Chapter 219: It's not easy to fool a powerful person who comes from the sky! (The third update!)
Looking at the malicious smile on Cun Yunsheng's face, Long Wenjian subconsciously took two steps back.
Every time he saw this smile, he had a bad feeling.
As expected, Cun Yunsheng's scalp tingled as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Let your troops continue south to Borneo. I need you to take this place for me."
Long Wenjian looked at Cun Yunsheng in amazement. He didn't expect such a request. It was indeed beyond his expectations.
"Borneo? Isn't that a British colony? The British army jumped up and cursed just because of Rangoon. If they took over Borneo, wouldn't they go completely crazy?" Long Wenjian asked subconsciously.
Who knew that Cun Yunsheng seemed so calm.
"You are right, but the British army is too busy to deal with us. This is our chance."
"Your troops moving south will not attract much attention."
"Taking Borneo and then occupying the Strait of Malacca will completely cut off the Japanese army's connection, which will also play a huge role in the development of the war situation."
Cun Yunsheng pointed at the map as he spoke.
"The Japanese army is now moving westward. If nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely send their main force westward to India. By then, if we occupy the Strait of Malacca, it means we will have cut off the Japanese army's connection. At that time, we can try to wipe out the Japanese army in one fell swoop."
"But that's where Yamashita Fengwen is stationed," Long Wenjian said hesitantly.
"What? Are you scared of facing Shan Xia Feng Wen?" Cun Yunsheng chuckled.
"To be honest, I am a little scared. I originally thought that more than 20,000 people could easily take over the city of Yangon, but it turned out to be a completely different story. The quality of individual Japanese soldiers far exceeded my imagination. If we want to take over Borneo relying solely on these natives, I am afraid the casualties will be very huge." Long Wenjian hesitated and spoke.
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but feel relieved. He didn't expect that Long Wenjian had also grown a lot.
Then Cun Yunsheng said with a smile.
"There are always sacrifices in war. Besides, what does it matter to us if more natives die?"
"This is General Stilwell's order."
Cun Yunsheng was worried that Long Wenjian would be upset because so many natives were killed and injured, so he specifically emphasized that this was Stilwell's order.
Hearing this, Long Wenjian chuckled. He understood Cun Yunsheng's worries, then shook his head and said.
"Commander, I don't have much affection for these natives."
"As you said before, no matter how many casualties there are, it won't have much impact on us."
"Moreover, in the previous battle, he harmed many of our expeditionary soldiers. I remember this grudge clearly."
With Long Wenjian's words, Cun Yunsheng felt much more at ease.
"Go meet your partner. He is an excellent soldier and you two can work well together." Cun Yunsheng nodded, then patted the other's shoulder and said solemnly.
"Yes, Commander." Long Wenjian responded.
Cun Yunsheng went to find Wendel Fettig.
Looking at the bearded Fettig in front of him, Cun Yunsheng knew his glorious achievements.
Just a few examples will make you stunned.
Coconut trees are used to brew alcohol for cars, which in turn use electrolytes to charge batteries.
Use a glass soda bottle and fence wire to make a homemade telegraph (similar to a crystal radio).
The hollow window grilles were made into bullet shells for hunting rifles, and the gunpowder was the mines that fishermen fished out of the sea.
This is just the military aspect. If it is about trade, it would be even more amazing.
You can also make soap with coconut and wood ash, exchange the soap for sugar from local people, and then ferment the sugar to make alcohol.
The guy even organized woodblock printing and came up with a pretty decent currency.
Basically, as long as this guy is pushed into a corner, he can do anything.
The only problem, of course, was the radio station.
But it doesn't matter. He directly brought together someone who had heard of radio, someone who had sold radios, and someone who had studied radio to develop radio together.
In the R&D team, the one who studied radio was the most unfortunate. He only had a high school education, and all he learned was radio telegraphy, and that was by correspondence.
This is equivalent to asking the pilot to build a plane that can make living people angry to death and then make dead people angry again.
The good news is that they finally contacted the US military with the help of this simple radio station.
Does it feel fake?
No, all of the above is true!
This guy is simply the top representative of science and engineering men.
The above operations only prove that he has strong hands-on ability.
The subsequent operations made both the United States and Japan confused.
The first to be confused were the Japanese army, after all, there were so many resistance organizations in Mindanao.
