Chapter Twenty-Eight: Everything Is Ready

Zhuo Fei added another fire to the battle on Kalimantan Island at the most opportune time, and the facts proved that Zhuo Fei's decision was very correct, and the helicopter attack force of the umbrella company also showed strong combat effectiveness. All this made MacArthur secretly wary of the Umbrella Company, a private company that can influence the direction of local wars is nothing to the powerful United States, but MacArthur has been wary of the Umbrella Company.

In fact, what really made MacArthur jealous was not the invincible helicopter attack force, but the endless new weapons and war equipment in the hands of the umbrella, if it was only an air-explosive bomb or rocket artillery weapon, it would have been forgotten, but the umbrella now has a helicopter gunship, which makes MacArthur have to be wary of the umbrella. If he could, MacArthur believed that Zhuo Fei should hand over these new weapons and equipment to the U.S. government, because MacArthur's American complex had always been superior to others.

Zhuo Fei didn't know what MacArthur was thinking, and even if he knew what MacArthur was thinking, he would only laugh at MacArthur's arrogance. The helicopter gunship participated in the actual combat attack and had been tested on the battlefield, and the engineers who landed on Kalimantan Island with the helicopter unit had already produced an acceptance report, but Zhuo Fei was not very satisfied. "This is not a small gap from the helicopter gunship I was expecting, we can't be satisfied with firing a few rockets or strafing them with rapid-fire machine guns, we have to upgrade them, I hope the upgraded helicopter will have a greater range and load capacity."

What makes Zhuo Fei sick is not only the current range and load capacity of the helicopter, but also the noise after the helicopter takes off, if it weren't for the soldiers of the helicopter attack force who have learned sign language, maybe the technician with the headset will not be able to hear what his partner is saying face to face. The successful helicopter gunship got Zhuo Fei's sickness, but it could not hide its strong combat effectiveness and battlefield performance, and the Independence Army, which had been serving as the vanguard, had begun to contact the attack squadron in an attempt to obtain the helicopter squadron's battlefield cover call.

At present, the umbrella does not have its own ground troops, 100,000 recruits have not yet completed their training, Zhuo Yan's special forces are still conducting mountain training in the mountains and forests of Burma, and the attack force that has just shone on the battlefield is only 2,000 people. Regarding Sir James's invitation to send troops, Zhuo Fei did not refuse, but just said that he should consider it carefully. If it is just a real combat opportunity to train the reserve force of the umbrella, then the appearance of the attack squadron can already prove their strength, but if the umbrella wants to get its own share of benefits from the war in Southeast Asia, it must send more troops to participate in the war.

After two days of careful consideration, and after consulting with his own staff group, Zhuo Fei met with Sir James again. "Sir, Umbrella can provide all the services we can offer at the moment, I'm just curious, we've put in our efforts, and what do we get in the end? In other words, what can you give the umbrella? Zhuo Fei didn't say a lot of nonsense this time, but went straight to the point, without the slightest intention of wasting time.

Zhuo Fei's initiative seemed to be a little unexpected by Sir James, and after a little flurging, Sir James, who came back to his senses, smiled and said, "Naturally, I can't promise anything, but I can make a promise to you on behalf of the British Empire, and it is definitely a big surprise." As he spoke, Sir James took out a document and handed it to Zhuo Fei. This is a document signed by the British royal family and the cabinet, and we know that the Jews have completely turned to the Americans, but there is still a new army under the umbrella that is about to complete their training. ”

Zhuo Fei was not surprised by how the British knew about the Umbrella Recruit Unit, but what really surprised him was the document he opened in his hand. "Sir, this joke is not funny, and April Fool's Day seems to have long passed." After reading the document brought by James, Zhuo Fei's first thought was that it was not credible, but after seeing James's expression at the moment, Zhuo Fei had to move his gaze back to the document.

"Zhuo, we are friends, I will not play tricks on friends, I swear to God, this document does come from the royal family and the cabinet." Sir James seemed to be very sad about Zhuo Fei's distrust, and after repeatedly assuring Zhuo Fei to believe it, Sir James's excitement calmed down. "Zhuo, I promise, as long as you agree to the conditions on the paper, the umbrella will truly gain the friendship of the British Empire, and Malaysia and Indonesia will be under the control of your umbrella."

The document Sir James brought was actually a contract of employment, the British government urgently needed a superior force to go to Africa to help them resist the German attack, and Malaysia and Indonesia had actually half of their territory controlled by the umbrella, so the British planned to push the boat with the territory of Southeast Asia that the umbrella already controlled in exchange for the support of the umbrella. The British are making a good calculation, Zhuo Fei secretly despises Sir James sitting in front of him, but he is always silent on the surface.

