The French troops were immediately pulled out of the camp after an emergency assembly. The team of two or three thousand people all drove out in less than ten minutes. Clarley saw all this, made a comparison in his heart, and helplessly found that the reaction speed of this French army had surpassed that of the British army, he sighed at the ability of the Cadet Training Corps, and was about to go back to the house, when suddenly a voice broke not far away: "Who?" Password! ”

Captain "Gomand" reacted quite quickly, immediately turned around and took a few steps in front of him, and opened the safety with the pistol in his hand.

After Clarley was held hostage in a nightclub, the British did not trust the French. Captain "Gomand" arranged a secret guard around the barracks where they were staying, and it was a "Gomand" who was now giving out the drink.

The person who came was Xiang Shaoyun. He said fluently in English, "Don't get me wrong, I'm here to meet General Clarley at his invitation. ”

The "Gomande" secret sentry didn't know about it, he asked Xiang Shaoyun to wait, and was about to warn and summon his companions, Clarry's heart moved when he heard this, and he said to the captain of "Gomande": "Let him come." ”

Xiang Shaoyun appeared in front of the two Englishmen with his hands outstretched, and Clarley and Captain "Gormande" looked at each other, both feeling a little surprised. They had met Xiang Shaoyun, and they knew that he was the person in charge of the Cadet Training Corps. Seeing the power of the teaching regiment, and not knowing its intentions, Captain "Gormande" was very vigilant, he still protected Clarley to the death, and asked, "Major, why are you here at this time?" ”

Xiang Shaoyun glanced at Clarley and smiled: "Didn't General Clarley invite me here?" ”

Clary suddenly came to his senses, and said with a smile, "Please come in, please come in," and then instructed Captain "Gormand": "You stay outside and don't let anyone else in!" ”

"General?"

Clary glanced at Xiang Shaoyun and said, "I really invited him here, don't worry!" ”

"Yes!"

Clarley and Xiang Shaoyun entered the room one after the other, Clarley closed the door behind him, and said with a smile: "Welcome, Major Xiang, it's a pleasure for you to visit late at night, please take a seat." With that, he went to get a water bottle and poured water.

Xiang Shaoyun sat down with a slight smile and said, "General, don't be busy, I'm here to talk about big business with you, let's hurry up and get down to business." ”

Clary glanced at him, put down the water bottle and sat down, and said, "Major Xiang is quick to talk, then I won't be hypocritical, but I don't know what big business you want to talk to me about?" The emergency gathering just now was your handiwork, right? ”

"Yes. General, I heard that you like our weapons very much? ”

"Major Xiang is very well-informed! That's right, the weapons and equipment of your army, I like it very much. If possible, I would like to be able to get a large number right away. ”

"Can you be more detailed?"

"Army, we have four divisions in Burma, seven divisions in India, and if you count the Australian Army, then there are fifteen divisions in total, including four armored divisions. If possible, I would like to replace all of your army's weapons and equipment. We have one division in Burma and three divisions in India, and we also hope to be able to equip all of your army's latest fighters, including the 'Flying Fortress'. ”

Clarry didn't finish his words, Xiang Shaoyun shook his head and smiled bitterly. The appetite of the British is too great, and with the current production capacity of the cadet army, it will be used to meet the needs of the British, and it will take at least a year or so. But the question is, can the British afford to wait? How can the needs of the Cadet Army itself and the French Restoration Army be met? "The commander-in-chief should have calculated this point before mentioning that the production line can be exported," Xiang Shaoyun thought so and asked, "General, is this your personal idea or the meaning of Commander-in-Chief Wavell of your army?" You should know that such a large amount of equipment is worth a lot of money! ”

Xiang Shaoyun asked the point in a word, Clarley couldn't help but blush when he heard this, and he said with his heavenly lips: "For the time being, this is just my personal idea, but I can guarantee that as long as I can go back with the sample, Commander-in-Chief Wavell will definitely agree to my proposal." ”

Xiang Shaoyun looked at him and said with a smile, "General, it seems that I didn't come at the right time." ”

Clarley was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "No, no, it's time." Another task of escorting Commander Degu to Hanoi this time is to investigate the possibility of cooperation with your army. Although I can only speak for my personal opinion now, I am confident that once Commander-in-Chief Wavell receives my report, he will agree to my proposal! Major, in fact, whether our army can export stronger combat power is closely related to the strategic intention that your army wants to achieve in the Indochina Federation. It is a win-win move for your army to export weapons and equipment to our side. ”

"I'll just choose to trust you?"