Indigenous people, allied forces, and overseas Chinese all have a share.
At that time, the local overseas Chinese sold all their belongings to form a guerrilla force of more than 700 people. That was the true martial virtue.
At least the Japanese army suffered a lot.
But they only dared to call themselves guerrillas and did not dare to give themselves any random name.
The results of it?
Fettig directly called his guerrillas the US troops stationed in the Philippines.
The Japanese army was confused when they received the news.
Didn’t the U.S. military get defeated by them and retreat?
Why else?
The Japanese army was very anxious about this, and was even forced to use the radio to send false news that "your brigadier general was killed in the bombing."
This was the trouble and anxiety that Fettig brought to the Japanese army.
The reason that made the US military even more confused was that MacArthur reported that Fettig should have died in Mindanao.
Even Major General Charles Willoughby, who was in charge of intelligence, personally assured MacArthur that Fettig was a puppet controlled by the Japanese.
But the Japanese telegrams repeatedly mentioned Brigadier General Windell several times.
In the end, there was no other way. The US military spent a lot of effort and finally confirmed that Fettig was really alive.
As a result, Mai Paopao only allowed Fettig to become the commander of the local guerrillas and did not recognize his rank of brigadier general.
Fettig was even only asked to collect intelligence and not to launch any armed action.
To put it bluntly, there is only the power of investigation, not the power of command.
When Fettig got the news, he was stunned.
Are you polite?
How is this played?
You have to know that the local indigenous people have a great hatred for the Japanese army.
Therefore, he had to disobey Mai Paopao's orders and continue to fight against the Japanese army.
His military talent is equivalent to the combination of Li Dabenshi, Li Yunlong and Zhou Weiguo.
Such a powerful man, when he retired, he didn't even have the rank of brigadier general.
to be honest.
If he is retired as a brigadier general, wouldn't that prove Mai Paopao's incompetence?
Looking at the fierce man in front of him, Cun Yunsheng felt delighted. With this guy in his hands, the development speed of the Sichuan Army would definitely be ten times or even a hundred times faster than it is now.
"Major Fettig, it must be hard to live with crocodiles in Mindanao, right?" Cun Yunsheng took the initiative to greet him.
"Hey, Colonel, if your superiors find out that you imprisoned an Allied officer like this, you know what the consequences will be." Major Fettig said with some dissatisfaction. Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng chuckled and then said.
"Major Fettig, is this how you treat your savior?"
Hearing this, Major Fettig was silent for a while, then said helplessly.
"Colonel, I don't need your help. I've been very happy recently and even contacted the guerrillas. I plan to lead them to fight against the Japanese."
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng smiled even more.
"Major Fettig, as far as I know, you don't have command authority. You are just an engineer officer. You are violating military law and will be punished."
As mentioned before, this guy, like Long Wenjian, likes to pretend to be an officer.
It would be easy for Cun Yunsheng to deal with such a person.
As expected, his words silenced Major Fettig.
Indeed, according to military law, he had no command authority whatsoever.
In fact, in the later period, Mai Paopao never recognized this guy's command authority.
"I'm doing this for Mindanao." After a long while, Major Fettig finally said this.
Cun Yunsheng still asked with a smile on his face.
"Major Fettig, how are you going to lead this guerrilla army? They are penniless and have nothing."
Hearing this, Major Fettig showed a hint of excitement on his face.
"I have thought about it. The car has no power, so I can use coconut trees to make alcohol for the car. I have even thought about the bullets."
When it comes to his profession, Major Fettig talks endlessly.
Cun Yunsheng listened to the other party very patiently.
Only Meng next to him curled his lips in annoyance.
Another Krupp.
Just bragging.
Those coconut trees can also make alcohol?
Are you bullying me for not having been to school?
Still rubbing the bullets with your hands?
Are you kidding me?
Is it really that easy to rub?
Why did they have to be chased and attacked by the Japanese army for so many years?
Also mortars and machine guns?
What a joke.
Are you God, kid?
Every time Major Fettig said something, Meng Fanle would complain in his heart.
I really think this guy is bullshitting.
In fact, if Cun Yunsheng didn’t know this guy’s glorious record, he would also think it was nonsense.
What seems like a difficult problem to others may not be a big deal to the other party.
Isn’t this nonsense?
"I didn't realize that Mr. Fetig is actually a military engineering talent. Why did he study civil engineering?" Cun Yunsheng started chatting with this guy about family matters.
