Chapter 266: Planning for the Future
Regarding the situation in China and Thailand, after successfully sending the looted gold to the submarine, Zhao Tiehu did not leave on the submarine. Instead, he took his guards and walked all the way along the Indochina Peninsula.
Although such a long journey was very fortunate, for Zhao Tiehu, this trip was more to inspect the development of the wolf's den. Heading all the way from Indochina Peninsula, Zhao Tiehu knew that he would soon be able to reach the Malay Peninsula.
Although many of these places were occupied by the Japanese army. But for the Wolf Warriors, this land route is also a key area to operate. Even if there are not many troops in the wolf's den in some places, they still have a small prestige in the local area.
In the face of Zhao Tiehu's arrival, these expatriate persons in charge of the wolf's den all seemed very moved. After all, they knew very well that this place was far away from the base camp, and Zhao Tiehu could come to inspect it in person, which was also a kind of importance to them.
When Zhao Tiehu arrived in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, it was also a city that Wolf Warrior focused on. There are also a large number of Chinese living in the Malay Peninsula, and after the Japanese occupation of the Malay Peninsula, these Chinese were not less oppressed.
It's just that as the prestige of the Xinghua Army in Nanyang continues to grow, the Japanese troops stationed in Nanyang countries also seem to have received orders from above. Unless there are special circumstances, do not have too fierce military conflicts with the Xinghua Army.
In a sense, it can also be seen that the Japanese troops stationed in Nanyang today are also in awe in the face of the Xinghua Army, which is becoming more and more powerful. After all, the achievements of the Xinghua Army in Nanyang are really worthy of their awe.
Facing Zhao Tiehu, who came to inspect, the commander of the wolf's den stationed in Malaysia also said happily: "Wolf head, you came here this time, do you have any combat instructions!" Speaking of which, we've always wanted to make a big deal out of it, right? ”
"Don't think about fighting and killing all day long! The most important thing is to save more troops! I'm here this time, and I'm from Southeast Asia. It won't be long before the domestic expeditionary force and the Allies should fight the Japanese again.
On your side, organize a group of people to conduct a long-distance training exercise, which will not only familiarize them with the situation of this land route, but also train the wrestling troops. As for the battle, I believe that there will be a fight, so you don't need to be in too much of a hurry.
Taking advantage of the fact that the little devils are shrinking their defenses, your task is to expand the territory of the base area as much as possible. Doing a good job in running the base areas will also play a great role in the future. As for the little devils on the island, don't worry, they can't run! ”
In Zhao Tiehu's view, the Japanese troops currently staying in the Nanyang countries will be a dish in the hands of the Xinghua Army in the future when the Japanese bowl announces its unconditional surrender. What Zhao Tiehu had to do was to receive supplies from the Japanese army before the arrival of the Allied forces.
As long as the strategic materials of the Japanese army were received, even if the Allies returned to Nanyang in the future, they would have to consider the status of the Xinghua Army. What's more, the Chinese in Nanyang, at the suggestion of Zhao Tiehu, have already begun to plan to form a political party.
These political parties are not limited to the participation of Chinese, and even some indigenous leaders can choose to join this party. In this way, in the future, the countries where the Chinese are located will be able to form a mutual echo and gain more rights to govern the country.
The Xinghua Army is undoubtedly the foundation of the national defense forces of these countries in the future. As for the wolf warriors who have been wandering outside the Xinghua Army, they are the real foundation of the future Nanyang Chinese. And the wolf warrior is also a killer weapon in the hands of Zhao Tiehu.
Zhao Tiehu's inspection this time is more to prepare for the future layout. Although he could convey instructions in the form of a telegram, Zhao Tiehu felt that he would be more at ease if he went in person.
As a very important part of the Xinghua Army, the strategic significance of the Malay Peninsula is also very important. To this end, Zhao Tiehu instructed the Xinghua Army and the Wolf Warrior troops in Malay to put the fight with the Japanese army in the second place and their own development in the first place.
Ignoring the important cities currently occupied and guarded by the Japanese army, they focused on managing the coastal villages and small towns. As long as the Japanese army is unable to control the area, the Xinghua Army can send troops and personnel to take over and manage it.
Once the Japanese army reacts strongly, then do it with the Japanese army. Again, in dealing with the Japanese troops who invaded and occupied the South Seas, Zhao Tiehu's latest instruction was 'don't take the initiative to cause trouble, but don't be afraid of things either'.
This approach of the Xinghua Army made the Japanese army feel a little disgusted. However, the Xinghua army no longer engaged in destruction and riots in the city, which undoubtedly made the Japanese army who invaded and occupied the cities seem to breathe a sigh of relief.
Compared with those poor and backward villages and towns, the Japanese army attached more importance to the interests of those cities that had developed. Although the two armies have not reached an agreement now, this tacit understanding has made many commanders of the Nanyang garrison feel good.
But the Japanese army didn't know that what Zhao Tiehu was currently instructing the Xinghua Army to do was similar to the development strategy of the Eighth Route Army. The countryside surrounds the city, which is the development plan that Zhao Tiehu gave to the Xinghua Army.
In time, the Japanese troops who invaded the countries of the South Seas would be surprised to find that in addition to the towns they occupied, the surrounding countryside was occupied by the Xinghua army. When the time comes, I want to encircle and suppress again, but I am afraid that the Japanese army will also feel powerless.
