Chapter 283: Layout

He returned to his residence to bathe and change his clothes, changed into a beautiful marshal's uniform, and then had breakfast with several generals in his small dining room, and arrived at his office on time at eight o'clock to work.

By the time Xu Jun sat down behind his huge special desk, the dutiful adjutant had placed a document in front of him. "This is the detailed report on the events of the conflict in French Indochina that has just been received, my Führer."

"What about the report from the Eye of Odin?" Xu Jun flipped through the folder and found that the report had been submitted by the special envoy.

"Wait a minute, I'll send it to you at once, my Führer." Tysenhowen turned and walked out of the office. After Xu Jun flipped through a page of documents, he picked up the special line phone at hand.

"Give me the staff office." Xu Jun held the earpiece in one hand and opened the drawer on the side with the other.

"General Weierle, come to me at once." Putting down the telephone receiver, Xu Jun took out a form from the drawer and put it on the table.

"This is the report you want, my Führer." Tysenhofen pushed open the door and walked in, handing a document to Xu Jun.

"Thanks, Eric, please make me another pot of tea."

"Okay, wait a minute, my Führer."

"Please come in, Miss Secretary, I've got some orders to issue in a moment."

"Yes, my Führer." Tysenhofen nodded respectfully, turned neatly and walked out of the office.

"It was so fierce that a brigade was completely annihilated." Xu Jun stood up and walked to the window of his office.

"But what does it matter, history has changed in my hands." The Reich Führer felt confident.

The balance of power in Southeast Asia is completely different from history because of Xu Jun's relationship. This apostle of God has changed the course of the history and the development of the world, and although it may not be obvious in some parts of the world for a short time, people will find that the whole world has changed dramatically because of him.

Originally, the power situation in Southeast Asia was such that the Netherlands occupied the richest resource producing area, but had the weakest force in the colonies. It was entirely up to Britain to provide protection, and the British claimed to be the "guardians" of the Dutch East Indies, and the corresponding Dutch East Indies government returned various resources and commercial benefits to the British in return.

Britain occupies Malaysia and Burma, firmly holding the South China Sea route, its ultimate purpose is to protect the security of the Indian continent, to say how much benefit the British Empire can get from these places, it is really the conscience of heaven and earth, except for the rubber plantations in Malaysia and the oil fields in Burma, the others can only be regarded as wild and fetters, but because it is related to the dignity of the empire on which the sun never sets. She will never give up on these places.

The French once wanted to build the Federation of French Indochina as an overseas province, and even almost gave the Vietnamese equal power with the French, in order to build the Federation of French Indochina, the French can be regarded as having invested a lot of money, just in the two years before the war, the French invested at least 90 million francs there, these investments are obviously not for charity for the Annanes, even De Gaulle, who held the cross of freedom high in history, also gritted his teeth and said that France would never give up this colony.

Historically, because of the defeat of France, it was impossible to raise its courage in front of the Japanese. He could only deceive himself and others while declaring his sovereignty while allowing the Japanese to do whatever they wanted in the colony, and was finally completely annexed by the Japanese, and the defenders were imprisoned in Japanese concentration camps. It can be said that the Gallic chicken suffered on its own and completely lost the face of France.

However, compared to France, the historical England and the Netherlands are not much better. The tragic Netherlands was left with only a government-in-exile, and the Dutch East Indies became the only territory in the queen's hands. In order to win over this colony, Wilhelmina was even ready to give it the same status as the mainland, and establish a Dutch alliance between the Netherlands and its overseas colonies. If it weren't for the fact that the Americans made a lot of small moves after the war, this brain hole almost really made her happen.

Yes, the Americans have made a lot of small moves in Southeast Asia, and in order to reduce the influence of European countries in Asia and achieve the goal of US domination in the Pacific, especially in order to isolate and weaken the relatives on which the sun never sets, Roosevelt organized and armed a large number of local nationalist forces in South Asia, and openly supported the independence of the colonies.

If you really think that this president is so fraternity and advocating freedom, then you are really too young and naïve, in fact, Roosevelt saw through the weakness of European countries at a glance, and has been beaten by the war, and after losing their overseas colonies, these old colonial empires were immediately beaten back to their original shape, and it is impossible to restore their heyday of national strength only by relying on local markets and resources, and in the face of the threat of the ironclad torrent of the powerful Soviet Union, they can only obediently kneel down to seek the protection of the United States, Although Roosevelt did not live to see this day, this strategic goal was still achieved during Truman's tenure.

However, now that the dominance of Europe is in the hands of Germany, of course it is impossible to watch this kind of thing happen, and the Southeast Asian issue not only involves the interests of European countries, but also directly affects the post-war world pattern. On the contrary, like those reactionary and decadent imperialists and colonialists, he will try his best to suppress the progressive forces of the colonies and suppress the ideas of local independence, so that at least until the war in Asia is extinguished, those "national elites" will have to live like gophers for a while.

