Even though the front line is raging, the southwest rear still seems relatively calm. As far as the Japanese army was concerned, except for the ongoing Third Battle of Star City, the other theaters basically maintained a confrontational attitude, and both warring sides seemed to be very restrained.

It was only for the Nationalist Government that the Japanese army began a full-scale invasion of the British colonies, which also made the Nationalist Government extremely worried about the cutting off of international supply lines. The Japanese army launched an invasion of the British colonies with the intention of cutting off supply lines.

In the eyes of the Japanese army, the only way to force the Nationalist Government to declare surrender was to make the Nationalist Government completely lose the capital to resist. At present, the allies, led by Menia, seem to be stepping up their assistance to the national government.

On the other hand, the Japanese army at this moment, almost every once in a while, has to declare war on a member of the Central Powers. This madness, coupled with its successive victories in the South Seas, also made the members of the Central Powers feel a great threat.

Coupled with the German operations on the territory of the Soviet Union, it also achieved a great victory. The Soviet Union, which seemed to be very strong in terms of national strength and military strength, was beaten to the ground by the German army, not to mention the loss of troops, and even the capital was in danger of being captured.

received the telegram from Hu Biao, and Dai Li, who had read the telegram, also felt a little surprised, but knew that this matter was indeed very important. Immediately, the telegram was personally sent to the presidential palace and reported and analyzed to Lao Chiang.

After listening to Dai Li's analysis, Lao Jiang thought for a while and said: "Didn't the news reported back by the previous military commander say that he controlled a large area of territory in Indochina? The number of troops under his command is as high as hundreds of thousands, why do they want to unite with us? ”

"As far as I know, many of the troops under his command cannot be easily mobilized, and they need to guard against the attack of the Japanese army. On the side of Haiphong City, the Japanese army also gathered a lot of troops. Besides, he had no reason to help the English! ”

"What do you think about this? Someone mentioned this before, but the English side seems to be hesitant! ”

"Maybe these English people are worried that we won't come back if we go!"

Hearing this, Lao Jiang snorted and said, "The heart of a villain! If they don't agree, what's the use of us agreeing? ”

"I don't know much about the specifics! But according to what I have learned, if he is willing to intervene in this matter, I guess there is no choice on the English side in this matter. On their own, they were powerless to resist the Japanese invasion.

As far as we are concerned, once the Japanese army cuts off the international transportation line in the southwest, it will be difficult to bring back the materials and military aid brought from overseas. Besides, if we don't participate, I'm afraid that guy will be dissatisfied! ”

Looking at Dai Li, who showed a wry smile, even the old Jiang, who was dissatisfied with Hu Biao, knew that Hu Biao was already fledgling. If you really want to provoke Hu Biao, the entire southwest border will be uneasy, and those materials will not be transported back to China.

Fortunately, from beginning to end, Hu Biao has given a lot of help in this matter. At least in the major event of the Anti-Japanese War to save the country, Hu Biao said it extremely well. Even Lao Jiang, who was dissatisfied with him, still felt that he had to take credit for Hu Biao.

It's just that Lao Jiang is dissatisfied, and Hu Biao is really willing to deal with it, more of them are Li and Bai of the Gui family, as well as the Eighth Route Army. The previous transfer of a batch of fighters to Yan'an, Lao Jiang naturally received relevant information.

In Lao Jiang's opinion, this is an obvious 'capital enemy' behavior! It's just that he can't do anything about Hu Biao, and it's normal to be annoyed!

With Lao Jiang's permission, Dai Li soon took a special plane and secretly arrived at the temporary airport in Yunnan Province. Not long after, under the strict escort of a group of people, they arrived at Yongfu City, which is currently under the control of the wolf army.

Seeing the crowds and busy Yongfu City, Dai Li was also extremely shocked and said: "It's so lively here? ”

"Yes, Okza! The shops and streets on both sides of the road were built in the first half of the year. Because many goods have been cleared since then, it has become extremely lively, and there are many traders and people coming and going between the two places. ”

The military commissioner who came to greet Dai Li knew better than anyone the influence of the Wolf Army in Indochina. Even in the eyes of many people, Indochina is still under the control of Franco. But in fact, this area has been effectively controlled by the wolf army.

In a mountain manor outside Yongfu City, Dai Li saw Hu Biao with a smile on his face again. After a brief narrative, Hu Biao also went straight to the point and said: "How does the committee view this matter? Are you willing to send troops to help in the war? ”

"The commission means that it is okay to send troops into battle. What about the specific troops, military spending, and weapons and equipment? ”

Knowing that Lao Jiang agreed to send troops to participate, Hu Biao also said directly: "Military expenses and weapons and equipment are naturally provided by the colonial government. As for the number of troops, it can be kept at about 100,000 people, but it can't be a recruit unit! ”

Hearing this, Dai Li smiled bitterly: "The front-line war is also very important, and I am afraid that it will be a little troublesome to transfer 100,000 elites!" ”

"Isn't it the elite to do what? Do you still want to use this as a training ground for recruits? The troops in the north can basically be ignored and the combat units in the south can be transferred with priority. Otherwise, the troops will not be able to adapt to coming.

