With the Jewish Independence Army taking the initiative to defect, MacArthur began to actively prepare for war while doubling his strength, after all, he could not ignore the orders of the White House. White and red asked MacArthur to lead the US-Australian coalition to carry out a counteroffensive against the Philippines in order to achieve the goal of containing the Japanese army, and before the Jewish Independence Army surrendered, MacArthur could also use the lack of troops as an excuse, and now, MacArthur had to take the initiative to actively prepare for war, after all, Australia still has an observer envoy sent by the White House.

MacArthur's actions did not hide the secret elements planted in the top echelons of the Australian army, and Zhuo Fei, who learned of this, also had to interrupt his vacation to return to Australia, and the United States and Australia counterattacked the Philippines, which contained a very big business opportunity. The Umbrella Company not only re-established its military base in Australia, but also successively established various factories for the production of auxiliary military supplies, including a quilt factory for the production of military uniforms and military shoes, an iron processing plant for the production of steel helmets, sapper shovels and grenade shells, and a canned food factory for pure meat mixed with starch.

Zhuo Fei's factories have already been put into production, and the products produced are naturally ready to be sold to the United States and Australia. "Mr. Sir, according to the contract between us, the arsenal under the umbrella should produce 200,000 new semi-automatic rifles for the United States and Australia within six months. According to the latest production data I just obtained, our Umbrella Company's arsenal has exceeded this contract, and the number of semi-automatic rifles currently in stock is 234,800. ”

Zhuo Fei was not surprised at all by Sir James's visit, after all, the United States and Australia were about to return to attack the Philippines, and Sir James, as the logistics officer of the coalition forces, would definitely come to the umbrella company to inquire about the ordnance. After reading the documents handed over by Zhuo Fei, Sir James's face finally showed a trace of satisfaction, the re-established Australian new army had only been trained for only 2 months, and Sir James did not think it was a good thing to send these recruits to the battlefield.

The whole process of assembling the new army was a mess in Sir James's opinion, and only the Umbrella Company overfulfilled the ordnance production, which was good news. "Zhuo, you used to be the supreme commander of the Independence Army, and I believe that your military qualities are also outstanding. What I want to say is, can you tell me definitively whether those Forces nouvelles soldiers are really capable of going into battle? It seems that only when facing Zhuo Fei did Sir James dare to express his worries, if the US-Australian coalition fails again, Sir James can no longer imagine what else can save the British Empire.

Sir James's inquiry made Zhuo Fei ponder for a moment before he replied, "Sir Sir, I know you are worried about the young men of the New Army, but if they have not experienced the baptism of war, they will never be the kind of soldiers you expect to see. War kills people, we all know this, but war is so cruel, as long as they are still soldiers, as long as they are still wearing military uniforms, they have no choice. ”

Sir James did not get an affirmative answer from Zhuo Fei, because Zhuo Fei's answer was very vague, but then, Sir James got a very vague hint from Zhuo Fei. "Sir Sir you know, when I was in command of the Independence Army, I fought the Japanese army several times. The Japanese army is not a good opponent, but in a sense, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army should not be underestimated, and if the United States and Australia decide to counterattack the Philippines, I think you should be prepared to bear mass casualties, after all, the combat effectiveness of the new army and the independence army cannot be compared. ”

The hint in Zhuo Fei's words was very subtle, but Sir James had already understood what Zhuo Fei wanted to express, and at the subsequent military meeting, Sir James, as the supreme representative of the British side, repeatedly requested that the independent division under the command of the Jewish Independent Army be included in the sequence of forward troops. The 1st Independent Division has always been the elite of the IST, with more than half of the IST's armoured armament in the 1st Independent Division, and in all the fighting after the ISTA moved south to Burma, the 1st Independent Division has fought almost all the battles and performed excellently.

For the sake of the restoration of the country, the Jews easily sold the 1st Independent Division to the US-Australian coalition to act as a striker, but then a new problem was faced with MacArthur and Sir James, and the US-Australian coalition lacked the air power to provide air fire support for the battle. When MacArthur withdrew from the Philippines, the U.S. military flight team deployed in the Philippines had already been lost, and the hundreds of fighters of the American Support Umbrella Company did not belong to the Jewish Independence Army, and those fighters belonged to the Umbrella at all.

"Zhuo, the coalition forces are about to counterattack, but we lack air power, I know that your umbrella company has no military operations in the near future, can those flying teams of yours lend to the coalition forces temporarily? Fuel and ammunition are up to us to figure it out. In order to obtain command of the flying teams from Zhuo Fei, Sir James had to visit Zhuo Fei again, but Zhuo Fei was a little hesitant about this question.

