Chapter 455: Indigenous Revolt

After Qin Shou announced the official launch of the expansion of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, the conscription work began immediately. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Recruiting stations have been set up in major Chinese-populated cities in Siam and in migrant settlements in Myanmar.

A large number of Chinese young people enthusiastically signed up and wanted to join the army.

Although, the Chinese have always had the concept that good iron does not hit nails, and good men should not be soldiers. However, that was in ancient times. In the face of the invasion of the Japanese * themselves and the danger of the nation, all bloody Chinese should take up arms to resist the invasion of the Japanese * themselves.

What's more, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is still a force that protects the interests of the vast number of Chinese. It is also an invincible force on the battlefield. Under such circumstances, everyone is naturally willing to join the army.

In addition, the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will also be well taken care of by their families after enlistment. Not only will you get a certain amount of land. It is also possible to exempt some of the taxes. Once there are casualties on the battlefield, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will also provide compensation. There will never be a situation where heroes bleed on the battlefield and their families shed tears in the rear. This has changed everyone's perception of the military.

In addition to the expansion of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army into a regular army, the Siam junta also recruited police and security forces. When the troops of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army fought abroad, local law and order, as well as the suppression of indigenous people, had to be done by the police and security forces. Therefore, more youth need to be recruited. These security forces, albeit local, are armed only with light weapons. However, in terms of training, it will still be strictly enforced. In this case, once the main force needs to be replenished, these security forces can be directly merged into the main force, which can be said to be a complete matter of killing two birds with one stone.

Given the large number of natives in Siam, and also hostile to the Japanese National Salvation Army and the Chinese. Therefore, Qin Shou planned to form 6 brigades of security forces in Siam. In this case, in the event of an indigenous rebellion or riot, the security forces can simply suppress them. Even these security forces are not equipped with heavy weapons. However, light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers, as well as mortars, were still a little armed. It was even armed with a certain number of infantry guns. Dealing with those natives is completely hand-to-hand.

To expand the army, it is undoubtedly necessary to have a large amount of weapons and equipment. Qin Shou had a special meeting with Lieutenant Colonel Steven.

"Steven, this is the first trophy we got in Siam. I've already converted your cheque to Citibank. Qin Shou smiled and handed a check to Lieutenant Colonel Steven.

Lieutenant Colonel Steven was overjoyed to see the many zeros on the check. After looking at the amount, a piece of paper cracked. That's three million dollars! Moreover, what Qin Shou said was just the first batch. As the loot obtained by the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in Siam is gradually counted, then there will definitely be a second batch or even more. This made Lieutenant Colonel Steven very satisfied.

"Qin, you are so polite. We're friends. There is no need for these imaginary things. Lieutenant Colonel Steven smiled. However, the speed of receiving the check is not slow at all. After all, that's millions of dollars!

Now, Lieutenant Colonel Steven has no regrets about his original choice. He even thinks that he can earn tens of millions of dollars in this war. You know, in this era, you can already be considered super-rich.

"Steven, I've given the order to get ready for expansion. But, you know. The expansion requires not only people, but also a large number of weapons and equipment. In terms of soldiers, we have already started recruiting. That's not a big deal. However, in terms of weapons and equipment, we need more support from the US government. Qin Shou directly explained his intentions.

"Qin, there's no problem with that. It's a good thing that you want to expand your army. And, General Stilwell already knew, and he was very much in favor of it. I'll type a report right away. I believe that soon, the weapons and equipment you need will be delivered. Lieutenant Colonel Steven assured. Since he has collected so much money, he naturally has to do something. Otherwise, how could he expect Qin Shou to continue to send him money?

Qin Shou nodded, in this case, it would naturally be the best. Although, the military factory in Myanmar, has already been built and has already begun to be put into production. However, in the case that other supporting facilities have not been completed, the output is very small. Therefore, the weapons and equipment needed for the expansion of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army still need to be obtained from the Americans. It is estimated that it will not be until the end of the year or even next year that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will be able to manufacture more weapons and equipment on its own, so as to gradually get rid of its dependence on the United States.

The units of the 1st Army of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army are marching to the entire territory of Siam in battalion and company units to ensure the occupation of the entire territory of Siam by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. However, Qin Shou knew that those Siamese natives would definitely be very dissatisfied with the overthrow of their country and government. As a result, there will certainly be a rebellion against the Japanese National Salvation Army. It's almost inevitable.

Qin Shou didn't care about this either. He had already ordered the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to get ready. As long as these Siamese natives dare to resist, then the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will dare to suppress it. Even if the heads of the people killed are rolling and the blood is flowing like a river, as long as these Siamese natives can be completely killed, they will be killed until they have to submit. In this way, the rule of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army and the vast number of Chinese in Siam could be truly established.

In the north of Siam, this is a place where the power of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army cannot reach for the time being. At the same time, it is also a place where Siam's economic conditions are relatively poor. The so-called poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, which is exactly this reason.

After the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army marched across Siam and the junta ordered the confiscation of all Siamese natives' land, mines and other property, the natives expressed fierce resistance.

In Chiang Mai, north of Siam, thousands of indigenous people, led by a man called Piji, conquered the entire city. They occupied the city government, looted the shops and property of the Chinese, and even humiliated and massacred many Chinese.

Under their demagogy, tens of thousands of people quickly gathered. These Siamese natives played the slogan of driving out the anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, welcoming back the Siamese king, and rebuilding the country. Call on all the Siamese people to take action, kill all the Chinese, and establish a country that belongs only to them.

The rebellion led by Piji quickly ignited the flames of resistance against the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army throughout northern Siam. Everywhere there were armies made up of these Siamese natives. Of course, most people just want to fish in troubled waters. And this also gave Qin Shou and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army an excuse to kill.
