Chapter 105 The wind is blowing!
Compared with domestic combat generals, they all focused on defending against Japanese offensives, and thought more about how to recover lost territory. Hu Biao, who went to the southwest border, turned his attention to other places early and paid close attention to changes in the situation on the European battlefield.
Through cooperation with the Menian military and close cooperation with the Brook family, Hu Biao has been paying attention to the progress of the European battlefield. Every time he sends a telegram to Brook, he will remind the other party that he will send him a telegram immediately if the situation changes.
During the period in Menia, Hu Biao also deduced the outcome of the war with Brooke. The people of the Brooke family believed that Britain and France had the ability to resist the invasion of Germany. This confidence was more based on the Maginot line built by the French army.
Long before the outbreak of the war, the French army raised huge sums of money to build unscrupulous fortifications and fortresses on the border. Anyone who has seen the fortifications knows that if they want to break through this line of defense built by the French army, I believe many countries cannot do it.
At that time, Hu Biao asserted: I do not deny that the national defense project built by the French army was indeed very strong. But have you ever thought that this project was only built within France and did not extend to its neighbors.
Once the war breaks out, if I were the enemy commander, I would not have to chew this hard bone. I would only take the neighboring countries and quickly deploy the troops to the rear of the defensive forces. In that case, these fortifications would be useless!
Although many people laughed at each other that Hu Biao's analysis was too much on paper. However, Brooke, who had worked with Hu Biao for a long time, believed in Hu Biao's intuition. The reason was very simple. With this intuition, Hu Biao never made any mistakes in judgment.
When he learned that the German army began to advance to the French defense line, Brooke instructed the family's intelligence collectors to closely monitor the progress of the war. In fact, the Menian military also paid close attention to this kind of intelligence collection work.
Just two days later, Brooke received an urgent telegram from the intelligence officer. Seeing the contents of the telegram, Brooke sighed: As Hu said, the German army sneaked into the Ardennes Highlands, and the British and French coalition forces were besieged in Dunkirk.
What? In this way, the German army could bypass the Maginot Line and completely separate the French troops deployed on the front. God! Now the French army is in trouble. In addition to deploying heavy troops on the front, the rear is very empty.
I hope God can bless them! Send this telegram to Hu immediately. I believe that he will be very happy to see this telegram! At this time, I believe that those who laughed at Hu at the beginning should not be able to laugh at this moment!
As Brook thought, as the Menian military, who had not participated in the neutral country, felt stunned when he saw the war situation report sent back from the European front. Especially those generals who visited the defense line felt even more unbelievable.
The Chief of Military Intelligence Staff, who was responsible for the meeting, said in a serious voice: What do you think when you see this telegram? You have always believed that the coalition forces had the ability to defeat the German offensive. But what about now?
As the Germans bypass the Maginot Line and complete infiltration from the Ardennes Highlands, the French defense line will become vulnerable, and there will be no more time left before they fall. Our friend from the Far East has a more strategic vision than us!
General, what is Congress’ statement about this?
Not yet made a statement! However, Congress is already deliberating on whether to give corresponding military aid to the Allies. To be precise, as the French army completely withdraws from the battlefield, those guys in the parliament can earn a huge amount of wealth.
As the chief of staff said, the Menian merchants who were not very interested in fighting were very interested in doing business. In their opinion, with the complete defeat of the French army, the Allied troops would inevitably need a large number of military supplies and weapons.
As a neutral country, Menian businessmen who have established a complete and sufficient industrial system can also make a fortune with this opportunity. The problem of overcapacity that previously troubled MPs is not a problem at all.
Regarding what happened in Menia, Hu Biao, who was in Yongfu City far southwest, was not in the mood to pay attention to it. As early as before the war, Hu Biao urged the Menia side to airlift the ordered machines and supplies to Shillong and other places.
Just half a month ago, the last batch of supplies transported by sea were transported by Hu Biao to factories in colonial settlements and various deep mountains. At this moment, these factories are also working at full capacity to provide the troops with a steady stream of military supplies.
Some of these military supplies were even loved by the Menian military, even if the national army also gave purchase orders. With these orders, the factories that Hu Biao spent a lot of money to build finally brought benefits to Hu Biao.
Seeing the urgent telegram sent by Brooke, Hu Biao sighed and said with a sigh of relief: The whole army is in power, and the wind is blowing!
Yes, wolf head!
The so-called wind blowing means that the war is coming. Although it is not clear when the Japanese army will take action. But Hu Biao believes that the Japanese army will definitely not endure it for too long. How could they give up the fat piece of Indochina?
Moreover, in a strategic sense, if the Japanese army can fully control the Indochina colony, in addition to obtaining a colony with a lot of resources, it can also completely block the National Government's transportation supply line in the southwest.
