Chapter 268 Empty the cage and change the bird? (First update!) Among the three giants of the Guangxi clan, apart from Li Bai, the only remaining one is Huang Shaohong. Compared with the reputations of Li Bai and Li Bai, Huang Shaohong's reputation is not outstanding. Many people don't even know him. At this time, Gui Province has been assigned to the fourth theater. The commander of the fourth theater is Zhang Fakui. Zhang Fakui's qualifications are much older than the three of them. Originally, the station of the fourth theater was not in Guangxi Province. Later, when the front was defeated, he moved the headquarters of the fourth theater to the territory of the Gui clan. What's more important is that the Fourth Theater Command was very close to Hanoi at this time.

After taking Hanoi, Cun Yunsheng was thinking about how to face the fourth theater to the north. However, he thought for a long time but still didn't understand how to get along with each other. Unexpectedly, the other party took the initiative to contact him. And not just in the name of the Gui family, but in the name of Zhang Fakui, which is enough to show that the other party attaches great importance to the Sichuan Army. For a moment, Cun Yunsheng looked at the telegram in a daze. "Then let's continue selling weapons?" Meng Fanglia asked doubtfully. "Weapons..." Cun Yunsheng hesitated. His current military production capacity is still too low. According to his idea, a monthly output of 100,000 cigarettes would be considered a small achievement. Nowadays, thousands of rifles are produced every month, which is simply not available on the market. It is not impossible to sell weapons to the Guangxi clan. After all, he knows very well how strong the Guangxi wolf soldiers are. Tony's helmet appeared on the battlefield, but it caused a lot of fright to the Japanese army. This was the first time the Guangxi army fought with the Japanese army, and it was also the first time it faced a three-dimensional attack by the Japanese army. Countless Guangxi army officers and soldiers fell on the charge. Despite this, the officers and soldiers of the Gui army were not afraid and launched waves of charges one after another. They would rather die than retreat and endured for three days and three nights. This fearless spirit greatly shocked the Japanese army. In addition, the Guangxi Wolf Soldiers can be said to be the best mountain special forces. Before that, the one who had this title was Sauron Soldier. But they basically disappeared. There is a joke in later generations, "Guangxi people served as soldiers in troubled times to protect their homes and country, but in prosperous times they worked as farmers and cut sugar cane!" ‘Is the sugar cane ripe this year? ’

Therefore, Cun Yunsheng is not disgusted with selling weapons to the Gui army. The key problem is that he currently does not have enough production capacity. These weapons also had to be sold to Persia, adding to the chaos there. Because chaos is the ladder. If you follow the steps step by step, you will miss a lot of things. Li Si had already sent him several telegrams, explaining in detail that the indigenous people in the Middle East needed a large amount of weapons and ammunition. During this period, Li Si taught these natives a good lesson. The main thing is to talk about national independence and let these indigenous people know that this land belongs to them. They want to drive away the British and regain their own land. I have to say that this set of things really attracted many indigenous people. Many natives even called John Si their military advisor. Li Si also took the opportunity to win a large number of arms orders. As for the payment method? These miserable natives couldn't offer anything, they just said they could provide land and so on. Li Si had no interest in these deserts. He just kept in mind what Cun Yunsheng once mentioned, which was oil. So John Si asked that they use oil to pay for these arms. Now the natives were even more happy, thinking that Li Si's business was really fair. Do you know that they have been bullied by the British over the years and do business fairly? impossible! Therefore, when Li Si received a large number of orders, Cun Yunsheng had a headache. How could he have so many weapons and ammunition? There was no other way but to urge Fertig to find a way to speed up. "Li Si still has orders for five divisions, and I'm still worried." Cun Yunsheng sighed lightly. Now the whole world's attention is directed to the Persia-Mediterranean area. Otherwise, his arms business will definitely attract the attention of others. "Then you refused directly?" Meng Fanglia asked. "No, don't refuse for now, let me think about it again." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said. Hearing this, Meng Fanxiao hesitated for a moment, then bravely spoke. "Tuanzuo, I have some ideas. Look..."