"Of course, I certainly deserve your trust."

"So let's talk deeper?"

"It's good, it's good, this is the attitude that allies should have."

"Let's put it slowly, although our commander-in-chief has authorized me to negotiate business with you, it is only business. General, I can see that you are a pragmatic person, and you do not have the hypocrisy and arrogance characteristic of a politician, so I will not fight with you in words. The opinion of our commander-in-chief is that it is possible to supply your army with several production lines, as well as a certain amount of equipment, and in exchange, in addition to the corresponding remuneration, we need the French 'Far Eastern Fleet'! ”

"What? The Far Eastern Fleet of the French? Major, Commander-in-Chief Ouyang's appetite is too great. Don't you think this doesn't make sense at all? We can't be the masters of the French—" Clarley suddenly became agitated.

Xiang Shaoyun just looked at him with a smile.

Ouyang Yun suddenly started the idea of the French Far East Fleet, and when he just revealed this idea, he was unanimously questioned by Guo Kui and others. They can't figure it out, the French Far East Fleet is in the Indian Ocean at this time, not to mention that the hand of the student army can't reach through it at all, even if it can, the French won't agree.

"Commander-in-chief, you don't want to use Angbos and others as hostages to make an overlord a hard bow, right?" Guo Kui made an inappropriate analogy, and other than that, he really couldn't think of any way to achieve this.

Ouyang Yun shook his head, spit out a smoke ring and said, "Are we Xuebing soldiers such rude and rude people?" I'm going to take it openly! ”

Guo Kui shook his head violently: "Incredible! ”

Huang Hua thought for a while and said, "Commander-in-chief, to say something unpleasant, I, I think it's a bit whimsical!" ”

"British!" Ouyang Yun gave a hint.

Guo Kui and Huang Hua were thoughtful.

The 1st Mountain Division suddenly showed its powerful armament, and Angbos and others thought it was for Degu to see, but in fact the Cadet Army was aimed at the British. Of course, if the British are not hot, Ouyang Yun has to think of other ways. But the question is, after the debacle in Singapore, can the British not be hot? At this time, the equipment of the British was a little worse than that of the national army, and it was almost the same as the academy army.

As for whether they will not be able to do it because of the "friendship" between Britain and France, Ouyang Yun is not worried at all.

The British were well-known for their selfishness in the history of World War II, and he had enough reason to believe that as long as he offered enough benefits, that is, to let the British sell his daughter-in-law, he would not frown, and besides, what about a fleet that could not be counted on by insignificant other countries?

Xiang Shaoyun was calm, and Clarley couldn't continue to pretend to be powerful, he said with a smile: "This matter is very important, and I can't be the master." Major, there is one thing you don't know yet, our commander-in-chief can count on the French Far East Fleet to help us against the anti-Japanese Western Expeditionary Fleet. ”

"You guys? Against the Japanese fleet of the Western Expedition? Ha, general, it's not that I deliberately belittled the strength of your army. Is it possible for you to think for yourself? The Far Eastern Fleet of the French, without a single aircraft carrier, what can they withstand? Well, I shouldn't have said much. General, our conditions are here, and whether your army accepts it or not is your business. By the way, our commander-in-chief said that he was willing to wait two weeks, because at the latest, the Japanese would definitely use troops against the Federation of Indochina, and then he would not have time to pay attention to the matter. General, I have conveyed everything that should be conveyed, then, farewell! ”
