Chapter One Hundred and Twelfth Thief Heart Never Dies
The letter is really the work of Jean Dego. The French have been operating in Vietnam for many years and have a deep foundation. Although Amposse relied on the cadet army to secure the position of governor, he did not gain the allegiance of the French plantation owner interest groups. France’s underground forces in Vietnam , is still in the hands of Roland and Rang Duc Gou. It is precisely because of this power that they can't get on the stage. Not only do they escape the pursuit of French patrols, but they are also able to continue to be active in Hanoi, and can even infiltrate heavily guarded areas. In the central area of the Governor's Palace, deliver this letter to Degu,
Jean De Gou and Duc Gou had a good personal relationship. This was the reason why he dared to contact him despite the turbulent environment in Hanoi. Jean De Gou hoped to meet with Duc Gou to discuss the way out for the French colonies in the Far East. In his letter Mentioned that in view of the fact that the war in Indochina is actually a three-way wrestling between China, Japan and Britain, and judging from the current situation, the Japanese army has the upper hand. Therefore, in order to protect France's interests in the Far East, the most correct choice is to fight with Japan people cooperate,
From the ground to the underground, the French's intelligence gathering ability was greatly reduced. The return of the Far East Fleet gave Jean Degou hope of regaining control of the Indochina Federation. Based on his understanding of Degou, he believed that he would definitely not He would be willing to live under Ang Bos, thinking that when the Chinese took full control of the situation in Hanoi, he might not consider cooperating with the Japanese army. However, he did not expect that because there were British people around him, even though Duc Gu agreed with him in his heart Suggestions, but no practical actions.
After reading Rang Degu's letter, he felt that Clary was staring at him with piercing eyes. Degu thought quickly and handed the letter to him and said: "You also read it, Rang Degu wants to meet me."
Clary was not polite. He took it, looked at it, and said to him: "It seems that Jean Degou and Roland are pro-Japanese. General, it's interesting. There are actually three forces in the current Indochina Federation."
"I will not cooperate with the Japanese. The Chinese are certainly not good people, but the Japanese are definitely worse than them. I heard that the captured officers and soldiers of your army were not treated fairly in the prisoner-of-war camp." Degu said. He quickly stated his point of view, and finally gave Clary a little stimulation.
The appearance of Jean Deku was beyond Craly's expectation. The British originally thought that they had all been secretly executed by the cadet army or Ang Bos, but their appearance undoubtedly made the situation in Hanoi more complicated. Craly He frowned slightly and was thinking about what would be most beneficial to his side. Outside the window, the messenger couldn't hold on anymore. He whispered: "General Degu, Minister Degu hopes that you can reply to him. Please hurry up. I My legs are already numb from squatting."
Degu glanced at Clary and said: "I decided to meet with Degu. There are some things that I can't just listen to Angpos and his friends." After that, he sat down, found a pen and paper, and began to write a reply. ,
Clary also felt that he should meet with Jean Degou, "Maybe I can try to persuade him." He thought this way, without saying anything else.
In the next few days, Degu and his party, accompanied by Ambos, visited the French army and mercenary camps. One brigade of the three army divisions under Ambos had already been equipped with the standard equipment of the cadet army. Looking from a distance, It's one thing, but it's another thing to observe it at close range. When they passed by the 1st Mountain Division, Degu, Krali and the "Gomande" captain were also surprised by the weapons and equipment of the Xuebing Army. Advanced, but when they can enter the interior of the Jiguang type tank and personally operate the Wei Qing type and Qubing type firearms, the feeling is completely different.
The British's main opponent now is actually the Germans, and what the Germans fear the most is their tank troops. For this reason, Craley subconsciously set up a scale in his heart and divided the German Panzer IV tanks and the relay type tanks.
I put the Lu Kai to one side for comparison, and then I was surprised to find that the performance parameters of the Jiguang Lu Kai were more than one level higher than the German Panzer IV tank.
