Chapter 23: The War Resumes

The war is once again burning out in Southeast Asia, which is what Zhuo Fei wants to see the most, and it is also what the Umbrella Company hopes to see in a large number of arsenals in Western Australia. The southward movement of a large number of Jewish workers has made the Umbrella Company's arsenal in Australia re-explode its strong production capacity, especially the implementation of the assembly line operation method and the three-shift production system proposed by Zhuo Fei, which has made the Umbrella Company's arsenal increase its production capacity repeatedly.

The increase in the production capacity of a large number of arsenals will produce a large number of military products, and the re-attack of the US-Australian coalition is a good time for these military products to enter the market. Zhuo Fei authorized the British to produce new semi-automatic rifles in the Australian arsenal, but the newly formed Australian new army has already exceeded one million scale, and it is difficult to ensure the supply of weapons to the new army with the British arsenal alone.

Truckloads of munitions were shipped out of the warehouse, in exchange for a large amount of wealth and cheap Western Australian land for the umbrella company, and the fleet between Australia and the five South Asian countries continued to send a huge amount of resources to Australia, into various factories, and to the tables of Australians. Angela, Vivian and others have long stopped complaining about Zhuo Fei's decision to go south, and after experiencing the test of blood and fire, the umbrella company that has been unable to make ends meet has finally ushered in a bumper harvest.

Relying on the plundering of various resources and materials from South Asia, and relying on the countless factories established by the Umbrella Company in Australia, the work of the Umbrella Company was finally on the right track, and the US-Australian coalition forces finally engaged in a firefight with the Japanese army in Indonesia. The 1st Independent Division, which was the first to land on the coast of Indonesia, once again showed its formidable combat effectiveness, not only opening up a large and safe landing ground for the coalition forces that landed later, but also advancing inland into Indonesia after repulsing the Japanese forces in succession.

Unlike the last passive defensive operation in the Philippines, the US-Australian coalition forces commanded by MacArthur this time were the active attackers, and by the time Yamashita Fengwen, who was resting in the Philippines, set off for Indonesia, MacArthur had already sent more than 300,000 coalition troops to the coastline of Indonesia. Of the 300,000 coalition troops that have landed in Indonesia, nearly 100,000 belong to the Jewish Independence Army, and the remaining 200,000 coalition troops include 80,000 indigenous South Asian servants.

Of the 300,000 coalition troops that have completed the landing, only 120,000 are real US-Australian coalition troops, which has to admit that MacArthur is indeed preparing to use the 1st Independent Division and the South Asian Servant Army as artillery troops, but Zhuo Fei does not care about this. "Since the Jews have decided to throw themselves into the United States and Britain in an all-round way, they must be psychologically prepared to be treated as artillery troops by the United States and Britain, and there is no free lunch in the world, and the Jews will have to pay a certain price if they want to use the United States and Britain to restore their country."

Knowing the current situation of the 1st Independent Division, Zhuo Fei not only didn't care about it, but also told Angela and others not to show their concern about the Independence Army in public, after all, the Independence Army has nothing to do with the umbrella company. The current war between the United States and Australia is going well, and MacArthur is full of confidence, but the Japanese army's response is not slow, and the southward marching corps under the command of Yamashita Fumimi immediately went south to Indonesia and deployed troops on Irian Island, showing a momentum of going south to attack the Australian mainland.

MacArthur was naturally not frightened by the troops deployed on Irian Island by Yamashita Fumi, and when the second wave of US-Australian coalition forces leaving the Australian mainland had not yet arrived in Indonesia, MacArthur dispatched about 60,000 allied troops to launch an attack on Irian Island. The Japanese troops deployed by Yamashita on Irian Island were only one B division and two flying regiments, which was no match for the 60,000 coalition troops.

The tragic battle began, and the originally picturesque Irian Island was also full of gunsmoke and war, and in the face of the tide of American and Australian coalition troops pouring into Irian Island, the Japanese troops on the island could only passively respond to the battle, and MacArthur seemed to have regained his former glory from these Japanese troops. The use of 60,000 well-equipped coalition troops to take Irian Island, which was defended by less than 20,000 Japanese troops, was nothing to MacArthur, who had always been arrogant, but MacArthur, who had a keen eye, saw in it a new way to deal with Yamashita Fengfumi and the Japanese army's southern marching corps.

Starting from Irian Island, MacArthur seemed to have suddenly opened his mind, and instead of focusing on gathering large forces to engage in a large-scale battle with Yamashita Fumi's Southern Advance Corps, he instead dispatched small units with strong combat strength to first sweep away the scattered Japanese troops on the islands around Indonesia. By the time Yamashita and the 1st Independent Division exchanged fire on Kalimantan, MacArthur's peripheral forces had conquered a large number of islands, including the New Guinea Islands, and launched an attack on Sulawesi.