After spending some time in Kuala Lumpur, Zhao Tiehu also met with several business leaders who had a lot of prestige among the Chinese and indigenous people in the Malay Peninsula in their early years. They also expressed their support for Zhao Tiehu to maintain a stable attitude.
After all, for these business leaders, they had been reminded by the Xinghua Army before the Japanese invasion. Therefore, although many of the fixed possessions in the city were lost, the family heritage was at least preserved.
As the Xinghua army began to regain some towns and villages, these business leaders, who had prestige among the Chinese and indigenous people, gradually moved out of the mountains and began to develop their family power. With the support of the Xinghua Army, their strength is also recovering rapidly.
But in the matter of treating Zhao Tiehu, these business leaders were very polite. Not to mention the protection of their family by the Xinghua Army, the Xinghua Army armed forces that are now all over the South Seas deserve more respect from them to Zhao Tiehu.
As for the proposal to seek independence and self-determination, these business leaders, who are well-known in the local area, are naturally very supportive. After all, if the Malay Peninsula can achieve independent statehood, they will have more political benefits.
What satisfied them the most was that Zhao Tiehu also said directly when talking about the issue of founding the country: "In the new government in the future, Xinghua Army and I will maintain a neutral attitude." People with lofty ideals are responsible for the management and construction of the country.
With regard to the formation of a government, I hope that you will be united and that you will not be divided into each other. No matter what ethnicity or ethnicity we come from, at least we all live together on this land now, and we want to fight for more benefits for future generations.
Matters involving the army are the responsibility of me and the Xinghua Army. As long as we are united, I believe that no aggressor, no matter what invaders, will enslave our people. Therefore, I hope that everyone will take advantage of the favorable moment and unite as much as possible! ”
Racial integration and racial contradictions are also the source of chaos in the South Seas. But Zhao Tiehu believes that with the emergence of the Xinghua Army, the indigenous people will not dare to go too far in dealing with the Chinese in the future.
As far as the current situation is concerned, Zhao Tiehu believes that the number of key members of the Chinese government will be greater than that of the indigenous people in the government formed in the future. For possible rebellions in the future, Zhao Tiehu is also confident that he will suppress them.
With the Xinghua Army in the open and the wolf warrior in the dark, even if the natives will get some external support in the future, Zhao Tiehu will take an iron-blooded approach to suppress and solve it. Any factor that causes instability in the South Seas will be resolutely eliminated by Zhao Tiehu.
As the news spread that Zhao Tiehu personally met with the leaders of all parties, many forces that had defected to the Japanese army also began to appear a little worried. As long as anyone who cares can see it, I am afraid that the Japanese army's days in Nanyang will not be too long.
The Japanese troops stationed in the Malay Peninsula, who also received the news, had thought of organizing an assassination team to attack Zhao Tiehu and his party. However, after some reconnaissance and analysis, the Japanese army found that Zhao Tiehu's whereabouts could not be locked at all.
Even the corpses of the agents of the Japanese army's special high division, who were responsible for investigating and collecting intelligence, were sent to the door of the Japanese army's barracks from time to time. Such a demonstration is enough to show that the Xinghua Army's intelligence detection ability in Nanyang is far beyond the imagination of the Japanese army.
If it is said that when the Xinghua Army was first formed, its forces were still a little weak. So today's Xinghua Army already has a pivotal position in Nanyang. In addition, the power of the Japanese Bowl Salvation Association controlled by Zhao Tiehu also expanded rapidly in the Japanese bowl military and political circles.
At present, many dignitaries of the Japanese army and political personnel stationed in Nanyang can see to some extent that the situation in the country is not optimistic. On the other hand, the Japan Bowl Salvation Association, which has the support of the Allied Powers, is now rapidly expanding its armed and political strength on the island.
In some villages controlled by the Japanese Salvation Congress, the people there are very supportive of the National Salvation Congress, and have even openly opposed the government's governing bodies. At present, the top level of the government seems to be powerless for the expansion of the National Salvation Association.
The wave of counteroffensives set off by the US military in the Pacific Ocean and the ever-increasing scale of bombing have made the Japanese military and political leaders miserable. Most of them pretend not to know about the rebellion set off by some of the poor people in the country.
After all, according to Zhao Tiehu's instructions, the current development of the National Salvation Association is more limited to the countryside, and does not touch the core institutions and departments of the government. However, the military and political leaders of the Japanese bowl forgot that many of the troops they recruited were rural youths.
The hometown of these young people is controlled by the Salvation Congress, so these young people will naturally choose to join the Salvation Association and pass on information for the Salvation Congress. What's more, there is no shortage of investment politicians in the two terms of the Japanese and the military.
One more way back, one more way to live. When they realized that the defeat of the Japanese bowl would be a matter of time, there were also many politicians who chose to turn a blind eye to the National Salvation Congress. In this way, it is undoubtedly more difficult to encircle and suppress the Xinghua army.
It can be said that the Japanese prisoners recruited by Zhao Tiehu in his early years now play a very important role in the development of the Xinghua Army. Even at present, many Japanese merchant ships coming and going to the South Seas are providing some prohibited strategic materials to the Xinghua Army.
And many of the materials exchanged for these merchant ships are civilian materials that are urgently needed by the Japanese bowl. In order to make money, businessmen naturally dare to take any risk. What's more, in the eyes of many businessmen, they are doing things for the salvation of the Congress.
Once the National Salvation Association becomes the ruling party of the Japanese bowl in the future, then they will also be meritorious heroes. Under such temptation, how many businessmen who are best at speculation will refuse?
