When Aung announced the independence of Myanmar, Zhoujiadao was the first to issue a telegram: support Myanmar independence and congratulate Aung on being the first president of Myanmar.

Chang Liang sent a telegram on behalf of the Indonesian government: support Myanmar's independence and congratulate Aung on his appointment as the first president of Myanmar.

Cui Haitao sent a telegram on behalf of the Malaysian government: support Myanmar's independence and congratulate Aung on his appointment as the first president of Myanmar.

And Brunei, which survived in the gap between Cui Haitao, also issued a telegram after talking with Cui Haitao: support Myanmar's independence and congratulate Aung on his appointment as the first president of Myanmar.

Ten hours after Zhou Lin's telegram, the United States also telegraphed: support Burma's independence and congratulate Aung on his appointment as the first president of Burma.

This was a condition of the U.S. negotiations with Aung that Aung support the Chinese Expeditionary Force, while the U.S. government supported Aung and recognized Burma's independence.

As soon as the United States spoke, those small countries that followed the United States issued telegrams one after another: they supported Burma's independence and congratulated Aung on his appointment as the first president of Burma.

The old man in Chongqing saw the many calls, and said to Dai Li: "What I said at the beginning is not wrong, Zhou Lin is not the master under the fence, now he will honor it." ”

Mao Yimin said: "It was Aung who became the president of Myanmar, and it was not him who became the president of Myanmar. ”

The old man asked, "Is there a difference?" Ang didn't listen to Zhou Lin yet. ”

Mao Yimin stopped talking, and he also thought that Ang must have listened to Zhou Lin.

"Now Myanmar, Indonesia, Malaysia are in his hands. The next step may be to reach out to the Philippines. The old man said.

Before the old man could finish speaking, a telegram came from the guard.

The old man sighed and said, "Immediately electrify and support Burma's independence." ”

Seeing Mao Yimin's puzzled look, the old man handed them the telegram.

After the two of them saw it, they couldn't help but be surprised, what the old man said was accurate.

"Two hours ago, the U.S. military attacked the Philippines."

As a result, the Chinese government in Chongqing sent a telegram to support Burma's independence and congratulate Aung on his appointment as the first president of Burma.

And by the time the old man sent the telegram, the Battle of Zhoujiadao had already ended.

The Japanese Sasaki Brigade was completely wiped out, and not a single person survived.

Zhou Lin immediately sent a telegram: "My Zhoujiadao army, after three days of hard fighting, annihilated the 50,000 Philippine troops, more than 10,000 Malay troops, and the Japanese Sasaki Brigade that invaded Zhoujiadao. None of the Sasaki brigades survived. I decided that the Zhoujiadao Army would go to the Philippines to support the Filipino people's just struggle against the Japanese. ”

Behind Zhou Lin, Chang Liang also made a clear telegram: "The Indonesian people support the freedom of the Filipino people to fight." It was decided to send the Indonesian army into the battle to liberate the Philippines. ”

Cui Haitao is not lagging behind, and he also made it clear that "the Malaysian people support the Filipino people in fighting for freedom." It was decided to send the Malaysian army into the battle to liberate the Philippines. ”

Aung also telegraphed: "The people of Myanmar are fighting for the freedom of the Filipino people. It was decided to send the Burmese Army to fight for the liberation of the Philippines. ”

On July 26, 1944, the US air force successively attacked military industrial centers in the Philippines, Taiwan, and Okinawa, blowing up a large number of Japanese planes and gaining air supremacy.

Two divisions of the 10th and 24th armies of the U.S. Army formed the northern and southern assault groups and launched an attack on the Japanese troops defending the island.

From the 26th to the 29th, the US and Japanese navies conducted a large-scale naval battle in the waters of Leyte Gulf.

At the end of the battle, most of the Japanese troops defending the island were annihilated, and the American troops captured Leyte Island.

In the Battle of Leyte Island, the 1st, 16th, and 26th Divisions and the 68th Brigade of the Japanese 35th Army were all annihilated, which was the first time since the Pacific War that the Japanese army was annihilated by three divisions in the battle for the island.

Subsequently, about 200,000 troops of the US 6th Army, with the support of the Navy and Air Force, attacked Lingjiayan Bay on the west coast of Luzon Island in the Philippines.

In order to seize Manila as soon as possible, the US 8th Army landed in the area south of Manila and attacked Manila.

Then the U.S. forces continued their offensive, compressing the remnants of the Japanese army in northern Luzon and the area east of Manila, cutting off supplies, water and food, epidemics, and a large number of attrition, with heavy casualties.

The Japanese troops who retreated into the mountains one after another completely lost their combat capability, and thus the Philippine campaign ended. In this battle, the American army lost 47,000 people, and the Japanese army lost more than 200,000 people.

When the U.S. military began its attack on the Philippines, Zhou Lin met with a guest on Zhoujia Island.

Sergio Osmina, Vice President of the Philippines before the Japanese occupation of the Philippines.

The meeting between the two was brokered by the deputy director of the CIA, Zhou Lin's immediate superior, Lieutenant General.

"I'm also half Chinese." Sergio Osmina said.

Zhou Lin nodded, he had investigated and knew that Sergio Osmina was a mixed-race child, and he was born in China.

Sergio Osmina hoped that Zhou Lin would support him and get the presidency of the Philippines on the condition that the Philippine government would work closely with Zhoujiadao to maintain stability and prosperity in the South Seas.

Zhou Lin originally had the idea of seeking the Philippines, but the lieutenant general's words dispelled Zhou Lin's thoughts, because the Philippines was forbidden by the United States.

Zhou Lin has not yet been arrogant to the point of directly opposing the United States on the surface.

For this reason, he went to the Miko Tea House and drank the tea invited by Kobayashi.

There was also Yamada who drank tea, and Zhou Lin came to listen to Yamada's opinion, and he often came to ask for advice.

Yamada drank tea and pointed out the shortcomings of Kobayashi's tea brew and asked him to pay attention.

And Xiao Lin listened carefully to Yamada's advice, this scene reminded Zhou Lin of Yamada's advice to himself when he first met Yamada eight years ago.

"America is a big crocodile, you are a small shark, you haven't grown up yet."

Yamada only said one word, and Zhou Lin knew what to do.

After drinking tea, Zhou Lin came to the guest house and expressed his willingness to support Sergio Osmina to become the president of the Philippines.

Subsequently, with the support of Zhoujiadao, Sergio Osmina defeated the incumbent president, preventing the incumbent president from being re-elected and becoming the new president of the Philippines.

As a result of Sergio Osmina's beginnings, in the following decades, every president had a close relationship with Zhoujiadao.

There was once a president who did not believe in evil and opposed Zhoujiadao, and was finally killed by his guards, and as soon as he died, the vice president who took over immediately visited Zhoujiadao. That's an afterword.

Zhou Lin became a tyrant in Nanyang, which many people who knew him did not expect.

The old man in the Pearl Detective Department always likes to mention it: "When Zhou Lin first joined the detective team, he was still a hairy boy who didn't know anything. ”

The most regrettable among them is the old man, who knew that Zhou Lin had no intention of fighting for the king and hegemony, and just wanted to control it secretly, so how good it would be if he didn't drive Zhou Lin away.

If there is the support of Nanyang, he will have a great economic support in anti-Japanese and anti-communism.

Military support? The old man doesn't want to, what if people come and don't leave?
