Chapter 151 I have to guard against it!
The nearly night of arrest was over, which really made many people in the city feel scared. However, Dai Li, who was in charge of confidentiality, did feel like he was slapped in the face when he saw the confessions interrogated one after another.
As Hu Biao said, the confidentiality work done by the Military Control Commission for this meeting was full of loopholes. In addition to the leaks of secrets within the Military Control Commission, as well as the representatives of the officers who entered the mansion, there were lurking agents who collected intelligence for the pseudo-government.
The generals who came to participate in the meeting also said angrily when they saw the liaison officer's report: "How did this confidentiality work be done? Even the mansion has been penetrated, how can we still hope to keep it confidential?"
On the contrary, Hu Biao, as the deputy commander-in-chief, said calmly: "It is not a bad thing to find these big rats. If you feel uneasy, I can arrange for you to move into the air force camp now!"
"Brother Hu, isn't this right?"
"Nothing! All the negotiators on their side are here, and we are discussing the same thing, so it doesn't matter if we start the meeting process in advance. Negotiation and negotiations always have time to bargain, right?"
After hearing what Hu Biao said, Wei Junru, as the commander-in-chief, thought for a while and said, "Okay, then listen to Brother Hu. The delegation will move in later. There are foreigners there, and even if the Japanese want to get in, it's not easy!"
Hu Biao just smiled and said nothing. He asked someone to contact the Menian Airlines team. Several generals who participated in the talks arrived at the Menian airline base in Chuncheng together, and was also welcomed by the generals who met.
Just as the meeting was about to end, Hu Biao smiled and said, "General Dennis, your adjutant, Colonel Kubi, should have come here too, right? I wonder if the general can recommend it to me before the meeting?"
As the negotiator of England, Dennis was not familiar with Hu Biao. But he knew that compared to Wei Junru sent by the National Government, the young lieutenant general and deputy commander-in-chief were the ones who could really make a decision.
Unexplained, he said: "General Hu knows my adjutant?"
"It's not a question of knowing each other! It's just that there are some things that need to be asked in person!"
When Dennis called the adjutant over, Colonel Kuby also said with a confused look on his face: "General, is there anything you have to do with me?"
At this moment, Hu Biao snapped his fingers, and Nuvik, who was standing beside Lieutenant General Pique, suddenly pulled out his gun and said, "Col. Kubi, sorry! Please hand over your gun! This is a general, don't have any accidents!"
"Vic, what are you doing?"
"General Dennis, I'm saving you! Do you understand? Colonel Kubi, do you know why I did this?"
"I don't know! Mr. Vick, is this a misunderstanding?"
"Am I misunderstood? Then I would like to ask Colonel Kubi, the ten gold bars you received a week ago should not be exchanged, right? Also, in the house you rented in Dagon City, the woman introduced to you by someone else should be very enjoyable, right?"
As soon as these words were said, Colonel Kubi's face turned pale. In contrast, Lieutenant General Dennis, who had been very angry before, also said in disbelief: "Kube, you were actually bribed? Damn, you are simply a shame for the Imperial soldiers!"
Only Hu Biao said calmly: "General Dennis, you should know that this four-party meeting is more to save your country's colonies and protect our country's southwest international material supply line. It is normal for the Fusang people to spy on the news.
According to what I know, in addition to Colonel Kubi, the number of officers in your army who were bought to leak information to the Fusang people is probably far beyond your estimate. You can talk to Mr. Vick later on!"
"Thank you! I just want to know how General Hu knew that he betrayed the information?"
"It's very simple! Because I am Hu Biao! Secondly, I am also the Japanese Special High School Class and the highest reward for the Anti-Japanese War! Unfortunately, the Japanese Special High School Class has not been able to take a photo of me so far, and I have never been defeated in the face of the Japanese army!"
Wei Junru and others who accompanied Hu Biao were surprised to hear Hu Biao's words, but they knew that Hu Biao did not tell lies. The other foreign generals believed this.
As the representative of Menia at this meeting, Lieutenant General Steve also said in due time: "Denis, it is very important for General Hu and his subordinates to block the Fusang army this time. You should be grateful for being able to find this traitor!"
"Thanks!"
"You're welcome! The enemy's enemies are friends! As allies, we are friends now. What's more, our country also needs this transportation supply line at present, so we were invited to participate in this meeting and are willing to block the Japanese army for your army."
In front of the generals, Hu Biao gave Dennis's face and he had to apologize to Hu Biao. Seeing the gold bars found from Kuby's room, Dennis blushed and was scared into a cold sweat. He felt that this was really terrible.
If Hu Biao hadn't pulled Kubi out in advance, he could have believed that all the meeting content would have been known to the Japanese army in a very short time. In that case, their next move would have become extremely passive.
