Chapter 281 Have you heard of Lan Fang? (First update!)

If these words hadn't come from Meng Fanle's mouth, he would never believe it even if he was beaten to death.

The local chickens actually sent out their army to launch a sneak attack on the Soviet army?
Where does he get the courage from?
The confidence gained from the last attack on the Baku oil fields?
It is not impossible.

But the last attack was carried out with the help of the German army.

Do not!
He even suspected that he had help from Britain and the United States, otherwise how could he have been so accurate?

But now Turkey has actually dispatched its army, which is incomprehensible.

Is this really courage?
Or is there something serious going on?
"What are the Turkish army thinking? Can they really defeat the Soviet army?" Cun Xingxing couldn't help but ask in confusion.

He didn't know much about these powers.

So I don’t know how strong the Turkish army is.

However, in his opinion, since the other party dared to attack the Soviet army.

It shows that they are confident.

Who knows, Cun Yunsheng said speechlessly.

"He can win a fight."

"What kind of combat effectiveness do these country chickens have? They only have some German equipment. Do they really think they can conquer the world with German equipment?"

"The Soviet army is not as weak as imagined. If it were so weak, could it have beaten the Japanese army so hard in the Battle of Nomonhan that they dared not move north?"

"So don't think the Soviets are incompetent just because the Germans beat them to a pulp."

"The arrogant Turkish army will definitely suffer a loss."

The Soviet army just likes to fight tough battles, but as time goes by, their combat effectiveness will increase dramatically.

Now the Soviet Army's combat effectiveness is rising. By next year, with the support of the steel torrent, the Soviet Army will be the most powerful force.

Therefore, Cun Yunsheng was not optimistic about the Turkish army's sneak attack on the Soviet army.

"Ah? Should we remind the Turkish army?" Cun Xingxing didn't understand any of these strategies, but he subconsciously thought that the Turkish army was going to suffer a loss, so didn't they have to remind them?

Hearing this, Meng Fan looked at the other party in surprise, and then looked at his own boss.

"Fourth Uncle, the Soviet Army is our ally." Cun Yunsheng said speechlessly.

"Ah? You look like you're worried about the Turkish army? I thought the Turkish army had something to do with you." Cun Xingxing asked puzzledly.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but sigh. His fourth uncle still needed some good training.

I'm afraid that in recent years, we have been focusing on training troops and lack understanding of strategy.

But it’s not a big problem. Once we become familiar with the specific operations of the Sichuan Army, we can slowly guide the other side.

Thinking of this, Cun Yunsheng decided to get his fourth uncle away first.

"Fanle, send someone to send my fourth uncle to the base of the New Second Regiment." Cun Yunsheng signaled Meng Fanle to send the man away first.

"Uncle, go get familiar with the New Second Regiment first. Once everything is settled, I will discuss this with you in detail."

Cun Xingxing nodded and left first. Only Meng Fan asked in confusion.

"Sir, why don't you tell your fourth uncle the details?"

"The fewer people who know about this, the better. Besides, even if my fourth uncle finds out, what can he do?" Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said.

"The Turkish army will definitely suffer a great loss next, and the scale of the war will surely expand again."

Meng Fanle gave his own opinion.

"Who do you think the Turkish army will join? Will it be the German army?"

Since we have already started fighting the Soviet Army, the natural thing to do is to join the German Army. Who else can we join?

Who knows, Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said.

"No, based on my understanding of the Turkish army, they will definitely not join anyone."

"Ah?" Now it was Meng Fan's turn to be shocked. He actually challenged the entire Soviet army by himself?
Isn't this crazy?

Does the Turkish army have this capability?
Perhaps seeing Meng Fanle's confusion, Cun Yunsheng explained patiently.

"The Turkish army's geographical location is very unique. Originally, they could have stayed out of this war, but for some reason, they chose to join the war now."

"From the information we know so far, the Turkish army has not announced that it will join either side, which shows that they still want to be a fence-sitter."

Hearing this, Meng Annoyed interrupted.

"Sir, according to you, is there any British or American influence behind this matter?"

"It cannot be ruled out. After all, the oil fields in Persia were leaked by the Germans. It is normal for the Turkish army to choose to send troops because it could not resist the temptation. After all, the oil fields are too large. If it were me, I might not be able to hold back." Cun Yunsheng said with his hands spread out.

