Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 517: French-Siamese War (2)

The German Consulate General in French Indochina is located in Hanoi, the capital of the Federation. Because it is a European colony, the diplomatic rank of the consul has reached the top.

The new consul sent by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs is still on the way, so the German military attaché in Indochina temporarily took over all diplomatic business.

At present, the main work of the consulate is to issue visas for Chinese workers to Germany, because the workers come from various provinces in the national control zone, it is impossible to go to Chongqing to go through the formalities, and they will simply complete the diplomacy in French Indochina. Must do procedures.

Every Chinese worker will get a temporary ID card, as well as formal entry permit documents. Germany is a country with strict controls on migrants, especially for these foreign faces. Without these documents, it will be difficult to do so in Europe.

The consulate employs 500 Annan staff, many of whom are Chinese living in the area. These people can read and write Mandarin, so they undertake the most difficult screening work.

These people have to screen out unqualified personnel from the labors they bring. Because the structure of personnel varies greatly across China, and grass-roots organizations in some areas cannot complete the targets set by Chongqing, they often play tricks that are indiscriminate and stiff. It is most common to lie about age. Some teenagers are under the age of fifteen, and some workers from Yunnan even mix opium addicts and disabled people.

There are too many workers. The consulate staff work seven days a week, twelve hours a day, but they still cannot complete the initial work according to the Berlin schedule.

Ludendorff, who was appointed as the chief military officer in Indochina, was considering hiring another batch of staff, because he can foresee that the workload of the consulate will only increase and not decrease in the future.

"The first batch of 50,000 people has completed quarantine. These people have lived in the warehouse of Haiphong Terminal for nearly three days. They consume dozens of tons of food and a lot of drinking water every day. Follow-up personnel are still sending in. Haiphong Captain William of Hong Kong called to say that he could not find a suitable place to set up tents, but the convoy carrying these workers was still blocked in Singapore." Captain Drum put a document on the colonel's desk , He is a lieutenant colonel, and now also holds the positions of diplomatic secretary and administrative assistant.

"Don't worry about this first, just look at the copy on the table. It was just sent by the command. Let's make a copy and file it." The colonel looked downstairs with his hands, and a military police led two military dogs Walking by the lawn, the sentry turned on the incandescent lamps in the four corners of the wall, and the lights in the courtyard were brightly lit.

"The Siamese Army's offensive plan? How could it be possible to get this kind of thing? It is ridiculous to have the number of the troops, the offensive route, the location of the supply station, and even the time. This is simply ridiculous." Drum said with surprise. .

It was a small-scale military map, printed very finely, and the place names were marked with Siamese characters, which should be specially drawn by Siamese officials.

Now this map is marked with a bunch of military units. The basic units are all battalion level, which is also in line with the practice of the Siamese army.

The map shows the number of each battalion, the march line indicated by the arrow and the target to be attacked, and even the time when the troops are expected to arrive at each location, showing the Siamese Army’s attack plan to the captain. In front of you.

Drum could hardly believe what he saw in front of him. This thing should be placed in the combat command room of the Siam Army Command, locked in the safe of the commander of the Eastern Army, or any defensive storage place, but It should never appear on the desk of the German military attaché in French Indochina.

"I really start to admire our agents now. If this thing is true, I think I have seen the end of this war. The French should have gotten this thing too. These Siamese troops are over. "" Drum used his finger to draw a circle on the map.

"The time to decide victory or defeat is tonight. If I were to command the French army, the troops marked on the map would no longer exist before noon tomorrow." Colonel Ludendorff turned around and sneered. He threw the pencil in his hand onto the map.

"I still can't believe that this thing is real? Where did the people in the intelligence service get this." Captain Drum said, staring at the map.

"This is the most interesting place. It is the Siamese who put this thing in our hands." Colonel Ludendorff poked the bab on the lips.

"Major Sporu shot down a batch of Siamese bombers in the afternoon. As you already know, the headquarters immediately sent a storm commando to support. When they went to the border to search for the wreckage of the enemy aircraft, they accidentally encountered a The squadrons of the Siamese Army crossing the border, those people seem to be performing some search tasks. After the encounter between the two sides, they launched a firefight. The commando quickly annihilated this small force, killing twelve on the spot and capturing two. , Thank God they finally learned to catch alive.

Later, when they cleaned the battlefield, they found this thing on the body of one of the Siamese officers. In addition to this, the man also carried other batches of military documents, all of which were important secrets.

