Just as the Chinese Expeditionary Force was gathering in Pu'er, Yunnan and Chongzuo, Guangxi, the situation in Southeast Asia had undergone new changes. After resting for about ten days, the Japanese Western Expedition Fleet launched a new offensive on Kalimantan Island.
Following the Dutch colonial army, the British colonial army was also vulnerable. It only resisted for less than five days before being driven out of the sea. Immediately, the Japanese navy and the British Indian Ocean Fleet launched a series of naval battles around Singapore. It was disappointing.
However, the British Royal Navy, known as the most powerful in the world at that time, had little power to fight back against the Japanese expeditionary fleet. After losing a light aircraft carrier, an old battleship and several gunboats, it fled the waters of Singapore in panic.
, surrendered control of the entrance to the Singapore section of the Strait of Malacca, and retreated into the Andaman Sea,
The British Royal Army and Navy were defeated in consecutive battles against Japan. The British government was completely panicked. Because Britain had just experienced the Dunkirk evacuation, the morale of the people was hit hard. Therefore, the British government simply could not afford to go to war with Japan and Germany at the same time.
pressure. On the one hand, British Prime Minister Churchill personally wrote to U.S. President Roosevelt, hoping that the U.S. government would come forward to prevent the Japanese army from continuing to carry out crazy military operations in the Indian Ocean; on the other hand, he put pressure on the Chinese government through the U.S. government, hoping that the Chinese Expeditionary Force could enter as soon as possible.
front-line battlefield to help the British army contain the Japanese army's crazy offensive,
The U.S. government also realized that once Japan defeated the British army in Southeast Asia, it would inevitably use troops against the Philippines, so Roosevelt personally drafted a telegram sent to the Chongqing government and the Xuebing Army. In the telegram sent to the Chongqing government, he hoped that China would
Implement the "Sino-British-French Military Alliance Agreement" as soon as possible, and mention that if the Malacca Strait falls into the hands of the Japanese army, the sea routes between the United States and China will be completely cut off, and the United States will not be able to continue to fulfill the agreement to provide military assistance to China
, and in the message sent to Xuebingjun, he mentioned that in view of Japan's increasingly rampant military operations in Southeast Asia, which has seriously affected the interests of the United States, domestic calls for war against Japan are getting louder and louder, and once Congress
If the relevant war preparation regulations are passed, the government will inevitably be required to purchase military equipment built by other countries in the United States. Then the rights of the three aircraft carriers and accompanying warships built by your army in the United States will not be protected...
On October 21, Ouyang Yun received a call from the U.S. government forwarded from Guangzhou. He just glanced at the message and knew that he could no longer drag on in Chongzuo.
The Cadet Expeditionary Force stayed in Chongzuo and delayed entering Vietnam. At first, Ouyang Yun did intend to take the opportunity to blackmail the French Indochina federal government, but the funny thing was that just as he had accepted the offer from the French
Due to a series of conditions, when they were preparing to enter Vietnam, the French actually sent troops to the Vietnamese border to refuse their aid.
The reason for this situation is related to the Japanese government's public relations campaign against the top leaders of the French Indochina Federation. Japan's Minister in Cochin (the name of Vietnam before its independence, henceforth referred to as Vietnam), Kobayashi Yotao, secretly met with the Governor of the French Indochina Federation.
Raffarin stated that Japan's dispatch of the Western Expedition Fleet to fight in the Indian Ocean was a last resort measure sanctioned by the U.S. government. The purpose was to obtain strategic resources such as oil and rubber. He said that the Japanese army ultimately targeted the British colonial government, not France, and hoped that the legal
The Federation of Indochina should not be fooled by the British and be used as a gunman. In order to appease the French, Kobayashi Yotao even signed an agreement with Andre, saying that even if the Japanese army entered French Indochina in the future,
It would not threaten his rule, and at most he only asked for the right to garrison troops. Finally, he reminded Governor Raffarin from the standpoint of a friend and asked him to wake up the Chinese, saying that as the original suzerainty of Cochin, some people and forces in the country had
They have never given up the idea of regaining Jiaozhi, and among these people, the nationalist Ouyang Yun should be noted.
