The war was going well throughout Southeast Asia, and in late December, a number of Chinese troops began to appear on the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and even some Indonesian islands.

In order to exterminate the remnants of the Japanese army in Southeast Asia as soon as possible, the Chinese side has increased its troops in Southeast Asia several times, and the number of troops invested in Southeast Asia has reached 10 group armies and more than 500,000 troops.

Under the fierce blows of the Chinese army, the entire Japanese army in Southeast Asia either surrendered or was annihilated, and the scale of the Japanese army in Southeast Asia became smaller and smaller, and the war was gradually coming to an end.

In the Strait of Malacca, near Singapore, the huge military port is gradually coming to an end, and the Chinese fleet has begun to appear from time to time in the coastal waters outside the military port.

When completed, it will be an important base for the Chinese Navy in the Strait of Malacca, and the entire Strait of Malacca will be under the control of the Chinese army.

At present, the Pacific Fleet is already very large, with two aircraft carriers, three battleships, six heavy cruisers, 11 light cruisers, more than 30 missile destroyers, more than a dozen missile frigates, plus transport ships, supply ships, and so on, and the entire fleet has nearly 200 large and small warships.

In addition, there are more than a dozen large and small submarines, equipped with 5 to 600 Mustang fighters, 70 to 80 armed helicopters and transport helicopters, and dozens of transport planes. The number of personnel reached more than 300,000.

In addition to the Pacific Fleet, the preparations for the construction of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy are also gradually coming to an end, and the Indian Ocean Fleet has three aircraft carrier formations under its jurisdiction, each of which has not only one aircraft carrier, but also light and heavy cruisers, missile destroyers, frigates, transport ships, and supply ships, and so on.

Received three aircraft carriers of the Japanese Navy. The renovation and upgrading work has been basically completed. One has already been delivered to the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy, and the remaining two will complete the upgrade within a month, and will also be delivered to the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy.

The first aircraft carrier delivered was called "Wuhan", in order to commemorate the countless heroes and anti-Japanese soldiers who died in the Battle of Wuhan. The remaining two ships will be called "Nanjing" and "Shanghai" respectively. Commemorate the early days of the Anti-Japanese War. The martyrs who died in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing.

The first military port of the Indian Ocean Fleet is near Mawlamyine, and this large military port is under construction. The construction has been going on for more than a month, and this is not only a military port, but also a huge military base, covering an area of more than 100 square kilometers.

Not only the Chinese Navy's Mawlamyine military port is here, but also the Chinese army in Myanmar is also here, and there will be not only a large military port, but also a large airport, and a huge military camp.

A large number of Japanese prisoners of war in Southeast Asia were working here to contribute to the construction of this military base.

There are busy construction sites everywhere, and there are at least tens of thousands of laborers, in addition to the twenty or thirty thousand small Japanese free laborers who are dressed in uniform and have large numbers on the back and chest of the clothing, there are also a large number of local laborers.

Such a large project, the labor required is massive, at this time there is no advanced construction machinery, and the construction period requirements are very urgent, China has recruited a large number of local labor.

These people, basically the locals near Mawlamyine, heard that they were recruited to do things, they had three meals a day, and they could get two liters of rice a day, and many people came to the construction site to do things.

It has only been a short time since the Japanese army in Burma was wiped out by the Chinese army, just over a month, and the new government of Burma has just been established.

After the news spread that China's Mawlamyine military base was going to start construction and recruit tens of thousands of strong laborers, the locals signed up one after another, asking to participate in the labor, eat three meals a day, and distribute two liters of rice every day.

"It's time to eat! It's time to eat! ”

At noon, as soon as everyone stopped to rest, someone shouted loudly, and soon, a big truck and more than a dozen fighters came over.

This area is full of local people in Myanmar, some veterans who have been here for a month, and there are also novice laborers who have just come here.

"Line up, don't rush!"

A soldier who saw a large number of Burmese laborers surrounding him immediately shouted loudly, and when he heard the shouting, these people immediately quieted down and lined up to come up to eat with all kinds of rice bowls.

"Wow! It's all white rice! ”

A young man dressed in washed white clothes with several patches saw the steaming white rice, and immediately shouted, and many people next to him laughed when they saw this person.

