Chapter 343 As long as you propose, the conditions are up to you!
"These guys in Shancheng are really interesting. They want to be both a leader and a traitor?" At the headquarters of the Fourth War Zone, Zhang Fakui sneered as he looked at the telegram in his hand.
"Sir, how should I reply?" The chief of staff looked curious.
"Don't reply yet. Forward this telegram to the Sichuan Army Corps and see what they think." Zhang Fakui thought about it and decided to throw this difficult problem to Cun Yunsheng and let him solve it.
"Yes."
……
"This old man is indeed interesting. He wants weapons but is too embarrassed to say it out loud. He wants to test us first? It would be better for him to be direct and straightforward." Cun Yunsheng looked at the telegram and couldn't help laughing.
"I want to promote you, but I'm afraid that you'll be promoted too quickly, and then I won't know what promotion to get." After reading the telegram handed over by Cun Yunsheng, Lin Yi laughed.
"It's almost the same idea. He is scheming, but his mind is not broad enough. Of course, he can be considered a heroic figure." Cun Yunsheng commented casually.
In response, Lin Yi did not comment, but was thinking about how to reply to the telegram.
"Sir, what position are you going to take?" Lin Yi asked curiously.
"Don't forget that we are now directly under the Allied Command." Cun Yunsheng did not answer, but explained with a smile.
"As for the lack of weapons and equipment, our current production capacity is still acceptable, so we can sell some of them appropriately."
"It's up to you to decide how much."
"Well, I think there's no need to give us some too advanced weapons. We spent quite a bit on those weapons. I'm unwilling to just give them to them. Besides, if we give them to them, they might just run over to the Japanese." Lin Yi said. He knew those people's character too well.
"What you said is indeed right. We can't provide the weapons mentioned in the telegram, but we can still provide some support with some artillery." Cun Yunsheng said after thinking for a while.
His artillery supply is now somewhat saturated, and in the South Seas area, artillery is not very useful.
Especially large-caliber artillery, it is too troublesome to transport.
It would be better to have more planes, warships, etc.
These are the key points to taking down the Japanese defenses.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that heavy artillery is completely useless.
It means that the quantity does not need to be too large.
The surplus heavy artillery can be sold to Shancheng.
"That's what I meant. Giving you some artillery is good enough, but you also want our planes. What are you thinking about?" Lin Yi sneered.
Just then, the adjutant came in and reported.
"Sir, that foreign devil is here again."
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng was not surprised at all.
"He's finally here. I was wondering when he would come."
When he saw William again, Cun Yunsheng's face was still full of smiles.
"Mr. William, do you believe what I said?"
He still remembered that he had told the other party that the super weapons developed by the United States were much faster than theirs.
The other party had a look of doubt on his face, but now that he came again, it meant that he must have believed it.
As expected, William's attitude this time was very good.
"Mr. Cun, I want to know how far the US military has progressed in researching this super weapon?"
"Of course, we are willing to pay any price. As long as you ask, we will definitely meet it."
Ever since he learned that the super weapon was real, he couldn't sit still.
Especially after learning about the performance of the super weapon, I came directly here.
"Are you willing to pay any price?" Cun Yunsheng was stunned. He didn't expect that the German army would be willing to pay such a high price. He really didn't expect it.
"Yes, I'm willing to pay any price as long as you ask." William said solemnly.
The performance of the super weapon is really terrifying.
Although that is only the theoretical power, no one can guarantee if it is really the case.
How should they face it then?
Therefore, he must find out what stage the super weapon has reached.
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng fell into deep thought, wondering what else to change.
He probably wouldn't be able to develop the heavy industry technologies in a short time.
Unless the German army can support a group of engineers.
This gave him an idea.
But will the German army agree?
"Are you sure any price is acceptable?" Cun Yunsheng was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"Yes, we can pay any price, and even send one or two divisions to help you fight." William said immediately with anger.
What the hell!
What the hell!
What the hell!
Cun Yunsheng was stunned for a moment. He did believe in the other party's sincerity, but he didn't expect that this sincerity was too great?
One or two divisions coming to fight?
