Chapter 263: Deterrence by Force (3)

Having lost the Far East, the islanders were also frightened by Zhukov's offensive. They hurriedly sent a mission and signed a non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union. Stalin smiled secretly: "You want to invade us, unless you fly over the heads of those people in Tianhua Kingdom!" ”

The plan to advance north was a complete failure, and the soldiers of the island nation lamented. Not only did the Chinese mainland make no progress, but it was attacked by the New Fourth Army again and again, and had to occupy all the passages in the big cities.

Fortunately, the occupied areas of Vietnam, Burma, and Cambodia were connected, and a large amount of human, financial, and material resources were obtained from them. However, these are far from satisfying the appetite of the island people, and if they want to dominate Asia, they must conquer all the countries of Asia!

A strong attack of Tianhua Kingdom has become a thorn in their hearts! Thinking of relying on the Palau blockade to besiege Tianhua's commercial transportation, he was unexpectedly recovered by others effortlessly. What's even more hateful is that the chief of Palau actually sold that island, and it was a dream to take it back from Tianhua's mouth!

The Soviets ceded the Far East, and the little devils were even more miserable. If Tianhua attacks the island nation from here, it will only take a few hours to attack the island territory in the northern part of the island country.

On Sakhalin Island, Hou Dashun personally led an army to occupy the entire island. He showed no mercy to the Russians in the north and the islands in the south, and ordered them all to get out! If they don't want to go, they will be sent to the vicinity of Boli to build roads, build bridges, and plant heaven and earth.

This time, the Soviet Union and the island countries were busy. They had to swallow their anger and take away their expatriates, and those who did not want to leave joined the Boli Autonomous Prefecture. After the island's coal mines, oil fields, fishing grounds, and ports were recovered, technicians and management cadres were quickly dispatched.

Hu Zhiyong listened to Hu Da shouting on his mobile phone, and the excited tone was extra uplifting: "Open-pit coal mining can reach one million tons per year, oil production can reach 17 million tons per year, and natural gas can reach 21 billion cubic meters per year." The existing paper mill and canning factory will be able to start production again in one month after replacing the equipment! ”

"Tell Liang Chengfu that Sakhalin Island was renamed Hekou Province and let Hou Dashun's wife Naren Toya be the governor. Vladivostok made a special city and let Yinlong's wife Li Xielan be the mayor; The remaining governors and mayors are Song Shoushan, Chen Degui, Lu Yongsheng, He Gaojun, and Lei Hu, and all of them must start work within a week! Of course, Hu Zhiyong knew the situation there, and after careful consideration, he made a comprehensive deployment.

These people who were ordered by Hu Zhiyong were all studying business management and government functional management in universities. They had recently graduated, and all of them had been sent to the Boeli Autonomous Government.

Liang Chengfu received the telegram and laughed: "We all took off our military uniforms and became local governors and mayors. ”

Hou Dashun, who was standing with Liang Chengfu, frowned and said: "He is a woman's family, can he be competent for the complex situation of the estuary?" ”

"You're stupid!" Liang Chengfu looked at Hou Dashun reproachfully: "Hu Da is in charge here, and he is in charge of the oil fields and coal mines." With you here, who would dare to tickle the tiger's head? Let her exercise well, and believe in the young master's vision! ”

"My old regiment leader seems to be training recruits, and the young master has taken a fancy to it again?" Hou Dashun guessed and asked himself in a low voice.

"It's coming!" Liang Chengfu laughed loudly: "It's been missing for two years, and the lid of the pot will be lifted soon!" ”

There are also more than 400,000 people in the estuary, most of whom work in coal and oil fields, fisheries, and paper mills. The school here has sent new teachers, mainly in both Chinese and English.

Hou Dashun left one division and one artillery regiment, and the rest of the troops drove back to all parts of Boli. Every town has been re-planned, and they are going to build it in five years.

In the palace of the island country, a group of ministers and people from the military department are arguing. The failure of the northward advance was a fact, and they did not dare to argue with Hu Zhiyong. However, the expansion or the current state of affairs is a matter of disagreement.

Some advocated taking India and joining forces with Italy and Germany; Some people advocate continuing to send troops to the Chinese mainland and forcing the Nationalist Government to surrender and become his puppet president. Most of the officers believe that the resources needed to occupy Southeast Asia are there!

Prime Minister Konoe stood up and said in a calm tone: "Attacking the mainland, we are facing pressure from the Northern Bureau, the Nationalist Government, and the strength of Shanghai and the Ryukyus. To attack Southeast Asia, you must first go south to the Philippines! This means going to war with the Americans! ”

Konoe advocated maintaining the status quo and abandoning the Huaxia Continent as a last resort. His ideas were scoffed at by a group of pro-militants, who thought he was cowardly and fearful. Can go to war with the United States, this group of people is still worried.

"What we need to know is whether the Americans will be involved in this war!" Hideki Tojo faced the main battle faction: "If Xianguo and Huaxia are not involved in too many troops, can we fight to the death with the US army!" ”

Hideki Tojo, who served as the vice minister of the army, looked at the Minister of War Seishiro Itagaki in the hope that he would give an answer, just after losing the decisive battle with the Soviet Union from the Far East and being angry with Emperor Showa.