In order to ensure that the supply of materials to the United States and Australia coalition forces will not be interrupted, a large number of Australian women who were originally idle at home entered the factory and served as the mainstream force of military production. Because the arsenal of the Umbrella Company is based on a large number of Jews, there is no manpower difficulties faced by the British factories, and in this military production game, the arsenal under the command of the Umbrella Company has faintly gained the upper hand.

Since the United States and Britain promised to distribute new semi-automatic rifles to the soldiers of the indigenous servant army in South Asia, the speed at which all arsenals on the Australian continent produce new semi-automatic rifles has not been able to keep up with the needs of the coalition forces. "I didn't expect the Japanese Navy to blockade the Pacific Ocean, but it helped us a lot, otherwise, it would not be possible to sell all the rifles we produced to the coalition forces."

After taking stock of the shipments of the Australian arsenal in the recent period, Angela couldn't help but sigh suddenly, but she didn't want to immediately attract Vivian's ridicule. "Angela, you are becoming more and more like Grandet now, and you are busy calculating how much money you have earned all day long, can't you leave the books to the treasurer to deal with? There are more than 30 financial officers in our company who receive high salaries every month. Vivien's taunt did not annoy Angela, but instead Angela deliberately took the ledger to Vivien and dangled it.

As Vivien said, the Umbrella Company is now a big business, employing more than 30 financial officers alone, but Angela is still used to accounting for those accounts by herself, although it is only a few of them, but Angela is happy to do it. Relying on a large number of South Asian materials as the basis, the ordnance produced by the arsenal under the umbrella company will always be lower than the price of the ordnance produced by the Australian local arsenal.

If it weren't for Zhuo Fei who bought some of the materials shipped from South Asia to the Australian arsenals, perhaps these Australian arsenals would have been run on and bankrupted by the umbrella company. "How's the situation on Ruili's side?" After Angela and Vivien stopped playing, Zhuo Fei asked about Ruili's situation, the weapons laboratory hidden in the mountains had gone south, and most of the Jews in Ruili had not yet withdrawn.

According to Zhuo Fei's intentions, the engineers and technicians in the arsenal base were the first to be escorted south by the Umbrella Forces Forces troops, followed by the weapons laboratory in the mountains, and finally the turn of the selected number of workers and their families. In order to prevent the Jews from growing up in Australia, the ordinary Jews in the Ruili gathering place were left in Ruili by Angela, and for this reason, Angela deliberately spread an excuse that the umbrella would return to Ruili.

From the time he first came into contact with Jews in Europe, Zhuo Fei never really believed in Jews, and it was not without the Jews themselves that Jews could not return to their homeland after thousands of years. In the perception of almost all Europeans, Jews are greedy, and every dollar earned by Jews is stained with the blood and sweat of Europeans, especially the attitude of Jews who only care about profits, which is a stain on all European countries.

At the beginning, the Jews would agree to serve the Umbrella Company for five years free of charge, and that was because Zhuo Fei saved them and gave them a piece of paradise to live on. However, with the strong attack of the independence army and the increasing expansion of the area controlled by the umbrella, the Jews became more and more dissatisfied, especially the so-called Zionist organizations secretly formed by the Jews, who thought that the Jews gave too much, but what they got could not be proportional to what they paid.

Fortunately, Zhuo Fei discovered the dissatisfaction and performance of the Jews in advance, so he returned the command of the Independence Army to the Jews, and chose to stand by when the Jews were fully turned to the United States and Britain. "We only need those scientists and engineers, and then those skilled craftsmen, and the rest of the Jews will stay in Ruili." When Angela was about to transfer the Jews south to Australia, Zhuo Fei gave such an attitude.

"The Jews have been in exile for thousands of years, and no country has really accepted them, these scientists who only have research data in their heads don't care about politics and affairs, they only live in their own world like outsiders, and our umbrella company can provide these scientists with the best equipment and sufficient research funds in the world. If it were me, I would never choose to leave the umbrella company, and there is no place in the world that accepts them so leniently and sincerely. ”

More than 90 percent of the Jewish scientists and engineers in the Ruili gathering point were tricked by Zhuo Fei into coming to Australia, and these people were placed in the newly built Green Light Town of the Umbrella Company, and the research base prepared for them by the Umbrella Company was under the ground of the Green Light Town. Zhuo Fei has always valued the power of science and technology, and when almost all countries in the world are busy with war, the umbrella company has been actively developing science and technology and stockpiling various new technologies that have been successfully developed.
