Chapter 269 Compared to these, I am more interested in this! (Second update!)
In Hanoi, Cun Yunsheng, who had just arrived here, looked at the buildings from the French colonial period.

It has to be said that the Western powers have indeed not treated themselves badly in enjoying this.

"Is this the Governor's Mansion in Degu?" Looking at the Governor's Mansion in front of him, Cun Yunsheng said with a sigh.

It was completely different from what he had imagined. He thought it was so luxurious.

"When it comes to enjoyment, foreigners definitely can't compare to us." Meng Fanle said with a smile.

In response to this, Cun Yunsheng nodded in agreement.

"Commander, the north has sent you another telegram." Meng Fanle said softly when Cun Yunsheng entered the Governor's Mansion.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng frowned slightly. What does this Fourth War Zone want to do?
How many emails have been sent?

"Isn't it just that you didn't reply to their telegram? Is it that serious? Two telegrams in three days." Cun Yunsheng was speechless.

Hearing this, Meng rolled his eyes in annoyance and said, "Who told you not to reply to the telegram?"

"It seems that they are really anxious." Cun Yunsheng shook his head, and then analyzed the specific situation of the Fourth War Zone.

The current Fourth War Zone has been divided three times, and the troop strength has also increased accordingly. Previously, there was only Yu Hanmou's 12th Army.

Now it has become the Ninth Army, which is composed of the 90th Division, the remnants of the former Fourth Army, and Yu Hanmou's Twelfth Army, which is also the Guangdong Army, but has defected to the mountain city.

The former also underwent reorganization and became Xue Yue's direct troops.

The other is the 16th Army of the Guangxi Clique, with the famous Guangxi general Xia Wei as the commander-in-chief of the army.

In other words, the so-called Fourth War Zone is composed of three different forces.

But whether it was the Ninth Army or the Twelfth Army, many of the generals there were former subordinates of Zhang Fakui.

As for the 16th Army of the Guangxi Clique, many of its generals had a good relationship with Zhang Fakui.

Therefore, these people had no complaints about Zhang Fakui being appointed as the theater commander.

After listening to Cun Yunsheng's analysis, Meng Fan was surprised. How could the Fourth War Zone be so complicated?
So many forces are involved?
If a commander with insufficient prestige were in charge, it would definitely cause quite a stir.

"Commander, the second telegram was sent by the theater commander." Meng spread his hands in annoyance.

Previously, it was Xia Wei, a new famous general of the Guangxi clique, whose purpose was to purchase a batch of American equipment.

Cun Yunsheng was not surprised that the other party knew that he could buy American weapons.

After all, with a little inquiry, you would know that all the equipment on the black market was supplied by him.

What Cun Yunsheng didn't expect was that the second telegram was sent by Zhang Fakui, which was indeed beyond his expectations.

Cun Yunsheng naturally had respect for this theater commander.

Not to mention how impressive his own qualifications are, the generals under his command are even more terrifying.

"What exactly happened?" Cun Yunsheng did not answer the telegram, but asked back.

"It's nothing more than some casual chat, and he vaguely seems to want to purchase weapons and equipment." Meng Fanle said casually.

Since Stilwell stopped supplying weapons, the only one who can supply weapons and equipment is the Sichuan Army.

So when Zhang Fakui learned that the Sichuan Army had moved to Hanoi, he naturally had some ideas and wanted to purchase American equipment.

You should know that there are more than a hundred armies in Shancheng, but not all troops can be allocated American equipment. Only a few of the most loyal ones are eligible.

For a situation like the Fourth War Zone, there is basically no hope.

Therefore, American equipment became extremely popular on the black market.

But if you want to achieve scale, you will need a large amount of American equipment.

"Does he still have his own troops?" After saying this, Cun Yunsheng wished he could slap himself.

Although the direct troops were either deprived or rebelled.

But he definitely has personal bodyguards.

The purchase of weapons is definitely intended to strengthen the strength of the guard force.

After thinking about it, Cun Yunsheng felt that he shouldn't make the relationship with the other party too awkward.

After all, you still need to make more friends.

"How much do you need?" If it's too little, just have someone send it to him as a favor.

"Not many, just one battalion, a standard American military battalion." Meng Fanle added.

Normally, a battalion has only about 300 people, so they don’t have many weapons.

But a standard US military battalion has a lot of weapons, almost equivalent to a regiment.

"So many?" Cun Yunsheng was stunned, then thought about it and waved his hand and said.

"Have someone prepare a battalion and send it over."

Although it's a bit much, it's not unacceptable.

