June 11 Saigon, Norodom Palace.

The bloodshed of the Japanese samurai hall on the embankment, the Japanese invasion of China, the bomber visits, the naval battle of Jinou Point, and other news have plunged the largest city on the southeast peninsula into chaos. The people of Saigon, accustomed to a comfortable life, began to hoard food and medicine, looting, smashing and other violent activities abounded, and the whole city was on the verge of anarchy and chaos as the French East Indies at this time.

The car of Wu Chaoshu, the plenipotentiary ambassador of the southeast of the Republic of China, stopped in front of Norodom Palace under the protection of heavily armed marines. "It's the Japanese ambassador's car." Li Zhenzhong, who got out of the car with him, had a sharp eye and soon found a Japanese car parked next to him. Several Japanese bodyguards in plain clothes next to the car immediately became nervous when they saw the marines. "Let's go, leave them alone." Wu Chaoshu looked at the Japanese flag on the car opposite, stopped his footsteps, and showed his ID to the French soldiers and walked towards the palace.

As soon as he arrived at the door, the Japanese ambassador to the French East Indies, Yohei Yamaguchi, came up to him, and as an old opponent on the diplomatic front, Wu Chaoshu knew this senior Japanese diplomat. Seeing that his face was unhappy, he was obviously taken aback, and deliberately stepped forward to say hello: "Your Excellency Yamaguchi, it seems that your luck today is not very good." ”

"It turned out to be Your Excellency Ambassador Wu, your father devoted his life to opposing dictatorship, and he probably wouldn't want you, as a member of the Democratic Party, to appear here." Yamaguchi is obviously also a sharp-tongued person, and immediately moved out of Wu Tingfang. It's a pity that this trick didn't work for Wu Chaoshu, so he smiled and took out a Democratic Party badge from his pocket and pinned it to his chest: "Your Excellency Yamaguchi didn't say that I forgot, but there is one thing Your Excellency forgot, although Wu is an opposition party." But also Chinese! ”

"Humph! Then I wish you the best of luck. Without taking advantage, Yamaguchi snorted coldly and was about to leave, but Wu Chaoshu suddenly blocked him. Seeing this, the bodyguard next to him immediately stopped him, but was stopped by Yamaguchi: "What do you want to do?" ”

Wu Chaoshu smiled slightly: "My intentions should be clear to Your Excellency Yamaguchi. We have no intention of declaring war on your country, so I would like to ask you to convey to Prime Minister Mitsumasa Minei that Japan will not sit idly by and ignore the situation in the French East Indies and that my government needs to abide by the South China Sea Agreement. Therefore, in order for our two countries not to continue to misunderstand, I hope that your army will withdraw as soon as possible. Yohei Yamaguchi's cheeks twitched violently, and he could understand the threat in his words, and he took a deep breath and said, "I'll tell you." ”

Li Zhenzhong was puzzled. Looking at Yamaguchi's back, he asked, "Ambassador Wu, who are you?" ”

"Huh. I'm telling him that we're just implementing the South China Sea agreement. Wu Chaoshu smiled: "Let's go, let that old guy in Deju know that we are here." ”

Kampong Son Bay.

On both sides of Dragon Island at the entrance to the bay, the light cruisers Yangtze River and Yellow River have turned on their radars respectively. Electromagnetic waves closely monitor the airspace around the bay for hundreds of kilometers. The sonar chief in the sonar cabin wears headphones, holding his breath and paying full attention. Farther away, the Sichuan aircraft carrier had already played its signal lights, and under the protection of two Taishan-class destroyers, it was speeding into the wind, and one after another warhawks rushed into the blue sky from the bow. In the bay, the destroyer detachment led by the Oujiang light cruiser, who arrived early, had already swept the entire water area several times, and the Siamese Navy's "Nushen" and "Paichumphon" submarines, which had been forced out of the sea by depth charges, were quietly docked next to the pier, and the surrendered sailors sat beside them. Dumbfounded as Chinese naval officers drilled in and out of their submarines.

A whistle drew their attention to the nearby Kampong Son Harbor, where two Tianshan-class landing ships with deep draft were the first to dock. As the bow hatch opened, the soldiers of the 2nd Marine Division in olive camouflage uniforms rushed out of the cabin. After the landing ship unloads the soldiers. Two larger freighters approached the dock shortly after, and the dump boom quickly unloaded more than a hundred trucks and jeeps. Since the harbor was too small and could only berth two freighters at a time, the remaining dozen or so landing ships quickly gave up lining up. Unloading at the beach on the north side of the harbour. In less than two hours, the entire Kampong Son was filled with shiny military boots and weapons from China. Loud singing accompanied by a rolling torrent as it continued to advance deep into the rainforest.

