Compared with the domestic combat generals, they all focused on defending against the Japanese attack, and thought more about how to recover the lost territory. Hu Biao, who went to the southwestern border, set his sights on other places early on, and paid closer attention to the changes in the situation on the European battlefield.

Through his work with the Meniah military, as well as his close cooperation with the Brooke family, Hu Biao has been following developments on the European battlefield. Every time he sent a telegram to Brooke, he would remind him to send him a telegram as soon as the situation changed.

During his time in Menia, Hu Biao also deduced the outcome of the war with Brooke. The Brooke family believed that Britain and France were capable of withstanding the German invasion. This confidence was built more on the Maginot Line, built by the French army.

Long before the outbreak of war, the French army raised huge sums of money to build impregnable fortifications and fortresses on the border. Anyone who has seen the fortifications knows that if they want to break through this defensive line built by the French army, I believe that many countries will not be able to do it.

At that time, Hu Biao asserted: "I do not deny that this national defense project built by the French army with huge sums of money is indeed very strong. But have you ever thought that this project was only built in France, and did not extend to its neighboring countries?

Once war broke out, if I were the commander of the enemy army, I would not have to gnaw this hard bone at all, but would only be allowed to quickly deploy my troops to the rear of the defending forces by passing through the neighboring countries. In that case, these fortifications will be useless! ”

Although many people laughed at it for a long time, Hu Biao's analysis was too much on paper. But Brooke, who has worked with Hu Biao for a long time, believes in Hu Biao's intuition very much. The reason is simple, with this intuition, Hu Biao has never misjudged.

Upon learning that the Germans were beginning to advance on the French lines, Brooke instructed his family's intelligence collectors to keep a close eye on the rest of the war. In fact, the Mesnian military is also highly concerned about this kind of intelligence gathering work.

Only two days later, Brooke received an urgent telegram from the intelligence officer, and when he saw the contents of the telegram, Brooke sighed and said: "As nonsense is said, the Germans have attacked the Ardennes Heights, and the Anglo-French troops are besieged in Dunkirk. ”

"What? In this way, the Germans were able to bypass the Maginot Line and completely divide the French forces deployed on the front line. My God! Now the French army was in trouble, and in addition to deploying heavy troops on the front line, the rear was very empty. ”

"May God bless them! Send this telegram to Hu immediately, I am sure he should be very happy to see this telegram! At this time, I believe that those who laughed at Hu at the beginning should not be able to laugh at this moment! ”

As Brooke thought, the Meniah military, which was not a neutral country, was dumbfounded when they saw the war briefings sent back from the European front. Especially those generals who have visited the defense line find it even more unbelievable.

The chief of military intelligence staff, who was in charge of convening the meeting, said in a serious voice: "How do you all feel when you see this telegram?" You had always believed that the Coalition was capable of thwarting the German offensive. But now?

As the Germans bypassed the Maginot Line and infiltrated from the Ardennes, the French line would become vulnerable, and there would probably not be much time left before they fell. Our friend from the Far East is more strategic than we are! ”

"General, what does Congress say about this?"

"I haven't said anything yet! However, Congress is already deliberating whether to give the Allies military aid accordingly. To be precise, with the complete withdrawal of the French army from the battlefield, those guys in the council can earn a lot of wealth. ”

As the chief of staff put it, the Menian merchants, who had little interest in war, were very interested in doing business. In their view, with the complete defeat of the French army, the Allied army was bound to need a large number of munitions and weapons.

As a neutral nation, the Mernian merchants, who had established a well-established and adequate industrial system, could also take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune. The problem of overcapacity, which was a headache for MPs before, is not a problem at all.

Regarding what happened on the side of Meinia, Hu Biao, who was sitting in Yongfu City in the southwest, was not in the mood to pay attention to it at all. As early as before the war, Hu Biao urged the Menias to airlift the ordered machines and materials to Shillong and other places.

Just half a month ago, the last batch of materials transported by sea was also transported by Hu Biao to the colonial settlements and various factories in the mountains. At this moment, these factories are also working at full speed to provide a steady stream of munitions to the troops.

Some of these munitions were even loved by the Meniah military, even though the national army also gave purchase orders. With these orders, these factories that Hu Biao spent a lot of money to build finally brought benefits to Hu Biao.

Seeing the urgent telegram sent by Brooke, Hu Biao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "General order the whole army, the wind is rising!" ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

The so-called wind refers to the coming of war. Although it is not yet known when the Japanese army will act. But Hu Biao believed that the Japanese army would never be able to endure it for long. Indochina, how could they give up this piece of fat?

Moreover, in a strategic sense, if the Japanese army could fully control the Indochina colony, in addition to obtaining a colony with a lot of resources, it would also be able to completely block the transportation and supply lines of the Nationalist government in the southwest.

If the Nationalist Government completely loses overseas supplies and military aid, then the Nationalist Government will also support it for a long time. As far as the Japanese army is concerned, if they exert any more pressure, perhaps the Nationalist Government will choose to negotiate and end the current state of confrontation between the two armies.

