Inside the small living room of the Zhang Mansion. The first thing Mu Jiandie did when he saw Zhang Shaoshuai was to congratulate him: "Young Marshal, congratulations!" ”

Zhang Shaoshuai came to see him because he was reluctant to be in a mood, and he didn't care if it was rude when he heard the words, and frowned: "Director Mu, are you making fun of me?" ”

Mu Jiandie smiled: "Don't dare, young marshal, I'm sincere." ”

Zhang Shaoshuai smiled bitterly: "Speaking of which, your student army and our Northeast Army are actually suffering from the same disease. Well, no, you seem to have been trying to get into Southeast Asia. Hey, our Northeast Army has already turned away from its homeland, and now it's a good thing that even the country has to deviate. It's ironic to think that a few days ago I had recommended you to visit Hodford and Ungbos to advise the Cadet Army on entering Southeast Asia, and now looking back, it seems that our Northeast Army had already had this intention. ”

Zhang Shaoshuai took Mu Jiandie to visit Hodford and Angbos, which was purely to help the student army, but now public opinion in Chongqing unanimously believes that he is preparing for the Northeast Army to enter Southeast Asia. The Chongqing government formed an expeditionary force, and there were many critics in the country, believing that it still had a large part of its own land to fall, and how could it have the ability and qualifications to help the British and French. And even more unbearable remarks believe that the Northeast Army just wants to evade the duty of the War of Resistance, after all, the Northeast Army has had the experience of non-resistance.

Mu Jiandie has heard of these rumors, and he also knows who is behind the scenes. He said: "Young Marshal, some rumors on the market are all done by people with ulterior motives and short-sightedness, why do you care about these people? After speaking, he took out Ouyang Yun's telegram from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "This is the telegram sent to you by our commander-in-chief, and after you read it, you will know why I want to congratulate you." ”

Zhang Shaoshuai frowned slightly and took the telegram, swept it hastily, and his eyes were immediately attracted. It took him five minutes to read the telegram, and in the process, his brow slowly opened, his expression became thoughtful, and at last he let out a soft breath and could not help but fall into deep thought.

Ouyang Yun mentioned three things in the telegram, the first of which was about the military deployment of the expeditionary force. He suggested that the Cadet Corps should assist in the defense of the French Indochina Federation, while the Northeast Army and the British Army should assist in the defense of Thailand, Burma, and India. Secondly, he mentioned the issue of logistics support, and offered that he come forward to negotiate with Long Yun, and patted his chest and assured that with his understanding of Long Yun, he would not do a villainous thing on such a major issue of right and wrong. Finally, he spoke about the future of the expeditionary force. In fact, this is what the young marshal is most worried about - there is a way that it is easy to go out and difficult to come back, he is not worried that the Northeast Army will be consumed because of this expedition, but he has to worry about the future of the Northeast Army after the end of the Anti-Japanese War. Ouyang Yun proposed in a joking tone that he had been thinking about how to take revenge on the 918 suffering imposed by the Japanese on the people of Northeast China, and if the Northeast Army was interested, he might as well consider going to the Japanese mainland with the Cadet Army, and also give the Japanese the whole 918. He also said that many countries in Southeast Asia have been vassals of China since ancient times, and as suzerains, they have the right to garrison troops to protect these weak countries - if we want to stay, the reason is too legitimate. It's just that I guess the British and the French will definitely not agree, there is a way that it is easy to invite God and send God, so let them have a headache at that time. At the end of the telegram, Ouyang Yun mentioned that the expeditionary force seemed to be a conspiracy for the Northeast Army, but in fact it was an opportunity to be reborn. The Northeast Army's entry into Southeast Asia is just like a dragon entering the sea, and it will inevitably rise again, which is a gratifying and congratulatory thing. It is the luck of himself and the officers and men under his command that the Cadet Army can cooperate with the Northeast Army, and in order to show the importance and sincerity of this cooperation, the Cadet Army will present a batch of equipment.

