Chapter 171: Franco-Vietnamese Conflict

In 1908, Vietnam launched the "Hanoi Poisoning Case" to murder French soldiers, and the French immediately pointed their suspicions at Hoang Hua Tan and the anti-French forces in North Vietnam led by him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the number of French troops in Vietnam was insufficient at present, a military attack against Hoang Hua Tan was included in the French government's plan, but it was the attitude of the revolutionary army that was difficult for the French government and the governor in Vietnam.

The revolutionary army's uprising in the southwest was initially greatly helped by Huang Huatan, and it was no secret that the revolutionary army provided equipment support to the anti-French forces in northern Vietnam.

If a military attack is carried out against Huang Huatan and other anti-French forces, even if the cooperation of the revolutionary army is not considered, the supply of weapons to the revolutionary army must be worried. Therefore, the legal person must have an accurate judgment of the attitude of the revolutionary army.

On the surface, the revolutionary junta seems to be in an advantageous position, and the legal person is afraid of it, and the people rely on it. But this is not so simple, the revolutionary army must take into account the changes in the situation after completely offending the legal person, and also analyze the results if the yellow flower detective is abandoned.

Judging from the overall revolutionary situation, the revolutionary army is still in the stage of being in a corner of the country, and it is probably not a good thing for foreign powers to intervene; But if you cower and give in, and watch the confrontation between the legal person and the Huanghua Detective, first, there is a suspicion of ingratitude, and second, when the Huanghua Detective fails, the legal person will stabilize the north of Vietnam, and it will be a blessing or a curse for the revolutionary army.

It was precisely because of this sudden incident that the revolutionary army could not make a judgment immediately, and the battle in Sichuan could only be suspended and wait for the final decision of the headquarters.

"It stands to reason that China and Vietnam are both weak countries under the oppression of foreign powers, and they both have the ideal of resisting them. If you sit back and watch the legal person attack Huanghuatan, I am afraid that it is not appropriate to reason or righteousness. In the following meeting, Ge Zhichu changed the direction of the discussion and began to solicit opinions from everyone in order to reply to the inquiries from the headquarters.

"Our revolution has not yet succeeded, offending legal persons and inviting interference. I am afraid that it will be very detrimental to the great cause of the revolution. During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Qing court and the foreign powers jointly suppressed it, and this lesson cannot be ignored. ”

"What if it is a divide-and-conquer strategy for a legal person to show favor and win over at this time? Without the buffer of the anti-French armed forces in northern Vietnam, who can guarantee that the legal person will not change his face. Enemies of us? ”

"It's not the first time that a legal person has attacked Huanghuatan, even if our army doesn't support it, with the current strength of Huanghuatan and other anti-French forces, the legal person may not be able to win."

"We should also consider the possibility that if we stand by and watch, if the anti-French forces such as Huanghuatan resent us, they will become enemies."

"Anyway, you always have to offend one, so it depends on who is more helpful and who is more powerful."

"If you want me to say, legal persons are not to worry. As long as the Huanghuatan is properly supported, it will be in an invincible position, and it should have no impact on our army's plan to enter Sichuan. ”

……………

The opinions of the crowd sounded reasonable, but they were not too deep, and there were no convincing reasons.

In fact, this is not surprising, for the international situation, even the relationship between Asian countries. None of these generals knew anything very well.

"Executive Committee Chen has said something to me before." Ge Zhichu pressed down on his hand, waiting for the discussion to subside. Only then did he slowly speak: "Huang Huatan and other anti-French forces are chess pieces, which at first had a role in the revolutionary army's uprising and the establishment of base areas, and in the future, it will also be a means for our country to contain the foreign powers. Not only the anti-French forces in Vietnam, but also the anti-British forces in Burma, and perhaps the anti-Japanese forces in Taiwan. Anti-Dutch forces in the Dutch East Indies. If it can be used skillfully at the right time, our weak country will have enough room for diplomatic flexibility, and perhaps the great powers will be able to back down and compromise. To put it simply, this can be called a proxy war. We don't have to go out in person, and we avoid direct conflict to the greatest extent. Victory or defeat will not affect too much, and relations with the great powers will not be too stiff. ”

There was silence, and everyone fell into deep thought. This so-called proxy war is so novel and peculiar, and it seems to have a strong guiding significance in the face of the imminent war between France and Vietnam.

"Avoid direct conflict? That is to say, our army will not directly participate in the war, but there will still be support from other quarters. Yang Wenkai said thoughtfully: "Then it won't affect the battle in Sichuan." ”

"That's not something we can decide." Ge Zhichu smiled faintly and said, "Report the minutes of the meeting to the headquarters, I believe that the headquarters will have a clear judgment and will make the most favorable decision." ”

Ge Zhichu's conjecture is not wrong, but his thinking is far from Chen Wenqiang. Whether it is breadth and depth, or Chen Wenqiang's analysis and judgment of the international situation, it is determined that he will give amazing answers.

"If the legal person is tempted, then bargain, delay time, and try to get the greatest benefit, such as the determination of Gaoping's status. During the negotiations, we secretly supplied a large amount of weapons and ammunition to Huanghuatan, and promised that if they lost the battle with the legal person, they could retreat to Gaoping or our base area. and when an agreement is reached with a legal person, it will temporarily cut off contact with the anti-French forces such as Huang Huatan, so as not to seize the handle for others. In this way, I think it is a two-way policy, please refer to the leaders of the headquarters. In addition, judging from the strength of the French army stationed in Vietnam, unless troops were transferred from within the country, they could not pose a threat to Hoang Hua Tan's men and horses in northern Vietnam, where the terrain was complicated, and the battle might not start until half a year later. ”

Song Fuhua pursed his lips, with a smile on his face, read Chen Wenqiang's telegram, then glanced at the attendees, and said, "How?" I also learned Lao Chen's foresight, well, it's the old treacherous and slippery. ”

A soft laugh rang out, and everyone seemed to feel the same way. This kind of disposition can be described as a knife cutting tofu on both sides, the legal person has not offended to death, and Huang Huatan will be grateful for the weapon support of the revolutionary army when he wins, and he will also be grateful for the acceptance of the revolutionary army when he is defeated. What's more, it is necessary to use this to negotiate with legal persons and strive for benefits.

"The old man sees that he can send instructors to Huanghuatan's troops, if the war is really half a year later, in terms of time, it is still very abundant." Liu Yongfu stroked his beard and said: "Or let Huang Huatan send some officers to the base area for training, which seems to be more secure." ”

"I agree with the latter approach." Zhao Sheng nodded and said, "In this way, even if those trained officers are captured while fighting against the legal person, because they are Yueren, we will have quibbles. Or simply don't use the name of training, let Huang Huatan only say that he will send people to participate in the Chinese revolution, so that they will go back to participate in the war, we can say that they left without permission, let alone know that they are Yueren. ”