"I have one suspicion. The Soviet army's rash advance southward must have touched the bottom line of Britain and the United States. The reason why they didn't fall out was because of the German army. Otherwise, I'm afraid the two sides would have fallen out."

Hearing this, Meng Fanle couldn't help but take a deep breath. Isn't the water here too deep?
He obviously hates the other person to the core, but he still smiles on the surface.

If Cun Yunsheng knew what Meng Fanle was thinking, he would definitely sneer at him.

What is this?
Isn't it normal to stab someone in the back?
"What about us?" Meng Fanle asked curiously.

"Didn't I tell you that we can't do anything but watch..." Cun Yunsheng stopped talking halfway.

"Sir..."

"Wait a minute, it's not that we can't do anything." Cun Yunsheng touched his chin. Although he would not gain any benefit from the conflict between Su and Tu.

But there are many things he can do.

"Is Li Si still in the Canaan area?" Cun Yunsheng asked again.

"Yes, we are training the natives and giving them lessons," Meng Fanle explained.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng nodded and then said.

"Let Li Si stir up some trouble. It'd be best if the noise is big enough to cause chaos in the entire Middle East."

"Ah? What does this have to do with the war between the Soviet Union and Turkey?" Meng Fanle's confusion deepened. He had no idea what this meant.

"Chaos is the ladder, and I hope the canal will be blocked for a few more months." Cun Yunsheng said meaningfully.

Hearing this, Meng Fanle seemed to understand, but he knew that since Cun Yunsheng said so, he must have his reasons.

"Yes, I understand." Meng Fanle had just responded when someone knocked on the door and walked in.

"Sir, Mr. Hou Xifan, the representative of the Nanyang Overseas Chinese Mechanics, is here. He wants to meet with you."

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng was stunned. Why was this guy looking for him?
However, considering the other party's identity and the help he had provided to the Sichuan Army during this period, he hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Not long after, Hou Xifan walked in, saw Cun Yunsheng, and said respectfully.

"General Cun, sorry to bother you."

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng was stunned, and then signaled the other party not to do so.

"Mr. Hou, you are too polite. I am just a small brigadier general and don't deserve the title of general." To be honest, he was not used to this title.

In fact, many times, he was more accustomed to Meng Fanle and others calling him the captain.

"He deserves it. If it weren't for General Cun, we Nanqiao mechanics would probably have starved to death." Hou Xifan didn't think so, but said sincerely.

Seeing the other party looking so serious, Cun Yunsheng didn't know what to say.

Instead, he looked at the other person curiously and asked.

"Mr. Hou, is there something urgent?"

Hearing this, Hou Xifan showed a hint of hesitation on his face, and then said.

"General Cun, I wonder where the task force's next attack direction will be?"

During this period, in addition to helping the Sichuan Army recruit more skilled workers, we also contacted the guerrillas in Malaysia.

Preliminary results have been achieved. The Malaysian guerrillas have also stated that if the Sichuan Army goes south to Borneo, they will definitely provide support.

The results of it?
A lot of time has passed, but there is still no movement.

This made Hou Xifan a little anxious.

Is the Sichuan Army not planning to move south?
Especially when he learned that the Sichuan Army's headquarters had moved to Hanoi, he became even more uneasy, so he came to Hanoi in person, with the purpose of understanding the Sichuan Army's next combat plan.

"Mr. Hou, this is the secret of our Sichuan Army." Before Cun Yunsheng finished speaking, Meng Fanle said in a somewhat unfriendly tone.

Normally, only a few people would know this top secret.

The other party asked this right at the beginning, which made him wonder what the purpose was.

Hou Xifan immediately realized that this kind of secret must not be told to him.

"I'm sorry for being rude." Hou Xifan said apologetically.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng waved his hands. He knew that the other party really didn't know.

Moreover, during this period, the other party really tried their best to recruit the necessary technical talents for the Sichuan Army.

If it weren't for these Nanyang Overseas Chinese mechanics, his military factory might not have been completed so quickly.

Therefore, regardless of emotion or reason, since the other party asked this question, I must give a certain answer.

But before that, he needed to figure out what the other party's purpose was in asking this question.

"Mr. Hou, what is your purpose? Did the Japanese send people to force you? Or?"

