In fact, Zhao Tiehu was somewhat surprised by the US military's proposal to evacuate a large number of stranded prisoners of war and expatriates. But in terms of long-term strategic significance, Zhao Tiehu felt that this matter would be beneficial to both the Xinghua Army and Nanyang.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, foreigners currently living in areas controlled by the Xinghua Army are likely to become hostages in the hands of the Xinghua Army in the future. But there are really few armies that dare to do such things.

Taking hostages of other countries in response to war will only make more people resentful of the army. Even if the war can't get the 'civilians' away, it's one thing to be affected, and it's another thing to take them hostage.

In this kind of thing, although the little devil has done a lot of immoral things, Zhao Tiehu doesn't want to do it. On the contrary, I feel that letting these foreigners leave can also get rid of some burdens for the Xinghua Army.

After all, there are really a lot of foreigners living in the areas controlled by the Xinghua Army, and in order to protect the safety of these people and provide them with corresponding living materials, it is also a big trouble for the Xinghua Army.

Now that the United States has first launched the evacuation of expatriates, Zhao Tiehu got the money he should have received, and he also pushed the boat to send these foreigners out of the control area of the Xinghua Army. The American expatriates who were willing to stay, Zhao Tiehu did not order them to leave.

Everything seems to be voluntary, and the Xinghua Army does not increase any threshold and difficulty in this matter. This kind of behavior, after being exposed by many foreign media, has also won the favor of many foreigners.

It's just that many American politicians who put forward the proposal to evacuate overseas Chinese did not expect Zhao Tiehu's subsequent public opinion war, which put the government in a very embarrassing situation. That is, the Xinghua Army is not an enemy, but an ally and a benefactor.

In addition, the United States has made a move to evacuate overseas Chinese in Nanyang, but what about the other Allied expatriates currently living in the areas controlled by the Xinghua Army? And how do they deal with it? These people also hope to return to China as soon as possible to reunite with their families!

For a time, many foreign nationals living in Nanyang also began to urge China to take them back to China. If Britain had not yet been captured by the Germans, their nationals would still have had a chance to return home. But what about Dutch foreigners?

The country of these people is still under the control of the German army. At this time, they chose to return to China, didn't they jump out of the wolf's den and enter the tiger's den? However, the evacuation of American nationals has undoubtedly caused panic among these foreigners.

Stimulated by this kind of news, these foreigners, who originally stayed in the Xinghua Military Defense Zone, but were not bound by a lot of security, also began to want to leave Nanyang. After all, the current Nanyang is still the world of the Japanese army.

The Xinghua Army is good to them, but they are not Chinese after all, and the Xinghua Army has no obligation to settle and take care of them. If there is really a full-scale war with the Japanese army, who dares to guarantee that the Xinghua army will not abandon them?

In the face of notes from many countries, hoping that the United States would temporarily accept their nationals, the generals of the Allied Command in Australia also felt extremely troubled. It is also a big problem to transfer all the foreigners in Nanyang and resettle them.

On the other hand, Zhao Tiehu, who was in Mindanao, in the name of the commander-in-chief, sent a notice to various foreign people's gathering places. The above means that the Xinghua Army does not force them to leave, and if they are willing to leave, the Xinghua Army will treat them well.

Accordingly, if they want to leave, they can contact their country. As long as a country is willing to accept them, the Xinghua Army will also send ships to take them to safety.

To stay free is Zhao Tiehu's attitude towards these expatriates. For the Allied governments, however, this is a thorny issue. Now that the war is still going on, what if you have the energy to clean up this mess?

It can be said that the US military wants to give a solemn warning to the Xinghua Army through the evacuation of overseas Chinese. As a result, Zhao Tiehu took this opportunity to slap the allies hard. Let the Allies know who they are asking for help now.

At present, the strength of the Xinghua Army is indeed very different from that of the allies. But in this acre and three points of land in Nanyang, it is the Xinghua Army that really has the right to speak. If you want to warn Xinghuajun, you must also be prepared to be slapped in the face.

Even after evacuating several groups of foreign nationals living in Mindanao, Zhao Tiehu resolutely ordered to start the order to salvage the sunken Japanese warship. The Japanese warships and aircraft carriers that were sunk earlier were salvaged from Davao Bay.

Of course, the reason used is also very reasonable, that is, with the increase in the tonnage of ships passing through the Davao Channel, it is necessary for the Xinghua Army to dredge the channel. Those ships sunk in the bay naturally need to be salvaged.

As the first sunken Japanese cruiser was successfully salvaged and soon towed to Davao's newly expanded ship, Tungsten, many people know. This cruiser will soon become a naval ship of the Xinghua Army.

Think of the ships that were sunk by the Xinghua Army earlier, and even a Japanese main battle aircraft carrier. Once the salvage and repair are completed, the Xinghua Army will have an aircraft carrier formation.

Perhaps such a naval scale is nothing to see for the current Allied and Japanese forces. But for the Allied and U.S. forces who want to return to the South Seas, they can't ignore the existence of this aircraft carrier group.

