Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Great War Is About to Begin
The special envoy for the peace talks sent by the Japanese cabinet did not rush directly to Chongqing, but first went to Nanjing, and then with the help of the channel of the Nanjing puppet government, an armistice communication began with the Chongqing government. Zhuo Fei, who has rushed back to Ruili, has no time to take care of these, under Zhuo Fei's strong order, the Ruili Ordnance Base has been adjusted from three shifts of 8 hours of work system to four shifts of 6 hours of work, and the production of weapons of mass destruction such as white phosphorus bombs and rockets has been forcibly raised to the point of increasing production by 40%.
"I don't care, I just need to see that enough weapons and ammunition are produced and sent to the front line, and the rest will be taken care of by you. What you need, how much you need, tell me and I will do everything I can to satisfy you, I just need to see the results you want. After dealing with all the Jewish scientists and military technicians who came to him, Zhuo Fei ordered all the independent army units of Ruili to be sent to Thailand, and at the same time, a large number of reserve Burmese servants who had completed the phased training were also transferred to Thailand.
For Zhuo Fei's desperate bet, Angela is very worried that once Zhuo Fei's plan to fight the Japanese army in South Asia fails, the entire Ruili will lose the protection of the independence army. "Angela, don't worry, the CCP side will soon send a reserve division. Believe me, as long as this reserve division of the Eighth Route Army is equipped and uses our weapons, their combat effectiveness is higher than that of the two divisions of the Independent Army, and Ruili will definitely not lack defensive forces. Zhuo Fei has an unusual trust in the upcoming CCP reserve division, and he also comes to comfort the worried Angela.
All the military forces were transferred to the battlefield in Thailand by Zhuo Fei, and now Ruili only has umbrella mercenaries with a total of no more than 2,000 people to defend, and in the face of Angela's extreme worry, Zhuo Fei can only choose to ignore it. There was no longer much time left for the umbrella and the independence army, and Zhuo Fei knew that once the Japanese cabinet sent a special envoy to China put forward more favorable conditions, many people in the Nationalist Government, which was already tired of the war, would choose to negotiate an armistice with the Japanese, and even Chiang Kai-shek, who was the chairman of the committee, would not be able to suppress it at that time.
In the face of such an unfavorable situation, Zhuo Fei, who wants to break the situation, can only concentrate all the current forces of the umbrella company and carry out a full-scale attack on South Asia. While killing and injuring a large number of Japanese forces in South Asia, the Japanese turned their attention to the umbrella, thus destroying the idea of an armistice put forward by the Japanese. "That's the general plan, I don't care how you execute it, from now on, I will be your steward and logistics minister. What you need and what you lack, I will supply you on time, all I want is the result, I want you to show the strongest combat strength to solve Thailand, Laos and Vietnam in the shortest time, and then continue to attack Malay in the south. ”
"This is Singapore, and my ultimate goal is to meet Yamashita Fengwen's Southern Advance Corps here, and now, I need you to tell me if I can fulfill my expectations?" The baton in Zhuo Fei's hand poked heavily on the location of Singapore on the map, but his eyes looked around at the officers in the war room, this seemingly general battle plan is related to the future of the umbrella company, Zhuo Fei seems to be careless, but in fact, he does not dare to have the slightest neglect in his heart.
"Make sure you get the job done, or you'll see you." Chen Geng, who had always looked down on Zhuo Fei, finally hardened up this time, because in Zhuo Fei's battle plan, they had been given the greatest freedom as the division commander in charge, and Zhuo Fei didn't care about the process as long as the result was made, which gave Chen Geng, who was born in the Eighth Route Army and always liked to fight tough battles, more room to play. What's more, Zhuo Fei even took out the rocket artillery units and flight teams that had always been tightly held in his hands this time and distributed them to the attack troops, and Chen Geng, who had adapted to the strong firepower assault operation, was even more overjoyed, otherwise he would not have been able to make such a guarantee to Zhuo Fei.
"I don't want your heads, I just want to see you take Singapore successfully, and then force Yamashita to bring his southern marching corps to us for a decisive battle, and I also want to see the battle flag of the Independence Army planted throughout South Asia. Ladies and gentlemen, this battle is a battle of life and death for our lives, and I ask you to do your best not to waste these weapons and ammunition that the rear has worked so hard to produce day and night. Putting down the baton in his hand, Zhuo Fei solemnly straightened up for the first time and saluted the officers present.