Before he finished speaking, Cun Yunsheng got kicked by Cun Yunsheng. "If you have any nonsense, just tell me. It's just the two of us, there's nothing to be afraid of." Seeing this, Meng Fan stopped hiding it and spoke. "Tanzu, are we just like thieves now, doing everything in secret?" Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng frowned slightly. Although the words were a bit unpleasant, they were indeed true. "Yes, he is indeed like a thief. It makes me very unhappy and angry." "There is no way. This large area in the southwest is controlled too tightly by the mountain city. If we want to do something, we can't hide it from others." Meng Fan said, spreading his hands. "Then." Regarding this, Cun Yunsheng naturally knew that Long Yun, the native emperor of Yunnan Province who had not looked at it, was now trapped in Kunming and could not get out? If it weren't for the person he supported, who had already become the deputy director of Kunming Station, some of his little actions would have been known to others. "I suggest that we move directly to Hanoi." Meng Fan said and pointed to the map. "Hanoi is run by the French, and all facilities are very complete, and there are a lot of resources there." Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng felt like he was enlightened, his eyes widened and he stared at the map. yes! I was blinded by everything in front of me and forgot about this big piece of fat in Hanoi. More importantly, there are Guangning coalfields and iron ores in the north of Annan. This means that this is the best steelmaking base. Moreover, the terrain here is also mountainous, so it will be safer than in northern Myanmar. "Huh, you are right. Compared with other areas, Hanoi is richer in resources and is very close to Guangxi. If we can reach some cooperation, it may increase our development speed." Cun Yunsheng took a deep breath and said, Said slowly. This sentence confused Meng Fan for a while. What does this have to do with the speed of development? He simply felt that he was very unhappy because he was always making small fuss here, could not get on the stage, and was still sneaking around. "What do we have the most right now?" Cun Yunsheng asked with a smile, deliberately trying to show off. "Human? Weapon?" Meng Fangliao said without thinking. Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng rolled his eyes. "food." Cun Yunsheng looked like he hated iron. Sometimes this guy was extremely smart, and sometimes he was stupid. "The most indispensable thing we lack now is food. During the war, food is hard currency. Didn't our talents rely on food and arms in exchange for it?" "What do you mean?" Meng Fanliao roughly guessed what he was talking about and asked uncertainly. "The rice in Siam is a good thing. The navy can transport the rice to Haiphong Port or even some ports in Nanning, and then use the rice to replace people." Cun Yunsheng regained his previous calmness. Expression, face full of smile.

"After the victory at Taierzhuang, the Guangxi Clan retreated into the Dabie Mountains and has been active in the Hubei, Henan, and Anhui regions for a long time." "Wait, you mean to let them pull people?" Meng Fangli's pupils shrank suddenly. "Yes, I didn't understand it before, but now I have. Look at the map." "Pinghan Railway, Guangdong-Han Railway, Hunan-Guangxi Railway, these are all one line, what does it mean?" Cun Yunsheng pointed at the map and said meaningfully. "It means that the food can be transported from us to Nanning through the railway, and then all the way north to Henan Province, where the food can be dropped off and the hungry people can be brought to the Annan area." "As long as we recruit a few million people, we will have a basic base." After Cun Yunsheng finished speaking, he took a deep breath. After listening to Cun Yunsheng's words, Meng Fangli looked at him in disbelief. "Empty the cage and change the bird?" "That's right, it's just a matter of vacating the cage and changing the bird. Didn't Stilwell and General Wavell say that there are not enough troops? What you said is right, that is, there is indeed no shortage of people here." "Isn't it simple for everyone? There are so many young natives, recruit millions and send them over. As for the weapons and equipment, leave it to Stilwell to save his headache. He can't refuse the enthusiasm from his allies?" Cun Yunsheng laughed. It has to be said that when it comes to damaging moves, Cun Yunsheng has them at his fingertips. "Didn't you already send 200,000 natives?" Meng Fangliao said speechlessly. Giving away 200,000 yuan is not enough? For this reason, Long Wenwen sent telegrams and complained for a long time. After finally training the natives, they were sent away. The truth made him feel distressed for a while. "That was only sent to Yangon. Siam, Khmer, and Annan have not been sent yet. After all, they are all allies of the United States. As an ally, it is natural to solve problems for the US military at any time." "Three families put together one million to give it away, isn't it too much?" Cun Yunsheng said, almost laughing himself. He could imagine that once Stilwell found out, he would definitely fly into a rage and curse at him. After all, the weapons supply for one million troops is enough to make his head big. Especially now that the canal is blocked, it will be very troublesome to transport supplies. "It has to be you in the group." Meng Fanglia couldn't help but praise. "Then why should we move to Hanoi?" Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng looked at the other party speechlessly. "Forgot our current designation? Allied Task Force, what I originally discussed with Stilwell was to capture Annan and use it as a springboard to attack Luzon Island and threaten the Japanese supply line going south. Now it seems that it is just right. It’s ready to be implemented.” "What about Borneo?" Meng Fanxia hesitated and asked. After hearing this, Cun Yunsheng thought for a while and then said. "Duan Zhenguo performed well in the Khmer war. He was transferred to Bangkok and put in charge of the war in Borneo. Our next task is to deepen our ties with the Guangxi clique." "Yes." Meng Fanglia responded quickly.