The problem is that even if the Allies have an opinion, they can't publish this kind of thing. The reason is very simple, this is the internal affairs of the Xinghua Army, and the little devils have not protested, so what reason do they have for protesting?

Even if these warships sank on the bottom of the sea for a long time, after the repair and refurbishment of the shipyard, Zhao Tiehu believed that the naval strength of the Xinghua Army could be quickly improved in a short time.

Even the navy carrier-based aircraft that boarded the aircraft carrier, Zhao Tiehu had already launched corresponding land training at the jungle airfield on the island. As long as the salvage of the aircraft carrier is completed and repaired, this aircraft carrier formation will be able to form combat effectiveness in a very short period of time.

At that time, the entire South China Sea and even the Far East, the existence of this aircraft carrier formation will be a great deterrent. What's more, the new submarine developed by the Xinghua Army can escort it, and it is not so easy for the allies to do it.

Seeing that a sunken ship was salvaged every few days, no matter how stupid the Allies and the Japanese army were, they knew that for this salvage, they were afraid that the Xinghua Army had made a lot of preparations in advance. Otherwise, how could it be so fast?

In fact, both the Allies and the Japanese were right. But they couldn't have imagined that when Zhao Tiehu ordered the Japanese fleet to be sunk in the bay, he had the idea of salvage. He has always attached great importance to these sunken warships.

At this moment, the salvage and repair were ordered, because the shipyard had already obtained the manufacturing drawings of those ships from the Japanese side. With these drawings, it will also be easier for the workers of the shipyard to repair.

According to Zhao Tiehu's meaning, the steel produced by the Xinghua Army is largely used to make airplanes and submarines. In the case of naval vessels, first take the warships of the little devils to renovate and practice, and accumulate a certain amount of experience.

After that, he was considering the development of a new type of naval warship and steadily promoted the major upgrading of the military industry. Even Zhao Tiehu believes that with the continuous improvement of missile research and development technology currently located in the jungle, it is very likely that new ships will be equipped with shipborne missiles in the future.

After all, today's military R&D department of the Xinghua Army is all experts in various fields recruited from various countries. These experts get together and burst out with enthusiasm for research and development, but I am afraid that the military enterprises of many countries will not be able to do it.

Coupled with a person like Zhao Tiehu, who has been ahead of the strategic vision of other countries for nearly a hundred years, the research and development effect of this plus one is obviously greater than others imagined. And what Zhao Tiehu lacks at present is nothing more than time!

It has to be said that under the stimulation of the allies, the development of the Xinghua Army did not stop, but blossomed more. The first multi-purpose light tank on land and sea has also been equipped in the three theater mechanized assault brigades located in Nanyang.

The distribution of these new equipment to the troops has undoubtedly further enhanced the combat effectiveness of the troops. As the commander-in-chief of the Xinghua Army, Zhao Tiehu also began to meet with the major factions in Nanyang to discuss the pursuit of independence by various countries.

These major factions in Nanyang, who had suffered greatly from colonization, were also very eager for independent statehood. Even if they all know that the main strength of the future national defense force will inevitably need to rely on the Xinghua army.

However, when meeting with various factions, Zhao Tiehu first stated that he would not participate in any political affairs. According to his meaning, that is, the future of Nanyang will be decided by all Nanyang people.

According to the different spheres of influence, similar to the Philippine words, Mindanao will still belong to the Philippine in the future, but it will exist in the same way as an autonomous state. The city where the Chinese are located will also be under the responsibility of the Chinese governing body.

Similarly, the various ethnic groups and races in Nanyang have also formed corresponding autonomous prefectures according to their different distribution areas. According to the corresponding ethnic distribution, the corresponding coalition government is being formed to achieve the plan of independence of the countries of the South Seas.

Military and political go hand in hand, which is Zhao Tiehu's preparation for the return of the allies to Nanyang in the future. At least Zhao Tiehu believes that the initiative he put forward is also what these major factions in Nanyang hope and pursue the most.

Given the opportunity to be the master of their own affairs, who wants to become a colonial government of another military power?

When Zhao Tiehu was in full swing to advance these plans, the allied forces led by the United States captured Saipan, Guam, and Tinian Islands successively, and basically wiped out about 70,000 garrisons on the three islands.

The fall of the Mariana Islands greatly shook Japan, exacerbated the internal contradictions of its ruling class, and the Tojo Cabinet was overturned by distrust and antipathy towards the war, which led to the resignation of the Tojo Cabinet in the middle of the campaign under great pressure from the country.

This change also made Zhao Tiehu realize that there is not much time left for the US military to return to the Philippines. In order to cope with this situation, Zhao Tiehu also ordered to be stationed in the first theater of operations in the Philippines and took the lead in entering a state of combat readiness.

On the other hand, the Japanese troops stationed in the Philippines, who were in a panic and chaos, planned to defend the Philippine and prevent the US troops from easily recapturing the Philippine under the orders of the mainland. This also means that if the US military wants to return to the Philippines, I am afraid that it will not be so easy!
