When the focus of the southwest turned to the British colonies, Hu Biao unexpectedly chose to attack the Japanese army. In the face of the counteroffensive situation in the Indochina colony, although the Japanese army felt that something was inappropriate, it could not draw too many troops to defend and confront.

In addition, most of the areas that Hu Biao chose to attack were places that the Japanese army did not pay much attention to. Even though the Japanese knew that there might be serious consequences for reconnecting the colonies with the two southwestern provinces, they still had no time to take care of this side of the matter.

In the eyes of many people, Hu Biao's choice of timing for the counterattack was too appropriate. After being attacked by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor, Menia, which took advantage of its strong industrial manufacturing capabilities, finally dispatched aircraft carriers and fleets to begin a counterattack against the Japanese army.

The most brutal naval battle in the Pacific Ocean has also been completely announced. Under such circumstances, even if the Japanese army in charge of the Indochina war asked the cabinet for help, it is believed that the cabinet would not have time to take care of it, and would focus more on the British colonies and the South Seas.

What's more, the most important port of Haiphong in Indochina is still under the control of the Japanese army. The areas that the Wolf Army really annexed were actually some very remote coastal areas, which did not have much practical value to the Japanese army.

Seeing that the cabinet ministers didn't care much, but ordered them to shrink their forces to ensure the safety of the front line of Haiphong City, what else could the Japanese troops stationed in Indochina do. The Japanese army continued to shrink, and the wolf army continued to press until the combat deployment was completed.

Although he failed to recapture Haiphong City, Bai Chongxi was also extremely happy to learn that the wolf army controlled the border area: "In this way, the defense troops deployed on the front line of the Japanese army can be transferred to the coastal area." ”

"Yes! General Flying Fox's troops took over the Japanese defense area and soon sent condolences to our defenders, and our troops stationed on the front line will probably be reluctant to leave! The people there also breathed a sigh of relief during this time. ”

"This shows that it is still very necessary for us to have a good relationship with them. However, General Flying Fox also sent a telegram earlier, so that we should not be vigilant. Who dares to guarantee that the Japanese army will not come back after thwarting the conspiracy of the Japanese army in the previous round?

In the event of loss of sea and air supremacy, we must ensure the security of the coastal areas. Let the troops stationed on the border rest for a while, transfer to the coastal zone one after another, and start building fortifications there, and it is not a bad thing to take precautions early! ”

"Yes, General!"

For the generals who have cooperated with Hu Biao, no one dares to ignore Hu Biao's research and judgment on the battle situation. According to Hu Biao's analysis, it is very likely that the Japanese army will launch the Southwest Campaign again in the future, and even the intensity of the offensive will be greater than before.

In this case, if Gui Jun feels that everything is worry-free, then sooner or later he will suffer. Although the wolf army can cooperate with the Gui army, the far water can't save the near fire. For the Japanese army, there are still many places that can land in Gui Province!

Fortunately, at this stage, the cement and steel factories under Hu Biao's command have a large output, and the Gui department is also cheaper than before to purchase these materials for building fortifications. In order to ensure the safety of the nest, Bai Chongxi was also willing to pay this money for peace of mind.

Seeing that the newly formed infantry division had successfully completed the expected battle plan formulated by itself, the entire Indochina colony, except for a few coastal areas controlled by the Japanese army, the rest of the inland areas were already under the jurisdiction of the wolf army.

In view of this situation, Hu Biao also convened a meeting of political officials headed by Zhu Chengzong to discuss how to develop Indochina's strategy. In addition to selecting government officials who have been trained and experienced, Hu Biao also launched a series of policies to reassure the people.

After listening to Hu Biao's arrangement, Zhu Chengzong said with a wry smile: "If we want to train government personnel, because we have been doing it, it should not be a big problem to select outstanding and qualified young government personnel to take up their posts." In terms of supportable bonuses, I am afraid that there is a big gap. ”

How poor the Indochina colony was, Zhu Chengzong, as the chief political officer, could not be more clear. In the eyes of others, Zhenning Mansion has changed extremely rapidly over the years. But everyone knows that this is the result of Hu Biao's heavy investment.

Now there are six more prefectures, and the number of people who need jurisdiction has doubled. The economic situation of these six provinces is undoubtedly extremely unoptimistic. If you want to change the status quo of these six prefectures, you really need to invest a lot of money.

Regarding the complaints of Zhu Chengzong and others, Hu Biao thought for a while and said: "It is definitely impossible to change the status quo in a short period of time. But we have taken over these areas, and we must let the people see some benefits, and building roads is undoubtedly a policy to enrich the people.

Later, I will ask the Ministry of Finance and Taxation to allocate 6 million oceans of funds to you, and each government will be able to share 1 million yuan in support funds for road construction. Second, another 3 million medicines and a number of medical personnel will be allocated to improve the problem of medical treatment for the people in the areas under their jurisdiction.

Clothing, food, housing, and transportation are related to the common people, and I will also invest in the early funds. When the government officials take office, they can also explore some mines, invite the private mine owners of the Chamber of Commerce to build factories over there to invest, and I will also arrange them on the side of the Industrial Department! ”

"With so much money invested in the past, we should be able to see some results!"

