Chapter 270 seems like a lot, but it’s not enough at all! (First update!) "Island? Which island?" Xia Wei didn't react for a while and looked at the other party blankly. Is the Sichuan Army going to attack the island? Isn't the speed of this strength development too fast? Are they all capable of landing on the island to fight? "What other island could it be? Isn't it Hainan Island?" Zhang Fakui looked at the other party as if he were an idiot. "Ah? Hainan Island?" Xia Wei was stunned. "Where did he get the navy? No, could it be that the Allies came over?" Although Xia Wei sounds very majestic, the commander-in-chief of the 16th Group Army and the new famous general of the Guangxi Clan, in fact he has very few channels for obtaining intelligence. He didn't even know that the Sichuan Army had a navy.

In fact, not many people know about this. After all, the Sichuan Army was very covert, and not many people knew that Siam's navy was controlled by people from the Sichuan Army. "Since the Sichuan Army dared to propose this, he must be confident. Although the Sichuan Army rose very quickly, he made every step very cleverly. He used the Battle of Tonggu to severely damage a Japanese brigade, and then entered the sight of the Allied Command. , directly became a direct unit, and then quickly rose with the support of the US military. "Zhang Fakui has carefully understood the history of the rise of the Sichuan Army during this period, so he can easily understand it. "Sir Zhang, there is still a question I don't understand until now, and that is why the Allied forces placed the Sichuan Army Corps under the direct command of the troops. There are obviously so many troops in the expeditionary force." Xia Wei said with a confused look. Hearing this, Zhang Fakui suddenly understood why Li and Bai wanted each other to stay in Guangxi Province, and they didn't even worry about the other party's other thoughts. Just from these words, it can be seen that this guy has no political mind at all. "It's very simple. The expeditionary force is nominally under the command of the Allied Forces Command, but in fact? It is not remotely controlled by Shancheng. Otherwise, what will be withdrawn to Imphal will not only be a newly formed 38th Division, but also the newly formed 38th Division that cannot be withdrawn. The 22nd Division is remnant," Zhang Fakui sneered. Although he looked down upon the one from Shancheng, in terms of means, he did have something. On this point, he was convinced. "So no one can command the nominal Allied Forces Headquarters. It just so happens that the Sichuan Army Corps with a mixed background appears in the opponent's sight. As long as he is not a fool, he will definitely win over him. I didn't expect that the commander of the Sichuan Army Corps would seize the opportunity. It's great that we have used the support of the US military to get to this point." Zhang Fakui's words were full of admiration. It is rare for someone at such a young age to have such a sophisticated grasp of timing. He is worthy of being a descendant of a noble family. If Cun Yun was born here, he would definitely be happy and confused. The timing was nothing more than thinking of finding a backer for the Sichuan Legion at that time. Otherwise, when they returned to Nantianmen, they would be swallowed up and even become cannon fodder. Long Wenwen's example is before us. No matter how beautifully he fights, he will always be cannon fodder without a backing or a backer. The military pay they received was huge, the military pay they received was paper money, and even the weapons were in tatters. With this idea in mind, when Stilwell offered him an olive branch, he immediately accepted it. "Hey, it's a pity. If we could embrace the Yankees and change into beautiful equipment, it would be really useful." Xia Wei couldn't help but sigh. Zhang Fakui looked at the other person deeply, not knowing whether the other person was really stupid or pretending to be stupid.

It's so clear what I said. He didn't understand? My current situation is very similar to Stilwell's at that time. Regardless of the three armies under his command, none of them are his direct troops. In other words, his direct troops were betrayed and reorganized. These are the only guards around him. "Xu Cang, do you want to become a famous general?" Zhang Fakui suddenly asked from his soul. Hearing this, Xia Wei was stunned. Isn't this question nonsense? Who doesn't want to be a famous general? "I think we can cooperate with the Sichuan Army." Zhang Fakui said while looking at the map. "Currently, the combat area of ​​our fourth theater is Guangdong and Guangxi, and Hainan Island is also our combat area. If we can regain Hainan Island, then you and I will become famous generals." Hearing this, Xia Wei was stunned, and he was right. The key issue is that without a navy, the so-called landing operations would be a joke. etc! Since Zhang Fakui said this, does it mean that the Sichuan Army has warships? Xia Wei raised his head fiercely and stared at Zhang Fakui. "Yes, it's what you think. As far as I know, the Sichuan Army does have warships." Zhang Fakui admitted directly when he saw the other party looking at him. "Where did he get the navy from a motley crew?" Xia Wei said in disbelief. You know, even the Guangxi faction does not have a navy. Among all the local miscellaneous armies, only the original Northeastern Army has its own navy. But it has already been annexed. As for the Fujian navy, it is its own navy and does not match up with the other-name armies at all. It is really incredible that a navy that does not even exist in the Gui family appears in a motley army that has only risen for less than half a year. "Have you ever seen a motley crew of armed men?" "Have you ever seen a ragtag army with dozens of fighter planes?" "Have you ever seen a motley crew of dozens of battleships?" Three consecutive questions made Xia Wei completely autistic. What he didn't expect was why Zhang Fakui knew so much?

