Even though the outside world is still roaring, for many Chinese living in Mindanao, it is the annual Spring Festival. Compared with last year, most of them stayed in the mountains, but this Spring Festival, many people moved out of the jungle.

With the withdrawal of the Japanese army from Mindanao, the Chinese who had been relocated to the jungle of Mindanao earlier broke out with a construction capacity that shocked the world. Davao City, which was in ruins, is now bigger and stronger than before.

Even the construction of the new city this time has expanded a lot on the basis of the old city. The presence of a large number of Chinese workers has changed the city every day, and countless new houses and shops have reappeared in Davao City.

Although there are still many indigenous people in Davao New Town, compared with the number of indigenous people in the past, Davao New City is undoubtedly a real Chinese city. This is also the case in several other cities in Mindanao.

Zhao Tiehu, who used to stay in the jungle base camp, had to move back to Davao City this Spring Festival. When the new city was rebuilt, the engineering department responsible for the construction of the new city also built a manor for Zhao Tiehu.

The location of this manor is very close to the garrison troops. Even near the estate, only the residences of some of the top military leaders were built. The patrols around this manor are all in charge of the wolf warrior troops.

To put it simply, the place where Zhao Tiehu lives is also a military forbidden area that cannot be approached at will for many ordinary Chinese. Even if Zhao Tiehu was a little dissatisfied with this privilege, he knew that he was different from before now.

Earlier, according to Zhao Tiehu's meaning, he felt quite comfortable living in the base camp. But this Spring Festival, considering that Chen Wan had just given birth to a son for him, it was naturally better to cultivate in the manor than in the jungle.

What made Zhao Tiehu even more helpless was that after Chen Wan gave birth to a boy, Li Hao, who was considered by Chen Wan as his brother-in-law, also deliberately found two experienced mothers from some Chinese families as servants.

In fact, hiring domestic helpers is common in many Chinese families in Nanyang. People like Zhao Tiehu still don't hire a domestic helper, which really makes Li Hao feel a little inappropriate.

Even if Zhao Tiehu told Li Hao, as the commander of the Xinghua Army and the Wolf Warrior, Zhao Tiehu must lead by example. If even he, the commander-in-chief, is greedy for enjoyment, then what will become of the officers under his command?

Moreover, from the day the Wolf Warrior and Xinghua Army were formed, Zhao Tiehu emphasized the purity and discipline of the army. In particular, Zhao Tiehu dealt with problems involving corruption even more severely.

In Zhao Tiehu's words, the military salaries he gave these officers were already very high. If these officers take the salaries of the army and go to corruption in private, they will be too greedy, and don't blame him for being cold-blooded and ruthless.

When it comes to this matter, Zhao Tiehu has always dealt with it strictly. There are wolf nose internal guards to monitor the troops, and Zhao Tiehu is not afraid that these officers will engage in power-for-money transactions, and they will not be known to him.

This time, Chen Wan added Ding to Zhao Tiehu, and those old subordinates who left the Eighth Route Army with Zhao Tiehu in the early years were undoubtedly very happy. In their opinion, Zhao Tiehu has a son, and the wolf warrior and the Xinghua army have a future.

These old subordinates knew very well that in the two units of the Xinghua Army and the Wolf Warrior, at least in the era when they both existed, no one could replace Zhao Tiehu's position. Even one of them can't replace Zhao Tiehu.

On the contrary, if Zhao Tiehu has a son, even if he is still young in the future, he can at least let the two troops have a spokesperson. After all, for many Chinese, blood inheritance is a very important thing.

The son inherits his father's business, which is also something that many Chinese recognize. Although Zhao Tiehu had a daughter before, in the matter of inheritance, daughters are generally not as good as sons. For this, Zhao Tiehu is naturally also clear.

Even if the current military affairs are busy, after moving to Davao New Town, Zhao Tiehu temporarily moved the headquarters to the other courtyard near the manor. If you do this, you can go home and eat with your family in the morning, noon and evening.

Many times, even Zhao Tiehu is hard to imagine that he will have such a home-loving side. It's just that as the commander-in-chief of the Xinghua Army and the Wolf Warrior, Zhao Tiehu is not yet the time to let go of everything and accompany his family.

Chen Wan, who has been at home for more than half a month, looked at Zhao Tiehu who was walking in the yard with her, and said happily: "It feels so good to come out, staying in the room every day, it's almost suffocating me." ”

"I know you don't like to stay in your room, but after all, you're still in confinement, so you can't just come out and blow the wind. Bear with me! After the confinement, I will accompany you to visit our Davao New City. ”

Listening to Zhao Tiehu's words, Chen Wan was also very satisfied: "Thinking back to when we first came to Davao, it was still very poor and backward. Unexpectedly, this is the second time we have rebuilt the city. ”

"Yes! Compared to the first time we built a city, our sappers and construction troops are now more experienced. Although it consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, it also promotes the production of various factories.

