Chapter 287 The Pattern Opens

But this matter cannot be Gao Jianwu's wishful thinking alone. In Southeast Asia, he is not in charge.

In charge here is the Allied Southeast Asia Theater Command, the most important of which is General Joe Stevens.

It's just that Gao Jianwu didn't establish a direct relationship with General Joe, so he had to find his old acquaintance, Colonel Smith, who is now very enthusiastic about the expeditionary force group.

"John, look, we have a new plan, which is to start from the south of Myanmar and Britain, directly insert into Siam, eliminate the little devils in Siam, and then penetrate along the Malay Peninsula, with the help of the Allied Navy. Take Sumatra.

On the one hand, it is to bring back the oil fields in Sumatra to cut off the oil supply of the little devils, and on the other hand, it also creates conditions for the Allied forces to control the Strait of Malacca!
Through this new battle, we can completely divide the Little Devils Southern Army into several parts on the peninsula and the Dutch East Indies. "

Gao Jianwu called Colonel Smith and simply drew a line on the map for his marching route plan. Such an obvious trend, of course, allowed Smith to quickly understand his fighting intentions.

"High, I have to say that your efficiency is really high. You have just calmed down the Burmese and British territories, and now you are planning for the next phase of combat missions. Your new plan is also great, and I completely agree." Colonel Smith looked at it. After nodding frequently, he said happily.

For him, the greater the results of the expeditionary force cluster, the greater his contribution. At the same time, for the Allied Forces, this is also a crucial step for the recovery of the entire Southeast Asia.

What's even more rare is that Gao Jianwu himself proposed it this time.

"Gao, I have a piece of good news for you. It is estimated that within a few days, my promotion certificate for major general will be announced. I very much hope to share this good news with you." Colonel Smith looked at Gao Jianwu and said seriously.

"I am very grateful to the expeditionary army group for bringing me this honor, and I will continue to fight with the expeditionary army group."

"Great, John, this is really great news, really, all of us will be happy and blessed for you, you are a real soldier, and the expeditionary force group is also very happy in the past battle With such a strong comrade in arms like you!
If you don't object, we'll throw a big party for you to celebrate. "Gao Jianwu was taken aback when he heard the news, but he was really happy for Smith in an instant.

Frankly speaking, it is a great thing for the expeditionary army group that Colonel Smith can be promoted one step higher, but Gao Jianwu does not know whether he will leave after this promotion.

"However, John, no matter how high you get promoted, you are still my comrade-in-arms, right? We will fight side by side until we drive the little devil out of Nanyang, right?" Gao Jianwu asked.

"For the expeditionary army group, we cannot do without you."

"Of course, I still stay in the expeditionary force group. This time I will serve as your chief of staff. I don't think you will object to this appointment." Colonel Smith said with blinking eyes.

"Of course, John, my Chief of Staff, you are welcome to join the expeditionary army group!" Gao Jianwu said in a slightly exaggerated tone.

In the battle in the Burmese-British Territory, although Colonel Smith only fought once and shot down two Japanese fighter jets, his role was no worse than that of an attack group.

The ability of the expeditionary force group to obtain such good weapons is inseparable from Colonel Smith's efforts to fight for it at the Allied Southeast Asia Command.

Of course, the inclinations of General Joe, the deputy commander of Allied Southeast Asia Command, are also crucial.It was these two people who worked closely together and worked hard for Gao Jianwu's Second Theater Expeditionary Army Group to obtain equipment comparable to the main force of the beautiful country.

But Gao Jianwu is worthy of their trust.With the assistance they provided, nearly 10 divisions of the little devils have been wiped out.

In the entire Asian theater, this is the only illustrious military exploit.

Because of this, whether it is Colonel Smith or General Joe Steven, they have each been promoted to a level because of such outstanding military exploits.

Because of Gao Jianwu, at least 10 casualties were reduced for the beautiful country.

Gao Jianwu's huge victory in the Burmese and British territories not only restrained the Southern Army's troops to directly support the Pacific battlefield, but also re-opened the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway, which provided the possibility for large-scale aid to enter the interior and greatly supported the improvement of the interior battlefield.

Such a great feat, even commanding an elite army of 10 beautiful countries, may not necessarily be able to achieve it.But Colonel Smith and General Joe did it with some material assistance, which is enough to show that their work was fruitful.

Getting high scores in the top management of the beautiful country directly reflects the promotion of the two of them.

Gao Jianwu didn't care about these things. Of course, it was a great thing for his old friend Smith to be promoted.Therefore, there is no obstacle for Gao Jianwu to say that Smith was installed as the chief of staff of the expeditionary force group.

