"Gentlemen," Spencer Churchill said in an almost stern voice, "This is a war that concerns the overall interests of our allies. Whether you are from Indian or other South Asian nationalities, your contribution to this war will never be forgotten. For the victory of the war, sacrifice is inevitable, but your honor will surely last. For this reason, my king will issue a notice of honor a week later, specifically commending the contributions of India and its surrounding countries."
Although it is not common for George V to personally commend the foreign corps, the depression in his heart still cannot be calmed for the officials present at the Dominion. It is obvious that the British corps were planned to use the foreign corps as cannon fodder from the beginning, confusing the Chinese while delaying time from the Americas and Australia to prepare troops. For white people, they will never trust people of color.
Looking at the bad faces of India, Bangladesh and other dominant officials present, Spencer Churchill paused for a moment and soon said in a serious tone: "I hope you don't have any complaints, the French team of the Indochina Federation, as well as the two Royal Corps we have drawn from Hong Kong, including Lieutenant General Hag, they are also sticking to the Hanoi defense line and sharing weal and woe with all the soldiers of the foreign corps."
These words finally gave everyone some comfort. No matter what, it is inevitable to make necessary sacrifices for the sake of the overall interests. Moreover, as long as the 80,000 troops gathered in Australia can successfully reverse the situation of the war and prevent the Chinese team from invading the abdomen of the South Asian continent, the worries of everyone here will also be solved.
Spencer Churchill waited for a while and found that the mood of the people present had improved, he continued: "My British Empire Whitehall Department has officially issued an order to appoint Sir John Denton Pinkerson French as the head coach of this unit. Their numbers are temporarily named after the head coach, French Legion. From today on, all the strategic focus of the South Asian battlefield will be shifted to the French Legion."
John Denton Pinkstone French (Johndenton Pinkstof
ench September 28, 1852 - May 22, 1925). British Field Marshal. He became famous during the British Bundesliga War and served as the commander of the cavalry brigade, division commander, commander of the army. He served as the chief of the General Staff of the Army in 1912. He was promoted to the commander of the British Expeditionary Force in 1913. After the outbreak of World War I, he served as the commander of the British Expeditionary Force. Although he tried his best to reduce casualties, he still lost 110,000 soldiers in the first two battles of Ypres. He was a thriller and was considered unsuitable for trench warfare. In December 1915, he was renamed as the commander of the British local armed forces. He wrote a military memoir to express his views on the war. He was known for the use of cavalry raid tactics, attached importance to the use of artillery, and emphasized giving artillery commanders the greatest decisive exercise of power.
Someone asked: "But with such a huge force, how will it cross the vast ocean from Australia to attack China?"
Goalle took Churchill's words and said: "This is exactly the issue we are asking for discussion at today's meeting. We specially invited Mr. Thomson, the Consul of the U.S. Trade in India, to come, hoping to impress Mr. Thomson with sincerity."
If it weren't for Galt's reminder, everyone would have even forgotten the small American sitting in the corner.
At this time, Mr. Thomson, who was not big, stood up slightly and nodded slightly to everyone present.
The representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to India asked in confusion: "Has the United States decided to remain neutral? Besides, the relationship between the United States and China has been developing rapidly in recent times. I have deep doubts about the help of Americans."
Thomson maintained a calm attitude and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, please allow me to say a few words. Just as there are factions that hold different opinions on the political field of each country, we in the United States are the same. In our country, some support China, some support Japan, and even some support Germany. We are a country that advocates business, and investment requires attention. Therefore, as long as there are sufficient returns on interests, I believe nothing is absolutely true."
Some British gentlemen showed contempt on their faces and kept sarcastic in their hearts, and had no good impression of speculators like the United States.
Although Spencer Churchill also reserved all his attitude towards the United States, the armaments of the 80,000 soldiers of the French Legion were all purchased from American merchants, and even Whitehall secretly signed a French Legion logistics contract with the United States, which was a large investment of funds. He believed that these greedy Americans were enough to stand in the Allies, and this was the last opportunity to turn the world war.
Golle continued: "If we can come up with a sure plan to ensure that the French Legion can severely damage the Chinese, the United States will send ocean-going warships to escort our legion to launch an attack on China."
A round of discussion sounded again in the conference room, and everyone was excited by the sudden news.
The United States sends warships to escort the French Legion, which means that the US side announced its joining the Allies' camp, which is definitely a heart-warming agent for the increasingly unfavorable Allies' battlefield.
Spencer Churchill took over Galle's words and said: "Of course, we need to discuss the specific cooperation methods in detail. I hope India can provide full assistance."
Everyone present knew the current situation of the United States. Although the United States maintained good trade relations with China, the situation in Europe was far less easy than Asia. Before the war, the United States purchased a large number of war bonds from Britain and Japan. Now, the Allies are in a state of retreating on the battlefield, both in Europe and Asia.
Once the Allies fail, it will inevitably cause significant investment losses to the United States. Obviously, the trade cooperation established by China cannot make up for these losses, so the United States has to consider other strategies.
However, at this time, the United States will officially join the Allies camp to participate in the war will actually have a significant impact on the interests of the United States. War is a huge consumption act. If there is no 100% confidence in winning, the United States will naturally make careful considerations, otherwise it will only cause more serious losses.
As Thomson himself said, the United States is currently in a situation of various factional disputes. Thomson obviously represents the political stance of supporting the Allied camp, but may not blindly participate in the Allied military operations.
The reason why the French Legion was sent to escort the French Legion was to promote the entire huge order, and the second was to give the Allied a peace of mind. As for whether to really send warships, or what name to adopt after sending warships, just look at the Allied Strategies’ strategic plan.
In the following meeting, Spencer Churchill, Galle and others introduced the situation of the French Legion in detail to everyone present, including the current equipment level, personnel training quality, etc.
After everyone has a basic understanding, they will further discuss what kind of supplements India and the Indochina Federation can provide to the French Legion, including support for marching supplies, transportation and other aspects.
This is very important to the French Legion. All sectors of India must coordinate existing resources for effective allocation in order to enable the French Legion to play its greatest advantage.
Before the meeting ended, Spencer Churchill told everyone that Admiral France would arrive in Delhi within four days, and that Admiral France would personally preside over the Legion Staff Meeting to establish the strategic direction of the French Legion, and then consult with the United States in detail with the exact Legion Plan.
Thomson also told Churchill and others that the U.S. Admiralty commissioners were also on their way to India, and the two sides could have a more in-depth discussion on strategic issues.
