It wasn't Yoshiko Matsuda and Higashino, whom he regarded as his right-hand men, who gave Tangning this advice, nor the loyal Endo, but his little secretary, Nanako.

Tang Ning slept in Nanako's room that night, but it wasn't until the next morning, after Nanako and Keiko finished serving Tang Ning, that the little secretary blushed and said to Tang Ning: "Boss, I thought of a place, can you think about it?" ”

Tang Ning was a little confused at this time because he had just finished venting, and he didn't react for a while, so he replied casually: "Place? Where? What do I need to consider? ”

The little secretary climbed up to Tang Ning's body in a little anxious, and said in his ear: "Boss, this is the location of the base camp you said you were looking for during the meeting yesterday." ”

Hearing Nanako say this, Tang Ning remembered that this little secretary was in charge of making records during the meeting yesterday, no wonder she would know, but he didn't take it too seriously, what good proposal could a vase like Nanako have, just perfunctorily laughed: "Oh, this matter." Then I'll listen to our lovely Nanako's advice! ”

Nanako and Keiko glanced at each other, and then, as if they had made up their minds, they said hopefully, "Boss, can you consider Ryukyu?" ”

Tang Ning didn't react for a while, and asked with a little confusion: "Ryukyu?" Where is Ryukyu? ”

Nanako explained for a long time, and Tang Ning came to his senses, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that the Ryukyus you are talking about is Okinawa!" But how did you come up with this place? ”

Nanako lowered her head and said, "There are docks and ports in Ryukyu, which meet your first standard, boss, and the transportation is very convenient; The Ryukyus now have no local power, and everything on the island is decided by the American army, which also meets the third criterion you mentioned; And the Ryukyuan people are really hardworking and obedient, and they have a very hard time and are miserable," said Nanako, and Nanako couldn't help crying, not only her, but also Keiko next to her.

Tang Ning didn't know why for a while, and while hugging the two girls and comforting them softly, he asked curiously: "What about Ryukyu, why are you crying?" ”

Keiko twitched and explained: "Because Nanako and I are both Ryukyuan people, boss, you don't know how hard we Ryukyuan people have lived over the years." The Japanese never treated us as human beings, and when they were fighting, they desperately squeezed us, made us pay military expenses and rations, and robbed many people, men went to mining and women went to work as comfort women. The battle failed, and they shouted for the jade to be broken, but as a result, none of the Japanese died, but we Ryukyuan people were killed many, many people."

As Nanako and Keiko continue to tell each other, Tang Ning's vague memories have gradually become clear, in his previous life, due to the problem of the Diaoyu Islands, he once knew about the place of Ryukyu, and now with the confirmation of what the two women said, he found that this place in Ryukyu is actually very much in line with his standards.

Speaking of which, Ryukyu is really a troubled place. The Ryukyu Kingdom is located in the east of Fujian, southwest of Kyushu in Japan, on the sea islands, as early as the Sui Dynasty has been founded, the end of the Yuan Dynasty is divided into Zhongshan, Shannan and Shanbei three countries, the Ming Dynasty Zhongshan unified Ryukyu, and became a Ming Dynasty vassal state, was named the Ryukyu King, the first year of Kangxi, was renamed the Ryukyu King, still a Chinese vassal.

In 1875, Japan invaded the Ryukyus and forcibly changed the Ryukyus to Okinawa, and due to the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government, in 1880 Japan signed the Ryukyu Treaty and the Discretionary Clause with Japan, and Japan officially occupied the Ryukyus.

At the end of World War II, the Japanese militarists, seeing that it was impossible to escape the fate of defeat, instructed the defenders of Okinawa to use the lives of civilians as bargaining chips in an attempt to slow down the US offensive and gain time for the Japanese mainland. (Interested students can Baidu the Battle of Okinawa or have the opportunity to go to the existing Peace Memorial Park in Okinawa, where there is a tombstone engraved with the names of innocent people who died in this atrocity, a total of 240,000, and a Himeyuri Museum, which contains more information, I will post it in the work, so I will not account for the number of words here.) ）

Therefore, the people of the Ryukyus hate the Japanese very much, and the degree of hatred even exceeds that of the American military stationed in Japan that now rules the Ryukyus (the American military has not done anything good in the Ryukyus), and is always eager to return to China or change to self-reliance, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful until 2015, and because the new generation of young Ryukyu people have been brainwashed by Japanese culture, the degree of hatred for Japan has gradually decreased, and they regard themselves as Japanese, so the possibility of Ryukyu independence is getting lower and lower, but in this period of 1947, the Ryukyus desire for independence is the strongest.

Geographically, the strategic position of the Ryukyus is very important, the Ryukyu Islands separate the East China Sea from the Pacific Ocean, and are a natural barrier on the coast of the East Asian mainland, with a total area of 1,220 square kilometers, accounting for one-tenth of the entire Ryukyu Islands, and are the backbone and most favorable support point of the archipelago.

In the southwest of Ryukyu Island, there is a natural harbor ---- Naha, which can accommodate large ships of 10,000 tons, and there are also several airports throughout the island that can accommodate large fleets of various aircraft types. In addition, the distance between Ryukyu and Taiwan is only 640 kilometers, and the distance to Tokyo, Seoul, and Manila (the capital of the Philippines) is about 1,400 kilometers. It takes less than two hours for fighter jets to reach the Korean Peninsula from the Ryukyus, and it only takes a day and a half for warships, so this is a natural military stronghold, otherwise the United States would not have been here for more than 50 years and refused to leave. Of course, such a place must be extremely accessible.

At present, the Ryukyus have the largest military base of the U.S. military in Japan, so the U.S. military occupies an absolute dominant position on the island, not to mention those cults and underworlds, even the four major chaebols of Japan dare not go to the Ryukyus, but Tang Ning is different, after all, he is an American, and he is still engaged in the munitions business of the U.S. military.

As for the manpower problem, Downing has cultivated a group of young technical backbones, so even if they move to the Ryukyus, they only need workers, and the living conditions of the Ryukyu people at this time are much worse than in Tokyo, so the labor will be cheaper, and Downing has one of the biggest advantages, that is, he can ensure that his workers will not be harassed by the US military, which will be a great temptation for the locals.

Moreover, in the subsequent chat, Nanako also gave Tang Ning a great surprise!
