Chapter 1470 Arrogant Speech

After listening to Liu Qing's report, An Yi nodded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The intelligence network that had been painstakingly built up a few years ago finally played a tremendous role, and every move of the Japanese army in Nanyang was fully seen by the intelligence departments of the Fourth Department, the General Staff Headquarters, and the National Security Department. An Yi pondered, at this time, it was time for the Nanhua Group and Hongxing Society to make their debut, otherwise if the Japanese and the indigenous people of Lanyin reached an agreement, then it would be 20 million overseas Chinese in Lanyin who suffered.

In the face of the great interests of the country and the nation, all false names must be left behind, otherwise it will only be the Chinese themselves who will suffer heavy losses.

An Yi groaned slightly, and quickly summoned Yang Fei, deputy chief of the General Staff, Deng Bin, who had been transferred to the post of secretary general of the General Staff and president of the National Defense University, Zhao Dongquan, director of the General Staff Office, Du Yi, director of the National Security Bureau, Huang Zhi, who had recently been appointed deputy chief of the general staff of the whole army after four months of recuperation, Shen Ziling, director of the Operations Department of the General Staff Department, and Liu Yu, staff officer, as well as Liu Qing, director of the intelligence department of the General Staff Department, and Ye Cheng, who remained in Syria to reorganize the tank front army, and other generals and colonels, to hold an emergency meeting.

The specific strategy was to drive away the wolf and chase the tiger, use the Japanese to drive away the Dutch, Britain, the United States, France and other countries, suppress the natives, and create a relatively peaceful space for the Chinese to develop.

After the meeting ended, An Yi left Ye Cheng and inquired about the formation of the tank troops.

At present, the Syrian weapons research has improved the J1 medium tank, enlarged the cabin, increased the crew to five, selected a 76.2mm tank gun, added a parallel machine gun and an anti-aircraft machine gun, and used a higher-power four-stroke diesel engine, which is more powerful and faster, with a maximum road travel of up to 550 kilometers and a dirt road travel of 400 kilometers. This tank was officially named the J2 tank by the General Logistics Department, and the officers and men vividly named the J1 tank the "Wolf" tank, while the J2 tank, which was larger and more powerful, was ordered to be the "Leopard" tank.

In order to disrupt the phenomenon of mountaineering in the troops, the cadre rotation system has been implemented in all aspects of the military organization this time, and most of the original cadres at the army, division, and brigade levels have been reassigned to different posts, especially the generals and colonels of the military headquarters and division headquarters, most of whom have been assigned to lead the troops, and the staff officers of the colonels and lieutenants have also been sent down to the grassroots level to serve as the chief officers of the troops. Because most of the officers were promoted to one or even two levels, coupled with the deep love and support for the leader An Yi in their bones, there was no opposition, and they all went to their posts happily.

At the same time, all those who have attained the level of generals and lieutenant generals in various military departments but have not been assigned suitable posts for a time will be transferred to the three general departments to enrich the leading groups.

For example, Deng Bin, whose military rank has been promoted to general, and as a general, he served as the deputy commander-in-chief of Xia Jian's front army, which was inevitably a bit condescending, so he was transferred to the General Staff Headquarters, served as secretary general, and concurrently served as the president of the National Defense University.

In addition, Zhao Dongquan, who has repeatedly made meritorious contributions in war, has served as a division commander as a lieutenant general, and this time the whole army has been promoted, he has also been successfully promoted to the rank of general, if he holds the post of commander of the group army, how embarrassing will it be for the commander of the front army, so he will also be transferred to the General Staff and serve as the chief of the general staff, and he will be the ideal candidate for the chief officer of the General Office of the Central Military Commission in the future.

Major General Han Yaoxian, the former chief of the political training section of the 39th Division, was promoted to lieutenant general and transferred to the chief of education of the Simao Army Command College under the General Staff Department; Major General Zhang Zhongkang, the former commander of the artillery regiment of the Fifth Army Corps, was promoted to lieutenant general after returning from injury, and served as the chief of education of the Southwest Artillery Academy of the General Staff; Major General Li Zhide, former chief of the Political Training Section of the 33rd Division of the Army, was transferred to the General Political Department as the head of the Organization Department after being promoted; Major General Liu Qi, former chief of the Military Judicial Division of the New Second Army, was promoted to lieutenant general and served as director of the General Political Department of Discipline Inspection and so on.

