Chapter 163 What would happen if I were a Japanese commander! (Fourth update!)
“Are you all here?” Cun Yunsheng looked at Meng Fan and asked doubtfully.
“Well, basically everyone is here, but there are still more than a dozen families who haven’t come.” Meng Fangliao held the list in his hand. They were all from the big Chinese families around Lashio.
“Oh? Why didn’t these dozen companies come?”
Hearing this, Meng Fanlai sighed and then started.
Actually, it’s very simple, that is, these dozen companies came earlier. Looking back, they have been here for hundreds of years.
Has long been integrated with the local indigenous people, and when the Sichuan Army attacked Lashio, they bombed Lashio countless times.
As a result, many natives were killed or injured in the city, including people from more than a dozen families.
Hence, people from these dozen families are naturally unwilling to listen to Cun Yunsheng's nonsense.
After hearing what Meng Fangliao said, Cun Yunsheng sneered.
“Are these people sure that I don’t dare to do anything? Do they think I’m kind? Or do they think I’m weak?”
“I dare to trick the British army, but how dare a few indigenous families show shame to me?”
“I’m really tired of living. I don’t know how many heads I have to chop off.”
"Go and let Xue Tian take the people from the guard camp to ransack the house. The crime is colluding with the Japanese army and mutilating the Allied soldiers. As for how to mutilate, you let Xue Tian think about it himself."
"Huh? Wouldn't this be bad?" Meng Fanxiao hesitated. After all, to put it bluntly, those people were all indigenous people. If they were arrested like this, the impact would definitely be bad.
"What do you mean? Aren't you worried that Stilwell will scold us? For him, as long as he can win the battle, nothing else matters."
“After all, the US military is the originator of this kind of thing.” Cun Yunsheng sneered.
“Then kill them all?” Meng Fangliao asked again.
If more than a dozen families were involved, there must be hundreds of people, and they would all be killed.
I'm afraid it will definitely cause quite a stir!
"No, just kill a few of the chief culprits, and let the others with minor crimes go. But don't we still have to build roads? Didn't Kang Ya ask me to send more people to the engineering battalion? Just let these people do the repairs. Let them come back after the road is repaired. "Cun Yunsheng doesn't want to kill too many people.
As for accidents that occurred during the road construction process, they had nothing to do with him.
After all, you will choke to death if you drink water.
He himself did not want to take action against these people.
But this kind of person who doesn't take him seriously at all should not be treated lightly.
Otherwise, others will not take them seriously.
How to lead the team?
Compassion does not control soldiers, justice does not control wealth!
“Yes, Tuan Zuo.” Meng Fan couldn’t help but breathed a sigh of relief. If only a few of the culprits were killed, the impact would not be great.
After all, the Japanese army occupied Lashio for so long, and the local Chinese people could still live in peace, then they must have colluded with the Japanese army. It is too simple to list a few charges.
As long as it doesn’t cause large-scale killings, no one will care.
Even if Stilwell knew about it, he would just shake his head and kill well.
“Where are the rest?” Cun Yunsheng asked again.
“Well, I’ve been waiting for you in the conference room for a long time.” Meng Fangliao said quickly.
"Then let them wait first, just in time to show them off. If you don't tease them, they will think that our Sichuan Army is easy to bully." Cun Yunsheng sneered.
“In addition, let each unit seize the time to rest and recuperate. The battle is not completely over. If we want to completely open up northern Myanmar, there is still a close-knit Takeuchi regiment to deal with.”
“Are you going to take action against the Takeuchi Alliance?” Meng Fanliao asked.
"Well, it's time to take action, but this time is different from capturing Lashio. The weapons required will be more special." Cun Yunsheng nodded, and then said again.
"When this is resolved, I will go to Imphal in person and communicate with Stilwell personally."
"Ah? Didn't Stilwell say there would be a military parade in Lashio?" Meng Fan asked in confusion.
"If there is no problem in Imphal, he will definitely come, but now that Imphal is still besieged by the Japanese army, it is naturally impossible to fly to Lashio in person." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said.
“Now that the Japanese army has suffered a big loss in Lashio, they will definitely find ground elsewhere. I think they will either directly occupy Imphal, or bypass Imphal and directly attack the British hinterland.”
“A blind siege simply won’t work. The Allies can rely on a large number of transport aircraft to transport a steady stream of soldiers and supplies from the rear. Can the Japanese army do that?”
“If I were the commander of the Japanese army, I would bring a month’s worth of supplies and then attack directly into the heart of the British army, and then fool the natives into taking up arms and starting to resist the British army.”