Footsteps rang out from inside the Fury's enclosure, and a moment later Bing and several Navy submarine officers emerged from inside. Yang Guochang, who was waiting on the deck, saw him, immediately handed over the kettle and asked, "Commander, how is the technique of the day?" ”

"Not as good as it could be." Bing shook his head, if it weren't for the fact that the four Fushen-class submarines were all ordered from Japan, he wouldn't even be interested in boarding this kind of small submarine. The submarine technical officer next to him was even more disdainful: "The displacement is too small, and it is only suitable for offshore operations." The torpedo tubes in the front four and one in the rear have a caliber of only 450 mm, which is too powerful. The diesel engine is a Japanese imitation of the German MAN company, which should be an old model, in short, there is not much reference value. ”

The submarine technician really looks down on the Nushen class, because the Chinese submarine force has cooperated with Germany, which has the strongest submarine technology, from the beginning of its construction, and compared with the German Navy, there is no technical fault in the middle of the process. So since last year, the Navy has massively equipped the latest Black Shark-class ocean-going submarines. This submarine is similar to the famous XXI-class U-boat, and is the world's first submarine developed entirely for underwater warfare, and is much ahead in technology. Moreover, in the 3010 program, the fluid mechanics team led by Zhou Peiyuan has also created a whale-type submarine with an underwater test speed of up to 25 knots! If it weren't for the fact that the Great War needed numbers and could not build such complex submarines in large quantities, the Navy probably wouldn't even want Black Sharks.

"Don't be careless! The export goods are different from the models used by themselves, and there are still a few times a day, at least the torpedo technology is much higher than ours. After a few reminders, Bing waved his hand: "Find someone to drive back to Zhanjiang Shipyard and let the engineer conduct a comprehensive and thorough inspection." ”

"Yes." After the technical officer saluted and left, Bing returned the kettle to Yang Guochang and pointed to the fleet in the distance: "How long will it take?" ”

"It can definitely be unloaded before sunset." Yang Guochang knew what his old classmates were worried about, and pointed to Longdao and said: "The Yangtze River and the Yellow River have already guarded the channel, and I also asked the destroyer to expand the search area." You can rest assured, as long as you get stuck here, it will be impossible for either the Japanese submarine or the remaining two Siamese submarines to come in. After sunset. I will let the destroyer protect the southward movement of the Sichuan, as long as the speed of more than 22 knots is guaranteed, the Japanese submarine will not have a chance to sneak attack us. ”

"Where is Detachment 27?"

"At the mouth of the Mekong, though." Yang Guochang paused, his face embarrassed: "They were stopped by a French gunboat. ”

"What? Is the French still hard-mouthed? ”

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sent someone to see that old guy from Jean Deju."

"These delaying guys!" Bing shook his head and jumped off the submarine to go to the dock to check the progress of the unloading, when a motorcycle drove over. The staff officer jumped from the back seat, saluted and hurriedly reported: "Commander, the reconnaissance plane reports." The Japanese army has launched a new offensive, and the French army in Siem Reap is almost unable to hold it! ”

"Hehe, it looks like we're going to be saviors for a while."

"The French just don't have a long memory. Forget it, regardless of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Bing also laughed, looked at his watch and ordered, "It's twelve o'clock at noon." Order the squadron of naval cavalry to leave immediately, and the first reinforcements must be rushed to the Siem Reap airport within two hours! Fighter cover ensures safety. Go, inform the airborne regiment to get ready. ”

Soon after the staff officer left with the order, the escort aircraft carriers Bai Qi and Wang Jian in the center of the bay immediately became busy. Because the two aircraft carriers are not regular aircraft carriers, and the naming does not need to comply with the naming principles of naval ships, the navy named them after four famous generals, Sun Bin, Bai Qi, Li Mu and Wang Jian respectively, and according to the plan, a total of 12 ships will be modified at the general level. The first four were converted on roll-off wheels. Adhering to Wehrmacht standard design, the deck is straight, the lifts are arranged on the left and right sides, and there is also an ammunition elevator at the front of the island. The standard displacement is 16,000 tons. The full load is 23,000 tons, the maximum carrier is 60 aircraft, and the speed is 22 knots. It has 8 single-mounted 85-mm anti-aircraft guns, 10 twin 40-mm anti-aircraft guns, and 20 single-mounted 25-mm machine guns.

