Chapter 12: The Wind Rises
Poor Kagayama Osa did not know that he was just an experimental object of Yang Feng, and at this time, he was indeed as panicked as a lost dog, and with the humility peculiar to the low period of the Japanese people, he filled the tanker as fast as he could, and then sailed out of Changi Port himself. At the same time, Yang Feng also got into the European bison under the protection of the convoy, and then the raging beast roared and turned around on the beach, rushed back to the surface of the sea amid the screams of onlookers, and then dragged the small oil tanker that was too slow with a cable to sail to the island of Ambuna with the sunset in the background.
By the early morning of the next day, Yang Feng was already sitting on the deck of Kaohsiung-hime, watching the soldiers draw oil into the oil depot under the command of Kagayama.
After knowing that his monthly salary was three Ming ingots, the latter immediately chose to be loyal to Yang Feng without hesitation, and patted his chest and promised that when he returned to Temasek, he would bring a company of naval officers to the respected Führer in minutes. Thirty and six Daming Yuan Treasures in one Chinese New Year's Eve, which is more than 1,200 meter yuan, and his annual salary of the Navy Dazuo is only more than 4,000 yuan, even according to the pre-war exchange rate, it cannot reach this figure, not to mention that Yang Fengfa issued real gold coins instead of banknotes.
Of course, such a good job has to be done.
What's more, he also knew very well that even if he could escape trial, after returning to China, he would basically find a small fishing boat and end up old, not to mention six gold coins in a Chinese New Year's Eve, he could already laugh happily if he could have six gold coins a year, so Vice Captain Kagayama, who is now directing the work on deck, is as full of ambition as when he sailed to Midway Island facing the rising sun.
"My lord, there was a plane that came around yesterday for a while." Kaohsiung Captain Wu Zurong stood beside Yang Feng and said.
He is the most educated on the island of Ambuna, and even attended Temasek for half a year, but immediately after the Japanese occupation of Temasek, his studies were pulled down, and after Yang Feng's strict review, he became the captain of the Kaohsiung, of course, he is only studying at present.
Yang Feng sat on a recliner like a Southeast Asian drug lord, squinting at the scene of Kagayama-kun's hard work while lazily motioning for him to continue.
"The plane flew very low, and the sign on it should be that of the United States Army Airlines, a large plane with four engines, much like the Liberator bomber in the brochure you gave us, circled over our heads for about ten minutes before flying eastward, probably from the airfield in North Borneo." Wu Zurong continued.
Yang Feng smiled very deeply.
The Liberator reconnaissance plane of the Mi Army Army Airlines, his little fish finally swam into the field of vision of the big sharks, but now the big sharks have no time to take care of him, they are all busy doing big things.
The Japanese surrendered too quickly, and even caught all parties off guard, I have to say that these old devils are shrewd, and there is no ambiguity when it is time to surrender, but this has plunged the Allies into chaos all of a sudden.
The British and Chinese expeditionary forces had just solved the Japanese army in Honsavady, and at this time they had not even entered Siam, and the Australian army in the East Indies had just taken Brunei, and even Kuching and Samarinda were under the control of the Japanese army, to put it bluntly, they had just gained a foothold on Borneo, and by the way, they controlled several major oil fields. The vast majority of Borneo is still in the hands of the Japanese army, as for the landing in Java, Sumatra is still nowhere to be seen, and Annam is also all under the control of the Japanese state.
As a result, the Japanese surrendered all of a sudden, and almost all of Southeast Asia fell into a power vacuum, and the enemies of the Allies quickly changed from the Japanese army to the Communists of various countries, Annam, Siam, Malaya, Java and even Honsawady, which had been recovered, and the guerrillas who originally welcomed the Allies suddenly turned their guns on these old colonists. Even the puppets raised by the Japanese quickly changed their identities and began to study real freedom, especially in the colonies of Gaul and the Netherlands, where the slaves, who knew that their old masters had long been crippled, were full of hope for their future, and the whole of Southeast Asia was now far more complex than it was during the war.
Next, the Britons, who are mainly responsible for the surrender work in this area, must devote all their energy to dealing with these guys, how can they have time to take care of a soil emperor on a small island of several thousand people!
"This is the worst of times, the worst times of heroes, this is the best of times, the best times of heroes, the times that careerists dream of."
The Führer, who was holding a fat civet cat in his arms, shouted.
Takaohime's refueling work was done, and he lazily waved to Mt. Kaga like a dog, and the latter hurriedly ran over with his tail wagging and bowed his waist in wait.
"Make a fire!"
Yang Feng said lightly.
"Hay!"
