Chapter 223 Why not try to change the emperor? (First update!)
"Is this little Japanese crazy about money?" Meng Fanle looked at the telegram in his hand and said to Cun Yunsheng in silence.
"Commander, are these little devils trying to make fun of us?"
"French Indochina Navy? Do they have the capability?"
It’s no wonder Meng Fanle complained like this, it’s really nonsense.
Who knew that Cun Yunsheng was staring at the map and thinking about the feasibility of the plan.
Although the plan is crazy, there is still hope of success if it is implemented well.
"Commander, don't you think this plan will succeed?" Meng Fan asked in confusion.
"Why do you think this plan won't work?"
Cun Yunsheng knew that Meng Fanle didn't know much about the Japanese Army's 4th Division, so it was normal for him to have this doubt.
If you knew his bizarre history, you would know that this is nothing.
"Is it because you think this does not fit the image of the Japanese army in your eyes?" Cun Yunsheng asked back.
"As I said before, there are also a small number of people in the Japanese army who are against the war, and the Fourth Division is such a group of people. If we can win them over to join the anti-war alliance, the next plan will go very smoothly."
You have to know that the 4th Division is a Type A division, and all kinds of training are absolutely first-class.
If they joined the anti-war alliance, it would deal a huge blow to the Japanese army.
"But this is too crazy." Meng Fanle hesitated for a moment and said.
"Before this, do you think anyone could rub bullets with their hands?" Cun Yunsheng chuckled.
A few days ago, Meng Fanle was still mocking Major Fettig for talking nonsense.
As a result, some people really made some bullets these days.
Not only that, he also led the workers to build a simple weapons production line.
Although the quality is not as good as the authentic American rifle.
But the performance is not inferior to the other.
The key issue is that it is cheap.
In addition, the aircraft manufacturing problems that originally restricted them began to be slowly resolved.
He even modified the Japanese fighter planes.
The Japanese machine guns on the fighter planes were replaced with Browning machine guns.
This operation shocked everyone.
Meng Fanle was so shocked that he was speechless.
Is there really such a powerful person?
Now that the other party told him that they could build a tank, he would not doubt it.
More importantly, the other party is now looking for scraps everywhere with their logistics personnel.
Yes, that is to look for scraps discarded on the battlefield.
Broken trucks, tanks, artillery, aircraft wreckage and the like.
According to the other party, these can all be recycled.
He even submitted a list to Cun Yunsheng, saying that if he could get these equipment, he was confident that he could build an arsenal belonging to the Sichuan Army.
Cun Yunsheng met all his requirements.
According to Major Fettig, after ten days, twenty Springfield rifles were being produced every day.
In a month, the output will reach hundreds of pieces.
If there were more equipment and the workers were more skilled, the output could be doubled.
This means that it won’t be long before the Sichuan Army will be able to produce equipment for a division in a month.
I have to say, this guy is really fierce.
Meng Fanle was even more completely convinced.
As expected, there is always a mountain higher than the other.
Now that Cun Yunsheng compared himself to Fetig, he really had nothing to say.
"So, you agree with this plan?" Meng Fanle looked at Cun Yunsheng and asked speculatively.
"Of course I agree, but some parts of this plan need to be modified." A cold light flashed in Cun Yunsheng's eyes.
"It just so happens that some things are too troublesome to convey by word of mouth, so it's better to meet the other party in person."
"Ah? Commander, you are going to the front line?" Meng Fan was shocked and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
"Yes, there are some things that Li Wula alone cannot solve. There are also some things that require us to meet in person to talk about." Cun Yunsheng had another plan in mind.
That is to use the help of the Japanese Fourth Division to eliminate those ungrateful people in Annan.
However, this plan can only be discussed in person, as writing it down in black and white could easily give someone something to hold against you.
"But……"
Meng Fanle wanted to say something, but Cun Yunsheng waved his hand away.
"Don't worry, I won't be stupid enough to go to the Japanese territory."
Seeing that Cun Yunsheng didn't look like he would give up, Meng Fanle stopped trying to persuade him.
Because he knew that Cun Yunsheng would not fight an unprepared battle.
…………
On the other side, the banquet in Bangkok was held as scheduled, and all the officers of the Siamese Navy came.
When the banquet was halfway through, the Japanese 4th Division suddenly appeared and surrounded the banquet venue.
This left a group of Siamese naval officers stunned.
What does it mean?
result!
Don't wait for them to react.
Da da da!
Gunshots ring out!
In an instant, the banquet scene turned into a massacre scene.
Subsequently, the Japanese 4th Division was ordered to take over the warships in the port.
