Perhaps it was a little kindness released by the Xinghua Army that made the Japanese generals who were worried that tens of thousands of elite troops would starve to death, and felt that the Xinghua Army could still fight for it. Some cabinet ministers even bluntly said that the responsibility for the dispute should lie with the commander of the garrison brigade in Saigon.

If it weren't for the idea of the commander of the Japanese brigade, who had already been captured, to fight the Chinese in Saigon in order to raise food, there might not have been anything that would have happened. Even if this is a bit of an afterthought, it can be regarded as an excuse for the Japanese army to shirk its responsibility.

Knowing that the materials raised by the Japanese troops stationed in Phnom Penh were entrusted to the Xinghua Army to transfer them to the surrounded Japanese troops, the materials were not embezzled in the slightest. This was enough to make the Japanese army feel that if they could end this dispute, it would end as soon as possible.

Even if the Hsing Hwa Army's request for an armistice was a bit high, the loss of a Saigon was not entirely unacceptable to the Japanese army, which needed to rush to stabilize Southeast Asia. As for Qiongya Island, it is estimated that there is no way to recover it now.

After all, according to the information learned by the Japanese army, the Xinghua Army deployed a force of tens of thousands of people on Qiongya Island. Even after the Xinghua Army controlled Qiongya, the anti-Japanese war forces on Qiongya Island developed more rapidly.

This means that if the Japanese army wants to capture Qiongya Island as easily as before, it must also draw at least one main battle division. But now the question is, where is a main battle division drawn from?

If it is said that the transfer of a main battle division can be victorious, then the Japanese army may still exert its strength to squeeze out the Japanese troops stationed on the southeast coast of China. But the problem is, no one can guarantee that this battle will be won!

If it fails to attack for a long time and fights a tug-of-war with the Xinghua Army that has taken over Qiongya Island, it will also have a major impact on the overall strategy of the Japanese army on the southeast coast of China. After thinking about it, Qiongya Island had no choice but to give up.

What's more, if you want to snatch food from the Xinghua Army, I'm afraid it's not easy!

After two days of negotiations, the representatives of the Japanese army and the Xinghua army, who were in charge of the talks between the two armies, finally finalized the settlement between Qiongya Island and Saigon, and the Japanese army would not demand repayment for the territory currently occupied by the Xinghua army, which could be regarded as tacit acquiescence in the actual control of the Xinghua army.

It's just that Hyotaro Sato, the head envoy of the Japanese army's negotiation team, also made a timely request: "Regarding the above requirements of your army, we can agree. However, there is one thing that I hope that your army can maintain a policy of neutrality and cannot continue to advance towards Yunnan Province. ”

Faced with the request made by Hyotaro Sato, Du Yuesheng thought for a while and said: "This can be considered!" However, if your army takes the initiative to provoke a dispute, we have the right to suspend the above agreement at any time.

In addition, although the Xinghua Army maintains a policy of neutrality, we have a constant friendship with the mainland, after all, blood is thicker than water. If the Chinese army launches a counteroffensive, your army will not be allowed to set foot in the areas under our control. ”

From the information sent by Zhao Tiehu, Du Yuesheng knew to some extent that the current war in northern Myanmar was extremely beneficial to the expeditionary force and the allied forces. This passage, even if the Xinghua Army does not fight, I believe that the expeditionary force will make great efforts to open it up.

Even in Du Yuesheng's opinion, what if the troops of the Xinghua Army only need to change into the military uniforms of the expeditionary force and continue to fight with the little devils? After all, the Xinghua Army is also mainly a Chinese army, and it is not much different from the expeditionary force.

But this answer made Hyotaro Sato seem to be more satisfied. Perhaps in the eyes of the Japanese army, although the expeditionary force was supported and armed by the allies, it was somewhat inferior to the combat quality of the Xinghua army.

When it came to the Xinghua Army's claim for Borneo and Xinjiapo's territory, the Japanese army naturally would not agree. But in the face of Du Yuesheng, who never let go, and the demand for more living places for the Chinese, the Japanese army finally had to make concessions.

In the end, it was really impossible to talk about it, and the war in Southeast Asia could not allow the Japanese army to hesitate any longer. After some haggling, the Japanese finally agreed to withdraw their troops from North Borneo and put them under the control of the Xinghua Army.

The reason is simple: North Borneo is located across the sea from Mindanao, and its strategic location is also very important for the Xinghua Army. Even the small island in the middle of the two places was also under the control of the Xinghua Army. In fact, most of the islands themselves are uninhabited.

In the face of the final agreement, although the Japanese delegation felt aggrieved, Du Yuesheng was still a little dissatisfied and said: "Mr. Sato, I have to say that you are a very good negotiator, and this result makes me very embarrassed!" ”

"Du Jun, this is already our limit. With Mindanao and the whole of North Borneo, I believe there is enough for your compatriots to survive. In fact, this is a very stressful event for us! ”

"Alright! After talking for so long, I believe it has also been a very painful thing for the representatives of both of us. Now that the agreement has been reached, I hope that your army will implement it as soon as possible, and then our troops will also take over.

When your troops in North Borneo have withdrawn, the commander-in-chief will call the troops in Saigon and open the passage for your troops to leave. It's just that our commander-in-chief has also explained that I hope that your army can avoid similar incidents again. ”

If you get cheap, you can sell well!

