Chapter 497 Borrowing Troops
"That's right, I'm just afraid that he'll lose his position!"
Although he received Lin Shubing's affirmation, Wang Meng was still confused. He still couldn't connect the two things together, or he could only connect them negatively.
"Shu Bing, he's afraid of losing his position, so shouldn't he be more wary of us? Why would he lend us his soldiers?"
Lin Shubing stretched out his finger and shook it in the air.
"No, no! Although the Independent Column is a threat to him now, it is only the third largest army in China, and its numbers are not even as large as those of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
Even if we eventually take the initiative to turn against Chongqing, we have to be fully prepared, right? Now is definitely not the time.
However, if he offends his father in Country M, he will be forced to step down in a matter of minutes!"
Wang Meng secretly exclaimed, "Great!"
There is no need for Country M to support another agent. It only needs to suspend its aid and loans, and his "heroes" will teach her a lesson in no time.
"Shubing, you scholars are really ruthless! But I still don't understand, how can we make Country M listen to us?"
"It's very simple! Isn't Country M always saying that it wants to protect the lives of its soldiers? Then use this as a bargaining chip!"
Wang Meng started thinking again.
"Got it! Cut off the penicillin supply chain and let those American soldiers with rotten legs fend for themselves!"
Lin Shubing showed a helpless expression and could only speak his mind thoroughly.
"What's the point of cutting off his penicillin? After a while, Country M will probably be able to produce penicillin on a large scale. By then, they will be eager for you to tear up the contract!
Let's be direct and tell Country M that the old man doesn't want to fight the war. As long as Country M can put pressure on us and allocate the Central Army's troops to us, we can fight the Japanese on Chinese soil and then hold back the Japanese troops.
In this way, it would be difficult for the Japanese to withdraw troops from the Chinese battlefield to support the Pacific battlefield.
"Can't Country M figure this out?"
Wang Meng suddenly realized that although this was an effective method, he was still vaguely worried.
"Shubing, if this happens, will someone say that we are using the lives of Chinese people to please the Americans?"
Lin Shubing shook his head in disdain.
"I was also worried about this problem, but I later found that we had entered a misunderstanding! As long as our own interests in China are not encroached upon by the Americans and are equal, then we can cooperate!
Moreover, even if we take a step back, everything we do is to fight the devils! The devils are committing crimes on our Chinese soil. As the descendants of Yan and Huang, shouldn't we fight them out? Do we really have to wait for the devils to find their conscience and retreat on their own?
A gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart!"
Lin Shubing is worthy of being a political instructor. Just a few words from him made Wang Meng put down the burden in his heart!
An old man once said that no matter whether it is a white cat or a black cat, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat!
"Okay, I'll talk to Louis, the Minister of Defense of Country M!"
"There is no time to lose. Even if we were to make changes right now and then train and adjust, it would take at least three months!"
Wang Meng nodded and immediately prepared to contact William and Mao Hang, whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Wait, two-pronged approach!"
"Double tube? Isn't it just this tube from the American guy? Why is there another tube?"
Lin Shubing's finger poked Weishan Lake.
"Hahaha, you're amazing! I'll go to Kunming first, and then go to Weishan Lake right after that!"
The next day, Wang Meng waited for Li Yunlong to bring back a pot of orchid before he prepared to go out.
"Old Li, I didn't expect you to actually bring back a pot of orchids? I didn't expect you to have this skill?"
Li Yunlong put the orchid on the table with a proud look on his face.
"No big deal. I, Old Li, have been traveling all over the country for so many years. Let's not talk about other things. Just to say that I have eighteen martial arts skills, I am not exaggerating!
In Dabie Mountains, I worked as a bamboo craftsman, wove baskets, and even built walls for landlords!
When we were crossing the grassland, I worked in the kitchen squad. Apart from other things, the grass roots in other troops could not even afford to eat, but the soldiers in our company ate steamed corn bread, which was a good thing!
Later you found out that I have operated a sewing machine, worked as a director of a bedding factory, and can also embroider!
Just this orchid? Isn't that a piece of cake?"
Wang Meng smiled without saying anything and just waved his hands.
"Okay, okay, you're awesome. I'll count you as awesome, okay?"
Li Yunlong was serious and stood at the door with his big body, blocking Wang Meng's way.
"Eh? What do you mean by 'I'm awesome'? You can't leave until you make this clear. You're defaming our old Li's reputation!"
"Okay, since you, Old Li, want to explain it clearly, then let's talk about the rumors! I declare in advance that these are just rumors, just treat them as a joke!
Some people did work as bricklayers and built a wall for a landlord's house, but the wall collapsed within two days and broke the leg of the landlord's idiot. The landlord wanted to risk his life, so he escaped to join the revolution!
Also, some people did work in the kitchen team and ensured that the soldiers had enough to eat, but they did so in violation of orders from their superiors and robbed the landlord's yard without authorization, and only then did they get some food.
besides……"
Before Wang Meng could finish his words, Li Yunlong moved aside to make way.
"Um... just now Shubing asked you to hold on tight, so go now!"
Wang Meng was so excited that he couldn't stop talking, but when he thought of the important things he had to do, he had to let go of the blushing Li Yunlong.
"Okay, I'll remember this anyway, I'll talk to you later, I'm going to get down to business first!"
After Wang Meng finished speaking, he ran to the jeep and ordered the driver to drive to Pingshun Airport.
When we arrived at the airport, we saw Lin Shubing. He was sitting at the back of the transport plane, looking at the prepared materials.
"Shu Bing, what are you looking at?"
Lin Shubing pushed his glasses and handed a document to Wang Meng.
"Here, take a look. This is considered a secret document, right? The matter of borrowing troops cannot be brought to the table, so we can only sign a drawer agreement!"
When Wang Meng took a look at it, he was stunned. He directly asked for 200,000 troops and opened his mouth wide enough to swallow a cow.
"Shubing, are you kidding me? Two hundred thousand! Would Chongqing be so generous?"
"Oh, they ask for a high price and then pay it back. We ask for 200,000, and let them bargain it down to 100,000. Finally, we can pick and choose. We estimate that we can only use 50,000 or 60,000 people! If you calculate it this way, is it still too much?"
Wang Meng gave Lin Shubing a thumbs up, he couldn't help but admire him.
"That's a good idea! So how many troops do we want to tie down the Japanese? Is this written into the agreement?"
"I have written it. Can you please turn to the back?"
Wang Meng picked up the information and started flipping through it. When he reached the end, his face, which had been excited just now, turned the color of liver, and his eyes seemed to want to eat Lin Shubing!
