It was a very calm morning, the sea and the sky were colorful, the sun was shining, and compared to the heat of summer.

Standing in front of the window of the office, Su Shiyu looked into the distance, the vague outlines of those warships on the sea antenna were faintly visible, and several air force fighters were also hovering over the city, everything looked so calm, as if the war had not broken out at all.

This is the new Jinshan Port of Bangka Island, the Governor's Palace, as the current Governor of the leased land of Bangka Island, Su Shiyu's nerves have been tense in the past few days, always paying attention to the movements of the British ** team in the direction of Singapore, Bangka Island is really close to Singapore, for the Air Force, it is just an hour or two of the flight, it can be said that whether it is Bangka Island or Singapore, it is within the attack range of the opponent's air force, understand this, and you can understand Su Shiyu's current mood.

On the other hand, although yesterday, the governments of China and Britain declared war on each other and officially entered a state of war, until now, Xinjinshan has not been invaded in any way, not even the British planes that dropped leaflets have come.

Undoubtedly, this further confirms the strategic reconnaissance report of the Air Force, the British army's preparation for war is quite poor, whether it is troops or weapons, the British government in the Far East is not ready for a full-scale war, and now, due to the activity of the Chinese submarine force in the Red Sea, the British government's attempt to quickly reinforce the British forces in the Far East has also been effectively curbed, although the British army still has a certain military strength in the Malay Peninsula and West Borneo, but it is very difficult to defend, The current overall strategic situation is very favorable for China's offensive strategy.

As the governor of Bangka Island, Su Shiyu has some understanding of the offensive strategy of the central government, and according to the offensive strategy formulated by the central government, the Bangka Island Naval Base will play an extremely important role in the next military offensive, and this may become the first strategic springboard for the "Malayan Campaign" started by the Chinese side, and if the Chinese Army will start a landing operation against the Malayan Peninsula, they will come out of Bangka Island.

In fact, the Chinese Army has now assembled 50,000 troops on Bangka Island, these troops were successively transferred from the mainland to the Nanyang region during the "Second Nanyang War", a small number of troops have directly participated in the battle in East Borneo, and most of the troops have been stationed in several large barracks on Bangka Island. The central government has always been making long-term plans, and this is a series of strategic moves, the purpose of which is to one day use this strategic iron fist to smash the line of British colonial interests in Asia, and drive British power out of the Far East and even the entire Asian region in one fell swoop.

Since yesterday afternoon, military vehicles of the Chinese Army can be seen shuttling back and forth on the streets of this new Jinshan, transporting military supplies and troops to ports and wharves, and anti-aircraft guns have also been erected in those spacious squares, with the muzzles facing the sky, and military police on patrol missions can also be seen on the streets.

The British government obviously also saw the important role played by Bangka Island in China's offensive strategy, so at the same time as the declaration of war, the British government had clearly classified Bangka Island, a territory that legally belonged to Lan Fang, into the war zone, just as the British government also included the hostile colonies in the European war of that year, and at the same time, the British government also decided to reduce Singapore's position in the British Far East defense strategy and transfer the main force of the naval fleet stationed in Singapore to relatively safe seas. In order to avoid a surprise attack from the direction of Bangka Island, the Chinese air force unit at the Bangka Island Naval Base has always been a sharp sword hanging over the head of the British fleet, making it difficult for the British government to sleep.

There are all kinds of signs that Bangka Island is about to become the protagonist in this Sino-British war, some timid residents have begun to buy boat tickets and plane tickets, and evacuate to Lanfang with their families, or leave the city of Xinjinshan, go to the countryside to escape the war, but most of the citizens of Xinjinshan still remain calm, doing their work step by step, the war has not affected the stability of people's hearts, perhaps, this is the trust of the military, The Air Force fighters hovering over New Gold Hill proved to the citizens their determination to defend the burgeoning city.

Su Shiyu had originally made a plan to appease people's hearts, including spiritual comfort and material comfort, but now it seems that this plan is not used for the time being, so he was able to focus all his energy on military work, after going to work today, he shook a few phone calls from the office, summoned the commander of the naval base and the commander of the air force to the office, he needs to know the current progress of military preparations, during the war, he Su Shiyu is the captain of this "unsinkable aircraft carrier".

At the same time, Mr. Governor's staff was summoned to the Governor's office for a meeting, and its members covered almost all industries, including local businessmen and politicians from the country.

Now that the subordinates have not yet arrived, Su Shiyu will take advantage of this rare free time to enjoy the peaceful scene of this new gold mountain, and at the same time listen to the domestic radio program, and now the tube radio is broadcasting international news, and the focus of the news is basically focused on the content related to the "Asian Liberation War", perhaps seeing that China has taken the initiative to attack Britain in the Far East, and now Japan, Germany, and Italy are also very excited.