"I think within a month, the British army will definitely be in chaos. It's a pity that the Japanese army's strategic vision is still a bit weak."
After hearing what he said, Meng Fan looked at Cun Yunsheng with numb scalp.
“Sir, it’s a good thing that the commander of the Japanese army is not you, otherwise, the British army would definitely be in trouble.”
“It’s just material supplies? How to solve it?”
This is what Meng Fan is most curious about.
"How stupid are you? You eat and drink from the British army. What supplies should you bring? If your weapons are gone, you will use British weapons."
“The combat effectiveness of those British and Indian troops can only be fought by the Fifteenth Army, and other troops cannot do it at all.”
"Actually, if the Japanese navy were stronger and sent a fleet over, it would definitely make the British army very uncomfortable. It's a pity that the little devil's strategic vision is not good." Cun Yunsheng said regretfully again.
“Okay, those people have finished waiting, it’s time to go and have a look.”
After saying that, Cun Yunsheng glanced at his watch, estimated that it was almost time, and walked towards the conference room.
At this moment, in the conference room, all the Chinese people who were invited were restless.
They were those who did not escape when the Japanese army came.
Some people who were unwilling to join the Japanese army left Lashio with the expeditionary force and became refugees.
Who knew that the Japanese army had only occupied Lashio for a few months and was driven away again.
This made them a little uneasy.
Everyone turned their attention to the eldest An Lao.
“Mr. An, do you think it’s a good thing or a bad thing to have us come this time?” Finally, someone couldn’t help but ask.
Because Mr. An has long been in contact with the Sichuan Army.
When Hsipaw was captured before, someone contacted a large group of Chinese families in Lashio, and the purpose was naturally to do business.
At that time, Anjia had an attitude of not offending, so he agreed to provide some food in private.
Unexpectedly, a kind act at that time turned out to be a life-saving bargaining chip.
"Ahem, let me tell you some news. Just now, the houses of those families who did not come have been ransacked, and the culprits were all shot for murdering allied soldiers." At this time, Xue Tian walked in, full of murderous intent. said.
“Huh? Your home was ransacked?” Many people were frightened when they heard the news.
Why was the house ransacked?
Why is the Sichuan Army so domineering?
This is not their territory.
here it is!
For a moment, no one knew what to say.
Because no one knows whose territory it is now.
From the British Army?
Have been driven away long ago!
The Japanese army?
also was driven away.
Then there is only one Sichuan Army Corps left.
Looking at everyone's speechless appearance, Xue Tian sneered.
"Behave yourself, don't think that everything will be fine when you come. Colluding with the Japanese army and murdering allied soldiers is a capital crime, if it weren't for the fact that you are Chinese."
"Humph, for what you have done, even ten shootings are not enough." Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and some of them were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat.
Xue Tian glanced around, sneered and left.
After he left, the others suddenly became anxious.
“An Lao, An Lao, is this true?”
“The house was really ransacked?”
“Anlao, will we be fine?”
"It should be true. There is no need for them to lie to us." Mr. An shook his head, somewhat grateful for Anjia's previous choice, and said again.
"So, just be happy. I also know that some of you are stuck in a few boats. There is nothing you can do about it. We are relatively weak and have a lot of wealth, so we can only be slaughtered by others."
Mr. An didn't say anything else, but the meaning was clear. If he hadn't come this time, he might have followed in his footsteps.
Some people who were grateful to Mr. An for persuading them to come came forward to express their thanks.
"Anlao, are you not afraid of the Sichuan Army?"
"What are you afraid of? What they said is right. We did collude with the Japanese army, otherwise our family would not be safe. This crime is not wrong."
"What's more, they have wiped out a division of Japanese troops, so why do they still care about our little armed force to guard the home?" Mr. An saw it very clearly.
“If the British army knew about it.” Some people wanted to continue to say something unwillingly.
"British army? The British army is afraid that we will all die." Someone said sarcastically.
At this time, everyone was silent. Wasn't the reason why they chose to cooperate with the Japanese army just because they were fed up with the blackmail from the British army?
Who knew that the Japanese army would not be much better.
It can be said that they are all the same.
"Are we really fighting for the sword and the flesh?" Someone still growled unwillingly, for fear that someone would hear.
As a result, this sentence was heard by Cun Yunsheng who just opened the door and walked in.
"Well, that's right. We are the knives and I am the fish. Now you are the fish and I am the one holding the knife. Do you accept it?" Cun Yunsheng looked at everyone indifferently and said coldly.
Everyone stood up quickly when they saw Cun Yunsheng's rank of colonel.
Especially the person who just spoke was so frightened that his face turned pale.