In a one-on-one situation, could those Japanese troops be a match for the German army?
Not necessarily?
After all, at this time, the German army's military quality was definitely stronger than that of the enemy.
Gudong!
Cun Yunsheng couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
or?
Should I agree to his request?
One or two divisions, not to mention a sweep.
At least they can defeat the Japanese and Southern Army and are invincible?
"Can you send two divisions?" Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but ask.
If he remembered correctly, the German army itself was short of manpower?
Can we send two more divisions?
Isn’t this sincerity too much?
"Yes, the North African Corps has now entered Port Said and is in the final battle. Once the Allied forces in the port are completely wiped out, we will be able to transfer two divisions, one grenadier division and one armored division, which will definitely help you sweep away the Japanese army."
"The prerequisite is that you need to use the navy to transport them here." William explained.
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng sneered.
What kind of sincerity is this?
What can his navy do?
Transporting people?
I'm afraid that if the Allies knew the truth, something bad would happen.
"Of course, this may be a little difficult, but we can provide certain military advisers to help you train your troops. I believe you should know that the German-equipped division was once trained by us." William also felt that this condition was not very reliable, so he proposed another condition.
"But to the outside world, we can only say that they came to fight voluntarily and they do not represent our position."
It doesn’t matter as long as we can provide some military advice.
I'm afraid the Japanese army will be in big trouble.
But correspondingly, the risks he needs to take are also great.
"How many military advisers can be sent?" Cun Yunsheng asked again.
He wanted to set up a military academy to train military officers.
But he didn't have that kind of systematic officers.
Although some of them have rich combat experience, they are lacking in military theory.
Moreover, the military theories of middle and low-level officers are even less.
But if we get help from the German army, we can improve a lot.
More importantly, the German army had no interests in the Far East.
He could also ask Stilwell for help, but whether Stilwell would agree is another matter.
But there will definitely be other additional conditions and so on.
There will be a lot of trouble then.
"No less than one regiment." William thought for a moment and said. "Not enough, at least two regiments, one for military advisors and the other for engineers." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said.
He has always been worried that there are not enough engineers and workers.
Now is a good way to solve the problem.
"No problem." William responded after a moment of silence.
"Aren't you afraid of the Japanese army's overreaction? You are still allies?" Cun Yunsheng asked with a smile.
"In fact, our purpose of forming an alliance with them is just to contain the Russians in the north, but now we find that forming an alliance with them does not bring us much benefit." William said seriously.
"Of course, if you can replace the Japanese army and capture the entire Nanyang, our friendship can be deepened."
Cun Yunsheng felt a chill on his neck instantly. This bastard wanted to harm him.
Cun Yunsheng looked at him with cold eyes.
This guy has no good intentions.
"Hmph, the Japanese army sent a fleet to help you deal with the Royal Navy. Is this how you repay them?" Cun Yunsheng said sarcastically.
"There are no eternal allies in the world, only eternal interests. Anyone who can bring us benefits is a friend. A few years ago, we were allies with the Soviet army, but now we are enemies, aren't we?" William saw it very clearly and looked casual.
"Insightful." Talking to smart people is never tiring, at least that's what Cun Yunsheng thinks.
"Okay, what you said is too far-fetched. I can only say that America's super weapon research speed is much faster than yours. As for why it is fast, you should know it in your hearts. The scientists who were forced to leave are now in the hands of America. They carry hatred towards you, so their research efficiency is naturally very fast." Cun Yunsheng's words left William speechless.
"Do you know the exact location?" William asked after taking a deep breath.
"I know." Cun Yunsheng said with a smile on his face.
"But the defense is very tight. How do you plan to destroy the opponent's base?"
"Air Force? Do you have fighter planes with such a long range?"
"Send agents? How many?"
"A regiment?"
"I'm afraid it's of no use."
Cun Yunsheng's series of blows kept William silent for a long time.
However, seeing Cun Yunsheng's expression, he guessed that the other party must have some ideas.
"Mr. Cun, do you have any ideas? Please rest assured that we will never let you down. We can transfer all the technologies you proposed before." William took a deep breath and spoke.