After all, they have cultivated a tacit understanding in the past battles.

What can be done and what can't be done, Smith has long been clear, the boundaries between the two sides are very clear, and it is completely acceptable to Smith, what Gao Jianwu is doing is itself a thing that is beneficial to all parties, except Dai Ying and the little devil.

But Daiying's interests have nothing to do with him, Smith, it's good that the beautiful country can make a profit.

Not to mention, Smith can still hold this qualification, and he has more room for development in his future promotion. It can be said that it is an excellent thing to improve the situation with the country, himself, and the entire theater.

If this matter can clear some obstacles for the empire to enter the local market in the future, it will be icing on the cake.Apparently the magical Gao in the East can do both things very well for him.

Compared with some officers of the Central Army, Gao Jianwu is simply a clear stream, which even Smith admires.Whether it was the equal and harmonious relationship between officers and soldiers, or the united battle, the unprecedentedly powerful combat power, the Second Theater Expeditionary Force cluster fascinated Smith a little.

Frankly speaking, he enjoyed spending time with these pure expeditionary officers and soldiers very much. This is the real army, with no embezzlement, no crooked ways and a smoky atmosphere.

Here they have the same goal, and they treat each other with sincerity, and they are both people who can rest assured that they will leave their backs to each other on the battlefield.

With the relationship of Colonel Smith, Gao Jianwu's new plan was quickly approved by the Allied Southeast Asia Command.

In the words of later generations, after all, the Allied Southeast Asia Command is also striving for performance, and Gao Jianwu jumped out to take the initiative to charge, so who would object?

General Lemon Patton is not so stupid!
This time, the six major attack groups, except for leaving a part of the main battalion to continue guarding to protect Gao Jianwu's interests, the entire army of the main attack group was dispatched.

They rushed into Siam along the border of the colony. Relying on the prestige of the expeditionary army group, the little devils were not strong enough to garrison in Siam. Under the order of the Southern Army Headquarters, these little devils retreated without a fight.

It retreated directly to the vicinity of Phnom Penh in French Indochina.

The Siamese dynasty trembled, and quickly made a decision with the little devil, and returned to the allied forces.

This time Siam itself was not Gao Jianwu's target, so he didn't stay in Siam at all. After the dynasty here surrendered, Gao Jianwu couldn't wait for the allied troops with the British to catch up, so he directly handed over this place to them to find a way to contact .

It's just that no one noticed this time that when Gao Jianwu and the others attacked south, there were hundreds of thousands of workers from Siam providing them with logistical assistance and entering the Malay Peninsula together.

And these Chinese don't know that they will not come back after this trip, and there is a better place waiting for them to build.

Huang Qingyuan and the others not only agreed verbally, but in action, they have already started to move!

Once these big families take action, the resources they can use are also very scary.

With the help of development projects in Malaysia one by one, they quickly mobilized a large number of Chinese teams in Siam.

There are not many of these projects out of thin air. In fact, they have already made some plans, but without the cooperation of external conditions, they dare not spend a lot of investment.

Now they have seen Gao Jianwu's powerful power and his determination to completely transform this piece of land.So these big families also placed their bets on Gao Jianwu.

Almost at the same time, Ding Wei, who was deliberately left in Mawlamyine, started his hard work again.

This time he was more concerned than before, because compared with the local sand mixed in Myanmar and Britain, the new mission goal Gao Jianwu gave him this time was more ambitious.

Of course, the prospect of this work is also broader. Although the land of China is still riddled with holes, Ding Wei, like Gao Jianwu, sees the hope and limitations of China's future development.

Regarding the Strait of Malacca, although Ding Wei did not know that it would become the busiest waterway in the world in the future, it is not difficult to guess its importance to the future of China from his overall perspective.

After all, there are two major directions for China to communicate with the outside world in the future, one to the east and the other to the west.As long as it is westward, there is no one that does not pass through this channel and nearby ports.

Now Gao Jianwu wants to control this place in the hands of the people he supported. For Ding Wei, that is of course a very important thing. It can even be said that there is no other thing more important than this right now.

Now this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Ding Wei knew, once he missed it, he would never have it again.When the western powers were at their weakest here, Gao Jianwu and the others were able to appear, which is definitely an opportunity that cannot be replicated.

Moreover, Gao Jianwu vaguely revealed some things to him, because he also began to understand that a new pattern will emerge in the world after the war, which is almost inevitable.

Although Gao Jianwu can't disclose to Ding Wei that the colonies here will move towards independence one by one in the future, it's still early to tell these news, but Ding Wei has already discovered some things.

