"Your Excellency, on behalf of all British officers and soldiers and civilians in Singapore, I surrender to the Xinhua Army. I hope that your army will keep your promise and keep us safe. For us, the war is over. Bonham, the British Governor of the Straits Settlements, said. He led LinkedIn officials and military generals in Singapore to formally surrender to the Xinhua Army. Surrender in exchange for the lives of the British in Singapore.

"I accept your surrender, please rest assured that the Xinhua Army will keep its word. We made a promise that we would definitely travel. "On behalf of the Xinhua Army, Major General Sun Hao accepted the surrender of Governor Wenham. The Xinhua Army was able to occupy Singapore without bloodshed, which was very advantageous to the Xinhua State. First of all, the soldiers will not pay heavy casualties for the siege. More importantly, the Chinese people in the city will not be affected by the war. The hundreds of thousands of Chinese will be very important to the Xinhua Army.

"Victory, we have finally won!" The vast number of Chinese people in Singapore are all elated. They had been waiting for so long, and now they were finally able to get their wish. After the rise of the new Chinese country, they also longed for the new Chinese army to capture Singapore, so that they could join the big family of the new Chinese country and no longer have to be bullied by the British. It's just that Xinhua was not strong at that time, and it didn't dare to start a war with a world power like Britain. The Chinese in Singapore had no choice but to continue to endure the colonial rule of the British. However, deep down, they all look forward to such a day. Now, their dreams have finally come true.

"Your Excellency the Governor. You see, that's what the people want. British rule in Singapore did not last long. We are the masters here. Major General Sun Hao said with a smile.

Governor Bonham's face was gloomy. did not pick up the words of Major General Sun Hao. But deep down, he didn't agree with Major General Sun Hao's point of view at all. Wasn't the Xinhua Army able to take Singapore away from the British because of their strong military strength? If the Xinhua Army did not defeat the British army, no matter how much these Chinese wanted to join the Xinhua Army, it would be useless. Military strength is the guarantee of a qiē.

One British soldier after another. He walked out of his position, handed over his weapons and equipment to the Xinhua Army, and then walked into the prisoner of war camp temporarily prepared by the Xinhua Army. These British soldiers. They all had expressions on their faces that of the aftermath of the catastrophe. They originally thought that this time they were dead, and now they can save their lives, which is already very good. As for glory and the like, for these ordinary soldiers. It's not too important. Anyway, they've done their best. In the end, they still failed, and it didn't have much to do with them anymore.

After the surrender of the British army, the Xinhua army quickly took control of Singapore and held the throat of the Strait of Malacca. Subsequently, Major General Sun Hao gave the order, and the Xinhua Army began to attack the rest of the Straits Settlements. The Straits Settlements included vast lands on the Malay Peninsula in addition to Singapore. These lands were taken from Siam and Burma by the British. Right now. It's all cheap Xinhuaguo.

The main force of the British army has been wiped out by the Xinhua army in Singapore, defending these areas. There are only about 20,000 people. When the British learned that the Xinhua Army had captured Singapore, they had even less courage to continue fighting. Often, before the Xinhua army could fight, they fled, leaving a large area of land to the Xinhua army.

The massive reinforcement of the Straits Settlements by Lord Ellenborough, the Viceroy of India, was also halted by the surrender of the Governor of Bonham. In fact, the support of the Indian colonies to the Straits Settlements had only just begun. Although the Xinhua Navy blocked the Strait of Malacca and the Burma Sea, it was very difficult to completely block the vast ocean. Coupled with the reinforcements sent by the Indian colonies, it would be much easier to break through the blockade of the Xinhua Army under the cover of night. But even so, quite a few transport ships transporting soldiers and war materials were intercepted by the Xinhua Navy. Of course, the Indian Ocean Fleet also tried to send a fleet to break through the blockade of the Xinhua Army. However, the Indian Ocean Fleet's new 'Apollo-class' warships have all been lost, and the remaining old warships cannot compete with the 'Shark-class' cruisers of the Xinhua Army. After the heavy losses, we had to stop this kind of behavior, which did not outweigh the losses.

The fall of the Straits Settlements was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Indian colonies. In particular, after the Xinhua Army occupied the Straits Settlements, it was able to pose a threat to India by crossing the Bay of Bengal, which made India directly exposed to the strong front of the Xinhua Army. Lord Ehrenborough, the Viceroy of India, constantly asked for help from the British, and at the same time recruited more troops in India to prepare to defend against the attack of the Xinhua Army in India. India has a population of hundreds of millions, and it is not a problem at all to recruit enough troops.

