Roland, let Deju escape, the mutiny planned by the Japanese failed, the Xuebing Army attacked the French planters more unscrupulously, and the Indochina Federation suddenly entered a new era of military rule. Fei Ouyang Yun gave ten men in an alternative way. The four student soldiers avenged their blood, and the French plantation owner interest group who colluded with the Japanese took the blame. They paid a high price for this. Fully half of the colonial land was "nationalized" and became a national treasure. The collateral used by Persia to repay the debts of the military branch.
The Xuebing Army sharpened its swords and showed great ambitions, aiming directly at the strategic resource of rubber. The Japanese need rubber, and the Xuebing Army also needs it. Moreover, as the army becomes more and more modernized, the demand will It’s getting bigger and bigger. At present, the rubber needed by the Xuebing Army mainly depends on imports from the US-controlled Philippines. However, once the United States and Japan go to war and the Philippines is captured by the Japanese, this way will be cut off. In this matter, Ouyang Yun Lao had already made a plan - after Chen Ce expressed his sincerity to Xuebingjun, he immediately asked Fan Xudong to organize people to plant rubber in Hainan Island. After nearly two years of hard work, Hainan's rubber planting has now formed a certain Of course, there is still a long time before the harvest. The United States and Japan will start a war by the end of this year at the latest. It will take at least five years to harvest the rubber in Hainan Island. How will the demand for rubber be solved during this period? Ouyang Yun was originally inclined to hoard, but after the Western Expedition, he had new ideas. This was one of the reasons why he sought to control the Indochina Federation and became the man behind the curtain behind the French.
The Xuebing Army marched westward under the orders of the Chongqing government. To outsiders, it seemed to outsiders that the Xuebing Army had compromised with the central government, which was a diplomatic failure. But in the eyes of Ouyang Yun, Jiang Shuren and others, this was an attempt to open up the southwest international market. opportunity.
Looking at the current country, Xuebingjun Special Zone has the best economic development and the richest people. This has caused the following embarrassing scene. Domestically, the high-tech products produced by Xuebingjun are better than those in Fujian, Guangdong and Qiong. Outside the market, sales in other places, even Chongqing, are actually difficult to achieve scale. Seeing that the local markets in Guangdong, Fujian and Qiong have become saturated, Ouyang Yun has to consider opening up new markets for the long term.
Originally, the British and French refused to allow Xuebing military products to enter Southeast Asia, but now they have no choice but to do so.
Under the planning of Jiang Shuren and Niu John, a Southeast Asian economic development group headed by Fan Xudong was secretly established. The task of the group was to formulate relevant plans to help Xuebingjun companies dump unsalable local products to Southeast Asia. Various goods.
The establishment of the French Republic is an opportunity for enterprises in the Xuebing Military Zone to enter the Southeast Asian market. Although the cooperation details signed by Ouyang Yun and Ang Bos did not mention matters other than weapons and military cooperation, as long as the French really want to If they develop and strengthen, and think about marching into mainland Europe, they will eventually find out embarrassingly that except for the people in their troops, they are still from France, and everything else has been stamped with the imprint of "made in Guangzhou".
While the Cadet Expeditionary Force was steadily implementing Ouyang Yun's Indochina Federal Economic Colonization Plan, on February 11, the two warring sides finally decided the winner at the long-standing Pharos Defense Line. The Thai-British Allied Forces held on for more than half a month. After that, the British army was defeated first. Then, Commander Wan Fulin of the 53rd Army, the frontline commander of the Northeast Expeditionary Force, decisively chose to withdraw from the battlefield when he might be flanked by the Japanese army.
The British could run away without even saying hello, so the team naturally had no obligation to hold on to the end, which only made the Thais suffer. As a result, in addition to more than 5,000 people in the 50,000 Thai team died in the battle, the rest actually surrendered to the Japanese army collectively.
This immediately changed the war situation in the entire southern peninsula.
Before the outbreak of this battle, Thailand and Japan maintained quite friendly relations. In the 19th century, China, Japan and Thailand were the only three countries in Asia that were not colonized by the West. The reason why China and Japan were able to avoid it was that the former was too
It’s hard to pronounce because the latter is too strong. As for Thailand, it made full use of the contradiction between France and Britain, thus becoming a buffer zone for the two countries’ Asian colonies.
Living between two Western powers makes life difficult. This makes Thai people yearn to be as powerful as Japan, which can defeat behemoths like polar bears. The extreme dislike of Westerners made the country implement a constitutional monarchy in 1939.
Under the control of the military regime, it began to move closer to its powerful Asian "distant neighbor" Japan, thus promoting the very important "Japan-Thailand Goodwill".
It is well documented that when the League of Nations made a resolution to condemn Japan because of the Manchurian Incident, Thailand actually chose to abstain. In addition, in the past history, when Japan was besieged by ABCD and was plagued by insufficient resources, Thailand
The military cabinet at that time was so sympathetic that it not only provided Japan with a large amount of rubber and cotton fabrics regardless of international public opinion. What was even more ridiculous was that it also appealed to Chiang Kai-shek, saying that Japan and Thailand were all Asians and should unite to deal with Western whites.
