Chapter 80: Into the Set
"Zhuo, why? Why did the Umbrella cease fire and truce with the damned Japanese monkeys? Sir James arrived at Incheon on a merchant ship heading north from Shanghai, and immediately found Zhuo Fei, and his face was met with a quick and not friendly question. Zhuo Fei, who was continuously questioned by Sir James www.biquge.info the pen "Fun", did not answer the other party, but let go of the pen in his hand slightly tiredly, and reached out to rub his faintly swollen head.
"Mr. Sir, you shouldn't have asked my boss that way or accused us of protecting the umbrella." Vivian, who received Zhuo Fei's signal, spoke at the right time. "Mr. Sir, I admit that our umbrella is allies and partners with Britain and the United States, but you must also see the difficulties that our umbrella faces. The Japanese army has already transferred their troops from the northeast and the Far East to the Korean Peninsula, and now that the ratio of our strength to the Japanese army is more than one to three, do you think that our 200,000 troops alone will be the opponent of more than 600,000 Japanese troops? ”
After hearing Vivien's almost complaining words, Sir James's expression immediately softened a little, but his expression still revealed dissatisfaction with Zhuo Fei. "Sir Sir, if I do not make peace with the Japanese for the time being, there will be no way to readjust the existing forces." Zhuo Fei, who had not spoken, stopped rubbing his eyebrows, and handed the stack of papers in front of him to Sir James, and motioned for the other party to read it carefully.
Zhuo Fei did not seem too surprised by Sir James's arrival, in fact, the moment Sir James took off from Chongqing on a military plane, Zhuo Fei, who was far away in Incheon, had already received the news. After taking the stack of papers handed by Zhuo Fei and only flipping through the first few pages, Sir James's face showed surprise and disbelief, and then he turned his head to look at Zhuo Fei and asked in surprise, "Zhuo, is this true?" Is your umbrella really ready to send troops to fight in North Africa? ”
The stack of paper that Zhuo Fei had just handed to Sir James was not classified information, but a new battle plan, a battle plan for the Umbrella to send troops to North Africa to help in the war. Faced with James's almost crazy question, Zhuo Fei replied with a smile, "What do you say?" Zhuo Fei's answer to the question obviously made Sir James even more mad, but he did not continue to ask, but watched intently as Zhuo Fei, who stood up, walked slowly to the wall where the large map was hung.
"Sir, this is Southeast Asia, and this is the Korean Peninsula where we are. All the forces of the Umbrella are assembled in these two places. This is North Hamgyong Province on the Korean Peninsula, where the Japanese have transferred most of their troops from the Northeast and Far East, and this is the southern part of Korea, where the Japanese also have a large number of troops. If we don't cease fire with the Japanese, the battle plan you just saw may not be carried out, because we can't send troops to North Africa to help you fight under the pressure of the enemy. ”
Sir James also got up and stood beside Zhuo Fei, looking at the position marked by Zhuo Fei on the map, Sir James knew that Zhuo Fei did not deceive himself, because he had already known what the situation facing the umbrella on the Korean Peninsula was when he was in Chongqing. "Our original plan was to use the fighting on Jeju Island and the Korean Peninsula to attract the attention of the Japanese army as much as possible and help General MacArthur's operation, but what we didn't expect was that the war on the Philippine side did not seem to be going well, and we never received good news from General MacArthur."
Zhuo Fei's words made Sir James's face show a trace of shame, not to mention that the umbrella tried to attract the attention of the Japanese on the Korean Peninsula as much as possible, but also said that the United States and Australia also had a large number of servants provided by the umbrella to help in the war, not to mention that Zhuo Fei also sent the only fleet of the umbrella to the Philippines to help in the war. But MacArthur's bastard with the US-Australia coalition failed to play the expected effect, and now the war in the Philippines has fallen into a stalemate, which really makes it difficult for Sir James to respond to Zhuo Fei's words just now.
"Sir Sir, you should know that we don't actually have many combat troops under our umbrella. Even the Bandit Army was only an auxiliary reserve force a year ago, so we have always avoided engaging in melee battles with the Japanese army, and if there is a melee situation, it will definitely be a disaster for our umbrella. Seeing that Sir James didn't seem to respond to his meaning, Zhuo Fei changed his tone slightly.
"It is precisely the situation facing the umbrella now that we will choose to cease war with the Japanese army, once the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula is forced to jump over the wall to fight a decisive battle with us, the final defeat can only be our umbrella." Zhuo Fei's words also did not get a response from Sir James, but in Sir James's heart, he seemed to agree with Zhuo Fei's opinion. Although the Umbrella had defeated the Japanese army in South Asia, Sir James also did not think that the Umbrella would be an opponent for the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops on the Korean Peninsula, and among these hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, there was the main force of the Japanese Kwantung Army that had defeated the Soviet army in the Far East.
