Chapter 181 Don’t forget the soldiers of the expeditionary army who were tricked to death! (Second update!)
“Shall I be a teacher?” Meng’s father looked at the other party in surprise. He couldn’t believe it. Someone asked him to be a teacher. This was a long time ago.
"What? Isn't it possible? If you weren't older, I would have prepared you to be an engineer, but I think it would be good to be a teacher." Cun Yunsheng chuckled.
“Isn’t it that the old man has no confidence?”
“I’m an old man, and the provoking method is of no use to me.”
"But you're right, it's very good. I just use my knowledge to teach and educate people. If I don't educate my children well, it's my fault." Meng's father shook his head and said.
Who knows, Cun Yunsheng denied his view.
“Old man, each generation has its own responsibility. Our generation is to finish the war and let the next generation study hard and build the country.”
“Born in troubled times, these books alone cannot save everyone, we can only rely on guns, but the next generation of children need to use knowledge to build the country.”
“Our country has suffered too many disasters, but I believe that one day we will stand on top of the world again.”
After listening to Cun Yunsheng's words, Meng's father was silent. In fact, he also knew that books alone could not save everyone, only guns.
This is the reason why Meng Fan was a soldier and he did not blame him.
Thinking of this, Meng's father sighed.
"Sir, you are right. I agreed to your request. I will educate those children for you and use all my knowledge."
With these words, Cun Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, Meng's father's knowledge was still good.
In their time, people could study abroad at public expense, and they were studying mechanics, which was definitely not easy.
At this time, Meng Fangliao also led others to wrap the books in kraft paper.
Had it not been for the large number of people I was carrying, I would have been exhausted to death with the thousands of kilograms of books.
It’s no wonder that the original author, Meng Fan, ended up having another quarrel because of these books.
“Tuanzuo, you’re not asking my father to teach, are you?” Meng Fangli asked after arranging everything.
“Hey, how did you know?” Cun Yunsheng asked with a smile.
"Are you still guessing? He only has that little value left, and you won't support idle people." Meng Fangli curled his lips and said with disdain.
“Haha, then why don’t I just keep you as a cripple?” Cun Yunsheng joked.
Hearing this, Meng Fanlao rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
“The little bookworm has complained to me more than once that there are too many students and not enough teachers. He asked me to find a way to get some teachers.” Cun Yun sighed.
“We, the Sichuan Army Corps, are all a bunch of rough guys, and you are the only ones who have gone to school, so we can’t let you teach and educate people, right?”
“So after thinking about it, your father is the most suitable one. He should study abroad and study mechanics. As long as we can train a few mechanical masters, we can also establish our own industrial system.”
Hearing this, Meng Fangliao looked at the other party in surprise.
“Is it the same industrial system as that of the great powers?”
“Of course, if you don’t have your own industrial system, you are still at the mercy of others.” Cun Yunsheng said in a deep tone.
“Okay, let your dad have something to do so that he can save you trouble. This is also for your own good.”
“We have a lot to do next. Li Wula sent me a telegram. The Thai army has assembled heavy troops at the border. It seems that they are preparing to return in revenge.”
“Just in time, Stilwell’s appointment has also come down. Let us continue to attack eastward and force Siam to surrender. In this way, the Japanese army will lose an ally, and the situation in Southeast Asia will also change.”
"Send a company to **** your father and his companions back. We still need to get to Lashio, where we will take a plane to Imphal and urge Stilwell. The weapons supply should be in place."
“Yes, Tuanzuo.”
…
Cun Yunsheng, who has just arrived in Lashio, can’t help but sigh with emotion as he looks at the city that is gradually returning to life.
Especially on both sides of the road, houses visible to the naked eye are being built rapidly.
Obviously, the pain of war will soon be healed over time.
“Tuanzuo, the machines sent by the Germans are all in the warehouse.” Li Sifu, who was left behind, said respectfully when he saw Cun Yunsheng.
“It seems like these German guys are pretty trustworthy.” Cun Yunsheng didn’t expect that just over ten days had passed, and all the machinery and equipment had been delivered.
I have to say that at this point, the Germans are still very trustworthy.
With these machinery and equipment, civilian factories can be opened.
The refugees will have a job and their anxious hearts will calm down.
Everything is developing in a prosperous direction.
