Chapter 189: I'll Be Disappointed
As the saying goes, 'one hand pays money, one hand hands people', as the most well-known war broker in the southwestern colonies, Nuvik said that he has been busy lately. He was idle before every wolf war, but after the war he became very busy.
This time ended with the negotiations of the Japanese army, and the first Japanese soldiers who were included in the 'death list' soon got into the car covered with black cloth. Escorted by the White Bear commandos, it took several days and nights to finally arrive at the so-called transit station.
When the representatives of the Japanese army stationed in the Indian colonies brought the ransom gold, the White Bear commandos who were in charge of escorting them handed over the Japanese 'dead' personnel who had changed into civilian clothes to the ransom Japanese soldiers, and handed over the money to the people.
Looking at the gold that was constantly being shipped back, Hu Biao, who was preparing to set up a bank to issue currency, also seemed extremely happy. In any case, after looting these ill-gotten gains from the Japanese army, Hu Biao did not feel any guilt in his heart.
At this time, Nuvik was responsible for exchanging prisoners of war with the Japanese army. The prisoners of war exchanged from the Japanese army were properly resettled in the country, and then the opinions of these prisoners of war were sought, and those who were willing to return to China were paid travel expenses to give them the opportunity to return to the country.
Those who are unwilling to return to China will be resettled by the local garrison. As for the exchange of foreign prisoners of war, Nuvik had to negotiate with foreign troops and charge a corresponding fee per capitation. In this regard, the foreign troops who dealt with it did not feel that there was anything wrong.
Through the exchange of prisoners of war, the Allies also learned more about the torture and humiliation of prisoners of war. To the frustration of the Allied generals, the Japanese prisoners of war they were able to capture were extremely scarce so far after fighting the Japanese army.
This also means that it will be very difficult to exchange prisoners of war who were previously captured by the Japanese army. Now that they spend some money, someone can solve this trouble for them, and the Allies naturally still think it is more cost-effective.
The exchanged prisoners of war naturally need to live in the area controlled by the wolf army for a period of time. During this time, the Wolves also sent medical personnel to examine the prisoners of war and treat their injuries and illnesses in the camp.
Allied prisoners of war who were fortunate enough to be exchanged were able to enjoy these benefits in the resettlement camps, even though they also spent money on them. But deep down, these prisoners of war are extremely grateful to the wolf army for rescuing them from the hellish prisoner of war camp.
Seeing these Allied prisoners of war who thanked them from the bottom of his heart, Nuvik also said with admiration: "This may be what the wolf head said, you have to thank you desperately for money." This hand is really powerful! ”
Earn the Japanese army and then the allies, and the truth that you can make money by fighting a war was also played by Hu Biao to the fullest. As the captain of the White Bear commando, Nuvik also feels that he has indeed learned a lot from Hu Biao.
Even the British colonial army, which was extremely dissatisfied with Hu Biao, had to admit that they owed this favor in the face of the wolf army's exchange of prisoners of war for them. And these exchanged prisoners of war are even more grateful to the wolf army.
In Hu Biao's words, the more Allied prisoners of war are exchanged, and the more Allied forces want to do something against the wolf army in the future, the more protests will be caused. After becoming prisoners of war, these Allied officers and soldiers were also extremely dissatisfied with the government's inaction.
If they want to do something to their benefactors, how can these prisoners of war who have been exchanged back not speak up?
Each time, the Japanese military transported prisoners of war held in other occupied territories back and transported the exchanged prisoners of war from the port. The various units of the Wolf Army, which had taken full control of the southwestern colonies, also began to enter the post-war reconstruction work.
The killing of a group of little devils with great public anger can be regarded as an explanation for the local people who have been harmed, and the rapid implementation of various relief work. The local people, who had already suffered hardship, also began to sincerely accept the arrival of the wolf army.
The previous rebel forces who defected to the Japanese army were also handed over to the people for trial by the wolf army after the Japanese army announced its surrender. As a result, it is obvious that the people who supported them in the past were so badly harmed by the Japanese army, how could they support them again?
Without saying anything, this group of people soon became traitors in the hearts of the people, feeling that these people were not for the people at all, but completely reduced to the lackeys of the little devils. This also means that the forces that dare to confront the wolf army have been swept away invisibly.
Considering the importance of Dagon City, Hu Biao stationed Lei Xiong's second division there, and with the other two main divisions, began to build fortifications and military camps. The third shipyard of the Wolf Army was also quickly built there.
The Sea Eagle Fleet also began to split into two, and the captured Japanese warships were formed into the Sea Eagle Second Fleet, which cooperated with the Sea Wolves Second Team to garrison Dagong City. Secondly, the fighters of an air brigade were also smoothly transferred to the airfield where the construction was completed.
In addition to the deployment of troops, Hu Biao did not forget the highway connection plan. It has been expanded to include four brigades of engineers, one of which has also begun to be responsible for the construction of roads. Existing roads will be expanded, and even railways will be built.
All in all, for the factory owners who came to invest in the southwest colonies to build factories, they were not happy in the face of the large number of orders given by the management committee. A new round of recruitment and construction of factories has kept the entire colony busy.
