Chapter 1589: Now, Get Out!
In World War II, China never received the respect it deserved, including the allies of Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union. Huo Ranwen ???.? r?a?n?? e?n?a`com
It was because China was too poor, and the performance of the government troops represented by the Chongqing government, headed by Chairman Chiang, was so bad in the face of the Japanese army.
However, after the declaration of war, the Chongqing government received a lot more aid from the British and American sides, but this was not respect, but like a handout from a wealthy family to a beggar.
Respect is earned by strength.
Therefore, Lu Yuan got the respect he deserved, and after Britain and the United States declared war on Germany, Italy and Japan, he received a positive reply from Mardexi Yang Muqi, and Britain and the United States will work together to provide Lu Yuan with two light cruisers, two destroyers and gunboats, a number of submarines, and thirty sorties of new fighters!
"Great!"
Seeing the telegram that Mardeshi took with a blue face, Lu Yuan waved it excitedly, and the pimple was about to go crazy, and the soldiers in charge of the security here were also jumping and screaming excitedly.
They all clearly noticed that the telegram stated that the aid was free of charge, not that it was sent to help!
In other words, these things are given to Lu Yuan!
As long as they send it, it's their own!
"Don't be too happy!"
Yang Muqi said stupidly: "The premise of Your Excellency the Prime Minister and Your Excellency President Roosevelt to assist these warships and fighters is that once our British Empire and the United States of America launch a full-scale attack on the Japanese army in the future, Your Excellency Lu Yuan, you must make full use of the fleet, and the fighters will fully cooperate with our strategic deployment!" ”
"Cooperate, you must cooperate, take people's money to eliminate disasters for others!"
Lu Yuan laughed, but when he saw the mockery implied in the faces of Yang Muqi and Mardeshi, he was immediately a little dissatisfied, and pointed to the telegram: "On this telegram, Prime Minister Churchill and President Roosevelt seem to have jointly designated me Lu Yuan as the supreme commander of Hong Kong to preside over the combat mission of defending Hong Kong. ”
Yang Muqi Mardexi's face was pale, and his whole body trembled, and they suddenly understood what it meant to be a villain, but they had to nod.
"Do you know what to do when you see the chief? Do you understand the rules? ”
Luo Qinghu jumped on the side and shouted, asking President Chen to translate immediately: "Gentlemen, there are no rules at all for them to give a military salute to His Excellency Commander-in-Chief Lu Yuan!" ”
Chairman Chen held back a smile and translated, Yang Muqi and Mardexi trembled and saluted, his expression humiliated and sad as if the pretentious Han Xin was suffering from the humiliation of his crotch.
"Okay, I used to have to talk a lot of nonsense with you to get you to obey my orders, but now I don't need to!"
Lu Yuan looked at Yang Muqi and Mardexi who looked aggrieved and said: "This is your Prime Minister's order, so from now on, what do I say, what do you do, I don't need your advice or anything, I just need you to obey, understand it!" ”
Yang Muqi and the others were even more aggrieved, but finally nodded, they imagined Lu Yuan's words as Churchill's orders, and felt a little more comfortable.
"Okay, now, get out!"
Lu Yuan laughed and said: "Don't appear in front of me without my order, that's it, before you go, tell Valles Beerworth and Roshman Rhodes what His Excellency Churchill said!" ”
Yang Muqi Mardeshi trembled, they used to be the supreme head of the British Empire in Hong Kong, enjoying supreme power, but from this moment on, they are not.
From this moment on, any governor or commander sent from the British Empire had to obey Lu Yuan's orders, like puppets, and any of their measures and decisions had to be implemented through Lu Yuan's nod, and they had no right or ability to interfere with any decision made by Lu Yuan.
Until the day when the lease of Hong Kong expired and was recovered.
Niu Pimple Luo Qinghu laughed, and now they are not satisfied with their own people, or the eight roads or countries that come to the door to ask for things. The military side was prestigious, and they decided to follow Lu Yuan's example and show virility in front of the old English gentlemen.
Playing prestige in front of these British who think they are naturally superior is the ambition of the Chinese, and the rest can only be regarded as a nest and nothing to do.
A few days passed.
The Japanese fighters were roaring in the air like flies, the artillery shells blew the positions to the ground, and there were corpses everywhere, the Japanese army, the Anglo-Canadian army, and of course, the more reservist soldiers who were like chicken blood when they heard the bugle of the charge, screaming that they dared to rush no matter what was in front of them.
Valesroshin's troops, under the onslaught of the infantry wing of the 38th Division led by Ito Wolf, had to begin to retreat to the key points of the Drunken Bay defense line in the vicinity of the Great Smoky Mountains.
Now, of the nearly 6,000 elite of the British army and the Canadian brigade, only about 3,000 remain.
The soldiers of the British Canadian Army were high-spirited, although they killed many people in the battle, they felt the cruelty of the war, but they still had a high fighting spirit!
Not only because they blocked the attack of nearly 10,000 murderous Japanese infantry and successfully killed more than 4,000 Japanese soldiers, but also because although the reserve soldiers formed by Lu Yuan and the new formation were not high in combat quality and their guns were not accurate, the appearance of these guys rushing out like wolves as soon as they heard the charge made them can't help but boil their blood and make them feel that real soldiers should be like this in battle.
No matter the nobility or humility of status, no matter race, as long as you are a soldier, you should fight like this!
However, Vales Roshin began to scold his mother, because they felt that Lu Yuan had not changed their guard until now, and it was really too much, and the soldiers were too tired and needed to rest!
Although they all knew it, those soldiers probably wanted to be nailed to the position like nails and die here.
But nearly half of the casualties broke the hearts of the two of them, they were commanders, and they would never want to watch their soldiers fight on the battlefield in this colony.
But now, they can't withdraw if they want to.
It's not just because of the Japanese army, it's not just because Lu Yuen is now authorized by His Excellency the Prime Minister to take command of all the command in Hong Kong, but because of the soldiers.
"Your Excellency Valles, I see that the soldiers love death more than you now, Your Excellency!"
Roshen sneered, because now, if Lu Yuan did not give the order, those British soldiers would never leave the battlefield because of Valles's order, and those British soldiers were willing to die here because of Lu Yuan's order!
"You think you're better than me?"
Valles unceremoniously pushed back, the British troops under his command are now only far away, but the Canadian soldiers under Roshen are not the same.
