Chapter 118: I'm afraid I'm going to cry again!
If you want to achieve rapid development, you must have a relatively stable territory and population. In addition to the triangle area, Hu Biao also controlled Zhenning Mansion in his hands. These two plots of land alone are enough to house millions of people.
At the current rate of migration, it is certainly not enough to fill the demographic gap. Fortunately, Hu Biao is not in a hurry, as long as the plane tree is planted, he will not worry about attracting the golden phoenix. Even if it is immigration, Hu Biao does not want it to be mandatory.
The arrival of a large number of troops also brought a sense of security to the people who moved here. In contrast, the aborigines living in the area did not dare to speak up when they saw a large number of well-groomed troops stationed there, even if they were dissatisfied.
After all, they had accepted the rule of the colonial government earlier, and when the Wolf Army took control of the area, some of the tax policies formulated and promulgated by the Colonial Government were also canceled by the Wolf Army. These measures have also been well received by the indigenous people.
What's more, in addition to the arrival of a large number of troops, the construction of a large number of caravans and factories also provided many opportunities for the aborigines to work. The most surprising thing for the aborigines was that Zhenning Mansion began to set up primary and secondary schools in the township.
School-age children, including indigenous peoples, have access to education. When the news spread, many aborigines felt that the group of people who controlled Zhenning Mansion were much friendlier and more lovely than those in the previous colonial government.
In fact, among the people who lived in Zhenning Province in the early days, except for a small number of real aboriginal aborigines, a large part of them were descendants of Chinese who relocated in the early years. Historically, this was a subsidiary of China.
Through internal training and domestic and foreign selection, there are many government personnel prepared within the Wolf Army. In the counties of Xilong and Funing, those who have served as political officials in the corresponding civil affairs have also been promoted here.
In terms of position, it is naturally much higher than before. Anyway, this is also a place!
In addition to vigorously developing people's livelihood projects, Hu Biao also attaches great importance to road construction. In the early years, Zhenning Mansion was also a transit station on the ancient Silk Road. Now, Hu Biao has also opened two other roads, connecting the nearest Yunnan province.
The Xilong Chamber of Commerce organized earlier, many of which relied on the Chamber of Commerce to make money, seemed to know that there was meat to eat with the Chamber of Commerce. After the opening of the trade route, a large number of horse teams and merchant gangs entered Zhenning Mansion, giving this ancient trade route a new lease of life.
From beginning to end, Hu Biao, who was very concerned about the safety of the caravan, naturally did not forget to deploy vigilant patrol troops along the way. If there are resistance forces that threaten the safety of the horse team, Hu Biao will also eradicate them mercilessly. Radish and stick are also necessary means!
Hu Biao, who personally arrived at Zhenning Mansion to take charge of everything, received an urgent telegram from the Shuo Rat Intelligence Group not long after. Looking at the content on the telegram, Hu Biao was silent for a long time and said: "Notify the local intelligence department and send 100,000 worth of medicine to Chief Li!" ”
"Yes, wolfhead!"
As the wolf army shifted its attention to the southwest, Hu Biao only stayed at the stage of paying attention to the affairs of the domestic battlefield. The just-concluded Battle of Zaoyi seems to have been fought for a longer time than in history.
But there are some things that still can't be changed or avoided. In the urgent telegram just sent by Shuo Rat, it was already informed that the battle had finally ended, and the two sides had once again maintained a state of confrontation, but the confrontation between the large corps had ended.
In this battle, General Zhang Zizhong, who served as the commander-in-chief of the Right Route Army, was martyred. Even if Hu Biao knew that this was something that had already happened in the history of the Anti-Japanese War. But now that he was on this plane, he still felt guilty.
Sometimes Hu Biao also thinks that if he didn't come to the southwest and still led troops to participate in the Battle of Zaoyi, would the situation change? In the end, the conclusion is still unknown.
Even many times, Hu Biao will begin to worry, because his appearance has changed the situation of the Anti-Japanese War. If this continues, no one knows what this eight-year war of resistance will become.
"In my name, I sent a sealed telegram to Chief Li of the Fifth War Zone, informing him of the donation of medicines. Second, I hope that Chief Li will be able to properly resettle those wounded officers and soldiers. If there are other needs, our department will do our best to support! ”
"Yes, wolfhead!"
Looking at the subordinates who began to send telegrams, Hu Biao, who was staying at the temporary headquarters, also said with emotion: "It is said that man will win the day, but if you really experience these things, you will know what it means to have more than enough heart and not enough strength."
As someone who had just arrived on this plane, alone, I seemed fearless. But now, he has a lot of soldiers. But when the war started, it was not as happy as before. So many people eat with them, and a lot of things are up to themselves! ”
When the accompanying staff officer returned, Hu Biao continued: "Send a telegram to the Shuo Rat Intelligence Group, draw elite backbones from the local action team, and be sure to find a way to kill one of the little devil's generals." Use this general's head to see General Zhang off! ”
"Yes, wolfhead!"
