The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

Strait of Malacca.

The Strait of Malacca is a strait between the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra.The Strait of Malacca runs from southeast to northwest.Its northwest end leads to the Andaman Sea in the Indian Ocean, and its southeast end connects to the South China Sea.The strait is about 080 kilometers long, with a width of 370 kilometers in the northwest and a narrowest point of 37 kilometers in the southeast. It is an international waterway connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean.

At the entrance of the Strait of Malacca, close to the South China Sea, a huge seaport is under intense construction. On the construction site of the seaport, a large number of small Japanese free laborers wearing uniform labor uniforms are working intensely.

On the construction site, a large amount of construction materials such as cement, steel bars, stones, bricks, etc. are piled up like a mountain. On the construction site, many soldiers with live ammunition can be seen. The soldiers are monitoring the work of these little Japanese free laborers.

On the construction site, there are also many engineers and technicians wearing hard hats. These engineers and technicians will provide technical support for the construction of this seaport. [

Looking at this nascent seaport, it has been under construction for some time. As early as the end of October, that is, not long after the Chinese army attacked the Japanese army through the Burma Road on a large scale, construction started here.

Of course, Zhang Yunfei knows the importance of the Strait of Malacca. The Strait of Malacca is also a golden waterway connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean.

In later generations, the Strait of Malacca is now jointly administered by Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.Now that China has become stronger and stronger, the Chinese navy will also frequently enter and exit the Strait of Malacca, and the Chinese army is also fighting in Southeast Asia. This time, Zhang Yunfei will of course take the opportunity to control the Strait of Malacca.

Therefore, not long after China began its large-scale attack on Burma and the Japanese army, the Chinese navy and marines occupied this area, controlled the entrance to the Strait of Malacca, and built a huge seaport here.

When the Chinese army was just starting to build here.The United States also raised objections, but they were strongly rejected by the Chinese side. This was completely necessary to eliminate the Japanese army in Southeast Asia.

The United States is busy fighting in Europe, and this matter is gone. China has started to build here, and brought in a large number of free labor from Japan for construction.

It is not far from Singapore, but Singapore is not yet a nation.In the past, the area around Singapore was under British colonial rule, after the arrival of Little Japan.The Japanese drove off the British troops again.

However, after the Chinese marines landed here, it didn't take long to wipe out all the little devils in this area. Now, the Singapore area is under the control of the Chinese army.

Although Singapore has not yet established a country, it is already very prosperous, because Singapore Port is one of the largest seaports in Southeast Asia, and it is in an important position in the Strait of Malacca.

Singapore's modern history dates back to the early 19th century.At the time, Britain was expanding its presence in India and trade with China.They urgently need to find a port where their ships can berth and repair, so as to gain an advantage in the trade competition with the Dutch.

In late 1818, Governor Raffles established a new trading port at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula.After Raffles landed at the mouth of the Singapore River on January 1819, 1, he found that this place has favorable conditions for developing into a port. The waters here are spacious and rarely affected by storms, and the nearby streams also have abundant water sources to provide clean drinking water for ships.

Initially, Singapore was under the jurisdiction of the colonial authorities of British India.By 1820, Singapore was generating profits for the British Empire. 1824.Singapore's colonial status was further established, 2 new treaties were formally signed, and it became the Straits Settlements in 1826. In 1832, Singapore became the seat of the "government" of the Straits Settlements. April 1867, 4.Formally a Crown Colony of the United Kingdom, administered directly by the Colonial Office in London.By the early 1th century, Singapore had risen from a swampy wasteland to become the seventh largest port in the world.

Britain completely underestimated the Japanese military's combat effectiveness when the Japanese invaded Southeast Asia, until Japan surprised them with an attack on Singapore, a small jewel in the crown of the British Empire.Singapore guards the entrance and exit of the Strait of Malacca, the main shipping route between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, and its special geographical location makes her a must-have for military strategists.As the political and economic center of Britain in Southeast Asia, Japan must take down Singapore to completely drive the British out of Southeast Asia.

Singapore has a dense population of overseas Chinese, and this is the center of the anti-Japanese movement of overseas Chinese in Nanyang.The "Nanyang Overseas Chinese Relief Association for Motherland Refugees" led by Tan Kah Kee mobilized 800 million overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia and raised huge foreign exchange for China during the domestic Anti-Japanese War.Overseas Chinese in Singapore had been hated and crazily retaliated by Japan because they had given great assistance to China in resisting Japan and organized volunteer troops to carry out heroic resistance.