Craley was most concerned about strategic weapons such as tanks, while Captain "Gomande" paid more attention to light weapons. It happened that a company of French troops were practicing live-fire target shooting under the supervision of the training group, so he shamelessly proposed to Ambos
As for the test firing request, the latter generously asked his subordinates to give him a Weiqing assault rifle and a magazine. The former spent five minutes to figure out the performance of the Weiqing assault rifle, and then played burst fire, short burst fire, and continuous fire respectively.
Once, I couldn't put down the gun in my hand and almost refused to return it.
Out of politeness, Xiang Shaoyun accompanied Degu and his party on the tour. Captain Gomande walked up to Xiang Shaoyun holding the Wei Qing assault rifle and asked modestly: "Major, how much does this kind of gun cost?"
.”
Before Xiang Shaoyun could answer, Yi Wen beside him said, "Why, you're interested in our guns."
"Yes, General, may I venture to make a request? Can you give me this gun?"
Ivan looked at Ang Bos, who nodded calmly, then he waved his hand generously and said: "Of course, this gun will be yours."
Because of this episode, "Gomande"'s hostility towards the training group was reduced a lot, and Degu and Crali also treated Xiang Shaoyun with courtesy.
After Xiang Shaoyun felt this change, he remained calm on his face and was secretly amused in his heart. He said in his heart: "The tanks we sold to the French are still the original models. If we sell them the current main tanks, what will happen to these foreign devils?"
It’s not about pretending to be a grandson.”
After the three French military divisions came the so-called mercenaries,
After all, the French are the temporary masters of the Indochina Federation and have been operating it for so many years. Once they want to recruit local people as soldiers, it is much more convenient than the Xuebing Army. The "National Independence Liberation Army" under the Xuebing Army is only two in size.
About a division, the French "mercenaries" already have five divisions. These mercenaries are mainly composed of plantation owners' escorts and local police. After months of training, they have now begun to take shape as an army, and they
The weapons and equipment will be eliminated after the French changed their equipment.
Ang Bos, Ivan and Sagemon are now quite superstitious about Ouyang Yun. Except for the mercenary instructors who are French, other training methods and soldier pay systems were all formulated with the help of the training group.
When Degu and Clary first heard that the mercenaries they were going to visit next were mercenaries composed entirely of locals, they were quite disapproving. Out of their extreme understanding and distrust of the locals, Degu did not say anything, but thought in his heart
This is simply nonsense. Although Crary thinks this is a good way to raise cannon fodder, but thinking of the performance of the Indian army in the Singapore battle, he shook his head and thought: Although cannon fodder is necessary, if it goes to the battlefield and collapses at the first touch, it will not be good for the main force.
The blow to morale is too big, it would be better not to have anything at all.
Before witnessing it with their own eyes, neither of them was optimistic about mercenaries. But when they came out of the mercenary barracks, their minds completely changed. Degu began to care about another issue. He asked Ang Bos: "What are the conditions on those walls?
Will it be honored?"
Angpos nodded,
Degu blinked: "Then the Indochina Federation will go bankrupt."
Angpos replied: "As long as the country can be restored, bankruptcy does not matter."
Degu exclaimed: "Ampos, you are crazy."
Ang Bos shook his head and said: "No, I'm not crazy, I just found the meaning of living again."
The so-called "conditions on the wall" in Degou's mouth refer to the conditions offered to mercenaries by Ampos. Foreign mercenaries who join the French Restoration Army do not have fixed military pay. Their remuneration is all linked to the war. If they perform a mission, There is a reward for killing an enemy, especially for killing an enemy and winning a big battle. The reward is quite generous, so much so that the mercenaries secretly calculated that as long as they can go to the European battlefield, killing five German soldiers will be enough for them to enjoy their lives.
Angpos did not say anything. The Indochina Federation originally belonged to the local people. He used the land and property that belonged to the local people to pay the local people. In fact, he was doing a business without capital. If he could really defeat the Germans and regain the country, If so, he believed that the new French government would never care if he mortgaged the Indochina Federation.