After receiving the secret telegram from Hu Biao, the troops who had been on standby for a long time also became more warlike. The clearance troops, led by the Special Operations Brigade, took the lead in raiding the rebel forces supported by the Japanese army in Indochina, and purged the forces that secretly defected to the Japanese army.

In the face of the surprise attack of the special operations brigade that had been prepared for a long time, the resistance forces, which were already average in combat effectiveness, had no power to fight back. Even when the colonial army learned the news, they didn't care too much. In their view, they wish someone had cleared them of the rebels.

There were even some rebel forces, and Hu Biao personally sent the credit for the suppression of the rebel forces to these colonial officers through the colonial officers who were bribed by Nuvik and the intelligence group. Even when the Japanese army learned the news, they were extremely shocked.

"Na? The colonial army in Indochina, suddenly acting against our forces? Why wasn't there any news before? ”

"Your Excellency, this operation was very sudden. In addition to the rebel forces we supported, the colonial army also purged many forces that had secretly defected to us. We have several intelligence points, and we are all in a state of disconnection. ”

"Yaga! These damn colonial troops, are they really going to fight us? ”

Like Hu Biao, after receiving the good news from his allies, the generals of the Japanese cabinet also became extremely excited. In their opinion, it was only a matter of time before the Germans completely routed the French. This means that the French army will be completely eliminated.

As a former European colonial power, the French army also had many colonies in Asia. And these colonies will all become trophies of the Japanese army. It seems that the ***** plan promoted by the Japanese military cabinet will soon become a reality.

Just as the Japanese Cabinet was deploying to seize the French colonies in Asia, it received a telegram from Indochina. In the face of the great changes in Indochina, the Japanese military cabinet was also very surprised.

"Yaga! Those damned colonial troops, do they really want to confront us? ”

"General, do you want to send nearby troops to knock these damn colonial troops? With the strength of our fleet deployed in the southwest, we can capture the port cities controlled by the colonial army in a short time. ”

"But our military spending and war materials have not yet been raised. If you rush to send troops, it will be very difficult to take Indochina in one go. If we let the colonial army escape, it will be much more difficult for us to completely control Indochina. ”

"If we don't do it now, we're afraid we'll be even more passive in the future. Once the colonial forces have purged the forces we are supporting, and even begin to strengthen their defensive deployments, it will be extremely difficult for the army to advance quickly after landing. ”

As the saying goes, don't fight unprepared battles. Britain and France and other colonial powers, not to mention the colonies they have in Asia, the Japanese army must be very greedy. The problem is that once the Japanese army attacks with its troops, it will also consciously tear its face with these countries completely.

In the current European theater, the German army has indeed won the victory. But how the battle situation will change later, the Japanese army can't analyze it. In order to complete the operational plan for the complete occupation of Indochina, the Japanese army is urgently mobilizing combat troops and raising supplies.

Now the troops are still being transferred, and the materials are also being prepared, and they will definitely not be able to be deployed in a short time. If it were to make a bold move, it would be extremely unfavorable to the Japanese army if it was to fight a stalemate or a war of drawback.

Unlike these young officers who actively applied for war, as senior generals in the cabinet, they all knew that the war expenditure of the Fuso government was about to collapse at this moment. The crazy expansion of the army requires a large amount of investment.

As a resource-poor country itself, the Fuso government's reserve of funds for this war has reached a point where it is almost impossible to sustain it. Even though the Japanese army intensified its plundering of the resources of the colony, it was still unable to meet the growing demand for military spending.

As far as the Japanese army is concerned, their full-scale invasion of China at this moment is already in a situation where it is difficult to ride a tiger. The Nationalist Government's reluctance to negotiate peace with the Japanese army for a long time made the Japanese army dare not draw a large number of troops from the battlefield.

Knowing that the invasion of Indochina would be of great help to improve their current situation, the Japanese military cabinet was still worried that the colonial army that controlled Indochina would not be so willing to surrender the colony to the Japanese army. Once the war is deadlocked, the Japanese army is in danger.

But now that the situation in Indochina has changed dramatically, the colonial army seems to be ahead of the Japanese army, eliminating potential internal threats. If it continues to drag on, the Japanese army is also worried that it will increase the difficulty of the attack if it is carried out again in the later stage.

In fact, this is the result that Hu Biao wants to see first. In the name of the colonial army, the preemptive purge of the armed forces and forces that would allow the Japanese army to quickly control Indochina. Disrupt the Japanese army's combat steps and let it mess with itself.

If you want to invade Indochina in full-scale moderation, you will definitely not be able to have fewer troops. If a large number of troops are to be mobilized, where will the troops come from?

If the east wall is demolished to make up the west wall, Hu Biao will have a way to unite the Gui army, so that the little devil will finally become a chicken and an egg. In the southwest, Gui Jun, who is bent on finding the field, is a vegetarian?