For example, the independent tendencies of the Burmese and British territories are becoming stronger and stronger. With this wave of their efforts, Ding Wei estimates that it will not be long, perhaps in a few years, it will really become a reality.

The New Home People's Party, the New Home Freedom Army, and the New Home Freedom Front, three new organizations were born in Mawlamyine, and a full 3000 elites from big families began to gather here from different places.

According to Gao Jianwu's conception, in the future there will basically be a model where the People's Party and the Freedom Front take turns taking turns. Since it is a sensitive area of ​​the big powers, Gao Jianwu has to be careful not to let unnecessary things interfere with the overall situation. What he wants is there To be able to coordinate with Shenzhou, instead of thinking about some unrealistic things.

Originally, Ding Wei's scalp felt numb for such a major issue. Fortunately, Gao Jianwu had foreseen all this a long time ago, and directly communicated with the border area, and sent a new Nanyang working group to fly directly through the transport plane of the Allied forces. Dagon.

With their help, Ding Wei quickly put everything on the right track.

When Gao Jianwu's plan was sent to those people's desks, except for one person who was calm and composed, the others were so shocked that they couldn't believe their eyesight. Gao Jianwu's actions were really too bold and too advanced.

Facing Gao Jianwu's plan at the beginning, most people were cautious, thinking that it was too risky to win the support of the Allied Forces. They hoped that this matter would be discussed in the long run and not rush forward for the time being.

"We started from nothing, and now we have such an opportunity because of our comrades' hard work.

We are going to make a big bet on the future, so let's make a bet, don't be afraid.Imperialism is a paper tiger, and I think some of us are really intimidated by this tiger. A certain person took a look at everyone, tried his best to reject all opinions, and directly set the final tone for Gao Jianwu's shocking plan.

In fact, after Gao Jianwu jumped out of the circle, he had already made up his mind to do this matter. Whether he could get support or not, he had to try this matter, otherwise he would die with regret.

Fortunately, the organization behind him did not disappoint him. For such a thing, someone's eyes really saw through the fog of history and saw the far, far future.

Allied Southeast Asia Command.

Now they have moved their headquarters to Mandalay, but for Commander-in-Chief Mengbatton, everything that was familiar here seems to be no longer familiar.

The construction of Mandalay, activated by Gao Jianwu, is in full swing. Most people have started to work hard, and the streets are in order.

Faced with such a thriving scene, General Barton should have been happy.But looking at the bustling street outside through the window, General Mengbaton always felt a little out of place.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, Deqin Dengpei is here to visit, would you like to arrange an interview this time?" the attendant knocked on the door softly and came in to report.

It's him, it's him!

General Leon Patton finally found out why he felt out of place.This is the person who came to him repeatedly to discuss the issue of self-government.

If it was in the past, General Meng Patton would not have looked at him at all, but it is different now.From Mandalay to Shanmana and then to Dagon, it is this person who really controls the local organizations.They even organized a sizable army.

What's even more deceitful is that this army is really the Allied Army who fought the little devils together.Now I just want to take some measures against them. On the one hand, it is too big to deal with them. It will take a lot of manpower and material resources to deal with them; on the other hand, I can't find a suitable reason.

Thinking of this, General Barton was full of resentment towards Gao Jianwu.If Gao Jianwu had handed over these places to his people for management, the situation today would not be like this.

But it's too late to say that.

"No see!" Mengbaton wanted to be out of sight and out of mind. The two sides met and communicated several times, but they always broke up unhappy.

But after thinking about it again, I am now inseparable from the cooperation of this person in all aspects of the Burma-British Territory.

Whether it is the eating and drinking of the soldiers, the gathering of logistics support personnel, and road repairs and preparations, the entire British and Indian army suddenly changed from a home game to an away game, requiring the cooperation of the other party.

This is the reason why General Mengbatton felt out of place. It turned out that it required so many troubles, and he gave orders directly. Everything was prepared with him, and there was no need to coordinate and communicate with him.

"Slow down, let's meet and listen to what he wants to say today." Mengbaton pinched his nose and told the attendant to stop.

The entire Malay Peninsula is a long and narrow strip, divided into two main roads, east and west.When Gao Jianwu defeated Siam, part of the main force of the Allied Air Force entered the City of Angels.

Provide air cover for Gao Jianwu's attack, and at the same time completely block the air route of Xiaotian Southern Army's air force that wants to cross Siam's attack on the Burmese and British territories.

Gao Jianwu left most of the main force of the first attack group and the sixth attack group in the City of Angels, and together with the stationed Allied troops, they guarded against the counterattack of the southern army's little devils. After all, there were still six or seven divisions in French Indochina.

