When Churchill was in Daguang Wavell, Ouyang Yunzheng, Chu Tiange and others were screening their favorite targets on the information that Chang Gen had just sent about the British Far East Fleet, which was later known as the Z Fleet.

Unlike the British's negligence in the intelligence of the Cadet Army, since the day the Fox Pupil was established, Ouyang Yun, who had great "ambitions", asked them to pay attention to collecting military intelligence from the great powers of the World Continent. And now, this arrangement of his really came in handy.

Clarley and Wavell definitely didn't expect that before Ouyang Yun entered the venue this morning, his expectations were actually only the Far East Fleet. Negotiations are like this, one side retreats and the other side will inevitably advance. Since the British were willing to give in, he naturally did not care that he was branded "insatiable" by foreigners.

At this time, the Far Eastern Fleet was actually crippled because of the loss of the Prince of Wales and the battleship Counterattack. Of course, for the Cadet Army, which is quite hungry for naval ships, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, and Ouyang Yun does not mind taking the four "Admiralty V-class" destroyers for modification to make up for the lack of aircraft carrier frigates.

"It's not necessary to come over and eat too ugly, just these four 'Admiralty V-class' destroyers," Ouyang Yun said after thinking twice.

Chu Tiange was a layman to the ship, he was even more greedy than Ouyang Yun, and he always felt comfortable taking it all, so he said, "Big brother, didn't you say that the 'Z Fleet' is almost crippled?" Presumably, the British will not cherish it too much, so they just have to come over, even if it is worth a lot of money when scrap iron is sold. ”

Guo Kui laughed, pointed at him and said: "Wavell said that the commander-in-chief is insatiable, I think he got the wrong person, and the most insatiable person is you, the assistant." ”

Chu Tiange just said it casually, so the matter was decided.

Except for Ouyang Yun, the others in the Cadet Army were quite unimpressed with the "Admiralty V-class", but when Chu Tiange proposed this condition in the talks the next day, the British were enraged.

"Insult, this is an insult, we must not agree to this request," Wavell shouted as he stood up and pounded the table before he could finish his sentence. And Clarry also glared at Chu Tiange with an unkind face, changing his previous mild style.

Ouyang Yun and they miscalculated one thing, the four old "Admiralty V-class" destroyers were just chicken ribs in their eyes, but in the eyes of the British, this was the pride of the Royal Navy of Great Britain, and it was a traditional symbol of the empire on which the sun never set to maintain its prosperity - the British Empire was able to rise because of the defeat of the Spanish "Invincible Armada" in the Battle of Gravolina in 1858, so although Wavell and Clarley were army generals, In his bones, he is also proud that the empire has the most powerful navy in the world, which belongs to a traditional sense of pride that is integrated into the blood. Chu Tiange's request for them to use four "Admiralty V-class" destroyers as compensation for the cadet army's rescue of Singapore's captured British soldiers was really an insult to them.

The British's reaction was unprecedentedly fierce, and Ouyang Yun realized that there was something wrong with Chu Tiange's words, but he couldn't match it for a while. His eyes narrowed involuntarily, and he said slowly, "Gentlemen, have you overreacted? We're just putting forward our conditions, can we afford it? As far as I know, the four 'Admiralty V-class' destroyers were from 1916 and should have been phased out a long time ago. Of course, if you think that four old warships are not as good as more than 30,000 living officers and men, I have nothing to say about it. ”

Thinking that the minutes of the meeting could be signed today, Ouyang Yun asked Shinawatra to participate as a notary.

Shinawatra was also interested, and immediately stood up and said in English: "Talks, disagreements are inevitable. General Wavell and General Chu Tiange only put forward conditions, and did not force you to agree, you can also put forward other exchange conditions. ”

Wavell's face was still red at the moment, and he glared at Chu Tiange hatefully and said: "The pride of Great Britain will never be allowed to be tarnished, no matter how old the 'Admiralty V-class' is, but it is also an active ship of the Royal Navy, if you bite this point, then there is no need to talk about it." ”

The British attitude was quite unfriendly, Chu Tiange was enraged, he looked at Wavell with the same sharp gaze, and sneered: "Commander Wavell, this time you don't need to ask London for instructions?" ”

"Yes!" Wavell replied categorically.

His tone was so affirmative, Ouyang Yun's brows couldn't help but frown even tighter, and he secretly wondered in his heart: "I didn't expect the British to have such blood, could it be that the boiled duck flew like this?" ”

If the talks cannot proceed, then the Far Eastern Fleet will definitely have extravagant hopes.

When Shinawatra saw that the talks might be completely deadlocked, he quickly smiled and said, "Maybe we can do it another way!" For example, lend-"

"That's not going to work either!" Wavell said firmly.

Ouyang Yun was also angry at this time, he slapped the table and stood up and shouted: "Apologizing is the basis for the continuation of military cooperation between our two countries, since this is the case, there is no need to continue talking." Heavenly song, let's go! Then he lifted his legs and walked out of the city. Chu Tiange glanced at Wavell and Clarry, and followed him with a cold snort.

Seeing them walk out of the gate and disappear, Clary calmed down first, he glanced at Shinawatra who was wiping sweat with a handkerchief, and then cautiously said to Wavell, who was still indignant: "Commander-in-chief, we? ”

Wavell turned his head and said, "Go!" He also walked out of the city with his head held high.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Ouyang Yun, Chu Tiange, Guo Kui and others were sitting together and regretting that the "Far East Fleet in hand" had flown off, and Chang Gen sent another telegram. After reading this telegram, Ouyang Yun sighed for a long time, and his face first had a greedy look that almost drooled, and then turned into a wry smile. He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Changgen has the means, you can see." ”

Guo Kui took it over first, and after reading it, his face was quite strange, and he handed the telegram to Chu Tiange and said, "No matter how good the meat is, it's useless if you can't eat it in your mouth." Commander-in-Chief, are our demands really excessive? ”

In this telegram, Tsunee reported that it had just been discovered that the British were building an aircraft carrier in Karachi, which was now nearing completion.

After reading this telegram, Chu Tiange's eyes lit up at first, and then dimmed, and he responded to Guo Kuidao: "Compared with the Far East Fleet of the French, the four old warships are not worth mentioning at all, I really don't know what nerves the British have." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Ouyang Yun had already figured it out, and he said: "From the position of the British, we have really gone too far. Ge Laozi, I really didn't expect the British to have such blood. However, the issue of compensation for expatriates must not be compromised, otherwise it will be a disaster for future generations. Liu Kui! ”

"Here!"

"Go find Song Yuanzhuang and Lei Tianwei."

"Yes!"

After Liu Kui ran away, Guo Kui asked, "Commander-in-chief, what are you looking for them?" ”

Ouyang Yun glanced at him and said, "I'll let them take the death squad to the outside of Wavell's residence." Ge Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu made the British hungry to death! ”

Guo Kui and Chu Tiange looked at each other, and the former said, "Commander-in-chief, it's not kind for you to do this. ”

"It's not kind, the Far Eastern Fleet can't get it, there are good fruits for the British to eat!" Ouyang Yun said viciously.

Guo Kui and Chu Tiange glanced at each other again, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but twitch - after following Ouyang Yun for a long time, they knew the weight of this sentence, and they couldn't help but feel sorry for the British in their hearts - for the sake of four old warships, is it worth provoking the commander-in-chief (big brother)?
