Anti-Japanese War: The whole world is a base vehicle

"The French army is preparing to wipe out the Annam Independence and Freedom Army?" Lu Yuhua was originally immersed in the expectation that the Japanese army's upcoming attack on Pearl Harbor would bring about a change in the situation, but this good mood did not last for two days before he received a telegram from Liu Yi.

He hurriedly opened the telegram and quickly browsed through its contents. As he read, he couldn't help but frowned.

During this period of time, the Annan Independence and Freedom Army has been in full swing. With its tenacious fighting will and excellent strategies and tactics, it has occupied a lot of territory.

Originally, Lu Yuhua thought that the French army would be afraid of the various forces and would continue to endure, but he did not expect that they could not help but take action now.

"Yes, according to the information sent back by spies, the French army is very dissatisfied with the expansion of the Annan Independence and Freedom Army. Previously, they were restricted by the Japanese army and did not take any action. Now they are free to deal with them." The officer in charge of intelligence was standing aside. Seeing Lu Yuhua's expression after reading the telegram, he straightened up quickly and explained in a serious manner.

Hearing this, Lu Yuhua seemed very calm, without any trace of panic on his face.

In his mind, how much trouble could these mere tens of thousands of French troops cause?
With the military force he currently controls, it would not be easy to destroy these French troops.

The reason why we have not taken action against the French army is simply to wait for the most appropriate opportunity.

Since the French army does not want to save face and has to provoke the Annam Independence Army at this time, then, Lu Yuhua doesn't mind helping them save face.

"Commander-in-Chief, should we order them to attack? Completely seize the territory of northern Annam?" At this time, the combat staff officer's eyes lit up and spoke with anticipation.

He knew in his heart that the current situation might be a good opportunity for him. If he could take advantage of this opportunity to attack, he might be able to seize the territory of northern Annam in one fell swoop and further expand his sphere of influence.

"No." Lu Yuhua shook his head slightly, his tone was calm but revealed an unquestionable determination.

Hearing this, all the officers were stunned, looking at each other with confusion in their eyes. What on earth did this mean?
Everyone originally thought that the general would take advantage of the opportunity when the French army was trying to wipe out the Annam Independence and Freedom Army to order an attack to seize the territory of northern Annam, but unexpectedly the general refused outright. This was really beyond everyone's expectations.

"The pattern is too small. The northern part of Annan is too small." Lu Yuhua sneered and said with a bit of disdain in his expression.

In his opinion, just focusing on this small area in northern Annan would not achieve much, and it was not in line with his plan to control the entire situation and expand his power.

"Since we are going to do it, let's do it on a big scale and take over this entire area." As he said this, Lu Yuhua waved his hand and pointed directly at the area around Myanmar on the map.

The posture seemed to have already taken that vast land into its own possession.

Upon hearing this, there was a burst of gasps in the conference room.

Everyone was shocked by Lu Yuhua's generosity. This was not just boldness, it was sheer ambition!

You know, Myanmar is not a small place. It covers a wide range and involves many forces. It is not easy to take over them all.

"What? Are you all so scared?" Lu Yuhua looked at the surprised and slightly worried expressions of the crowd. He knew what they were thinking and couldn't help but chuckle.

He knew that although these officers were brave in combat, they would inevitably have concerns when faced with such a large-scale plan.

"Are you worried about the British army?" Lu Yuhua glanced at everyone and finally stopped at the combat staff officer, asking with a smile.

"Yes." Seeing that Lu Yuhua directly pointed out everyone's concerns, the combat staff no longer concealed it and nodded in acknowledgement.

After all, the British Army is a force that cannot be underestimated in the Far East. If we rashly attack Myanmar, the British Army will certainly not sit idly by. It will inevitably trigger a war, which makes everyone nervous.

"Don't worry, the British don't dare to start a war now." Lu Yuhua explained with a smile.