The airline team cleaned the room, and not long after the generals were brought in, Hu Biao took two team members into the rooms of these generals. Just when the generals were confused, Hu Biao signaled them not to speak.
Two team members with instruments soon searched the room where the generals lived. Seeing this scene, the generals participating in the meeting also knew that Hu Biao should be searching for eavesdropping weapons. The generals did not know much about this kind of agent equipment.
After the two team members finished checking and confirmed that there was no problem, Hu Biao explained: "It involves national interests, so you have to be careful!"
"It's OK! It seems that with Brother Hu here this time, we can save a lot of trouble!"
"I will try my best to fight for the benefits I can fight for you. All we need to do is to tell the other three generals that it is okay to send troops to help with the war. But accordingly, we must have the right to fight independently, and the command cannot be given to them all."
"Will they agree to such a request?"
"If you don't agree, then don't talk! Then continue to drag it! I also want to see if the British colonial army can block the strong attack of the Japanese army. The longer the delay, the greater the loss. Too many troops killed in battle, they cannot bear the consequences!"
Compared with the anti-Japanese war troops, most of the time, they did not care too much about casualties. Hu Biao knew very well that those colonial armies that shouted to defend the honor of England were not as good as weak as they were not the match of the elite Japanese army.
Once the number of casualties increases, the foreigners will either escape or surrender. As the number of troops destroyed by the Japanese army is large, I believe the colonial government will not be able to sit still. Moreover, their colony itself is not very peaceful at the moment!
After reaching an agreement within the country, although some generals felt that Hu Biao was too arbitrary and authoritarian, it should be logical that Wei Junru should come forward. But Wei Junru felt that if this matter was negotiated, it would be unclear whether it would be a meritorious, and if it was broken, it would definitely be punished.
In contrast, Wei Junru knew that Chiang Kai-shek could not cure Hu Biao's crime at all. What Hu Biao did now was all from the standpoint of the expedition army. The more benefits he gained, wouldn't it be more beneficial to the government and the expedition army?
During the subsequent talks, Wei Junran said readily: "Everyone, my English level is limited, and General Hu will be fully responsible for the specific negotiations. If you have any objections, you can also raise it!"
The result is obvious that in addition to Dennis a little depressed, Lieutenant General Steve, the representative of Menia, Lieutenant General Pique, and the representative of Observation, Vic, were all on Hu Biao's side and were more willing to talk to Hu Biao.
To put it simply, England is going to have a heavy bleeding this time, and Menia is just spending some money and weapons. As for Lieutenant General Pique of France, he is even more of a good deal and he doesn't speak much.
By defending the Indochina colony, Pique was promoted from a lieutenant colonel to a lieutenant general in less than two years. He knew better than anyone else who was the one who really stopped the Japanese invasion. Even Vic was Hu Biao's subordinate!
The issue involving command is that Dennis and Steve seemed a little persistent. In response to this persistence, Hu Biao said without hesitation: "We cannot completely hand over the power of combat and command into your hands, not to mention that you don't know much about our army.
Since it is a joint battle, I would like to ask, as the deputy commander-in-chief of the front line, do I have the right to mobilize your army to fight? If not, why do you have absolute command?"
"But we have paid so much money and weapons, we can't have no rights, right?"
"How could it not be? The Joint Command, General Steve is the commander-in-chief, and our General Guard serves as the deputy commander-in-chief. If we really need support or combat in our army, wouldn't a telegram solve the problem?
If we hand over the command power to you, can you guarantee that we will not put our troops on the front line? We are assisting in the war, not cannon fodder, nor mercenaries. I hope you both understand this, we can drag it down!"
Seeing Hu Biao fighting for an inch of land, the two foreign generals were also very troubled. At this time, General Pique said: "The power of combat is actually not important. What is important is that you must send troops as soon as possible to block the Japanese attack.
This meeting is more about defeating the Japanese army, ensuring that our colonies are not occupied, and ensuring that your country’s supply lines are not affected. Under this premise, all parties should work together rather than argue for a command for too long!”
Lieutenant General Pique, who acted as a peacemaker, was very calm. He really seemed relieved to have a large number of elite guards of the Indochina colony he was responsible for. Even if he knew that this colony would be difficult to take back when the war ended.
But Lieutenant General Pique knew better that by the end of the war, he might have been transferred back to the country. By defending the colony and resisting the attack of the Fusang people, he would still become a hero in the eyes of others.
Even if someone holds him accountable after returning to China, he can still blame the Governor Louis. No matter how badly he has, Pique will not have to worry about money in the rest of his life with the benefits provided by Vic!
