The letter is really the handwriting of Jean Deju. The French have been operating in Vietnam for many years. With deep roots, Ombos was imprisoned as governor by relying on the Cadet Army, but he did not gain the allegiance of the interests of French planters. The French underground power in Vietnam was still in the hands of Roland and Jean Deju, and it was by virtue of this unfortunate force that they not only evaded the pursuit of French patrols, but also continued to be active in the Hanoi area, and even infiltrated the center of the heavily guarded governor's palace to deliver the letter to Degu.

Let Deju and Degu have a good personal relationship, which is the reason why he dares to take the initiative to contact him in the context of the rumors in Hanoi. Jean Deju hoped to meet with Degu to discuss a way out for the French colonies in the Far East. In his letter, he mentioned that in view of the fact that the war that took place in the Indochina Peninsula was actually a three-way wrestling between China, Japan and Britain, and that the Japanese army had the upper hand in the current situation, the most correct choice was to cooperate with the Japanese in order to protect France's interests in the Far East.

Moving from the ground to the underground, the French's intelligence-gathering capabilities were greatly reduced. The return of the Far East Fleet gave Jean Deku hope of regaining control of the Federation of Indochina - he thought that he would definitely not be willing to live under Ompos with his knowledge of Degu, and believed that with the Chinese fully controlling the situation in Hanoi, his people might not necessarily consider cooperating with the Japanese army, but he did not expect that because there were British around him, even if Degu agreed with his suggestion in his heart, it was impossible to take practical action.

After reading Jean Deju's letter, he felt that Clari was staring at him with blazing eyes, and Degu had a brain teaser, handed him the letter and said, "You can also take a look, let Deju want to meet me." ”

Clarley was not polite, took it and looked at it, and said to him: "It seems that Jean Deju and Roland are pro-Japanese." General, it's interesting that there are actually three kinds of forces in the current Indochina Federation. ”

"I won't cooperate with the Japanese, the Chinese are certainly not a good thing, but the Japanese are definitely worse than them - I heard that the captured officers and soldiers of your army are not treated fairly in the prisoner of war camp," Degu quickly affirmed his opinion, and at the end, a little irritated Clary.

The appearance of the German sentence was beyond Clarley's expectations. The British had thought that they had all been secretly executed by the Cadet Army or Angbos, and their presence undoubtedly complicated the situation in Hanoi. Clary's brows furrowed slightly, and he was thinking about how to do what was best for him, but outside the window, the messenger couldn't hold on, and he whispered: "General Degu, let Minister Degu hope that you can reply to him, and please hurry up, my legs are already numb!" ”

Degu glanced at Clari and said, "I've decided to meet with Jean Deju." There are some things that I can't just listen to Ompos. With that, he sat down, took out a pen and paper, and began to write a reply.

Clarley also felt that he should meet with Jean, "maybe I can try to convince him," he thought, and said nothing more.

In the following days, Degu and his entourage, accompanied by Ompos, visited the camp of the French army and mercenaries. Of the three army divisions under the command of Ompos, one brigade has been replaced with the standard equipment of the Cadet Corps. It's one thing to look at it from afar, it's another thing to see it up close. When they passed by the 1st Mountain Division, Degu and Clary, as well as the captain of the "Gomande", were also surprised by the advanced weaponry of the Cadet Army, but when they could enter the Jiguang type chariot and operate the Weiqing-type and disease-type firearms themselves, it felt completely different.

The main opponents of the British now were actually the Germans, and the Germans feared them the most in the chariot troops. For this reason, Clarley subconsciously propped up a balance in his heart, comparing the German No. 4 tank and the Jiguang land reform, and then was surprised to find that the performance parameters of the Jiguang land reform were more than one grade higher than the German No. 4 tank.

Clarley focused on strategic weapons such as chariots, while Captain Armand was more interested in light weapons. As a company of French soldiers was firing live ammunition under the supervision of the Cadet Training Corps, he cheekily asked Angbos to test fire, and the latter generously asked his subordinates to give him a Weiqing-style assault rifle and a magazine. The former spent five minutes figuring out the performance of the Weiqing-style assault rifle, and then played with spot-shot, short-burst, and burst shots once, and then he couldn't put down the gun in his hand and almost refused to return it.

Out of politeness, Xiang Shaoyun accompanied Degu and his entourage to visit. Captain "Gomande" walked up to Xiang Shaoyun with the Weiqing-style assault rifle in his arms, and asked modestly: "Major, how much does this gun cost?" ”

Before Xiang Shaoyun could answer, Evan beside him answered first: "What? Fancy our guns? ”

"Yes, General, may I take the liberty of making a request? Can this gun be given to me? ”

Ivan looked at Ompos, who nodded quietly. He waved his hand very boldly and said, "Of course you can!" The gun is yours! ”

Because of this episode, the hostility of "Gomande" towards the Cadet Training Corps has been reduced a lot, and even with it, Degu and Clari also treated Xiang Shaoyun with three points.

After Xiang Shaoyun felt this change, his face was silent and he was secretly amused, and he said in his heart: "The tank we sold to the French is still the initial model, if we sell them the current main tank, then wouldn't these foreign devils have to pretend to be grandchildren?" ”

After three French divisions, there were the so-called mercenaries.

After all, the French were the temporary masters of the Indochina Federation, and after so many years of operation, it was much more convenient for them to recruit locals as soldiers than to recruit soldiers. The size of the "National Independent Liberation Army" under the Cadet Army was only about two divisions, and the French "mercenaries" already had five divisions. These main force, the plantation owner's convoy and the mercenaries of the local police, have now begun to take shape after months of training, and their weapons and equipment will be eliminated by the French after changing their clothes.

Whether it is Angbos, Evan and Saqimon, they are now quite superstitious about Ouyang Yun. Except for the fact that the instructors of the mercenaries are French, all other training methods and salary systems are formulated with the help of the cadet training group.

Degu and Clari were unimpressed when they first heard that they were going to visit mercenaries made up entirely of locals. Out of extreme knowledge and distrust of the locals, Degu didn't say anything, but in his heart he thought it was just nonsense. Although Clary thought that this was a good way to raise cannon fodder, he thought of the performance of the Indian army in the battle of Singapore, shook his head and thought in his heart: Although cannon fodder must be there, if you go to the battlefield and collapse at the touch of a button, it will be too much of a blow to the morale of the main force, so it is better not to have it.

When they didn't witness it with their own eyes, neither of them was optimistic about mercenaries. And when they came out of the mercenary barracks, their minds changed completely. Degu began to care about another question, and he asked Ampos: "Will the conditions on the wall really be honored?" ”

Ombos nodded.

Degu blinked: "Then the Indochina Federation will go bankrupt!" ”

Angbos replied: "As long as you can restore the country, what about bankruptcy?" ”

Degu exclaimed, "Ompos, you are crazy! ”

Ampos shook his head and said, "No, I'm not crazy. I just found the meaning of life again! ”

The so-called "conditions on the wall" in Degu's mouth refer to the conditions that Ampos gave to the mercenaries. Foreign mercenaries who joined the French Restoration Army were not paid a fixed salary, and their remuneration was linked to the war. Performing a mission and killing an enemy will be rewarded, especially for killing enemies and winning big battles, which are quite rewarding. Even the mercenaries privately calculated that as long as they could go to the European battlefield, killing five German soldiers would be enough for them to enjoy for a lifetime.

Angpos did not say that the Indochina Federation belonged to the locals, and he used the land property that belonged to the locals to pay the locals, but in fact he was buying and selling without capital. And if he could defeat the Germans and restore the country, he believed that the new French government would never care if he mortgaged the Indochina Confederation.
