Chapter 385: Find another way
"Qin Wei, are you crazy?"
Although he was anxious for the formation of the Berlin-Rome-Tokyo axis, he was simply worried about the possibility that Japan might receive assistance or support from Germany, and never thought about anything else, let alone invading other countries...... Even if the country is now just someone else's colony.
"I'm not crazy." Qin Wei glanced at him, and then continued to look at Chiang Kai-shek, who was also a little stunned: "Chairman of the Committee, please give an order to let Du Yuming immediately enter North Vietnam and seize the area north of the Red River!" ”
"For what?"
Lao Jiang was still in a daze. It was changing so quickly that he couldn't react to it. Into North Vietnam? Isn't that an invasion of Vietnam? Can China engage in aggression now? And what about the Japanese? Seeing him like this, Chen Cheng, who had just been attracted by Wang Chonghui's words, could only hurry forward and ask Qin Wei questions for his handle.
"France has surrendered, and Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia together are 'French Indochina', all of which are colonies of the French. For the Germans and Italians, it was too far for them to reach, but what about the Japanese? Qin Wei gritted his teeth and asked.
"You mean...... Will France give these three colonies to Japan? Wang Chonghui reacted first and was shocked.
"At the time of the 'Battle of Songhu,' Britain and France had allowed the Japanese army to transport troops through the concession and attack our officers and men; now that France had failed and surrendered, and Germany and Italy had formed an alliance with it, the Japanese would certainly take this opportunity to send troops to these three countries, first cutting off our Guangxi's external passages, and then attacking Guangxi and even Yunnan from south to north." Bai Zhenxi has been watching the play on the sidelines, but at this moment, he has to stand up and analyze the battle situation for Wang Chonghui and Lao Jiang. Because Guangxi is his hometown. It's the root of their Gui lineage! If Guangxi is allowed to face a two-way attack by the Japanese from Guangdong and Vietnam, the consequences will be unimaginable for Guangxi, the Guizhou system, and even the whole of China.
"But, after all, it's a French colony!" Kong Xiangxi also walked over, and couldn't help but hesitate when he heard the words.
"France? France is a fart! Now that they have surrendered, they have already lost their qualifications in this war. Not to mention the colony, even his native is in Vietnam, and we have to fight it! I can't help them say the first half of the sentence! Qin Wei shouted.
"During this time, the military commanders had infiltrated Vietnam and had mastered some of the strength. He also conducted a detailed survey of the defense situation in various parts of Vietnam...... If Du Yuming's Fifth Army is attacked, I believe that it will not be long before we can completely occupy the north of the Red River. He Yingqin stood aside and said.
"International ......" Lao Jiang finally recovered from the surprise that China could also invade other countries, but he still hesitated. After all, the Japanese have not yet entered Vietnam, which means that what Qin Wei just said can only be regarded as speculation. If so, go straight to Vietnam. Isn't that aggression? France was defeated, but the losses were not great. In case one day people come back to their strength. Let's settle accounts after the fall......
"If that's the case. I think we can talk to the British first. If Britain agrees, then we can go straight to Vietnam with great generosity. Wang Chonghui thought for a while and said.
"Britain? Let's not say whether the British will agree, that is, they will agree, and when they are finished, they will give us an answer. I'm afraid the Japanese have already hit Lang Son and even Nanning. Qin Wei snorted coldly, "In this situation, our Air Force can't help much!" ”
"Then urge them to hurry up. And the British should also know the urgency of the matter. Anyway. We're on their side. Yu Hongjun interjected.
"If Vietnam is lost, Guangxi's external communication lines will be completely cut off. That is to say, when the time comes, we will be a huge country, and we can only rely on the long and winding road of the Yunnan-Burma Highway to transport all kinds of foreign materials, not to mention the consumption and difficulties...... Burma is British. When the time comes, the British will pinch us as much as they want. What do you think they will choose? Qin Wei asked rhetorically.
"You can't just guess, you have to have an excuse, right?" Old Jiang let out a long sigh. Qin Wei's words hit him in the heart. He was absolutely unwilling to let people pinch his lifeline. And after dealing with the British for so many years, how could he not know a little bit of "John Bull"? Maybe they will dare to threaten the Yunnan-Burma Highway and demand many benefits, and may even take away Tibet...... Although Britain is now being blown to the ground by German planes, it is unlikely that such a thing will be done, but it does not mean that it is not. Just like Bai Zhengxi said, during the "Battle of Songhu", the so-called neutral British and French concessions still let the Japanese pass through, what disgusting things could they not do?
"Excuses? What excuse? Let's just say that the French colonial government oppressed the Chinese for no reason, and we went to seek justice! Qin Wei shouted loudly.
"Is justice what you seek?" Kong Xiangxi said without yin or yang.
"How can you ask for it if you don't ask for it?" Qin Wei glared at this guy coldly, "Could it be that you are looking for the missing soldiers?" I'm not opposed to that...... It's just that I use the same excuse as the Japanese, and I think this is a kind of debasement of the collective intelligence of our Chinese government. ”
"But if Du Yuming goes south, the troops in Guangxi will be a little empty." Chen Cheng frowned and said, "Don't forget, the two Kwantung Army divisions under Ando Toshikichi are still there, and they may launch an attack on Guangxi at any time." ”
"It's simple, let the Air Force transport it from elsewhere. In a few days, Guangxi's troops will inevitably become sufficient again. Chen Bui suddenly interjected.
