Chapter 257: The Arrangement of Xinjiapo
Woody pondered for a long time, frowned and said: "Mr. Li, I think the map may not be a big problem, there is no naked map marked with military conditions, it should be able to be bought, the price is just more expensive." Transport planes are not easy to manage, and now everything related to the war in the United States is requisitioned, and it is difficult to buy them without a license. Other problems are not big, and incendiary bombs are not big problems! ”
"How many transport planes are there in airlines now?"
"The airline planes that are united with the British have been jointly requisitioned by the US and UK governments. There are only four transport planes with the joint company in Portugal, and the performance is not bad, the same as what you are using now. 8 planes can transport 120 tons a day, which is not less! Oh, maybe only 100 tons and limited space! ”
"How many airlines have passenger planes? If it doesn't work, we'll hire a passenger plane, remove the seats and transport food! ”
"There are a total of 12 passenger planes, with regular flights. There are only two maneuvering, and the others they will not agree, and it is estimated that the passenger plane can not transport 4 tons of grain at a time, which is not of great significance. In addition, Tingjiang Airport may not let us transport these. ”
"Yes! Let's pay for another airstrip in Tingjiang, negotiate with Chennault, build it in their name, and then we can hand it over or donate it to the U.S. Air Force Volunteer Corps. ”
"Good! I'll go find him right away! It's the dry season, and it's still too late to hurry. When it comes to the rainy season, it's troublesome. ”
"That's good! I will go to Xinjiapo tomorrow and Lisbon the day after tomorrow, where we will meet Comrade Lao Ge together. By the way, do we still have any unpaid rubber payments for Xinjiapo? ”
"Okay, I'll telegraph them to inform them that you'll be there tomorrow. There should be a lot of payment, normally it is a quarterly settlement, and it takes a month to settle the general settlement, and now there is about a quarter of rubber payment to be paid. ”
"Find some excuses and don't pay to Xinjiapo for the time being. When is the payment, just listen to my notification! Because the Japanese are going to Southeast Asia, we can't let them take the money! ”
"Got it!"
After breakfast the next day, we quickly set off for Xinjiapo. I told Dalia that we will come back in a month, and you can go to see some scenic spots in India Gate and Elephanta Caves.
The ones who came to greet were cousins Li Dawei and Zhang Ashui, no matter how you look at it now, they are all blessed, and the one who introduced them is also their cousin, named Li Darui, who is now the commander of the Xinjiapo guerrillas. After the pleasantries, the cousin asked, "Shall we go to the manor or to the city?" ”
"Let's go to the manor of the rich manor! It's a little more secluded there. ”
Zhang Ashui's concubine held the child and stood at the door to greet her. The child looks almost two years old, and he looks chubby and cute, thinking that he hasn't been to Xinjiapo for a long time. I slapped my own slap to attract the child's attention, and took out a piece of chocolate and shook it. Fortunately, it's past the age of recognition. If there's a good one, follow along! Carrying the child into the living room.
While teasing the child, he asked, "When will Mr. Zhang go to the United States to see his daughter?" ”
"Alas! Madame is angry and doesn't come back, how can I ....... ”
"Haha, people are afraid of meeting, put this fat boy in Mrs. 's hand, and all problems are solved. Contradictions are all afraid of accumulation, and the later things go, the more difficult it will be! ”
"Yes! And Mr. Li to make peace! ”
"Good! It just so happened that I went to the United States this time, and things were done together. Take Mrs. Ru, I don't think it's good to take the United States, buy a villa and settle it when I pass through Lisbon. Take all your current bank deposits with you, and give them all to your wife! When I get to the United States, I'll ask Mr. Woody to pay you in advance. ”
Zhang Ashui pondered for a long time before saying, "Okay, just listen to Mr. Li, it's really not good if things drag on any longer!" When is Mr. Lee going to leave? ”
"Today I arrange things, and tomorrow I will go. You hurry up and make arrangements, you have to live in the United States for a while, and it is expected that your return will be four months later. Business matters you are not here without delay! Let's have a simple meal, you arrange yours, and I'll talk to my cousin about things. ”
After lunch, I borrowed Zhang Ashui's study to talk about the situation with my two cousins.
"Brother Rui, let's talk about the situation of the guerrillas!"