However, the two aircraft carriers did not carry fixed-wing aircraft on this voyage, and the large lifts on both sides were carried out. All are Navy Cavalry helicopters that have not been in service for a long time. The Naval Cavalry helicopter originated from the Light Cavalry helicopter project of the Air Force. Although the Air Force attaches great importance to new technologies, it has always been lukewarm about helicopters. Mainly because the helicopter is slow and poorly protected, it is easy to shoot down in the face of a world-war-level ground anti-aircraft fire network. But the Navy is very active, because the Navy has been lacking the means to quickly deploy inland, and the vertical take-off and landing capabilities of helicopters just make up for this shortcoming. Therefore, after the Navy intervened, it immediately increased its investment, replaced it with the Comet 1280 horsepower star 14-cylinder piston engine specially developed by Meteor Company, installed better four-bladed rotors and intercooled forced radiators, and also improved the problems of corrosion in tropical humid areas. In addition, the nickel-based alloy and nickel-based titanium alloy, which are known as the foundation of modern aviation in the 3010 plan, have made a major breakthrough and solved the trouble that the transmission shaft is easy to overheat, so the Navy purchased 282 aircraft at one time. Of course, this is also stained with the light of the war, if it were not for the war, Congress would have been enough to strangle this funding comparable to 800 "Lightning" (helicopters were more expensive than fighter jets at that time).

The most interesting thing is that after learning about the Navy's procurement, the Air Force also purchased 48 battlefield rescue planes with the mentality of "the Navy has it, and I can't do without", and even the Army has a bar. However, since it was to be delivered to the Navy first, their order would not be delivered until the end of 41. The two aircraft carriers carry a total of 48 "Sea Cavalry", which will send 800 Naval Yaksha commandos to Siem Reap, 250 kilometers away, in a matter of hours.

As the first assault teams got into the engine room, 12 "sea cavalry" took off first, and the wide four-bladed propellers blew the sailors on the deck to the ground. When the red and blue glue rod in the pilot's hand was raised above his head to form a doji, the first vertical landing in human history officially began.

In the back garden of Norodom Palace, the white-haired governor of the French East Indies, dressed in a French naval uniform, has a twinkle in his eyes. No one wants to give a colony to an ambitious country, even if it is an ally, even if it has just saved his fleet. So he walked a few steps, stopped in front of the flower bed, turned his head and said, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, Ambassador." As the highest official of the French government in the Far East, I have not received any order to open military installations and railway lines to you. Without the authorization of the French government, then before I surrendered, I would blow up all seaports and railway facilities. In addition, I would like your troops to withdraw immediately from the East Indies, at least before I am authorized, you have actually invaded French territory! ”

"Old fellow, dead duck has a hard mouth!" Wu Chaoshu scolded in his heart. Although Operation Typhoon has begun, the French army is still in control of all military installations. Don't underestimate these facilities, they are the result of decades of French business. If you can't get it safely, the logistics of the troops can only rely on mud! This is also the reason why Deju dares to bargain. So he said loudly: "Your Excellency, our dispatch is to implement the provisions of the South China Sea agreement to protect your country's interests in the Far East, and if you do not cooperate, then we will not be able to guarantee your safety." Therefore, on behalf of my Government, I hope that you will seriously consider my proposal and agree that our soldiers will protect these cities and military installations, taking the position of allies. ”

"I'm sorry, I don't have the right to make such a decision! My mission is to protect the French territory. "Let Deju straighten his waist, like an old fox.

Li Zhenzhong frowned, and was about to speak, but Wu Chaoshu suddenly stopped him, and preemptively said: "Okay, since His Excellency the Governor continues to insist, then we will immediately note your government." After saying that, he turned around and left. Li Zhenzhong was unwilling, and hurriedly caught up and lowered his voice: "Ambassador, why are you." ”

"It's useless, this old guy is notoriously stubborn, and he won't compromise if he doesn't suffer a little." Wu Chaoshu sneered twice: "What the president means is that it's okay to bring the words, whether he is willing to accept us or not." The rest of the things are up to the CIA yourself, and I have to go to see the little emperor of Nguyen Phuc Hao right away, he should be in a hurry. ”