Moving is not that easy. Many things have to be moved in advance. Fortunately, these things are left to Meng Fan. Cun Yunsheng summoned Duan Zhenguo alone. "Sir." As soon as they met, Duan Zhenguo stood at attention and saluted. Cun Yunsheng waved his hands and said with a smile. "Brother Duan, after all, we are related." The Cun family has been stationed in Tengchong for hundreds of years, so all the famous families in Dian Province naturally know about it. If the Duan family really goes back, it can be related to the Duan family in Dali. After all, these days, no famous ancestors and no descendants can live to this day. "Sir, when you work, you still focus on your job." Duan Zhenguo set his attitude straight. This made Cun Yunsheng very satisfied, but there was still a hint of dissatisfaction on his face. "It's not work now, it's family time." "Don't be so nervous. In the Khmer War, your new regiment performed very well and achieved great results. Some people who originally criticized you have also shut up." Duan Zhenguo knew who Cun Yunsheng was referring to. They were just some old men from the Sichuan Army Corps. He felt that he had become the regiment leader just after he arrived, so he was naturally dissatisfied. "So next, there is a more important task for you, and that is Bangkok." After hearing what Cun Yunsheng said, Duan Zhenguo was stunned. Leave Bangkok to him? Does this weigh too much? "Sir..." Duan Zhenguo wanted to say something else, but Cun Yunsheng held him down. "The Sichuan Army Corps is directly under the Allied Forces Command. According to General Stilwell's order, the Sichuan Army Corps will next prepare for the island landing operation, so I will lead the main force to Hanoi to strengthen the troops' island landing operations training there." ah? Are you going to go to the island to fight? Land on that island? Although Duan Zhenguo's status is not low, he doesn't know some core secrets at all. However, he also knew that it was already rare for him to gain such a high status since he had just arrived. "Luzon Island." Cun Yunsheng was not prepared to hide anything from the other party. Since he decided to hand over such an important place in Borneo to him, he naturally had to say what he needed to say. "Huh?" Duan Zhenguo was immediately dumbfounded. But he soon came to his senses. "Cut off the supplies of the Japanese army heading south?"

"Yes." Cun Yunsheng glanced at Duan Zhenguo unexpectedly, but he didn't expect to react so quickly. Most people will just look confused when they hear it. But Duan Zhenguo reacted immediately, which shows that his strategic vision is not weak, which is very rare. "Is it too difficult?" Duan Zhenguo hesitated and said. After all, island landing operations are completely different from land operations. The navy and air force are needed to provide support. But what the Sichuan Army lacks now is the navy and air force. As for the power of the Air Force, Duan Zhenguo automatically ignored it. Dozens of fighter jets, which seemed like a lot, only bullied the natives. If you really encounter the main force of the Japanese army, it will not be enough to watch. navy? Could it be that the Allies are going to dispatch their navy? It shouldn’t be! If the Allied navy could reach Southeast Asia, would there be any need for them to land on the island to fight? The only explanation is that the Sichuan Army used the Siamese Navy? He had heard about some of Cun Yunsheng's naughty tricks. The navy parked in Bangkok nominally belonged to Siam, but in fact the officers inside were all members of the Sichuan Army. Just that little navy, landing on Luzon Island? If we encounter the Japanese main fleet, it will be troublesome. For a moment, Duan Zhenguo's eyes flashed with worry. "There are definitely some difficulties, but recently the Japanese army is preparing for a decisive battle with the US military on Guadalcanal, so they have no time to worry about anything else. This is the best opportunity. As long as Luzon Island is occupied, from then on, the offensive and defensive will be different." Cun Yun Sheng chuckled. "What's more, fighting is somewhat risky." "How can there be so many smooth sailings waiting for us?" "What you have to do is to hold Bangkok and wait for the opportunity to send troops to capture Borneo. Remember, don't do it in the name of the Sichuan Army. That is the territory of the British army. The British are already very dissatisfied with us." Hearing this, Duan Zhenguo was stunned for a moment, and then said with sudden realization. "In the name of Siam?" "Yes, the troops recruited by Siam are being trained by the Japanese Fourth Division. When the training is completed, their combat effectiveness should not be very bad. In addition, the Malaysian guerrillas have also been contacted. Everything is ready. I owe you Dongfeng." Cun Yunsheng said calmly. Everyone is welcome to continue to leave comments so that I can copy the plot, because thinking about the plot is too painful, woohoo!
