Chapter 64: Kobayashi's Advice
Coincidentally, when Roland mentioned Kobayashi Yoto, the latter was telling Yamamoto Fifty-six about him.
After the Japanese Western Expeditionary Fleet began to formally use troops against Thailand (Thailand was actually called Siam before May 11, 1949, but for the sake of narrative convenience, it is all called Thailand in this article), Yamamoto Isoroku asked the Special High-tech Branch under the jurisdiction of the Combined Fleet to strengthen the intelligence collection work of the five Southeast Asian countries, and proposed to set up the Central South Intelligence Bureau with agents and spies who had first penetrated into Southeast Asian countries as the backbone, so as to be specifically responsible for the intelligence collection work of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
"Before the Imperial Army begins to attack Burma, I hope that you can find out the establishment and deployment of the Northeast Expeditionary Force and the Cadet Expeditionary Force, so as to help the General Headquarters formulate a detailed and feasible attack plan as soon as possible. Yamaguchi-kun, I have high hopes for you! On the day of the official establishment of the Central South Information Division, Yamamoto said this to Yamaguchi Aoyama, the head of the Division.
Receiving the attention of Minister Yamamoto, Yamaguchi was flattered and did not dare to slack off in the slightest. He made a request for the help of the Federal Minister to Indochina, Yota Kobayashi, which aroused Yamamoto's interest in Kobayashi, and this summons took place.
“…… The French were now divided, and a faction, headed by the current governor Angpos, concentrated all the senior generals in the French army, and it is certain that they were the one who advocated force against the Imperial Army, and were very close to the Cadet Army. There was also a faction headed by the current treasurer, Roland, whose members were mostly civil servants and large plantation owners. I know Roland better, he inherited the will of his predecessor, Governor Raffarin, and was not resistant to the Imperial Army's entry into Southeast Asia. If the Imperial Army conquers the Federation of French Indochina in the future, I think we can use him to help us administer it. Your Excellency, the French have been away from the war for too long, and many of them are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they will never have the courage to challenge the military might of our Imperial Japan without the instigation of the soldiers...... Your Excellency, I think the best way to disarm the French is to assassinate the leaders of the main war faction such as Ompos, and help Roland ascend to the throne. If Roland is able to take the position, I think we can even use them to defeat the Cadet Expeditionary Force. ”
Under Yamamoto's questioning, Kobayashi gushed his views on the attack on French Indochina, the focus of which was to use the French of the main and faction to attack the Cadet Expeditionary Force in order to avoid the losses of the Japanese army to the greatest extent.
Yamamoto was very satisfied with what he heard, and after listening to it, he said to him approvingly: "Very good, Kobayashi-kun has worked hard in Hanoi. It should be some time before the Imperial Army attacks French Indochina, and until then, you will be responsible for completely disrupting the situation there. Soma! ”
Soma said "Hai" and came to ask; "Your Excellency, Commander, what do you command?"
Yamamoto pointed at Kobayashi and said, "Later, you will take Kobayashi-kun to find Haruichiro Mano, and ask him to transfer a squad of special forces to Kobayashi-kun to command." Kobayashi-kun, let me give you a little advice, if you want to sneak into Vietnam or Cambodia during this time, you can use a speedboat to do it by sea. ”
Xiao Lin hurriedly bowed respectfully, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, I will definitely not let you down!" ”
Yamamoto waved his hand and smiled, "Do your best." If Ouyang Yun arrives in Vietnam, he will definitely be escorted by wolf-tooth special forces. Beware of him sending wolf fangs to protect Onbos and others. ”
"Hello!"
"This is also a test for the young lads of our heroic special forces, kamikaze against wolf fangs, I am looking forward to their performance."
"Hello! Your Excellency, the humble post will be retired first. ”
"Great, I wish you success in your first battle!"
"Xie Lu, thank you for your trust."
The Hsiungfu Special Forces are the Japanese Navy Special Forces established by Koizumi Tonichiro in Nagasaki in accordance with the special forces construction methods of later generations. The wolffang's assassination of Toshiichiro Koizumi in Nagasaki failed to kill him, but it caused him a trauma that was worse than death. I don't know if it's because of this reason that Koizumi Tonichiro is obsessed with being a man again, and always wants to regain his strength, so he has the name "Xiongfeng Special Forces".
January 1, 1941, New Year's Day.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, in the camp of the Bobel Cadet Expeditionary Force, Ouyang Yun, Guo Kui and others greeted the smiling French generals led by Angbos.
Angbos and others came to Bobe in the name of condolences to the soldiers. On the New Year, as a representative of the local government, I would like to express my condolences to friendly troops, and the reason could not be more legitimate.
In the New Year of the Gregorian calendar, the Cadet Expeditionary Force has its own way of celebration - first, dinner; The second is to hold a parade to compete for prizes mainly cigarettes provided by the commander-in-chief.
Angbos and the others carried out a surprise attack, and the time they chose coincided with the climax of the exercise. As soon as they entered the barracks, they were fascinated by the lively scene on the playground not far away.
Around the playground, the queue was full of cadets sitting on the ground. In the center, a total of 50 cadets from the two teams were in a huge muddy puddle, and they were fiercely entangled in the thunderous cheering of the apprentices around them, fighting for everything they could.
Seeing that the attention of the cadets was attracted by the battle in the muddy puddle, the arrival of himself and the others did not attract their attention at all, and Angbos and the others also became interested in this battle, and after greeting them, they unceremoniously asked Ouyang Yun to take a closer look. Without an immediate response, Angbos said to Ouyang Yun in a joking tone: "Commander-in-chief, this shouldn't involve your army's military secrets, right?" ”
The translator translated this sentence, Ouyang Yun smiled when he heard this, and said to Angbos: "It's just a game in the army, how can there be any secrets." Since the generals insist on seeing it, let's go and see it. ”
As we got closer, the battle in the muddy puddle became clear. Seeing that dozens of cadets were fighting fiercely around a log about three meters long and about twenty centimeters in radius, some of them specially pulled their opponents into the muddy water, and some of them held the log and refused to let go. Yi Wen asked Guo Kui, who was standing beside him: "General Guo, this competition is a test of the troops' coordination ability and will to fight, right?" ”
The interpreter translates these words. Guo Kui looked at Ivan and praised: "General Ivan has good eyesight, but there is no need to say the same, and the commander's command ability." ”
After listening to the translator's words, Yiwen turned his head to look at the muddy puddle more carefully, and suddenly realized: "Yes, the one standing on the outermost side of each team is their respective commander. Then he exclaimed, "It's a wonderful training method, it seems that we have really come to the right place this time." ”
This sentence was not translated because the translator was too busy, so Guo Kui didn't hear the sound of this sentence. The French were immediately interested, and they asked their Chinese counterparts for advice, so that two translators would not be enough.
This battle in the muddy puddle began with the appearance of Angbos and others, and lasted for another twenty minutes before the winner was decided. The winning side was the 2nd Mountain Division, and when a regimental commander named Huang Abao, who commanded the competition, staggered to the target area with a log in tow, the French also smiled and applauded amid the cheers of the 2nd Mountain Division's soldiers. While applauding, Ang Bos turned his head sideways and said to Ouyang Yun: "What a wonderful competition!" The Cadet Army is well-deserved! ”
