The scene in front of him was unimaginable to Degu. Fei was so angry that his face was livid, and he yelled at Angpos: "Ambos, what are you doing? How can you do this? Every soldier is the pride of the country, how can you do this?
Let them be insulted and punished corporally by Chinese people at will?! This, this is not corporal punishment, this is violence! Violence, do you understand?"
When the Cadet Army Training Corps first began to train the French army, Ambois and others could not accept this method. They believed that their soldiers could not adapt to this barbaric training method. If they were not corrected, there might even be a possibility of mutiny.
Angpos and the others were worried. The French troops of these three divisions were the last force they could rely on. They were worried that if these soldiers mutinied, they would completely lose their right to speak. At that time, they really regretted it and felt that school was over.
When the army comes in, it is an act of driving away the wolf and luring the tiger behind. It is really not worth the loss.
Of the three generals, only Sagemon insisted on taking a look before talking. His reason was that as long as the Chinese could really help them train a strong army and give them hope of restoring their country, then no matter how big the sacrifice, it would be worth it.
Ang Bos firmly disagreed with this view. He approached Xiang Shaoyun and asked for a change in training methods. He also raised questions, saying that he had visited the training of the 1st Mountain Division and there was no abuse or corporal punishment of soldiers. He threatened Xiang Shaoyun and said,
If they do not correct this training method, he will complain to Commander-in-Chief Ouyang Yun and ask for a replacement of the training team.
Xiang Shaoyun answered him like this at the time: General, you are right. Our student army has indeed stopped using this relatively backward training method a long time ago. But there is a reason. Our soldiers are self-conscious. The commander ordered them to run away.
For a five-kilometer cross-country trip with heavy loads, the soldiers will rush out after the order is given. What about the performance of the soldiers of the precious army? They can also execute it, but what is the difference between that and a turtle crawling? Moreover, you can go to the end to see it.
It is a miracle that a hundred soldiers from a regiment can be fully equipped in the end! General, have you ever thought about it? If they are ordered to perform a sniper mission now, what will happen? Whether they can arrive at the sniper site in time is another matter.
, I'm afraid that even if they arrive, they won't be able to snipe the enemy at all, right? They have no guns, do you expect them to fight the enemy with bare hands? I am not looking down on your army, I am afraid that such soldiers have not been born yet, right?
After hearing Xiang Shaoyun's answer, Angbos blushed with shame, and from then on he no longer cared about how they trained his subordinates. As time went by, after personally experiencing the changes in the army, he accepted this from the bottom of his heart.
This is a way of teaching, and comforts oneself: Maybe, the Chinese really want to help us?
Choosing to receive Degu and the British here was Huang Haifu's idea imposed on him by Ouyang Yun's will. Moreover, in order to achieve a shock effect, the trained regiment had only received this kind of special training for three days. He had not expected Degu
Seeing the reaction to this scene, he had already prepared an answer. At this moment, seeing that Degu was really furious and furious, he said unhurriedly: "General, you should know why I did all this. For the great cause of restoring the country,
I am willing to make every attempt. There is an old Chinese saying that jade cannot be cut into a weapon, and wood cannot be chopped into wood. General, it is not that we French cannot fight, they are just used to being pampered. Just wait and see, it is this regiment, a
If you come back to see it in a few months, it will definitely be a different scene."
How could Degu know what was going on here? He became even angrier when he heard this. He pointed at Angpos’s nose and cursed: “Ambos, General Wavell said that you were brainwashed by the Chinese. I didn’t believe it at the time, but now, I believe it.
Have you forgotten the history of the Indochina Federation? It was our ancestors who snatched it from the Chinese. Even if the Chinese are not our enemies, they are definitely not our friends!" He pointed at the excitement.
Those French soldiers who were being scolded and kicked by the instructors of Langya and the Unity Brigade shouted: "You are also a father. If your son suffered such inhuman treatment here, what would you think? Angpos, you
Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?”
At this time, Degu was only a major general, but Ampos had been promoted to general. Originally, because this general had a lot of qualifications (he was promoted by himself, and now he is the largest in the French Army of the Indochina Federation), and Degu had many
Having the boss of a fleet makes Angpos appear very humble. If Degu just vented his anger casually, Angpos might have tolerated it considering the overall situation. But Degu did not know what is good and what is wrong, not only because of his humility
But instead of restraining himself, he became more aggressive. Even the clay figure Angbos couldn't help but get angry. He interrupted Degu with a wave of his hand and asked: "Degu, are you the president now?"
Degu was startled, then quickly understood and retorted: "Angbos, are you mocking me? You, the so-called governor, still have the title of general, you seem to be self-proclaimed, right?" After a pause, he said in an accentuated tone: "I said
What's wrong with your two sentences? Isn't what I said the truth? Look, look, look at what our soldiers have become?"
Ang Boshi said "ha" with a smile: "No matter what they become, they are still my subordinates!"
"Your subordinates? They are the French army first, and I will never allow you to ruin them like this! Angpos, look at what this is?" Degu said, taking out a piece of paper from his pocket and handing it to him.
.
This is a letter of appointment, which states that Deku is appointed as the Governor of the Federation of Indochina, and the stamp is the French Colonial Union Government.
Angpos glanced at it and laughed loudly, handed it to Yi and Sachmon aside, and said: "Look, the French colonial coalition government? Vichy was supported by the Germans, who authorized the establishment of this government?"
Turning to Degu, he asked with gleaming eyes: "Is it you Degu? How virtuous and capable are you, and you actually dare to call yourself the government?"
This so-called "French colonial coalition government" was instigated by Wavell at his suggestion to De Gou and George Robert, the governor-general of French West Indies. Wavell believed that this would form a constraint on the Indochina Federation and facilitate De Gou's persuasion.
Persia and others, pulled them back from "the edge of the cliff".
It is worth mentioning that after the French mainland surrendered to Germany and the Vichy government was established, France's numerous overseas colonies acted independently and gave full play to their "spirit of freedom". They either accepted the leadership of the Vichy government and indirectly surrendered to Germany, or accepted the leadership of Free France and neighboring countries.
They allied themselves with the British colonial governments, and even expressed their support clearly. Anyway, each had its own opinions. And it was Robert, the governor of the French West Indies, who actually accepted Vichy before the arrival of Degou led the Far East Fleet.
The government issued decrees, but secretly flirted with Wavell, pretending to be a man of moral integrity and a British heart.
Wavell's proposal to establish a so-called "United Government of the French Colonies" hit Chedegou's itch, but now that it was exposed in person by Ambrose, it immediately became his sore spot.
Degu's expression suddenly changed, he pointed at him and cursed: "Ampos, it seems that you are really hopeless. If that's the case, then you can't blame me!" After speaking, he stepped back.
