Chapter 34: Even allies depend on their strength!
"Have you ever heard a sentence?" Cun Yunsheng asked leisurely.
"What?" Meng looked at the other person in confusion.
"Those who mature early are usually late, and those who are proud are often impatient."
Cun Yunsheng's words made Meng Fan stunned for a while, but he was born in an intellectual family and had been reciting Confucian classics since he was a child.
Although the words seemed complicated, he actually understood their meaning very quickly.
"You mean Yu Xiaoqing is very proud, but he will also fail because of his pride?"
"But what does this have to do with your communication?"
Even though Meng Fanle was very smart, he didn't understand what Cun Yunsheng's purpose was at this moment.
"If he fails, won't his men be mine?"
"With Yu Xiaoqing's pride, those who can catch his eye are all elite soldiers. What are we most lacking now? Isn't it those technical soldiers?"
"Just relying on the defeated soldiers, I don't know when I can get them."
"Yu Xiaoqing is a good person." Cun Yunsheng's words made Meng Fan dumbfounded.
They haven't crossed the river yet?
Are you just thinking about other people's soldiers?
Are you still a human being?
"Commander, you are already thinking about other people's soldiers. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?" For a moment, Meng was annoyed and didn't know what to say.
"Hahaha, I hope you can chop me a few more times. That way, the technical troops that we're worried about will be completely solved, right?"
"Besides, I'm doing this for Yu Xiaoqing's sake. He doesn't understand at all. What he will face next will be a hellish situation." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said.
Hearing this, Meng Fanle was completely confused. It seemed that his own regiment commander knew the British army very well?
"Are you confused as to why I don't have any good feelings towards the British army?" Cun Yunsheng looked at Meng Fan's puzzled expression and asked with a smile.
"Yes." Meng Fanle nodded in acknowledgement.
He was indeed very curious about this.
"My Cun family has been a military family for generations. Our ancestor can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty. He followed Qianning King Mu Ying to Yunnan Province and was appointed as a Qianzong. The title was inherited from generation to generation and he was responsible for guarding the border."
"When it came to my grandfather's generation, he served as the garrison commander of Tengchong. At that time, the British army was invading Yunnan Province. My grandfather led the border soldiers and civilians to fight against the British army and keep the enemy at the border."
Following Cun Yunsheng's explanation, Meng Fanle suddenly realized that he had never expected that the ancestors of his own group leader had such a glorious history.
The previous dynasty started fighting against the British army, no wonder the other side had no good feelings towards the British army.
At the same time, I also understand why the other party knows the British army so well.
"So you think the British army is unreliable?" Meng Fanle asked cautiously.
"The British army is unreliable not because they invaded our borders, but because they never treated us equally from the beginning to the end."
Cun Yunsheng's words made Meng Fan silent for a while.
"In their eyes, we are not worthy of being their allies. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call us their vassal army."
"Will such an arrogant British army really be willing to welcome us into Burma?"
"No! They won't. They will only betray their allies in exchange for their own escape."
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little solemn, and Meng Fanle didn't know what to say.
"Not to mention that there is precedent of them betraying their allies." Cun Yunsheng's next words made Meng Fan even more stunned.
"When the German army blitzed France, the British army simply abandoned their French allies and a large amount of equipment in order to escape back."
"Later, they even asked the French army to sink their fleet, but the French army disagreed. So the British army directly attacked the port and sank the French warships."
"You think that even a close ally like the French army can be betrayed, so what about us?"
"Our relationship is not as close as that between the French and British armies."
"So the British army cannot be fully trusted, and their orders can even be treated as a piece of paper to wipe one's ass."
After a long while, Meng Fanle finally came to his senses. He didn't expect the British army to be so unreliable that they actually took the initiative to attack their allies. This was simply outrageous. "So, when you talked to Yu Xiaoqing, did you want to tell him that the British army is unreliable? To be careful? Don't let him get sold out?"
At this time, Meng Fanle finally understood why Cun Yunsheng wanted to keep Yu Xiaoqing and have a long speech with him.