"Sir Sir, you should know that our Umbrella Company is not good at mechanized combat, especially against armored forces. Moreover, our soldiers were not adapted to the climatic conditions of North Africa, so instead of sending them to North Africa, it was better to follow the Arabian Peninsula all the way north, directly attack Turkey, and then launch an encirclement and suppression of the German army in the Mediterranean. Zhuo Fei did not refuse the olive branch extended by the British, but he also did not want to act according to the wishes of the British, but in front of Sir James, Zhuo Fei gave another direction for the war.

Yemen is at the southernmost tip of the Arabian Peninsula, and Somalia is across the sea from Yemen, so if Umbrella Corp's troops cross the Arabian Sea and land on the Arabian Peninsula in Yemen, Somalia will not be able to escape the palm of the umbrella. In order to convince Sir James, Zhuo Fei continued to add some chips to the election, "Mr. Sir, perhaps you have forgotten the main reason why the Jews defected to the Americans, they want to restore the country. If we land on the Arabian Peninsula and go north, Jordan will be regained by us, and if so, the Jewish Independence Army will not refuse to cooperate with us in fighting in the Mediterranean. ”

That's right, Zhuo Fei's words completely woke up Sir James, as long as the topic of returning to the Holy Land was thrown to the Jews, the Jews would inevitably stand on the side of the British Empire. Moreover, if Zhuo Fei's plan was truly adopted, the Jews' hope of returning to the Jordan River would no longer be a luxury, and this alone would persuade the Jewish independence army to return to the British Empire. Zhuo Fei's suggestion instantly refreshed Sir James, and he hurriedly ran to send a telegram to the British mainland, and now that the British mainland is in danger, being able to obtain the support of the umbrella and the Independence Army is more important to Sir James than anything else.

The British cabinet's reply also came quickly, and the British royal family even sent a telegram, saying that if the umbrella company really supported Britain this time, the royal family considered granting Zhuo Fei a knighthood. Since Europe entered the industrial age, the title representing the imperial power has long been worthless, but the title is a status symbol after all, if Zhuo Fei can obtain the title granted by the British royal family, it is an opportunity for the umbrella company to integrate into the European high society.

Zhuo Fei was not very interested in the knighthood granted by the British royal family, and he was not only interested in the autonomy of Southeast Asia that would be recognized by the British, but also the opportunity to get involved in the Arabian Peninsula. In order to create better conditions for this opportunity, Zhuo Fei even bluntly told Sir James that he could still get the full support of more than 200,000 troops from China. "Praise be to God, O God, it's wonderful." Sir James was even more pleasantly surprised to learn that Zhuo Fei could still get support from China. In this way, the Umbrella Company can fight more than 300,000 troops, plus the 300,000 troops of the Independence Army, can be supported by 600,000 troops, and Sir James seems to have seen the grand scene when he was awarded the title of Duke by the Royal Family.

Zhuo Fei did not interrupt Sir James's reverie, but asked Huffman to secretly order, "Continue to increase the recruitment of servant troops from Burma, and from now on, we will strengthen our control over the areas controlled by Southeast Asia." After the US-Australian coalition forces took Kalimantan, they used overseas Chinese troops to control the entire territory of Java, and all Indonesian natives had to be diverted, some of which were sent to Vietnam for mining and road repair, and the other part was sent to Kalimantan Island for infrastructure construction. ”

After secretly instructing Huffman, Zhuo Fei sent a telegram to Chongqing, repeatedly urging the coalition government to speed up the resettlement program, and now not only the five South Asian countries, but even Malaysia and Indonesia need a large number of immigrants to stabilize the situation and maintain production. Zhuo Fei has never had a good impression of the indigenous people of Southeast Asia, the original immigration plan was for the indigenous people of Southeast Asia, and now the umbrella's control of Malay and Indonesia has been affirmed by the British government, which allows Zhuo Fei to deal with the indigenous people of Southeast Asia freely.

Zhuo Fei asked for a large number of immigrants to go south, from one million at the beginning to ten million now, a large number of refugees who lost their homes and fields due to the war were escorted south by the government, and a large number of students and scholars who were not valued by the national government were also forced to go south to become immigrants. The umbrella does not care about this, as long as the Chinese go south, the umbrella will open the door, from the independence army to the south of Myanmar to the present, there have been more than 4 million Chinese immigrants in the five South Asian countries.

"It's not enough, it's not enough, millions of people look like a lot, but if the five South Asian countries are separated from Malaysia and Indonesia, you will find that this population is not enough at all. We also need more immigrants to fill Southeast Asia, and I heard that Henan has caused a disaster, and we can bring a large number of Henan people to Southeast Asia. There is too much land here that no one cultivates, as long as they are willing to come, each person is given 50 acres of land, and it is all good land with two crops a year. ”
