644: Concentration camps

Because of its current international status and some characteristics of the United States, the United States has created its special cultural concept, and because of its unique way of governing, the United States today is far from being as difficult as that of later generations. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In dealing with the current United States, in fact, you only need to pay attention to two points, one is that your own strength should make the Americans feel pressure, and the other is that you do not take the initiative to provoke the Americans.

As long as these two points can be guaranteed, then it can basically be guaranteed that the Americans will never be the first to go to war with you.

But does the United States really wear the same pants as Britain and France? Of course not, although the United States and Britain are from the same place and were a family hundreds of years ago, but in the American Revolutionary War, their opponents were the British, and Britain was colonies all over the world, which has squeezed the living space of the United States.

Yes, the United States also needs a large number of colonies, such as the Philippines from Spain, Panama from Colombia, a strategic location, and so on.

The Americans also want to maximize their own interests, and it is naturally best to cooperate with the Allies, but in this way, they cannot explain to the people, and directly send troops to help the Entente, it is even more impossible to explain to the people, and then it has become the current situation, the Americans can only use a large amount of military aid to aid the Entente, and at the same time, when the Entente is really about to consume the Allies, the Americans are choosing to enter the war and go up to row a piece of the cake.

At this time, William made such calculations, so after comprehensive consideration, he finally agreed to the lobbying of Britain and France and agreed to provide military aid to Japan.

If it weren't for the fact that Britain and France were suffering from war at this time, I am afraid that it would not have been the turn of the United States to do such a thing.

But now the Chinese have discovered this secret, which caught the United States off guard, is it to stop military aid? Or will we continue to increase the intensity of military aid? But no matter what the Americans do next, they have already offended the Chinese, there is no doubt about it.

…………

Just when William was having a headache for the next choice, Japan on the other side of the ocean was playing a different picture.

Trees were cut down one by one, and the trees were arranged in a row to form a huge circle, forming a fence about two and a half meters high, on both sides of the fence was a deep pit about three meters deep, and on the other side was the dirt behind the wooden fence, which was not much different from the first line of defense built by the Japanese army at the Akune beachhead, but slightly lower in height.

It took the Japanese about a month to build the two-kilometer-long defensive line, but it took only three days to build the camp, which covers an area of about 1,000 acres.

For three days, all the Japanese had hardly any time to rest, and from the time they were captured until the completion of the project, they had to be constantly busy, and if they slackened, they would be smashed with clubs or rifles by the guards of the guard.

The construction of this camp alone killed at least a thousand Japanese people, an average of one person died every minute, and those who died were carried directly to an open field, and when a certain number of them were accumulated, they were directly burned in a fire, and even a complete corpse could not be saved.

Fortunately, when the camp was completed, the Japanese were finally free from the fatigue and they were finally able to get plenty of rest.

Working non-stop for three days and three nights in a row, everyone felt a strong sense of exhaustion, without a mouthful of food, they could only drink a small amount of water every day, and in just three days, the Japanese, who were already a little sluggish, became even more crumbling.

However, not having to work does not mean that happy times are coming, on the contrary, those who died before may be the happiest.

Outside the camp, about 100 or so people stood in five rows, covered in thin wood and bones, and their faces were sallow, indicating that they had not eaten food for a long time.

"Congratulations on making the right choice, I don't want to say more nonsense, but what I want to tell you is that this choice of yours is really wise, the Empire's military rations are not rich, because it needs to be transported here from the distant Imperial mainland, and we can only guarantee the rations of the Imperial soldiers, so there is no more food to provide to more people." A young soldier would keep pacing in front of the 100 Japanese, lighting a cigarette and speaking eloquently.

"So, for the next few days, all the people who stay in this camp may not get even a grain of food, but it is possible that there will be enough food for them every day. However, no one can guarantee that our military rations will be sufficient. But either way, those of you who have already made your decision are undoubtedly the luckiest guys.

First of all, I can assure you that everyone present will receive two meals a day, and that you will be treated the same as we are, and that you will eat whatever the Imperial soldiers eat.