It can be said that this was a mobilization involving the whole army, which completely disrupted the inherent factions since the establishment of An Jiajun and laid a solid foundation for An Yi to command the overall situation.

At present, in the various armies, group armies, motorized infantry divisions, mountain divisions, infantry divisions, and other formations, the posts of chief of staff, chief of operations, chief of intelligence, and chief of logistics are all transferred from the former regimental and battalion-level cadres to the National Defense University, and after a short period of training, they are urgently supplemented to various departments. Since half of them have studied abroad and received the experience of studying in European and American military academies, especially German military schools, and have returned to the Syrian non-commissioned officer school after returning to China, their military thinking and vision, especially their understanding of new tactics and new weapons, are far higher than those of ordinary generals. The other half of the generals have also received professional training from the Syrian non-commissioned officer school, which is even better in terms of loyalty and cohesion.

Such a strong combination will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the Anjia Army, sweep away the last remnants of feudal ideology in the Anjia Army, and truly build an iron-blooded army and a civilized army.

General Ye Cheng made a detailed report to An Yi on the current establishment of the tank unit.

Different from the large-scale personnel transfers of other front armies, the chief officers of the tank front armies are mainly transferred internally, and the other newly transferred officers are mainly to enrich the intelligence, communications, logistics, and political departments, and other departments, the most important reason is that mechanized troops are different from ordinary infantry and require more professional qualities.

Ye Cheng's front army was organized into three tank corps, a total of nine tank brigades, each brigade under the jurisdiction of three tank battalions, one motorized infantry battalion, plus military subordinates, brigade subordinates, battalion directly subordinate units, the total number of wolf and leopard tanks reached 1,000, plus 1,000 armored combat vehicles, self-propelled artillery, anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft artillery vehicles, and more than 2,000 supply vehicles, the cost reached a terrifying astronomical figure. At present, the major machinery factories, tractor factories, automobile factories, and iron and steel factories are already producing at full capacity, and it is expected that the tank front army will be fully organized in half a year.

Previously, Syria's oil supply was mainly solved by purchasing crude oil from the Yanchang oilfield, which has increased production, the Yumen oilfield, and the Changqing oilfield, which have already started production, plus oil imported from French Annam and smuggled through Myanmar, and did not use strategic reserves. However, with the French Annam taking over the Yunnan-Vietnam railway, highways and ports, the largest source of oil supply was interrupted, and other oil supplies could only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.

Fortunately, at this time, the four major coal-fired oil production bases established in western Guizhou and eastern Yunnan, northeast Yunnan, and northwest Guangxi have begun to put into operation, although the conversion rate of gasoline, diesel, and kerosene is only a pitiful 30 percent, but if there is no sufficient supply of oil, all tanks, planes, and automobiles can only become iron lumps, so they can only grit their teeth.

Ye Cheng's introduction made An Yi very satisfied. Judging from the current situation, only the two front armies commanded by Gu Changfeng and Xia Jian are enough to sweep the entire territory of Annam, and the mountainous areas in the north and northwest of Annam are not suitable for mechanized troops, and Ye Cheng's tank cluster can only belong to the strategic deterrent force, and in the future, it is the stage for the tank troops to gallop in the future to deal with the landing operations that the French army may launch in Hanoi and Saigon, as well as the plain area of Siam in the future.

If we think about it further, if there is such a terrifying armed force in southern and central Burma and most of India, Japan and Britain will not be opponents, and it will not be a problem at all to win Southeast Asia and South Asia. But before that, it is necessary to keep quiet and let Japan "bravely" rush to the front, mess up the colonial system of Britain, the United States, France, and other countries, and then slowly reap the benefits of the Anjia army.

With Ye Cheng leaving, all aspects of intelligence also gathered.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, after communicating with French Ambassador Nazia to no avail, the Nationalist Government of Nanjing held a press conference, at which Foreign Minister Wang Chonghui expressed the strong protest of the Chinese Government and Chairman Chiang himself against the blatant massacre of Chinese citizens by the French Annan army, saying that this is the most sensational scandal in modern civilized society, and that a country that claims to be righteous and just has actually committed such a poisonous hand to unarmed civilians. What is the principle of heaven?