"Again, at present, we are still focusing on developing military strength, supplemented by stabilizing people's livelihood. Let the people under our rule see our sincerity and let them absolutely support us, which is what we need to work for.

I will also resettle the immigrants who moved in the later period to the six prefectures one after another, and you also need to choose a suitable place to settle these new immigrants. For us, these immigrants are the core base of people who really support us. ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

Compared with the early years, Hu Biao only moved the families of the officers and soldiers of the army, and now the number of people who take the initiative to move has also begun to increase. Many people in the occupied areas learned that there was a chance to live in the southwest, and they also moved to the southwest with their families and families.

The loss of so many people naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of some officials in the Kuomintang region. The question is, Hu Biao also said directly: "If they can let the people under their rule live and work in peace and contentment, who wants to stay away from their homeland and go to the southwest to earn a living?" ”

Those who moved voluntarily, Hu Biao privately arranged for the people to publicize them, and as long as they arrived in the colony, they would be properly resettled. The premise is that these immigrants can be allocated simple houses and a one-year ration of living supplies.

The first three months are free, and the last eight months are repaid. The immigrants who were allocated land felt that they could be self-sufficient in just one year as long as they were willing to work hard.

According to the policy formulated by Hu Biao, the land allocated to the immigrants enjoys a two-year tax exemption policy. Similar to the miscellaneous taxes in the country, the taxes on the colonial side are very small. Farmers, in the case of farmers, only need to pay a certain amount of agricultural taxes.

The real source of taxes for the Wolves is more from commercial trade. Secondly, there is the income from the factories and mines that have been built one after another, as well as some of Hu Biao's income at home and abroad.

Including the sale of weapons, ammunition and medicines to some domestic generals, it is also one of the main sources of income for the wolf army. is similar to giving away the Eighth Route Army, in fact, Hu Biao is also very painful. After all, those pieces of equipment can sell for a lot of money!

In general, the current annual income of the Wolves Army is not low, but the expenditure is also not low. In particular, the main combat forces have been expanded one after another, and military spending has begun to increase. So much so that Hu Biao also considered it and began to do some foreign trade in military supplies.

Similar to sapper shovels, canned luncheon meat, compressed dry food, shoes and clothing, and other military supplies, the amount of military supplies purchased by the Allies from Hu Biao is also increasing. This also means that the funds invested by Hu Biao in the early stage are constantly reaping benefits.

Even Hu Biao had begun to consider selling individual weapons such as recoilless guns and bazookas to the Allies. Although the performance of these weapons is superior, it is undoubtedly faster to purchase them outright than to redevelop and imitate them.

In short, while expanding his territory and constantly fighting against the Japanese army, Hu Biao did not forget to open up financial routes. It was precisely because of the sufficient funds that Hu Biao dared to make the move of annexing the colony of Indochina. As for the indigenous people's opinions, as long as they are not afraid of death, then they can make trouble!

Seeing the new weapons recommended by Hu Biao, the allies decisively gave a large order. In the eyes of the Allies, although Hu Biao's weapons were not cheap, they could be owned in large quantities, and they could be quickly put into use on the battlefield as long as they were transported to the front line.

When the first batch of recoilless guns and bazookas arrived at the Allied front, many officers were surprised: "This is a weapon made in Huaxia?" How advanced and powerful is their weapon-making technology? ”

"It's all small-caliber artillery, how can it be called advanced? However, these weapons are still very powerful against tanks and armored vehicles. With these weapons, our combat units can also reduce casualties one step closer. ”

The courage to sell these weapons is more due to Hu Biao's feeling that he has not thought about forming a mechanized army for the time being. At present, the military factory is also developing and formulating land tanks and armored vehicles, but it is difficult to put them into use on the battlefield.

In terms of the state of the roads in the colonies, only a few areas were suitable for mechanized troops to carry out operations. In the jungle, it is also difficult to deploy mechanized troops. In contrast, Hu Biao has invested heavily in the research and development of armed helicopters.

Satisfying the current situation and its own needs and developing equipment that is truly suitable for use by combat units is the military research and development strategy formulated by Hu Biao. Even, after the successful development of the bazooka, he has ordered the development of large-caliber rocket artillery.

Similar to the missiles that Germany is developing and improving, the military research and development department under Hu Biao is actually also conducting research and development. The annual R&D funds, if any, will shock the Allies.

For Hu Biao, as long as the money is enough. The huge wealth he has earned has been continuously used to improve his strength and military strength. As long as there is enough strength and troops, is Hu Biao still afraid of worrying about running out of money?

In the eyes of many, the Wolves' immediate priority was to drive the Japanese army out of the southwestern colonies. But in fact, Hu Biao is now able to do this. But why not?

Hide your strength, continue to develop in a low-key manner, and prepare for the future competition with the colonial owning countries. With only a few years left until the end of World War II, how can we deter those colonial powers if we don't seize the time to develop military strength and technology?
