Singapore, formerly the Viceroyalty of British Malaya.

In the exquisitely decorated conference room, filled with warm colors, a sturdy man dressed in a black embroidered gold-rimmed military attaché uniform with a face like steel parts is reading the headquarters order to a group of dignified generals with black covers on their hands.

"Base Camp Xuanzi No. 18 Order: Xiao Ruhai, the army general and Marquis of Wuping, was in command in the battle to liberate Burma, defeated the enemy, and was awarded the first-class Blue Dragon Medal for meritorious service, and was promoted to field marshal...... He is now relieved of his post as Commander of the Burma Front, and appointed Commander of the Southern Front and Director of Military Administration of the South Seas, commanding the imperial garrisons of Vietnam, the former American Philippines, the former British Malaya, Borneo, and the former Dutch East Indies, and the Prime Minister of the local military districts. After receiving the order, I should return to Beijing as soon as possible, receive the Imperial Marshal's Scepter, and discuss relevant matters in my office. ”

After reading it, the man handed the order to Xiao Ruhai and said casually: "Commander Xiao, please hand over the work to Commander Su as soon as possible, the special plane is already waiting at the airport and can leave at any time." ”

Xiao Ruhai took the paperwork, browsed it for a while, turned his head and asked Deng Jian: "This is what you said about the magic medicine from heaven?" ”

Deng Jian tilted his neck and spread his hands and said, "Not yet?" You are now the Governor of Nanyang. ”

Xiao Ruhai sighed, shook his head slightly, and said, "In this way, there will be no ...... fight."

"Through the operations to pacify Indochina and Burma, the base camp has fully recognized Commander Xiao's command ability, but at this moment, it is even more necessary to give full play to your political and strategic talents, because you are a famous 'Nanyang Tong' in the army, and no one is more suitable than you to lead this arduous project of establishing a new order in Nanyang." The attendant military attaché, Colonel Wu Haisong of the Counsellor Office, who had just arrived from the headquarters of the Southeastern Front in Rabaul, explained in a sonorous tone.

Deng Jian patted Xiao Ruhai's broad and powerful shoulder: "The rear of the three armies is all entrusted to you, you have put things in order in the Inner Nanyang, so that we can attack with peace of mind - do a good job, it's up to you." ”

Xiao Ruhai shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Just let me do it." It sounds like a seat full of oil and water, and I'm afraid I'll be tempted to eat until my belly bursts. ”

The generals laughed together, and when the laughter was a little weaker, Wu Haisong took out three orders from his briefcase: "Please wait a minute, there are other orders next." ”

"Army General Su Xiaoyu, in the battle to liberate the Philippines, defeated the enemy, awarded the third-class Blue Dragon Medal, and was awarded the baron...... He is now relieved of his post as Acting Commander of the Southern Front and appointed Commander of the Burma Front......"

"Army General Yuan Shikai. In the battle to liberate the Malay Peninsula, he was in command of the enemy, defeated the enemy, and was awarded the Order of the Blue Dragon of the Second Class for his meritorious service, and was awarded the title of Viscount...... He is now relieved of his former post as commander of the 1st South China Sea Group and assumed the post of commander of the 12th Army of the Indian Front......"

"Army General Ou Zhixing, in the battle to liberate Borneo and the East Indies, defeated the enemy, and was awarded the Order of the Blue Dragon of the Third Class and made a baron...... He is now relieved of his former post as commander of the 2nd South China Sea Group and assumed the post of commander of the 14th Army of the Indian Front......"

After reading from the script. Wu Haisong handed over the documents to the generals one by one, looked up and added: "What needs to be explained here. In addition to Marshal Xiao, the medals of the above three commanders will be personally awarded by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who will come to inspect the front line later. ”

Xiao Ruhai frowned slightly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming to the front line?" Newlywed Yan'er, why do you have to run around like this......"

"This is His Royal Highness's own will." Wu Haisong pursed the corners of his lips with a smile.

"Okay, today is the Medal Harvest Day, why don't you open two bottles of wine to celebrate?" Deng Jian couldn't wait to propose.

Xiao Ruhai pretended to be unhappy and waved his hand: "How can two bottles of wine be enough?" Where's my reception? ”

Deng Jian shook his head with his fingers and smiled: "You, I know that you will say this - it has been put on the table a long time ago, come and come, you all come to enjoy the light, and wash the dust for Marshal Xiao and this military attendant." ”

The generals arched their hands one after another: "Dare to disobey ...... order"

So Deng Jian pulled up Xiao Ruhai and invited Wu Haisong. He led a group of generals and attachés out of the Governor's Palace, divided into more than ten cars, escorted by a company of horses in the front and rear, and drove to the most prestigious Bukit Timah Hotel in the city.

Deng Xiao and the two naturally shared a car. As soon as Deng Jian got in the car, he put down the sound insulation board between the front and rear seats, and Xiao Ruhai smiled when he saw it: "What?" What other inside information was left for me? ”

Deng Jian took out the bag from his pocket: "It's nothing, get used to it." ”

Xiao Ruhai consciously took out a gold-plated square carved dragon fire machine. The light of the fire flickered twice, and the mellow smell of fine tobacco spread freely.

"Well, the Indian strategy is about to begin." Xiao Ruhai subconsciously wiped the lighter cover with his thumb.

Deng Jian spit out an imperfect smoke ring: "That, the key is in the navy." You should know better than I do that Myanmar's infrastructure is so poor, and with the vast savage mountains on the India-Myanmar border, there is no future for attacking by land. Isn't there still the lessons of the Battle of Imphal on that plane? ”

It is recorded in the history books of another time and space that in 19443 during the Second World War, the Japanese army launched an attack on the British army in Imphal, India, with a division and a division of the Indian National Army with a total of 91,000 troops (including 120,000 people). When they arrived at the Imphal front after a month's rush, the ammunition and ration reserves were about to be exhausted, and the British army had hidden the food in the wilderness, and the Japanese army could not supply the food to the enemy on the spot. Imphal was unable to conquer for a long time, and soon, the Japanese army ran out of ammunition and ran out of food, so they had to feed their hunger with plantain trees, grass roots, and kudzu leaves. Officers and soldiers starved to death in droves, their morale was greatly destroyed, the remnants of the Japanese army broke and fled, with 70,000 casualties, the three divisions participating in the battle were almost crippled, and the Japanese Burma front also collapsed......

Xiao Ruhai nodded: "In this time and space, the current transportation conditions along the Burma-India border are definitely more rubbish than when the Japanese army launched the Battle of Imphal. ”

Deng Jian shook his head: "That can't be attacked, if you work hard, it is likely to repeat the Imphal tragedy of brainless little Japan...... So, the Navy - and the Navy has to rely on the Navy. ”

"And what happened to the Navy? Any news? ”

Deng Jian pretended to smile: "No, you must pay attention to secrecy......"

"Cut, who of us is with whom, keep your size secret - say it quickly! Don't say I've turned my face! ”
