Chapter 30 is not bad money
ββ¦β¦ Our army must have complete autonomy. You are responsible for the logistical supply of our army, and you are also responsible for the pensions of soldiers who died in battle...... Of course, because Japan is a common enemy of you and me, in order to show the sincerity of our army, I agree to supply you with a batch of weapons and equipment at a preferential price. Generals, then you should see that many of the equipment of our army is not available in other countries, so if it is really necessary, you still need to sign a confidentiality agreement......" Ouyang Yun said to Ambos and other Frenchmen in the governor's office in the Hanoi Governor's Palace on November 4.
The Sino-British-French Military Alliance Agreement is only a framework agreement, which can be regarded as a guiding document. When the Chongqing government signed this agreement with the British and French, it did not consider the life or death of the Northeast Army and the Cadet Army expeditionary force, so many of the treaties in it were very unfavorable to the Chinese army. Lao Jiang made it clear that he wanted to use the Northeast Army and the Xuebing Army as gunmen, but he didn't expect that Zhang Shaoshuai and Ouyang Yun had already had a tacit understanding that they would draw up the detailed rules for the implementation of the agreement in addition to the "Agreement".
Ouyang Yun put forward several conditions, Angbos and several other military figures can still maintain their composure, and Roland and other civilian officials have already changed their complexion. As soon as he finished speaking, Roland stood up and said, "General Ouyang, you mean that you are not ready to abide by the agreement reached between your government and us?" Then I would like to ask, since you have so many conditions, why don't you make it clear before you enter Vietnam? Then he said to Onpos: "Your Excellency the Governor, you have heard it, I think the Chinese have no sincerity in cooperating, and even harbor evil intentions. β
The military interpreter whispered Luo Lan's words in Ouyang Yun's ear, Ouyang Yun glanced at Luo Lan, the corners of his mouth were slightly full of disdain, and said to Angbos: "Your Excellency, are you really inviting us to come to Vietnam to resist the Japanese army?" β
Angbos nodded, "Of course." β
"Swap roles, if your army now supports us to enter Fujian to fight the Japanese army, may I ask, are you willing to hand over the command to us? Please answer me truthfully! β
Ompos thought for a moment and said, "I can only answer that I am not sure. β
Ouyang Yun glanced at several French generals and said, "Generals, you have also seen the equipment of our army, may I ask, are you familiar with our equipment?" If not, how can you guarantee the right command? Generals, everyone is a soldier, so you should speak in the jargon as an insider. Your army can make demands on our army, but how to fight it must be decided by our army on its own. As for my insistence that you be responsible for the logistics supply of our army and bear the pension funds, this is also out of prudence - the ugly words are said in the front, although I am not willing to live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but I must be responsible for the life safety of my subordinates, and I don't want the soldiers to become cannon fodder for some reason. Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what I mean? β
The meeting was preceded by a meeting between Ombos and Ivan and Saqimon in the presence of leading military generals. When Angbos was in Chongqing, he decided to cooperate with the Cadet Army, and in the final analysis, he was moved by Mu Jiandie's words, thinking that he could develop a strong army according to the Federation of French Indochina, so that one day he could return to Europe and build a miraculous feat of restoring the country. And after seeing the powerful armament of the Cadet Army, he felt more and more that it was possible to realize this grand plan. After communicating with Evans and Saqimon, they unanimously made a judgment that the final winner of the Sino-Japanese war would definitely be China. From this, they thought that once China defeated Japan, they could hire a student army to go to Europe to participate in the Restoration War. At the end of the meeting, Angbos concluded: "Gentlemen, I dare to conclude that General Ouyang will definitely put forward all kinds of conditions. I think that as long as it does not threaten our roots, we will promise him everything. Do you think so? What a good combination we have with the Cadet Army? Some of them have guns, and we have abundant resources and considerable possessions. Gentlemen, let the Cadet Army help us resist the Japanese on the front line, and let's stay in the rear and train the Restoration Army with peace of mind! Gentlemen, as long as the Cadets are willing to sell us weapons, then we will be able to recruit a large number of natives to form our army of restoration. When the Chinese completely defeat Japan, if they can get the support of the Cadet Army, are they still worried that they will not be able to defeat the Germans and restore the country?! β
Because the military had reached such a consensus and set the tone for this meeting, although Roland and other civilian officials expressed strong protests, which caused a very bad atmosphere in the talks, it did not affect Ouyang Yun and Angbos to finally reach a number of agreements.
The soldiers look at the problem more simply and thoroughly than the civilian officials, and Angbos's reply is very interesting, he said to Ouyang Yun directly: "General Ouyang, you should see that we are not short of money. We can agree to some of the conditions put forward by your army. But there is a prerequisite for this - your army must withstand the Japanese attack, otherwise, Indochina will be lost, we will not be able to collect taxes, and we will not be able to promise your army anything. I think it's good that we can first fund the purchase of a batch of equipment from your army, and your army will use this money to bear the cost of the war in the early stage. Next, we will compensate your army according to the situation of the battle against the Japanese army. General, what do you think? β
Ouyang Yun looked at Angbos with a smile and said, "Your Excellency, I am surprised by your proposal, I really don't see that you are still an excellent businessman. β
The old man blushed slightly, and said, "General, I made you laugh, but I think this is the fairest." β
"No, I don't think so. To be honest, I don't feel a bit of sincerity. β
Roland stood up and said indignantly: "Isn't this sincere? It's such a condition that we all find unacceptable! After saying that, he glared at Ambos and said, "Your Excellency, before you make such a decision, should you ask me, the treasurer?" I, the Treasurer, have the most say in the state of the federal government's financesβ"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Angpos, who frowned and said to him coldly: "Your Excellency Roland, please don't forget your identity!" Yes, no one here is more familiar with the state of the Union's finances than you are, but I would like to remind you that we are talking about war now. As Governor-General, I have the power to declare the government into a system of war, and I also have the power to appoint a treasurer who is familiar with the system of war! β
When Angpos said this, he was already threatening. Roland couldn't help but turn blue with anger, and said with a flick of his sleeves: "Since this is the case, then please appoint a new financial officer!" After saying that, he turned around and left!
Ouyang Yun silently watched the infighting between the French, and there was a hint of drama in his eyes.
Ompos glanced at him, felt that his dignity as governor had been challenged, stood up and said to Roland, who had already walked to the door: "Roland, are you forcing me to shake out some shady things in the treasury?" β
Roland stood still. Two civil servants quickly got up and walked up to him and whispered something in his ear, and the latter sighed and walked back slowly.
Ang Bos said to Ouyang Yun: "General, I'm sorry to make you laugh. β
Ouyang Yun smiled and waved his hand, "It's nothing." Then it's all for France! β
Angbos: "Thank you for your understanding, but what can we do to make you feel sincere?" β
Ouyang Yun said with a straight face: "Your Excellency, I really regard you as allies, so there are some very practical difficulties that need your help to solve. For example, the supply of food and oil. With your strength, these are not difficult to solve, and the cost is not very large. But if we had to solve it ourselves, it would be a problem. β
Angbos smiled after hearing this, and said: "It turns out that the sincerity you need is this, no problem, we can still afford this sincerity." So, do you approve of my proposal above? β
"Okay!" Ouyang Yun said briskly, stood up and stretched out his right hand to him.
