Chapter 364
"Are you going to fight a civil war?"
After Zhang Zhizhong's explanation, the US military observation team was surprised by what happened in front of him, and at the same time had many worries... They said they wanted to fight against the Japanese, but why did they suddenly start a war with local forces in Yunnan? Why is China so in chaos? They know their mission. While feeling the atmosphere of war and assessing the combat effectiveness of the Chinese team and the Japanese army, they also have to evaluate the direction and results of the confrontation between the two countries... It is obvious that the United States is on China's side at this time... They hope that China can repel the Japanese. This is in line with the interests of the United States. But now, the battle with Japan has not yet begun, and the Chinese have actually had internal conflicts first.
"It's not a civil war."
Qin Wei glanced at Van Ferrit, who was questioning. In later history, this guy was not famous, but he had checked the information. This guy was a firm firepower-based winner. He participated in the beach battle of Normandy landing. He first attacked the beach in Utah and won three bronze crosses in one day. At that time, he was just a regiment commander, but he was discovered by his old classmate, later five-star general Bradley. He thought it was wrong and thought that he was so brave and good at fighting, he should be able to command at least one division, but why was he just a small regiment commander? It happened that McNair, the commander of the US Army ground forces, visited France to inspect the battle situation and found Bradley for inquiries.
Whoever did the best, Bradley recommended Van Ferritt. As a result, McNair immediately remembered the name, but firmly believed that Van Ferrit was a good alcoholic alcoholic... Bradley hurriedly denied it because Van Ferrit never drank... After a few answers, the matter finally understood. It turned out that it was the Army Chief of Staff Marshall who mixed Van Ferritt with another guy with similar name but had alcoholism, which led to the unfair treatment of Van Ferritt. So, the unfair thing ended quickly, and Marshall quickly corrected it. In less than 100 days, Van Ferrit was promoted from a regiment commander to a commander like a rocket.
Of course, things were too far away on the European battlefield, but Van Ferrit also went to the Korean battlefield and was also an important US general on the Korean battlefield. In August 1951, during the US military's summer offensive against the Volunteers, when this guy commanded the attack on the 983 Highlands, the number of shells consumed only 360,000 in nine days, with an average of 350 per gun per day... Unfortunately, the results were not good, and the losses were heavy, so he was eventually transferred from North Korea.
However, compared with his performance on the battlefield, what Qin Wei paid the most attention to Van Ferrit was that this guy lived to be 100 years old!
"It's not a civil war? But as far as I know, Yunnan is Chinese territory, and Yunnan's political axe is also obeying the command and leadership of the Chinese central political axe." Van Ferrit is now forty-eight. He doesn't know that he has another fifty-two years of life. He only knows that he is not popular in the country... He almost can't even join the Observation Team. Because some people above said that his drinking may damage the image of the US team. He was furious about this, and then he found his boss and firmly demanded clarification.
He just got involved in the observation group. He thought he was so old, and it was said that the military rank was at the highest level in the entire observation group, and at least he should be able to get a deputy commander or something. But he didn't expect that the entire observation group was over forty years old, not even a thirty-nine person. Not to mention the deputy commander, even the team leader did not have his share. This made him feel a little relaxed while depressed... Just like a thirty-five-year-old doctor who didn't want a thirty-five-year-old doctor to stay with him, it was too depressing.
"Lieutenant Colonel, you're right. The situation in Yunnan is like that. But now there is a problem," Qin Wei smiled. "The central government plans to concentrate the whole country's strength against the Japanese, but Yunnan plans to protect itself... It's the rear, but they have retained more than 100,000 troops and not sent to the battlefield. What do you think we should do?"
"Is there no other way except war?" Clark asked.
"I said, this is not a war." Qin Wei smiled, "Or, you can think of this as a test for you... We need to solve this problem in the shortest time."
"We have an army that can be 'mobilized', but you say it's just a 'problem'?" Wei Demai smiled bitterly.
"Of course it's the problem." Qin Wei smiled and pointed to the map hanging on the wall. "There is a map here. Soon after, you can see the sand table on the Yunnan border in the Ministry of National Defense... I need you to use an army group to make someone in Yunnan Province feel dangerous and let him send most of his troops out to guard his territory. But there is a premise: you can only mobilize troops, not use force!"
"Can't use force?" Li Qiwei asked.
"yes!" Qin Wei nodded.
"That's really a problem," Van Furrit muttered.
"General Qin, if our opponent is replaced by local warlords in Yunnan, then... what should the Japanese do? They have three divisions preparing to attack Guangxi." Eisenhower asked suddenly.
