Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol

"Ian, I think you have received the domestic order?"

Although they each led different war zones, there has always been contact between Zhao Fuchun and Ian Phil.

Although there has always been competition between the two, their relationship is still quite good in private.

In addition, the war zones they were responsible for were connected to each other, so when fighting against the Japanese, the two war zones cooperated with each other several times.

"Got it. You are so lucky. His Majesty dotes on you too much!"

Although Ian Feer said this, he knew in his heart that Sun Tong had always treated them both equally.

For example, the task assigned by the superiors this time seems that Zhao Fuchun's task is simpler, but in fact it may not be the case. Although the number of Japanese devils and puppet troops in Cambodia has dropped to an extremely low number.

But the problem is that the Japanese support for the Cambodian war zone can arrive at any time. You must know that the number of Japanese troops stationed in Siam and Lancang has reached 1.4 million. Zhao Fuchun wants to continue to lead the First Corps to advance northward, but it is not known what price he will have to pay at that time.

On the contrary, in the southern part of South Vietnam where he was in charge, there were not many Japanese left. In addition, he did not need to bother to conquer the northern part of South Vietnam, so the tasks assigned to him by the country were relatively simple.

"Come on, don't act so good after getting the advantage. Isn't it obvious who is taking advantage and who is losing out? I called you this time because I hope you can help me."

Zhao Fuchun has begun to regret his previous words. Why did he issue a military order when he had nothing better to do? Given the situation in Cambodia, he wanted to completely occupy the entire territory of Cambodia within three months. Even if the Japanese did not send reinforcements, this task would not be easy to accomplish, not to mention that the Japanese would definitely not sit idly by and watch the South China Army nibble away at the southern region of the Southeast Peninsula bit by bit.

"What help? Tell me!"

"I hope you can launch an attack on the devils in southern South Vietnam as soon as possible. It would be best if you can completely occupy the entire southern region in a short period of time."

"You want me to help you attract the devil's attention?"

"I do have this in mind, but you also know that the Japanese have already half-abandoned the southern part of South Vietnam. So no matter how fierce your counterattack is, as long as you don't continue to advance northward, the Japanese will not put too much energy on you. The reason why I asked you to do this is more to disrupt the Japanese's layout. Don't you think that since the beginning of the war, the Japanese have been too calm?"

"I can help you with this, but shouldn't you show some appreciation as well?"

What Ian was talking about was of course not money. As the richest man in the world, Sun Tong has never treated his subordinates unfairly. Look at the salary of civil servants in Nanhua. Even the lowest-level civil servant has a monthly salary of 70 South Chinese yuan. You should know that this money is enough for an ordinary family's living expenses for a year.

"What do you want, kid? I'm warning you, don't ask for too much. At worst, I won't ask you for this favor. It won't affect the overall situation anyway."

"Don't worry, my request is definitely not excessive. All I need is for you to call me Big Brother. How about that?"

"What's the matter?"

"Call me brother!"

"Fuck, you're trying to take advantage of me, aren't you?"

"Just tell me whether you want to yell or not. As long as you yell at me, I promise to do everything for you."

"Brother~~"

"What did you say? Speak louder. I can't hear you!"

"Big Brother!!!"

"Hahahaha, don't worry, Xiao Zhao, I will definitely take care of your problem!"

"Okay, I have completed your request. Next, you have to help me get things done with your heart."

"What's wrong with you, kid? You talk to me like that. But never mind. I'm a big-hearted guy, so I won't argue with you. As for what you asked me to do, just put your mind at ease. I'm sure I can do it!"

"That's it for now. I won't talk nonsense with you any more. The troops will be heading north soon!"

"Be careful on your journey, and I'll wait for your good news!"

After all, they were old comrades, and Ian Filley knew how difficult the mission Zhao Fuchun was tasked with this time, so before saying goodbye, he subconsciously gave the other party a word of advice.

After successfully capturing Jinbian, the First Legion had already rested in the Jinbian area for a week.

Originally, Zhao Fuchun planned to take over the entire Cambodia in one fell swoop after occupying Jinbian, but the troops were already very tired after a long period of high-intensity fighting, and the troops' ammunition also needed to be replenished, so he had no choice but to slow down his pace of moving north.

After a week, the troops' condition was finally restored, and the missing number of elixirs was fully replenished. More importantly, during this week, Zhao Fuchun used his spare time to eliminate a Khmer vassal army of up to 200,000 people.

Next, these troops will cooperate with the Type B Division coming from the mainland to garrison in various places in Cambodia, and the First Corps, which has completely given up the harvesting mission, will go directly north to engage in a head-on battle with the enemy's Fifth Army, which has just arrived in Cambodia!