In accordance with the Hague Convention II of 29 July 1899 and Hague Convention IV of 18 October 1907, enemy civilians under the authority of one of the parties to the conflict shall be protected and treated humanely, including the safe departure of the country and the protection of the fundamental rights of civilians who have not been repatriated; It is forbidden to destroy undefended towns and villages; It is forbidden to kill, coerce, *** and evict peaceful residents; prohibition of corporal punishment and torture; The person, family, honour, property, religious beliefs and customs of peaceful residents shall be respected; Collective punishment and hostage-taking, etc., are prohibited.

And the Chinese citizens in French Annam obviously do not belong to the civilians of the hostile country, because they also have to pay taxes to the French colonial government, and they belong to the protection of the French colonial government and the army, but they are not only not protected, but they are shamelessly slaughtered and mercilessly, and the greatest sorrow in the world is this.

In the light of all the above, the Chinese Government requested the League of Nations to conduct a thorough investigation of the French team, sanction the officers and soldiers involved in the incident, and give an account of international justice and justice. With photographs published in newspapers and French students at the University of Paris as evidence, it quickly became clear that the matter would come to light.

The spokesman of the current government countered the protests of the Nanjing government, saying that the French government has always treated Chinese nationals with dual nationality kindly, which can be seen from allowing Chinese to establish Chinese schools, allowing Chinese to build Confucian and Taoist temples in the cities and villages of Annam for worship, and allowing Chinese to have privileges beyond the Jing, Khmer, Tai, Cham and Lao ethnic groups to conduct business, fishing, and shipping. The French government's kindness to the Chinese under its jurisdiction, however, the Chinese did not want to reciprocate and colluded with the rebel forces to try to overthrow the Annam regime, which is an act that no government can tolerate.

Subsequently, the spokesman openly exonerated his army, saying that any action taken to maintain law and order would be protected and compensated by the French government, that France would not submit to the intervention of a government that could not effectively guarantee the personal safety and property of its own citizens, and would continue to fight unremittingly against the rebel army and government of Annan, and at the same time, France warned certain countries not to try to play with fire. Otherwise, the French government will give it a taste of the power of the world's largest army, which has 13 million square kilometers.

The French Annan Government also held a press conference at 3 p.m. after reaching an agreement with France.

In the past few days, the crusading army has been victorious, and the army from Saigon has basically wiped out the rebels in Cochinchina, and then the army boarded the ship from Cam Ranh Bay to Da Nang, and after disembarking at Da Nang, launched a fierce attack on Dong Thafeng, Congrong Peak and other passes in the south of Hue City.

The reason why the power of ancient China extended to Hue was due to the barrier of the mountains in the southern part of Hue, which can be said to be a natural barrier to the plains of the Mekong Delta.

The nominal commander is Hu Xuelan, commander of the armed forces of the Provisional National Government, but the specific commander of the battle is Major General Gao Jinbao, the former leader of the stormtroopers of the Annan branch of the Anjia Army, who has been assigned to the Special Operations Department of the General Staff of the Anjia Army.

Gao Jinbao was selected from the position of captain of the special brigade of the 16th Division in three or four years to enter the special class of the Syrian Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and underwent systematic training for nearly a year, and then was sent to Hong Kong, and then sent to Annan by the headquarters of the Hong Kong Hung Xing Society to serve as the captain of the stormtrooper team of the Annan branch, and the rank of colonel was awarded at that time.

More than 32,000 stormtroopers mobilized from various parts of Nanyang and gathered in Annam, half of whom were retired officers and men of the Anjia Army, and the other half were children of overseas Chinese selected from various parts of Nanyang.

If it weren't for the fear that a one-hit kill would cause the confidence of the French colonists to shake and give the natives of Annam an opportunity to take advantage of, the SA was fully sure that before the start of the war, they would have adopted decapitation tactics to kill all the French colonial officials and army generals to lay the foundation for victory in one fell swoop.

This time, except for 10,000 stormtroopers who participated in the Hue incident, the rest of the team members were still patiently lurking, waiting for orders from headquarters.

Therefore, the troops led by Gao Jinbao can be said to have completely followed the principles and operational guidelines of the Anjia Army, attaching great importance to the construction of trenches and the configuration of firing points, coupled with mortars, earthen mines and self-made Mushan artillery to help the battle, to deal with the attack of the French army.

On the contrary, it was Wu Tingyan and other royalist leaders who came to watch the battle, whose faces were pale, and when they saw the peak appearance of the French army, they retreated in their hearts.