He was very clear about Britain's current situation. The British were being troubled by the German army in Europe and were busy dealing with various attacks and threats from the German army all day long. They had no extra time and energy to care about the war in the Far East.

It can be seen from the performance of the British army when the Japanese army attacked Burma before that they had no intention of fighting and only wanted to shrink the defense line and preserve their own strength.

Since the British have already done this, they might as well take advantage of this opportunity to take all the supplies and weapons and equipment that might have otherwise gone to the Japanese army. Those are all coveted good stuff.

When launching operations in Myanmar, we cannot rashly send troops directly. After all, the international situation is complicated and the various forces are checking and balancing each other. We need to carefully consider many factors, especially taking into account various political influences.

If they really recklessly piss off the British army, it will trigger a series of unpredictable serious consequences and will inevitably cause big trouble, which will greatly hinder Lu Yuhua's overall strategic layout and power expansion plan.

Therefore, if you want to make a difference in Myanmar, you have to take a more roundabout and strategic approach, which means investing more resources.

Among the numerous resources, the most critical and in-demand ones are naturally various military equipment.

These weapons will be an important material basis for supporting subsequent operations, and they play an indispensable role in both enhancing combat effectiveness and strategic deterrence.

Not only that, personnel training is also a top priority.

Compared with Annan, supporting Myanmar is much more difficult.

The British army has been operating in Burma for many years and has a deep foundation. Its strength is still quite strong, even far exceeding that of the French army in Annan.

This means that it is necessary to build a more combat-capable and disciplined armed force in order to have a chance to compete with the British Army in Burma.

Fortunately, after a series of planning and development, Lu Yuhua now has relatively strong resources in his hands, and is relatively wealthy in terms of economy and materials.

So, he planned to make full use of these advantages and recruit two Burmese divisions at one go.

These carefully selected and recruited soldiers will receive systematic and professional training to enhance their military qualities and combat capabilities.

Afterwards, these people were arranged to rush directly back to Myanmar and launch a large-scale attack on the British army at the right time.

At the same time, Lu Yuhua also plans to recruit local indigenous people in Myanmar. These indigenous people have lived in Myanmar for a long time and have a deep affection and sense of belonging to this land. They have always longed to get rid of the rule of foreign forces and gain independence and freedom.

Now that we are recruiting them under the banner of independence and freedom, I believe the natives will definitely join enthusiastically.

In this way, not only can the size of one's own troops be expanded, but also the indigenous people's familiarity with the local environment can be used to better carry out various military operations in Myanmar, laying a solid foundation for achieving Lu Yuhua's strategic goals in Myanmar.

"What did you say? Those natives rioted?" When Hanoi Governor De Gu heard this, his eyes widened and he looked at his subordinates in disbelief, as if he had heard some Arabian Nights fairy tale.

He never expected that the natives who seemed to be relatively well-behaved on weekdays would suddenly start a riot. This was completely beyond his expectations.

"Yes, I don't know if the news leaked or what, but the rebels have begun attacking various military bases. Not only that, their firepower is very strong, and they are all equipped with Soviet weapons." The subordinate stood straight and reported the situation with a serious expression.

Every word he said seemed to hit Governor Degu's heart hard, making his face even uglier.

"All Soviet weapons? Haven't you found out the reason yet?" Governor Degu frowned, his tone revealing obvious dissatisfaction.

It had been reported before that there was suspicion that the Soviet army was behind these rebels, but in the end, after investigating for so long, they still hadn't found out the cause. How could he not be angry?

He originally thought it was just some minor incidents, but now it seems that things are much more serious than he imagined.

"No, we thought it was just a small-scale aid before, but from the news sent from all over now, these rebels have powerful firepower and even a large number of heavy artillery. This is definitely not a small-scale aid." The subordinate's expression became more and more serious. He was well aware of the severity of the current situation.

He originally thought that it was just some light weapons assistance, but now seeing the news coming from all over, the powerful firepower displayed by the rebels and the large number of heavy artillery, it is obvious that they have received large-scale and organized assistance. However, they have not yet figured out the reasons behind it, which really makes him anxious and helpless.