The French military presence in French Indochina totals only three divisions. As the supreme commander of its armed forces, Governor Raffarin knows the strength of his troops and knows that they can suppress the locals, but they are definitely not the Royal Japanese Army.
The opponent, and considering that Kobayashi's last reminder is very reasonable, allowing the Chinese to enter Cochin will have the hidden worry of driving away the wolf through the front door and letting the tiger in through the back door, so even though he knew that Kobayashi Yotao might be deceiving him, he "happily" accepted the Japanese
People's goodwill decided to remain neutral and not get involved in the Indian Ocean dispute between the British and the Japanese.
The French went back on their word, not to mention how the British reacted. Ouyang Yun was very angry anyway.
Although the French are not strong enough in combat, the Sino-Vietnamese border terrain is dangerous. If the Cadet Expeditionary Force enters by force, the losses will definitely be huge. In addition, this will also be detrimental to the Cadet Army's development of local resistance forces, and the allies will become invaders.
I'm afraid it will be very difficult to establish an anti-Japanese front locally.
The Americans are pressing hard, but only one of the Xuebing Army's three aircraft carriers (the one converted from a cruise ship has been launched and is undergoing sea trials; the two built with funds from the Zionist Organization will not be launched until the end of the year)
, Ouyang Yun naturally did not want the Americans to have an excuse to forcefully purchase those two ships. He first asked Ji Xingwen to call back the U.S. government to stabilize the Americans, and then began to think about the idea of dismantling the French Indochina Federal Governor's Palace.
Ouyang Yun's daring to have this idea was not based on imagination. The "Sino-British-French Military Alliance Agreement" had just been reached, and Mu Jiandie sent the Fox Tong team into Vietnam. According to the latest intelligence obtained by Fox Tong, the French are not a rock.
In the list mastered by Fox Eyes, there are at least three powerful figures who belong to the main war faction. Among them, Major General Ang Bos, the second-ranking figure in the Governor's Mansion who has been to Chongqing, is the toughest.
Mu Jiandie was responsible for the intelligence collection work of the French Indochina Federation. Later that day, Ouyang Yun sent a secret telegram to Chongqing to make Mu Jiandie do this. The next day, Mu Jiandie sent a secret telegram to Hanoi. Three days later, Hu
All of Hitomi's backbone members in the French Indochina Federation gathered in Hanoi and gathered in a secret stronghold found by team leader Cai Shaoming.
After everyone arrived, Cai Shaoming said straight to the point: "This time I am asking you to come here for a big event. For this event, some of us will sacrifice. Please be mentally prepared."
"Boss, let's get straight to the point. When we joined Fox Tong, we swore that we would sacrifice everything for the cause of resisting Japan. We have all been mentally prepared for it." The person in charge of Hanoi, an overseas Chinese named Feng Hai, said,
"The French went back on their word and the expeditionary force was blocked at the Sino-Vietnamese border. Everyone knows this."
"I heard." "I know." "Is what we are going to do related to this?"
"Yes, under the order of Director Mu, we are preparing to assassinate French Governor Raffarin, and we will assassinate him in public as an independent person. Do you understand the key?"
"clear."
Cai Shaoming looked at Feng Hai with a heavy face and asked: "Feng Hai, does anyone know your overseas Chinese identity?"
Feng Hai was startled, then realized something, licked his lips and said, "No one knows that our family has lived in Hanoi for more than two hundred years and has already integrated into the local people."
Cai Shaoming: "Then only you can take action."
Everyone looked at Feng Hai, and someone said: "I also have the identity of a local, let me do it."
Feng Hai glanced at his partner gratefully and said, "It's just me, boss. I only have one request for the organization."
"Please tell me."
"Please send my remains back to my hometown in Xuzhou, Jiangsu."
"No problem."
"Boss, I have a personal request for you."
"Um."
"My sister, I leave my sister to you." Feng Hai stood up and bowed to Cai Shaoming solemnly.
Cai Shaoming was stunned at first, then struggled for a while on his face, and then he said decisively: "Okay, I promise you."
Feng Hai smiled and said: "Then I don't have any mental burden, sir, when will I do it?"
"Listen to the notice. You can run to Southeast Alley more often these days. Leave other preparations to us."
"yes."
