Chapter 202: Borneo Oil Fields
The war in Europe is in full swing, and the war of resistance at home is still stalemate. But many people don't notice that many wounded soldiers in the rear hospitals seem to be disappearing. There seems to be an increase in the number of refugees fleeing the war in the country's ports.
At the end of the Battle of Guinan, the Japanese army opened strategic supply lines for attacking Laos and Burma. It's just that Zhao Tiehu feels a little regretful that Britain and France seem to have adopted a policy of concession for the greed of the Japanese bowl.
The troops stationed in these places did not seem to realize their forbearance, and only made the Japanese people see the weakness of Britain and France. It will also provide more confidence and support for the next step of the Japanese army.
Regarding the complex and changeable situation in China and Southeast Asia, Zhao Tiehu pays more attention to his own deployment. With the relationship established with the US military and the support of the US military in the Philippines, Zhao Tiehu's defense in the Davao area has also been further strengthened.
According to the agreement reached between Zhao Tiehu and the US military stationed in the Philippines, Zhao Tiehu stationed in Davao will assume the defense of Mindanao when necessary. Of course, Lao Mei wanted Zhao Tiehu to contribute, but he couldn't give much support in terms of funds.
The only support given is more political inclination and more autonomy to Zhao Tiehu. And these are also what Zhao Tiehu needs. The funds earned by the wolf warrior from China and the South Seas are constantly exchanged for materials and population.
If anyone enters the jungle of Mindanao at this moment, they will also be surprised to find that the jungle where the small town of Davao is located seems to have increased many Chinese villages overnight. These villages may seem small, but most of them seem to be well-connected.
As you walk around these jungle villages, you can still see military installations built in the jungle. There are even some military installations that have lost over time and are quickly covered by dense jungles that cannot be seen at all without a close look.
Although a large number of trees have been cut down, some parts of Mindanao seem to be empty. But for Zhao Tiehu, where the jungle village is located, it is not allowed to cut down big trees casually, the purpose is to hide the existence of the village.
Some miners went into the mountains to prospect for minerals, but they built one underground air-raid shelter and military facility after another in the deep mountains and dense forests. Not far from the Wolf Warrior base camp, there is also an underground helipad.
In the vicinity of the town of Davao, where it is suitable for landing, permanent fortifications have been built. In some inconspicuous places, Zhao Tiehu also purchased several coastal defense guns from the US military, which are currently being intensively debugged.
In Borneo, Xinjiapo, Manila and other Chinese-gathering areas, secret military bases belonging to the wolf warriors are also being built. Batches of soldiers recruited and trained from China are undergoing training and preparing for war.
But all this, except for a few high-level leaders of Wolf Warrior, many people don't know. But for Zhao Tiehu, he knows that the things he is doing now may be able to save many people's lives in the future, so he is also going all out.
When Song Dabao rushed to Davao from the No. 2 wolf's den, and after seeing the wolf warrior base camp established in the dense forest, he also admired it and said: "Wolf head, I really can't believe that you have made so many things in such a short period of time!" ”
'Is it much?' I'm too little! At the end of the day, we still have limited funds, limited manpower, and many things need to be kept strictly confidential. Otherwise, I'm afraid we will move faster. After all, we don't have much time left.
Next, once you go to Borneo, your main mission is to set up a backup base for Wolf Warriors there. Soon after, when that kid Chengwu comes, I will send him to Xinjiapo and let him preside over the war over there.
In short, according to my prediction, the first battle should be in the Borneo region that you are responsible for, and secondly, the battle between the base camp and Xinjiapo should not be too long. In other words, we still have to die with the little devil when we come here. ’
'Just snort, what's there to be afraid of. Back then, there were only a few of us, and the little devils who didn't fight like that were running around. At present, the number of our troops has expanded a lot, and after preparing for so long, it will definitely make the little devil have a good drink. ’
For the rapid expansion and development of Wolf Warrior, although Zhao Tiehu is under great financial pressure. But correspondingly, the wolf warrior earned more wealth for Zhao Tiehu. It's just that most of this money is invested in the formation of various bases.
Even in order to raise the funds needed for the expansion of the wolf warrior, Zhao Tiehu asked the wolf to loot several banks set up in Huaxia by the wolf. Even the banks established by colonial governments such as Hong Kong have not escaped the looting of wolf warriors.
After the previous ransacking of a Japanese-funded bank in Shanghai, Zhao Tiehu knew that it would be the fastest way to get money. After the wolf warrior arrived in Nanyang, he also looted the property of many indigenous wealthy merchants and some foreign merchants, and also looted a lot of gold mines.
Perhaps this approach seems somewhat immoral. But for Zhao Tiehu, the wolf warrior needs money. Without sufficient funds, he will not be able to complete his plan as soon as possible, and there is a possibility that more Chinese will die in the future.
Rather than causing the Chinese to suffer heavy losses, Zhao Tiehu felt that it was not a good choice to loot those natives and foreign merchants who were not benevolent to the rich. Even the pirates who are currently infesting the South Seas are all wolf warriors sent by Zhao Tiehu.
