"Good people do it to the end, help people help them get home?" Tang Qiuquan didn't understand what Tang Qiuli meant, and repeated what he had just said in confusion.

Tang Qiuli explained: "Japan's Southwest Pacific Dispatch Army on the Australian battlefield is Japan's largest overseas combat group in addition to the Japanese Kwantung Army, and in the future, we are trying to plot the southwest Pacific region, and the Japanese army under Ito Yanzaburo will inevitably become our opponent. ”

After a pause, leaving time for everyone to digest and think, Tang Qiuli looked at Tang Qiuquan with a smile, and then said: "Brother Qiuquan, your fleet is responsible for escorting and transfusing blood to the main arteries of the Allied forces, how much blood flow is there, you know best, according to your observations, how big is the war potential of the British in the West Indies, mainly a matter of military resources?" ”

Tang Qiuquan thought for a while and replied strictly: "Since July this year, the British have successively recruited about 650,000 troops from the West Indies Continent. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Qiuquan couldn't help shaking his head, "I'm on the warship, watching those Indian soldiers get on the boat, and the chaotic group is like a group of armed civilians with guns, is it just to send them to death, Brother Qiusheng also said that in the five-day battle, the allies suffered more than 120,000 casualties, and the Japanese suffered more than 40,000 casualties, and the casualty ratio was three to one." It should be these Indian soldiers who are defeated, and at such a rate of attrition, after half a year, the British may not even have enough troops of two or three divisions! ”

Tang Qiuli didn't answer Tang Qiuquan's words, but turned his head and asked Lieutenant General Zhang Quan, head of the Logistics Department, "Uncle Quan, the weapons, equipment, ammunition, and materials provided to the allies." Is it delivered on time? What is the payment cycle for Americans? ”

The white-haired Lieutenant General Zhang Quan, although he is nearly sixty years old, is in good spirits, his face is full of red light, and he probably counts the money recently until he is soft. With a happy face, he leaned back in his chair. Quite smug said: "Commander." Profitable business, can you not do it, supply on time, not bad at all, the military industrial enterprises in the East India region, work overtime. It was also said that it was our own family, the residents who immigrated from the mainland, and they were at the end of the work, but they didn't say anything. Just as carefully as you do in your own house. ”

"There is less scrap, and there is still work, but the Yankees and the British are paying more and more on time, no, two batches of arms have been pressed, division commander, according to me, simply, let's refuse to deliver, first return the first two batches, and then talk about the next batch, don't you know how to lift, I estimate, the Yankees and the British are probably also short of money! It's just that if we don't do this deal, we won't suffer losses, we've already made enough, fuck it! One hand of money, one hand of goods, no money to talk about! ”

Zhang Quan was a little indignant, as if he had suffered a big loss, Tang Qiuli looked at Zhang Quan, who was old and strong, and had a good temper, and joked with a smile: "Uncle Quan, when your old man still has enough money, he is afraid that money will bite his hand too much, can't he be angry, and make money with anger!" ”

Then, looking at the generals present, Tang Qiuli's tone suddenly became stern, and said: "The situation on the Australian battlefield is already very clear, and the defeat of the allies is a matter of time. ”

"The so-called limit is that at the critical moment of the Japanese attack, the aircraft carrier aircraft should provide air fire support for the Allied forces, but they should not intervene in the war too deeply, this matter, Brother Qiuquan, you and the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, Admiral Fernandez, should contact you, but, don't use my name, how to deal with it, Brother Qiuquan, you can determine for yourself according to the actual situation."

"Uncle Quan, you discuss with Wang Xu, director of the Military Industry Bureau, the latest new artillery developed by our arsenal, as well as the accompanying high-explosive artillery shells, to provide a batch to the Allied Forces, the number must be able to equip at least four artillery divisions, the price, it is the same as before, but, Uncle Quan, you have to tell Wang Xu that the service life of this batch of artillery cannot exceed six months, and it will be automatically scrapped when it expires, and the shells must also be equipped according to the average base of six months."

"Brother Qiusheng, the intelligence system in your hand should establish intelligence sharing with the Allies, and our troops will not intervene in the Australian battlefield, but our intelligence personnel can provide the Allies with accurate information on the actions of the Japanese army, in short, we want to ensure that the Allies will not be eaten by the Japanese Southwest Pacific Dispatch Force before the end of June 1942, in addition, Brother Qiusheng, you ordered the East India Local Garrison Command to contact the British West Indian colonial government and ask them if they need us to train soldiers for the Allies?"

