Meng Da did not expect that the M people would choose to attack Japan in winter. What surprised him even more was that Ho Chi Minh would come to Port X in person, accompanied by Li Kenong, to negotiate with Meng Da about the purchase of weapons and equipment. He brought the two respected
He let the guest into the living room, sat down and said straight to the point: "Mr. Ho Chi Minh, please state your request directly."
"I want thirty divisions of weapons and equipment, four divisions of artillery and 300 anti-aircraft machine guns."
Meng Da was stunned and asked in surprise: "Our individual air defense weapons are the best, don't you know?"
"Our country is very poor." Ho Chi Minh said sheepishly.
"There is no foreign exchange, right? You can exchange it for supplies, and you will pay it back gradually over the next thirty years. I think you should understand that if a country wants to be independent and free, it must have a strong military. There is no air force or tanks.
Troops, even if you win this war, it will take more than ten years and a lot of resources."
Ho Chi Minh asked excitedly: "Are you really willing to help us?"
"Yes, the Kuomintang is incapable of leaving you alone, but I can't. The weapons of the thirty divisions are enough for you to use. You must take the opportunity to train the air force and tank troops so that you can be invincible. You should be equipped with some anti-aircraft machine guns.
But without powerful air defense weapons, it would not be able to withstand the indiscriminate bombings of the British and French air forces."
Meng Da analyzed rationally, and he believed that Ho Chi Minh would understand everything. Li Kenong sighed: "Your weapons are very good, but you can't do it without culture."
"Individual weapons do not require much cultural knowledge. Of course, can't a country select tens of thousands of high-quality talents? You can consider sending them to me to learn aircraft driving and tank combat. I will use the weapons according to the situation.
Send it over."
Ho Chi Minh said with tears in his eyes: "The Chinese are all our friends. OK, I can consider signing a contract for one division of air force and two divisions of tanks."
Meng Da smiled cheerfully and said: "If you don't want to bring the flames of war to your own country, I can let Gao Hao's troops fight for you. However, all ammunition consumption must be paid, and even if it is a loan, it must be repaid in the future.
Qing. If you want to unify the entire Yinnan, I will let them do it!"
"Really?" Ho Chi Minh raised his face in surprise.
"Of course it's true! An army like Country F is very invincible. Doesn't it have 100,000 people? They can be driven across the ocean in less than a month!" Meng Da replied with certainty.
"I agree with your decision." Ho Chi Minh replied impatiently.
"Okay, Papilio."
"arrive!"
"Telegraph Gao Hao to re-equip the weapons of the troops, put on the uniforms of the Y South Army, and wipe out the F people!"
"yes!"
Ho Chi Minh said awkwardly: "We don't have official military uniforms yet."
"Oh? This is easy to do. You can design it yourself, and I will let the clothing industry in Hong Kong process it for you as quickly as possible. Now you can change it into a camouflage combat uniform, without the cap badge and collar badge." Meng Da said this
Then I remembered that Yin Nan didn’t have his own army yet. He thought about it and said with a smile, “I have a more wonderful plan.”
"Speaking."
"Give Cam Ranh Bay to my troops and navy, and we will defend the southerners from foreign enemies."
Ho Chi Minh stood up with a glowing face, grabbed Meng Da's hands tightly and said, "Okay, this is the simplest, most direct, and most effective way!"
"If we want to occupy it for a long time, we will consider the construction issue. If it is a short-term occupation, you will have to bear the cost of construction. In short, we will not wait to leave. Once the contract is signed, I will quickly send the navy to attack from the south to combat aggression.
French army!"
The harbor is 17 kilometers inland and consists of two peninsulas embracing each other to form two gourd-shaped inner and outer bays. The inner harbor, Jinlan, covers an area of 60 square kilometers and has a water depth of 1-15 meters. The bay mouth is only 1,300 meters wide. The outer harbor is flat and has a water depth of 10-10 meters.
22 meters, the mouth of the bay is about 4000 meters wide, and the water depth outside the mouth is more than 30 meters. The water depth can berth aircraft carriers. It is considered one of the best deep-water ports in the world. It is also located on an important waterway connecting the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and is of extremely important strategic importance.
value.
Meng Da remembered what had happened in history and decided to take control of Cam Ranh Bay before the S-Union intervened. Of course Hu Zming would not push such a powerful ally out, and shouted excitedly:
"I can give it to you!"
Meng Da shook his head and said frankly: "You can't give it to me. It's unfair to you. Let's do this. I'll give you all the weapons and equipment you want for free and sell Cam Ranh Bay to me."
"Ah!" Hu Zming was stunned, and Li Kenong was also horrified. Meng Da was really a madman, and he had to pay so much price even if he didn't get it for free.
"We are fair trade and true friends. As long as the contract is signed, I will immediately fly all the equipment to you!"
"I promise!"
Meng Da said to his mentors Zhu Jiahua and Fang Zhenshan: "You and Mr. Hu Zhengming will write the detailed contract. I want to have a long discussion with Mr. Li Kenong."
"Okay, Mr. Hu Zming, let's go upstairs to negotiate." Fang Zhenshan and Zhu Jiahua exchanged looks and left the living room with Hu Zming.
"What are you trying to do?" Li Kenong asked in confusion.
"Cam Ranh Bay is located on the important waterway connecting the Pacific and Indian Oceans. By guarding it, we can guard our resources and territory in the South China Sea. We can also obtain supplies from overseas in the future when we encounter wars. You may already know that the oil we mine in the South China Sea
It is very close to Yinnan, and I am worried that there is no naval base or a good place to garrison troops."
