Chapter 282: The Attention of the Allies

First, if it is said that the public trial and execution that took place outside the city made the natives and Chinese onlookers experience the cruelty and bloodiness of this execution scene. The former felt terrified, while the latter felt a feeling of blood boiling.

Once upon a time, the Chinese who left their homeland and crossed the sea to the South Seas have always been cautious and responsible in order to live in this land. Let the locals and those foreigners bully, just to get the approval of these people.

But many times, every time the Chinese wanted to pursue their rise, they would be ruthlessly suppressed by the natives and foreign powers. Lan Fangguo in the early years is undoubtedly the most obvious example. And this time, the Chinese once again raised their voice that they could not bear the humiliation.

Looking at those natives who were arrogant in the past, they also became much more awe-inspiring and honest. Many Chinese suddenly feel that they have experienced a sense of self-confidence that they have never felt before, a sense of honor and responsibility as Chinese.

Since the establishment of the Xinghua Army, the Xinghua Army has done too many things to safeguard the interests and lives of the Chinese. For this force, many Chinese also sincerely support it. As the commander-in-chief of the Xinghua Army, Zhao Tiehu's prestige among the Nanyang Chinese was unparalleled.

Even in the eyes of many Nanyang Chinese, he was the boss of Xinghua Company, and later the commander-in-chief of Xinghua Army after the Japanese invasion. But no matter what, the name Chen Yonghua is no different from a leader in the hearts of Nanyang Chinese.

Before they woke up from the scene of the execution outside the city, many of the indigenous residents who returned to the city saw the scene of the murderous and vicious army once again dispatching a large army to break down the doors and raid the homes of those indigenous families. Some natives suddenly felt that the little devil was really too cruel.

This guy can turn his face faster than he can turn a book. Earlier, when the Japanese army entered the city, these indigenous families helped the Japanese army maintain local stability, and they also had merit. But now, the Japanese army said that they would raid their homes, and they would slaughter when they said they were slaughtered.

In the eyes of other indigenous families, it is impossible not to worry. The truth of the death of the rabbit and the sorrow of the fox, how can these leaders of the indigenous family who have a long tradition not know?

Taking the opportunity of the public trial and execution outside Kuala Lumpur, Zhao Tiehu ordered the propaganda department of the Xinghua Army to quickly spread the news. He hoped that through this incident, he would warn the Japanese troops and natives in other places not to provoke the Xinghua army.

To be precise, don't use the old eyes to look at the Nanyang Chinese who are protected by the Xinghua Army at the moment. Otherwise, the few indigenous families in Kuala Lumpur who were destroyed will be the fate of others.

Even many garrison officers in various places learned that the garrison officers in Kuala Lumpur had been dismissed from their posts and sent to fight on the front lines in the fiercest battles. In those tragic battlefields, if a big Zuo wants to survive, the chances are not very great!

Such a living example made some city defenders whose thoughts swayed from side to side also realize the strength and strength of the Xinghua army. Coupled with the rapid expansion of the National Salvation Association in Japan, many people began to feel that they should think of a way out.

Even many generals of the Japanese army felt that things had not yet reached the worst. But for some speculative businessmen and politicians, they are already preparing for the fall of the junta's cabinet.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Tiehu was also very direct, asking people to send the documents and materials formed by this incident to the Allied Command in Australia, with a handwritten letter from Zhao Tiehu.

The letter was handed over to MacArthur to receive in person, and when he opened the letter, MacArthur saw only a few brief sentences, one of which was more indignant: "Is this how the Allies treat their allies?" ”

Although according to the interrogation report submitted, it was more British who were involved. At present, the Allied forces leading the war in the Pacific are naturally dominated by the Americans, and Britain is more cooperative with other countries.

Therefore, after reading the interrogation materials and Zhao Tiehu's handwritten letter, MacArthur also frowned a little and said: "This incident was really planned by British agents?" Help me get General Hulk over, I've got something to talk to him about. ”

When it came to the Xinghua Army, MacArthur never dared to ignore it too much. As Japan and the United States fought for a long time on Kuah Island, MacArthur became more and more interested in pulling the Xinghua Army over the Allied side, hoping to alleviate the casualties of the Allied forces.

Earlier, with the help of the Xinghua Army, many prisoners of war who were rescued from all over the South Seas were also transported to Allied bases in Australia in small batches. After these prisoners of war were returned, some information about the Xinghua Army was also revealed.

That is, Xinghua Army has done a very careful and humane job for their rescue and resettlement work. It is estimated that many of the prisoners of war who were originally sick would not have survived if it had not been for the timely treatment of the Xinghua Army's medical team.

As for some of the circumstances of the Xinghua Army, many prisoners of war said that they had been staying in the secret camps of the Xinghua Army since they were rescued. As far as they knew, there were many more clandestine camps like this.

The troops stationed in the secret camp are the truly elite troops of the Xinghua Army. As for the Xinghua Army, which has come out of the jungle, it is actually only the second-line combat units of the Xinghua Army. But its combat effectiveness still cannot be ignored.

