Chapter 789: Hard-Hearted

After nightfall, the gunfire softened, and the whole city was in the middle of the night. The fire of both the attackers and the defenders destroyed almost all the wooden buildings.

The British were so determined that they decided to take control of Singapore at any cost, and for this purpose the British Governor of the Straits Settlements personally gave the order for a fire attack. In order to drive out and annihilate the Koreans who were hiding in various buildings in the street fighting.

The Koreans were equally determined, but unlike the British, their aim was not to control Singapore, but to destroy the port city entirely, in order to weaken British control in the Far East, which, according to many Koreans, was supporting Japan. As long as British control over the Far East is weakened, Japan will have to give Korea an independent international status under China's military and diplomatic pressure.

Because both sides of the war have a strong sense of ** color. Therefore, the battle of Singapore was particularly tragic, and neither the British nor the North Koreans left the slightest room for the other side to turn around.

But the British were much stronger, and Britain not only had a world-class naval force. Moreover, the strength of the army should not be underestimated, although the main forces of the British army are currently deployed in the European theater. But in Asia and Africa, Britain also controlled vast colonies, which could not only provide Britain with cheap industrial raw materials and labor, but also at the same time provide Britain with cheap military supplies, British East Africa, British India. These areas may not be the most combat-ready troops, but they are clearly the cheapest. The British government could easily recruit cannon fodder from these colonies for use in colonial warfare.

When the British colonial authorities received reinforcements from India, the balance of war immediately tilted in favor of the British, and the thousands of Korean armed soldiers stationed in the harbor of Singapore could not withstand the frantic attack of the British and Indian troops in any case.

In fact, by the afternoon, the battle for Singapore was coming to an end, although the gunfire didn't really fade until the evening. But before dark, the organized resistance of the Koreans had collapsed, and all that remained was a battle of honor done by a few armed men with their bloody bravery, not only to show the fighting courage of the Koreans, but also to attract international attention, to draw a perfect end to this inexplicable war with a tragic performance.

This war is indeed a bit inexplicable, the Koreans want to make their motherland independent from Japanese colonial rule, but they are fighting against the British ** team who can't fight with the Korean eight poles. To tell the truth, even the North Koreans themselves have some real names, recalling the direct fuse of this war, it seems to be related to the British ** team to search for suspects in the explosion of Japanese merchant ships, but who bombed and sank those Japanese merchant ships, there seems to be no hard evidence at present, although there are many leaflets scattered by Korean independence elements at the scene, but since they are leaflets. Then anyone can print, even Japanese, and they can disguise themselves as Koreans.

This inexplicable state of affairs aroused great interest not only among journalists, but also on the high alarm of the British government, and all the details seemed to remind British politicians: in the Far East. There's a black hand that manipulates everything.

So who, exactly, is manipulating all this? Is it the neurotic emperor of Germany? Or China's unpredictable "mad president"? Warriors, are they simply American troublemakers?

The more in the time of despicability. The more suspicious people are, and the British politicians are no exception, and now that the war in Europe has begun, the European powers can no longer take into account the interests of the Far East. The European powers feared nothing more than any attempt to fish in troubled waters and seize their interests in the Far East. And the most suspicious are those countries that have not yet been directly involved in the war in Europe.

It is also driven by this mentality that British politicians finally decided to use bloody force to suppress it to show the British government's strong determination to safeguard the interests of the Far East.

It turned out that the power of the British was indeed not to be underestimated, and under the attack of the British and Indian troops, the resistance of the Koreans had basically collapsed, and all that remained was the question of the aftermath, but the British Mr. Governor of the Straits Settlements obviously intended to continue to deal with the aftermath with iron and blood, and ordering the British and Indian troops to set fire to the attack was the embodiment of Mr. Governor-General's will.

Most of the residential areas set by the British and Indian troops were Chinese communities, and looking across the strait at the burning port, many Chinese refugees lost their voices in pain, for many of these refugees. The wealth that had been reduced to ashes in the fire and smoke had been the hard work of generations, but now it had been reduced to nothing by the light order of the British governor.

Standing on the high ground, looking at the city in the firelight, Huang Chengshan is face was gloomy.

Before the evacuation of the city, the Huang family's Xinfu Chinese medicine shop had actually been destroyed in the war. Although Huang Chengshan Yi Xunshu is finely concave and said that the different body clam and Sichuan River have long been prepared. But when he looked back at his second hometown, the grief and indignation of the second middle school were also real.

"This is the sorrow under the fence. When others tell you to get out, you have to get out of here. ”

I don't know who lamented behind Huang Chengshan, which caused a resonance.