"The training base can be set up in the area under our control, and all the costs are borne by us, that is to say, there is no need for the British to pay a penny, and when the time comes, they will be given a group of well-trained soldiers.

"The Sulu Mobile Corps stationed in the Indochina Peninsula, Li Honggang's 29 th Corps, and Ma Chaoyang's Southeast Mobile Corps have begun to conduct training in island landing and tropical jungle warfare in different areas of the Indochina Peninsula.

At this moment, the staff officer came in and reported: "Report to the division commander, Major General Han Tie, commander of the Marine Corps, and Major General Le Yiqin, commander of the Southern Flight Group, have arrived in Singapore and are waiting for your summons!" ”

Tang Qiuli hurriedly said: "Okay, today is the meeting of the heroes of the land, sea and air, our independent division, how long has it been since there has been such a reunion, please come in!" ”

Han Tie and Le Yiqin, dressed in military uniforms, came in heroically, "Report to the division commander, Han Tie and Le Yiqin are here, please give instructions to the division commander!" The two of them stood up and saluted.

Tang Qiuli beckoned the two of them to sit down, and said: "Commander Han, you came just in time, I heard Commander Tang of the Navy say that your marines, in the past year, have added more people to the army, the army has grown to thirteen brigades, and there are more than 180,000 troops, you are a good commander!" ”

Han Tie replied very modestly: "Division commander, if you talk about strength, our marines are far worse than several other field corps, division commander, recruit me from Hainan Island, what tasks do you have, you can give an order, the newly formed six brigades, just to see blood, smell the smell of gunpowder, and exercise on the battlefield!" ”

Tang Qiuli slapped the case violently, "Okay! I appreciate this momentum, but there is no combat mission at the moment, your eyes should be on the Philippines, with the focus on Luzon and Mindanao, once there is a war, your Marine Corps will have to take on an independent offensive direction, make more efforts, and find out the situation of the Japanese army in the Philippines. ”

Han Tiehuo stood up and said: "Please rest assured, division commander, I have not relaxed the reconnaissance of the Japanese army in the Philippines for a moment, as long as you give an order, the 180,000 soldiers of the Marine Corps will kill the little devils with the fastest speed and the fastest movements, and plant the battle flag of our independent division in the city of Manila!" ”

Han Tie's words aroused the arrogance of the generals present, Ma Chaoyang also stood up and said: "The Marine Corps is on the one hand, and our Southeast Mobile Corps can also independently attack in one direction, Commander Han, let's compare and see, that unit will kill the little devil in charge of it first!" Divisional commander, Sumatra is mine! ”

"Good!" The generals shouted well, followed by a round of warm applause.

Tang Qiuli said lightly: "It's too early to say these words, what I want to see is the result, as for the process, it's your Han Tie and Ma Chaoyang's business." ”

Tang Qiuli turned his head to look, surprisingly silent Le Yiqin, if it was in normal times, with such a warm atmosphere, his loud voice was indispensable, and the first one to grab the task would definitely be him, whether it was the battle of infantry or navy, he would have to intervene.

Tang Qiuli looked at him with an inquiring gaze and said: "Yiqin, after returning from Outer Mongolia, how is the morale of the troops, in the Indochina Peninsula and the Japanese Army and Navy Air Force, they have fought for more than two years, and they have never suffered losses, but they have fought a few hard battles with the Soviet Air Force, and the losses are not small, and the pilots have no impatience, right?" ”

Le Yiqin came out of nowhere, "Teacher, I have an opinion about you!" ”

Tang Qiuli laughed and said, "Ho! It seems that this opinion is not small, full of resentment, tell me, what is your opinion on me? ”

Le Yiqin looked at the other generals who were staring at him with great interest, and said boldly: "Division commander, you are eccentric, you also know that in the air battle of the Sejingge River in Outer Mongolia, our Southern Flying Group suffered a lot of losses, not counting the pure and rigid troops, I lost 351 fighters, sacrificed 193 pilots, more than three regiments, I don't want to talk about the fighters, our family is thick, we can replenish it immediately, and we can replenish it as much as we want." ”

"There are enough fighters, but there is a shortage of pilots, you can do well, more than 600 newly graduated pilots have been supplemented to the Northern Flight Group, and our Southern Flight Group has not caught a single one, you say, is it eccentric? Deputy Master Tang, you also give a comment! ”

Saying that, Le Yiqin was a little blushing and his neck was thick, he used his strength to pour out all the words in his heart, and when he finished speaking, this strength was also discharged, and he couldn't help but be afraid, the temper of the division commander was not a scare.