Cun Yunsheng is still very happy. Although his current strength is still very weak, he believes that it won't be long before everyone will look at him with admiration.
“It’s a pity that there are still too few hydroelectric generators.” Looking at the two hydroelectric generators on the list, Cun Yunsheng said with some regret.
You must know that the most abundant water resources here are water resources. It would be a pity not to use them.
But it is really inconvenient to transport this thing, and the Suez Canal is also occupied by the British army. It is impossible for the German army to transport large machinery.
So his current list is mainly civilian equipment, but he believes that it will be broken soon.
“Tuanzuo, take it step by step. At least we are very strong now.” Meng Fangliao comforted.
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng sighed inwardly but said nothing.
Only he knows that if he cannot expand his advantage this season, he may have to pay a higher price if he wants to rise again.
Afterwards, Cun Yunsheng made some simple arrangements and flew to Imphal on a transport plane without stopping.
Imphal was busier than ever at this time. With the Japanese army's crazy westward advance, air transportation here became even busier.
Hundreds of soldiers were sent to Imphal every day and then reorganized.
The strength of the New First Army also continued to increase, heading towards 20,000 people.
At the same time, a large amount of art equipment arrived in the mountain city via shipping routes.
"Congratulations, Cun, you have eliminated two more regiments." As soon as they met, Stilwell looked at Cun Yunsheng with a smile.
“This is the Medal of Merit you applied for.” With that, Stilwell put it on Cun Yunsheng himself.
Looking at the medal on his chest, Cun Yunsheng curled his lips inwardly.
It would be more practical to give him one hundred thousand dollars.
But you still have to pretend to be happy.
"Thank you, General Stilwell, this honor is half of yours." Cun Yunsheng flattered him casually, making Stilwell happy.
“Hahahaha, thanks to you, I also have a medal.”
"General Stilwell, this is the combat experience I summarized in mountain warfare." Cun Yunsheng knew that what Stilwell really cared about was this combat experience, and the rest were all fake. So I didn’t hesitate and took the initiative to hand over this combat experience.
As expected, after receiving this report, Stilwell smiled even more.
“Cun, you are indeed an excellent commander.”
Cun Yunsheng pretended not to hear Stilwell's praise, but talked about things he cared about.
“General Stilwell, now that all the Japanese troops in northern Burma have been cleared, is the Sichuan Army’s next mission to attack eastward, or to go south and completely eliminate the Japanese troops?”
Although it has been discussed before, Cun Yunsheng wanted to ask again because he was afraid that Stilwell would regret it.
"As for the south, I'm afraid it won't work for the time being. Admiral Wavell has not relented. He still firmly disagrees with your going south." During this period, Stilwell also approached General Wavell, but he did not agree with the Sichuan Army at all. .
Even though the British army is in a lot of trouble now, they are not willing to let the Sichuan Army go south.
So there was no other way. Stilwell could only retreat and decided to let the Sichuan Army continue to advance eastward.
Execute the previously formulated battle plan.
"This is a letter of appointment. You are a task force directly under the Allied Forces Command. You will be the commander of this task force and will be fully responsible for the war in the east. The only goal is to force Siam to surrender." General Stilwell has already been prepared. The letter of appointment was handed to Cun Yunsheng.
Looking at the seal of the Allied Forces Command in his hand, Cun Yunsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. With it, the next thing will become justifiable.
"What about the Vichy French colonies? Are they also within the scope of the attack?" Cun Yunsheng hesitated for a moment and asked again.
"If they choose to break away from Vichy France, they can be allowed to surrender, otherwise they will be our enemies." Stilwell thought for a while and said.
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng showed a smile on his face.
“General Stilwell, I think it is entirely possible to make the Vichy French colonies independent.”
“Huh?” Stilwell was stunned and asked in confusion.
“General Stilwell, the war will eventually end, and the United States, with the most powerful industrial power in the world, will definitely be the final winner.”
“As mentioned before, the United States can completely become the overlord of the New World, and these colonial systems of the Old World should also completely collapse.”
“In the new world, this kind of colonial approach will only disgust more people.” Cun Yunsheng’s deception made Stilwell’s eyes light up.
Last time, he summarized Cun Yunsheng’s remarks and sent them back to the White House.