"The Air Force can only transport some lightly armed soldiers, but it can't transport heavy equipment." Chen Cheng glanced at this family and didn't say much. People are scholars, and it is appropriate not to understand this set. And he was not interested in popularizing the difference between the situation in Kunming and Guangxi to this Mr. Bray.
"There's no need to worry too much about that. If Ando Toshikichi dared to move, the air force could attack his baggage, and he had already failed twice, and he would never dare to take such a risk again. Bai Zhenxi glanced at Qin Wei and said. He looked down on Qin Wei's military level, but he had to watch this guy make meritorious contributions and meritorious contributions, and almost all of them were great achievements. But the more this happened, the more he looked down on this kid...... If he could have such timely and accurate information, and commanded an air force with absolute superiority, he would definitely do a better job than this kid. But he is engaged in the army. Although there is also Qin Wei's intelligence support now, those troops are uneven, and they may give you demon moths when they fight, and I don't know how much energy it will take.
"Chairman, can't you make up your mind? If the Japanese really occupied Vietnam, they would only need one air force to hold back most of our air force, because from there they could bomb the Burma road at any time. "Every word you say and I say, one by one we are trying to find a way, but Chiang Kai-shek just doesn't speak. Qin Wei was a little anxious.
"Then try it......" Lao Jiang gritted his teeth, and finally decided to put his own interests first. After all, China now has only two lines of communication with the outside world, and although the Yunnan-Burma Highway seems to be relatively safe, the places it walks are all mountains and mountains, not to mention that it will be threatened by the Japanese air force as Qin Wei said. There is no threat, and the time and consumption required to transport from this road are enough for him to feel distressed: "But the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must be prepared." We are ready to respond to inquiries from various countries. ”
“…… Be. Wang Chonghui responded with some hesitation. He really hadn't encountered anything like that. In the past, China was bullied. He, the foreign minister, is either asking for help or protesting, but now he is taking the initiative to beat people...... Look at your own hands, although it is a little cool, but although the French have surrendered, they still belong to the white country after all. If those whites want to maintain the so-called authority of whites or something, will they find trouble with China? If that's the case. What will he do then?
"It's really not possible, I can ask the U.S. military observer group to write a report and let them publish about the German-Japanese alliance and the possible impact of France's transfer of French Indochina to Japan on the Chinese battlefield......" Qin Wei had a good impression of Wang Chonghui. Seeing that he was a little embarrassed, he couldn't help but help with a trick.
"That's a good idea." Kong Xiangxi nodded again and again beside him, "With the help of the U.S. military observer group, the Americans will definitely be much more even." As long as the Americans don't speak out, it's useless even if the British are dissatisfied. ”
"Then do it quickly...... Qin Wei, you have a good relationship with that Colonel Eisenhower, why don't you go to Lianqing Tower later? Chiang Kai-shek was also relieved. He has always been jealous of Britain, France, the United States, and other European countries, and now that it is so difficult to confront Japan, he does not dare to offend these countries easily. Even if you know that France is equivalent to standing on the opposite side, you are not willing to provoke it easily. But it would be different if you could get the support of the United States. The British are now on their own, and the United States is the one that China needs most.
"Then I'll go later, but when will Du Yuming act? Our Air Force should also cooperate. Qin Wei asked.
"If you really want to act, then sooner rather than later!" Bai Zhenxi said in a deep voice: "I think we will prepare the Fifth Army immediately...... The military commander's stations in North Vietnam should also do everything to cooperate. ”
"Okay." Lao Jiang nodded and glanced at He Yingqin, "Respectfully, you will give an order to the Fifth Army in the name of the Military Commission, and let Du Yuming prepare to go south." ”
"Yes." He Yingqin is responding to the truth.
"It's just right, I'll go with Chief He, and I'll go to Lianqing Tower by the way." Qin Wei said again.
"Okay, let's go together."
He Yingqin's eyes rolled for a moment, and he decisively gave up paying attention to someone with an anxious look in his eyes, and then walked away side by side with Qin Wei. And as soon as they left, it was not easy for the others to stay in Yunxiu Tower for long...... After all, something big is about to happen, and everyone has to go back and prepare for everything that may happen, so they also find a reason to leave. Lao Jiang naturally wouldn't keep it, and as a result, after a while, the entire Yunxiu Tower became empty, leaving only Lao Jiang and Long Yun, who was a little lost in his soul.
"Chairman ......" Long Yun was very sad. finally decided to pull down his face, but it was such a situation...... He was a little embarrassed by himself.
"Don't be in a hurry." Chiang Kai-shek was also a little embarrassed, but he just patted Long Yun on the shoulder: "Isn't that just such a thing?" I brought you to Qin Wei because I always have to take care of his face...... But now it seems that he will not agree. In this case, if you still want to save your nephew, you have to use other methods......" (To be continued......