For Osaka merchants who always attach great importance to their reputation, no warship will be allowed to have any problems.
Li Ula and others who had just arrived outside Bangkok were dazed as they watched Bangkok fall into chaos.
This little devil really keeps his promise.
Originally they thought there would be an ambush or something like that.
result!
does not exist at all!
The imagined battle did not occur.
Everything was just as Yuta Inoshita said. The Fourth Division in the city attached great importance to credibility, and they wanted to hand over Bangkok to them intact.
It was the first time that Li Ula and his companions encountered such a trustworthy Japanese army, and they were completely stunned.
If all the Japanese troops were like this, there would be no war.
"Commander, is this really not a trick?" Li Ula asked in a low voice, looking at Cun Yunsheng who had just arrived at the front line.
At present, except for a few people in the command center, no one else knows that Cun Yunsheng has arrived at the front line.
So in name Li Ula was still commanding the battle, but in reality the command was given to Cun Yunsheng.
"No." Cun Yunsheng looked at the sound of gunfire in the distance and shook his head.
Since Cun Yunsheng said so, the others had no choice but to wait patiently.
Not long after, Yuta Inoshita brought several Japanese soldiers to the designated location outside the city.
Since this is the first time they are working together, both sides are naturally wary of each other.
"Where is the balance?" Major Sato said in a hoarse voice, looking at the Sichuan Army officer in front of him.
"It's all here, more than 10 million US dollars." Cun Yunsheng pointed to the box next to him and said.
"The Fourth Division really values reputation, but I wonder how many warships it has in total?"
In response to Cun Yunsheng's doubts, Major Sato pondered for a moment and asked.
"who are you?"
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Colonel Cun Yunsheng of the Allied Task Force." Cun Yunsheng introduced calmly.
Hearing this, Major Sato's pupils shrank suddenly. He didn't expect the real owner to show up.
"I didn't expect you to be so courageous."
This is true!
Major Sato did not expect that the other party would take the initiative to come to the front line, which was indeed beyond his expectations.
"One hundred million yen is not a small number, so of course I have to come here in person to escort it. In addition, I am very interested in your other plan." Cun Yunsheng said lightly.
"Oh? Do you think the price is too high?" Major Sato was puzzled. Was the price really too high?
It shouldn’t be!
He had personally learned that the French Indochina Navy was definitely stronger than the Siamese Navy.
Two hundred million yen is definitely not expensive.
"The price is acceptable, but I have an additional condition." Two months in exchange for the French Indochina naval fleet is not too expensive.
After all, you can’t buy a warship even if you have money these days.
Moreover, with these warships, the Sichuan Army's future landing operations will be much easier.
"What conditions?" Major Sato did not expect that the other party would agree to his proposal, which made him overjoyed, but also confused about what the conditions were.
"Some guerrillas in Annam are very annoying. We hope to receive Annam without any harassment." Cun Yunsheng believed that smart people would definitely understand what he meant.
As expected, Major Sato immediately understood the meaning.
"You want us to take care of those guerrillas for you?"
The 4th Division does not engage in business without investment, but since it involves a business worth 200 million yen, there is absolutely no problem in eliminating some guerrillas.
"It's not impossible, but 200 million is definitely not enough. We have to at least pay more." Major Sato weighed the pros and cons and felt that he could give it a try, but he still wanted to see if he could raise the price.
As expected, when he heard this, Cun Yunsheng's mouth twitched.
I’m afraid he will say, these are all my close friends and relatives.
"Money is not a problem, but I have a suggestion. I wonder if Your Excellency the Major is interested in listening to it?" Hasn't it been just for today that I have been making money like crazy during this period?
Not to mention, he also had people constantly falsify the number of people, especially Long Wenjian's indigenous guerrillas, who falsified the numbers very seriously in order to withhold the military pay allocated by Stilwell.
Although 200 million yen is a considerable sum, it can still be obtained if he is given some time.
Especially the appearance of Fettig made him see that he had the potential to become a major arms dealer.
With so many clients in the third world waiting for him, is money a problem?
Do not!
not a problem!
"What proposal?" asked Major Sato in confusion.
"Major, have you heard of the Anti-War Alliance?" Cun Yunsheng chuckled and stated his true purpose.
"Yuta Inoshita's anti-war allies?" Major Sato said expressionlessly.
"You know, our 4th Division is the Class A Division of the Empire of Japan. We have a bright future."
"Is it that the Osaka Division only thinks about making money? Have they never considered anything else?" Cun Yunsheng was not panicked at all and continued to ask in a persuasive manner.
