Chapter 268: Changing the cage and replacing the bird? (First update!)

Among the three giants of the Guangxi clique, apart from Li Bai and the other two, the other one is Huang Shaohong.

Compared with the fame of Li Bai and the other, Huang Shaohong's fame is not very prominent.

Many people don't even know him.

At this time, Guangxi Province had been assigned to the Fourth War Zone.

The commander of the Fourth War Zone was Zhang Fakui.

Zhang Fakui's seniority is much greater than that of the other three.

Originally, the Fourth War Zone was not stationed in Guangxi Province.

Later, after suffering defeat on the front line, he moved the headquarters of the Fourth War Zone to the territory of the Guangxi Clique.

More importantly, the Fourth War Zone Headquarters was very close to Hanoi at that time.

After taking Hanoi, Cun Yunsheng was thinking about how to face the Fourth War Zone in the north.

However, he thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure out how to get along with her.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually contacted him on his own initiative.

Moreover, it was not just in the name of the Guangxi clique, but also in the name of Zhang Fakui, which was enough to show the other party's importance to the Sichuan Army.

For a moment, Cun Yunsheng looked at the telegram in a daze.

"Then shall we continue to sell weapons?" Meng Fanle asked doubtfully.

"Weapons..." Cun Yunsheng hesitated for a moment. His current military production capacity was still too low.

According to his idea, a monthly output of 100,000 china would be considered a small achievement.

The current monthly production of several thousand rifles is not at all presentable.

It is not impossible to sell weapons to the Guangxi clique. After all, he knows very well how strong the Guangxi Wolf Soldiers are.

Tony's helmet appeared on the battlefield, causing quite a bit of fear to the Japanese army.

This was the first time that the Gui army fought against the Japanese army, and also the first time they faced a three-dimensional attack from the Japanese army. Countless Gui army officers and soldiers fell on the way to the charge.

Despite this, the Gui army soldiers were not afraid. They launched wave after wave of attacks and would rather die than retreat. They held out for three days and three nights.

This fearless spirit greatly shocked the Japanese army.

In addition, the Guangxi Wolf Soldiers can be said to be the best mountain special forces.

Before this, the soldiers of Sauron had this title.

But they have basically disappeared.

There is a joke in later generations: "Guangxi people serve as soldiers in troubled times to defend their country, and work as farmers and cut sugarcane in prosperous times!"

'Cousin, is the sugarcane ripe this year?'

Therefore, Cun Yunsheng had no objection to selling weapons to the Gui army.

The key problem is that his current production capacity is insufficient.

These weapons had to be sold to Persia, causing even more chaos there.

Because chaos is the ladder.

If you follow a routine, you will miss out on many things.

Li Si had sent him several telegrams, detailing that the natives of the Middle East needed a large amount of weapons and ammunition.

During this period, Li Si taught these natives a good lesson.

It mainly talks about national independence, letting the indigenous people know that this land belongs to them, and they want to drive out the British and regain their own land.

I have to say that this set of things has indeed attracted a lot of natives.

Even many natives call Li Si a military advisor.

Li Si also took the opportunity to win a large number of arms orders.

As for payment method?

These poor natives couldn't offer much, but they just said they could provide land and so on.

Li Si had no interest in these deserts. He just remembered one thing that Cun Yunsheng had mentioned, which was oil.

So Li Si asked them to use oil to pay for these arms.

Now the natives were even happier and thought that Li Si was very fair in doing business.

You have to know that they have been oppressed by the British over the years. How can they do business fairly?
impossible!
So, when Li Si brought a large number of orders, Cun Yunsheng had a headache.

How could he have so many weapons and ammunition?

There was no choice but to urge Fettig to find a way to speed up.

"Li Si still has orders for five divisions, and I'm still worried." Cun Yunsheng sighed lightly.

Now the world's attention is focused on the Persian-Mediterranean region.

Otherwise, his arms business would definitely attract other people's attention.

"Then just refuse it directly?" Meng asked in annoyance.

"No, don't refuse for now. Let me think about it." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said.

Hearing this, Meng Fan hesitated for a moment, then plucked up the courage to speak.

"Commander, I have an idea, please take a look..."

Before he could finish his words, he was kicked by Cun Yunsheng.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. There's nothing to be afraid of, just the two of us."

Seeing this, Meng Fanle stopped hiding his feelings and spoke.

"Commander, are we like thieves now, doing everything in secret?"

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng frowned slightly. Although the words were a bit harsh, it was indeed true.

"Yes, he really acted like a thief. It made me very upset and very angry."

"There's no way. This large area of ​​the southwest is too strictly controlled by the mountain city. We can't hide anything we want to do from them." Meng Fanle said, spreading his hands.

