As the U.S. military has launched a counteroffensive against the Japanese army, the situation in the entire South Seas is changing to a benign side under the favorable maintenance of the Xinghua Army. Even though the Japanese army's oppression of Nanyang still exists, few dare to attack the idea of Nanyang Chinese.

After all, as the Xinghua Army's military strength in Nanyang continued to grow, and the Japanese army clashed with it many times, it was impossible to bargain each time. Gradually, the Japanese troops stationed in Nanyang also really realized that the Chinese in Nanyang were not easy to mess with.

It is also important to note that most of the Chinese in Nanyang rarely live in Japanese-controlled cities. Almost more than ninety percent of the Chinese moved to areas controlled by the Xinghua Army to survive, and also avoided too much contact with the Japanese army.

Even such a relocation is a bit difficult for many Chinese. But the Chinese who moved out of the city also gradually felt that living in the area controlled by the Xinghua Army would at least allow them to avoid the impact of the war.

The situation in Nanyang stabilized, and the military reform of the Xinghua Army was steadily advancing, and Zhao Tiehu also began to issue plans to build new towns. In some places where there is a large Chinese population, new towns and county towns have begun to be built.

The advantage of this is that it can allow the Chinese to have a greater sense of belonging to these newly built towns and counties. It can also train some government managers to prepare for the takeover of cities in the future.

The changes that have taken place in the Nanyang Chinese control area have also attracted the attention of many well-intentioned people. Such a town construction plan has undoubtedly added more sense of belonging to many Chinese who have moved to Nanyang.

In Zhao Tiehu's words, this is a kind of turf-marking. Even the towns were built by the Chinese, and whoever dared to seize these towns from the Chinese in the future would be the enemy of all the Nanyang Chinese.

It can be said that this year has been a transitional period for the Xinghua Army to make every effort to improve its military strength from the earlier all-out efforts to enhance its military strength. The wave of construction that has arisen in various places has also brought about earth-shaking changes in the areas controlled by the Xinghua Army.

Among them, the biggest change is that the Xinghua Army has successively built wharves in various areas controlled by the Xinghua Army to facilitate the berthing of ferries. Many ships to and from the South Seas were also able to reach the Chinese-controlled areas through the port.

Although these ports were not as large as those controlled by the Japanese army, many merchant ships preferring to dock at Chinese-built ports for many merchant ships traveling to and from the South Seas. As a result, the changes in the Chinese-controlled areas are naturally increasing.

Originally, the Japanese bowl navy stationed in the South Seas did not agree to this situation. In their opinion, if this is done, a large part of the port interests of Nanyang will be seized by the Chinese.

Just when the Japanese Bowl Navy stationed in Nanyang was planning to search and intercept the Xinghua military merchant ships coming and going in Nanyang. The submarine formation of the Xinghua Army also appeared near the ports and fairways of the Japanese army at the right time.

Such a move was undoubtedly a warning to the Japanese army if their navy dared to intercept or raid the merchant ships of the Xinghua Army. Then the submarine force under the command of the Xinghua Army will cut off the waterway between the Japanese army and the country.

After some discussion, when Xinghua Army built the wharf, it only built wharves that could dock small ships of several hundred tons. As for those thousand-ton merchant ships, they still had to anchor in ports controlled by the Japanese army.

Small cargo ships of several hundred tons naturally can't run long-distance sea transportation. In this way, the Japanese army finally compromised. After all, now that the Xinghua Army has risen, if they want to suppress it, it will be more difficult than they can imagine.

Coupled with the aggressiveness of the Allies, the attention of the Japanese army was restricted, and the Japanese army did not want the Xinghua Army to completely fall to the Allies. If that is the case, I am afraid that with the help of the Xinghua Army, the allies will be able to easily counterattack Nanyang.

However, the Japanese army seems to have forgotten that a few hundred tons of merchant ships are the most ships of the Xinghua Army at present. The real large-scale ship berth, in fact, the Xinghua Army really does not have it. As for going to and from Nanyang, you can also travel with China if you supply it a few more times.

In this case, the number of Chinese who have moved to Nanyang is still increasing. As long as the Chinese who relocate to Nanyang, they don't have to worry about finding something to do.

A large number of Chinese gathered in Nanyang, which also brought a large number of recruits and workers to the Xinghua Army. Among them, Mindanao, the base camp of the Xinghua Army, now has more than 5 million Chinese living on the island.

Some of them are old Chinese who have migrated from Nanyang, and one-third of them are Chinese who have been transferred from China one after another. It can be said that the emergence of the Xinghua Army has brought a new wave of Chinese people going to Nanyang.

It's just a little surprising that Davao, as the base military town of the Xinghua Army, has rarely accepted newly relocated Chinese in the past two years. As a result, the number of Chinese living in Dahuo New Town still does not exceed one million.

But even so, many people know that Davao New City has changed the most. From the new city as the center, radiating to the number of towns built in the surrounding areas, it has also become a place where many Chinese factories and workers gather.