"Young man! You're new! A strong man in his thirties asked with a smile.

"How do you know I'm new?" The young man was inexplicable, he didn't know the strong man, but others seemed to know him.

Seeing the young man's expression, many people around him laughed even more happily.

When I saw white rice, I yelled in surprise, it must be a new arrival, the food here has always been OK, it is generally white rice, it is full, and there are generally one or two side dishes.

At the beginning, especially on the first day of the big construction, these Burmese locals were simply stunned when they saw that the meal was full of white rice and a side dish, but they didn't expect the food to be so good.

After about ten days of labor, one day, a braised pork was added, although each person only had one scoop, and the braised pork could not be filled, but these Burmese people were still completely crazy.

One by one, the mouths are full of greasy, and there are at least several large pieces of braised pork in a scoop, and these people who haven't been exposed to meat for a long time can't believe that they can still eat braised pork.

This braised pork was talked about by these people on the whole construction site, and it was talked about for several days, and later, it was also spread outside, to the city of Mawlamyine, and since then, more and more people have come to ask to participate in labor construction.

Now, when you see the young man shouting in surprise, everyone knows that he must be a newcomer, and if you have worked here for a while, you will know that this place is not only full, but also basically white rice.

When it was the young man's turn, the young man trembled a little with excitement, and handed over his big bowl with a slight trembling, and the chef who made the meal was also more generous, making a bowl full of rice, and adding a large scoop of green vegetables on top.

Looking at the green vegetables and the bowl full of white rice, the young man immediately gobbled it up.

Several soldiers next to him smiled slightly when they saw the appearance of this young man, but they didn't expect that in the eyes of everyone, it was not a good meal at all, but in the eyes of these people, it was simply too good to be better.

The food of the soldiers is naturally more than one grade higher than that of these laborers, not only is there meat and fish, but also there are many more varieties of colors.

At present, the country is developing rapidly, and there have been bumper grain harvests one after another, especially the grain yield per mu has increased greatly, and in addition, it has recovered a large area of land in Outer Mongolia and Siberia, especially the Siberian region near Heilongjiang, which is the main grain-producing area, and the grain supply of the entire army is very sufficient.

In the eyes of the soldiers, the food provided to these local people who came to participate in the labor was only okay at best, but in the eyes of these locals, who basically did not have enough to eat, working here was simply a beautiful difference.

The number of locals participating in the labor construction here has increased from a few thousand on the first day to tens of thousands of people now, and a large number of people have participated in the construction, and the construction speed of the entire Mawlamyine military base can be seen with the naked eye, which is simply one day at a time.

Just providing three full meals, plus two liters of rice, in exchange for a laborer, and a motivated laborer, in fact, made a lot of money.

Now, construction has been under construction for more than a month.

This military port of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy has begun to take shape, because it was originally a seaport, and it can be renovated slightly, and now, with the military port beginning to take shape, a large number of labor force will focus on the construction of airfields and barracks for Chinese troops stationed in Burma in the future.

Although there is a lot less labor force in the construction of the military port, there are still several thousand laborers engaged in labor in the entire military port.

Offshore.

The huge aircraft carrier formation, which has always been huge, is approaching the military port, and the Mawlamyine military port has begun to take shape, and there is no problem with the docking of large warships and even aircraft carriers.

The core of this aircraft carrier formation is the "Wuhan" aircraft carrier with a displacement of 50,000 to 60,000 tons; in addition, there are three light cruisers of 5 to 6,000 tons, seven or eight missile destroyers, several missile frigates, supply ships, and so on, and more than 20 warships of all sizes.

Although this is not all the warships of the 1st Aircraft Carrier Formation, it is also the main force of most of them, and the 1st Aircraft Carrier Formation departed from Haikou Military Port, passed through the Strait of Malacca, and arrived at Mawlamyine, with the purpose of conducting ocean-going training.

The war in Southeast Asia as a whole is coming to an end, and naturally there is no combat mission for the newly established Indian Ocean Fleet, and even if there is a mission, it is a matter for the Pacific Fleet.

The main task of the newly formed Indian Ocean Fleet is training at present, and in a few months, it may enter the European theater of operations, and fight against Germany with the Allies, which was the commitment of the Chinese side when the Tokyo Treaty was signed.
