Chapter 187: Talking While Fighting!

From the moment he made the decision to fully recover the southwestern colonies, Hu Biao had conducted a war situation deduction. For the first time, the sea, land and air forces under the command of the wolf army were used to take the area currently controlled by the Japanese army, and in Hu Biao's opinion, there was no problem at all.

With the birth of the Sea Hawk fleet, the Japanese fleet, which originally planned to resist to the end, was reluctantly surrendered after another battleship was heavily damaged by heavy artillery. The reason is, there is no hope of victory at all.

Even if you can't break through at sea, how can you break through when there are submarines under the sea, warships at sea, and fighters in the air, and the warships are heavily damaged by submarines? If you don't surrender, will you really sink to the bottom of the sea?

Although some officers were determined to live and die with the warship, the commander who advocated surrender said: "The empire has reached an extremely dangerous moment, we must save our useful life and seek revenge next time." Trust me, we'll be able to go back! ”

The courage to make such a decision, also because the fleet commander knew that the Japanese army had always maintained relations with the war broker Vic. If the commander guessed correctly, this mysterious fleet must have something to do with that powerful war broker.

Once upon a time, the Japanese Special High School also received a secret report that the farm area run by Vic's father was said to have a fleet stationed. It was only because the garrison area was too secret that the Japanese could not find out the details of this fleet.

The other party can ambush them at sea with such precision, and must have mastered their every move. With its sunken ship buried at the bottom of the sea, it is better to find a way to negotiate with the other party, and return to China by redeeming it.

In that case, when they have a decisive battle with Menia, they will be able to look back and be ashamed. For these Fuso people, when they know and don't know, they will also stimulate the forbearance in their hearts, in order to have a chance to make a comeback.

Seeing the Japanese warship flying the white flag, Lin Haoyuan was stunned and said, "What? Little devils with a white flag? That's a rarity! Could it be wrong? Isn't the navy of the little devil known as the strongest in the world? ”

"Chief, you won't be mistaken, the little devil's flagship has indeed raised a white flag! Or do you pretend you didn't see it and go on the offset? ”

"Nonsense! Order the assault ships to come forward, receive the Japanese prisoners, take all the little devils in custody, take over their warships, and then continue to Dagon City. Send someone to the freighter to ensure the safety of the cargo on the freighter! ”

"Yes, Chief!"

"By the way, send a telegram to the wolf's head again to inform the fleet of the combat situation!"

Receiving the telegram from Lin Haoyuan, Hu Biao also smiled and said: "It seems that the little devil is really more and more desperate for his life!" They don't even have the courage to sink their own ship, so what hope do they have? Order the Sea Hawk fleet and head for the port of Dagon.

At the same time, it was ordered that the Northern Independent Army and the 3rd Division could start the offensive and advance on Dagon in three directions. The land and sea routes are blocked, and I want to see what is left of the little devils in the colonies, where they can escape! ”

"Wolf head, if the little devil knew the news, would he jump off the wall in a hurry?"

"Don't be afraid! Let the little devils feel the pressure first, and then let the White Bear Commandos contact them when the time is right. For us, it would be good to be able to take over the colonies without spending a single soldier. But on the bright side, you always have to make a show! ”

"Yes, I see!"

During this time, the Japanese army went crazy in order to leave, and made the people in the controlled area miserable. In this case, Hu Biao will naturally not let them enjoy the opportunity to surrender happily, and will definitely find some to vent the people's anger.

For the rest, Hu Biao will negotiate privately with the Japanese army through Vic. If the Japanese choose to surrender, he will exchange some of these prisoners of war for Allied prisoners of war held by the Japanese army, so as to increase his prestige among the Allied forces.

As for more Japanese troops, Hu Biao will not let them return to China, but through secret channels, all these hidden Japanese prisoners of war will be sent to the Japanese army in the Indian colony, so as to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army there.

Only in this way can the Japanese army have stronger combat effectiveness and confidence in the face of the British colonial army. As long as these little devils are there, the British colonial army will not have time to take care of the southwest colonies, and they will be able to create opportunities for the wolf army to speed up post-war reconstruction.

In the position of the commander-in-chief of the wolf army, Hu Biao felt more and more that his impulsive and irritable personality in the past should also be controlled as much as possible. How to maximize his own interests is what he needs to consider. But on the bright side, there is some surface work that needs to be done.

Even sometimes, Hu Biao would laugh at himself: "It seems that I am still starting to become thick and dark!" Is it a good thing or a bad thing to live as the person you hate the most? It's a pity that people in the rivers and lakes really can't help themselves! ”

After receiving the telegram from the escort fleet, the commander of the Japanese front in Dagon City, which was preparing to retreat, was also completely dumbfounded. In any case, it was unthinkable that there was a powerful naval fleet hidden in the nearby waters.

Even if they send a rescue report now, the nearest national navy will not have time to rescue them at all. What's more, from the information sent back by the escort fleet, the mysterious submarine formation appeared again, and the warships that were declared missing from their own country appeared.