In Davao Bay, Zhao Tiehu's long-planned shipyard has finally started production. More than half of the shipbuilders are shipbuilders recruited from China. Of course, shipyards are more of merchant ships.

However, in a relatively secluded inland port, a larger shipyard has already been formed. The speed of shipbuilding, which was relatively slow in the past, is now advancing rapidly.

After all, in addition to Mindanao, Zhao Tiehu began to build some steelmaking and ironworks in other Chinese settlements. The large amount of steel produced has also promoted the rapid development and upgrading of the military industry.

In addition, the overseas corps, a large number of mechanical technical drawings collected and captured overseas, also made the scientific research strength of the Xinghua Army rapidly improved. And the scale of Zhao Tiehu is that in the future, Davao City will become an industrial center of the Xinghua Army.

With Davao City as the core, the military industry extends to the whole island and beyond. Even in order to improve the cultural level of the workers, Zhao Tiehu has ordered the opening of primary and secondary schools in Mindanao to recruit Chinese children.

Naturally, some universities are indispensable, and the construction of these schools also means that the Xinghua Army has transitioned to autonomy to a certain extent. Without the attack of the Japanese army, the Allies could not return for the time being, and the power vacuum gave the Xinghua Army the opportunity to develop rapidly.

Even in some technical colleges and military R&D departments in Davao City, the trainees and workers selected by the Eighth Route Army are all studying intensively. These people are also deeply touched by the changes in Nanyang.

If you don't leave Mindanao, many people can't even believe that you are overseas. After all, the entire Davao City is basically Chinese. Although there are some foreigners, these foreigners are also very honest in the city.

Compared with China and other places, foreigners disdain and bully Chinese people can be seen everywhere. But in Davao New City, and even in the whole of Mindanao, foreigners do not dare to bully Chinese people at will.

If such a thing is done, then these foreigners will be regarded as persona non grata. The fate that awaited these foreigners was to be sent out of Mindanao and sent to cities in the South Seas controlled by the Japanese army.

Doing so, for many foreigners, is more uncomfortable than killing them directly. What's more, many foreigners living in Mindanao currently need to be protected by the Xinghua Army. After all, many of them were prisoners of war and Allied expatriates.

In the case that the Allies had not yet returned to Nanyang, they could only live honestly under the control of the Xinghua Army. Of course, if they want to do business, the Xinghua Army will not stop them, on the contrary, they will be very welcome to set up factories on the island.

And now under the command of the wolf warriors in Nanyang, there are also many mercenaries from Britain, the United States, the Netherlands and other countries. After receiving training from the wolf warriors, these mercenaries will also be sent to the European battlefield for actual combat assessments.

If they don't want to go to the overseas corps, Zhao Tiehu will also arrange some opportunities for them to fight. It's just that the number of these allied mercenaries is still relatively rare, and every soldier who wants to join needs to undergo a strict review.

After all, Zhao Tiehu didn't want the allies to know too much about the situation of the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group. As for the Allied prisoners of war who wanted to form an army alone, Zhao Tiehu would not stop them, but on the contrary, he would give them a certain degree of autonomy.

It's just that the food, clothing, shelter and transportation of these troops, even their weapons and ammunition, all need to be sheltered and supported by the Xinghua Army. As for fighting the Japanese army, these troops reorganized by prisoners of war did not dare to do so for the time being.

Some Allied prisoner of war units who wanted to seek revenge from the Japanese army went into battle without asking for instructions. It turns out that none of them will be too good. Gradually, these Allied POWs became very honest.

Although Zhao Tiehu knew that these Allied prisoners of war, who were currently very friendly with the Xinghua Army, once the Allied forces returned to Nanyang, they might be able to bite the Xinghua Army back. But Zhao Tiehu naturally has his own means for these Allied prisoners of war.

In a word, if the Allies return to Nanyang in the future, if they really want to turn against the Xinghua Army, I believe that the final loss will also make the Allies feel extremely uncomfortable. Most importantly, the United States also needs the Huaxia and Xinghua armies as allies.

Although the Japanese army still had a great advantage in the Chinese battlefield. But this year's situation seems to be different from previous years. Chongqing, on the other hand, focused on the expeditionary force and the southern counteroffensive, while the Eighth Route Army promoted the northeast recovery strategy.

The actions of the Chinese Anti-Japanese War troops undoubtedly restrained a large number of Japanese army troops. To some extent, this also reduced the pressure on the Allied forces in the Asian theater. And this also proves that the proposal that Zhao Tiehu gave them earlier is also very correct.

On the other hand, for Chongqing and Yan'an, with the foreign aid force of the Xinghua Army, they also seem to be much more confident when cooperating with Britain and the United States. This also meant that the Allies would have to pay more if they wanted to get help from China.

Gradually, the Allies also found that Huaxia was much more confident than before when negotiating with them. In this case, if you want to continue to let Huaxia be cannon fodder, I'm afraid it's unlikely!
