Chapter 708 Huaxia Expeditionary Force
"God gave a good opportunity! God gave a good opportunity!" Old Jiang walked back and forth in the office excitedly, and his right hand, which could not be suppressed, was raised from time to time to touch his bald head.
Chen Cheng stopped talking for a long time. After finally waiting for Lao Jiang's excitement, he said tactfully: "The British are unable to protect themselves at this time. I'm afraid the conditions mentioned are a bit humid!"
The victory of the Germans in Europe now makes the world unfavorable for the future of Britain. Even if the conditions promised by the special envoys they sent were good, how many promises could be fulfilled once Britain fell? But when
Old Jiang stopped and stared at Chen Cheng for a long time before slowly saying: "The vanguard army is increasingly forced, and there are traces of its activities in Sichuan and Yunnan. We are unable to protect ourselves, and we want to steal the sky and change the sun, but this is the only opportunity."
Chiang Kai-shek was full of reluctance. The newly emerging force of the Pioneer Army was still unknown a few years ago, and in just over four years, he squeezed the rule of the Central Party out of the throne. Even though Chiang Kai-shek withdrew from the power circle, the many forces and relationships surrounding him were willing to be lonely after the lonely people? They would definitely abandon Chiang Kai-shek first, choose a leader again, and continue to fight with the Pioneer Army.
On the way to climb to the peak of power, I can't help myself.
Even if the central party ruled by the central government is in economic difficulties, the finances are almost collapsed;
Even though the central party was disinterested in the party, many talents were sent to the vanguard army, and the bigwigs in other mountains of the party took the opportunity to seize power;
Even if people in various places suffer from poor livelihood, although they will not die of hunger on a large scale with the help of the Pioneer Army, they will also be filled with grief in the vast area of grain production in Sichuan, and they will be hungry. Compared with provinces near the Pioneer Army, the public is grievances soar;
Even warlords, associations, bandits and other forces were rampant in Sichuan and Yunnan, and other parties such as the Red Party took the opportunity to incite chaos;
Even without the forced oppression of Japanese foreign races, there are many internal and external troubles at all;
Even if there are many ethnic issues in Sichuan and Yunnan, they cannot be suppressed;
Even if the forces in the army hold their own military power, even the direct disciples of Huangpu have their own words of independence.
But all this problem was carried forward by Chiang Kai-shek, and he relied on the years of prestige of the Central Party and supported the central party that was increasingly influential.
"The first batch of 50 million pounds loans have been received. Can this be fake? With money, there will be military, and there will be power. We can build around us like iron barrels, making Meng Ribai unable to enter even if he wants to." Old Jiang became more and more excited.
As Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places have been recovered, the Pioneer Army has issued various preferential policies for industry and commerce, causing the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortium to directly turn to the Pioneer Army and remove the financial support that Chiang Kai-shek has always relied on.
Most of the industry and commerce in Sichuan and Yunnan have been lost to the territory of the Pioneer Army, and most of the tariffs supported by the finance are monopolized by the Pioneer Army. The taxes and fees of Lijin checkpoints in various places are often destroyed by armed groups of various forces. The taxes of Sichuan Jingyan were also squeezed to death by the cheap sea salt smuggled by the Pioneer Army. The taxes of agricultural taxes cannot be collected, and the agricultural tax burden has also been caused by the disasters since last year. Even if they have caused resentment from the sky, they still cannot collect much money.
Even this little money will still be divided up by various warlords from Sichuan and Yunnan and local forces.
The central party and government received taxes and fees that the army could not afford, and the size of the army was shrinking again and again. Although it was said to be one million, people were constantly losing it. It would be good if the current scale could reach 500,000.
Without money, not only the army cannot afford it, but even the wages of government agencies are a problem, not to mention other social welfare and infrastructure. When Chiang Kai-shek was in despair, the British came with gold tickets.
When the British saw the vanguard army and the Americans procrastinate, they didn't know what they were thinking? In desperation, they continued to seek additional help.
In Asia, China is the only one who wants to check and balance the Japanese.
The combat effectiveness of the indigenous people in Southeast Asia is not to mention. They bully the weak and fear the strong, and face the Japanese more timid than rabbits. Even if the unorganized army is given weapons, they will collapse as soon as they rush.
The Indian soldiers were a little stronger, but at this time, the chaos in India was also in chaos. The trend of ** was becoming more and more intense under Meng Xiang's push. Even if the power that could be drawn must first meet the needs of Europe and the Middle East.
In addition to the vanguard army, China also has two other forces.
The Wang Puppet regime, hiding on Hainan Island, was not recognized internationally at all, and was even a lackey of the Japanese, so they didn't think about it directly. Long Yunfu from Yunnan pushed all foreign languages to Chongqing Lao Chiang. The one million troops that the Central Party boasted to the outside world are still very attractive.
