Chapter 498 Becoming Bigger and Stronger
"Shubing, are you crazy? Thirty divisions? We want to contain thirty divisions of the Japanese? Even if there are only a little over ten thousand soldiers, that's still more than three hundred thousand! How can we contain them?"
Lin Shubing spread his hands innocently.
"That's right? Our estimated target is indeed thirty, but can the Japanese army deliver thirty?"
"What should we do if the Japanese pull out the divisions of the Dov Central Army to attack us?"
Lin Shubing shook his head.
"Once the Central Army is hit by Country M, do you think they will be able to sit still? They will make some moves, right? Once the Japanese retreat, the Central Army will surely rush over. How dare they retreat? In their eyes, it is much more difficult to attack our independent column than the Central Army!"
Wang Meng recalled that the Japanese were facing a very bad international environment, with their resources blocked, insufficient troops, and being dragged into the Pacific battlefield. They were now in a state of panic and were stretched to the limit.
"What you said makes sense, how about changing it to fifty divisions?"
"That's a bit exaggerated, right? The Japanese army has a total of 70 divisions, 38 of which are in China. Are you going to take down of them at once?"
Wang Meng closed his mouth in dismay.
The plane took off and flew south.
The plane landed at Kunming Airport, and Mao Hang and William, who were waiting there, immediately came over to greet them.
"Chief of Staff, the battle you fought in Datong was so exciting! We in Yunnan can all hear your might and dominance!"
Wang Meng waved his hand casually in a pretentious manner.
"It's a small skill, nothing worth mentioning!"
William came forward at this time and gave Wang Meng a big hug. If Wang Meng hadn't refused, his lips would probably have fallen on his face.
"My king, thank you so much! If you hadn't held the Japanese hostage in Datong, the hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers from the 30th Army of the Kwantung Army would have been mobilized to the Pacific battlefield!"
Wang Meng smiled in his heart. Just when he wanted to sleep, someone handed him a pillow. He was just worried about how to start the conversation, but William actually brought it up on his own initiative. So he wouldn't be polite!
"William, as a member of the world's anti-fascist movement, our independent column has the ability and obligation to launch an attack on the Japanese and share the pressure from the Allies! It's just that..."
William looked at Wang Meng's increasingly gloomy face and couldn't help but become anxious.
"What is wrong, my king?"
"Alas, our defense line is too long now. We can no longer launch an effective attack on the Japanese. I'm afraid the Japanese will free up more troops and transfer them to the Pacific battlefield!"
"No weapons? No way. I've seen your semi-automatic rifles. Although they are no different from the Germans', they are very powerful! Besides, aren't you able to produce your own weapons? How can you not have weapons?"
Wang Meng interrupted the anxious William and made a stop gesture with his hands.
"Calm down! William, calm down! It's not that we don't have weapons, but we don't have enough soldiers!"
William chuckled, with an expression that said, "You're teasing me."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! China has so many passionate young people, how could there be no soldiers? You must be kidding!"
"Half of China's passionate young people have been captured by the Central Army! The rest are old, young, women and children!"
William then realized that China did not have a unified military organization, and even if it was unified on the surface, it was only in name only.
"This damn old man! Just wait, I will report to Minister Louis and ask him to take good care of it. Since the soldiers under his command are unwilling to fight the war and unwilling to contribute to the anti-fascist alliance, let them disband the troops or hand them over to people who are willing to fight the war!"
Wang Meng took out the information in his hand at an inappropriate time and handed it to William.
“William, perhaps this information is more convincing!”
William looked fooled.
"Wang, I seem to have fallen into your trap!"
Wang Meng laughed a little embarrassedly, he was just like Jiang Taigong fishing, waiting for everyone to take the bait.
William took the report, which contained detailed information on the number of troops in each group, as well as the ratio of how many Japanese troops they were fighting against. These simple and clear numbers amazed William.
Eighty percent of the Central Army’s troops only managed to hold back twenty percent of the Japanese invaders!
"Wang, where do you get your data from?"
Wang Meng moved aside and Lin Shubing stood in front of him.
"William, I wrote these data. Don't worry, you can verify them. Maybe what I wrote is relatively conservative, and perhaps the real situation is even more shocking!"
William looked at Lin Shubing. Although he didn't talk much, he seemed very reliable.
"Okay, then I will submit this report to Minister Louis, and then you just wait for the news!"
"William, I have to remind you that the sooner our plan is successfully implemented, the sooner the pressure on your Pacific battlefield will be relieved! Do you understand?"
William nodded. To be able to get to the position of assistant minister, doesn’t he have this strategic idea?
"Don't worry, Wang. I will report the interests involved, as well as the results and quality of the independent column to Minister Louis. Maybe he will fall in love with you like I do!"
Wang Meng nodded solemnly. He was a normal man and had no interest in Louis' love. He just wanted to gain as much benefit as possible.
That saying is correct, between major countries, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests!
"William, the telegram told you about the expansion of our independent column's air force. Remember to ship the planes to us as soon as possible. We can't wait!"
"Don't worry, it's being assembled. You can come here to pick it up in a month!"
After William finished speaking, he boarded the plane with Wang Meng's "monthly payment" and the plan to "borrow the east wind".
At this time, Mao Hang who was far away also came over again.
"Director Mao, how are you? How's your work going recently? I guess it's going well, right?"
"Of course, the independent column is doing very well in Datong. Although Yunnan is thousands of miles away, the trend has already reached Yunnan. In the past two days, more and more young people have signed up to join the army?"
After Mao Hang finished speaking, he took out another booklet. A rough look showed that he had recruited more than 3,000 people during this period.
At this rate, there will be two divisions beside the Nujiang River sooner or later!
However, isn't this a very normal thing for Wang Meng?
If you have money and food, why would you worry about not having food?
"Well done, just recruit soldiers and I'll take care of the rest. Then we can grow bigger and stronger together and create greater glory!"
Mao Hang pondered for a long time. This sounded very gangster-like. Could it be that this was not a legitimate army?
"Chief of Staff, I have something to report to you..."
