Chapter 3: What to do
"Commander-in-chief, you said that the Japanese fleet suddenly appeared on Chuuk Island, what do they want to do?" Qi Minghao asked.
Ouyang Yun raised his head and said, "If my estimate is right, the Japanese are for the Dutch East Indies." The embargo imposed by the United States on Japan is tantamount to cutting off Japan's oil lifeline. And Sumatra is rich in oil, and Yamamoto Fifty-six is a good move! Come and see—"
Chen Yuanyang, Qi Minghao, Jiang Huangyong and others all surrounded them.
Ouyang Yun's fingers pointed west from the direction of Chuk Island, landing on the Dutch East Indies, and then to the northwest and falling on French Indochina, and then asked, "Do you understand?" ”
Everyone looked up at him and saw that his face was heavy, and they couldn't help but be affected, and their expressions became solemn.
Jiang Huangyong pointed to Guangxi and said: "Little sir, do you think that the Japanese will attack the Dutch East Indies first, and then attack French Indochina?" And once French Indochina is captured by the Japanese, then they will be able to attack our country from Hanoi-"
"Not bad," Ouyang Yun replied.
The others, except for Jiang Huangyong, were all silent. Originally, I thought that it was a blessing for the student army that the Japanese fleet did not appear in Taiwan, but when I came back from a circle, I found that this was not the case at all. In the end, the Japanese soldiers pointed out that China was still the student army.
Jiang Huangyong: "Will the Japanese fight the Philippines first?" The Philippines is stuck between Chuuk Island and Indonesia. ”
Ouyang Yun asked rhetorically: "Do you think that with Japan's current strength, it can challenge the United States?" ”
Jiang Huangyong's brows furrowed, he thought about it and sighed: "It's true, the Japanese are not so stupid." So, is there a possibility that the Americans will intervene to stop it? ”
"If you were American, would you do it?" Ouyang Yun asked rhetorically.
Jiang Huangyong thought for a moment, and said dejectedly: "It's none of my business, if I were an American, as long as the Japanese don't infringe on my interests, I will definitely not meddle in my affairs." In this case, junior sir, should we contact Chief Li and Chief Bai, if there is no garrison of our army in Guangxi, it will be vulnerable at all. ”
The Xuebing Army would have had a chance to enter Guangxi, but Ouyang Yun never had this idea. It's not that I don't want to, but I can't, I don't dare. Although the Gui family has existed in name only, as long as Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi are still there, then if the Xuebing army enters Guangxi, it will be tantamount to forcibly occupying the territory of the Gui family. In today's China, although the Chongqing government claims to be the central government, the factions are still very complicated. As long as this situation can be maintained, then the central government of Chongqing will not dare to blatantly encroach on Fujian and Yueqiong, but will only play some small actions behind the scenes. And if the student army enters Guangxi, the nature will be different. Even if Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi don't mind, what will Long Yun, Erma in the northwest, Fu Zuoyi and Yan Xishan in Shanxi think? The Xuebing Army can swallow the territory of the Gui family today, who knows if he will swallow his own territory one day? After all, Lao Jiang is from an orthodox GMD, and he is in the name of the central government, what kind of thing is he Ouyang Yun?
The current situation in Guangxi is complicated. According to the division of power, the eastern part is equivalent to the territory of the student army because of the existence of cooperatives and self-defense forces. The central areas such as Nanning and Liuzhou belong to the range of traditional Gui power. The areas bordering Hunan, Guizhou, and Yunnan have been occupied by the Central Army and the Yunnan Army. The composition of Guangxi's forces is so complex that it is certainly difficult to ensure that it will be able to unite against the enemy in the event of a Japanese invasion. However, Guangxi is the western barrier of the Scholar Army, and once Guangxi is breached, the Scholar Army will really be under siege by the Japanese army.
"I'm not worried about Guangxi, if the Japanese army really opens up a front in the southwest, the Chongqing government will also have to consider the problem of being exposed to the enemy on the back. I'm worried about Hainan, because if the Japanese capture Vietnam, it will be too convenient to attack Hainan Island," Mr. Chen said. As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, and exclaimed to Ouyang Yun: "Commander-in-chief, if this is the case, the existence of the Fourth Division in Osaka will be a scourge." This can't be an ambush prepared by the Japanese, right? ”
Others were reminded by him to turn their attention to Vietnam and Hainan Island, and Qi Minghao said: "It's really possible." We foreigners can see that the Osaka Fourth Division can't fight a war, and the Japanese themselves can't feel it, right? So that's what happened. ”
Ouyang Yun glanced up at everyone, frowned slightly, and said, "What you have analyzed has a certain amount of truth, but what I'm most worried about is not these. I wonder what we should do if the Japanese are playing some kind of 'Co-Eirean Army' in Southeast Asia. The population base of Southeast Asia is not small, and now it is a colony of Western countries, if the Japanese enter under the banner of 'common prosperity', with their current policy towards the puppet army, they will definitely be able to pull up a huge number of subordinate troops. ”
"Southeast Asians aren't that stupid, are they?" Turmeric Yongtian said with his lips.
Ouyang Yun looked at him: "Are North Koreans stupid?" Are we Chinese stupid? There is scum in every nation. This would have been nothing, after all, the proportion of scum could not be too high. But the most terrible thing is that in the minds of those Southeast Asian monkeys, the Japanese are not invaders, but saviors. ”
"So, what do we do?" A staff officer was frightened by Ouyang Yun's words and stammered.
yes, what do we do? Everyone's eyes were focused on Ouyang Yun, and their faces became heavy.
Ouyang Yun exhaled lightly, suddenly smiled, and said lightly but firmly: "It's not a big deal, there must be a way." A lie is a lie, and even if it is said 10,000 times, it is still a lie. The aggressor is always the aggressor, and no matter how he whitewashes himself, there will be a time when he will show his flaws. Huang Yong, get ready to go back to Guangzhou. Lao Chen, Ming Hao, Xu Kai, the Japanese fleet has gone thousands of miles away, and it is a good opportunity for you to start training. We should seize the time to train and make the troops mature as soon as possible. Remember, the future of the Cadet Army is at sea! ”
"Yes!" Chen Yuanyang, Qi Minghao and Xu Kai raised their hands in response to the salute loudly.
Xu Kai is the commander of the submarine force of the Haikou fleet, and now has 16 submarines of all sizes under his command. And if nothing else, he will definitely become the commander of a certain fleet in the future.
The expected life-and-death battle in Taiwan did not happen, but a more severe reality was placed in front of Ouyang Yun. Don't look at him in front of the officers of the Dongshan Fleet, he was full of confidence and calm, but in fact, his heart was bubbling with cold.
To use an illusory analogy, if the Pacific Ocean is China's gate, then the Indian Ocean is China's backyard. There was a fire at the front door, China was already exhausted, and if there was smoke in the backyard again, then - once he thought of the hundreds of thousands of Southeast Asian monkeys suddenly appearing on the border of Guangxi, Ouyang Yun couldn't help but shudder, and almost didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