Moreover, the Chongqing government is still the orthodox internationally recognized by most countries. Under the leadership of Britain and the United States, many countries remain silent on the vanguard military government under the pretext of war. As long as Chongqing nods, it means dragging the entire China into the water. Even if the vanguard army wants to repent, it will be difficult for them to repent, unless they are completely broken up.
So the experienced British people bypassed the vanguard army and came directly to Chongqing. Facing the flying of various promises and golden tickets, Chiang Kai-shek also happily signed the "China-British Joint Defense of the Yunnan-Burma Road Agreement" with the British in just a few days in early October.
"The mission is done!" Churchill in the distance breathed a little relieved after hearing this, "It is enough to have a million troops from Chongqing. If the vanguard army is really mixed in, it is not certain whether Myanmar will belong to us in the future!"
...
"In addition to detouring our territory, Chongqing has only Myanmar and Vietnam. With so many eyes watching, Chiang Kai-shek may not openly communicate with the Japanese in Vietnam. The taxes between Yunnan and Burma are still important incomes in Chongqing. With this alone, Chiang Kai-shek is reluctant to give up!" Meng Xiang said with a smile.
It was not three hours after Chongqing signed the agreement on October 11, and Meng Xiang had already had an exact same agreement.
This was long before Meng Xiang expected.
"If we occupied Yunnan early, I would be worried about whether the British would invite us to Myanmar. The British were also worried that it was easy to invite God and it was difficult to send God. This time, I blocked Chongqing in front of us and wanted to squeeze us aside." Meng Xiang continued to smile.
"It's a magic trick that goes by. This time, the British people's ideas are about to fail!" Fan Zhong slapped the thick stack of plans on the table and joked with emotion.
Meng Xiang had ordered the General Staff to formulate a series of relevant plans two years ago. From the beginning of the Japanese attack on the United States, everything seemed to follow those plans step by step. This ability to predict the enemy's initiative surprised him.
Meng Xiang didn't care that he had become a charlatan again. After lowering his head and thinking for a while, he solemnly said: "Let's enable Plan C!"
Fan Zhong's face was stunned and said slowly: "If it is Plan C, some methods may not be used."
"Although the expeditionary army in Chongqing has begun to be formed, all kinds of preparations cannot be compared with us. If they come to the front line and the Japanese to collide with the Japanese, the losses will be too great. They are all our compatriots, and they are all good men of China." Meng Xiang looked up at the window, and that moment seemed to penetrate time and space. The expeditionary army in China that had been buried in the memories of later generations for a long time, scenes of scenes instantly appeared in front of him, making him sigh heavily in his heart, and he said resolutely:
"The Chinese Expeditionary Force naturally needs to have it, not only it needs to have it, but also to show the majesty of China!"
...
Due to the urgency of the British, he received financial support from the British. After the Central Army, which had checked and balanced Long Yun in Yunnan, received the recruitment order, cooperated with the elite Central Army who rushed from Sichuan to quickly form the first expeditionary army and prepare to capture land in foreign countries.
"We have not yet undergone field training, and just rushed to the battlefield like this, I am afraid that unnecessary losses will be caused!" Dai Anlan, the commander of the 200th Division, said worriedly.
Although Sun Liren, Liao Yaoxiang and others have joined the vanguard army, some of the generals of the expeditionary force arranged by Chongqing have not changed. As an elite, Dai Anlan's 200th Division once again coincided with history, but became a vanguard entering Myanmar.
The principal of Chiang Kai-shek was not in vain. The Chinese people have always believed in loyalty and righteousness. Dai Anlan and others have never accepted the olive branch of the Pioneer Army.
This situation is the most common in the first three periods of Huangpu. They all occupy the real power of the middle and upper-level Central Army, and both honors and interests have been achieved. There are already many high-ranking people in the Pioneer Army, and the newly emerging factions in the Pioneer Army will also be excluded. The status they gained in the past may not be compared with that in the Central Army. In addition to the call of relatives and friends and families, and those who are particularly interested in the policies of the Pioneer Army, others still maintain their allegiance to the Central Army.
However, the Pioneer Army has not launched a civil war, but instead uses the relationship between relatives and friends to communicate with various characters in the Central Army.
Dai Anlan has also visited the Pioneer Army's troops. In addition to envying the weapons and equipment of the Pioneer Army, he also highly agrees with the training and tactics of the Pioneer Army.
The new recruits in the Pioneer Army must first undergo various training in the new recruit battalion before they can become a Pioneer Army soldier. This is just the beginning. Every time they fight, adaptive training will be carried out for various environments.
Dai Anlan knew that the night and street fighting that the Pioneer Army had always praised were based on special training. He also knew that the Pioneer Army's mountain troops and Marine Corps also formed special teams for terrain such as mountains and island beaches, and had a deep understanding of the importance of familiarizing themselves with the environment.
"At least you must adapt to the jungle in Yunnan for a while!" Dai Anlan suggested to Luo Zhuoying, commander of the First Route of the Expeditionary Force.
"There is no time!" Luo Zhuoying shook his head slightly and sighed, "The Japanese have entered Myanmar!" (To be continued)
