This method of paying military salaries to mercenaries was naturally Ouyang Yun's idea. Of course Ouyang Yun had no good intentions. He was not afraid that the French would attack him with ulterior motives, not to mention that the Xue Bingjun's fists were now hard and big, and they could see The tempting temptation is there, and he firmly believes that the French will obediently give in after weighing the pros and cons.
"Whether the French Nationalist Army can really fight back to Europe depends on us. We Chinese have always been generous and charitable. If conditions permit and the benefits are considerable, I don't mind helping the French. Of course, when that day comes, India will The Federation of China definitely no longer exists. Where did it go? It was sold to our student army. No, no, of course I have no intention of colonizing Southeast Asia, but I think that a responsible global power has the obligation to first maintain a good The security situation in the surrounding areas, I don’t want us to help them gain independence, only to be treated like enemies. Even if we want to become enemies, we should be the first to wield our swords and guns..."
The above words are Ouyang Yun's exposition of the impact that the Xueding Army helped Ang Bosi form a restoration mercenary force on the future of the Indochina Federation and even Southeast Asia.
Analyzing the essence of his words, there is actually one central meaning: Xuebingjun has decided to conquer the French Federation of Indochina.
After Degu and Clary observed the mercenary training during the day, they met Jean Degou and Xiao Lin at the welcome reception held by local French immigrants for Degu in the evening.
Jean Degou and Xiao Lin were brave enough. Xiao Lin had hid in the wine cellar of the nightclub early, and Jean Degou disguised himself as a waiter. When he appeared in front of De Gu and Clary in the disguise of a waiter, When he came, Degu was so astonished that he almost screamed when he pointed at him,
Jean Deju winked at him and said: "Sir, please come with me." Then he turned and left the hall.
Degu and Clary looked at each other, and the latter made a gesture to Captain Gomande on the side, and then he and Degu followed Degu.
Let Degu lead them directly to the wine cellar. After entering the wine cellar, he looked at Clary and asked Degu: "Which general is this? Why don't I recognize him?"
De Juquan knew the heavyweight officer of the Far East Fleet, so he asked this question.
Degu replied: "He is Robert's bodyguard, Colonel Walefor. Jean Degu, what do you want to see me for?"
Jean Degu glanced at Clary again, and did not bother with the issue of his identity anymore. He led them inside and said, "General Degu, I will introduce you to an old friend."
Degu and Clary looked at each other and followed him inside. Soon they saw Yotafu Kobayashi standing there wearing a top hat.
Deku didn't expect that this friend turned out to be Japan's Minister to the Indochina Federation, Yotao Kobayashi, and he exclaimed: "Minister Kobayashi."
Xiao Lin smiled and replied: "Commander Degu, I'm glad to see you again." After saying that, he took off his hat and bowed slightly to him.
Clary's eyes narrowed, and he glanced at Rang Deju, thoughtfully,
Xiao Lin also noticed him and asked Rang Deju: "Who is he? Does it matter?"
Let's say: "He is Colonel Vallefort, aide-de-camp to General Robert, our Governor-General of West India. He is one of our own."
Xiaolin said "Oh", bowed slightly to Clary, and then said to Degu: "Commander Degu, I am here without your permission. Please forgive me."
Through Jean Degu's letter, Degu knew his pro-Japanese stance, but he didn't expect it to reach this level. He was a little surprised, but he didn't show it on his face. He said gracefully: "Xiaolin The minister is polite." Then, he looked at Rang Deju and asked, "Where's Roland? Why didn't he come? Aren't you together?"
"Roland is sick." Rang De said. Looking at De Gu, he tentatively asked: "General De Gu, have you met with Commander-in-Chief Ouyang Yun of the Xuebing Army?"
"No, I came to Hanoi directly from southeastern Myanmar with the help of the British. Let Degu tell you what your next plans are." Degu said and looked at Clary.
Clary frowned slightly, as if Degu had always been wary of him. He didn't fully trust Degu. He felt that Degu's special mention of the British just now was a bit abrupt. He couldn't help but worry that Degu His position may not be as firm as he promised before. If the Japanese offer enough conditions, such as promising to help him regain the governorship of the Indochina Federation, there is no guarantee that he will not change his position. When he became suspicious, he listened attentively. The dialogue between Degu and Rang Deju was not willing to let go of a single word.
Clary's doubts were reasonable. Deku did mean to remind Deku and Kobayashi Yotafu, but they were too nervous and did not realize his good intentions.
Jean Dego chose to cooperate with the Japanese at first, with the idea of taking advantage of the situation. However, after this period of suffering, his position changed and he believed that as long as the interests of the Indochina Federation legal person could be guaranteed, he could ask the Japanese make major concessions,
After the plantation owner interest group led by Roland was overthrown, the military forces headed by Ang Bos lost their restraints and began to build up the Nationalist Army with great fanfare. Deku saw this and was anxious in his heart, thinking that Ang Bos and others were this. Digging his own grave, his worries are not unreasonable. If the "mercenary army" composed of local people is allowed to continue to grow, no matter whether the student army can eventually withstand the Japanese attack, the Indochina Federation will have sufficient armed forces. The governments of all kingdoms will inevitably get rid of French control. Originally, the direction of Degu's efforts during this period was to urge the Japanese army to fight over quickly. But now because of the return of the Far East Fleet, Degu returned to Hanoi. His mind was active and he had new ideas. ideas,
His request to meet with Degu to discuss the future of the Indochina Federation was a lie. His real purpose was to promote an alliance between Japan and France, and then the Far East Fleet would return directly from the Strait of Malacca, attack Hanoi by sea, and regain control of the Indochina Federation through military revolt. right,
"I don't know if Ang Bos and others are aware of this potential threat, but one thing is for sure. If they continue to allow the Xuexi army to develop the local armed forces, they will definitely lose military control in the future. I even doubt that Ang Bos will The Persians are also riding a tiger and are unable to dismount, and they have to do this under the power of the Xuebing Army."
Rang Deju is very discerning and this analysis is quite high quality.
After he said this, Deku was unable to refute. Immediately afterwards, Yotao Kobayashi said something else from Japan's standpoint, which completely shook his position.
The purpose of letting Deku and Xiaolin come to see Degu together is to achieve the effect of blushing. Degu persuades people with reason and is good at tempting; Xiaolin threatens with force and intimidates with violence. His words are very straightforward and he firmly believes that the emperor The army will definitely become the final winner of this century's war, and claimed that the fundamental purpose of using troops in Indochina is to open up the southwest front of China. "We do not want to infringe on the interests of traditional Southeast Asian colonial powers, but if anyone If they hinder us from opening the southwest front against China, we don't mind completely destroying them. The British hinder the empire's march into Indochina. You can see the result. Half of the hundreds of thousands of British troops died in battle and were captured. I'm not bragging. , Looking at the Far East, there is no country or force that can stop our progress. That said, General Degu, you have to think carefully about where to go, but you must not become a sinner of your nation just because of a mistake."