Brother Rui gave a detailed account of the composition of the team, the situation of officers, training, and the preparation of weapons and ammunition. Finally, he said: "Instructor, now there are 100 scouts, more than 500 with better training, and more than 3,000 at the level of the militia. At present, the total number of troops can reach 3,800 people, and if mobilized, it can exceed 10,000 people! There are 10 secret camps, and the supplies are enough for 10,000 people to live for about a year! ”
"What about arming elsewhere?"
"There is a team called the 'Overseas Chinese Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army', about three or four thousand people, and one of the leaders is still a communist! It is mainly made up of overseas Chinese, with a small number of Malays. The relationship with our team is not very good, mainly because there are some contradictions when fighting for soldiers! It's not a big problem, Cousin Wei has a good relationship with them and often sponsors them. ”
He nodded and said, "I came to Xinjiapo this time, mainly for the two of you. Now it is basically certain that the Japanese will inevitably attack Southeast Asia, and Xinjiapo is located at the choke point of the sea, and the Japanese will not let it go. Seeing that the two of them were nervous, he continued: "The time judgment is about January to February next year. The judgment of strength is that it is impossible for the British to hold here. ”
Cousin Wei asked, "What should we do?" ”
"It's divided into two parts. Brother Wei will close all business here at the end of this year, and by mid-January next year at the latest, and remit all the money to other places. Evacuate all employees and their families in batches to Macau, Mumbai, Australia, New Zealand or Portugal, which is closer to Australia, and we have an arsenal there, where you can organise immigration issues through Mr. Woody. With the brutal nature of Japanese devils, it is not uncommon to retaliate and kill people here. Brother Wei also tried his best to persuade those overseas Chinese who donated a lot to China's anti-Japanese war and worked as civil servants in the government to leave Xinjiapo. In addition, after Zhang Ashui and I left, we sold everything he could sell, and not the house, rubber plantation and land! His employees and their families were taken away. ”
"I remembered. It may be difficult to persuade them now, and now the entire Xinjiapo is still singing and dancing. ”
"We did our best, and we were at ease. Brother Rui here, things are complicated. To organize resistance to the Japanese here! ”
"Instructor! This is the most important thing I should do! ”
"The people we brought from China, give them a chance to choose, and if they really don't want to, send them to India!"
"Okay, I'll arrange!"
"One is that you are fully prepared for war from now on, I have prepared some supplies, and Mr. Woody will arrange to send them. Here's the list! "Hand it to Cousin Wei." Build a few more secret camps to be your last stand. We will increase our grain reserves and strive to be able to meet the needs of two years. When war breaks out, grain production will inevitably be drastically reduced, and you will soon have enough to eat, and the common people will not be able to ignore it. The first principle of war is to save yourself and fight the enemy! ”
"Instructor, understood!"
"We have always taken the route of elite soldiers, and you have no practical experience in fighting in large forces. It doesn't matter, we're going to learn about war in the middle of it, so it's okay to keep that in the beginning, and then expand on it when we have basic experience. This time, I brought 100 manuals on jungle warfare, which Ruitang can learn to use according to the actual situation. The team is going to conduct a comprehensive jungle combat training, and the cost is to support you with Brother Wei, if it is missing, notify me. ”
"Brother Wei is here, I still have to support those anti-Japanese volunteers. Money is not a big problem, one of my main purposes of making money is to fight devils! ”
"Okay, I got it."
"There are always good and bad things, and when the Japanese come, they will directly destroy the foundation of British rule. Then when the Japanese fail, the British will be greatly reduced in their rule here, and if Cousin Wei or Cousin Rui have political ambitions, they can establish a Chinese state in Malaysia. It's exciting to think about! How about it, do you have any ideas? If so, I'll do my best to help! has a cousin who is the president, and it is also very face-saving to go out and show off! ”
"I don't have any ideas, how about Cousin Rui?"
"I learned a little bit of the ability to fight, and I don't know anything about politics!"
"If you have a good candidate, you can recommend it to me!"
"Cousin Fang Wu can be his own!"
"Brother Wei, you know that I don't even bother to take care of you, how can I take care of so many people? Okay, that's it, let's talk about it when you have a problem. I'm leaving for the U.S. tomorrow and expect to be back in India at the end of the year for a phase. ”