"Isn't it enough to make money? For us Osaka businessmen, money can solve everything." Major Sato said proudly.
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng complained in his heart, it really is the Osaka Division.
But what they said makes sense.
"That's right, but I think the Osaka Division is fully capable of replacing a better emperor. What do you think?" Cun Yunsheng's words made Major Sato's expression freeze.
He thought he was crazy enough.
I didn't expect there was someone crazier than him.
Change the emperor?
It’s not impossible!
As long as you can afford the price, it’s just a matter of changing the emperor.
They even killed the Prime Minister!
Changing the emperor is nothing.
Thinking of this, Major Sato felt more and more that the profits involved were huge.
For a moment, he felt that the 100 million yen was not worth it.
If only the emperor were changed!
By then, won’t they be able to print as much as they want?
Thinking of this, Major Sato's thoughts became more distracted, but he finally calmed down.
"Your proposal is good, but it's unrealistic. We just want to do business, not seek death. There is also a Guards Division in the base camp, so it won't be that easy to succeed."
"That makes sense. If I remember correctly, you seem to have anti-war allies in your country. If we can work together from inside and outside, there is still hope." Cun Yunsheng hinted crazily.
Why can't this guy understand?
Hearing this, Major Sato was stunned. He really didn't expect this.
"According to my understanding, your headquarters is currently drawing elite divisions from the Chinese battlefield and preparing to send them to India together with the newly formed troops. By then, your internal situation will be extremely empty." Cun Yun said again.
This was information sent by the Military Intelligence Bureau, otherwise he would not have known that the Japanese army had actually begun to withdraw elite divisions from the Chinese battlefield.
Considering that the Japanese army had won many battles in India and the resources there were extremely abundant.
After all, the British Empire had been managed carefully for hundreds of years, and more importantly, the natives of India were extremely obedient.
At most, they would put on a hunger strike.
After a comparison, if the Japanese army were not fools, they would definitely vigorously develop India.
Therefore, Cun Yunsheng judged that the Japanese army would definitely transfer its troops to India.
The Japanese mainland is now extremely empty.
If only we could incite the 4th Division to rebel and cooperate with the local resistance forces.
There's absolutely no problem in doing something.
As expected, when Major Sato heard the news, he was stunned.
As for asking the other party to express his position on the spot, that is impossible.
As long as you plant a thorn, you will succeed.
Looking at Sato's expression, Cun Yunsheng knew that this trip was definitely not a loss.
It’s definitely not far from instigating the 4th Division to rebel.
At that time, the 4th Division will definitely be the vanguard division attacking the base camp.
"Major, you can take the money. When will Bangkok be handed over to us?" Cun Yunsheng asked again without waiting for the other party to come back to his senses.
"We can do it now. Let your troops enter the city and pretend to attack. We will fight and retreat at the same time. This is the Thai army's defense map." Major Sato was still thinking about Cun Yunsheng's words. When he was interrupted by the other party, he had to hand the prepared defense map to the other party, and then asked someone to check the box. Looking at the green US dollars, his breathing quickened a lot.
After Sato and his men left, Cun Yunsheng immediately ordered Li Ula to lead his men to launch an attack.
The vanguard was still Zhao He's armored regiment.
According to the defense map, head straight for the Thai army's position.
Those Thai soldiers who were still asleep found themselves captured before they woke up.
"Mr. Prime Minister, the Sichuan Army has entered Bangkok." Major General Songkran, who was sleeping, heard his subordinate's words and looked at him blankly.
"what?"
The subordinates had no time to explain and fled further south carrying Major General Songkan.
"Damn it, get on the boat." The sound of gunfire outside the city brought Major General Songkan back to his senses, and he immediately shouted loudly.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, all the navy men are drunk and there is no one to steer the ship." The subordinates did not know that the navy officers had been dealt with and thought they were still drinking at the banquet.
Even if I wake up now, it's too late.
"Asshole..." Major General Songkan always felt that there was some conspiracy here, but he couldn't figure it out.
More importantly, the sound of gunfire in the distance was getting closer and closer. If we didn’t retreat, we would really be unable to leave.
At the same time, he was even more confused, why couldn't the Japanese 4th Division stop the attack of the Sichuan Army?
Aren’t they a Type A division?
You know, Major General Songkan placed all his hopes on the 4th Division.
result!
Bangkok was lost inexplicably.
Why did the Japanese Army's 4th Division collapse at the first blow?
And why is there a party tonight?
Everything seems so unreasonable.
But he couldn't tell what was so weird about it.
We can only wait until he survives first, and then investigate what the situation is.
There are two more chapters! It won’t be too late today!