Gao Jianwu directly divided the four attack groups including the second attack group into two attack groups, east and west.Pushing all the way along the two sides of the peninsula, with his current strength, it is completely crushing for the weak little devils in the Malay Peninsula.

With the new resource discovery function of the intelligence system, Gao Jianwu was not polite about the large local mineral resources along the way, and he didn't need to explain the source of the news to others. He directly instructed the people brought by these big merchants in Nanyang to occupy them one by one and start mining.

The tens of 10 people following him are not just a decoration, but are really going to play a role in expanding the territory.

It's just that now they are starting to settle down in different places in the Malay Peninsula in the form of mining business.

The discovery of minerals one by one has provided these people with stable jobs. These poor people who are not satisfied with their lives in Siam will soon be happy to settle here and wait for the mining to enter a normal state. These people will live and work more comfortably. After all, according to With Gao Jianwu's mining profit sharing method, these first-generation Chinese miners will have good prospects for development.

These areas will become their future paradise.

It's just that it's still a time of war, and Gao Jianwu doesn't say much, but does it with his heart. With the resource guarantee of these mines, there is no problem with the development of these areas and the improvement of everyone's life.

The entire mine resources will be held under the name of Nanyang Mineral Resources Development Company. This company is controlled by Nanyang Investment and is a huge company with various big families participating in the shares. In the future, Gao Jianwu has the ability to turn resources into the driving force for local development.

Now Gao Jianwu is just occupying first, and armed some personnel in the mine to protect him. He directs the troops to advance continuously. The long and long Malay Peninsula lacks natural defenses, and it is not easy for the little devils to defend. The powerful offensive of the cluster is like a broken bamboo.

Soon, the Southern Army gave up its struggle in the Malay Peninsula and ordered the withdrawal of the remaining main forces in the Malay Peninsula to Sumatra in advance.

The entire Myanmar-British Front Army organized a battle. After the defeat in Mawlamyine, the Southern Army temporarily lost the courage of the Allied Army to fight decisively. Now it has voluntarily abandoned Siam and the Malay Peninsula, and concentrated its efforts to keep French Indochina and Dutch East Indies. Two major cores.

Regarding the current strategic intentions of the Expeditionary Force Group and the Allied Forces, the Confederate Army continued to disagree.But there is one thing they agree on, that is, it is really not suitable for a decisive battle with the Allied forces in the Malay Peninsula.

The extraordinary firepower of the expeditionary force group is really an unsolvable tactic for a place like Malay, which has no strategic depth and no defensive natural dangers.

They didn't have the time or the resources to build a line of defense that could withstand the 155mm heavy artillery.The Air Force has long been taught by the Allied Forces to be a man.

At present, the Fifth Flying Division, the only elite fighter flying team of the Southern Army in the southeast peninsula, is now nestled at Saigon Airport, reserving the last bit of air cover capability for French Indochina.

As for the troops deployed in the Dutch East Indies and other areas of the Pacific Islands, let alone the southern army, it would be good if the base camp did not allow them to continue to reinforce the island's forces.

The biggest hope that the Southern Army can see now is that the reinforcements of the Kwantung Army go south.But now the United Fleet has been dragged by its opponents on the vast battlefield in the Pacific Ocean, and there is no spare power to mobilize the main force of the Kwantung Army to the south by sea.

So the base camp is now planning a new plan to open up the mainland transportation line.

Gao Jianwu didn't know it, because of his sudden birth, the little devil began to formulate the No. 1 battle plan in advance.

Let history take a gentle turn once again.

Gao Jianwu inadvertently created all kinds of internal and external constraints, so that the overall strength of the Southern Army, which is still strong, now faces the attack of the expeditionary army group, and for a while it seems unable to fight back, but passively accepts it.

The little devils who had no fighting intention made the attack groups of the two major expeditionary forces progress rapidly like oil splashed on snow, and captured the entire Malay Peninsula in less than a month.

In Kuala Lumpur (KL/Lumpur for short), when the expeditionary army group was taken down, nearly 100 leaders of Nanyang wealthy merchant families gathered together.

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to what the old man has to say." Huang Qingyuan stood up amidst the noise, knocked on the table and said loudly.

"What Huang told everyone before, if everyone still doubted the authenticity of Huang's words at that time. Then today we have seen the results and the efficiency of the expeditionary army cluster."

"We have already had 18 companies join such a great process before, and we have made a lot of efforts for this great event. Now is the time for everyone to make a decision together. If anyone is unwilling to join such a process today Inside, then please leave quietly."

"What we need is a like-minded partner, not half-hearted. If you really don't want to fight with us. That's okay, as long as we leave now, we will still be friends."