At least in the confrontation with the Japanese garrison, the second-line combat units of the Xinghua Army still did not allow the Japanese army to bargain too much. At present, the US Army often pays a very heavy price when fighting against the Japanese Army.

If it weren't for the fact that the Allies had already regained a lot of air supremacy, I was afraid that this kind of hand-to-hand army would make the US military pay an even heavier price. It can also be seen from this that the US Army lacks actual combat experience.

On the other hand, many of the Xinghua Army were veterans of the Anti-Japanese War who moved from the mainland. Under the leadership and training of these veterans of the Anti-Japanese War, the combat effectiveness of the second-line garrison of the Xinghua Army should not be underestimated.

At this moment, it has been decided that the Anglo-American coalition forces that regained Burma with the help of the Chinese Expeditionary Force also said that the combat units of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, as long as they are equipped with their weapons and ammunition, will still be able to fight against the elite units of the Japanese army.

This means that sponsoring weapons and ammunition to the Chinese side can indeed allow the Chinese anti-Japanese war troops who have persisted in the War of Resistance for many years to hold back a larger number of Japanese troops invading China. In this way, the pressure on the Allies can also be reduced.

Although there is no direct evidence from the US military to prove that Zhao Tiehu has anything to do with the mainland's military. However, the U.S. military's mainland institutions in China still learned that the Xinghua Army had extraordinary influence in Chongqing and Yan'an.

Even some time ago, Zhao Tiehu personally rushed to the mainland and held a secret meeting with the leaders of Chongqing and Yan'an. This also shows that Zhao Tiehu also has a very close relationship with the mainland.

Under these circumstances, MacArthur really did not want to push the Xinghua Army to the side of the Japanese army because of such a thing. If this were the case, the Allies would have to pay an even heavier price if they wanted to recover the South Seas.

Just looking at the information handed over by MacArthur, Lieutenant General Hulk, the head of the British army, also frowned and said: "In Kuala Lumpur, we should not have sent agents." The evidence seems to be a bit insufficient, doesn't it? ”

"General Hulk, I want to draw your attention to this matter. Although the current situation of the war is very favorable to us, we must not forget that the existence of the Xinghua Army has held back many Japanese garrisons in Nanyang.

If the Japanese army were to move the troops stationed in Nanyang to the front line, how many troops do you think we would need to mobilize to repel these damn Japanese troops? You know, my men have paid a great price in order to win this war. ”

Even if the Anglo-American alliance seems unbreakable, between countries, interests always come first. At this moment, Britain's influence and strength have undoubtedly been hit hard because of the invasion and fighting of the German army.

On the other hand, the United States, which has become the dominant Allied country at the moment, has a very strong military and strength. If the Allies want to win this war, they will largely rely on the US military. In the Pacific theater, this is even more so.

After all, compared with the British and Dutch allies, the troops that can be sent to fight at present are all colonial troops stationed in Asia earlier. The combat effectiveness of these units was already very illustrative when the Japanese army invaded Nanyang.

Even in the ongoing operation to rescue prisoners of war, the British army also paid a lot of money to allow the Xinghua Army to rescue many British prisoners of war who had been captured by the Japanese army earlier. At present, these prisoners of war can be grateful to the Xinghua Army for their rescue!

But suddenly making such a fuss really makes people feel quite disgusting. Even MacArthur felt that the British army should not cause chaos in this matter, even if it could not help much!

Even in MacArthur's view, if this event was successfully planned, it would indeed help to reduce the pressure on the Allies. But the problem is that if the British army really planned to implement this plan behind the scenes, they should also say hello to him in advance.

Now that the plan has been exposed, how can he reply in the face of Zhao Tiehu's questioning? It can't be said that he is not in the same group as the British army, and this matter has nothing to do with the US military. If you really say this, it will attract Zhao Tiehu's disgust.

Perhaps it was MacArthur's serious expression that Lieutenant General Hulk finally couldn't help but look at it squarely: "General Mack, please give me a little time, I need to verify the relevant situation." At least I believe it should be none of our business. ”

"Then ask General Hulk to verify it as soon as possible! In any case, now we need the Xinghua Army. Even if they refuse to agree to join forces with us to fight back against the Japanese army, they cannot let them join forces with the Japanese army against us.

In my opinion, the Xinghua Army has a favorable impression of many Allied soldiers. You should know that thousands of our prisoners of war have been rescued recently due to their successful rescue, and the people are full of gratitude to them.

Once we let the country know that we are doing such things behind the scenes, what do you think the people will think of us? Therefore, you must take this matter seriously and find out as soon as possible, okay? ”

For MacArthur to say such a thing is enough to show the seriousness of the matter. Even Lieutenant General Hulk felt very aggrieved, but he knew that if he didn't give an explanation for this matter, he couldn't arrange for the Xinghua Army.

Even if he returned to China, he, the commander-in-chief of the British army in Nanyang, would inevitably be criticized by the government and the people. Things really turned out like that, he could have been a hero, I'm afraid he will also be notorious!
