Chapter 840 Lend-Lease

After the Japanese broke through this only position, the interrogation revealed that they had reinforcements on the way.

Nakajima Imago and Okamura Ningji discussed, they felt that instead of waiting, it would be better to open the passage to the beach directly, and the first year of junior high school was still afraid of fifteen? So Xing did not stop doing anything, and opened up to the Vietnamese border, so that there was a way to retreat, and their navy did not have to go around Australia, and they could get in touch with the fleet directly in front of Malacca.

It was decided, leaving a division to build a position on Savage Mountain, blocking the advance army that might come to attack, and keeping this passage continuous, while sending a telegram to Hideki Tojo, telling him to move closer to this side, and if necessary, he could break through from here and board the warship,

The defeated troops were not completely annihilated, which also made the news proudly transmitted, so the British and French headquarters both thought that they should lower their posture at this time, and didn't the advance army say that they would enter and strangle this Japanese army? Rather than letting the Japanese burn and loot, it is better to let the extremely restrained advance army stay in the territory, and even if they do not leave, they will have a chance to recover the colony that is not ruined.

Henry hesitated for a moment with the telegram, and he knew that only the advance army around here could deal with the unknown number and extremely strong Japanese army. As for whether the advance army will stay on its turf, when Germany is defeated and Europe is stabilized, the situation in the Far East will be easy to say, at least the United States, which occupies Luzon, will not be able to sit idly by and watch the Japanese army become strong, otherwise, Japan's oil fields will be red and urgently needed.

Sun Tao was at his residence wondering whether to send electricity to Liu Chengcheng and told him that he was going to turn against the British, when the guards suddenly reported that Henry wanted to see him.

Why is Henry here again?

Sun Tao pondered, then walked out of the room and greeted him personally.

When Henry saw Sun Tao taking it out as always, he couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved. At least at present, this guy has no intention of tearing his face, and he still maintains the most basic politeness.

"Ha Lu Ha! General Sun, I suddenly remembered that your army had helped us so much, and I didn't want military expenses, and as a representative, I didn't even invite a meal. That's too much to say. No, I'm here to invite General Sun for a drink, don't give me a chance. ”

Henry's words made Sun Tao pause slightly, and then smiled: "Ah...... Ha Lu Ha! Mr. Henry, you are too polite, how can you still remember this little thing, but let you say this, it would be too shameful for me not to go, so Sun will bother you? ”

The two hugged their friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. Immediately, under the protection of Sun Tao's guard battalion, he went straight to the restaurant.

Sun Tao saw that the restaurant had taken off the sign, and couldn't help but wonder to himself, this product was about to explode just now, why did he charter the restaurant in advance and invite him to dinner? Which one is this singing?

The two of them went to the restaurant with hip-hop without a match, and then the tea was served, and they chatted endlessly. Henry didn't say, and Sun Tao didn't ask. The two of them really came to drink, waiting for the dishes to come up in the empty restaurant.

Henry also held his breath, until the wine had passed three rounds and the dishes had passed five flavors, then he put down the red wine glass in his hand and said, "General Sun, thank you for inviting you to drink." Second, didn't you say before that your army was going to hunt down the Japanese army in India and Burma, I don't know when you will go? ”

"Ah, yes, we are going, the oath of our advance army is to hunt down and kill all the Japanese troops who have set foot on the land of China by force. Even to the ends of the earth, they will be killed. ”

Sun Tao didn't know what this product meant, so he didn't say anything, paused, didn't wait for Henry to pick up, and continued: "Our army has been rushing to Yunnan in a steady stream, and now it has reached the vicinity of Kunming, and in one day at most, it can reach the border, and after the supply line is stable within three days, it can enter the country and march to India." ”

"Oh...... That's ......"

Henry took a bite of food and took the opportunity to ponder, Shaoqing said: "The Japanese army has entered India, which will have reached Burma, if your army wants to destroy this Japanese army, it must be as soon as possible, otherwise they will escape once they break through to the coast." ”

Oh yes......

Sun Tao understood Henry's words, it turned out that he couldn't stand it, and he was just clamoring to make up for it, and he could solve it himself, so he would come to ask for help?

"Huh!? How fast did the Japanese army move? ”

Sun Tao looked at Henry in surprise and asked, "Isn't that the place of your country?" Why, there is no organized resistance in your country? ”

Henry's old face turned red secretly, and he coughed and said: "I think General Sun also knows that in Europe, we have declared war with Germany, and all our energy is focused there, and there are no thousands of garrisons here, plus we have to defend Malacca, so ......"

"Oh......"

Sun Tao suddenly realized, and then said: "In this way, I will establish a supply line within a week, attack immediately, and directly enter from Yunnan." ”

As soon as he heard Sun Tao say that it would take another week, Henry was a little breathless, and hurriedly said: "General Sun, I'm afraid that the Japanese army will withdraw in a week, and we can't reach it, and it is estimated that there will be no need for your army to enter the country to chase and kill, in my opinion, the teeth will move quickly, and if it is late, it will change, and everyone will be polished, you don't have a battleship yet, and you have wasted the opportunity." ”

"......"

