Chapter 208 208 PLA withdraws
As soon as the Battle of Johor Bahru ended, Qi Yiming convened a summary meeting of the members of the Central Decision-making Committee of the Southern Liberation Army. Although the Battle of Johor Bahru was a great victory on paper, it still exposed some problems that urgently needed to be corrected by the PLA decision-making committee.
Presiding over the meeting was the nominal chairman of the decision-making committee, SPD leader Wang Wuguo, who was himself quite intelligent and capable of learning, and although he was a political novice, he did not appear to be a layman at all, and said: "I think this battle of Johor Bahru shows that although our PLA has an overwhelming advantage in military strength, it is not fully integrated into the local community. To put it mildly, it's like the occupying army. We maintain order in the city by the army, and after the enemy invades, the citizens will still be suspicious of our army, and we do not have enough control over the area, and as soon as the enemy attacks, some of the Malays will follow and cause chaos, which is also quite a problem. ”
"Comrade Wu Guo is reasonable, we should really review our policy of controlling the localities, relying only on military management, there will always be chaos." Taking off the cloak of the CPM, Teo Chung Min, who has become a member of the SPD, also chimed in.
Qi Yiming said: "The administrative system needs time to polish, there are more and more volunteers from the mainland, and we have gradually got the governments of Kuala Lumpur and Penang, and then Johor and Pahang will also be available." I also agree with what Comrade Chairman said, the army is used to fight wars, and being dragged on the streets for public security management is not only overkill, but also inappropriate, but few of our local Chinese have been admitted to the police academy, and it is difficult to pull up a security contingent at one time, and most of the volunteers from the mainland cannot speak English or Malay, let alone do such work. ”
"Building a reliable public security management team is something that needs to be done sooner or later, and although the Chinese in Malaysia are not very keen on eating such a bowl of public food, they should be able to achieve certain results by finding more ways to improve welfare and treatment, and strengthening publicity and appealing work," Lim suggested. In addition, volunteers from the mainland are not completely unable to perform such duties, and they can also do this kind of work by training them in more language skills, and then telling them about local customs and folklore, so as to speed up their familiarization. ”
Qi Yiming nodded, thinking that what Lin Jixiang said made sense, and bowed slightly at Wang Wuguo. Although the chairman of this decision-making committee is nominally the supreme leader, it is basically impossible for him to decide major matters, and Qi Yiming endorses him, so that he can finally issue an order, which is equivalent to him can draft an order, but the order is not stamped with the golden seal of Qi Yiming's control, it will not take effect.
Until the police system in SLA-controlled areas was established, SLA soldiers had to play an alternative role. At this time, it was obvious that only three army brigades had been established, and the strength of more than 10,000 troops was absolutely insufficient.
"For the problem of the shortage of troops, next week we will be able to assemble a new brigade of demobilized fighters recruited from the mainland, and my opinion is that it will still be modeled on the Mountain 03 Brigade and become a mountain force. The terrain of Malaya is mainly mountainous and plain, and transportation is also guaranteed, and the lightly armed troops can be quickly deployed and delivered after being motorized. In addition, the Ma army itself lacks heavy firepower, and it will be impossible to assemble an offensive of four or five thousand men for a while and a half after the Battle of Johor Bahru. Qi Yiming explained to the committee members present that in fact, they didn't know much about military issues, and everything was decided by Qi Yiming with the cooperation of the Red Guard staff.
After the summary meeting, Qi Yiming returned to his residence and happened to meet Ye Yaozi.
"Well, I have something to tell you." Ye Yaozi felt a little twisted today, and unconsciously lowered her head when she spoke, and there seemed to be a flush on her face.
Qi Yiming didn't pay close attention and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Ye Yaozi mustered up the courage and planned to come and tell Qi Yiming what happened a few days ago. She accidentally pulled Jiang Huayan along, Jiang Huayan was embarrassed, hid in Qi Yiming's mansion, and didn't dare to see Qi Yiming. After thinking about it, Ye Yaozi didn't mainly consider the mutation orientation she suddenly discovered, but was worried about how Qi Yiming would deal with him after he found out.
Although she usually dares to say goodbye to Qi Yiming, she also knows that Qi Yiming is not a character to be messed with, plus she saved Jiang Huayan, Qi Yiming is not expected to be too harsh. There is also the mysterious beautiful man who disappeared under the surveillance of the agents of the National Security Bureau after escaping back to Beijing, Ye Yaozi felt that Qi Yiming should be paid more attention.