When Huang Qingyuan talked to these people at the beginning, most of them thought that he was joking about a story from the Arabian Nights, a group of businessmen trying to seek the country, which felt incredible.

But now we see a whole new world unfolding in front of everyone.

Now who would dare to say that Huang Qingyuan was joking?

A few seconds of silence in the arena.None of these people here are simple characters.The smallest family among them may have struggled for 40 to [-] years and is worth more than a million dollars.

But even though they are almost all rich people in the local area, because they are in a disadvantaged group, many of these people have been bullied by colonists or even locals, but everyone is good at forbearance, and they all survived.

But it doesn't mean that everyone is satisfied with this state, especially after being rich, whoever wants to be bullied at every turn.

So when Huang Qingyuan told them to build a place where his own people have the final say.They are actually very excited in their hearts, but in such an era, it is not easy to build such a place.

Maybe it will cause trouble and leave a bad record for the local colonists, then it may be possible to ruin the family.

So the only ones who joined this process at the beginning were the families that had a very deep relationship with Huang Qingyuan, Qin Jiafeng and the others.

If this is the case, Huang Qingyuan and the others mobilized 3000 soldiers at the beginning, and then mobilized 10 people from Siam for the large-scale migration on the grounds of mineral development.

"Old Huang, we are all ready to join. I believe that none of the people who are willing to come here will quit." Someone shouted loudly.

"Huang Lao, you can arrange what we should do next."

"Let me ask everyone again, is there anyone who needs to quit now? If so, please go away quietly." Huang Qingyuan asked again.

Everyone shook their heads. None of them would quit. Faced with such a historic and huge opportunity, who would give up?
"Okay, since this is the case, then we will start to distribute the work. First of all, in the two organizations we have established, we need each to choose one to join. Everyone pay attention to maintaining the balance of power, no matter which organization it is, We don't want it to occupy a dominant position." Huang Qingyuan continued.

They now have two start-up organizations, the Freedom Front and the People's Party. Although there are some differences in the program, the highest program speaks for the local Chinese, which can be said to be two sides of the same skin.

Whether the two companies take turns in the future or work together to do things together, it will not make much difference to the local Chinese.

But if other local forces can rise to challenge them, the two must unite to meet the challenge.

Relatively speaking, in terms of the Freedom Army, there is no need to divide into two groups, because a unified defense force must be maintained in the future.

Huang Qingyuan's plan is still relatively rough.To put it simply, each company claims people and contributes money and effort, and then starts a large-scale organization of manpower from other places, and continuously moves to the target area in the name of commercial development.

According to Gao Jianwu and their plan, this process will eventually be completed, and 2 million Chinese will gather in the target area, accounting for more than half of the local population.

Less than half of the target population now lives here, so it's not a hugely ambitious goal that's easy to achieve, but it's not something that can be done in a day, either.

This goal can be achieved in a long-term period of 5 to 10 years,
In the early stage, Huang Qingyuan and the others can transfer 200 million in to form their own core basic strength, then this matter can be continuously promoted.

Gao Jianwu didn't pay attention to the details of how to operate these things.On the one hand, he has no experience in this area, and on the other hand, Gao Jianwu should be a leader in these matters, just grasp the direction.

The specific operation still needs to be carried out by the new professionals of the Nanyang working group.So although there is a lot of work to do, for Gao Jianwu, he only needs to complete one thing, which is to completely knock down this place, and then others will operate it.

It's just that after taking down the Malay Peninsula, Gao Jianwu suddenly found that he had entered an embarrassing period of serious shortage of troops.

To consolidate these newly captured places, it is necessary to maintain a local presence.But there are only so many troops in his hands.Even if it is just to maintain the occupation of important city nodes, the troops in hand cannot be spread out now.

Faced with such a situation, Gao Jianwu himself was a little confused, not knowing what to do next.

It happened that the new Nanyang working group was transferred to Long City to carry out work. Gao Jianwu asked two team leaders for advice.

"Team Leader Ren, Team Leader Chen, I have such a doubt now." Gao Jianwu Balabala finished his confusion.

Team Leader Ren and Team Leader Chen looked at each other and smiled.

"I said Comrade Xiao Gao, you also have moments when you are stumped, haha" Team Leader Ren said with a smile, "Actually, this matter is easy to say, but difficult to say. Think about how you were in Ping An, in Dagushan opened up a base area, now according to this method, it will be fine if you continue to come one more time."

Open up a base here?Gao Jianwu didn't turn his head around the corner, and looked at the two team leaders in confusion.

Is it possible to establish a base here?

 I was dizzy yesterday, there were a lot of problems in the update, and it has been revised. You can review the subscribed iron juice. The base is almost torn apart.