The Japanese Government sent a diplomatic note to the Australian Government, demanding that the Australian Government repeal all laws that discriminate against people of color and effectively protect the lives and property of Japanese nationals doing business in the Republic of Papua, because the Japanese Government has heard rumors that some white radical groups in the area are planning attacks on Japanese nationals.

The German government was even more excessive than the Japanese government, and at the moment of the declaration of war between China and Britain, the German government officially issued an ultimatum to the Czechoslovak government, ordering the Czechoslovak government to cede the Sudetenland to Germany, and at the same time demanding that the Czechoslovak president dissolve the first army.

The Italian Government, for its part, dictated the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and raised the question of the redivision of a number of disputed islands to the Greek Government.

In contrast to the intent to further complicate the situation in Asia and Europe, which is what the Chinese government would like to see, the French and American governments are desperately looking for ways to calm the current tensions, and the League of Nations is calling in vain for restraint on both sides of the war.

This is the legendary "big change", Su Shiyu very much wants to directly participate in this big change.

To tell the truth, if the center let Su Shiyu choose by himself, he would now rather sit in the command of the Air Force Command and directly participate in this great war, rather than sit in this governor's office and watch this war, although he is now the supreme command of the Xinjinshan Naval Base, but the attack on the Malaya region is not his turn to intervene in any case, and now, the theater commander who presided over the Malayan offensive, Lieutenant General Zhou Daogang, has flown to Xinjinshan, just waiting for the center's order.

As a lieutenant general of the Air Force, but can not directly participate in this attack on Malaya, Su Shiyu is indeed very regretful in his heart, he has a little "hate" Shen Honglie who recommended him to take over the position of governor, if it were not for Shen Honglie's recommendation, he Su Chief of Staff would not be standing in front of the window of the governor's office now, as for this Shen Honglie, now he does not know what sea area he is commanding the aircraft carrier task force to cruise.

When Su Shiyu was depressed, the intercom on the desk rang.

"Mr. Governor, the commander of the naval base and the commander of the air force have arrived, will they be invited?" The secretary asked on the intercom.

Su Shiyu walked back to the desk and pressed the button of the intercom.

"Tell them to come in at once.

When the staff came over, I asked them to sit in the reception room for a while, and I would talk to them after my meeting with the base commander. ”

After speaking, Su Shiyu loosened the button, and then sat back on the Chinese-style sand, this Chinese-style sand was given to Su Shiyu when Shen Honglie stepped down, Shen Honglie boasted of promoting Chinese culture in Nanyang, so he always likes to dress up the things around him with a Chinese atmosphere, but Su Shiyu does not value these formal things, after taking office, he gradually replaced the architectural interiors of those Chinese and Western buildings left by Governor Shen, so that its appearance has changed greatly, but this Chinese-style sand has not been thrown, because it is really comfortable to sit.

Soon, the secretary led the two officers into the office, served tea to them, and then exited the office and closed the door with his hand.

"The General Staff originally intended to carry out an air raid on the British Navy's Changi base in Singapore after the start of the war, but according to the aerial reconnaissance of the previous few days, the capital ships of the British fleet at the base were all missing, and the General Staff was worried that the British fleet had withdrawn to India, so now let's postpone the air raid operation for the time being, and at the same time strengthen the aerial reconnaissance and sea reconnaissance of the waters near Malaya, and once it is confirmed that the British fleet is not nearby, then immediately dispatch the army forces to start the Malayan landing operation.

Now, the Navy is preparing to land ships, and the Air Force also needs a corresponding escort plan, and yesterday's order was delivered, and now I want to see how your preparations are going? Su Shiyu asked first, but before his subordinates could answer, a terrible air defense siren suddenly sounded outside the window.

Hearing the sound of the air defense siren, several people present were stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up, walked to the window, and looked out, Su Shiyu was very strange, because there was no air defense exercise today, so the only explanation was that the radar station of the naval base showed an unusual movement in the air, and it was confirmed that it was an enemy plane.

The British did have some bombers and fighters in Malaya and West Borneo, but the current situation in Burma was very unfavorable to the British army, and in this case, the British army did not use the air force to support the Burma theater, but ran over to attack Xinjinshan, which is a bit surprising.

At this time, a black-shell phone on the desk rang, and Su Shiyu hurriedly walked over and picked up the microphone.

"The Air Force radar station is now attacking the target, and the preliminary judgment is that it should be a large group of British aircraft, and the Air Force has urgently taken off fighter jets to intercept it.

Judging from the course, the target of the British aircraft should be Xinjinshan. ”

The phone was shaken by the Air Defense Command, and it conveyed an important message to Su Shiyu: the British government is indeed determined to safeguard its Asian interests.