The French army not only attacked from the south to the north, but also landed from Haiphong Port and rushed to Hanoi, and then gathered the French army in the Tokyo area and the 50,000 Annam troops who withdrew from the Yunnan-An border, crossed the Ma and Zhu rivers in a mighty way, attacked from Thanh Hoa to Vinh City, and ran all the way to Hue with the rebel army retreating south from Tokyo.

The leaders of the rebel army, who originally hoped that the Annam army would cause the French to take care of one thing and lose the other, and formed a wave of independence that swept the whole country, were deeply disappointed, and they were even more angry at the insensitivity of the people of Annam, for example, the rebels went south from Hanoi, and basically did not receive assistance from the people along the way. They did not understand that although the people sympathized with the revolution from the bottom of their hearts and hoped that their future life would be better, under the influence of the French for many years, they had witnessed the heads of many relatives and neighbors hanging on the head of the city, how could they dare to risk their lives to come to their aid?

Most of the generals of the Annam Army were veterans, and they had a very indifferent concept of national right and wrong, and the weapons in their hands and the monthly military salaries were all obtained from the French, and they knew who was their master. And the rebel army seems to have swept the whole country with great momentum, but for France, the largest country in the army, such a force is not enough at all, rather than losing his own life, it is better to wait and see the changes, follow the French *** team to beat the side drum, see the wind and rudder.

Facts have proved that the rebel army is indeed a rabble, the rebel army fled south from Hanoi, because there is no supply, and there is no popular support, many people quietly deserted with weapons, and the troops have not yet reached Vinh City, the men and horses are basically scattered, and the leaders of the rebel army are angry, anxious and frightened, and in desperation, they have to take the radio and flee all the way west into the Truong Son mountain range to avoid the pursuit of the murderous French army.

As a result, the uprising that originally seemed to be a huge scale was now only in the hands of the rebels around Hue, and from the bright side, the balance of victory and defeat was basically clear, and the old oilmen of the Annam army finally made up their minds that it was time to ask the French masters for credit, and they rushed to Hue City to kill.

It was precisely because of the great advantage in the war scene that the French Annam government was naturally arrogant. At a press conference, Brevier openly declared:

The Chinese cannot even protect the citizens of their own country, and the people of Manchuria, Northern Branch, and Shandong still live under Japanese colonial rule, so what right do they have to criticize France's internal affairs? Although Annam was once a vassal state of China, and most of the people living on this land were ethnic Chinese, it is not the Tang and Song Empires and the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and now the most powerful countries in the world are England, France and the United States, as for the Republic of China, what is it? A ridiculous toy?

Drew. Brevier's remarks drew laughter from the press conference.

European and American journalists have always demanded double standards for themselves, if there is a tragedy of thousands of people being killed by white people in Britain, France, the United States and other countries, it will be a humanitarian tragedy that has aroused public indignation. But if the target is black, yellow, brown, specifically the indigenous people of the colonies and the people of semi-colonial countries such as China, they take it for granted, and always find all kinds of excuses to defend them, as if this is the only way to prove the superiority of the white race.

Governor Jule. Brevier added:

Although the Chinese in Annam have Chinese nationality, they are also subjects of Annam. The fact that the Annam government divided the Chinese into five gangs, Guangzhou, Chaozhou, Fujian, Hainan, and Hakka, and paid a poll tax to the Annam government, proves that they have identified themselves as Annamite. As long as it is an Annan person, it is understandable to be sentenced to death if he dares to fund the rebels, and as for the women being ***, it is just an additional punishment, which is not a big deal. Moreover, such a massacre is not only aimed at the Chinese, but also at other Beijingers, Khmers, Lao people, etc., as long as they dare to challenge the authority of France, they will be ruthlessly attacked.

The commander-in-chief of the French army in Annam, Bour, immediately reported the military situation at the front, saying that everything was under his control, and even if France did not send troops in China, the French army in Annam was confident that it would defeat the opponent.

Bull gritted his teeth and said: The king who lives in Hue City has a problem with his head, and he dares to oppose the world's largest army power, and after the capture of Hue, he will definitely find him to settle the bitter hatred of the 5,000 French troops stationed in Hue being completely annihilated, so that he can understand the fate of opposing France.

The arrogant remarks of the French government and the colonial government of French Annam were transmitted to China through radio waves as soon as possible, and then broadcast to the people of China by the Syrian radio station, triggering an anti-French frenzy.

At this time, it's time for An Yi to speak!