If the National Government completely loses overseas materials and military aid, the National Government will also support it for a long time. For the Japanese army, if they put pressure on them, the National Government may choose to negotiate and end the current state of the two armies' chess.
After receiving a secret telegram from Hu Biao, the troops that had been on standby for a long time also became more warlike. The clearing troops led by the special operations brigade took the lead in raiding the Japanese rebellious armed forces supported by the Japanese in Indochina and purged the forces that secretly surrendered to the Japanese army.
Faced with the special combat brigade raid that had been preparing for a long time, the resistance armed forces, which had average combat effectiveness, had no power to fight back. Even if the colonial army learned the news, they did not care too much. In their opinion, they hoped that someone would eliminate these resistance armed forces for them.
There were even some rebellious armed forces. Hu Biao personally sent the credit for clearing out the rebellious armed forces to these colonial officers through Nuvik and the intelligence team. Even when the Japanese army heard the news, they were extremely shocked.
What about Na? The colonial army in Indochina suddenly attacked our forces? Why was there no news before?
Commander, this operation was very sudden. In addition to taking action against the rebellious armed forces we supported, the colonial army also cleaned up many forces that secretly defected to us. Several of our intelligence points were all in a state of loss of contact.
Baga! Are these damn colonial troops really going to fight against us?
Like Hu Biao, the generals of the Japanese cabinet became extremely excited when they received good news from their allies. In their opinion, there was only a matter of time left for the German army to completely defeat the French army. This means that the French army will be completely eliminated.
As a former European colonial power, the French army also had many colonies in Asia. These colonies will all become the spoils of the Japanese army. The plan promoted by the Japanese cabinet seems to be a reality soon.
Just as the Japanese cabinet was deploying to seize the French colonies in Asia, it received a telegram from Indochina. Faced with the huge changes in Indochina, the Japanese cabinet was also very surprised.
Baga! Do those damn colonial troops really want to fight against us?
General, should we send nearby troops to hit these damn colonial troops? With the strength of our fleet deployed in the southwest, we can completely capture the port cities controlled by the colonial troops in a short time.
But our military expenditure and combat supplies have not been raised yet. If we send troops rashly, it will be difficult to take down Indochina in one breath. If the colonial army escapes, it will become much more difficult for us to completely control Indochina.
If we don't take action now, we will be more passive in the future. Once the colonial army cleans up the forces we support and even begins to strengthen defense deployment, it will become extremely difficult for the army to advance quickly after landing.
As the saying goes, do not fight unprepared wars. Not only does the colonies owned by colonies such as Britain and France in Asia, the Japanese army must be very envious. The problem is that once the Japanese army attacks, they will also be aware of completely breaking up with these countries.
At present, the German army has indeed won the victory on the European battlefield. However, the Japanese army cannot analyze how the subsequent battle situation will change. In order to complete the combat plan to completely occupy Indochina, the Japanese army is urgently drawing combat troops and raising materials.
The troops are still being transferred and the materials are being prepared, so they will definitely not be able to be deployed in a short period of time. If you take action rashly, it will become extremely unfavorable for the Japanese army.
Unlike these young officers who actively asked for battle, as senior generals in the cabinet, they all knew that the Fusang government's war expenditure was about to collapse at this moment. The crazy expansion of the army required a large amount of money.
It is a resource-poor country. The funds reserved by the Fusang government for this war have reached a point where it is almost impossible to hold on. Even if the Japanese army strengthened the resource plunder of the colonies, it still could not meet the growing military expenditure demand.
For the Japanese army, their full-scale invasion of China was already in a difficult situation. The National Government was reluctant to negotiate with the Japanese army for a long time, which made the Japanese army dare not draw large numbers of troops from the battlefield.
Knowing that capturing Indochina would be of great help to improve their status quo, the Japanese cabinet was still worried that the colonial army that controlled Indochina would not be willing to hand over the colony to the Japanese army. Once the war stalemate was in stalemate, the Japanese army would be in danger.
But the situation in Indochina is undergoing drastic changes, and the colonial army seems to have snatched away potential internal threats before the Japanese army. If it continues to drag on, the Japanese army is also worried that it will increase the difficulty of the attack in the later stage.
In fact, this is the result that Hu Biao hoped to see when he took the lead. In the name of the colonial army, he took the lead in eliminating the armed forces and forces that could quickly control Indochina. He disrupted the Japanese military's combat steps and let him lose his position.
If you want to invade Indochina in full, it will definitely not work if there are fewer troops. If you want to mobilize a large number of troops, where will the troops come from?
If the east wall is demolished and repaired the west wall, Hu Biao will have a way to join forces with the Gui army, so that the Japanese devils will eventually become a waste. In the southwest, the Gui army, who is determined to find the place, isn't it a vegetarian?