"Damn it, this must be the Soviet army's instigation. They want to spread the red color all over the world." Governor Degu was so angry that his face turned blue, his eyes were wide open, and he said with gritted teeth.

In his opinion, the sudden riots launched by these indigenous people must be secretly manipulated by the Soviet army, whose purpose is to spread their so-called red ideology around the world. This makes him both angry and very worried.

"Your Excellency Governor, if this is the case, I'm afraid it will be impossible for us to eliminate these rebels." The subordinate took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to report.

He knew that the Governor would definitely be unhappy to hear this, but that was the fact and he had to say it.

"What do you mean?" Governor Degu frowned and looked at the other party in confusion, with doubt and anger in his eyes. "Do you think we can't suppress those rebels?" He really couldn't accept such a statement. After all, as the governor of Hanoi, he always believed that with the troops at his disposal, dealing with these indigenous rebels should be a piece of cake.

Upon hearing this, although the other party did not nod in acknowledgement directly, the meaning was already very clear. They really could not easily eliminate the other party.

"Your Excellency Governor, we only have tens of thousands of people, and we need to garrison such a large territory. Now we have to divert part of our forces to deal with the rebels." The subordinate spread his hands helplessly, his face full of helplessness and bitterness.

He was very clear about his current predicament. With such a small number of troops, he had to be responsible for garrisoning the vast territory and ensuring the safety of various important strongholds. Now some of them had to be diverted to deal with those rebels who suddenly appeared and had strong firepower. The troops were really stretched to the limit. It was not easy to completely eliminate the rebels.

"Damn it, we must find a way to suppress them. Otherwise, once they gain a foothold, it will be a troublesome thing for us." Governor Degu roared angrily, his voice echoing in the room, revealing his unquestionable determination.

He knew very well that if these rebels were allowed to grow stronger and gain a foothold in this land, it would bring endless troubles. Not only would it threaten their ruling authority in the local area, it might also trigger larger-scale unrest. Therefore, he had to find a way to suppress this rebellious momentum no matter what.

"Your Excellency Governor, I'm afraid it's not an easy task." The subordinate shook his head slowly and said solemnly.

It was obvious from his expression and tone that he had no hope of successfully destroying the rebels.

In his opinion, the current situation was extremely serious. It was extremely difficult to deal with this sudden and fierce rebellion with their existing military forces and resources.

"I suggest that we ask the Japanese army for help." The subordinate hesitated for a moment, but still spoke his mind.

He felt that at this extremely critical moment, perhaps only with the help of the Japanese army could he reverse the current unfavorable situation.

After all, the Japanese army has considerable influence in this area, and its military equipment and combat capabilities are relatively impressive.

Hearing this, Governor Degu's face instantly became extremely ugly, as if he had swallowed a fly.

Damn it, they actually asked him to ask those yellow monkeys for help?

This was a great shame in his heart.

He has always had an inherent arrogance and prejudice towards the Japanese army, believing that they were just a group of barbaric outsiders. Although they had certain military strength, it was absolutely impossible for him to humble himself and ask them for help.

"Impossible." Governor Degu rejected the other party's proposal without hesitation, his tone was cold and firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

He would rather find a way to deal with the crisis on his own than bow to the Japanese army and ask for help.

However, it wasn't long before he was slapped in the face by the cruel reality.

Because the infantry regiment he sent out to suppress the indigenous rebels was a force with certain combat effectiveness, but it was completely wiped out in just three days.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, hitting Governor Degu hard.

Governor Degu was completely stunned when he received the news. His eyes widened with disbelief on his face. He stood there blankly, unable to accept this cruel reality for a moment.

He never expected that the fighting power of the indigenous rebels would be so strong, and the troops he sent out would be so vulnerable. This was a big trouble. He began to regret his decision to refuse help, but now it was too late. (End of this chapter)
