This method of paying military salaries to mercenaries was naturally Ouyang Yun's idea. Of course Fei 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 enough and big enough.
The tangible temptation was there, and he firmly believed that the French would obediently give in after weighing the pros and cons.
"The key to whether France can truly return to Europe depends on us. Our people 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, the Indochina Federation will definitely
It no longer exists - where did it go? It was sold to our Xuebingjun! 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 the security of surrounding areas
The situation. 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 what he said, he actually had one intention: Xuebingjun was determined to belong to 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 hid in the wine cellar of the nightclub early on, and Jean Degou disguised himself as a waiter. When he appeared in front of De Gu and Clary in the disguise of a waiter,
De Gu was so shocked that he almost screamed when he pointed his finger 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 Vallefort. 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, Kobayashi Yotao, 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 is Roland? Why didn't he come? Aren't you together?"
"Roland is sick," said Rang Degu. Looking at Degu, he tentatively asked: "General Degu, 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 are your next plans?" Degu said and looked at Clary.
Clary frowned slightly. It was as if Degu had always been wary of him, and he did not fully trust Degu. He felt that Degu's special mention of the British just now was a bit abrupt, and 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 De Gu and Rang Deju was not allowed to miss 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 significant concessions.
After the plantation owner interest group headed by Roland was overthrown, the military forces headed by Ang Bos had no restraint and began to carry out reconstruction with great fanfare. Degou saw this and was anxious in his heart, thinking that Ang Bos and others were digging for themselves.
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 kingdoms of the Indochina Federation with sufficient armed forces will
The government will inevitably get rid of the control of France. 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.
.
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 the others are aware of this potential threat. But one thing is for sure, if they continue to allow the student army to develop the local armed forces, they will definitely lose military control in the future. I even doubt that Ang Bos
Now they are riding a tiger and are unable to get off, and 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, Kobayashi Yotao said something from Japan's standpoint, which completely shook his position.
The purpose of letting Deku and Xiao Lin come to see De Gu together is to achieve the effect of red and white faces. De Gu persuades people with reason and is good at tempting; Xiao Lin 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 claims that the fundamental reason why they want to use troops on the South Peninsula 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 hindered the empire's march into the southern peninsula. Have you seen the result? More than 100,000 British troops, half of whom were killed in battle and captured! I'm not bragging!
, Looking at the Far East, there is no country or force that can stop our progress! Having said that, General Degu, you have to think carefully about where to go! But don't become a sinner of this nation just because of a mistake!"
