On July 16, a telegram was sent to the Lion City Naval Base in the Straits Colony. (_Bao & Book & Bar)

Major General Joseph, who had just returned to the Lion City three days ago, received a telegram. After reading it, he sighed helplessly. His hand holding the telegram gradually lost strength, and the telegram paper slid off his hand and fell to the ground.

Major Rohard, who was standing beside him, stepped forward and couldn't help asking, "Mr. General, what happened?"

Major General Joseph's face looked very painful, and he said hoarsely: "The Second and Third Divisions of the French Legion cannot return."

Rohard's face changed drastically. Although the Lion City has been discussing the plan to rescue the Second and Third Divisions during this period, he never expected that the two divisions had not even been able to hold on for half a month. He shook his head slightly and said in a serious tone: "This is really unfortunate. How could things develop to this extent?"

Major General Joseph was a little annoyed and said angrily: "Because the communication in Changchun was cut off, the Second Division and the Third Division could not contact us, so they had to take the risk of breaking through. If they could wait a few more days, our fleet would be driven over, and they could contact us even by radio. Oh, it's really..."

He wanted to curse a few words, but he thought that the responsibility was not entirely on the Second Division and the Third Division. They were just forced to make a wrong decision.

Rohard was silent for a while and said comfortingly: "General, this retreat is an adventure. Since it is an adventure, it is impossible to lose without losses. We have done our best in this war. We should be mentally prepared for some things as soon as possible."

Joseph nodded slowly, and now he could only comfort himself. After a while, he walked to the back of his desk and sat down, and said to Rohard: "Major, I hope you will set off for Bangkok as soon as possible. The representatives of Delhi will also arrive there in the next few days. Your task is to do a good job in reception."

Rohard asked in confusion: "Deuts of Delhi? Is there anything they have?"

Joseph sighed heavily and said, "What else can be done? These people wearing white shirts and sitting in the office naturally hope to show off their power afterwards so that they can show their existence. Humph, a group of ungrateful wolves!"

Rohad immediately understood what Joseph meant, and he said seriously: "Are they coming to ask for guilt at this time?"

Joseph nodded and said, "Anyway, you are the liaison officer of the French Legion, and it is most appropriate for you to deal with them. However, I hope you can try your best to put the blame on the Japanese and tell these ungrateful wolves that it was the Japanese's mistake that led to the failure of the strategy, so we decided to retreat."

Rohad hesitated for a moment and said, "But it seems too much." He has received a good gentleman education since childhood, and his mind is just a matter of turning around at this moment.

Joseph sat upright and said with a stern expression: "What's the problem? Chunchuan was originally the Japanese guarding him. They were defeated there and the main force suffered heavy losses. Do you still expect us to clean up the mess for them? Even if you make the Japanese say nothing worthwhile, it's reasonable, let alone now it's about whether Marshal France can continue to lead the legion. Do you want to see the French legion disband? "

Rohard fell silent, his face fluttering and dark, and it was really hard to make a decision.

In his opinion, the responsibility for Chunchuan's failure may be attributed to the Japanese army, but the failure of this war cannot shirk all the responsibility to Japan.

Perhaps, the war was destined to be no progress from the beginning. The French Legion was not a god who came to earth. How could it be against the vigorous Zhong** team and try to turn the situation around in three or two months?

If the French Legion decided to adopt a conservative combat method at the beginning of the war, it would be to concentrate troops and hold on to southern North Korea with the Japanese army, which would inevitably stop China's crazy attack.

Using tug-of-war to destroy China's will is not only the will of the Chinese team, but also the will of the Chinese government and even all Chinese people. Just like the European War, offense and defense on a defense line can last for several years.

With China's bubble-like military development, it cannot withstand the test of cruel tug-of-war. At that time, there will naturally be Chinese people who will start to question, from questioning to distrust, and then from distrust to boredom.

At this time, it is a great time to truly start a counterattack! In short, the French Legion's highest combat purpose is not to conquer cities and territory, not to teach the Chinese a lesson, nor to help Japan regain North Korea. It is precisely the North Korean restraint that it cannot open up the battlefield in South Asia.

But Marshal France had to win by surprise, and he had to carry out a strategic offensive with only 80,000 troops, and he was still scattered to various battlefields to fight alone!

Rohard sighed secretly. At this point, he naturally did not want to evaluate the gains and losses of the war. The French Legion's battle in North Korea could only leave future generations to comment.

"Mr. General, since that's the case, I will try my best to convince the representative of Delhi. You are right. The French Legion failed in North Korea, but we still have the opportunity to restore our dignity in South Asia. We must not let those politicians take advantage of the issue."

"Just understand. You can go back and prepare first, and set out tomorrow morning. By the way, after dealing with those ungrateful wolves, you will be fully responsible for the French Legion's support work. I will send someone to help you." Major General Joseph calmed down his tone and explained seriously.

The successful recovery of Jilin Province means that the Liaodong War is coming to an end. In the past half month, three national defense divisions have forced the remnants of the Japanese Fifth Division to Jinzhou. At present, the remaining combat forces of the Japanese Fifth Division are less than 10,000. Facing the 60,000 Chinese National Defense Forces, the defeat has been decided.

After several contacts for a month, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs finally received a response from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Starting from the end of June, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs will receive at least three telegrams from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs every day, and there are even formal diplomatic letters delivered to the Nanjing Presidential Office through the IUV Postal System every few days. However, these were directly thrown away by the Secretary-General of the Presidential Office. Japan had made peace talks before. If Japan could still make peace so easily, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs would be faceless. No matter what conditions Japan put forward, these conditions would not satisfy China, and simply did not even look at them and deal with them all.

This time, the Chinese Foreign Ministry responded without discussing any content of peace talks. Instead, he fiercely denounced the Japanese government for not using it. Since the war will not end easily, it will inevitably wipe out all the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield.