During this period, Gold Finger added the equipment of nearly three American-equipped regiments.

"I won't take the money. He doesn't have much wealth." Cun Yunsheng added.

This surprised Meng Fan for a while. He didn't expect that his own leader would be so generous.

Only Cun Yunsheng knew that the other party really had no money. If he really had money, his own troops would not have betrayed him.

"Also, tell the other party about your intention to cooperate and see what they really think."

"What about the Guangxi clique?" Meng Fanle was referring to Xia Wei's 16th Army Group.

"We don't have much American equipment at the moment, and we can only sell one regiment at most. But for French equipment, Japanese equipment, and British equipment, ask them if they are interested. There are still quite a few in the warehouse, right?" Cun Yunsheng didn't know what these people were thinking.

Just keep your eyes on American equipment!

Can't other equipment be used?

Moreover, can you afford American equipment?
The amount of ammunition consumed is truly terrifying.

Doesn't he want to expand his army?

Is there no one here?

Do not!
He is not short of people!
But the ammunition consumption is really terrible.

That is to say, the Golden Finger and the military factory can barely support the consumption.

If there were any more, I really wouldn’t be able to hold on.

He now regrets blocking the canal so early, preventing supplies from getting through.

Otherwise, he could have extorted some weapons from Stilwell.

Now we can only hope that the production capacity of military factories will increase before considering expansion.

"Ask the other party if they are interested in the complete set of equipment of the Japanese Army's 4th Division. However, they need to find a way to solve the subsequent ammunition and other issues themselves. This point must be made clear." Cun Yunsheng continued.

"Ah? Will they agree?" Meng Fanle was referring to the people from the Fourth Division.

"They will definitely agree. As long as the price is right, they can even sell the emperor." Cun Yunsheng was not worried at all that the other party would not agree.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the price is right, even parents can sell it, and the emperor is nothing.

Hearing this, Meng Fan was speechless for a while. Isn't this too exaggerated?
But looking at Cun Yunsheng's confident look, it should be true.

"However, you can promise the other party that once we seize Japanese equipment, we can sell it to them first." Cun Yunsheng thought about it and felt that there would be many battles with the Japanese army in the future, so the spoils of war should not be small either.

"I understand." Meng Fan nodded.

On the other side, Zhang Fakui, commander of the Fourth War Zone in Nanning, couldn't help but smile when he saw the telegram sent by the Sichuan Army.

"It's quite generous. They gave away an entire regiment's worth of equipment just like that."

In his eyes, a standard battalion of the US Army was just a regiment's worth of equipment. He was prepared to go bankrupt, after all, the prices of US weapons on the black market were sky-high.

He didn't rely on the blood of his soldiers, and the little wealth he had accumulated was not enough to buy a regiment of American equipment.

result?

He didn't expect that the other party would directly send him a regiment of American weapons and equipment, which made him feel a little warm inside.

Regardless, it is indeed a great gift.

But the content of the following telegram made him frown.

Hope they can help transport people!

Replace people with rice.

Suddenly, he remembered a rumor that there were a lot more hungry people in Kunming during this period.

But the amazing thing is that Kunming, which was short of food, was not only able to feed so many soldiers and civilians, but also had enough food to supply the hungry people.

Originally he was very curious, how could Long Yun be so capable?

Or were those people in the mountain city so kind that they got a large amount of food?
You know, all the tax-collecting areas have been lost, and life in the mountain city is not easy.

Food has become a scarce resource.

Allocate large amounts of food to save the starving people?

Unless the sow can climb a tree.

Now when I saw the Sichuan Army’s proposal to exchange food for the hungry people, I instantly understood.

Those people in Kunming must have colluded with the Sichuan Army.

But he was very curious about what it meant that the Sichuan Army Corps moved its headquarters to Hanoi.
Did he have a falling out with those guys in Kunming?
its not right!
Never heard of it!
The black market there continues to sell rice and weapons as normal.

Looking at the telegram, Zhang Fakui fell into deep thought for a moment.

He was weighing the pros and cons, not knowing whether he should cooperate.

To be honest, all he has left now is his qualifications.

The regular troops betrayed them, some were deprived of their rights, and only the guards at the headquarters were considered their own people.

In other words, he now has nothing left except his qualifications. The manpower required to cooperate in transporting the starving people is beyond his ability to obtain.

However, he admired Cun Yunsheng's kindness.

The fact that he could have such a bodhisattva heart to help the hungry people in the Central Plains shows that he is not an unforgivable evil person.

There are very few people who can consider this nowadays.

