The Northeastern Army still has troops fighting on the domestic frontline battlefield. According to the intelligence they sent to Larong, Marshal Zhang and Wu Keren also have an understanding of the decline in the Japanese army's combat effectiveness. This is naturally a good thing for the Northeastern Army, which has a bloody feud with the Japanese army.
, but considering that the troops have no chance to return to the domestic battlefield now, and even survival has become a problem, this good thing is like an empty castle. Although it is very eye-catching, the distance is so far away, which just whets their appetite.
, it just increases their hunger.
Wu Keren smiled bitterly: "Commander-in-Chief, we also understand what you said. If there is a chance, we are willing to rush to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War now, even if the entire army is killed in battle. Only in this way can we
Wash away the shame of retreating without a fight?! However, even our survival is now a problem. Commander-in-Chief, you have been very kind to our Northeast Army, and you are considered our benefactor, so I will speak frankly. You see
Can you let us retreat to Guangxi to rest and fill our stomachs first? Don't worry, we will never eat and drink for nothing. Aren't the Japanese troops confronting your army in southwest Jiangxi? The war there will be left to us.
, we guarantee that as long as the Northeast Army is here, the Japanese army will not be able to advance even an inch..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Huangyong interrupted him rudely: "Commander Wu, you really have a good idea? Do you know how much we paid to get Guangxi -"
Wu Keren's face, which was originally white and rosy, turned dark immediately after hearing these words. Ouyang Yun quickly interrupted and shouted: "Xiao Jiang, you can't say that." He then said to Wu Keren: "The young marshal and I are
Brothers, your army and ours are also like-minded brother armies. When your army encounters difficulties, we naturally cannot stand by and watch. However, why do we have to go to Guangxi? Where can we rest and recuperate in Myanmar?"
"Commander-in-Chief, we just can't stay in Larong any longer, so we came to ask for your help. If Guangxi doesn't work, we can also go to Zhejiang. I heard that the Japanese army fought very fiercely in Zhejiang..."
Ouyang Yun and Jiang Huangyong looked at each other with smiles on their faces. When Wu Keren saw their smiles, his heart pounded and he couldn't say anything else.
Ouyang Yun said seriously: "Commander Wu, is this what the young marshal meant? It makes me sad. In the eyes of the young marshal, am I, Ouyang Yun, such a snobbish person? If I don't talk about our feelings, I am just pointing out the Northeast Army.
It’s our country’s army, and I can’t possibly add insult to injury at this time.” At this point, he paused, thought for a moment and said, “Our team’s expedition to Southeast Asia is to help the local government resist the Japanese invasion. From here on
To put it bluntly, the local government should at least supply us with grain and grass, didn't you ask for grain from the local government?"
"Myanmar is now the territory of the British. The local government listens to the British and refuses to provide us with supplies. Can we still rob it?" Wu Keren smiled bitterly.
"Why can't you grab it? Hehe, to be honest with Commander Wu, except for the initial shipment of a batch of food, our student expeditionary force has never bothered about this matter since then," Ouyang Yun said: "Whether it is Vietnam or Laos,
Or Myanmar, which has been a vassal of our country since ancient times. From this perspective, it is also our obligation to send troops to help them resist the Japanese army. So, is it logical for them to provide us with supplies? This thing doesn't actually work.
"Nan, Commander Wu, when you go back, I suggest you go see Commander Chu of our First Expeditionary Army, he is very knowledgeable in this regard."
Wu Keren's heart moved, and then asked: "As you said, food can be provided locally, but how to supply ammunition? Basically, except for Thailand, Southeast Asian countries do not have their own arsenals, and they also lack relevant equipment and technology, and there is no ammunition.
It’s useless no matter how hard you try to supply supplies.”
"I can help you solve this problem, but one thing is, what is your army's positioning for the future? Commander Wu, I don't say secret words in front of people. By now, you should see that the defeat of the Japanese invaders is inevitable.
Well, this world war will eventually end. At that time, the world structure will inevitably be reshuffled. If you don’t listen, it will be easier for the Northeast Army to come back than to go back. If, I say if, you will not be welcome to go back in the country by then
If so, what should you do? I think the young commander should have considered this, right?"
Wu Keren remembered the information Jiang Huangyong had revealed to him before, and when he combined the two, his heart started to beat wildly, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "What does the Commander-in-Chief mean, if this day comes, the Xue Bing Army will not do it?"
Welcome us back?"
Ouyang Yun shook his head: "It's not a matter of not being welcome, it's a matter of limited ability. I'm afraid it won't be our turn to speak when the time comes."
Wu Keren deliberately retorted: Just leave Guangxi or Zhejiang to us at will. However, he thought Ouyang Yun had something to say, so he swallowed his words again and asked instead: "Does the Commander-in-Chief have any good suggestions?"
Ouyang Yun stared at him and said slowly: "Commander Wu, are you familiar with history? You should know that the countries in Southeast Asia have been vassal states of our country since ancient times. Of course, the general trend in the world now is national independence, and the past affairs of all nations coming to Korea are no longer
It may have happened. However, as a responsible regional power, I think our country still has the responsibility to take care of the small neighboring countries. What do you think?"
Wu Keren was horrified. The Northeast Army had fallen to this point. Marshal Zhang and others had already realized that they had to find a way out even if they had to sacrifice part of their troops to serve as cannon fodder for the cadet army. However, who would have expected that Ouyang Yun would actually fight
This idea——
What a big tone, what a big ambition, what a deep calculation!
Wu Keren took a deep breath, his voice became hoarse, and asked: "Does the commander-in-chief want our Northeast Army to guard the southwest border for the country?"
"You are wrong. I have no authority to command your army. This is just a suggestion. Since the defeat of the Japanese invaders is inevitable, the Europeans and Americans should have the final say in the future. Commander Wu, I want you to
We must have not forgotten the humiliation of the Opium War, right? There is no eternal friendship between countries. The Japanese can attack the southwest of our country from Vietnam and Burma, and the same can be done by Europe and the United States. Rather than being caught by Europe and the United States, we
Why not take precautions and take advantage of your inherent advantages to seize the initiative?"
"Let me think about it, Commander-in-Chief, your idea is really, really -" Wu Keren said, "It's really" for a long time, but he couldn't find the right words to continue.
Ouyang Yun smiled and said, "Do you think I'm a bit exaggerated?"
"No, no, it's just that the matter is so big that I, I can't get a full picture of it right now."
"Take my words to the young marshal. After all, this is just a suggestion from me. If the Northeast Army intends to share the country's worries, I promise to solve your army's ammunition supply problem!"?