More people were surprised, such a young colonel?
The commander of the Sichuan Army is actually so young?
“I’ve met Sir Cun.” Mr. An didn’t dare to express his displeasure and quickly said with his hands in hand.
“I’ve met Commander Cun.”
“I’ve met Commander Cun.”
Others also came to their senses and quickly raised their hands and said.
"You're welcome." Cun Yunsheng's expression softened a lot. He sat in the main seat, looked at the people in front of him, and motioned for them to sit down.
Everyone sat down one after another, sitting upright and looking at Cun Yunsheng.
Seems like he wants to capture some information from his expression.
Unfortunately, after looking for a long time, I saw nothing.
“Sir Cun, this is a gift from all of us, please accept it.” Before coming, everyone had thought about getting together a gift, otherwise it would be very rude.
After all, it’s not strange to give gifts to many people. For the sake of the gift, it shouldn’t be too difficult for them.
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng curiously opened the box on the main table.
From the moment he came in, he saw the box on the main table.
Looking at the fifty large yellow croakers, Cun Yunsheng had a smile on his lips.
These wealthy Chinese families are still rich.
They were exploited first by the British army and then by the Japanese army, but they were still able to come up with so much money.
It’s enough to show that the background is really deep!
However, considering that the vicious people have been here for three generations, it is normal to have this accumulation.
After all, the Chinese are famous for their hard work.
"I'll accept the gift. I'll let you come this time. There's something I need to tell you. You must have heard of the Chinese Mutual Aid Association, right?" Cun Yunsheng nodded first, and then said straight to the point.
“Sir Cun is talking about the Chinese Mutual Aid Association that Lao Li has in Xibu?” Mr. An was the first to speak.
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but take a high look.
“You know him?”
"Well, he sent someone to contact me some time ago and invited me to join, but he happened to be ill at that time and was bedridden. He thought he would wait until he recovered before replying, but unexpectedly he was delayed. But Lao Li borrowed a hundred Tons of food, only half of it is ready," Mr. An said with a sigh on his face.
Old fox!
Cun Yunsheng squinted his eyes and saw through the meaning of the other party's words at a glance.
It’s not that I was not optimistic that the Sichuan Army could capture Lashio at the beginning, so I didn’t want to agree, but I didn’t refuse directly, and I only agreed to part of the request.
Anyway, no one can be offended if it is the main one.
This is the way of life for a truly wealthy family.
Eggs are not placed in one basket, nor will any party be offended.
However, the Chinese Mutual Aid Association is still very weak and cannot kill everyone with one stick.
After all, he must understand that the main contradiction at this stage is the Japanese army.
The second step is to unite all those who can be united.
Mr. An is a very good person to unite with, and can just expand the influence of the Chinese Mutual Aid Association.
As long as the other party agrees to join, the Chinese in northern Myanmar will soon be able to form a rope.
Can spread even further.
At that time, the Japanese army will suffer.
So many guerrillas trained by Long Wenwen are not just for free.
Thinking of this, Cun Yunsheng showed a kind smile.
“It’s not too late. Mr. An seems to be doing well, so why not join the Chinese Mutual Aid Association today? The future development of Lashio will be decided by the Chinese Mutual Aid Association.”
Hearing this, Mr. An was stunned. He didn't expect that he would be caught by a young boy.
If you don't agree to this, wouldn't it mean that you don't think highly of the other party?
But I agreed!
What will happen when the Japanese army comes back in the future?
After all, there are two regiments to the north.
"What? Mr. An looks down on the Chinese Mutual Aid Association." Cun Yunsheng stared at the other party and asked in a somewhat unkind tone.
“I don’t know, what price do we need to pay for this Chinese Mutual Aid Association?” Mr. An took a deep breath. He knew that if he didn’t agree today, the soldiers would probably raid his home soon.
As mentioned before, no one can bear the charge of colluding with the Japanese army and murdering allied soldiers.
“There is no price, just follow the arrangements of the Chinese Mutual Aid Association. Of course, you will also get certain benefits.”
“Now Lashio City is in ruins and waiting for reconstruction. If you are interested, you can participate in the reconstruction work. Some streets can be allocated to you in due course. This will be regarded as your compensation.”
“Don’t worry, the land deed you get will be stamped with the seal of the Allied Forces Command.” Cun Yunsheng said calmly.
He knew that these people would never be easily persuaded without offering some benefits.
He also needs to use these people to help him expand his business territory.
This is related to many aspects, such as the logistical supplies needed for military expansion and how to create obstacles for the Japanese army.
I want to change it later!
