The scene in front of him was unimaginable by Degu. He was so angry that he turned livid and yelled at Angbos: "Angbos, what are you doing? How could you do this? Every soldier is the pride of the country. How can you let him?" They were insulted and punished corporally by the Chinese at will. This, this is not corporal punishment, this is violence, violence, you understand."
When the Cadet Army Training Corps first began to train the French army, Ambois and others could not accept this method. They believed that their soldiers could not adapt to this barbaric training method. If they were not corrected, there might even be a possibility of mutiny. , Angpos and the others were worried. The French army of these three divisions was the last force they could rely on. They were worried that if these soldiers mutinied, they would completely lose their right to speak. At that time, they really regretted it and felt that school was over. When the army comes in, it is an act of driving away the wolf from the front and luring the tiger from behind. It is really not worth the loss.
Of the three generals, only Sagemon insisted on taking a look before talking. His reason was that as long as the Chinese could really help them train a strong army and give them hope of restoring their country, then no matter how big the sacrifice, it would be worth it.
Ang Bos firmly disagreed with this view. He approached Xiang Shaoyun and asked for a change in training methods. He also raised questions, saying that he had visited the training of the 1st Mountain Division and there was no abuse or corporal punishment of soldiers. He threatened Xiang Shaoyun and said, If they don't correct this training method, he will complain to Commander-in-Chief Ouyang Yun and ask for a replacement of the training team.
Xiang Shaoyun answered him at the time: General, you are right. Our student army has indeed stopped using this relatively backward training method for a long time, but there is a reason. Our soldiers are self-conscious. The commander ordered to run away. For a five-kilometer cross-country trip with heavy loads, the soldiers will rush out after the order is given. The performance of the soldiers of the precious army is that they will also execute it, but the speed is different from that of a turtle crawling. Moreover, you can go to the finish line and see. It is a miracle that a hundred soldiers from a regiment can be fully equipped in the end. General, have you ever thought about what would happen if they were ordered to perform a sniper mission? Whether they can arrive at the sniper site in time is another matter. , I’m afraid that even if they arrive, they won’t be able to snipe the enemy troops at all. The guns are gone. Do you expect them to fight the enemy hand-to-hand? I’m not looking down on your army. I’m afraid such soldiers haven’t been born yet.
After listening to Xiang Shaoyun's answer, Angbos blushed with shame. From then on, he no longer cared about how they trained his subordinates. As time went by, after personally experiencing the changes in the army, he accepted this from the bottom of his heart. This is a way of teaching, and comforts oneself: Maybe, the Chinese really want to help us,
Choosing to receive Degu and the British here was Huang Haifu's idea imposed on him by Ouyang Yun's will. Moreover, in order to achieve a shock effect, the trained regiment had only received this kind of special training for three days. He did not expect that Degu Seeing the reaction to this scene, he had already prepared an answer. At this moment, seeing that Degu was really furious and furious, he said unhurriedly: "General, you should know why I did all this. For the great cause of restoring the country, I am willing to make every attempt. There is an old Chinese saying that jade cannot be cut into a weapon, and wood cannot be chopped into wood. General, it is not that we French cannot fight, they are just used to being pampered. Just wait and see, this is the regiment. If you come back a month later, it will definitely be a different scene."
How could Degu know what was going on here? He became even more angry when he heard this. He pointed at Angpos’s nose and cursed: “Ambos, General Wavell said that you were brainwashed by the Chinese. I didn’t believe it at the time, but now, I Believe me, have you forgotten the history of the Indochina Federation? It was our ancestors who snatched it from the Chinese. Even if the Chinese are not our enemies, they are definitely not our friends." Speaking of excitement, He pointed at the French soldiers who were being scolded and kicked by the instructors of Langya and the Unity Brigade, and shouted: "You are also a father. If your son suffered such inhuman treatment here, what would you think, Ang Bos?" , has your conscience been eaten by dogs?"
At this time, Degu was only a major general, but Ambos had been promoted to lieutenant general. Originally, because this lieutenant general had a lot of qualifications (he was promoted by himself, and now he is the biggest in the French Army of the Indochina Federation), and Degu had the highest rank in the French Army. He also has the boss of a fleet, so Ang Bosi seems very humble. If De Gu just vents casually, Ang Bosi considers the overall situation and may tolerate it. However, De Gu does not know what is good and what is good. Not only because of his He was humble and restrained, but intensified. Even the clay figure Ang Bosi couldn't help but get angry. He interrupted Degu with a wave of his hand and asked: "Degu, are you the president now?"
Degu was startled, then quickly understood and retorted: "Angbos, are you mocking me? Your so-called governor still has the title of lieutenant general, so he seems to be self-proclaimed." After a pause, he said in a more serious tone: "I What's wrong with you? Isn't what I said the truth? Look, look, look at what our soldiers have become."
Ang Boshi said with a smile: "No matter what they become, they are still my subordinates."
"Your subordinates, they are the French army first. I will never allow you to ruin them like this. Ambos, look at what this is." Degu said, taking out a document from his pocket and handing it to him. ,
This is a letter of appointment, which states that Tegu is appointed as the federal governor of Indochina. The stamp is the French colonial coalition government.
Angpos glanced at it and laughed loudly. He handed it to Ivan and Sachmon and said, "Look at the French colonial coalition government. Vichy was supported by the Germans. Who authorized the establishment of this government?" Turning to Degu, his eyes were shining brightly, and he asked: "Is it you Degu? How virtuous and capable are you? You actually dare to call yourself the government."
This so-called "French colonial coalition government" was instigated by Wavell at his suggestion to De Gou and George Robert, the governor-general of French West Indies. Wavell believed that this would form a constraint on the Indochina Federation and facilitate De Gou's persuasion. Persia and others, pulled them back from "the edge of the cliff",
It is worth mentioning that after the French mainland surrendered to Germany and the Vichy government was established, France's numerous overseas colonies acted independently and gave full play to their "spirit of freedom". They either accepted the leadership of the Vichy government and indirectly surrendered to Germany, or accepted the leadership of Free France and neighboring countries. The British colonial governments formed an alliance, and some even expressed their neutrality clearly. Anyway, each had its own opinions, and it was Robert, the governor of the French West Indies, who actually accepted Vichy before the arrival of Degou led the Far East Fleet. The government's decree, but secretly flirting with Wavell, pretending to be in the moral camp and with a British heart,
Wavell's proposal to establish a so-called "French Colonial Union Government" just hit the spot of De Gou, but now that it was exposed by Ambrose in person, it immediately became a sore spot for him.
Degu's expression suddenly changed, he pointed at him and cursed: "Ambos, it seems that you are really hopeless. If that's the case, then you can't blame me." After saying that, he stepped back and said,