This kind of strength hidden in the shadows really made the Japanese army feel terrified, and they couldn't even guess what would happen later. Fearing that it would cause panic, the commander of the Front immediately ordered to block the news of the ambush of the escort fleet.

But then, the news that made the Japanese army even worse came immediately. The defensive combat units on the left and right flanks of Dagon were attacked by the main forces of the expeditionary army. The defensive positions on both flanks were quickly breached.

Looking at the telegram sent by the defending troops, the commander of the front army was surprised again: "Another expeditionary force of two divisions?" Damn, how many troops did the Chinese army gather? Why didn't I hear anything from the special high school before? ”

"General, I think it's very likely that these troops attacking us are not expeditionary forces. According to the telegram sent by the Special High School before, the main force of the expeditionary force organized by China has now entered the Indian colony and is engaged in confrontation with our troops.

With such a large-scale and long-distance troop movement, it is impossible to conceal the monitoring of the special high school. The only reasonable explanation is that these mysterious combat units should all come from that damn Hu Biao! ”

"Na? How do you make this judgment? ”

"General, according to the information collected before the special high class, Hu Biao has no subordinate relationship with Shancheng at all. Earlier, the special high school even suspected that Hu Biao was a warlord, and his territory was a French colony controlled by mercenaries.

What if those mercenaries were not recruited by Vic at all, and were themselves Hu Biao's subordinates? Then we can get a reasonable explanation for our repeated setbacks in the colonies. And Hu Biao's intention was to completely annex all the southwestern colonies. ”

"Yaga! He's so ambitious! ”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, the commander of the front army quickly reported the situation of his analysis to the military cabinet. At the same time, ask what decision he should make given the current situation. Will it be a fight to the death, or will it surrender?

Judging from the current battlefield situation, Hu Biao has the same interests as them in some places. If Hu Biao wants to annex the southwestern colonies, then he will definitely confront the owning countries of the colonies in the future, and there is no point in fighting the Japanese army to the death.

Perhaps this is also the reason why the independent division intended to allow the main force of the Japanese division stationed in Mandeb City to successfully enter the Indian colony. If they choose to surrender, perhaps the remaining troops will have a chance to return home alive.

Now that there are battles going on everywhere, the Japanese forces are starting to become more and more strained. At this time, in the southwestern colonies, the Japanese army still had nearly 30,000 or 40,000 troops. Once it was completely annihilated, it would also be a huge loss for the Japanese army.

If the method of negotiation can be informed, these combat units can be retained and assigned to other theaters, and perhaps the strength of the Japanese army can also be increased. In short, the proposal of the commander of the front army has once again sparked criticism and controversy among cabinet ministers.

"Yaga! Incompetent guy, who sent this guy to the Southwest Colonies in the first place? The dignified Japanese army general actually wanted to make the decision to beg for surrender to the Chinese army, which is a disgrace to the face of the empire and the face of the imperial army! ”

Hard-line cabinet ministers naturally hope that the commander of the front army will fight to the death. But the more sensible cabinet ministers thought this proposal was very good. Since it has been decided to abandon the Southwest Colony, why should it be completely abandoned?

If these withdrawn troops were to be distributed to the same tight Nanyang colonies, even if the Menia army began to recover the Nanyang colonies, the Japanese army would be able to hold out much longer, and consume the Menia forces through a protracted war.

As a result of the final discussion, the Japanese army took the initiative to contact Vic, who had dealt with him several times, in the hope of negotiating the next battle. After receiving a telegram from the Japanese army, Vic, who was in Zhenning Mansion, also felt very speechless.

"Wolf head, it seems that I still underestimated the shame of the Fuso people! Before we could reach Dagon, they sent a telegram asking for negotiations with us. It seems that they are planning to surrender conditionally. ”

"Send someone to talk to them, but our side is still attacking. There are some things that can be talked about while fighting! I've already told you about my request. The little devils located in the colony can't let them leave easily.

In addition to exchanging Allied prisoners of war and prisoners of war of the anti-Japanese forces, we can let the Japanese army hide a part of its strength and send it to the Indian colony through our channels, so as to enhance the strength of the Japanese army there and let them toss the Indian colony more ruthlessly.

The ransom must be traded with precious metals. According to the telegram sent by Shuo Rat, the Japanese army attacking the Indian colony had looted a lot of gold there. As much as you give, you will release as many people, you know? ”

"Understood! I've done this kind of work less than once, I know! ”

Vic, who is increasingly skilled as a war broker, is also considered by many to be the most greedy White Bear. In addition to hating, both the Allies and the Japanese army need to have a good relationship with them. The reason is that Vic has a lot of influence in the Southwest.

The Allied forces and the Japanese army, which needed someone to act as a covert liaison, naturally did not trade openly. It is only through Victor that many secret transactions can be carried out smoothly. And this kind of deal is actually a must for both the Allies and the Japanese army!