Today, Davao City is home to nearly 50,000 residents, the vast majority of whom are Chinese. Although some foreigners and indigenous people have been relocated, now the city is finally up to us. ”

"I really hope that we can keep this life forever."

As a person close to Zhao Tiehu, Chen Wan naturally knew that the newly established Davao New City was not completely free from the threat of war. No one knows whether the Japanese army will bomb Davao New City one day in the future.

Secondly, according to Zhao Tiehu's speculation about the future situation, after the Allied forces return to Nanyang in the future, they are afraid that they will soon change their attitude towards the Xinghua Army. After all, the existence of the Xinghua Army will inevitably threaten the rule of the Allies over the South Seas.

As for whether this problem will need to be solved through war in the end, even Zhao Tiehu can't predict it. The only thing the Xinghua Army can do now is to prepare for the worst in the future.

Seeing Chen Wan's somewhat worried expression, Zhao Tiehu said very seriously: "Don't worry, everything will be fine." Back then, we were poor and white, and now we have such a huge army as the backing, what is there to fear?

Today, Japan and the United States, as well as other countries that are at war, are suffering from war. I believe that as long as those allied forces know that our Xinghua Army is not easy to provoke, even more difficult to provoke than the Japanese army, they will consider a peaceful settlement of the Nanyang issue.

After all, the times are different from those of the early years, and any colonial government should be overthrown. If Britain and the United States really think that it will be easier to solve us than to solve the Japanese people. I will let them know how serious the consequences of provoking us are.

We came to the South Seas from the mainland, and we ourselves drifted and lived in no fixed place. Even if we lose everything we have now, it's a big deal that we start all over again. But for them, when the war ends and the war resumes, their people will not agree. ”

In Zhao Tiehu's view, there were a large number of people in Britain and the United States who opposed the war. The reason why the United States declared war on the Japanese bowl was more because the Japanese bowl attacked the American Pearl Harbor, which made many Americans feel that war was just around the corner.

The problem in the South Seas is not the same as the nature of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The Xinghua Army's demand for the independence of the Nanyang countries is in itself a reasonable and legitimate argument. Once upon a time, many Americans fought for it.

In addition, now that Japan and the United States are at war, with good relations with the United States, Zhao Tiehu has also secretly transported many soldiers to the United States. After these people entered the United States, they quickly integrated into the local Chinese system in the United States.

Once the United States makes a move against the Nanyang Xinghua Army in the future, even Zhao Tiehu will start a two-handed strategy. One of them is to bring the flames of war to the United States, so that the United States can also feel the trauma caused by the war.

The second is to use the media to stir up anti-war sentiment among the American people. There were many American prisoners of war and American expatriates rescued by the Xinghua Army, and Zhao Tiehu believed that such a treacherous act would also make the Americans angry.

In the face of a large number of angry Americans, Zhao Tiehu believes that even Roosevelt, who has a very high support rate, will not dare to ignore the will of the people. After all, the president of the United States is elected by a majority of the people.

If there are parties that support waging war, there will naturally be parties that oppose war. If the ruling party insists on going its own way and does not care about the opinions of the people, then the anti-war faction can wait for an opportunity to rise up and become the next ruling party.

Even if it will involve some power and money transactions, but in Zhao Tiehu's view, as long as he can complete the plan of independent statehood, then he can do whatever it takes. As for how to evaluate him in the future, Zhao Tiehu doesn't care.

At least everything Zhao Tiehu is doing now, for many Chinese and even the entire Han nation, Zhao Tiehu has a clear conscience. If he knew that something would happen, but he was indifferent, Zhao Tiehu would feel unhappy.

Now, with the situation in various parts of the South China Sea tending to ease, Zhao Tiehu's contacts with the mainland are much easier than before. The second batch of trainees selected by the Eighth Route Army has also arrived in Mindanao.

The cooperation with the Nationalist Government also extended to other materials that were strictly restricted by the Japanese army, rather than simple medicines. It can be said that the commercial and trade exchanges between the Xinghua Army and the mainland are undoubtedly very close.

Many Japanese merchant ships under the name of the Japanese army also engaged in the trading of such strategic materials for the Xinghua Army. From this, it can also be seen that the Japanese bowl merchants, who are more sensitive to the situation, seem to have realized that the defeat of the Japanese bowl cannot be stopped.

When the Soviet army took advantage of the severe cold to launch a full-scale counterattack against the German army, the Japanese cabinet who learned the news also felt very incredible. In their opinion, if the German ally, this ally, was defeated, then they really could not hold out for long.

It's just that in the current complicated situation, many cabinet members, including the emperor, know that they have no way out. Once defeated, everything they have paid before will be in vain.

It was the madness of the Japanese army that made the US military, which was turning the tide of the war, also feel tremendous pressure. In their opinion, the Japanese army's determination to resist to the end was indeed a great headache for the Allies.

At this moment, they really realized how difficult it was for the Chinese soldiers and civilians to persist until now in the face of these crazy Japanese troops! And if they want to defeat the Japanese army, it seems that the support of the Chinese side is still indispensable!
