Chapter 118 Planning
Degu changed his position in the light of the times, and the last mountain that weighed on Angpos's shoulders was removed. What happened next can be expected, whether the French of the Indochina Federation were willing, or hypocritical, could not prevent Ompos from concentrating on the development of the "Restoration Army". Regardless of the intentions of the Cadets and the role they would ultimately play, it was inevitable that the Cadets would be fully involved in the administration of the Indochina Federation by the French. Of course, from the point of view of the Zionists led by Angbos, at least for the time being, they can enjoy the process of forming the "Restoration Army" with peace of mind, which is also a kind of fun.
Clarley's attitude took a 180-degree turn, and while it was personal, it was interesting to note given his influence on Wavell. Angbos put on the posture of a peacemaker, and Huang Haifu couldn't keep a cold face. How to deal with the relationship with the British, he knew the Commander-in-Chief's thoughts - at least for now, the Commander-in-Chief did not want to make enemies on all sides, and considering the "blood relationship" between the British and the Americans, the Cadet Army did not want to get too stiff with the British.
Adjusting his tone, Huang Haifu said to Angbos: "Your Excellency, you already know about Singapore. You give a comment, my country's overseas Chinese, how innocent are they? Are they a people of lawlessness? To be treated like the British army? β
Angbos was in a good mood at this time, and he waved his hand with a smile and said, "Senior Commander Huang, we deeply sympathize with the experience of your overseas Chinese in Singapore. However, this matter is in the past after all, and I think sooner or later the British government will give an explanation. Hehe, let's pay more attention to the war that will happen soon! β
Huang Haifu stared at Clari twice, and then said to Angbos: "You don't need to worry about this matter, our commander-in-chief has already made a full plan, and I believe that soon, you will receive the relevant official documents." β
"Senior Commander Huang, can you help arrange for me to meet Commander-in-Chief Ouyang?" Clarley said suddenly.
Huang Haifu replied very simply: "Our commander-in-chief will not see you." β
"Oh? For what? It's just a private meetingβ"
"Until your government has apologized for the Singapore incident and made a commitment to pay compensation, our commander-in-chief will certainly not see a single British."
"yes, that's a shame."
Huang Haifu turned to Angbos and said, "Your Excellency Governor, you will give me an answer as soon as possible about the establishment of the Central and Southern Anti-Espionage Office. Also, I'll send someone to pick up Rang Deju and the Japanese agent tomorrow afternoon, so if you want to interrogate, please hurry. After speaking, he saluted everyone and said, "Everyone, I will take my leave first!" β
Huang Haifu left with a number of subordinates, and Xiang Shaoyun and others also left one after another.
Ambos and Degu politely saw them off, and when they returned to the hall, Degu saw Clary frowning and contemplating, and said, "General Clary, it's time for us to prepare for our return." β
"No, I don't want to leave for the time being, Ouyang Yun, I have to see it."
"For what? Clarley, the Chinese are quite unfriendly, why should you humiliate yourself? β
"The Chinese are indeed very arrogant, but my friends, here and there, I think they have the capital to do so. General Ambos, I have a request. β
"Please."
"I need a chariot for the Cadet Corps and a complete set of individual equipment."
"I'm sorry, I can't help with this. There is an agreement between us and the Cadet Army that we can only use the weapons they sell us. The Cadets have the right to inspect them regularly, scrap their guns, and they will recycle them," Ombos said, blushing and embarrassed.
Degu looked at him and said, "Ombos, Britain and France are hardcore allies, you must help with this." β
"Not really, Commander Degu, you should see these Chinese," Angbos said and shook his head: "I am sometimes worried, I don't know what kind of situation this will bring the Indochina Federation into, but for the sake of the great cause of restoring the country, I have no choice." General Clarley, do you have a fancy for the weapons and equipment of the Cadet Army? β
Clarley nodded, "Yes." Although they are very unwilling, I have to admit that their weapons and equipment are much more advanced than ours. If our Indian and Burmese forces can switch to the standard weapons of the Rogue Army, I don't think there will be a repeat of the Singapore debacle. β
"But I think that weapons and equipment alone can't solve all the problems, Commander Degu, General Clarley, you have also seen that our Cadet Corps Armament Brigade, they have only received special training from the Cadet Corps for less than two months, but their mental outlook has changed a lot. Whether or not a unit can fight a war is directly related to its will to fight. If you really want to completely change the appearance of your army, it is not enough to introduce the standard weapons of the Cadet Army, you need at least a battalion-sized Cadet Corps training regiment," Ivan said.
Clarry looked at Evan and smiled bitterly: "I know the truth, but it is too unrealistic to ask the Chinese to help train the troops." β
Degu: "Clarley, let's take a long-term view of this matter, I think we'd better go back first." I don't know what the road is for, I feel very bad now. Ompos, don't blame me for being suspicious, I really can't trust the Chinese. You and I both know that the Federation of Indochina has traditionally been a subject state of China, and when China is weak, they naturally dare not fight the idea of recovery, but now? Ombos, you really shouldn't have brought in the Cadet Army! β
Ampos smiled wryly: "It's too late to say this. Now it is no longer than in the past, and if the cadet army does not come in, we alone will not be able to stop the Japanese from entering the Indochina Federation. Looking at the actions of the Japanese in Dutch Indochina, do you think there will be any good thing about being taken into ownership by them? General Clarley, I understand your eagerness to obtain the standard weapons of the Cadet Army, and I would like to give you a suggestion, your army can actually follow the path of the Northeast Army. Zhang Shaomaro of the Northeast Army has a deep personal relationship with Commander-in-Chief Ouyang, and if he is willing to come forward, Ouyang Yun will definitely sell this favor. β
While Angpos and the others were helping Clari with a plan to learn the standard weapons of the army, Huang Haifu returned to his headquarters and immediately instructed his communications staff to send a telegram to the commander-in-chief, truthfully reporting what happened in the nightclub.
After Ouyang Yun received the telegram, he immediately asked Pan Meiren to call Guo Kui and Huang Hua, and after discussing for about an hour, Ouyang Yun asked Pan Meiren to send a secret telegram to Xiang Shaoyun, instructing him how to do it.
At one o'clock in the morning of the next day, in the French barracks where Degu and his party first entered, Clarley was tossing and turning, when he suddenly heard a assembly whistle blowing, and then the sound of footsteps sounded - he was slightly surprised, got up and opened the door to look, and saw several barracks nearby, and the French soldiers of the brigade rushed out of the barracks in full armor and began to count the roll call, he thought to himself: Is this an emergency assembly training at night? Or is there a war going on?
Captain Gormande also came out, saw him approaching and shouted, "General, you have also been awakened?" β
Clarley smiled wryly, "I wasn't asleep at all. Captain, what do you think of the weapons and equipment of the Cadet Army? β
"The weapons of the Cadet Corps are indeed more advanced than ours, General, you are right. But if you really want to achieve it, it will not be easy. β
"No matter how difficult it is, I'm going to give it a try. Captain, after you send Degu back, go find the Commander-in-Chief, and I'll have a report for you to bring back. Please also report to him truthfully what you think of the weapons of the Cadet Army. Do you know the truth? Compared with individual weapons, I value the fighters and tanks of the Cadet Army more! Hey, I really didn't expect that such a weak country would develop such advanced weapons in just a few years, and we didn't even notice it! β
"General, I remember."
(Old poison: the kindness of the brothers, the old poison is remembered, as for the addition, it is inadequate, it is embarrassing that we will also be on duty during the Spring Festival, considering that the New Year's affairs will be busy, in fact, I want to ask the brothers for leave a little less)