You have to know that this major has four big pitfalls.
its not right!
This thing is still very popular now.
If he remembered correctly, this guy was initially supervising the construction of the airport.
Later it was proved that this guy really mastered civil engineering to the extreme.
Plant crops on the runway, and when the runway is needed, harvest the crops and it will immediately become a field runway.
Do you believe it?
Most people can't even think of this kind of train of thought.
Even the Japanese army didn't expect this.
"Good job." Major Fettig's words choked him.
Not long ago, the United States suffered an economic crisis and the unemployment rate soared sharply.
Infrastructure projects do require a large number of construction professionals.
Moreover, the US military has a tradition of giving preferential treatment to skilled soldiers.
So his civil engineering skills led him to become a reserve member of the Corps of Engineers.
"Let me go back. I still have to lead the guerrillas to resist the Japanese army." Major Fettig didn't want to argue with this guy about imprisoning him. Now he just wanted to go back and resist the Japanese army.
Who knows, Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said.
"Major Fettig, how many guerrillas can you lead by yourself? And I told you that you have no command authority, and all your actions are illegal."
Upon hearing this, Major Fettig's face looked a little unhappy.
"But I couldn't just watch those natives being massacred by the Japanese army."
Who knows, Cun Yunsheng said lightly.
"Major Fettig, right now, throughout Southeast Asia, it's not just the natives of Mindanao who are being massacred by the Japanese army. This is happening in many places. You shouldn't just focus on the tiny island of Mindanao."
“Instead, we should focus on the entire Southeast Asian theater.”
"But I'm from the Pacific theater." Major Fettig spread his hands helplessly.
"Oh? Then let General Stilwell send you back to Australia now? Building an airport there is very suitable for you." The two continued to pull each other to the limit.
"Okay, you win. What do you want to do?" After a long time, Major Fettig gave in and said helplessly.
"Don't worry, my request is very simple. In other words, my goal is the same as yours, which is to drive away those Japanese troops." Cun Yunsheng showed a smile on his face.
"My troops are short of weapons and equipment."
"Wait, you are from the Southeast Asia theater and are a subordinate of General Stilwell. He has a large amount of weapons and equipment at his disposal, so he should not be short of your equipment." Fettig is no fool.
After all, only a fool can do so many awesome things.
So it’s not that easy for Cun Yunsheng to fool him.
"That's right, but those consultants will strictly supervise the use of those equipment. You know, I also sympathize with those natives and hope they can get more weapons and equipment." Cun Yunsheng spread his hands and said helplessly.
"So I can only give some obsolete old weapons to those indigenous people. The anti-fascist struggle cannot rely on us alone. We must unite those indigenous people. This is their homeland, and they also need to stand up and resist together."
"It turns out that my plan was correct. Yangon has been recaptured under the resistance of the natives, but there are still a lot of places in the Southeast Asian war zone waiting to be rescued."
"And the indigenous people can't take back the occupied land with their fists, so they need a lot of weapons."
"I'm sorry, you know, General Stilwell is not an easy man to get along with. He will not give these weapons to the natives for nothing."
I have to say, after hearing this set of arguments, at least Young Master Fettig really believed it.
"That's right. Stilwell is not an easy person to get along with. He has a very bad temper and often insults officers. Many people have opinions about him." Major Fettig nodded and said in agreement.
"So you asked me to come here to make weapons for you?"
"That's right. I have equipment and workers here, but I lack a leader. If you can take over, there will be a steady supply of weapons. These weapons can then be given to the natives so that they also have weapons to fight against the Japanese army. I believe that with these weapons of yours, they will be able to drive away the Japanese army and regain their homes." Cun Yunsheng's words made him seem very upright.
At least at this moment, Major Fettig was fooled.
"Then can the first batch of weapons be shipped to Mindanao? The guerrillas there need these weapons." Major Fettig thought for a while and asked with his head tilted.
"No problem. In fact, our next mission is to attack Luzon Island. We cannot accomplish this kind of landing mission by ourselves. We also need the cooperation of the guerrillas."
"If they become stronger, it will be a good thing for us." Cun Yunsheng said with a smile on his face.
I felt a little unwell yesterday, and was also busy with other things, so I fell asleep while writing the last chapter. I woke up in the morning and quickly caught up. There are still three more chapters to go!
