The Independence Army was in full swing, and all the Japanese troops stationed in the Malay Peninsula had retreated to Singapore, and a large number of fortifications built by the British had already been repaired by the Japanese army, and the Japanese believed that with these fortifications, they would be able to hold out until reinforcements arrived. "Surround, don't fight yet." Zhuo Fei didn't actually mean to attack Singapore now, he just ordered the local Chinese who helped the independence army for free to infiltrate Singapore for tandem, and asked the Chinese living in the Japanese-controlled area to find a way to withdraw, once the battle broke out, their situation would be very dangerous.

"Don't think too much about dealing with the Japanese army, this is not our place anyway, even if it is broken, it can be rebuilt. As long as you find the presence of Japanese troops, use all the means you can think of, use all the weapons and equipment you can use, and kill them. I have long said that only the dead Japanese are good Japanese, and now that the umbrella has a large number of indigenous laborers, there will be no need for Japanese prisoners of war, so it is good to kill them all. "Zhuo Fei's order is very resolute, that is, not to hesitate to destroy the entire Singapore, but also to kill all the Japanese troops.

"The target of the rescue of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army must be Singapore, so we must turn Singapore into a battlefield, a battlefield where there is no entry and no exit. In a few days, new weapons and equipment from the rear will arrive in Kuala Lumpur, and our flying team in the rear will be heading south to help in the fight. From now on, I want each and every one of you to remember that we are here to kill people, not to fight for our lives in close combat with the Japanese army. The Jewish officers attending the battle meeting heard a strong killing intent from Zhuo Fei's words, but they were not worried about it, because it was the servants who were really on the front line.

Perhaps under the influence of the Independence Army, the New Army units that had stopped fighting on the domestic battlefield suddenly broke out, and the New First Army concentrated its firepower to storm Shijiazhuang, which had been besieged by them for several months, while the New Second Army and the New Third Army, which were active in Henan and Shandong, mobilized troops to attack the surrounding Japanese puppet armies. In just six hours, these three units of the New Army inflicted more than 10,000 casualties on the Japanese puppet army, especially the area controlled by the Japanese puppet army in Shandong.

The reason why the new army will burst out with such combat effectiveness is that Chen Geng and others, who have been transferred back to China, have been in the independent army for a long time, and they are no longer suitable for the original combat mode of relying on two legs, so many of them have gone to the new army in a semi-mechanized state, and the strength of the new army has also been strengthened. "It's different, it's fundamentally different, even the new army can't be compared with the independent army." When asked about the difference between the Independence Army and other troops, Chen Geng's head immediately shook like a rattle.

"Due to the problem of the establishment of our original troops, most of them fought as regimental units, while the independent army used regimental establishment as combat units from the very beginning. The Independence Army is highly mechanized, and trucks, jeeps, motorcycles and other means of transport are very common in the Independence Army, and more than 80 percent of the soldiers drive these vehicles. As soon as the battle order was issued, the troops of the Independence Army drove these vehicles to the battlefield in a very short time. Chen Geng's narration made the high-level people present nod frequently, and they only understood at this time why the Independence Army would recruit laborers to build roads when they arrived in one place, and they dared to lay the foundation for the mechanized march of the Independence Army.

"Speaking of the command system of the Independence Army, I don't know who came up with this command system, but it's easy anyway. Originally, when we were directing operations, we could only rely on two means: one was a telephone fixed on the forward position, and the other was a communicator. However, once the telephone lines in the forward positions were blown up by enemy artillery fire or the communicators were killed, it was difficult for orders from the rear to reach the forward positions, but in the Independence Army, such regrets did not occur. ”

"The Independence Army is equipped with walkie-talkies in large numbers, and when the walkie-talkies in the new army are equipped to the battalion and company level, the Independence Army has already equipped walkie-talkies to the squad level. This means that as a commander, even if I stay behind the position, I can command any infantry squad on the forward position through a walkie-talkie. If we want to talk about the difference between us and the Independence Army, this is probably the biggest difference between us and the Independence Army, we have fallen too far behind in the means of command. Chen Geng's face and eyes were full of regret, because until now, he still couldn't understand why there was a rift between the coalition government and the umbrella.