"That's right, you're not stupid." Cun Yunsheng nodded and said with some regret.
"What a pity. I wonder if Yu Xiaoqing, that blockhead, listened to me. I guess he is still dreaming that he can replace his equipment with all American weapons after crossing the river."
"I guess he didn't listen. How could such a proud person listen to it?" Meng Fan shook his head, and then his eyes lit up.
"I understand. No wonder you want to keep in touch. Once there is a problem with Yu's regiment, his troops will surely flee. Then you can send people to gather the fleeing soldiers. In that case, those fleeing soldiers will belong to our regiment."
"Hahaha, very good, very good, this boy is teachable." Cun Yunsheng laughed and patted Meng Fanle's shoulder in praise.
"You are too sinister. You have schemed against Yu Xiaoqing to death. The Sichuan Army Corps that he worked so hard to build ended up becoming your wedding dress. If he knew that you schemed against him like this, he would probably want to kill you." Meng Fan was frightened, only then did he realize how sinister his own regiment commander was.
Cun Yunsheng didn't care at all about Meng Fanle's sarcasm.
I have made my words so clear, it's all Yu Xiaoqing's fault for not being able to listen.
In other words, no one in the entire expeditionary force was willing to listen at this moment.
In their eyes, Britain and the United States are their allies, so how could they betray them?
"Commander, Stationmaster Wang is back, and he brought back a lot of soldiers. We have the artillery you've been dreaming of."
"Also, all the letters you sent home have been replied to, and a lot of supplies have been delivered and are heading into the city. They will be here soon." Just as Cun Yunsheng was about to continue bragging, Xue Tian walked in, looked at him excitedly and said.
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng was so excited that he almost jumped up.
Got artillery?
The artillery company of his own regiment was stable.
Stationmaster Wang is really awesome.
There was a reply to my letter home, which was great news.
These days he has been waiting for replies from his uncles.
For a moment, Cun Yunsheng began to fantasize.
Will there be heavy artillery? Tanks?
bah bah bah!
As for Myanmar's infrastructure, it is almost non-existent, and coupled with jungle warfare, this thing is useless.
It would be better to have a few more small-caliber mortars, which are much more powerful than heavy weapons.
"Come on, follow me to pick up supplies and people." Cun Yunsheng didn't want to continue waiting at the regiment headquarters, so he dragged Meng Fanle out of the shelter.
On the other side, Yu Xiaoqing, who was sitting in the jeep, was thinking about Cun Yunsheng's words.
"Zhang Lixian, He Shuguang, do you think the British army is reliable?"
If it were someone else, Yu Xiaoqing would definitely not listen at all, but Cun Yunsheng also came from a military family, so he must have his reasons for saying that.
But he didn't understand why the other party said that. Wasn't the British army their ally?
If allies are not reliable, then what can be reliable?
His American equipment is still across the river.
"Commander, aren't the British Army our allies? How can they be unreliable? If they were unreliable, our superiors would not cross the river to help the British Army." Zhang Lixian's words made He Shuguang nod his head.
"That's right. The British army is our ally and will never betray us."
"That Cun Yunsheng is only good at talking. I suspect he is trying to disrupt the morale of the army on purpose. He deserves death. Commander, you don't have to take it to heart." He Shuguang said in a bad tone.
The main reason was that they went to recruit soldiers with great enthusiasm at first, but ended up not recruiting any soldiers, which was a huge shame, so naturally they wouldn't have any good words to say.
"I understand. Let's go to Wanding. There are hundreds of thousands of young and middle-aged people there. It will not be a problem to form a regiment." Seeing that his two confidants said so, Yu Xiaoqing simply ignored their words and started thinking about recruiting soldiers.
I want to say that it took me an hour to write and check it, and then it was already twelve o'clock, so I just sent it out so that I can sleep in tomorrow.
Also, please support me. Your support is the greatest motivation! I will also read your comments! Thank you everyone!