In addition to that, each of you can also get an extra person's portion, which you enjoy yourself? Or is it left to your loved ones? It's up to you.

Next, I will give you weapons, and the security of the camp will be handed over to you, I don't want to hear the news of the riots in the camp, if there is such a day, I think I will definitely order the killing of everyone in the camp, including you, of course. ”

The young soldiers said one after another, and naturally someone from the Japanese below went to translate, and when they heard that there was food to eat, many people's faces showed a burst of fine light.

They hadn't eaten for three days and three nights, and if they were so hungry, who could guarantee that they would survive tonight? Defecting to the Chinese seems quite humiliating, but what are you doing with your bones at this time? Waiting to die?

Immediately afterwards, the Japanese were taken to the restaurant, which was actually the place where several tents had been erected, only the top was covered with a layer of canvas, and the bottom was a pot stove for cooking.

The cooking class had prepared their thick rice porridge for the 100 people, and at least four-fifths of the bowl was rice, and for the Japanese, this bowl of rice porridge alone was enough for them to be excited, and with this bowl of rice porridge, it was enough for them to live for two or three days.

However, this is not the end, and then a steamed bun was distributed to everyone, as well as two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, just looking at these breakfasts, these 100 Japanese people have already been full of ha, when was the last time they ate such rich food? A few months ago? Or a few years ago? Or have you never eaten such a hearty meal?

The Chinese prepared a new lunch box for each of these Japanese, which was the same as the lunch box of Chinese soldiers, divided into two layers, the lower layer for soup, and the upper layer for food.

The Japanese on the 100th didn't care about the image at all, and immediately gobbled it up after eating, and the Japanese who didn't come behind to eat were even more cursed, because the people in front of them patronized and ate, blocking their way to eat.

After eating, these Japanese didn't even have time to clean the lunch box, and then they lined up again, and the food promised to them before was also packed into the lunch box, and many Japanese people were even more bright, but they couldn't eat it when they touched their swollen stomachs.

Immediately afterwards, the 100th Japanese were led to another place, where they were given brand new clothes, which were used to distinguish friend from foe, but this was not the kind of military uniform worn by the Chinese soldiers, but Japanese military uniforms, which were taken down from the battlefield, and the difference with the Japanese army was that these only had military uniforms, not hats.

Changing into military uniforms, the men received their weapons, which were Type 30 rifles captured from the battlefield, and were equipped with twenty cartridges for each.

The Type 38 rifle was put away and was intended to be used in the future when the puppet army was formed.

These young Japanese men are young people who have received militarized training, so they don't have to worry about using rifles at all, they can use them themselves.

After such a toss, this Japanese civilian army of 100 people became an army in the blink of an eye. Although there is still a big gap between them and the real army, it doesn't seem to matter, they are only facing those Japanese civilians, and there are Chinese troops stationed on the periphery, and these weapons are also enough to use.

Subsequently, the No. 100 'Japanese Army' swaggered into the camp with lunch boxes and rifles on their backs, and from this moment on, they, the No. 100 people, would be responsible for the security of the barracks.

Of course, the number one hundred and ten people have to manage tens of thousands of prisoners, which is still a bit difficult, but it doesn't seem to matter, they are full of food on the hundred and ten, and they are all hungry guys for a few days and nights, as long as they survive the first two days, it is estimated that those guys just want to resist, and they don't have the strength to make that kind of stupid move.

Moreover, the Chinese did not limit the behavior of these Japanese, they could use the extra food given to them to recruit a different number of men for themselves, so that these men could help them manage the camp.

The camp, in fact, is the concentration camp rumored by the outside world, but there are some differences with the concentration camp rumored by the outside world, such as the concentration camp here only holds civilians, and the Chinese are completely herding management for them, no matter you, within the scope of this camp, you can do whatever you want, find food for yourself when you are hungry, find yourself for drink when you are thirsty, I will not kill you, nor will I beat you, I will not even talk to you, and you will not tell me anything about abusing prisoners and the like.

As for the prisoners of war......

Hehe, there are no prisoners of war!