"Mr. Sir, I should have agreed to your request." Zhuo Fei replied as if embarrassed as he stretched out his hand and scratched his head. "You must know that the umbrella company is a joint-stock company, and there are other directors of the umbrella company besides me. Although I am the largest shareholder of Umbrella Corporation, I cannot ignore the opinions of other shareholders. What will happen in a war, I think you and I both understand, whether it is a fighter plane or a flying team, I am afraid that the other directors will not be able to accept the loss of the flying team by then. ”

Of course, Zhuo Fei is willing to lend those American fighters deployed in West Malaysia and Sumatra to the coalition forces, but Zhuo Fei cannot lend them to the coalition forces in vain, if Sir James can't come up with chips that satisfy him, Zhuo Fei can only refuse Sir James's wishes. Sir James was annoyed by Zhuo Fei's hesitant move, knowing that those fighters were provided by the U.S. government to the umbrella company, Sir James despised Zhuo Fei very much for taking the fighter planes provided by the Americans to negotiate terms with him.

Zhuo Fei's behavior is of course shameful, but Sir James can't turn his face with Zhuo Fei, because the coalition forces really need these fighters. "Zhuo, you don't think this will work, as far as I know, your umbrella company has been trying to buy land from the white community in Western Australia. I can convince the Governor of Australia to provide you with some of this, but you must promise that I will order the flying teams to help the Coalition forces, and that I will renew a batch of military cans and uniforms with you in my capacity as the Coalition Logistics Officer. ”

Sir James's conditions can already be regarded as generous, and Zhuo Fei naturally can't be reserved anymore, even if he agrees to Sir James's request. The flying team can be lent, the rocket artillery unit can also be lent, Zhuo Fei even lent the temporary fleet that had just been equipped with a fixed rocket battery to the United States and Australia, all these weapons and equipment lent to the United States and Australia in exchange for about 200,000 acres of desolate land in Western Australia for the umbrella company, in addition, Zhuo Fei used gold from five South Asian countries to buy 100,000 acres of land near the coastline from the Australian government at a low price.

If he could, Zhuo Fei even wanted to buy the whole of Western Australia, but unfortunately Western Australia accounts for one-third of the total area of the whole Australia, and the 264-square-kilometer area of Western Australia is not bought by the current umbrella company. Cannibalization, this is the solution that Zhuo Fei can think of, and all the top executives of the umbrella company, including Huffman, scattered their hands and bought land sporadically from local whites in their own names. By the end of World War II, when the Australian government and the British became aware of it, Umbrella owned two-thirds of Western Australia's coastline and most of the northern territory, including half of the Northern Territory.

"Don't think I'm a rich man who likes to buy land, the exploration team led by Professor McCasses has carried out deep exploration of the land we have purchased, and in the land we have purchased, a large amount of iron ore resources have been discovered in the northern region." Zhuo Fei's large-scale purchase of land made Angela and others very puzzled, and in the face of everyone's questions, Zhuo Fei could only take out the exploration report and speak with facts.

A large amount of iron ore was found in the land purchased by the Umbrella Company, and Angela and the others would not know what that meant, but this does not mean that the Umbrella Company can make a fortune from it. "Therefore, we also have to prepare in advance, in advance in Australia's people, including government departments." Zhuo Fei talked about the new plan with everyone at ease, "We must prepare in advance, prepare in advance to push our own people to a high position, only by controlling the Australian government, can we create a better future for the future of the umbrella." ”

Zhuo Fei's words are not unreasonable, since Jews and business forces can influence the decision-making of the US government, why can't the umbrella company influence the situation in Australia. Although Australia is still a British colony, Zhuo Fei knows that Australia is one of them in the tide of independence after World War II. If the umbrella company can install its own people in the Australian government department in advance, and seize the opportunity to push its own people to the position, maybe what Zhuo Fei planned can really be realized.

The U.S.-Australian coalition, backed by Jews and the Umbrella Company, finally completed its build-up, and on the first Saturday of April, MacArthur, commander-in-chief, gave a public speech announcing that the coalition would soon launch a counteroffensive against the Japanese forces entrenched in Southeast Asia. The Japanese did not know that MacArthur's speech was just a trick, and the 1st Independent Division, which actually served as the vanguard, had already set out for Java Island to prepare for battle, and half an hour after MacArthur's speech, the 1st Independent Division of the Provisional Fleet under the umbrella had already crossed the Java Sea and landed on the coast of South Kalimantan Province in Indonesia.