Ye Yaozi just wanted to speak, a man in a tunic wearing glasses walked over next to him, Ye Yaozi knew him, he was an administrative staff member who came from his country with Qi Yiming, named Mo Xiantong, who was quite important. He said to Qi Yiming: "Commissioner, the news from the South China Sea, Ping Lao is ready to announce to the international community that our official troops are about to withdraw from Malaysia and stop the state of direct war hostilities with Malaysia. ”
Qi Yiming's face changed slightly, and he said, "It's so fast, why didn't you say hello in advance." ”
Ye Yaozi sighed, she probably couldn't talk about what she wanted to say, she said: "This is already a greeting, fortunately, our local volunteer recruitment activities have not stopped, and we can at least recruit more than 50,000 volunteers from all walks of life by the end of the year, these talents are the key to our final victory over the Malay Peninsula." ”
Qi Yiming nodded and said: "It seems that the above has not resisted international pressure, but it is not a big deal, the transformation of the golden cicada into the southern liberation army has been completed, although it is impossible to directly send troops to help, but the materials from the mainland will be delivered to our hands in an endless stream." ”
He turned his head again and asked Mo Xiantong, "In recent days, has there been any change in the international wind direction?" ”
Mo Xiantong replied: "The proposal for the partition of MCA is still struggling in the United Nations General Assembly, because the opposition is too strong, everyone is afraid that after this precedent, other countries will also use similar means to divide the territory and stir up disputes, so even the countries that have a sympathetic attitude towards our local Chinese do not agree to solve the problem by such radical means, and the more mainstream view is still that the international pressure on the Malaysian government to cancel a series of racial discrimination policies such as the fixed strike system, and the Mahathir government has also begun to change its tone after the defeat of Johor Bahru, saying that he is willing to accept the guidance and supervision of the International Human Rights Watch Mission to change the current racial policy. Perhaps it is because of these things that our country can no longer continue to stand on the front line, and our country cannot resist the world alone. ”
Qi Yiming sighed: "You are right, now the country's foundation is thin, the strength is still shallow, for the sake of the Malayan Chinese and the world as enemies, to make a bad image, not only is not good for us to develop diplomatic relations, in terms of traditional culture, we still want to save face." ”
Ye Yaozi couldn't help but complain: "Can face be eaten as a meal?" ”
"That's right, our country has always been like this, and it is unlikely that it will be reversed for a while. Besides, it's almost time for the national army to retreat, and the Southern Liberation has already fledgled and can take charge on its own. ”
Qi Yiming asked again: "Then what does international public opinion think of the Southern Solution?" ”
"Basically, I think that our country is wearing a vest, but in fact it is a puppet regime." Mo Xiantong said.
Qi Yiming smiled and said, "Actually, it's not much wrong. ”
Mo Xiantong said: "Some countries think that if our country wants to withdraw its troops, it should stop all kinds of support for the Yugoslav solution, while the United States and some other countries seem to have a more ambiguous attitude, because this is also a bargaining chip, see which side gives a good price, and they will make profits from it." ”
Ye Yaozi interjected at this time: "Also, don't think that even if the official force is withdrawn, we will be all right." We now have at least three more obvious external enemies, the Arab League, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union. Although Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and other countries do not agree with our approach, they do not think that it is worth fighting each other, and Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and other countries have reacted more strongly, but they are also unable to directly send troops. Britain has always been ruthless, and now that our country's deity has withdrawn, it is difficult to guarantee that Britain will not want to fight the southern solution to vent its anger, and if our country is involved again, it will seem that there is no faith. The last Soviet Union was deliberately causing trouble, and intelligence showed that the Soviet Union had begun to contact the Malaysian government and was ready to arm them with military aid to continue to consume us. As long as it can hurt us and trouble us, the Soviets must do it. ”
"The Arab League is not worried, now they learn to unify their opinions. As for Britain and the Soviet Union, they want to intervene in the situation in Malaya and fight against the Yugoslavia, but I would like it to happen. They think that Nanjie is a puppet and can't be too strong, but they can't understand how much good things I gave Nanjie and how much they can suffer! Qi Yiming laughed darkly, like a weasel who had successfully stolen chickens.
The biggest reason why he was willing to come to Malaysia in the first place was that it was an open battlefield, and the intensity and scale of the war were all under his control, even if Britain and the Soviet Union were two nuclear states. I have pinched the Soviet Union before, and I haven't seen a single hair of the atomic bomb for a long time, and Britain is even more constrained by the United States, and it is impossible to tear too much of China, which is in the same camp.
It is indeed tempting for Britain to want to teach a lesson to the South Solution, to give China a disadvantage, and to calm the situation in Malaysia by the way. Since the 70s, the decline of British influence in Malaysia as a former suzerainty has been very detrimental to their expanding commercial interests in the East, and Malaysia has oil giants such as BP eyeing them. If you help Malaysia to calm the situation, you can't say that you can cut a big cake. Britain, whose international status is declining, hopes to be able to declare the world world with its strengths, although they are no longer the hegemon of the world world, but they are not negligible.