"Brother Ouyang is still as optimistic as ever, so it seems that the student army is determined to win in Southeast Asia?" After pondering for a while, the young marshal put away the message and said to Mu Jiandie.

Mu Jiandie: "In public and private, it is impossible for us to let the Japanese act recklessly in Southeast Asia. Young Marshal, I don't think you are very happy, don't you think this is an opportunity for the Northeast Army to rise again? ”

"Director Mu, you are taking this matter too simply. As for the command of the expeditionary force, although I am the commander-in-chief, it seems that I still have to listen to the joint command. The British and French were so eager for us to enter Southeast Asia, and they made it clear that they wanted us to be cannon fodder. I have investigated the armies of the British and French, and to put it mildly, their armies are the Young Master Soldiers. I'm worried that if there is a big battle, such friendly forces will ruin our efforts. ”

"Young Marshal, our commander-in-chief has actually taken into account the question you raised. Hehe, he said, we beat ours, they beat theirs. Will there be no order for the king! Hehe, otherwise what would it be called a dragon into the sea? Young Marshal, take a look at this, this is a list of equipment that our Cadet Army has gifted to your army," Mu Jiandie said, taking out a piece of paper from his arms and handing it to Young Marshal Zhang.

The Northeast Army did not lack weapons and equipment. When they evacuated the three northeastern provinces, not to mention how many belongings they brought out, the number of troops alone was 300,000 troops. After the reorganization, the strength of the army was reduced by one-third, but the weapons and equipment remained. If it had been placed in the past, Zhang Shaoshuai would definitely not be interested in this list. However, now, with the successive victories of the Cadet Army in major battlefields, the standard weapons of the Cadet Army have also become famous, and even their reputation has spread to foreign countries. The weight of this paper list is different.

Thirty Great Wall off-road vehicles, 15 "Jiguang Z-II" heavy armored vehicles, 12 "Jiguang ZH-120" self-propelled howitzers, 2,000 Weiqing-style submachine guns and a number of bullets, 100 Weiqing-style assault rifles and grenades with grenade launchers, and 20 walkie-talkies with a range of 15 kilometers...... In addition, there are a large number of field tents and various tropical medicines.

When Zhang Shaoshuai was inspecting the list, Mu Jiandie was carefully observing on the side, seeing that his waist was getting straighter and straighter, his expression became solemn, and he was sure in his heart, and when he put down the list, he asked: "Young Marshal, I don't know if you are still satisfied?" ”

The young marshal nodded and said, "It's too precious, please be sure to thank Brother Ouyang on my behalf, I understand his hard work." ”

Mu Jiandie: "This batch of materials will be handed over in Laos. Young Marshal, at that time, the commander-in-chief will take the initiative to contact your department. ”

The young marshal thought for a moment and said, "It seems that it is necessary to establish a special secret electronic system." Speaking of shame, Brother Ouyang took everything into account and took over all the chores. Well, there are some things that we should wait until we both move to our respective camps in Southeast Asia. Director Mu, has the list of your army's westward troops been decided? ”

"It has been preliminarily determined, but it still needs the approval of the commander-in-chief."

The young marshal waved his hand: "Don't be so polite." We are not outsiders, so let's just say something. Brother Ouyang's suggestion on the division of the war zone between you and me is good, so let's follow his arrangement. I'm called Commander-in-Chief, but I'm not going to dry up the actions of the Army. You have the final say on which troops the student army will send to the west. If you need my help, please feel free to ask. ”

"That's great, young marshal, here I will thank you for my commander-in-chief, Xie Lu," Mu Jiandie said with a smile.

"Director Mu, see outside, our Northeast Army and your Scholar Army are now comrades-in-arms in a trench."

"Yes, Ha Luha, young marshal, then I will leave first. Happy cooperation! ”

"It must be pleasant! We're going to Tokyo together! ”

"Yes, Ha Lu Ha!"