After sending off the officers who had gathered to rush back to the army, Zhuo Fei summoned the commanders of the Burmese servant army at all levels into the war room, but this time, Zhuo Fei's attitude had changed drastically. "The vast majority of you have already received more than half a year of training, and some of you have even commanded troops that have received up to a year of special training, and now, it is time for you to use your skills to the fullest." Zhuo Fei smiled and looked around at the Burmese officers in front of him, although these people were just indigenous mountain people for a few months, but after more than half a year of training, these indigenous mountain people also had the breath of blood soldiers on their bodies.
"According to the employment contract signed between the Umbrella Company and you, once the war starts, I want you to carry out the advance according to the battle plan. In return, you will personally keep half of all the loot you have captured, and the Umbrella Company will help you send your personal portion to your family and bring back a handwritten receipt from your family. Wealth is just around the corner, I hope you don't waste a great opportunity, whether you can become a rich man on the rich side depends on your action. Zhuo Fei tried his best to bewitch the Burmese officers in front of him, and everyone's expressions became excited because of the translator's words.
The Burmese servants, who had originally broken into Thailand with the forward forces of the Independence Army, had been transferred to the border areas for recuperation, and their booty had already been sent back to Burma to their respective families. Just by following the heavily armed independence army to Thailand to fight for 2 months, the family can live a rich life like the owner of the Tusi village, and the Burmese natives who run around all day long just to fill their stomachs can not be red-eyed, and they also want to live a rich life for themselves and their families.
Bewitched, Zhuo Fei's attitude towards these Burmese servants is just demagogy, using all kinds of materials from the Thais to trick more Burmese young men into becoming mercenaries of the umbrella company, Zhuo Fei has never worried that the number of Burmese servants will be too large. After robbing Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Malaysia, in order to create a good environment for the immigration plan, Zhuo Fei has tried his best to lure more Burmese servants to participate in the weeding plan to eliminate the indigenous people of South Asia.
Individuals own half of the spoils, and their families have access to Umbrella Corp. medical care, which is why the Burmese natives flock to train as servants. Disease is the worst enemy of every Burmese, even the nobles who live in the city, they cannot escape the trouble and torment of disease. The indigenous Burmese who were selected to go to Ruili for training not only received medical care from Umbrella Corporation, but also their families.
Under word of mouth, coupled with the belongings that everyone has seen with their own eyes, the Umbrella Company's subsequent plan to recruit servant troops will be very smooth. The old saying is true, Zhuo Fei originally planned to recruit only 150,000 to 200,000 Burmese servants, but now, this number has been constantly changing, and so far, the umbrella company has recruited more than 300,000 Burmese natives.
The initial limit to 150,000 servants was due to the fact that the Umbrella Company was unable to provide more servants with weapons, but the Burmese natives, who were desperate for wealth, did not care. Machetes, bows and arrows, and even homemade spears were their weapons, and Zhuo Fei had to admit that these shoddy weapons could indeed kill people. Zhuo Fei's demagogy succeeded in making these Burmese natives who were eager to gain wealth excited, and under the leadership of their respective commanders, they followed the newly opened jungle road into Thailand.
"We're now sitting in a car that's about to get out of control, and the only way to survive is to keep going, and all the obstacles along the way, just crush them one by one." Facing Angela, who hurried to see him off from Ruili, Zhuo Fei chuckled, with a hint of tiredness and determination in his eyes. The ultimate plan he personally formulated has been implemented to this point, and there is no possibility of retreating at all, otherwise everything that the umbrella company has paid will be in vain.
Since he made this plan in the United States, everyone, including himself, has put in too much effort, and for four years, Zhuo Fei will never allow his efforts to come to naught. "Go back, if, I mean, if things change, leave the Jews alone, and you will immediately take the convoy left for you to join Vivien and find a way to go to Xi'an and wait for the war to end. That blue envelope in the safe contains some weapons materials, keep them safe, and when the war is over, you and Vivien will rely on them to make a comeback. ”
When he finally hugged Angela, Zhuo Fei whispered in Angela's ear, although the independence army had a good chance of winning this time, Zhuo Fei had already been accustomed to preparing a retreat in advance. Angela also had moisture in her eyes, but she still nodded lightly at Zhuo Fei, and at the same time promised that she would definitely ensure the logistics support of the Independent Army, and would never let the officers and soldiers of the Independent Army have a shortage of ammunition.