"Westerners are also outsiders, so why can they gain a foothold here, but we Tang people can't gain a foothold here? In the final analysis, this is still a principle of the law of the jungle. If you want not to be eaten, you must learn to be strong! ”

Huang Chengshan smiled sadly, and his words made everyone at the scene silent.

Huang Chengshan didn't explain his words much, but after looking up to the sky and letting out a long howl, he turned around and walked down the high ground, followed by several of his subordinates, although everyone was dressed as refugees, but the perseverance in their eyes showed the strength of their hearts.

The prerequisite for being strong is to be strong inside. You even have to be a hard-hearted person.

It is very difficult for ordinary people to be truly hard-hearted. But Huang Chengshan planned to give it a try, and his current performance was very good, at least, he personally lit the fire of the new Fuzhou Chinese medicine shop. Forge yourself into a cold-blooded animal of steel with this fire.

Huang Chengshan evacuated Singapore yesterday, and as soon as he left Singapore, he caught up with the British governor-general to issue an "eviction order." "Order all Chinese and Huaqiao who have gathered near Singapore to evacuate immediately. Although Huang Chengshan was also expelled, he still managed to postpone the expulsion date

Sky.

Now, seeing that it is time to evacuate the passengers stipulated in the eviction order, Huang Chengshan must leave Johor before dawn and go to Penang, and before going to Penang, he has learned through special channels that his father Huang Qiuyuan is looking for him all over the world, and this trip to Penang, on the one hand, is to accept a new mission, on the other hand, it is also to reunite with relatives, now, not only Huang Qiuyuan is in Penang, Huang Chengshan's family is also most of the people in Penang, among the family members, such as Huang Chengshan "whereabouts unknown" He is the only one.

After leaving the highlands, Huang Chengshan rushed to the railway station with Dan Ming's men and took a train to Penang in the north.

Penang is located in the central region of Peninsular Malaysia. It is a seaport city, under the jurisdiction of the British Straits Settlements, similar to Singapore, Penang's population composition is a considerable proportion of Chinese and overseas Chinese, and there are even open Chinese newspapers in the local area, the reason why the anti-Qing revolutionary party chose Penang as an important overseas base. It is because of the local "Chinese color" in China's modern history, many celebrities have had an indissoluble bond with Penang, including both revolutionaries and reformists, of course, the number of conservatives is also a lot, and the conflict between cultural and political ideas born in modern China is also reflected in Penang, which can also be seen that betel nut has a deep connection with Chinese culture.

But it was the British who ruled Penang. The British colonial authorities were not opposed to the importation of Chinese laborers, but they were contemptuous of the Chinese culture brought by them, especially after the fall of the Manchu dynasty. With the rise of nationalist sentiment in China. The British colonial authorities decided to suppress Chinese culture. Not only did most local Chinese newspapers be banned, but Chinese schools were also dissolved.

But what Britain is facing now is not the "sick man of East Asia" Britain is now facing not only a republican China that is moving towards the country of Yaye, but also the British must face the influence of the "mad president", as the Sino-Japanese war comes to an end, the prestige of the "mad president" is getting higher and higher, not only has a large number of fanatical followers in the country, but even in Penang, the postcard printed with the head of the "mad president" is also a sought-after commodity, and no one knows the "motherland" better than the overseas Chinese and Chinese wandering abroad Only a strong motherland can truly protect the interests of overseas travelers.

Now, with the outbreak of the "Malayan Crisis", nationalism has finally replaced other ideas, and the Chinese and overseas Chinese in Penang are also deeply influenced by this thinking, "Mad President." of fanatical believers have also become the main force in the Chinese community.

Wong Seung-sun is one of those fanatical believers, who have completely fallen under the banner of nationalism through the battle of Singapore, and he is determined to devote himself to this movement, using his special status to muddy the troubled waters of the South Seas.

It is for this reason that Wong Seung-sun rushed to Penang, and now that Singapore has been destroyed beyond recognition by the war, it is impossible to recover its vitality anytime soon. Then it is necessary to choose another political center for the Chinese in Nanyang, and Penang is now more suitable.

However, after rushing to Penang, Huang Chengshan suddenly appeared, and he had to solve a problem first. This trouble is no worse than that of the British colonial army, which, if not handled properly, may cause a split between the Chinese and overseas Chinese communities.

So, after really going to Penang and figuring out the situation, the first thing Huang Chengshan did was not to meet with his father, but to contact Gong Chuntai, who arrived in Penang earlier. , If you want to know what happened next, please log in to the muscle chapter for more, support the author, and support the genuine reading of the book to dry the fine concave Xunshan different body clams