Education, medical and other civil affairs institutions have also begun to be laid down one after another. Although the Wolf Army has not yet declared independence, everyone knows that the real controller of the Southwest Colony is Hu Biao, the commander-in-chief of the Wolf Army.
Originally, someone suggested whether it was possible to prepare for independence, but Hu Biao still shook his head and said: "The time has not yet come!" As the saying goes, if we don't declare independence, who can replace us? High accumulation of walls, extensive accumulation of grain, slow king, understand? ”
The high accumulation of walls is to continue to expand the strength of the troops. Accumulating grain is to stabilize local construction, so that the people can recover from the war as soon as possible, and they will not be so poor. Slowing down the title of king naturally refers to the declaration of independence.
Moreover, Hu Biao did not plan to declare independence in the name of the wolf army, but planned to support some well-known local rebels and declare independence in the name of the rebels. And the wolf army acts as the backing and support of these rebels.
After all, those rebels are actually the armed forces of the wolf army. The impact of independence as a whole is significant, and if a sub-district declares independence, the impact will be smaller. Then, look for opportunities to unite the districts into a whole.
All in all, at least for Hu Biao at this stage, he will not be in a hurry to stand in the foreground. Instead, they continue to hide behind the scenes and become the real ones in power. As long as he controls the army, the government, and finances, who dares to bare his teeth with him?
At present, in the colony, the person who serves as the head of a government and the head of a division is not Hu Biao's direct cronies? Even if someone could bribe or rebel against the head of a certain prefecture, Hu Biao would be able to suppress the rebellion in a very short time.
If you stand in front of the stage, some things are not so convenient to do. It is not ruled out that he will stand in front of the stage in the future, and that should be when the situation is completely stabilized. At this stage, Hu Biao feels that it will be more advantageous to stand behind the scenes.
Knowing Hu Biao's thoughts, Old Ivan also agreed: "Standing in front of the stage, it seems that the scenery is infinite, but in fact, the dangers you need to face are beyond imagination. Hidden behind the scenes, it is not so noticeable, and it will make some people jealous.
As for Ivan Farm, I also intend to hand it over to you for management. I'm older and don't want to worry about so much anymore. Even if Nuvik is concerned, I don't plan to let him come to the stage. The Ivan family, it's better for you to hide it. ”
"Yes! It's just that Nuvik's side, what is his own opinion? ”
"He's been with you for so long, you should know him. In the early years, I put a lot of pressure on him, but now he is doing a great job and I am very proud of him. But I only have such a son, and I hope he will inherit my business! ”
Regarding Old Ivan's decision, Hu Biao thought for a while and said: "The Revival Association will still be managed by your family, and I will also set aside some factories on the farm side and hand them over to your family to be responsible for running." As long as the Hu family is here, these will not change!
But I hope to forgive me for one thing, there is no aristocrat in my place. In the future, including my children and grandchildren, they will have to support themselves. Sitting back and enjoying the success will only bring shame to the family and quickly decay. You can have wealth, but you can't have privilege! ”
Although he knew that this was difficult to control, Hu Biao still did not want the descendants of his descendants to become a privileged class that oppressed the common people in the future. The existence of aristocrats is not necessary in Hu Biao's opinion.
Perhaps in the future, his children and grandchildren will also inherit his legacy and power. But Hu Biao will also make reasonable judgments when handing over these powers. If he feels that his son is not suitable to take over power, he would rather let his son be a rich man.
To Hu Biao's relief, old Ivan does not seem to be opposed to this restriction either. The reason why Tsarist Russia was overthrown was largely due to the decay of the aristocracy. What's more, Hu Biao gave his own promise, what is he not satisfied with?
In order to beat these subordinates to purge the military and government, Hu Biao immediately ordered to summon the division commanders and political officials of the main combat divisions and fly to Zhenning Mansion to hold a military and political meeting.
At this meeting, Hu Biao said with a very serious expression: "I know that some of you feel fortunate that you have suffered for so many years, and now that the southwest colony is in hand, it should also be the time to reward meritorious deeds and enjoy the taste of tearing the soil and sealing it."
If that's what you're thinking, then I'm disappointed. Take the entire Southwest Colony, are we really safe? Have you ever thought that when this war is over, those powers will willingly let us control this place?
Now I want to put Nanshan in the horse, who gave you confidence? Even I was still trembling every day, and I didn't dare to let my guard down. Because I know that I need to be responsible for myself, and even more importantly, for the military and civilians who govern the territory.
Even if we are in charge of the power of this colony, if anyone dares to exert power over the people, no matter what great achievements you have done before, I will deal with you with military regulations and laws. If you don't believe me, you can try! ”
With Hu Biao saying these words loudly, people who know Hu Biao's character know that Hu Biao is really angry. Those who feel that they can relax and enjoy the taste of life and power are also starting to get nervous.
Everyone knows that everything they have now is due to Hu Biao's trust. If Hu Biao's trust is lost, everything will come to naught in an instant. If you don't knock on the warning in time, Hu Biao is also worried that something big will happen in the future!
