In Hanoi, almost at the same time that Gu Lianyun and Guo Muyi were talking about Ouyang Yun, the latter was sitting on a chair with a code pad and quietly looking at a new secret message sent by Chen Shichang,
Guo Muyi's guess was very accurate. Ouyang Yun had indeed had the idea of evacuating Chen Shichang and his fleet from the United States at this time. In fact, since entering 1941, he had been planning this matter in his mind.
Regarding the Pearl Harbor incident, Ouyang Yun's mood was quite complicated. Originally, he hoped that Japan could severely damage the U.S. Pacific Fleet or even completely annihilate it, because only then would China have the opportunity to become the absolute protagonist of the Asian battlefield in World War II. However, After learning that Japan's Yamato and Wuwei battleships had been transformed into aircraft carriers, he was worried that if the U.S. Pacific Fleet was completely destroyed, it would lose the naval power that could restrain the Japanese, and the navy of the Xuebing Army would be Pushed to the forefront prematurely, although in his heart he was very much looking forward to a decisive naval battle with Japan on behalf of the United States, but based on the current training situation of Chen Shichang and the others, he had no confidence at all.
It is not easy to build an aircraft carrier fleet from scratch. After the Yandi aircraft carrier fleet was formed, Chen Shichang sent back no less than ten secret telegrams. What worried Ouyang Yun very much was that almost every telegram contained reports on training casualties. So much so that he would raise his heart every time before turning on the secret code, for fear that there would be a number inside that he couldn't bear.
Casualties mainly occurred in the Hainan Airlines area. Although retired American naval aviation officers helped with the training, all trainees were exposed to it for the first time, so some bizarre casualties occurred. As for the crash, it happened almost every time during large-scale training. occur,
Ouyang Yun originally wanted to wait until the Yandi aircraft carrier fleet was fully operational before letting them leave the United States. However, as the haze of war in the Pacific became lower and lower, he did not dare to take risks and decided to withdraw them first.
"Evacuating to Karachi is a good choice, but before that, we must first find a way to block the Japanese's westward march into the Indian Ocean, with mines." Ouyang Yun was thinking about blocking the Strait of Malacca, and Pan Meiren took another telegram. Walked in, "Sister is here." She handed him the telegram and said,
Ouyang Yun said "Oh" and opened it, then turned the code book to the corresponding page and looked at it carefully. Pan Meiren saw that the tea cup in front of him was empty, so she took it to fill the water, and waited for her to turn around. When she came, she found that his lips were pursed tightly and his face was filled with anger. She put the tea cup down and asked, "Is there any bad news?"
Ouyang Yun slammed the telegram on the table and said: "The Jews are becoming more and more outrageous." The next moment, he picked up the pen and dragged the notepad, wrote two paragraphs in a flash and handed it to her: "The above message Give it to Gu Lianyun, and send the following to Chen Shichang."
Pan Meiren glanced at it, nodded and walked out.
Half an hour later, Gu Lianyun and Guo Muyi saw the secret message sent to them. They translated the message and read it one after another. Guo Muyi said: "The commander-in-chief is angry. I hope the Jews will understand."
Gu Lianyun sealed the telegram and said, "Let's see what Hull will say tomorrow."
The next day, when the two sides again cooperated on the specific terms of the cooperation agreement, when Gu Lianyun made a request from the Xuebing Army to include the issue of Jewish aircraft carriers in terms of hidden terms, Hull First he was shocked, then he laughed,
There is something that Gu Lianyun and the others don't know. The reason why the Zionist Organization has gone back on its word on the aircraft carrier and has not fulfilled its promise is certainly because of the influence of the Guangzhou Jewish Chamber of Commerce, but the biggest reason is also the attitude of the US government. , it turned out that after the Japanese expeditionary fleet invaded Southeast Asia, the U.S. Navy felt the urgency of war, and eager to increase their strength, they also took a fancy to Jewish aircraft carriers, and offered to purchase them at a high price from the restoration organization.
The price offered by the U.S. Navy was very attractive, so the Zionist Organization intended to sell one and keep another for itself. At the same time, it set additional conditions, requiring the U.S. government to ensure the safety of the Jews in Guangzhou. In other words, if the Xuebing Army Therefore, if the Jews are angered, the US government must step in to deal with it.
Hull participated in the operation of this matter. At that time, he felt that it was meaningless for the Zionist Organization to retain an aircraft carrier fleet. At this time, he came up with the idea that since the Jews and the cadet army had already agreed, they might as well divide it up. Forget these two aircraft carriers, not only that, considering that the strength of the U.S. Navy is far greater than that of the Cadet Army Navy, he further thought: If the two sides can establish a joint command post in wartime, wouldn't the U.S. Navy be able to There are three more aircraft carrier fleets (at this time, the Americans still do not know that Britain has leased Karachi's "Enmity-class" aircraft carrier to the Xuebing Army),
"No problem at all." Hull agreed on the spot, smiling as he watched the recorder add this clause to the hidden clause.
At 11:30 noon that day, Hull represented the US government and Gu Lianyun represented the Xuebingjun. The two parties signed the cooperation agreement and immediately held a small press conference to announce it.
Two days later, Hull and Gu Lianyun visited the secret headquarters of the Zionist Organization. After about two hours of bickering, the Jews were defeated. After receiving several verbal guarantees, they transferred the two freshly-baked aircraft carriers to The fleet was handed over to the U.S. government and the cadet army respectively.
On the third day, after receiving the notice, Chen Shichang immediately took about two thousand soldiers to receive their fleet, and then spent two days driving to the waters where the Yandi aircraft carrier fleet was located, and began intense adaptive training.
When Chen Shichang and the others were making active preparations to return to Asia, Ouyang Yun in Hanoi received good news. Ang Bos and De Gu coincided with each other. In addition to more than 2,000 French naval officers and soldiers in the Far East Fleet, more than 2,000 people voluntarily joined the British. Except for the Z fleet, everyone else rejected the invitation of Wavell and Phillips and asked to come to Hanoi.
For this matter, Wavell sent a telegram to Ouyang Yun, "kindly" telling him the motive of Duc Gu's last trip to Hanoi, and reminding him to be careful of the group of French people led by Duc Gu.
After reading this telegram, Ouyang Yun laughed loudly and said to Zhang Liang beside him: "This Wavell is an interesting person, but I don't know what he will think when he sees the French who appear as volunteer soldiers in the future. An expression."
After Zhang Liang's injury was almost healed, Ouyang Yun promoted him as Liu Kui's deputy. Since Liu Kui escorted a batch of mines urgently transported by fighter planes from Haikou to Chittagong the day before yesterday, during this period, the general headquarters He is responsible for all security work.
Zhang Liang knew about the last time De Gu came to Hanoi, and also knew that the British were involved, so he smiled and said: "The old British man will be ashamed."
Ouyang Yun smiled and did not continue the topic, and ordered: "Go tell Secretary Pan and ask her to reply to the British old man like this. I am very grateful for his 'kindness' reminder and will definitely take good care of the French. Also, I hope that in the future The work of laying torpedoes in the Strait of Malacca is being stepped up. If there are not enough torpedoes, we are willing to provide another batch free of charge."
(Old poison: Brother Zhang Liang, thank you for your hard work)