Although I don't understand why Hu Biao gave such an order, the accompanying staff officers knew very well that the secret telegram sent by the Shuo Rat Intelligence Group earlier made Hu Biao look very angry. This kind of retaliatory assassination often results in the sacrifice of the operatives.
But sometimes, that's the way it is, and some sacrifices are inevitable after all!
After giving this order, Hu Biao said again: "Send a telegram to the second division to ask, didn't the little devil just settle in Haiphong City?" Order the lurking reconnaissance detachment to detonate the explosives planted before, and I want to make the little devil happy in vain! ”
"Yes, wolfhead!"
Knowing the defeat in the Battle of Zaoyi and the martyrdom of General Zhang, Hu Biao was extremely unhappy. If you can't return to the front line to fight for the time being, then you can only find the nearest little devil to relieve your anger. This also means that the little devil who has just taken over Haiphong City is going to be unlucky.
Sure enough, that night, Haiphong City, which had just been taken over by the Japanese army, there was another shocking explosion. Many Japanese soldiers who were in charge of guarding the port only heard the constant thunder and the buildings that were constantly being blown up.
"Yaga! How so? ”
Looking at Haiphong City, which was shrouded in explosions and flames, except for a few troops patrolling outside the city, they were lucky to escape. The fate of the Japanese combat units stationed in Haiphong City can be imagined.
When Louis, who was remotely commanding the war in Indochina at Dagon, received a telegram from Brigadier General Peake, he couldn't help but bared his teeth and said, "God! These people are too cruel! These Fusang people, I'm afraid they're going to cry again! ”
For the betrayal of the Fusang, as the governor sent by Francois to the colonies, Louis naturally hated it very much. At the same time, Louis was also afraid of the Japanese army. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to Dagon's side.
At this stage, the situation in the colonies, which are under the jurisdiction of England, is relatively peaceful. Even the British colonial army was also on guard against an attack by the Japanese army at any time. But in a short period of time, the Japanese army did not dare to turn their faces directly with England.
In this attack on Haiphong City alone, the Menia side, which had a close relationship with England, also made solemn representations to Fuso. Even the parliament in Menia is debating the imposition of a material ban on Fuso and cutting off the oil supply to Fuso.
Everyone knows that Menia was also a colony of England before independence. Although it gradually became stronger through the First World War, Yingji's influence on Menia should not be underestimated, and it was normal for them to put pressure on Fuso.
Attacking a territory that had been conquered, the Japanese did not feel like they were worried about anything. But if you really want to move the British colonies in Asia, then declare a complete declaration of war between Fuso and the Allies. For Fuso, this is not ready for this for the time being.
Even though he knew that doing so would completely anger the Japanese army, Louis still declared that this was a retaliatory action by the colonial army. The explosion was also to show the outside world that Indochina was Franco-French and no one was allowed to touch it.
If the Japanese continued to attack Indochina, then Louis assured that all the Japanese would end up with was a chaotic and tattered Indochina. The Japanese army did not let the French side have a good time, and the Indochina colonial army did not let the Japanese army have a good time.
Looking at this telegram, many unwitting forces also began to claim that Louis was the iron-blooded governor of Farancy. Only Nuvik shook his head and said, "Ray, why do you want to give such an honor to this guy?" He's a coward! ”
"Isn't that bad? Is honor really important to us? For us, what we need most now is development time. Wouldn't it be better to let Louis attract the Japanese firepower for us? ”
"Lei, is this what the wolf head said, do things in a high-profile manner and be a low-key person?"
"Hey, hey! You can understand it this way, too! With this telegram, the Japanese army and the colonial army of Indochina were completely enmity. I dare to say that the Japanese army will definitely find a way to send someone to Dagon to assassinate Louis, and your chance to make money has come! ”
"That's right! Many of the high-ranking French colonial officials who hid in Dagon began to hire my subordinates to provide them with security. Even those high-ranking colonial officials in England are contacting me, hoping to hire some personal bodyguards! ”
"That's good! When things are almost settled here, you'd better go to Dagon and take command in person. The high-ranking officials of the colonies are now curious about you. I'm afraid I'm going to leave it to you when I deal with them! ”
"It's okay, I love this kind of errand!"
Through this defensive counterattack of Haiphong City, Nuvik, codenamed White Bear, also entered the eyes of the colonial government. Many high-ranking colonial officials knew that Nuvic had great influence in the southwest, and even had extremely elite and powerful mercenary groups under his command.
And the old Ivan, who is currently building a farm and a small town near Daman Island, is Nuvic's father. As former aristocrats of Tsarist Russia, some people even wonder if the two fathers and sons have obtained the treasures buried in Tsarist Russia.
If not, why would the two fathers and sons, who were originally extremely downtrodden in the Shanghai Concession, suddenly rise so fast? Until now, the various forces have not yet known the subordination of the two fathers and sons to Hu Biao. This also shows that Hu Biao's identity is very hidden.
It was precisely because of this concealment that most of the colonial officials mistakenly believed that the Chinese who entered the colony were all hired by Nuvik. But they know that Nuvik's father and son are Hu Biao's subordinates!