"Ike," Qin Wei smiled and looked at the member of the observation group with the highest achievements in the future. "You are the leader, and I have high hopes for you... So, think of a way. You know what trump cards we have."

"Bastard, bastard--"
Long Yun was roaring.
Not long after he received the telegram from Yan Xishan, according to the news reported by Yan Laoxier, Jiang Jiang had already agreed to his conditions... He originally thought that the matter would be over soon, but he just needed to find a scapegoat and let this person stand up for Long Shengbin to make the students angry, and nothing would happen again. In order to thank Yan Xishan for his help, he immediately sent 300,000 oceans to pass. But unexpectedly, less than half a day after the incident, he breathed a sigh of relief when new information came: Guan Lin's army was moving towards the Yunnan border!
Guan Linzheng!
In the first phase of Huangpu, Chiang Kai-shek's confidant general, after Hu Zongnan, the second commander-in-chief of the army in the Whampoa Military Academy, He Yingqin, was the most valued student. He had fought against the Japanese army along the Great Wall many times before the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, known as "Guan Meng". The Battle of Xuzhou, Wuhan, and Changsha all performed well. The 15th Army under his command had a 250,000 troops. Because the Japanese army wanted to invade southern Guinan last year, the Battle of Guinan took place. ** was severely damaged, so He Yingqin strongly recommended to Chiang Kai-shek to enter the Guangxi border to garrison, filling the gap in Guangxi's troops. But now, the 250,000 troops "invade" from Guangxi to Yunnan.
"Yan Laoxier may not be a lie. It took Qin Wei a few hours to go from Kunming to Yucheng. He heard that he had gone to find Lao Chiang as soon as he got off the plane... This guy had a very extraordinary influence on Lao Chiang, and maybe he persuaded Lao Chiang to change his mind." "Little Kongming" Zhang Chong had long been unable to enter Longyuan Villa, and after Long Yun's "cleaning up", there were not many elderly people around him. Zhang Fengchun was one of the few people who could speak. Seeing Long Yun getting angry because of Guan Lin's advancement in the west, he carefully comforted him.
"I don't care what happened to Yan Xishan now. I only know that Chiang Kai-shek wants to attack Yunnan. What should I do now?" Long Yun asked in a dark voice.
"He is unkind, then I will be unrighteous!" Long Shengzu jumped up, "Rebelled!"
"Get out!" Long Yun picked up the phone on the side and smashed it over, "Why are you going against the enemy? When is it now? He, Chiang Kai-shek, can do it, but I can't. Do you know?"
"Then are you waiting for the person surnamed Jiang and the person surnamed Qin to call?" Long Shengzu flashed the phone and said angrily.
"Send troops to block the Guan people first." Long Shengwu no longer had the original posture of holding Zhizhu. He never expected that Qin Wei would react so fiercely... This was not in line with the style of a top-level officer. Two students were worthy of such a big fight? Chiang Kai-shek was the same. Are you really not afraid of being forced to force him to rebel at that time? Are our Long's rebellion?
"How many people did Guan Linzheng use? Are there any numbers?" Long Yun asked the adjutant who came to report the news again.
"I don't know, but according to the telegram, most of the 15th Army's troops moved, and they were indeed coming to us." The adjutant replied.
"Transfer my order and order all departments to go to the Yunnan-Guangdong border immediately..."
"Chairman, you can't relax the Yunnan-Guizhou border, and the Sichuan-Yunnan border!" shouted Longyu Lane beside Zhang Fengchun.
"I know." Long Yun sighed and looked at a few generals sitting in front of him: "Don't stay here either. Let's go to the army to guard them, so as not to know, and the morale of the army is unstable. If it really doesn't work... you will tell the people below that this is just Chiang-chan is doing it, and the Central Army will not really fight."
"Guan Linzheng is a close confidant of Chiang Kai-shek and He Yingqin, a powerful general in the Central Army. Dad, he moved, and Yucheng was clearly determined." Long Shengzu did not believe what Long Yun said. In his opinion, since Guan Linzheng had already put on the stance, it means that Yucheng had made plans. Otherwise, would a group of troops be there to move around and play? The march was also very expensive.
"I was just angry just now. I know Chiang Kai-shek. He would not let the Japanese laugh at this time..." Long Yun looked gloomy: "He is probably playing with this situation. As long as I act like a fight, he will definitely not dare to force him."
"Dad, be careful of Qin Wei's air force! My military corps and the second brother's reading group must be left behind!" Long Shengwu suddenly shouted.