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng did not answer immediately, but asked back with a smile.
"Are you still short of people?"
Hearing this, William was dumbfounded.
What do you mean?
What do you mean we are still short of people?
Why is there no shortage of people?
They are very short of people now.
Don’t you see that there are not enough troops on the front line, so they have started to draw people from the factories?
"Mr. Cun, what do you mean?" William asked puzzledly.
"I have quite a few indigenous people here. They are hardworking and very suitable for doing some logistical work. Remember the Chinese workers in World War I? They were similar."
"Of course, if you are really short of people, you can also let them fill in the gaps. After all, you have the fine tradition of foreign legion, right?" Cun Yunsheng said meaningfully.
William watched all this thoughtfully.
.........
"Commander, there are so many factories in Yangcheng, including oil depots and various factories. Should we take it easy?"
The officer next to Qian Zhengqing spoke.
Can there be more factories?
One of the five major arsenals during the Qing Dynasty was established here.
There are also machine factories, charcoal car stove manufacturing plants, etc.
You know, Guangzhou has been doing foreign business for hundreds of years.
There were a lot of factories of all kinds. Later, the Japanese came and took over everything, and there were even more factories.
It can be said that Yangcheng at that time was a small industrial park.
"Don't blow up the oil depot randomly. It can also be used to refuel our tanks and planes. These are our property." Qian Zhengqing felt that he had to explain this to them clearly.
Don't just blow them up randomly, these are all property.
Who knows, it might be theirs in the future.
After all, Yangcheng is now taken by the Sichuan Army.
Before leaving, Meng Fanle gave many warnings and instructions.
Once we enter Guangzhou, we must protect those factories.
Especially those skilled workers, these are valuable assets.
"Yes, I understand."
"Let the infantry occupy those factories and make sure to appease the workers." Qian Zhengqing emphasized again.
"Yes!"
Inside the city were the Japanese 23rd Army's direct subordinate troops, and they had all become defeated soldiers long ago.
Facing Qian Zhengqing's 70th Regiment, they were no match at all.
Before long, the train station and key institutions around it were occupied.
Especially those factories, they must be firmly controlled in our own hands.
Each team is led by a local person and heads directly to the destination.
"Hurry up, surround that Mitsubishi Trading Company, and kill anyone who resists."
All the factories and enterprises owned by the Japanese were also confiscated.
Right now we are sending troops to occupy the place first and wait for follow-up.
Anyway, this time, as long as we can completely digest the fruits of Yangcheng.
The industrial strength of the Sichuan Army can be greatly improved.
Especially the upcoming German engineers.
With these workers and engineers, a larger industrial base can be built.
If you want to build a preliminary industrial system, you have to accumulate slowly.
Of course, there was some sporadic resistance along the way.
However, in the face of powerful firepower, those resistances were useless.
However, when they arrived near the Japanese military camp, the resistance was very fierce.
In response, Qian Zhengqing was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly called in the artillery company.
"Go ahead, rush in, solve all the problems, and leave no one registered."
With a wave of his hand, the soldiers launched a round of attacks with their mortars, and then, under the suppression of machine gun bullets, groups of soldiers rushed into various buildings, with assault rifles carrying them firing non-stop, and grenades occasionally roaring.
The Japanese soldiers, without artillery support, could only suffer defeat from the assault rifles and machine guns.
The battle lasted about five hours, and except for sporadic resistance, the battle could basically be declared over.
After all, there were only a thousand Japanese troops and a battalion in the city.
What about the puppet troops in the city?
He ran away the moment he heard the gunshots.
If you really can't run away, just kneel down and surrender.
"Send a telegram to the headquarters and tell them that Yangcheng has been completely taken over and all the factories have been taken over. There are not too many losses."
"Yes."
Meng Fanle couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he received the telegram, which meant that the industrial equipment in Yangcheng was received intact.
He had received a telegram from Cun Yunsheng, asking him to protect the industrial equipment in Yangcheng, especially the workers. They must be given special protection and nothing must happen to them.
Therefore, Meng Fanle also specifically emphasized that it must be well protected.
