Chapter 62: The Restoration Army
At the time of the Kampondra riots, Angbos, Evan, and others were arguing fiercely in Hanoi about the future of the French Indochina Federation. Since Raffarin's assassination, the French in the Far East have effectively split into two parts. Some of them were headed by the treasurer Roland, and their philosophy was to get by, and it would be good to keep the Indochina Federation of three acres of land; However, what Ampos and others are now bent on is to form a restoration army, hoping to one day return to Europe, liberate France from the Germans, and become a hero of the restoration of the country.
When Angbos was still in Chongqing, he was moved by Mu Jiandie's words, and he had the idea of forming a restoration army. And now, after seeing the neat military appearance and advanced weapons and equipment of the student army, his mood is even more enthusiastic - there is an old Chinese saying: If you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing the goods. Before meeting the Scholar Army, although Angbos found out some information about the Scholar Army through other channels, and knew that the Daoist Scholar Army was more powerful than the Central Army, but he had only heard about it, and he was not too impressed by it in his mind. It wasn't until he saw the Cadet Army with his own eyes that he really realized the difference between the French army and the other side, and he also thought about it: can he also build the French army in the Far East into such an army?
After reaching a tacit understanding with Evan and Saqimon, Ombos lobbied to persuade Roland and others to support his decision, so that he could use colonial income to buy equipment from the Cadet Army.
One wanted to keep it, the other wanted to forge ahead, and Ompos couldn't convince Roland for a while, so he simply convened the French elite from all departments and industries to hold this meeting.
The meeting has been going on for three days, but there has been no progress at all. At this moment, Evan was arguing with a large gardener named Dudley, when suddenly Engpos' lieutenant Borg hurried in. He walked straight behind Ompos, bowed his head and whispered something in his ear.
Angbos had only heard two sentences, and his face became extremely serious. The change in his expression was seen by Evan, who was loudly questioning Dudley, who immediately stopped and looked at Ampos quietly with the others.
When Borg raised his head, Roland couldn't help but ask, "What happened?" ”
"There has been a riot in Kampandra," said Ambos in a deep voice.
"What?" Roland exclaimed, and then asserted: "It must have been secretly instigated by the Chinese." Ombos, you should believe it by now, right? The Chinese are really forming the so-called 'National Independent Liberation Army', hum! Just by listening to this name, we should know what kind of thoughts the Chinese have, and do you still have illusions about the Chinese? ”
As soon as Roland finished speaking, a group of politicians, businessmen, and garden owners who supported him opened their mouths to express their opinions, and all of them pointed the spearhead at the Cadet Army and Omnis, all of whom believed that the entry of the Apprentice Army from Angerbos was a move to drive the wolf and the tiger behind. Some of them were more angry and even threatened to expel the Cadet Army by force and drive these yellow-skinned monkeys out of the Indochina Peninsula - the conference room became a vegetable market, and Evan couldn't stand it anymore, and slapped the table and shouted: "Quiet and quiet! Listen to the Governor-"
Angbos stood up, glanced at everyone and said, "Regarding the matter of the 'National Independent Liberation Army', Commander-in-Chief Ouyang greeted me. Their purpose in forming the 'National Independence Liberation Army' was not to target us, but to deal with the Japanese 'National Independence Army'. ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they heard Roland roaring: "You actually know about this matter? Okay, I said that there have been several incidents of mobs storming the garden in Kampandra, how can you ignore it? So you are already in collusion with the Chinese? Ladies and gentlemen, have you all heard? Our Governor-General, now you actually want to help the Chinese deal with us - Angbos, so to speak, your so-called purchase of weapons and equipment of the cadet army to transform the local division is also to help the Chinese fight the Japanese, right? ”
After Roland's remarks, Dudley suddenly stood up and shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen, in view of the fact that the Governor has betrayed us, I propose that the Governor be re-elected immediately. ”
"I agree!" Someone immediately followed the answer.
The crowd actually used the Kampong Drape riot to force the palace Angbos, which was unexpected by Angbos, Ivan and others. Angbos was already so angry that his face turned red, and Evan and the others had even more bruises on their faces. At this time, Saqimon, who had been silent, suddenly slapped the table and said coldly: "Gentlemen, you seem to have forgotten one thing - even if the riot in Kampandra was instigated by the cadet soldiers, even if the Chinese want to invade the Indochina Federation. I ask, what do you do to stop them? Do we still have those local police forces with our three divisions of local divisions? Ladies and gentlemen, it is not that I am willing to destroy the prestige of my own Chinese people, the real situation is that if the Chinese really want to use force against us, we will have no power to resist. ”
"This, this is not caused by you, it was you who brought in the Cadet Army - you are the standard wolf lure! You are to blame for this! ”
"Aren't there still British? We are allies with Britain. And the Americans, the Americans will help us -"
"British? The British are now beaten like lost dogs by the Japanese, and they can't protect themselves, will they have the energy to take care of us? American? Ladies and gentlemen, you still don't know the way, do you? Just a few days ago, the Americans just helped the Cadet Army complete a rescue of the new MCA ** - wake up, everyone, if you want to keep your financial situation, there is only one choice now, and that is to support us to cooperate with the Cadet Army! ”
"Joke, support your cooperation with the Cadet Army? This wealth that has been accumulated by generations of our family—"
"When a person dies, what's the use of being rich and rivaling a country?" The quarrel between the great garden owners and Thatchmon became more and more intense, and gradually began to turn to personal attacks-Thatchmon said this, which immediately angered Roland, and he stood up and pointed at Thatchmon and said, "Thatchmon, what are you talking about?" Are you still French? ”
"I am of course French, and a truly patriotic Frenchman. But you, are you still French? If it's still French, then your conscience is eaten by dogs? Seeing the land fall and the people become slaves, are you indifferent? Saqimon said loudly, aggressively.
"Thatchmon, you're messing around. As French, you should defend the rights of your compatriots, but what have you done? So now they are actually helping foreigners bully their own compatriots! ”
"That's it!" Omnis couldn't stand it anymore, and suddenly slapped the table and shouted, "General Saqimon, sit down!" And you guys - what happened in Kampong Dara**, I will investigate, and I will deal with it - I can assure you that we will definitely not lose control of the Federation of Indochina. Now, let's vote! Those who support us in forming the Restoration Army, please raise your hand! ”
