The establishment of a brigade." The adjutant's mind turned around and he remembered the situation in Hanoi. These were all reported to the general, but now, he seemed to have forgotten them.

"How come there are so few? Where are our elite French divisions? Where are the British Far East Brigades?" De Gaulle said angrily.

"General, five days ago, you personally signed an order to mobilize a group of Hanoi garrison troops in an attempt to move south to disrupt the Japanese army that was attacking Saigon's left flank..." The adjutant still clearly remembered that a few days ago, General de Gaulle also

I am happy to say that this is a surprise force. If the Japanese want to sneak attack Saigon and attack from both sides, they can also send surprise soldiers to follow them and wait for opportunities to attack the rear.

But now... the adjutant can only lament that no matter how good the plans and strategies are, they can't change so fast.

"Then are there any troops nearby that we can mobilize? Think about it carefully." De Gaulle ordered, and then said in a flash, "Maybe I should summon my chief of staff, he should know more."

The adjutant sighed inwardly. Judging from his military literacy, the Chinese Southeast Asian Expeditionary Force at this time was almost an enemy. He even foresaw a more tragic defeat, and of course, a more hearty victory for the Chinese.

This opportunity chosen by the Chinese is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But he still said bravely, "General, we have less than one brigade of elite troops and three divisions of Indian troops within two hundred kilometers of Hanoi."

Bang!! De Gaulle suddenly grabbed an antique water pottery pot on the table that was said to be an Indian, threw it on the ground, and shouted, "Support Hanoi, let them support Hanoi immediately."

De Gaulle knew very well that both he and the Free French government could tolerate the occupation of Lao Cai, even a hundred miles of Lao Cai, by the Chinese. However, if Hanoi was lost, the entire North Vietnam would be lost.

North Vietnam is occupied by the Chinese, and Vietnam is attacked by the Japanese. Does the Free French government really want to retreat to India and form a government under the British?

The answer is yes.

It was only on the morning of the third day, the morning after de Gaulle received the news that the main Chinese troops had arrived in the suburbs of Hanoi, that General de Gaulle, who had just woken up, received intelligence that under the attack of the absolutely superior forces of the two Chinese armies, Hanoi's

The defenders only held out for less than four hours.

These four hours also include the time when Chinese people enter the city.

"Sending a higher-level negotiating team to the Chinese, we need to be clear about what their goal is. As long as their goal is not Saigon, we can negotiate. No matter what the cost, we need to block the Chinese."

While mobilizing the only troops he had, de Gaulle personally went to the British Southeast Asia Operations Command to discuss a plan to send troops to stop the Chinese.

"Dear General William, we should discuss how we should counterattack, or at least defend, once the Chinese move south from Hanoi."

In front of the British Commander of the Southeast Asia Theater, de Gaulle's face showed unprecedented compliments and humility.

Commander William, who was wearing a general uniform, frowned, tapped his fingers on the table consciously, stared into de Gaulle's eyes for a while and said, "Dear General de Gaulle, I really want to stop the Chinese, I am even willing to treat them like dozens of

Just like years ago, ships filled with opium sailed to their ports, and then the returning ships were filled with damn Chinese, and then sold to the United States and even African plantations...

However, my dear sir, what should we use to stop them? The empire's 200,000 elite soldiers and India's 300,000 cannon fodder troops have been entangled with the Japanese locust army from Laos to Burma.

, from the Straits of Malacca to central Vietnam, our biggest enemy always wants to annex the entire Southeast Asia. If we divide our forces to stop the Chinese at this time, it will not be effective. If we cannot stop the Japanese, the result is foreseeable.

"

After a slight pause, General William, who was said to have royal blood, continued, "According to the latest intelligence, a Burmese field army has been fighting with an elite Chinese force in Laos. They are also encroaching on our British Empire.

territory, and we also don’t know where their bottom line is. Cambodia or Saigon or Yangon? That’s a question.”

"What do you mean?" De Gaulle never thought that he was not as resourceful as the damn pseudo-royal member in front of him, but the biggest reality now is that the French liberal government has very few troops and has to bow its head.

William waved his hand and said, "When negotiating with the Chinese, I know their bottom line. We need at least three armies or even more troops to stop the Chinese from two armies. This is unrealistic."

"What if mo knows their bottom line?"

William: "I have drawn up a huge plan, perhaps, it needs to be approved by Downing Street..."

After sitting in the Internet cafe for nearly five hours, even my father, who was taking me to the street on his bicycle, said: "Oh, it's hard for you to write..."

Yu dare not say how difficult it is for him, but he has been extremely busy these past few days. After his wedding yesterday, he didn’t even go to see his relatives, so he went to the streets to code. I will take my tickets home tomorrow and they should be updated normally on the evening of the 8th.

Already.