Perhaps seeing his doubts, Zhang Fakui chuckled. "You can place people in my headquarters. I know this is weird?" Hearing this, Xia Wei showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, and then asked doubtfully. "If the Sichuan Army knew that you deliberately arranged people..." "Wait a minute, what do you mean I arranged it deliberately? Don't slander me. It's just that some of my old troops were poached by the Sichuan Army for some reason. I didn't know this until they wrote to me some time ago." Zhang Fakui felt it was necessary to clarify, otherwise If so, I can’t tell clearly. Hearing this, Xia Wei understood instantly and had no intention of continuing to ask. Because, in the entire Fourth War Zone, Zhang Fakui's disciples have too many old friends. Otherwise, he would not be able to command the other two armies. "You mean to cooperate with the Sichuan Army?" Xia Wei continued to ask. "You can try, otherwise it will be impossible for us to recover Hainan Island alone." Zhang Fakui shook his head and said. Xia Wei did not refute this statement. They could only defend passively now. It would be difficult to take the initiative to repel the Japanese army and completely regain the Guangdong and Guangxi areas. The elite of the Gui army are all in the border area of ​​Hubei, Henan and Anhui provinces. The troops remaining in Guangxi Province are all second-line troops, and their combat effectiveness has seriously declined. Even though Li Bai, the two leaders of the Gui family, tried every means to obtain a lot of beautiful equipment, the quantity was still too small. This was the reason why he took the initiative to contact the other party after learning that the Sichuan Army had captured Hanoi. "What about the other two armies?" Xia Wei looked curious. Normally, he should discuss it with the commanders of the other two armies. Who knew Zhang Fakui sneered. "Hmph, you want this credit to be taken away by them? Use it as a reward for promotion?" "Or are you also going to let them share the credit?" Naturally, Zhang Fakui would not give too much good looks to these two group armies. "Naturally, they don't want to share the profit for the credit for landing on the island, but if the rice business doesn't share the profit with them, it may be difficult to successfully complete it. Although they are backed by a mountain city and have a mountain city to pay military pay, they still can't wipe their butts. Paper notes that are too hard cannot be used in the ocean." Xia Wei still saw this very clearly. The main thing is that these motley crews may not have much other vision, but when it comes to business, their sense of smell is definitely very sensitive. "Sir Zhang, you are really a layman when it comes to doing business. If you don't bring them with you, I'm afraid this business won't be completed. After all, no one dislikes having more money." Xia Wei persuaded again. All right! About that! Zhang Fakui also felt that what the other party said made sense. It’s true that no one objects to having too much money. Thinking of this, Zhang Fakui nodded. "I will discuss it with them, but for other areas, you need to write to Li Bai. Without them, it would be difficult to open this road."