Vivien, who had been silently paying attention to Sir James's expression, quietly signaled to Zhuo Fei, who changed his tone again, and immediately drew a large arrow on the map. Pointing to this big arrow, Zhuo Fei smiled and explained to Sir James, "We have now ceased war with the Japanese army, so we have time to adjust the deployment of troops, while the Japanese continue to transfer troops to the American continent, we can also draw out idle troops to North Africa." ”
"India has always been under your control, and you can set foot on African soil just by crossing the Arabian Sea. Our umbrella has already recruited more than 400,000 servant reserve troops in the five countries of South Asia a few months ago, and these servant troops have now completed their initial training, and once your Governor in India agrees that we will borrow from India, these 400,000 servant troops will immediately enter India by land, and then cross the Arabian Sea and set foot on African soil to fight in North Africa. ”
The pie drawn by Zhuo Fei had already attracted the attention of Sir James, and although the large-scale German-Japanese landing operation across the English Channel had not been successfully intercepted by the British Empire and the Allied navies, the dilemma faced by the empire itself became more and more obvious. While the U.S. government sent a fleet to support the British, it also had to mobilize troops at home to resist the Japanese ground offensive, while the German army had already defeated the British in the colonies, and now it seemed that only China and the umbrella were left to help the empire.
China and the Umbrella have both signed an armistice agreement with Japan, so naturally they cannot continue to fight the Japanese army, and perhaps lobbying them to go to North Africa to help the war will be the best choice. Sir James's mind couldn't help but flash all kinds of thoughts and thoughts, and after a while, Sir James himself had to admit that Zhuo Fei's suggestion just now had a good chance and possibility of success. Sir James had already agreed with Zhuo Fei's suggestion just now, so that the matter of the armistice between the umbrella and the Japanese army became an irrelevant matter that no one continued to pay attention to.
"Not only these 400,000 servant troops, but also after all the Japanese troops in North Hamgyong Province move south, I can also send a force of 100,000 people to India. With 500,000 troops rushing to North Africa, I think even if the Germans start killing on a large scale, they will not be able to kill all 500,000 soldiers for a while. Moreover, we can also ramp up our efforts to continue to recruit indigenous servants in South and Southeast Asia, and we can send at least a million troops to North Africa to help in the war effort, as long as the arsenals in India and Australia can keep up with the pace of weapons production. ”
All of Sir James's attention had been focused on the million-dollar army that Zhuo Fei had just mentioned, and seeing that his boss had successfully fooled Sir James, Vivien asked quietly, "Boss, do we really want to raise a million-strong army to help the British fight?" How to solve the logistics supply? That's a million-person consumption rate. ”
Vivian's whispered question did not make Zhuo Fei hide the smile in his eyes, "You are stupid, we are here to help the British fight, and all the consumption should naturally be borne by the British. India was the richest of the British overseas colonies, and as long as the British were open to supply, let alone a million troops, they could afford to supply a million. ”
Sir James, who was carefully flipping through the battle plan, didn't know that he had been calculated, and he had been stunned by the news that the umbrella was determined to send a million troops to North Africa to help in the war, and he would not have thought that Zhuo Fei had come up with this battle plan, in fact, he was taking advantage of Britain's thirst for help to implement the South Asian aboriginal elimination plan in an open and honest manner. Zhuo Fei had already foreseen the cruelty of the North African battlefield, and Zhuo Fei actually didn't want those servant troops who left South Asia to return to South Asia, as long as those servant soldiers who tried to go to the North African battlefield to make a fortune set foot on the land of the African continent, all that awaited them was the road of dying in a foreign land.
The conscription of the servant army was to help the British fight in North Africa, and with the British banner, even if someone mentioned the indigenous issues of South Asia after the war, Zhuo Fei was not afraid that he would be implicated in the umbrella. Sir James, who was overly excited, sent a telegram to the British mainland here from Zhuo Fei, and the British Cabinet, who learned of this, was also very excited, and not only agreed to the request of the servant army to use India, but also authorized Sir James to transfer war materials throughout India.
"This old guy is too easy to coax, and this is a success." Got the reply message sent by James personally, Zhuo Fei secretly muttered to Sir James and the British Cabinet in his heart for a while, in order to play this scene well, he had been preparing for a long time, but what he didn't expect was that he didn't need too much preparation at all, and the British would have automatically entered the set.