As a result, the response from the White House was surprisingly unanimous, allowing him to focus on this Cun Yunsheng.
At the same time, more support can be provided.
To put it bluntly, those in the White House also became interested in what Cun Yunsheng said.
After all, who doesn’t want the status of world hegemon?
Otherwise, as Cun Yunsheng said, after the war is over and nothing is gained, what is the point of joining this war?
Is it just like the last war? After the war is over, everything has nothing to do with them?
“Your proposal is good, but it is indeed necessary to return the freedom of the colonial people.”
“Then I will leave all this to you for the time being, and I will give you greater support.”
"When you came, there were already ten transport planes carrying a large amount of weapons flying to Lashio. We will not be stingy with our friends." Stilwell said with a smile.
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng showed an excited expression on his face.
In fact, I felt disdain in my heart.
How many weapons can be given to ten transport planes?
Three regiments?
Enough for what?
But on the surface, you still need to pretend to be moved, after all, you still have to hug the thigh in front of you.
"General Stilwell, why didn't you see Admiral Wavell?" Cun Yunsheng deliberately pretended not to know.
Hearing this, Stilwell sighed, and then said helplessly.
“The Japanese army suddenly advanced westward, disrupting the deployment of the British army. Now General Wavell has gone to the rear to supervise the battle.”
“In order to help the British army deal with this Japanese army as soon as possible, I have decided to dispatch a new army to support it.”
The New First Army has been replenished to about 20,000 people. After being equipped with beautiful weapons and equipment, its combat effectiveness has been continuously improved.
Coupled with General Wavell's several requests for reinforcements, Stilwell had no choice but to transfer half of the New First Army to the west to reinforce the British army.
Under attack from both front and rear, I believe we are not far away from annihilating the Japanese army.
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng squinted his eyes, seeming to think of something, and then complimented.
“General Stilwell is wise, and I believe that under your leadership, the Allies will eventually win.”
Even though he knew it was flattering, Stilwell still looked happy.
After another discussion, Cun Yunsheng left the headquarters.
“Tuanzu, do you want to take a plane back directly?” Meng Fanglia looked at Cun Yunsheng and asked.
"No, let's go to the new 38th Division headquarters. I want to talk to Sun Liren." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and looked out the window.
“Looking for him?” Meng Fan was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.
"There are some things that I need to discuss with him." Cun Yunsheng asked a riddle, which made Meng Nuan curious for a while.
But he also knows that there are some things that you shouldn’t know, so you shouldn’t ask.
When he arrived at the headquarters of the newly formed 38th Division, Cun Yunsheng successfully met Sun Liren.
There is no way, who made Cun Yunsheng famous now.
It can be said that Cun Yunsheng was even crowned as the most skilled commander in the expeditionary force.
No matter how much water there is, at least the Sichuan Army won all the battles it fought.
So, when Sun Liren saw Cun Yunsheng, he seemed very polite.
"General Sun." As soon as Cun Yunsheng opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Sun Liren.
"Stop calling me General Sun. I'm a few years older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Sun or Brother Fumin. It doesn't matter."
“In front of you, being called General Sun feels like you are here to embarrass me.”
Seeing this, Cun Yunsheng said directly without any pretense.
“Okay, then I’ll call you Brother Sun, and listen to what General Stilwell says. Are you going to transfer to the Western Front to support the British army?”
"Yes." Sun Liren was not surprised that the other party knew this. After all, who didn't know that Cun Yunsheng was Stilwell's favorite.
"The defense line established by the British army barely blocked the Japanese attack, but the servant troops attacked everywhere, causing the British army to suffer miserably. Therefore, General Stilwell ordered the New First Army to move west immediately to support the British army and strive to annihilate the Japanese army. "After speaking, Sun Liren's eyes flashed with a burning fighting spirit.
"Brother Sun, I suggest you that it is best to fight passively." Cun Yunsheng said meaningfully.
“Why?” Sun Liren frowned slightly and asked in confusion.
"Don't forget, those brothers of the expeditionary force who were tricked to death by the British army. It's unpleasant to say that this is a battle between the British army and the Japanese army. We have no need and are trying too hard." Cun Yunsheng finished speaking and pointed at those soldiers. The soldiers of the expeditionary force who were tricked to death by the British army.
