Chapter 715: Arms embargo and robbery again
"Yunnan has been controlled by the vanguard army, and the agreement on the Burma-Yunnan Road signed is not a bit of empty talk," Luo Zhuoying sighed
That agreement was signed by Chongqing, and although it also bears the name of Huaxia, if the vanguard army obstructs it, even if it is delayed, the fate of the 100,000 expeditionary force that has already entered Burma will be very miserable
"Anyway, the British and Americans have already given us a lot of supplies, what are you afraid of, let's fight the devil first," Du Yuming raised his eyebrows and said
The vanguard army also extended an olive branch to him several times, although he was strongly co-opted by the old Jiang, and he has not been able to bear to live up to the cultivation of President Jiang, but he has a good relationship with the vanguard army, and he knows a lot about the vanguard army, and he is not too worried that since he has gone abroad, he must first play the prestige of the Chinese army
He is not like Luo Zhuoying, who takes into account the political problems in Chongqing, he only cares about the problem of logistics and materials
Hearing that Yunnan had been recovered, half of the porters and logistics personnel of the accompanying troops had run away, and many supplies were still piled up in Yunnan, and they were all confiscated by the vanguard army because they had not had time to transport them
However, Britain and the United States have already provided enough weapons, ammunition, and other materials, and as long as the expeditionary force arrives in Mandalay, it will basically be able to complete its equipment and medicines, and there will also be timely replenishment of US aid, so there is no need to worry about it in the short term
"Fighting in a foreign country, without the support of the country behind me, I always feel empty in my heart" Luo Zhuoying glanced at him, the deputy commander, and continued to sigh
He was worried about the morale of the military
As soon as they left the country, their homesickness became more and more serious, and after hearing the news of the vanguard coming, the minds of many soldiers in the expeditionary force had already flown away, and if it were not for the officer's bullet pressure, I am afraid that they would have withdrawn to join the vanguard army long ago
Luo Zhuoying could only barely maintain the army at this time, waiting for news from Chongqing
He also has no good way to continue to move forward, that is, if a lone army that has left his hometown returns, and the vanguard army blocks the way to retreat, it will be difficult to return to Sichuan
Chongqing's instructions to "continue to fight with the British" soon came, but Luo Zhuoying was frowning with the telegram
He has been paying attention to a lot of information in Chongqing during this period of time, and he knows that Chongqing is also being forced to be anxious
The vanguard army's army not only captured Yunnan this time, but also directly broke through the southern danger with the help of airborne, stretched its hand into Sichuan, and even advanced all the way to the Emei area
The difficulty of the Shu Road seemed to have lost its effect in the face of the powerful air force of the vanguard army, which made many people who were still a little hesitant immediately lose confidence in Chongqing, and took refuge in the vanguard army, if it were not for Lao Chiang, who took urgent measures and used British and American assistance to arm the army, dealt with Tian Songyao, Liu Xihou, Liu Wenhui and other Sichuan warlords by thunderous means, and shocked everyone, I am afraid that Chongqing would have dispersed long ago
But it was this turmoil that made Lao Chiang make up his mind to continue to cling to the British and Americans, even if the entire expeditionary force of 100,000 troops was filled in Burma, in exchange for British and American funds and weapons assistance, it would be enough
……
"Lao Jiang is still not giving up, he is really stubborn," Meng Xiang heard about a series of changes in Chongqing, and just said lightly, and ordered the announcement of the domestic arms embargo to be released
No sovereign country will allow foreign arms dealers to unscrupulously smuggle arms on their own territory
Although Lao Chiang was trapped in Sichuan, when he used to stay in Yunnan, he could be trafficked from Burma, and the original umbrella company and others also relied on this road of arms smuggling to squeeze British and American weapons aside
Surrounded by land, they wanted to impose an arms embargo, which was more complete than the blockade of China by the United States in later generations
In the sea of the people's war instigated by the vanguard army, as many weapons as smuggled from outside can be confiscated, and Britain and the United States will not risk offending the vanguard army and directly confront Chongqing
The source of weapons from the outside world has been sealed up, and the military industry inside Sichuan has been in decline for a long time
The vanguard army has hooked up all kinds of military industrial talents, and even some machinery to its own territory, except for those tattered gun repair shops, it is no longer realistic to want to produce weapons and ammunition by itself, with the cheap supply of the umbrella, it is far more convenient to produce it by itself, and the Chongqing government has lost the last of its own funds