"And then?" Cun Yunsheng naturally knew about this. Didn't you see that Long Yun, the local tyrant of Yunnan Province, is now trapped in Kunming and unable to get out?

If it weren't for the person he supported who had already risen to the position of deputy station chief of Kunming Station, some of his little actions would have been known to others long ago.

"I suggest we move directly to Hanoi." Meng Fanle said and pointed at the map.

"Hanoi has been run by the French, so the facilities are very complete, and there are many resources there."

Upon hearing this, Cun Yunsheng was enlightened. He opened his eyes wide and stared at the map.

Yes!

I was blinded by what I saw and forgot about the big piece of fat meat that was Hanoi.

More importantly, there is the Guangning coalfield and iron mines in northern Annan.

This means that this is the best steel-making base.

Moreover, the terrain here is mountainous, which makes it safer than northern Myanmar.

"Huh, you're right. Hanoi has richer resources than other regions, and it's very close to the Guangxi clique. If we can reach some cooperation, it may increase our development speed." Cun Yunsheng took a deep breath and said slowly.

This sentence made Meng Fan confused for a while. What does this have to do with the speed of development?
He simply felt that he had been making small moves here, which was not presentable and was done in secret, which made him very unhappy.

"What do we have the most now?" Cun Yunsheng asked with a smile, deliberately keeping the secret.

"People? Weapons?" Meng Fanle said without thinking.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng rolled his eyes.

"food."

Cun Yunsheng looked very disappointed with his friend. This guy was sometimes extremely smart and sometimes extremely stupid.

"What we lack the least right now is food. In wartime, food is hard currency. Aren't those talented people of ours acquired through the exchange of food and arms?"

"What do you mean?" Meng Fanle roughly guessed something and asked uncertainly.

"Siam's rice is a good thing. We can let the navy transport the rice to Haiphong Port, or even some ports in Nanning, and then use the rice to exchange for people." Cun Yunsheng returned to his previous calm expression, with a smile on his face.

"After the great victory in Taierzhuang, the Guangxi clique retreated into the Dabie Mountains and has been active in the Hubei, Henan and Anhui regions for a long time." "Wait, you mean, let them recruit people?" Meng Fanle's pupils suddenly shrank.

"That's right. I didn't figure it out before, but now I do. Look at the map."

"Pinghan Railway, Yuehan Railway, Hunan-Guangxi Railway, they are all on the same line. What do they mean?" Cun Yunsheng pointed at the map and said meaningfully.

"It means that the food can be transported from here to Nanning, then it can be transported by rail, and then all the way north to Henan Province, where we can drop off the food and take the hungry people to the Annan region."

"As long as we can attract a few million people, we will have our basic base." After Cun Yunsheng finished speaking, he took a deep breath.

After hearing Cun Yunsheng's words, Meng Fan looked at him in disbelief.

"Change the cage and replace the bird?"

"That's right. It's just a matter of changing the cage and replacing the bird. Didn't Admiral Stilwell and Admiral Wavell say that there were not enough troops? You said something right, that is, there is indeed no shortage of people here."

"Isn't it simple without anyone? There are so many young natives, recruit millions of them and send them over. As for weapons and equipment, just leave it to Stilwell to worry about it. He can't refuse the enthusiasm from his allies, right?" Cun Yunsheng smiled.

I have to say, when it comes to dirty tricks, Cun Yunsheng can do them with ease.

"Haven't you already sent over 200,000 natives?" Meng Fanle said speechlessly.

Isn’t giving away 200,000 enough?

For this reason, Long Wenjian sent telegrams to complain for a long time.

After training those natives with great difficulty, they were just sent away like that.

It really made him feel sad for a while.

"That was only sent from Yangon. Siam, Cambodia, and Annan have not been sent yet. After all, they are all allies of the United States. As allies, they naturally have to help the US military solve problems at any time."

"It's not too much for the three parties to pool one million and send it over, right?" Cun Yunsheng almost laughed out loud as he spoke.

He could imagine that once Stilwell found out, he would be furious and curse shit.

After all, the weapons and supplies for one million troops are enough to give him a headache.

Especially now that the canal is blocked, it will be very difficult to transport supplies.

"Commander, it has to be you." Meng Fanle couldn't help but praise him.

"Then what's our reason for moving to Hanoi?"

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng looked at the other party speechlessly.

"Forgot our current designation? The Allied Task Force. Originally, what Stilwell and I discussed was to take Annan and use it as a springboard to attack Luzon Island and threaten the Japanese supply lines heading south. Now it seems that we can implement it."

"What about Borneo?" Meng Fanle asked after a moment of hesitation.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng pondered for a while and then said.