All of the above show how friendly the Thai government is to Japan. Isoroku Yamamoto led the Western Expedition Fleet into the Indian Ocean with the banner of expelling the Western colonists and establishing a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, which just catered to Thailand's wishes.
If Wavell hadn't forced the Thais to go to war with a large army, and the Japanese had actually occupied a lot of Thai land, the Thais would definitely not have chosen to go to war with the Japanese.
The Pharos defense line collapsed, the British and Northeastern armies were defeated, and more than 40,000 Thai troops surrendered. This was just a step forward for the Thai binpun cabinet at that time. When binpun and Yamamoto Isoroku came into contact before, they still held the pipa and half-hidden their faces.
Well, now I just take off my mask and go into battle naked.
On February 13, Thai and Japanese representatives reached a so-called "military cooperation agreement" in Bangkok. Immediately, more than 40,000 Thai troops captured by the Japanese army transformed into the so-called "Greater East Asia Alliance Army." This time the Thais
The change of flag was quite thorough. The next day, more than 15,000 British troops who had just received the relevant news and had not had time to evacuate the Thai border were intercepted by 10,000 Thai troops from the northwest in Saiyu. Then, the British general also
Before they could react, more than 3,000 Japanese troops suddenly appeared in the southeast. As a result, the Japanese shouted with a loudspeaker: "You have been surrounded. Surrender without killing!" The more than 20,000 British troops actually surrendered obediently.
The weapons were surrendered to the Japanese army.
The drastic changes that occurred in Thailand naturally did not escape the eyes and ears of Fox Tong lurking there. A sealed telegram was sent to Pobiet. Ouyang Yun could hardly believe his eyes after seeing it. He did not know everything, so he did not
I don’t know that there has been ambiguity between Thailand and Japan for a long time. I really can’t understand why the Thais, who were allies just now, suddenly changed their flag and became the devil’s dog. And when I think that the Cambodia-Thailand border will become a front line, and there are many enemies.
In front of hundreds of thousands of people, his brows were furrowed tightly, and he couldn't help but feel a bit of pressure in his heart.
The originally simple situation suddenly became complicated, and the British army failed to live up to expectations. As a result, the burden of blocking the Japanese army fell entirely on the shoulders of the Northeast Expeditionary Force and the Cadet Expeditionary Force.
Ouyang Yun and Marshal Zhang exchanged information through telegrams every day. Because Thailand suddenly rebelled, more than thirty telegrams went back and forth between them that day. In the end, they reached a consensus. Thailand would ignore him, but Myanmar still had
The French Indochina Federation must not be lost.
"Brother, I admire your tactics, but as you are just over the edge, your tactics should be softer when dealing with the French," the young marshal said in a subsequent telegram after discussing the use of troops against Japan and Thailand.
At this time, the British and Japanese media were vigorously criticizing the "atrocities" committed by the Xuebing Army in the French Indochina Federation, and the world's public opinion was also aroused. It is not surprising that the Young Marshal heard about it. The Young Marshal obviously cares about Britain.
He was his ally, so he was worried that Ouyang Yun's actions would anger the Westerners and be detrimental to their Western Expedition.
Ouyang Yun didn't worry about this at all. His call back was very interesting: "Brother, thank you for your kindness. Don't worry, the fist is big enough, the truth is on my side! If you are tight, I suggest you
Give it a try and the effect will be great!"
Ouyang Yun's words were 30% dramatic and 70% serious. He didn't want to instill anything into the young marshal. He just knew the current difficulties faced by the Northeastern Army and gave him an idea to solve the logistics supply problem.
When Chiang Kai-shek selected the Northeastern Army and the Xuexi Army to form an expeditionary force to go west, his original strategy was to kill with a borrowed knife. And if the knife was not sharp enough, he would also provide it with two whetstones.
The "King of Yunnan" Long Yun and the supply problem are the two whetstones for Chiang Kai-shek's plan. Long Yun was designated to be responsible for the logistics and supplies of the expeditionary force. As long as he is greedy, he will definitely set off the Yunnan Army and the Northeast Army.
The dispute between the Xuebing Army. Who among the warlords would be a good bird? If a quarrel really breaks out, it will definitely be a lose-lose situation. In that case, Lao Chiang will be saved a lot of trouble. However, the development of things is unexpected.
Lao Jiang was not expecting this. This time, Long Yun not only did not take advantage of the opportunity, but also personally intervened in the matter, and did not give his subordinates a chance to deduct any money.
When the plan failed, Chiang Kai-shek came up with another plan and simply reduced the rated supply to one-third. In this way, Long Yun was not greedy and the Xuebing Army did not care about this supply, but it was not enough for the Northeast Expeditionary Army.
.
The Young Marshal had already heard about the huge commotion caused by the Xuebing Army in the Indochina Federation. It happened to be a supply difficulty, and it was impossible for him not to be tempted. However, he always had scruples and did not dare to act rashly.
Do whatever you want.
The Northeast Expeditionary Force and the Cadet Expeditionary Force entered the Southern Peninsula at almost the same time with the same purpose. Although they still maintained a close alliance, due to differences in concepts, the two sides unknowingly drifted apart.