Li Kenong said movedly: "You are so considerate in every step you take. You have sacrificed too much for the country!"
"Give them the old artillery fire in your hands, and I will replace it with new ones. This will make it easier for you to replenish ammunition in the future." Meng Da finally said what he wanted to say.
"Including infantry weapons?" Li Kenong asked with a smile.
"Hahahaha, you are so greedy. Okay, send a telegram as soon as possible and ask them to quickly gather their weapons and wait for my news." Meng Da couldn't help shaking his head, but he replied readily.
"Hey, I didn't expect that I would gain so much this time!"
"Forty divisions are replaced by three divisions' new equipment. Remember, the artillery fire must be sufficient!" Meng Da thought for a while and said.
"agree!"
Zhu Jiahua quickly wrote down the detailed terms of the sale of Cam Ranh Bay with Hu Zhengming. When the three people came down from the stairs, Meng Da was talking to Li Kenong about the US military's attack on Japan. Seeing them coming down, he hurriedly left
The master took the contract sample in his hand. Hu Zming said worriedly: "Country F has a huge navy stationed in Cam Ranh Bay."
"Hahahaha, it only takes one day to eliminate them!"
"Ah!" Li Kenong and Hu Zming both exclaimed. Is Meng Da too arrogant?
"Don't believe it? Mr. Hu Zhengming, if you use force you will lose, but without cutting-edge high-tech weapons, fanatical development of armed forces will be a waste of national power. I can defend Yinnan for you. I hope you will cherish the opportunity to develop industry, commerce and agriculture."
Ho Chi Minh asked gratefully: "Please give me some advice, Mr. Governor."
"Southern Y does not need too many troops, as long as there are enough police to ensure public security. If a war breaks out, I will not hesitate to kill the invaders for you! It is impossible for you to use new weapons in a short time.
, Therefore, I discussed with Mr. Li Kenong and transferred forty divisions of Japanese military equipment from them to ensure that your 500,000-strong army has weapons."
"This is better!"
"I have no objection to the contract sample. If Mr. Hu Zhengming has no objection, we can sign it now."
"Okay!" Hu Zming took the pen from Meng Da and quickly wrote his name on it. Meng Da took it and wrote his name and asked Wang Yun'er to put away one contract and pick up the other.
Give one copy to Hu Zming.
"Liu Tai!"
"arrive!"
"Lead your troops, board merchant ships and start marching towards Saigon!"
"yes!"
"Wang Yong!"
"arrive!"
"Take the special operations group on our troop carrier, bring a battalion of self-propelled artillery, and accompany me on the expedition!"
"Commander, do you need to go to such a small battle in person?" Wang Yong said unhappily.
"Hahahaha, you are crazier than me! Remember, this time I will publicly display the most powerful weapon to let Mr. Hu Zming know that only we can help them defend Yinnan!"
"Oh? That thing is going to be revealed?" Wang Yong asked excitedly.
"Yes, we'll leave in two hours!"
"yes!"
Looking at the mighty militia in Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh's last worry disappeared. But he was more curious about Meng Da's mysterious weapon, and asked Li Kenong beside him in a low voice. The capable red agent smiled bitterly: "Don't talk about me, even if m
Even the country’s agents and Japan’s intelligence team don’t know this news!”
"So mysterious?"
"It takes one day to destroy the French army in Cam Ranh Bay, I'm afraid it won't take them an hour!"
"ah!"
They were on a latest model destroyer. Li Kenong pointed to the place on the deck and said, "Did you see that? There is only one squad of soldiers busy. This weapon is going to be fired from that cylinder."
"Hahahaha, you are right. Let me tell you, this is a medium-range surface-to-surface missile!"
"Only one shell?" Ho Chi Minh was shocked. This is simply a legendary myth.
"Yes, and it will be launched now!"
Li Kenong asked in surprise: "How many miles is it from Cam Ranh Bay to here?"
"About a thousand kilometers."
"With this distance, can your artillery shells hit the target?"
"The shortest range of my medium-range missiles is 1,300 kilometers, and the longest range is 3,500 kilometers."
"ah!"
"emission!"
"yes!"
"boom--"
When everyone was surprised, they saw a huge fire dragon rising into the sky, and quickly headed west after taking off. Just a few minutes later, they saw a huge mushroom cloud rising in the sky far away. They were surprised.
Is this the end of Cam Ranh Bay?
The warships and troop carriers moved forward at full speed at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. After a night, they arrived at their destination around eight o'clock in the morning the next day. Wang Yong led the special operations group and the Flying Tigers to fight in and quickly talked on foot.
The machine called out: "Report to the commander, all equipment is intact and all personnel are dead!"
"Clean up the bodies and prepare to fight!"
"yes!"
Meng Da took Hu Zming and Li Kenong to the inner port of Jinlan. They saw that they were surrounded by mountains about 400 meters high. The two peninsulas of Chongkong Mountain and Fenghuang Mountain formed two gourd-shaped inner and outer bays. He remained calm.
After a patrol, he quickly said to the naval commander Liu Dingbang who came over: "Four warships, an air force, and twelve speedboats are stationed here. Let the fishing team come over with two fishing boats to ensure the navy's seafood supply!"
"Yes!" Liu Dingbang said in surprise: "How do you deal with these rags from country F?"
"Transformed into a transport ship for normal material supply and commercial general cargo ship use."