Deputy Captain Kagayama just like he had faced Yamamoto Fifty-six in the past, bowed after saluting with his legs together, and immediately turned around and ran towards the command room, and then the alarm sounded on the ship, led by those beautiful female robots, more than 600 sailors who had just changed their identities rushed to their respective posts in a panic, and soon the two towering chimneys of Kaohsiung Ji spewed billowing black smoke from the burning of crude oil.
Of course, this is a long process, it is estimated that within three or five hours, this giant ship of more than 10,000 tons will not be able to burn enough steam, the Fuhrer is not interested in smelling hydrogen sulfide here, he immediately got off the ship, and then took the European bison back to the Voyager parked nearly 100 kilometers away, and returned with a batch of munitions at night, as soon as he rushed to the beach and stopped, Huang Yechun hurriedly took Lin Wenchang to meet him, and the latter said without bothering to salute: "My lord, the Javanese people have announced that they have been established, and they have sent invitations to all places, together to form the Republic of Java. ”
"Very good, it's finally getting started." Yang Feng said with a cruel smile.
"My lord, what shall we do now?"
"Don't worry, what are we anxious about? Is the Australian army over now? ”
"No, they are still far away in Brunei, it is impossible to arrive in a short time, and now the Japanese army is still controlling the order, but they are not interested in meddling in affairs, and they generally do not come out of the barracks, the original Pontianak Sultan's family was killed by them the year before last, although the Western Alliance will enter various places, but their number is too small, and there are various factions inside, those who welcome the Dutch people back, those who want to join the Republic of Java, those who want to stand, and now they are also arguing into a pot of porridge."
"Then let them continue to argue."
Yang Feng sneered and said: "You go and invite the Chinese leader who wants to be established, whether he is a member of the Western Alliance or not, but it is not easy to do it in this situation, although the Dutch people have been crippled, it is no problem to mobilize more than 100,000 troops to regain the colony, not to mention that there are Britons to support them." So the best way is to form a republic first, but not to establish a federation, but to form a federation with the Dutch people, with the Dutch queen as the head, so that we can be distinguished from the Javanese, and according to the information I have received in Europe, the goal of the Dutch is also to establish such a federation after the war. ”
"And what about after that?"
"Later? In the future, the Dutch will fight with the Javanese, and when they are exhausted, will they still be qualified to say anything? ”
Lin and Huang both laughed.
"My lord, what if you join the Ming Empire?"
Lin Wenchang asked.
"If you join the Ming Empire, then it is my Yang Feng's people, of course I will not allow others to bully you, what do the Dutch want to do to you, you have to ask first..."
Just as Yang Feng said this, on the sea behind him, Kaohsiung Ji suddenly let out a piercing whistle, and then slowly started to move on the sea, and the boiler of this giant ship finally burned enough steam, and slowly began to accelerate under the impetus of the propeller. The five twin 203mm turrets rotated, and the ten main guns were aimed at the sea in the distance at the same time, and the oil tanker that had originally transported crude oil to it was parked there, and as for the Japanese sailors on board, they had already joined Yang Feng's team with Kaga Sanjun at this time.
Yang Feng smiled and raised his arm to make a gentle downward motion, and then dozens of meters of flames erupted from the first main gun, and before the sound of the cannon ejection reached the shore, the second main gun also spewed flames, with the deafening loud noise that continued to impact the eardrums of the people on the shore, ten 203 mm main guns completed a salvo in more than ten seconds, and ten shells weighing more than 200 kilograms roared across the sea, and the exploding water column instantly flooded the oil tanker, and the two shells that hit directly tore it into pieces.
Against the backdrop of flames and flying steel shards, he continued, "You have to ask my cannon first. ”
Well, his cannon is indeed mighty.
Without hesitation, Lim Boon Cheong boarded a small steamer overnight and sailed to Yamaguchi, while Yang Feng made a beeline for Temasek with his new toy, and as for his hovercraft, this one had been returned to the Voyager by his subordinate robot soldiers.
The 30-knot high-speed Kaohsiung Ji sailed into Changi Port in the rain at midnight, and then a large number of Japanese soldiers who had been waiting for a long time immediately turned into coolies, and quickly began to fill the giant ship with oil, ammunition, food, etc., and Yang Feng paid a part of the gold coins every half an hour, and in this way until dawn, Kaohsiung Ji's draft was finally pressed to the 14,800-ton full load displacement line.
"Itagaki-kun, please don't forget what I said, the door of the Ming Empire will always be open for you and the generals." Yang Feng handed the last batch of gold coins to Itagaki and said solemnly.
"Your Excellency, I will remember your words." Itagaki said with a bow, then looked up at Kagayama and the nearly a hundred naval officers behind him, and without saying anything more, he turned around and walked into his Nissan military vehicle.
After seeing him leave, Yang Feng was also surrounded by bodyguards, took his newly recruited naval officer on board, and slowly sailed out of Changi Port in Kaohsiung Ji, facing the rising sun.
