Chapter 1080, the mainland bridge corps attack
Hearing the three words "Teacher Wu", Wu Shaoting remembered his nephew, so he asked again: "Does Commander Wu have any suggestions?"
He Fuguang immediately said: "After the ** division headed north, Commander Wu deliberately left the division's cultural department to station in Phnom Penh, and ordered the Ministry of Culture to find members of the royal family of the Norodom family as soon as possible."
Wu Shaoting nodded slowly and sighed in his heart: It seems that this nephew is indeed a dedicated person. He smiled and said, "It is obvious that his intention should be to depose Sisova's throne and replace it with members of the royal family of the Norodom family to succeed the throne of the king."
He Fuguang said: "Yes, I actually think it is more beneficial to us. The Sisova family has always been radicals, and these two generations of kings are all puppets cultivated by the French. On the contrary, the Norodom family is the orthodox blood of King Anton and a typical conservative royal family. It is easier to accept the idea of restoring the country and guarantee the interests of our China."
Wu Shaoting said: "It's very good, just do it. Send someone to pick up Sisova to Hue, and then send additional personnel to the Khmer to contact Piao Tianwenxue, "The Head of State, it's been three days since the time has passed, and there is no movement on the British side, which seems a bit wrong."
Wu Shaoting seemed very calm. He said calmly: "There is nothing wrong with this. Britain always has to say hello to the Japanese first, ensure coordination and cooperation, etc. It is impossible for Britain to start a blind war. One fights the east side and the other fights the west side, which will make a joke. But I believe there should be something happening in North Korea."
He Fuguang sighed and said worriedly: "Anyway, we must deal with it carefully this time. I have to say that we really annoyed the British, otherwise they would not have designed the raid so seriously."
Of course Wu Shaoting knew this, but no matter what, it is now done. Only by winning this war can the Republic of China be truly established as the world power. Suddenly, he thought of another thing and then said, "By the way, Guangxi sent a telegram the afternoon before yesterday that Li Xiushan's South Asian Continent Bridge First Corps has been reorganized. How do you plan to use this force?"
He Fuguang replied: "If we want to speed up the progress of the South Asian battlefield, the war in Siam will definitely require more troops. Siam has many soldiers, and is close to the British Straits colony, and it is an important transportation hub connecting Myanmar and the Malay Islands. Whether it is the British or the French, they will definitely not take it lightly."
Wu Shaoting nodded and agreed that geographically, Siam is indeed a well-connected hub in South Asia. According to the intelligence department's six months of investigation and detectives, the local army of Siam can be said to be the most formal force among all South Asian countries, and is also the most friendly force of British and French countries, and even has a firm political stance than the Myanmar army.
This can be seen from Dewudun's defense that neither Vietnam nor Khmer nor Myanmar nor Siam responded quickly and was huge in scale. He gathered 40,000 troops here in one go. In addition, Wu Shaoting originally planned to completely embezzle Siam, which means that the Siam people must be completely defeated, so that the Siam people cannot turn over. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that the battle in Siam will inevitably take a period of time and will not be too easy.
"Chongshi, what do you mean is to send the First Continental Bridge Corps to reinforce Siam?"
"That's right, that's exactly what it means. Whether it's attack or stable post-war rule, we must not invest too little troops in Siam. Since the Continental Bridge Corps is specially set up for the South Asian War, it should be truly opened to the South Asian Continental Bridge." He Fuguang said directly.
"Very good, then do it according to this meaning. The logistics and support work of the First Corps of the Mainland Bridge must be done well, so that Li Xiushan can join the battle as soon as possible. As the same goes, the faster the progress of the South Asian battlefield, the better." Wu Shaoting explained.
Subsequently, the two explained some speculations about the overall situation of the South Asian War and issues after the war, including the embezzlement of Laos and Siam, the instigation of the Chinese in the Malay Islands to launch the ** movement, etc. Just after noon, He Fuguang stood up and said goodbye, returned to the theater command to prepare some military mobilization orders.
Not long after He Fuguang left, Wang Changling rushed to the head of state's office with a hurried look on his face and knocked on the door.
After entering the office, Wang Changling did not wait for Wu Shaoting to ask, and immediately said first: "First of the People's Republic of China, the War Situation Bureau has collected the latest information about the British army's forces."
Wu Shaoting's eyes lit up and he asked quickly: "What's going on with the British army?"
Wang Changling handed the documents to Wu Shaoting, and said: "Four months ago, Britain secretly established a legion in Australia. It is said that its troops are about 100,000, all of which are reserve forces recruited from Australia, New Zealand and Canada, equipped with American equipment. The British internal call this legion the French legion. According to our speculation, it may be because their supreme commander was named French. We compared the personnel transfers on the battlefields of the British local and French, and confirmed that John French, the former commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force, was secretly transferred overseas four months ago."
While looking at the documents in his hand, Wu Shaoting muttered in his mouth: "John French? Britain has really invested a lot this time. First, Marshal Douglas Hegel, and now Marshal John French. We have welcomed two British Field Marshals in Asia."
Wang Changling then said: "Not only that, our US agents investigated that the UK secretly sold a batch of treasury bonds worth 30 million pounds to the United States four months ago. At the same time, the UK Standard Chartered Bank headquarters transferred 20 million pounds of funds to the Citibank headquarters in February this year. Basically, our intelligence analysts speculated that the total 50 million pounds of funds was all invested in the funds used by the French Legion for combat."
Wu Shaoting nodded slowly. The exchange rate of the pound in this era is about one to ten, and the value of one pound is not to mention. Fifty million pounds is enough to build a huge fleet within ten years. He said thoughtfully: "This is not a small amount, and the next battle is difficult."
Wang Changling continued: "I received news yesterday at the Busan Port, North Korea that the vanguard of the French Legion and a batch of strategic supplies had been disembarked at the Busan Port. It can be seen that the British are really going to start from southern North Korea."
Wu Shaoting was silent for a moment, then ordered solemnly: "Transfer the information and prepare the North Korean side."
Wang Changling said: "It has been sent out."
Wu Shaoting said in a serious tone again: "The intelligence work cannot be relaxed. I don't know the exact movements of the French Legion for a day, so I have to watch it for me all day."
Wang Changling nodded and said, "Yes."