Why did the number of puppet troops increase dramatically? It was because the Japanese army bribed the hungry people with food, which led to a sharp increase in the number of puppet troops.

"I have the will but not the ability." Zhang Fakui murmured.

At this time, Xia Wei from the 16th Army Group came in, looked at Zhang Fakui, stood at attention and saluted.

"Commander Zhang..."

"Xu Cang, what's the matter?" The other person was older than him and had far less experience, but Zhang Fakui had a good relationship with the Guangxi clique, so he didn't put on airs.

There's actually no point in putting on airs.

"Commander Zhang, what does it mean that the Sichuan Army suddenly entered Hanoi?" Xia Wei asked bluntly.

Hearing this, Zhang Fakui was stunned and looked at the other party in confusion.

"I heard that the Sichuan Army Corps donated an American-equipped regiment to Commander Zhang." Xia Wei pointed out directly.

In an instant, Zhang Fakui's face looked unhappy.

My headquarters is like a sieve.

But he could also understand that this was the territory of the Guangxi clique, and it was not surprising that the other party knew all this clearly.

Then, Zhang Fakui took a deep breath, looked at Xia Wei and said calmly.

"Yes."

"It seems that Commander Zhang has a good relationship with the Sichuan Army. I wonder what the Sichuan Army means." Xia Wei must find out what the Sichuan Army's entry into Hanoi means.

Previously, the Sichuan Army's headquarters was in Bangkok, so he did not pay much attention to it. Instead, he sent people to contact the other side, hoping to purchase a batch of weapons to strengthen the strength of the Guangxi clique.

He was a general left behind by the Guangxi clique, whose purpose was to defend Guangxi Province and preserve its strength.

But as the Japanese army got closer, he felt more and more that he was not strong enough, but the black market prices were too high. Later, by chance, he learned that the black market weapons supplier was the Sichuan Army, so he thought of sending someone to contact the Sichuan Army.

As a result, the Sichuan Army's headquarters moved to Hanoi not long after, and the people who remained in the theater headquarters reported that the Sichuan Army had sent a regiment of American equipment to Zhang Fakui.

This time Xia Wei could no longer sit still.

So he went straight to the theater headquarters to find out clearly.

"The Sichuan Army Corps is not directly under my command, so how would I know what they really mean? You can ask the Allied Command about this question. I believe the Americans will give you a reasonable explanation." Zhang Fakui said in a bad tone.

Hearing this, Xia Wei was stunned. Should I go ask the Americans?

The Americans won't pay any attention to him.

Xia Wei was speechless for a moment, then he took a deep breath and was about to speak when he saw Zhang Fakui handing him a telegram.

"See for yourself, it's not as dirty as you think."

He saw through the other party's little thoughts at a glance, so he didn't bother to talk nonsense and just handed the telegram to him.

With a puzzled expression, Xia Wei took the telegram, quickly read it, and found that it was completely different from what he had imagined.

He thought that the Sichuan Army was going to join forces with Zhang Fakui to attack Guangxi Province and seize the Guangxi clique's territory.

The results of it?
People just proposed to use rice to help the hungry people and hoped that Zhang Fakui could provide convenience.

Thinking of this, Xia Wei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

There is no way. The pressure of staying in the Guangxi clique is really great.

"Don't be suspicious. People don't even look down on your territory." Zhang Fakui said speechlessly.

Perhaps knowing that he had misunderstood the Sichuan Army, Xia Wei showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and then said.

"Captain Zhang, I wonder if this cooperation can include our Gui army?"

Hearing this, Zhang Fakui was stunned, but after a little thought he understood what was going on.

Among these local armies, although the Guangxi clique was very strong, a series of wars caused its strength to decline seriously.

Although Li Bai and the other man were constantly mediating in Shancheng, American weapons and equipment were basically supplied to the main troops first.

The Gui army only had very little equipment.

In addition, Xia Wei has to stay in Guangxi Province, so it is normal for him to want to strengthen his strength.

"This line is too long. You can't solve it alone." Zhang Fakui glanced at Xia Wei and shook his head.

"Unless Li Bai and the other two join in, otherwise, it will just be a small fight."

Hearing this, Xia Wei was stunned and couldn't help but take a breath.

Do all these big guys speak so nicely?
Are they always just small fights?
But if we want to bring Li Bai and the other two in, he can't do it alone.

"I will write a letter to Li Bai and the other person, elaborating on the pros and cons of this matter. You just need to sign your name on it." Zhang Fakui saw through the other party's little thoughts.

"Compared to this matter, I am more interested in the Sichuan Army's plan to capture the island."