The Chongqing government could not afford the public fees, and the higher authorities could only support a large number of bureaucrats, and the chemical and iron and steel industries had long been abandoned, and those private enterprises had already turned to the territory of the vanguard army outside
"Even if you report the thighs of Britain and the United States, and get a lot of dollars and pounds, it doesn't matter if you can't hold a weapon, what is the use? Really use broadswords and spears to fight? This time, Lao Jiang should be a little self-aware? Meng Xiang put Lao Jiang aside easily in his heart
To be honest, even if the weapons channel is opened, Chongqing's troubled economy can't buy too many weapons, compared to the deal with the United Kingdom, the amount of the umbrella company's transaction in Chongqing really accounts for a fraction, according to Meng Xiang, "It's not as big as the result of me grabbing a handful"
Last year, the Umbrella Company traded more than $10 million in arms with Chongqing, and Meng Xiang had just grabbed a fortune of more than $50 million in gold and precious stones alone
"Natasha, well done" Meng Xiang never hesitated to praise these heroes with distinct personalities, not to mention that this time Natasha successfully completed the task and brought back a large amount of red wealth
As the Germans pressed in, the Russians were not only moving factories to safety, but also the wealth they had accumulated over the years
When the Germans pressed into Moscow, the enticing scent of the wealth accumulated in the Kremlin began to transfer the country's wealth to the cities of Gorky and Kuibyshev
Meng Xiang had become accustomed to the huge profits from plunder
Not to mention that he robbed the banks and factories of the Japanese when he started, even since the outbreak of World War II, Meng Xiang has repeatedly improved the strength of the vanguard army and Huaxia through looting
After the start of World War II, when countries evacuated their own wealth accumulated for hundreds of years, Meng Xiang had taken advantage of the fire to rob the Netherlands, France, Belgium, and even the British
Moreover, the huge amount of wealth obtained from robbery was not inferior to that of his arms trade, and the large number of machines and technologies exchanged for constituted the cornerstone of China's primitive accumulation
This time, when he heard about the changes in Soviet Russia's wealth, he also unceremoniously sent Natasha, and she led the spies and clone special forces to take advantage of the fire to rob again
In fact, when it comes to classic heroes such as Tanya and other Red Police, Meng Xiang has always been a little entangled, and their abilities do not seem to be reflected in the operation of large corps, although they are all very individual, much stronger than those relatively dull clones, but they are not very suitable for large-scale wars in terms of command ability, maybe Yuri is okay, but so far Meng Xiang has not noticed any signs of Yuri's appearance
Even if he did, he still needed to worry about the accident of Yuri's mutiny, and Meng Xiang didn't dare to put the command in his hands
Perhaps it is the relationship of Western worship, these heroes, as representatives of individual heroism, have strong personal ability, and are completely the demeanor of the king of soldiers
When the base entered the third level, Meng Xiang deliberately set aside more places for the special forces in the training center
During World War II, although there were already special forces, it was only after World War II that the concept of special forces became known to the general public
After entering the third level, the training of special forces personnel has suddenly increased, and they already have the appearance of later generations, which makes the ability of cloning special forces stand out all of a sudden
The special forces of the clone troops are mostly concentrated in the dragon tooth force around Meng Xiang, and Meng Xiang, who does not leave home, does not need so many guards around him, they have become the action team directly under Meng Xiang, especially Meng Xiang needs someone to do something unknown, needs a large number of elites, and needs absolute loyalty and reliability, the special forces of the clone soldiers are irreplaceable
And the heroes of Tanya and Natasha have become their leaders, whether it is leading the team or covering the personal actions of others, their alertness and strong personal ability have become the guarantee for completing the mission every time
This time, Natasha led more than 120 of the Dragon's Tooth Special Forces to infiltrate Soviet Russia and directly hijack a convoy of wealth transported from Moscow to Kuibyshev
A large number of gold bricks, gems and antiques handed down from the era of Tsarist Russia, the accumulation of national wealth is far from being comparable to individuals, and the total value of the wealth transported this time is estimated at 100 million US dollars
But Natasha's special forces hijacked the transport train and transferred a lot of wealth through the Black Hawk helicopter before the Russian soldiers surrounded them, leaving the Russians with only an empty overturned armed train
Now these huge fortunes transferred to the Hercules transport plane have not yet arrived in China, and Tanya, who is on a mission in Southeast Asia, has also sent a large amount of wealth transferred by Britain and the Netherlands, and the good news is to be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly passes, your support, is my biggest motivation