After an encounter, the Hing Hua army took Qiongya Island and the entire coastal area of Saigon, not to mention the Japanese army also took a North Borneo island. Such a result also made many Japanese generals unwilling but had to accept it.

For one more day, the more the troops fighting in northern Myanmar will pay. Even if the Japanese army is stationed in the whole of Southeast Asia, hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed. However, during this period of time, the situation in Southeast Asia has become more and more chaotic.

At the time when the expeditionary force began to attack the perimeter of Wa Cheng and even intended to advance into Thai territory. A high-ranking Thai general brazenly set off an uprising against Japanese colonization and pulled his troops to the border.

This also means that in today's Southeast Asia, in addition to dealing with the counteroffensive of the Allied and expeditionary forces, the Japanese army also has to consider suppressing the frequent uprisings in the colonies. It can be said that these were the consequences of the war with the Xinghua army.

The contract was signed, and the troops stationed in North Borneo soon received orders to move their defenses. Even though many officers and soldiers were reluctant to leave, they had to obey orders. For a time, many of the natives of North Borneo were also stunned.

On the other hand, in the Second War Zone, which was ready to take over, under the order of Song Dabao, the Japanese army lowered its flag and left the city on the front foot, and the troops of the Xinghua Army on the back foot stepped into the city, took over the city defense deployment where the Japanese army left, and posted a notice to reassure the people.

After a three-day withdrawal, the last troops withdrew from North Borneo, and the Xinghua Army began to build fortifications near the demarcated dividing line. Seeing this scene, many Japanese troops who withdrew from North Borneo also had mixed feelings.

After the Japanese army completed the withdrawal from North Borneo and took over the 3rd Division of the 2nd Theater of Operations in North Borneo, the Japanese army also realized that the Xinghua Army had degenerated into a regular army. Its equipment and military appearance are no worse than those of the Japanese army.

Even many Japanese troops can see that the Xinghua Army is very well armed and equipped. This also meant that after North Borneo was taken over by the Xinghua Army, it would be difficult for either the Japanese army or the future Allies to regain this territory.

What shocked the Japanese army even more was that after the Xinghua Army took over North Borneo, a flying formation soon appeared from the jungle airfield in Mindanao. This flight formation is a force composed of fighter groups and bomber groups.

Nearly 200 sorties, as well as a squadron of fighters that appeared to be few in number, but were clearly new, landed in the rapidly built military fleet of the Xinghua Army. This scene also makes people feel the extraordinaryness of the Xinghua Army.

Even under the monitoring of the Japanese and Allied forces, the intelligence personnel of the two countries discovered that the bomber formation of the Xinghua Army was not a bomber received from the US military earlier, but a multi-engine high-power long-range bomber imitating the German army.

This also means that if the Xinghua Army really wants to carry out a bombing raid there, it is afraid that the Nanyang area currently controlled by the Japanese army is within the range of the Xinghua Army's bombers. Even if it's local, it's very possible.

In the face of the transfer of this huge fleet, the heads of the intelligence departments of the Allied forces and the Japanese army seemed to have not been calm for a long time. Because they have realized that the Xinghua Army is no longer the small army that lives in the middle of nowhere.

Except for the transfer of a large fleet of flying planes to North Borneo, the only thing that reassured the Allies and the Japanese was a little. It is still the coastal defense unit of the Xinghua Army, and it is still those offshore ships with a displacement of less than 1,000 tons.

It is naturally impossible for such a ship to compete with the Japanese and Allied navies. But the fight against piracy and the management of offshore waters are more or less fine. This also shows that the Xinghua Army can still be controlled.

In the process, the Allies also quickly mobilized their intelligence services to find out information about the Xinghua Army's aircraft research and development. Somewhat unexpectedly, this information was quickly transmitted.

These long-range bombers, which looked very similar to German bombers, were themselves German bombers. The aero engines used in the bombers were recovered and transported back to Mindanao by the Xinghua Army from the European battlefield at a high price for reassembly.

David, who delivered this information, was also a very important intelligence officer planted by the U.S. military in the Xinghua Army. But the U.S. military didn't know that this information was actually passed on to the U.S. military by Zhao Tiehu to strengthen the U.S. military's trust in him.

Assembly and production are two completely different concepts. And the fact that the Xinghua Army has a mercenary unit that is operating in the European theater is also known to the Allies. Therefore, the credibility of this information sent back by David is still very high.

It's just that the Allies don't know that the Xinghua Army has built two large aircraft factories in Mindanao and the hinterland of Yan'an. In the aircraft factory in Yan'an, he is more engaged in research and steel smelting.

After all, some of the special steel needed by the Xinghua Army, including the rare earth ores that need to be used, are all in the liberated areas of the Eighth Route Army. If these rare earth ores were to be transported, it would be easy to attract the attention of the Allies and the Japanese.

On the other hand, placing the smelter in the control area of the Eighth Route Army will not attract too many people's attention. The most important thing is that the establishment of such a factory is extremely rare for the Eighth Route Army, which can be regarded as having its own steel industry.

Even if the scale is still small, but with the first steel plant, you can also accumulate some experience. In addition, for the Eighth Route Army, with the cooperation with the Xinghua Army, it can also get a steady stream of taxes!