"No, no..." Hou Xifan also knew that he had done something wrong, so he quickly shook his head and explained.

"It's the Chinese families in Malaysia. They are eager for the Sichuan Army to move south. They don't want to be persecuted by the Japanese army anymore. During this period, the Japanese army's means of suppression have become more cruel, and they have plundered many resources."

"The Malaysian guerrillas said that if the Sichuan Army was willing to go south to Borneo, they would definitely provide assistance."

Seeing Hou Xifan's expression, Cun Yunsheng immediately guessed that the Chinese in Malaysia must not have had a good time during this period.

After thinking for a while, Cun Yunsheng spoke.

"According to General Stilwell's order, the next combat mission of the Sichuan Army Corps is to land on the island."

It was natural to raise a big banner at this time. Cun Yunsheng was already accustomed to this kind of thing, so he spoke without any hesitation.

"Island landing combat?" Hou Xifan was stunned, obviously not understanding what this meant.

"Yes. In the first stage, we will first take Hainan Island and use it as a base and springboard to attack Luzon Island and cut off the Japanese army's route to the south." Cun Yunsheng said.

"As long as this mission is completed, the Japanese army's logistical supply will be severely damaged. By then, the Japanese army will no longer be a match for the US army in the Pacific battlefield."

"What about Malaysia?" Hou Xifan immediately became anxious.

After all, as a representative of the Chinese families in Malaysia, he needs to consider those Chinese families in Malaysia.

"The offensive in Borneo will be temporarily stopped until we occupy Luzon Island and cut off the Japanese supply lines. Then we may consider attacking Borneo." Cun Yunsheng explained.

"But we Chinese in Malaysia have made great sacrifices for our motherland. General Cun, please help us because we are a family."

"During this period, the Japanese army's oppression on us has become increasingly severe, and they have demanded more resources, such as rice, timber, rubber, etc..." Hou Xifan pleaded again.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng sighed and said helplessly.

"Mr. Hou, it's not that I don't want to help you, but the British army once issued an order not to allow us to continue southward. They would rather give the colony to the Japanese army than allow us to continue southward."

This is really not false.

Because Borneo was a colony of the British Empire, they would rather give it to the Japanese army than allow the Sichuan Army to continue moving south.

After all, as long as they win the war, they can take back everything they lost.

But if the Sichuan Army continues to move south, the British Empire will be able to control whatever happens.

Hearing this, Hou Xifan was stunned for a moment.

The British are not allowed to go south?
How can this be.

It was obvious that Hou Xifan didn't believe it.

At this time, Meng Fanle stood up and said.

"Mr. Hou, this is true. We encountered this in Burma. At that time, we wanted to go south to Mandalay, but the British army said we were not allowed to go south. If the development of the war situation had not been so shocking, I am afraid we would have returned home by now."

"General Stilwell had a big argument with the British because of this. They said they would rather let the Japanese occupy these places than allow us to move south."

"Why is this happening?" Hou Xi felt as if his worldview was about to collapse. The British army was actually like this.

"That's because they are afraid that we will expand our influence." Cun Yunsheng spread his hands.

It has to be said that although the British are not very good at fighting, they are indeed very sharp in their strategic vision.

If the Sichuan Army had really moved south, and the war had been won, it would have been basically a joke for the British Empire to want to take back these colonies.

After hearing this, Hou Xifan fell completely silent. The hope he had before coming here was completely shattered at this moment.

The Sichuan Army was unwilling to offend the British Empire for them.

"General Cun, is there no hope?" Hou Xifan asked in a hoarse voice after a long time.

After hearing this and looking at Hou Xifan's disappointed expression, and considering that the Chinese in Malaysia had indeed provided a lot of help, Cun Yunsheng finally spoke after pondering for a while.

“It’s not completely hopeless.”

"Ah? You say." Hou Xifan's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked excitedly.

"Have you heard of Lan Fang?" Cun Yunsheng's voice was very soft, but it was no less than a thunderclap, which shocked Hou Xifan into a trance.

As a Chinese in Malaysia, how could he not know Lan Fang?

This small country, founded by overseas Chinese, was completely destroyed decades ago.

"Is there any connection between the two?" Hou Xifan asked in a trance.

"Mr. Hou, what do you think of the Zheng Dynasty in Bangkok?" Cun Yunsheng looked at the other party and said meaningfully.