Lord Ellenborough began to desperately strengthen India's defenses, preparing to defend against the attack of the Xinhua army. As a matter of fact, Xinhua did not have India among its targets in this campaign. The British had completely occupied India and established their rule over India. India also became the most important British colony. If Xinhua wants to make a move against India, Britain will definitely fight Xinhua to the death. The current Xinhua State does not have enough strength to fight with Britain. Besides, the Xinhua Army had not yet overthrown the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and neither the huge population and resource advantages in the country could be translated into national strength. It would be very uneconomical to start a full-scale war with Britain now. Therefore, Xinhua only wanted to drive British power out of the South Seas and ensure Xinhua rule over the South Seas and the Far East. After Xinhua overthrew the Manchus and completely digested China, it would compete with Britain for world hegemony. At that time, with the strength of Xinhua, it will be enough to fight against Britain in an all-out way.

After the Xinhua Army took Singapore, Major General Sun Hao immediately sent a message to Manila. He knew that King Long Yufei was also a military and political minister, and he was still waiting for his good news. Although after the victory of the Navy, the victory has been basically laid.

On the evening of 25 July, the Military Intelligence Agency received a message from Singapore. The British Governor of the Straits Settlements, Bonham surrendered to the Xinhua Army, which had taken control of all of Singapore. Major General Luo Hongtao, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, did not dare to slack off, and rushed to the palace with the battle report, wanting to report the good news to King Long Yufei as soon as possible.

At that time, Long Yufei was having dinner with Queen Luo Yuhua's mother and son. When the chief of the guard, Li Hu, told him that Major General Luo Hongtao, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, had important news, he could only apologize to Luo Yuhua, and then left the restaurant and went to the study. Long Yufei knew that Major General Luo Hongtao came to him at this time, and it must be the battle in Singapore that had won or lost. He's been waiting for the news these days.

Luo Yuhua knew what Long Yufei was thinking, and he also understood this. Such a big country has to let Long Yufei worry about it. If he didn't understand it again, then Long Yufei would face even more pressure. Luo Yuhua never thought that the pirates on Flying Fish Island would be able to go so far. At the beginning, as the big boss of the pirates of Flying Fish Island, she just hoped that everyone could live a safe and stable life, and no longer have to live that kind of precarious life, and she couldn't tell when she would lose her life. Now it seems that Long Yufei's original promise has all been fulfilled.

"Your Majesty, I just got news from Singapore. General Sun Hao forced the British army in Singapore to surrender. The British Governor of the Straits Settlements, Bonham, has surrendered with his army, and Singapore is in our hands. Major General Luo Hongtao, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, said excitedly.

"The British actually surrendered? Haha, that's great! Long Yufei also laughed. The British surrendered on their own initiative, and that couldn't have been better. This can also effectively reduce the casualties of the Xinhua Army.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Before the British surrendered, we had already surrounded the city of Singapore. The main force of the British is surrounded in the city, and if they do not surrender to us, they will have no choice but to die. The British are greedy for life and afraid of death, and in such a situation, they can only choose to surrender to us and save their lives. Major General Luo Hongtao was a little disdainful of this behavior of the British. The soldiers of the East, who pay attention to the horse leather shroud, regard this as the destination of the soldiers. Even if you know that you are invincible, you will fight to the death to serve the country in order to serve the country. However, Westerners are different, they are more focused on human rights, and when they have done their best, they often choose to surrender in order to save their lives. In their minds, their own lives are the most important thing. As long as you do your best, there is no shame in surrendering.

"What about the casualties among the Chinese in Singapore?" Long Yufei then asked. The hundreds of thousands of Chinese in Singapore have always been what he wants. It's just that because of the strength of the United Kingdom, they didn't dare to attack Singapore. Now, it's finally getting what you wanted.

"Your Majesty, our attack did not cause much damage to the local Chinese. Only a very small number of Chinese were affected by the war. The reason why General Sun Hao adopted the plan to force the British to surrender was for the sake of the vast number of Chinese people. Major General Luo Hongtao said.

"Well, that's good. He told General Sun Hao that it was necessary to properly resettle those Chinese, especially those who were injured by mistake. Long Yufei said. This is not a trivial matter, and if it is not handled well, it will greatly affect the local people's morale.

The news of the Xinhua Army's conquest of Singapore soon spread throughout the country, and the broad masses of the people spontaneously rose up to celebrate this great victory. (To be continued......)