Before contacting you, I have already negotiated with the Meneña and Franco-French sides, and they will contact the English side to bear the military expenses and weapons and equipment of all incoming combat units. And I, too, will bring a division to participate in it! ”

As soon as these words came out, Dai Li was also shocked and said, "You also want to go out of the mountain?" The troops that were sent, you want to take over? I'm afraid it's not right! ”

"Don't worry! I'm not interested in fighting your troops yet! But there is one thing, the commander you appoint, must have the consent of our Quartet. As for the military expenditure and weapons and equipment of the inbound combat troops, they will be treated on an equal footing with the colonial army.

Another point is that I will also be involved in specific negotiation matters. And I will also lead an elite division, with about 20,000 troops, to fight with you. In addition, I will serve as the deputy commander-in-chief of the combat forces in Burma!

Don't look at me with such eyes, I want this post of deputy commander-in-chief, not to compete with you for power and profit, but to ensure that the combat units that enter the country can enjoy the treatment they deserve and avoid being dragged by the colonial army to be cannon fodder. ”

"I need to ask for advice on this!"

"It doesn't matter! I brought you here this time, and I also wanted to talk to you first. After we have reached the talks, I will hide behind the scenes and join the five-party talks in the name of the independent division commander and deputy commander-in-chief to fight for more interests for us.

There's one more thing I need you to do for me. My brother-in-law's regiment must be transferred to join me. Secondly, with my involvement, if there is really any danger to the army going out to conquer the colony, I can also send troops to support in time! ”

Seeing Hu Biao bluntly put forward his own demands and give him the benefits he could win for the combat troops and the Nationalist Government, Dai Li felt that this was actually an exchange. As for the return of Tiaolin Town to Hu Biao's command, he was not surprised.

In fact, Lin Zhenyuan's current status in the national army is indeed a little embarrassing. The high-level knows that he is Hu Biao's brother-in-law, and Hu Biao is now a prince-like existence, and he is not at ease to be promoted, and he does not dare to suppress him.

Now that Hu Biao took the initiative to transfer Lin Zhenyuan to his command, Dai Li felt that the problem was not big. After negotiating these matters, Hu Biao directly arranged a military plane to send Dai Li back to the capital of Yunnan Province, which surprised Dai Li.

It's just that when he thinks of the relationship between Hu Biao and Menia, he feels that this seems to be normal. For the Meniya military, they also attached great importance to Hu Biao. In the previous air battle with the Japanese army, if it hadn't been for Hu Biao's rescue, the air force would have been wiped out.

After returning to Dai Li, who returned to the mountain city, reported the situation of the meeting, Lao Jiang frowned and said, "This kid, what is your idea?" ”

"Bench, I can't guess this humble position! The only thing that can be confirmed is that he has no ill will towards us. If he really wants to do something, he can cut off our supply lines. From beginning to end, he was very helpful. ”

"The position of deputy commander-in-chief, it doesn't matter if it's given to him. Commander-in-Chief, who does he want to make? ”

"Wei Junru!"

"Junru? When did he get in touch with this kid? ”

"The two have never met!"

For Lao Jiang, in fact, his vigilance against Hu Biao has become heavier and heavier day by day. What made Lao Jiang helpless was that he couldn't suppress Hu Biao at all. The reason is very simple, Hu Biao's forces are all in the colony, and he can't intervene in them at all.

Even if Lao Jiang felt suspicious, he finally saw the conditions that Hu Biao might give, so he agreed to this proposal. After personally summoning Wei Junru, Wei Junru, who was summoned, also felt confused, and couldn't understand why Hu Biao recommended him.

"Bench, do you mean General Flying Fox recommended me? But from beginning to end, I've only heard about him, and I've never met him! And from whence did he know about me? ”

"His reason is that you spent some time in the Cantonese army in your early years, and you know more about mountain warfare in the southwest. If you are the commander-in-chief, you will also be able to familiarize yourself with the local war situation more quickly. Specifically, I'll talk about it when you meet! ”

"Yes, take a seat!"

When he received the telegram that he had been appointed earlier, Wei Junru was indeed a little worried. The reason is that the problem of friction with the Eighth Route Army is that Wei Junru is different from others. In his view, the most important thing is for foreign enemies to cooperate in resisting Japan at present.

Because of this, some people in the national government also began to doubt whether Wei Junru was loyal. Fortunately, Wei Junru is also a veteran and famous general, and his prestige in the army is also quite high, and if you want to trouble him, you need to have convincing evidence of the crime.

When he returned to the mountain city, Wei Junru knew that he really had another appointment, and even made him the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary army. For Wei Junru, although this position was a little unexpected, it was also quite exciting.

As a general, who wouldn't want to command more troops? But when he learned that he was recommended, Wei Junru also became interested in Hu Biao. I even wonder if this matter has anything to do with the Eighth Route Army.

and other parties reached a basic agreement, and finally the four-party meeting was held in Spring City. In fact, many people feel that this should be a five-party meeting. Because this meeting can be achieved, it is more Hu Biao who is behind the scenes.

And this meeting also realized that Hu Biao officially stepped onto the stage of history and became the figure who could stir up the situation in the colony. No matter which side you have, you probably know in private that Hu Biao's opinion can't be ignored by anyone!
