When the riots broke out in Kampong Dela, Ang Bos and Yi and others were arguing fiercely in Hanoi about the future of the French Indochina Federation. Since Raffarin was assassinated, the French in the Far East have actually split into two parts.
. Some of them are headed by Finance Officer Roland. Their philosophy is to muddle through and just protect this three-acre territory of the Indochina Federation. However, what Ang Bosi and others are now bent on is to form a restoration army in the hope that one day they can
Fight back to Europe, liberate France from the Germans, and become a national hero.
When Ang Bosi was still in Chongqing, he was persuaded by Mu Jiandie to have the idea of forming a revival. But now, after seeing the neat military appearance and advanced weapons and equipment of the Xuebing Army, he was even more eager -
—
There is an old saying in state-owned enterprises: Don't be afraid of not knowing the goods, just be afraid of comparing goods. Before meeting the Xuebing Army, Ang Bosi had found some information about the Xuebing Army through other channels and knew that the Xuebing Army was better than the Central Army.
, but he only heard about it, and he didn't have a deep impression on it in his mind. It wasn't until he saw the Xuebing Army with his own eyes that he truly realized the difference between the French army and the other side, and he even thought about whether he could do the same.
How to build the French Far East Army into such an army?
After reaching a tacit understanding with Yi and Sagemon, Angpos started lobbying, trying to persuade Roland and others to support his decision, so that he could use the colonial income to buy equipment from the student army.
One wanted to maintain the status quo, while the other wanted to forge ahead. Unable to convince Roland for a while, Ambois simply summoned French elites from various departments and industries to hold this meeting.
The meeting has been going on for three days, but there has been no progress at all. At this moment, Yi and a big garden owner named Dudley were having a heated argument. Suddenly, Ang Bos's adjutant Borg hurried in. He walked straight away
He walked behind Umpros, lowered his head and whispered something in his ear.
Umpos only listened to a few words before his face became extremely serious. The change in his expression was seen by Yi, who was questioning Dudley loudly. The latter immediately stopped and looked at Umpos quietly with the others.
When Borg raised his head, Roland couldn't help but ask: "What happened?"
"There is a riot in Kampong Dela," Umpos said in a deep voice.
"What?" Roland exclaimed, and then asserted: "It must have been secretly instigated by the Chinese. Angbos, you should believe it now, right? The Chinese are really forming the so-called 'National Independence Liberation Army', hum! Just hearing the name
We should know what the Chinese people think, do you still have illusions about the Chinese people?"
Just after Roland finished speaking, a group of politicians, businessmen, and big garden owners who supported him all expressed their opinions. Everyone unanimously pointed the finger at the Xue Bingjun and Ang Bosi, who all believed that Ang Bosi had released the Xu Bing Army and entered the country.
This is an act of driving away wolves and advancing tigers later. Some of the more agitated people even threatened to expel the student army by force and drive these yellow-skinned monkeys out of the Southern Peninsula——
The conference room turned into a vegetable market. Yi couldn't stand it any longer, pounded the table and shouted: "Quiet, quiet! Listen to the Governor -"
Ang Bosi stood up, glanced at everyone and said: "Regarding the matter of the National Independence Liberation Army, Commander-in-Chief Ouyang said hello to me. The purpose of their formation of the National Independence Liberation Army is not to target us, but to deal with the Japanese.
'National Independence Army'."
Everyone was startled when they heard this, and then heard Roland yell: "You actually know about this? Okay, I said that there have been several incidents of mobs attacking the garden in Kampong Dela, how could you ignore it? It turns out that
Have you colluded with the Chinese people? Everyone, have you heard this? Our Governor, now actually wants to help the Chinese people deal with us - Ang Bos, so what you call buying the weapons and equipment of the student army to transform the country
Master, it’s also to help the Chinese people fight the Japanese, right?”
After Roland finished these heart-wrenching words, Dudley suddenly stood up and shouted: "Everyone, since the Governor has betrayed us, I suggest that the Governor be re-elected immediately."
"I agree!" Someone immediately echoed.
Everyone actually used the Kampong Dela riots to force Angpos into the palace. This was unexpected by Angpos and Yi and others. Angpos was so angry that his face was red, and Yi and others had blue veins on their faces. At this time, they had been saying
The taciturn Sagemon suddenly stood up and slapped the table, saying coldly: "Gentlemen, you seem to have forgotten one thing - even if the riot in Kampong Dela was instigated by the cadet army, even if the Chinese want to invade India
China Federation. I have to ask, what can you do to stop them? Do you rely on the three local divisions we have and the local police forces? Everyone, it’s not that I am willing to destroy the ambition of my own people, the real situation
Yes, if the Chinese really want to use force against us, we will have no power to resist."
"This, this is not caused by you, it is you who brought the student army in - this is your standard way of luring a wolf into the house! You should be responsible for this!"
"Aren't there still British people? We are allies with Britain. There are also Americans. Americans will help us-"
"The British? The British have been beaten like lost dogs by the Japanese. They can't protect themselves. Will they have the energy to take care of us? The Americans? Everyone, you don't know, right? Just a few days ago, the Americans just helped the Xuebing Army.
A large-scale rescue of Chinese people in Singapore and Malaysia has been completed - wake up, everyone, if you want to keep your financial situation, there is only one choice now, and that is to support our cooperation with the Xuebing Army!"
"What a joke, do you support your cooperation with Xuebingjun? It took several generations of our family to accumulate this wealth——"
"What's the use of being rich and powerful when you're dead?" The quarrel between the big garden owners and Sagemon became more and more fierce, and gradually began to turn to personal attacks - Sagemon said these words, and immediately
Roland was completely angered. He stood up and pointed at Sagemon and said, "Sagemon, what are you talking about? Are you still French?"
"Of course I am a Frenchman, and a truly patriotic Frenchman. As for you, are you still French? If you are still French, have your consciences been eaten by dogs? Seeing the fall of the country and the citizens becoming subjugated slaves, you
Are you indifferent?" Sagemon said loudly and aggressively.
"Sachmon, you are being ridiculous. As a Frenchman, you should protect the rights of your compatriots, but what have you done? So now you are helping foreigners to bully your own compatriots!"
"Okay!" Ang Bos couldn't stand it anymore and suddenly slapped the table and shouted: "General Sagemon, sit down! And you - I will investigate and deal with the unrest in Kampong Dela.
- I can assure you that we will never lose control of the Indochina Federation. Now, let’s vote! Those who support our formation of a federation, please raise your hands!”