However, now that the Japanese army has been wiped out, on the streets of Singapore, groups of soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms and holding ak-47 assault rifles can be seen from time to time. The soldiers patrol the streets from time to time. To maintain social order, on the other hand, it is to tell everyone that the little devil has been wiped out.

It has been a while since Singapore was liberated, but everyone's enthusiasm for the Chinese army has not faded away, and they are talking about the well-armed, mighty and majestic soldiers from time to time.

In a teahouse on the street, the windows are bright and clean. On a table by the window, three tea drinkers are sitting. These three people are discussing, and the content is still about China and the Chinese army.

"Do you know? At present, earth-shaking changes have taken place in China, and it is completely different from a few years ago."

"It's no wonder, if there is no major change in the country, how can there be such a majestic army? You see, the weapons of those soldiers are obviously several grades better than the [-]-style rifles of the little devils before." [

"That's right, more than a month ago, I saw with my own eyes a soldier who took such a weapon and shot and killed four little devils in one fell swoop."

More than a month ago, the soldiers fought fiercely with the Japanese army in Singapore, and also fought in the urban area. This person just now obviously saw the street fighting.

After chatting for a while, the three of them unknowingly talked about the situation in Singapore.

"Do you know? I heard that Singapore is preparing to establish a country, a country managed by our overseas Chinese."

"Really!" The two people next to him were full of surprise.

The other person nodded triumphantly, proud and proud of his well-informed.

The other two were also happy when they saw that the news was reliable. Although there are a large number of overseas Chinese in Singapore, they were under the colonial rule of the British before and then experienced the cruel rule of the Japanese army. They did not expect that the country would be established.

Thinking of Jianguo, the two were slightly excited. From now on, they are the masters, and they will never live under the rule of others.

However, the two were overwhelmed with excitement, and immediately thought of something, and one of them quickly said, "Will the British agree to our founding?"

"Cut! You don't know that after the little devils in this area were wiped out, the British "government" wanted to take back Singapore, but Zhang Yunfei's "chairman" strongly refused."

Mentioning Zhang Yunfei, the other two people suddenly realized that Zhang Yunfei's image in the world is a hardliner. Even the powerful United States, Zhang Yunfei has never pretended to be "faceless", not to mention the United Kingdom, which has been mired in the quagmire of war and basically can only protect itself. up.

In the past, it was true that Singapore was a British colony, but it is definitely not now.

Most of the overseas Chinese in Singapore didn’t know about it, and even this person just now knew a little bit about it. After the Japanese army in Singapore was wiped out, Britain declared Singapore to be a colony directly under its jurisdiction.

Even some remaining British troops scattered in the Malay Peninsula wanted to return to Singapore, but the Chinese "government" quickly made it clear through diplomatic channels that Singapore is now under the control of the Chinese army, and all foreign troops entering the vicinity of Singapore will be Give all the news.

Although Singapore is important, China's military strength is now very strong, and Britain absolutely does not want to establish a strong enemy anymore, and the British "government" will immediately succumb to it.

Thailand.

There are large tracts of tropical and subtropical rainforests here, and the dense and windy tropical rainforest is very humid. Although it is December, it is still relatively hot because it is close to the equator.

The sultry and humid tropical rainforest is full of dangers, not only a large number of poisonous plants, but also a large number of deadly dangerous animals, even a small insect can kill a person.

It was in such a tropical rain forest that there was actually a group of three to four hundred Japanese soldiers marching. However, from the tattered military uniforms worn by this Japanese army, it can be seen that this is a fleeing army.

This is indeed a remnant unit of the Japanese army, a field infantry brigade of more than 1000 people, and now only these three or 400 people are left.

The Chinese army is already attacking Thailand. Several big cities in Thailand are under the control of the Chinese army. This little devil is also a defeated army. After more than 100 people were wiped out by the Chinese army in the battle a few days ago, this army Actually escaped into the nearby rainforest. [

As China aggressively attacked Thailand, the Japanese army in Thailand was defeated like a mountain. Some little devils were wiped out, some surrendered, and some became deserters. Not long after the exchange of fire with the Chinese army, they fled one after another, and many little devils fled into the country. In such a rainforest.