What the United States was most worried about was that the British, French, and Dutch forces would unite to return to Asia, and if the three old European empires were serious, the fragile nationalist forces in the region would not be able to go through a single round. Now that there is no soil for this kind of problem in the history controlled by Xu Jun, the Netherlands and Britain have become allies, and France has become an iron-clad ally, at least when Germany still maintains the aura of invincibility in the world, there is no need to worry about any cracks in the alliance.

"My Führer." Wehrle pushed open the door and walked into Xu Jun's office, followed by Tysenhofen with a tea set and two shorthand secretaries.

"Sit down, Werle, and take a look at this." Xu Jun walked over to the desk and picked up the papers. It was handed to Weierle, who was sitting on the couch.

"Report from Field Marshal Bloomberg?" Weirle flipped through the document and read it carefully.

"It can already be confirmed that this was a premeditated invasion, and that it was not for accidental reasons such as disorientation, that they crossed the border of French Indochina directly, and that the goal of the march was directed at Dong Deng." Xu Jun sat on the sofa opposite Weierle, his legs folded, his fingers tapping rhythmically on his knees.

"Your tea." Tysenhofen put the report of the Eye of Odin in front of Xu Jun, and then made a cup of green tea for Xu Jun and Weierle.

After all this, the personal lieutenant sat down in a chair against the wall, and two stenographers beside him skillfully recorded the Führer's words and deeds on paper. After the meeting is signed by Xu Jun, it will be stored in the archives of the head of state's office as a record of the meeting.

"The evidence is clear that a protest can be made to the Japanese side, Eric, to draft a telegram to Ribbentrop. To Ribbentrop, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Third Reich, ordering the Reich Foreign Office to immediately submit a written protest to the Japanese ambassador in Berlin and to make solemn representations with him in the light of the unprovoked attack on the German armed forces by the Imperial Japanese troops on 12 September. The demands given by the Reich at the moment are, first, that Japan immediately make an official apology to the Third Reich for this incident, and second. To make corresponding compensation for the loss of Imperial personnel and materials in this incident, thirdly, the responsible person must be held accountable, and fourthly. Japan was asked to give assurances that nothing like this would happen again in the future. Germany reserves the right to pursue the matter and to warn the other side in particular. If Japan fails to give Germany a satisfactory answer, it may seriously affect the harmonious relations between the two countries. The Führer of the Greater German Reich, Reinhardt. Feng. Stadler at the headquarters of the Imperial High Command, September 13, 1940, at 8:30 a.m. Xu Jun finished speaking in one breath, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"It seems that we can put pressure on Japan in other ways, and my Führer, I very much agree with your decision that these fanatical minds must be cleared." Wehrle put down the papers and picked up the teacup.

"We can't put too many troops in that place, we can only draw a limited part of our troops to Southeast Asia on the basis of achieving an overall strategic posture. Our aim is more about deterrence, at least until the next war breaks out, to maintain stability in Asia and not allow it to deteriorate. ”

"Do you mean that it is necessary to rely mainly on the British and French themselves? In fact, I doubt their combat effectiveness on the ground. The French are a little better, judging from the report given by the Eye of Odin, the situation in the British-controlled colonies is very bad, all the locals hate the British, no, it should be said that they hate all Europeans, in this external environment, I think it is difficult for the British Army to make a difference. After saying that, Weierle frowned and drank tea.

"This is the result of a long period of over-exploitation and oppression of the natives by the British, and these brutal colonial officials and greedy plantation owners are all fools. The only value of this country at the moment is in terms of transportation, we must firmly control a strategic communication line across Southeast Asia, and the Yunnan-Burma Highway in Burma will play a very important role in our future trade with China. Xu Jun picked up the document of the Eye of Odin and began to look through it slowly.

"When it comes to the Burma Highway, we have some interesting information that the Chinese authorities in charge of the operation of the highway are said to have openly used vehicles under their control to transport smuggled goods to the point where even the British can't stand it."

"Official malfeasance, bloated structure, lack of proper supervision, this is their internal problem, and it should be their chairman who is in a hurry. It's really inexplicable that he is so keen to make a fortune. Xu Jun shook his head and flipped through the pages of the report, he didn't care that his Stadler consortium also made a fortune from the war, and now it is still making a lot of money, and he can't stop at all.

"The submarine force has arrived in Singapore."

"Mobilize two ships to be stationed in Haiphong Port, and make a little more noise, such as a welcome ceremony or something."

"The guard brigade needs to be replenished with personnel and equipment."

"This issue is handed over to the General Staff to deal with, how is the preparation of the army's support troops, the guard will follow the special envoy to China within a week."

"A standard infantry regiment has been prepared, ready to board in the port of Toulon and set off with the French support fleet, and it is expected that it will take two weeks to reach French Indochina at the earliest. Our troops have not been trained in the tropical jungles since the end of the last war, and we have important information on the Imperial Army's operations in the African bushes, but intelligence indicates that there and Asia are completely different environments. But compared to the dreaded African jungle, conditions in Asia are much better. ”

"So we're going to send a force to explore the area, to learn from the colonial army, to find out what tactics are right for us, Verrle, and I think the Eye of Odin should also send a task force to join the operation." Xu Jun flipped through the cigar box on the coffee table.

"It's up to you, my Führer." Wehrle bowed slightly in obedience.
