Mandalay, Expeditionary Force Headquarters
John Bull's ambassador to China, Gareth, accompanied by General Stevie, arrogantly came to the Mandalay Expeditionary Force headquarters and handed Chu Xiong the warrant for cultivation.
"General Chu, you are the one who put the Chicken into the Asan Kingdom. You must be responsible and send troops to cooperate with General Alexander to destroy the 33rd Army. This is Zhongcai's order."
Gareth was so used to being an old man that he didn't even want to behave like a gentleman anymore. Stilwell shook his head and said to himself:
"I am Chu's boss who talks to him politely. John Bull thought they were the world's bosses."
Steve was waiting to see Chu Xiong laugh at him with his command, but unfortunately Chu Xiong disappointed the old man. He just took one look and put it away, and then said calmly:
"I understand, I won't let you eat until it's time for dinner, so please do as you please!"
Gareth was completely petrified at this time. He thought of many outcomes and made various plans, such as proposing some ungentlemanly conditions, etc. But he didn't expect Chu Xiong to even bother to talk nonsense to him, and just said He treated him like a vacuum. He was John Bull's ambassador, and even the crop owners spoke to him with respect.
Gareth suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a gentlemanly tone:
"General Chu, when will you send troops? Zhongcai's order has clearly told you to choose a day to send troops to Asan Kingdom. Do you want to disobey Zhongcai's order?"
Chu Xiong still said calmly:
"Mr. Gareth, we are the Chinese Expeditionary Force, not the John Bull Expeditionary Force. We have no obligation to send troops to the Asan Kingdom. Besides, Zhongcai's order ordered me to choose a day to send troops;
Choose a day, as the ambassador to China, your Chinese should have passed Level 8, and you should be able to understand the meaning of this word. Now is not the time to choose a day, the expeditionary force is preparing to counterattack, and the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. Please communicate with General Stevie, he is my direct leader, as long as he agrees with the expeditionary force to give up the counterattack against the light——"
When Stevie heard that he was about to give up his counterattack against Bright Light, he immediately protested:
"Chu, the counterattack against Guangguang has been decided and cannot be changed. I have prepared all the materials you need and will deliver them to Mandalay within a week."
Chu Xiong imitated the gentlemen and shrugged:
"Gareth, you heard me. Stevie has the final say on the counterattack. He has provided the supplies. You can't let the expeditionary force fight with bayonets against Japanese soldiers who are armed to the teeth."
Gareth is also a diplomat. There is something in Chu Xiong's words. It seems that sending troops is not without discussion. The key is that the benefits are in place. If there are no benefits, who will fight for you?
After thinking about this, he began to attack Stevie, hoping to persuade Stevie to agree. Yingjiang would provide supplies and the Chinese would send troops to cooperate with Alexander to eliminate the devils in Asan. Without the support of the resources of Asan, John The cows simply couldn't hold up for long.
Chu Xiong's ears finally calmed down. He had no idea what to do about John Bull's shamelessness, so he could only blame it on Stevie. When he saw Stevie being chased out by Gareth with a look of helplessness, his mood suddenly changed. Much better.
For him, it is not impossible to send troops, provided that John Bull can afford the price, and supplies alone will definitely not be enough. The expeditionary force is not short of supplies now.
Zhong Guoliang couldn't stand John Bull's shamelessness anymore and said directly:
"John Bull has just settled down now. He needs money but no money, and he needs equipment but no equipment. Why are you talking so much nonsense to them?"
Chu Xiong shook his head and said:
"John Bull still has a lot of good things, such as Hong Kong, southern Tibet, the domestic concessions, the Chinese national treasures collected in the museum, etc. If we don't kill them hard this time, we will be sorry for what the Japanese made in Asan Kingdom. evil."
After hearing this, Zhong Guoliang's eyes lit up, and the desire in his heart to kill the calf grew like a weed. He couldn't help but ask:
"John Bull is really willing to trade these for it?"
"Old Zhong, Asan Kingdom is known as the most dazzling pearl in the Queen's crown. With this pearl, John Bull can still maintain his status as a world power and sustain this war;
As long as the Japanese continue to attack the core area, John Bull will come to beg us. Now let them grind the eagle sauce to prevent Stilwell from getting out of position and yelling at us all day long. Only when there is competition can we negotiate terms. "
"Old Chu, you are so bad!"
After the two of them finished speaking, they looked at each other and smiled, feeling really good about these ghost guys.
Just when the two people were plotting against the ghost guy, Wei Zhenyu walked in with an unshaven beard and left the root place. He returned to his true colors as an expert.
"Commander, the equipment in the military factory has been installed and debugged, and we can recruit skilled workers from local Chinese. As long as there are enough workers, you can make shells for the Wei Shen Cannon and the Mulan Cannon again."
Wei Zhenyu shouted excitedly that since the second lady brought back the supporting equipment, his life has become more fulfilling again.
"Gong Wei, don't just limit yourself to the Emerald Country. There are a lot of talented people among the Chinese people in Nanyang. There are tens of millions of Chinese in countries like Java, Johor, and Luzon. Their children are generally well-educated, and they all care about China. , think of ways to get more;
The military factory must be formalized as soon as possible to meet the combat needs of the expeditionary force. After Liangguang is captured, I will establish a complete industrial system in the Emerald Kingdom. Not only must it have its own military industry, but also have certain scientific research capabilities. Liangguang Port is A great place.
We must start to reserve talents now. As long as they are capable, our expeditionary force will need every one. "
Now it was Wei Zhenyu's turn to be restless and establish an entire industrial system. This was too tempting for him.
"Commander, this requires money, lots and lots of money, astronomical amounts!"
Chu Xiong waved his hand and said:
"You don't have to worry about money. As long as you don't use it to cook, I'll take care of the money and it won't be a problem!"
Wei Zhenyu handed him a list like a magic trick. He just wanted money, supplies, and people. He focused on the group of educated young people trained by the teaching team, who were more useful than the Nanyang Chinese.
Chu Xiong simply reviewed it and then agreed. He was still relieved about Wei Zhenyu;
After getting the signature, Wei Zhenyu planned to spend more time with Chu Xiong, turned around and left, not even bothering to say polite things. Chu Xiong was a cash cow to him, and he could just shake it if he needed anything.
After sending Wei Zhenyu away, Chu Xiong's attention returned to the map again, his eyes always staring at the bright light. This was his inevitable goal. As long as he captured the bright light, his troops would be invincible;
If he advances, he can conquer the entire Nanyang continent, but if he retreats, he only needs to protect China's external land transportation lines, and then support the local Chinese to control Nanyang. His initial goal of sending troops to the expedition was achieved.
The troops had rested for more than twenty days, and the time to counterattack against the light was ripe. Everything was ready, except for Stilwell's supplies.