The officer who was killed was a major of the Siamese Army. According to one of the captives, he should be a staff officer of the Eastern Army Command. It stands to reason that this person should not appear in that place at all, nor should he carry military documents of this level on his body. But" Colonel Ludendorff spread his hand against the map.

"Now this thing is here and in front of us. And according to the information fed back by the French front, the authenticity of the document has been confirmed. The French defeated the Siamese Army outside the city of Shisuofeng half an hour ago. A company of the 12th Cavalry Battalion, the name of this unit is here, indeed staying at the position shown by the ground icon, as a pioneer of the assault poetry.

There is also the 35th Infantry Battalion and the 20th Infantry Battalion of the Siamese Army, followed by the Fourth Artillery Battalion of the Siamese Army. There is no mistake at all, this thing is a real guy. "Ludendorff pushed away the chair and stood at the desk."

"I can't understand why the Siamese did this, but in my opinion, this thing is that they intentionally let the major carry the border, and at the same time deliberately let it fall into the hands of us or the French. There must be them in it The intention, yes, they must want to achieve a certain purpose with this, but I thought for a long time, why can't think of the reason." The colonel frowned tightly.

"Maybe some people don't want the Siamese army to win." Captain Drum guessed.

"With or without this information, it is impossible for them to win this war." Colonel Ludendorff shook his head.

"But the Siamese don't know this, and without this information, the battle may continue for a week or even longer. Someone wants to end in the shortest time, no, it should be a complete loss of this war. "Captain Drum looked like a detective with his chin in his hands."

"What you said makes sense. It is indeed possible that, as you guessed, someone wants the Siamese Army to fight a simple defeat. There are ten infantry battalions, two cavalry battalions and two artillery battalions on the map. There is a tank battalion, and there is no reserve team behind.

The French army has an advantage in military strength, and it can completely penetrate the border tonight, from the west to cover the rear wing of the Siamese Corps, and cut off the supply line to Siam. Then mobilized the Saigon Division and Siem Reap Division and 25 independent infantry battalions to annihilate the entire Siam Regiment in one fell swoop.

Moreover, the French army also has absolute air supremacy, and until tomorrow morning, the Siamese troops will be attacked in all directions. They lack the ability to maneuver off-road, and these infantry troops leaving the road will soon run out of the supplies they carry. Half a day, at most only half a day. "Ludendorff hit the table with a punch.

"Has the French already begun to act? Sir." Drum looked up.

"Although the French sometimes seem rigid, they still fight well." Ludendorff put his hands on his back and smiled on his face.

"Then what should we do now." Captain Drum asked.

"Does it have anything to do with us? This is a French war." The colonel said by surprise with a ba Zihu.

"Okay, the eyes of Odin will follow up the investigation. I believe there is a detailed report on the commander-in-chief's desk. All we can do now is to wait for the result and it won't be too long anyway. By the way, as you said earlier, the transportation fleet was blocked in Singapura. What happened?" Ludendorff pulled back his seat and sat down behind his desk.

"The British have already unloaded the materials on the ship, and it seems that they have to wait for a batch of goods from the British mainland to be transferred to Myanmar with the convoy. The response from the British navy to us is that it will take at least two days to set sail and wait for them. All the way back to Haiphong, our backlog of labor is almost over 80,000, which is a very heavy burden. Although there is no objection from the French, the health and security problems in various camping areas have begun to deteriorate. These Most of them are strong, strong males, and we cannot keep them in prison as prisoners all the time." Drum began to spit bitter water to his boss.

"Soon everything will be fine, I think you promise, Captain."

"Soon? When exactly?"

"Wait until the embassy staff sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Berlin arrives, wait until the war is over, wait until anyway soon. You can continue to do your work, Captain." Colonel Ludendorff scratched his head and said .

"I'm off work now, sir."

"It's so late? Then go find a place to relax and relax."

"Can you introduce a good place?"

"Oh, what's so good about the Champs Elysees? You haven't heard of it? Of course I haven't been there, I just listened to the introduction of Colonel Duvalc in France"

"I remembered, it turns out you were talking about this"

Then the two German military officers began to gather together to exchange confidential information.

ps: I need a monthly ticket, a recommendation ticket, and a click. I want to push the ranking of this book up. This is my biggest motivation for writing. (To be continued.)