Sun Tao swallowed his words again, and under Henry's somewhat anxious gaze, he groaned and said: "Mr. Henry, you see, we are fighting on multiple fronts, North Korea has just finished fighting, and the Ural Mountains are there, and Soviet Russia is also ready to move, so I have less than 30,000 veterans in my hands, and according to our intelligence, at least 400,000 Japanese troops have entered the country, which is also the reason why I have recruited troops along the way, and these recruits need at least a month of intensive training, so ......"

Yes? 30,000 veterans?

This number surprised Henry, and he suddenly understood why Sun Tao's army did not attack for a long time after making a move to chase and kill, and it turned out to be temporarily cramming to train recruits. He believed what Sun Tao said, because the advance army is indeed like this now, to guard against Soviet Russia, which they hated and bitten, and to guard North Korea, which is close to the enemy, which requires an expedition of labor, and there is indeed a shortage of people.

"Is there anything I can help with?" Henry saw that Sun Tao wanted to speak and stopped, and asked hesitantly.

"This is also something I want to discuss with your country."

Sun Tao sat up straight, sorted out his thoughts and said: "Ambassador Henry, you know, I have already transferred half of the troops in Shanghai to follow the movement of the army, and the total number is only 50,000, and the troops in Shanghai have to take care of the supply lines along the line, so the strength of the battle is only 30,000, and the training of recruits cannot be carried out along the way, and there is no place for the advance army to settle in the Central Plains, so I want to lease Hong Kong to train recruits, and by the way, it will be used as a supply transfer station." ”

"Lend-lease?"

Henry's head was big for a while. It's Lend-Lease on my side, is this a disgusting empire for the advance army?

Sun Tao didn't wait for Henry to speak, and then said: "Our lease is not long, half a year is enough, and we will all withdraw from Hong Kong after half a year, I believe that we will also complete the pursuit at that time." ”

Half......

Henry's face was cloudy, he couldn't be the master, but he knew that whether he rented or not, the advance army would not leave Hong Kong immediately.

"Then your army has leased the training ground, when will it send troops?"

"If Hong Kong and Macau settle for lend-lease, we can attack tomorrow! 30,000 troops can't eat the Japanese army, but they can stop them from escaping to the sea! When the recruits can go to the battlefield and fight the Japanese army in two months, I believe that it will not take too long, and the speed of the advance army's attack I think Mr. Ambassador should believe that it will not be too slow. ”

Sun Tao said confidently.

"Okay, I'll ask for instructions on this matter immediately, I just hope that your army can attack as soon as possible." Henry said through gritted teeth.

The two chatted for a while, and left after eating in a hurry.

Henry returned to his residence, suppressed his anger, first sent a telegram to the mainland to explain the situation, and then received a reply from the local, as long as the advance army sent troops, it would not matter if Hong Kong was temporarily leased.

Churchill knew very well that he still had a chance to get it back if other countries, such as the United States, took the opportunity to make some moves, and he didn't even have a chance to get it back. At this time, the German attack was imminent, and they already had accurate information, and he did not care about the Far East and South Asia at all. Otherwise, how could he declare war without Japan?

After receiving a reply from the headquarters, the Portuguese officials contacted the Portuguese officials and explained the situation, but the Portuguese officials did not know what they meant by the advance force of the Ludao Province to rent Macao, but the British agreed, he had no helpers, and he did not dare to take Macao, which had already been held in the hands of the advance army.

For the same reason, the situation in Europe is tense, and they are even more stupid and unwilling to send troops, so since Britain has agreed to the lend-lease, there is no need for them to tear their faces now, and when Europe is stable, they will come together, I believe it is better than Japan, and besides, there is still Japan's revenge to be avenged, so why should the army move to this side.

Sure enough, the headquarters quickly replied and agreed to temporarily lease it to the advance army, anyway, it is no longer under control, so it is better to postpone the study.

Henry was in a hurry, if he hadn't asked the advance army to send troops as soon as possible, he wouldn't have called the Portuguese to help the advance army as lobbyists.

It was not an hour before Sun Tao returned to his residence when Henry and Portuguese officials arrived......

signed a loan agreement, Sun Tao was so happy in his heart. At least he won't have to tear his face with the British, two million pounds on loan for half a year, he can already stay there in a dignified manner, half a year, all the defenses, including the port, are perfected, and if they want to go back, they are gone! There are two big shipyards in Hong Kong! There is also one in Macau, although it is not large, but the 20,000-ton dry ship yard and maintenance berths can still be used, and these have not been destroyed.

He really admired Mr. for this, these were all things that Mr. had foreseen a long time ago, and even thought of Britain agreeing to lend-lease. If he didn't have the patience to spend with the Japanese army and the British, he would have torn his face a long time ago.

He's excited here, he can finally stop marching, and he can finally go to war. On the other side of the ocean, Dong Ku stared at the map spread out by No. 5 and pondered, his brows furrowed. (To be continued......)