In the early years, the East India Company looted passing ships in the South China Seas, and now Zhao Tiehu sent soldiers to pretend to be pirates and rob the cargo ships of those foreigners, which in Zhao Tiehu's eyes was just a report and a report.
As Zhao Tiehu's hardcore confidant, Song Dabao's family moved to Nanyang earlier than him. For the families of these backbones, Zhao Tiehu naturally took care of them more properly and arranged for them to live near the base camp.
Even if such an arrangement makes people think that Zhao Tiehu is taking these family members hostage. But for many commanders of the wolf warriors, they were very relieved to hand over their families to Zhao Tiehu for protection.
The reason is simple, they never thought of betrayal. Everything they have now is given by Zhao Tiehu, not only for themselves, but also for their families, and finally they don't have to worry about being bullied hungry.
In the family village near the base camp, the families of these commanders were properly accommodated. Compared with the ordinary people who live outside the mountains, their base camp is responsible for all their supplies. It can be said that there is no need to worry about livelihood at all.
Even the work of these family members is different from that of ordinary people outside the mountains. More of them are doing some logistical support for the wolf warriors. In this way, earn their living goods.
Coupled with the monthly salary of their children in the wolf warriors, these people also really live a worry-free life. And they also know that whether they can keep their current life depends on whether the wolf warrior can really gain a foothold in Nanyang.
In Zhao Tiehu's words, they still need to hold out for four to five years. After four or five years, everything will be fine. When the time comes, they can also move out of the mountains to live and enjoy a truly peaceful and healthy life.
After spending some time with his family in the family village, Song Dabao took a group of newly trained elite soldiers to the wolf's den in Borneo to take over the command there. At the same time, he has the task of establishing more settlements.
In addition, according to Zhao Tiehu's operational instructions, after Song Dabao arrived in Borneo, the first concern was the oil field facilities excavated and developed by the Netherlands. For the Chinese workers and technicians in the oilfield, it is also necessary to protect them as much as possible.
The other is to inquire about the location of the treasury of the Dutch colonial army, and now that the Dutch government has surrendered to the German army. This meant that neither the Dutch army nor the colonial government in Indonesia could send their funds back to China.
Another important thing is to store as much oil as possible. Through the merchant fleet of the Wolf Warriors, the oil was transported back to Davao. In the later period, the wolf warriors fought in various parts of the South Seas, and oil was also a very important strategic material.
According to Zhao Tiehu's instructions, once the little devil launches a campaign against Borneo, the wolf warrior must rush before the little devil and grab the important materials of the colonial government. Even in the future, political asylum could be granted to some Dutch skilled workers.
After the Japanese army occupies the oil fields in Borneo in the future, another combat mission of the wolf warrior is to destroy and destroy as much as possible. It even specialized in cracking down on oil field mechanics who came from Japan, so that the Japanese army could not extract oil on a large scale.
As it stands, once the U.S. stops supplying oil to the Japanese bowl, the Japanese army will have to support its growing oil demand by extracting Indonesia's oil. If the oil exploitation does not go well, I believe that the life of the little devil will not be too easy.
In a word, for Zhao Tiehu, as long as he can make trouble for the little devil, any means can be used!
And in fact, at the moment in the Dutch oil fields of Borneo, the Dutch are preparing for evacuation. Entering the port of the oil field, the Dutch also laid mines and built air-raid shelters in the oil field area, and began to transfer the families of some of the oil field technicians.
In such a situation, since the wolf warrior can detect it, the Japanese army can undoubtedly also detect it. In fact, after learning of the defeat of the Dutch, the Japanese bowl navy had already begun to develop plans to seize the oil fields of Borneo.
But the little devil knows very well that once the Dutch oil fields in the South China Sea are moved, I believe that Britain and the United States will also be highly vigilant. After all, Borneo was not far from the Anglo-American colonies in the South Seas, and they would not let the Japanese get involved easily.
Therefore, once the Japanese bowl launched an attack on Borneo, it was necessary to be prepared to fight the British and the United States. To be precise, it is necessary to prepare for a full-scale invasion of the South Seas. For this reason, even if the little devil is ready to move, he also hopes that time will be prepared.
In this context, the Japanese army and navy coordinated the occupation of the northern part of French Indochina. In the name of it, it was to end the stalemate war of aggression against China, cut off China's supply and communication lines in the southwest, and further break the will of the Zhongyan army to resist.
And a piece of news that broke out soon after that really made Britain and the United States feel angry. The reason is that after some secret talks and contacts, the Japanese bowl formally signed an alliance agreement with Germany and Italy, and officially joined the Axis powers led by Germany and Italy.
The United States also reacted to the decision made by the Japanese bowl by announcing a ban on the export of scrap and steel to the Japanese bowl. This also means that the United States and Japan are officially at loggerheads, and the smoke of war is not far from Nanyang.