"Duan Zhenguo performed well in the Khmer War. We will transfer him to Bangkok and let him be in charge of the war in Borneo. Our next task is to deepen our ties with the Guangxi Clique."

"Yes." Meng Fanle responded quickly.

Moving is not that easy, and many things need to be moved there in advance. Fortunately, all these things were left to Meng Fan.

Cun Yunsheng summoned Duan Zhenguo alone.

"Sir." As soon as they met, Duan Zhenguo stood at attention and saluted.

Cun Yunsheng waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Brother Duan, we are relatives after all."

The Cun family has been stationed in Tengchong for hundreds of years, so naturally all the famous families in Yunnan Province know about them.

If we really trace back the Duan family, we can find a connection with the Duan family of Dali.

After all, these days, if there are no celebrities among our ancestors, no descendants can survive to the present day.

"Sir, when working, you should focus on your job." Duan Zhenguo kept his attitude straight.

This made Cun Yunsheng very satisfied, but there was still a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.

"Now it's not about work, it's about chatting."

"Don't be so nervous. In the Cambodian War, your New 1st Regiment performed very well and achieved remarkable results. Some people who originally had complaints about you have now shut up."

Duan Zhenguo knew who Cun Yunsheng was referring to. They were just some veterans of the Sichuan Army Corps. They felt that they had just arrived and were already the head of the regiment, so they were naturally dissatisfied.

"So next, there is a more important task for you, and that is Bangkok."

After hearing what Cun Yunsheng said, Duan Zhenguo was completely stunned.

Leave Bangkok to him?
Does this weigh too much?
"Commander..." Duan Zhenguo wanted to say something but was held down by Cun Yunsheng.

"The Sichuan Army is directly under the Allied Command. According to General Stilwell's order, the Sichuan Army will prepare for the landing operation next. So I will lead the main force to Hanoi to strengthen the troops' training for the landing operation there."

what?
Are we going to fight on the island?

Land on that island?

Although Duan Zhenguo holds a high position, he is unaware of some core secrets.

However, he also knew that he had just arrived, and it was rare for him to obtain such a high status.

"Luzon Island." Cun Yunsheng was not planning to hide it from the other party. Since he had decided to hand over such an important place as Borneo to him, he naturally had to tell him what he should say.

"Ah?" Duan Zhenguo was stunned.

But I soon came to my senses.

"Cut off the supply of the Japanese army heading south?"

"Yes." Cun Yunsheng looked at Duan Zhenguo in surprise. He didn't expect him to react so quickly.

Most people would be confused when they hear this.

But Duan Zhenguo reacted immediately, which shows that his strategic vision is still strong, which is very rare.

"Is it too difficult?" Duan Zhenguo said after a moment of hesitation.

After all, island combat is completely different from land combat.

The navy and air force are needed to provide support.

But what the Sichuan Army lacks now is the navy and the air force.

As for the strength of the Air Force, Duan Zhenguo automatically ignored it.

Dozens of fighter jets may seem like a lot, but they can only bully the natives.

If we really encounter the main force of the Japanese army, we will not be able to defeat them at all.

navy?

Does this mean that the Allies are going to send out the navy?

It shouldn’t be!

If the Allied Navy could reach the South Pacific, would they still need to go to the islands to fight?
The only explanation is that the Sichuan Army used the Siamese Navy?

He had heard about some of Cun Yunsheng's outrageous actions.

The navy stationed in Bangkok nominally belonged to Siam, but in fact the officers in it were all from the Sichuan Army.

With just that small navy, can they land on Luzon Island?
If we encounter the main fleet of the Japanese army, we will be in trouble.

For a moment, Duan Zhenguo's eyes flashed with a trace of worry.

"It is definitely difficult, but the Japanese army is currently preparing for a decisive battle with the American army on Guadalcanal, so they have no time to take care of other things. This is the best opportunity. As long as we occupy Luzon Island, from then on, offense and defense will be easy." Cun Yunsheng chuckled.

"Besides, fighting a war is somewhat risky."

"How can there be so many favorable opportunities waiting for us?"

"What you need to do is to defend Bangkok and wait for an opportunity to send troops to capture Borneo. Remember, don't do it in the name of the Sichuan Army. That is the British territory and the British are already very dissatisfied with us."

Hearing this, Duan Zhenguo was stunned, and then he said with sudden enlightenment.

"In the name of Siam?"

"That's right. The troops recruited by Siam are being trained by the 4th Division of the Japanese Army. After completing the training, their combat effectiveness should not be too bad. In addition, the guerrillas in Malaysia have also been contacted. Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing." Cun Yunsheng said calmly.

　Everyone is welcome to continue leaving comments so that I can copy the plot, because thinking about the plot is too painful, woooo!