"No problem, I will personally write to the two officers Li Bai. I believe they will agree. After all, no one refuses rice, oceans, and weapons and equipment." Xia Wei also knew the ambitions of the two officers Li Bai. After the wars of the past few years, the strength of the Gui Clan has been greatly weakened. Now that there is an opportunity to strengthen the strength of the Gui Clan, it will naturally not be missed. "Okay, leave the other two to me." Zhang Fakui nodded. … "Sure enough, no one refuses the temptation of the ocean, rice, and arms." Cun Yunsheng looked at the telegram in his hand and couldn't help but chuckle. However, Meng Fangliao next to him was not so optimistic. "As a group, it shouldn't go so smoothly, right?" Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng glared at him angrily, this guy has a crow's mouth. Don’t know what to say? "Go, go, go, why are you talking, don't you hope to get better?" Cun Yunsheng wanted to kick him. "No, I mean this line is too long. It's too difficult to transport so many hungry people." Meng Fan shook his head and explained. "It is indeed quite long, but as a human being, as long as you see the hope of living, you can persist no matter how long it takes. If you are afraid that you cannot see the hope, then it is really fatal." Cun Yunsheng also feels that this road is quite long. Yes, but as long as we give those hungry people a hope, I believe they will be able to survive. "So, we need to use heavy profits to open a road. Oceans, rice, and arms. I believe the warlords along the way will not refuse these three things. They are all hard currency." "But the price is really too high. It's hard for us to accumulate this little wealth." Meng Fangliao said with some distress. "Wealth disperses and people gather, wealth gathers and people disperse." Cun Yunsheng looked at it very indifferently. Although the cost is a bit high now, he believes that a lot of troubles will be solved in the future. "Yes, it has to be you, you are so grand." Meng Fanglia couldn't help but give a thumbs up. With this kind of arrogance, his group definitely surpassed many others. Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng couldn't help laughing, and then said with a smile. "Okay, it looks like a lot, but it's actually not much. Rice here is harvested three times a year. The most indispensable thing is rice. And so many natives were thrown to Stilwell. So much extra food is enough to exchange for Millions of hungry people.” "As for weapons and equipment, the captured Japanese, British, and French equipment can be sold, and the production capacity of the military factory is constantly expanding. I believe that all our problems will be solved soon." Seeing Cun Yunsheng's confident look, Meng Fanglia also felt much more relaxed. "Next, the military factory will be handed over to Fetig. I believe he will not let us down. What we have to do is organize training operations to land on the island." Cun Yunsheng looked at the map and his tone became much more solemn. "Team leader, most of our soldiers are landlubbers. Let alone the sea, they have never even been in the river a few times." Meng Fangliao asked worriedly. "I know, that's why we need to increase the training and operations to land on the island. Don't forget, we have to land on Luzon Island." Cun Yunsheng also knows that training to land on the island is very troublesome. He not only needs to be familiar with the water properties, but also needs to strengthen cooperation with the navy. You can't let the navy's cannons hit your own people, right? "Let the navy come as soon as possible and transport a batch of rice. Let them drive close to the coastline, not to the deep sea, and be careful of Japanese warships." Cun Yunsheng reminded. He only had this few tattered battleships, and if he lost one, he would feel distressed for a long time. Therefore, every time when transporting rice and requiring naval escort, they are allowed to drive close to the coastline. "Yes." Meng Fan nodded, and then asked doubtfully.

"Which unit are you planning to send to the island for combat training?" The main force of the new regiment was stationed in Bangkok, with the purpose of monitoring the Japanese troops in Borneo. When the follow-up troops arrive, a new offensive will be launched. The original Sichuan Army had a total of ten infantry battalions, plus a tank regiment, and a Krupp heavy artillery regiment. As well as Lin Yi who stayed in Myitkyina, and three supplementary regiments. That’s right! Lin Yi from Myitkyina has not stopped during this period and has been responsible for training and replenishing the regiment. These supplementary regiments are basically composed of new recruits. There are more than 6,000 people, and there are not many weapons and equipment, but they are enough to suppress the surrounding indigenous people. In the hands of Long Wenwen in Yangon, there is only one fine art regiment of elite troops, all of which are composed of Burmese Chinese and have good combat effectiveness. This is the current full strength of the Sichuan Army. It looks like a lot, but in fact it's all scattered. There is another unstable factor, the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, the Fourth Division. There are almost 30,000 people, but they have no intention of fighting. They are only interested in training the natives and earning training fees. It is impossible to let them fight. Even if you suppress the indigenous people, you have to talk about money. The price is too low and I won't agree to it at all. So it can be ignored. It was with these considerations in mind that Meng Fan asked whether to reorganize a landing force or which force to transfer over. "Let me think about it again." Cun Yunsheng rubbed his head. It looked like he had a lot of troops, but in fact they were needed everywhere. "Leader, one more thing, we don't have officers who can land for combat." Meng Fangna asked another question that hit his soul. Cun Yunsheng's head became even bigger now. Landing operations are different from land operations and must be taught by professionals.