"The superiority of weapons is not really the most important in the Independence Army, and the soldiers in the Independence Army are almost all Jews, and many of these Jews are veterans of European countries. Even if we were to be repatriated, the Independence Army would not change its plans to fight south because of the lack of officers, because the Jewish veterans of the Independence Army could take our place. In some respects, they are even better than our people in commanding mechanized troops, and the tactics of the Independence Army are actually more suitable for Westerners. ”

Chen Geng's words completely silenced the CCP's top brass, and some of them began to wonder whether it was really right to choose to compromise with the Kuomintang and negotiate with the Japanese for the time being. Since the Umbrella Company came out of nowhere to persuade the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to cooperate, the Umbrella Company has been playing the role of a pioneer in a hurry, whether it is training new troops or supplying new weapons, the Umbrella Company has never shirked. In fact, it is precisely because of this that both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are secretly wary of the umbrella company, because until now, they can't think of why the umbrella company has worked so hard to support the war of resistance.

Chen Geng and the others didn't know what the high-level people were thinking, and if they knew that the break with the umbrella was just due to a suspicion, I don't know how those of them who had held high positions in the Independence Army would feel. The rift had already appeared, and it was impossible to make up for it, so after figuring out that the Umbrella had no idea about the country, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party chose to forget about it almost simultaneously, and by the way, began to eliminate the potential influence of the Umbrella Company on the Forces nouvelles.

Angela, who had been transferred back from the Independence Army, was resettled into the New Army, and the Jewish officers who had previously held high positions in the New Army were gradually separated from the New Army. The line between the Independence Army and the Forces nouvelles has been initially drawn, but the southbound immigration plan is still being implemented, and the original plan of five million southbound immigrants drawn up by the umbrella company has been revised again, and the total number of southbound immigrants has been changed to 15 million in the new plan.

"Don't pay attention to these little things, as long as Ruili is still in our hands, since some things have been clarified, let's make it clear to them. If they want five countries in South Asia, then give them to them, and this place is not in our plan. It just so happens that they're going to take over here, and they can also pull our people out, and it's time for our ultimate plan. Zhuo Fei, who got the news, did not show the same anger as Angela and Vivian, but after issuing several orders in a row, he did not follow.

Chongqing was very worried about such a strange reaction of the umbrella for a while, and seeing the umbrella company's submissive look, the high-level executives who were secretly worried could be regarded as relieved, after all, they did not want to form an opposition to the umbrella. However, just as the second secret meeting between Chongqing and Japan began, Vivien, as the special envoy of the umbrella, suddenly came to Chongqing and proposed to have a dialogue with the top level of the coalition government.

Vivian came to Chongqing as the envoy of the umbrella company, naturally she wanted to have a showdown with the coalition government, and it was impossible for the umbrella company to pay so much and not get anything in return. "Our umbrella company has accepted the employment of the U.S. government and is ready to contain the Japanese army in Southeast Asia, and if there is a suitable opportunity, we are also ready to directly attack the Japanese mainland." At the beginning of the meeting, Vivian threw out a bombshell news on behalf of the company, which caught the high-level executives present by surprise.

"The Umbrella Company is a mercenary company with over 2 million Jewish employees who depend on us for a living, so we can't give all the time, and we need to give back. Starting today, the Ruikun Railway, which was jointly built by the Umbrella Company and the Yunnan Provincial Government, will be handed over to the Yunnan Provincial Government for management free of charge, but the Coalition Government needs to ensure that the Umbrella Company's road from Ruili to Malay is unobstructed, and cannot intercept vehicles and materials belonging to the Umbrella Company for any reason. ”

"The five South Asian countries that the Umbrella Company already has full control can all be handed over to the coalition government, but the Independence Army can be stationed in the five South Asian countries at will until the Umbrella Company takes control of Southeast Asia. In addition, the Umbrella Company has exclusive mining rights in five South Asian countries for 50 years, and all ships seized by the Independence Army from the Japanese mixed fleet and the Thai Navy are owned by the Umbrella Company, and cannot be detained or requisitioned by the Coalition Government. ”

Vivien's offer was not agreed to by the coalition government, and if it refused, the Umbrella Company would immediately close down its arsenal base and training camp in Ruili and organize Jews to go south to the Malay Peninsula. More than half of the troops of the new army are using the new weapons produced by the Ruili Ordnance Base, and without the support of the umbrella company, the new weapons equipped by the new army will be stopped due to lack of ammunition, and the responsibility and consequences of such responsibilities and consequences cannot be afforded by the coalition government.

Vivian's aggressiveness has won too much convenience for the umbrella company, but in fact, it is still the umbrella company that suffers, after all, the five South Asian countries were defeated by the umbrella company, and the coalition government just picked up a big bargain. "Forget it, what they are given is just a small land, and we have to look at the world. As long as we control the Strait of Malacca, it is enough for the umbrella company to enjoy it, not to mention that we have the opportunity to touch the entire Southeast Asian region. Zhuo Fei still didn't care about this, because he had bigger plans to implement.