"Attacking India is facing a bad relationship with France. If nothing else, it will also cause opposition from the Americans! After thinking about it, Seishiro Itagaki decided that this was not the way to go.

"Maintain the status quo and wait for the right time!" Hirohito, seeing that the quarrel was fruitless, ordered them to go back.

After everyone left, Hirohito looked at the beautiful city pictures of Tianhua and scolded hatefully: "It's you who disrupted the national policy of the empire!" Hu Zhiyong, your cunning is a big drop! ”

What Zhuang He did at the beginning, they only understood at this time. No wonder the Volunteers are not extinguished, no wonder so many new weapons are appearing, no wonder their resources from the United States and Southeast Asia are cut off!

Now everything is exposed, but they are out of control. The tactics and advanced weapons of the Hu family gave them a headache and helplessness. The government is afraid, the military is afraid, and this kind of military deterrence has made them frightened!

Strange to say, the people of the island country are not afraid of the Soviet army or the American army, but they are afraid of Hu Zhiyong's troops. They also suspected that in the Far East it was probably Hu Zhiyong who sold weapons to the Soviets in exchange for a large part of the Far East.

"Your Majesty, whatever we plan to do in the future, we must step up the manufacture of warships, aircraft, and artillery fire. I think we have to deal with Hu Zhiyong and get the coal, steel and crude oil we need from the estuary. Konoe was left behind by the Emperor, and when he heard his lamentation, he had to put forward his own thoughts.

The estuary is only 19 kilometers from the island nation of Hokkaido, and there are many convenient ways to import goods from here. Hirohito nodded: "You can go to see Hu Zhiyong, we will not be enemies with him, we just want to do business with them." ”

"Hayi!"

"Do business with me? All right! Hu Zhiyong greeted the guard in Phoenix, and after listening to his words, he nodded in agreement: "I will open up a transportation line between the two islands from the sea, and your merchant ships can move around here at will." The transaction must be in US dollars or gold, and the payment must be made in cash! ”

Hu Zhiyong was very cunning, and he knew that it would not be a year later for the United States to take the first step of "southward expansion" because of the invasion of the island countries in southern French Indochina, which greatly damaged the vested interests of Britain, the United States, and other countries in Southeast Asia. The United States began to put pressure on Japan to freeze Japanese assets in the United States and demand that the island countries abandon their ambitions for China and Pacific territories.

At the mention of dollars and gold, Prime Minister Konoe couldn't help but have a headache. The island countries do not have any resources and need to import large quantities of materials to meet domestic needs. It took him a long time to say, "We can trade with you with timber from Myanmar and Vietnam." ”

"Wood?" Hu Zhiyong laughed: "Haha, the wood I want is sandalwood, teak, and mahogany, which happens to be available in Myanmar." But how much wood can you mine? Myanmar is rich in mineral resources, including oil, natural gas, tungsten, tin, lead, silver, nickel, antimony, gold, iron, chromium, precious stones and especially jadeite. ”

Listening to Hu Zhiyong's words, the guard said in surprise: "Do you know about Burma too?" ”

"Hahahaha!" Hu Zhiyong laughed constantly, and looked at the prime minister of the island country happily: "The oil exploitation there is difficult, and it may not be enough for you to use for the time being." Okay, I'll just ask for teak, give me as much wood, I'll give you as much crude oil and coal! ”

Konoe relieved himself and began to test Hu Zhiyong's views on the situation in China. Hu Zhiyong said slyly: "My territory is only Tianhua Kingdom and Palau, and I don't care about other things." Of course, those people are my men, but they won't listen to me completely. Just like us, it's in business! ”

The guard didn't get the news he wanted, got up and said, "The island nation will not be at war with Tianhua, and I hope you don't interfere in our actions!" ”

"Definitely!" Hu Zhiyong nodded, leaned in front of the guards and whispered: "If you do something to Southeast Asia, I won't go and plug in a lever, but you must guarantee all my interests there!" ”

The guard was taken aback, he looked at Hu Zhiyong's cunning and obscene face, and couldn't guess where this kid judged that the island country was going to do something to Southeast Asia. Without waiting for him to ask, Hu Zhiyong had already replied heartily: "The resources you want are all in Southeast Asia, I don't believe you won't be tempted there!" ”

"In Southeast Asia, many interests involve the US government!" Konoe pretended to be relaxed, and he wanted to find out from Hu Zhiyong's mouth whether the Americans would enter the war.

"Abandon the Philippines, detour to Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, you only have to reach out here to test their reactions! It's a war with the United States, are you afraid of them? Hu Zhiyong looked serious, raised his thumb and said: "Germany will drag you back from Britain and France, and in the face of a country, even if you can't win, there will be no defeat!" ”

"This—" Konoe hesitated, and said for a long time, "This is something the emperor needs to consider, and we as courtiers can't come up with such a dangerous bad idea." ”

"Hehe, the most powerful thing in the island country is the navy, you don't need it on the Huaxia Continent. Alright, let's get our business done, I'm going to have two drinks with your Prime Minister Konoe with my good wine! Hu Zhiyong no longer spoke, he already knew that the prime minister that the emperor had taken a fancy to had already moved his heart!
