.

"Guard! Press down this turret!"

"The captured weapons are still so strong, what should they be installed in? If the turret power unit is broken, just hit it with a heavy object! If it affects the exhibition, just replace it. We don't lack this crap!"

After dealing with the unexpected incident, Huang He and the other three came to the central area of ​​the exhibition. There, there was a 97 Heavy Explosion.

"The bomber in front of you is not only well-preserved, but can even take off. It was captured from the Yuncheng Airport of the First Army of the North China Front and is the finale of this weapons exhibition."

"In order to prevent some excited people from destroying the exhibits, the headquarters also specially surrounded it with iron fences."

At this point, Lao Dai completely understood what Huang He meant.

The shame of a soldier is to surrender without a fight on the battlefield. The shame of equipment is to be captured and put on display.

As long as the senior leaders of the Viet Minh see this weapons exhibition, they will naturally find that the Japanese army is not invincible and regain the courage to resist to the end. (End of chapter)
