"From now on, you are Zhang San!"

The moment he put on his military uniform again, Zhang San said silently.

"Eldest brother, second brother, I am going to the hometown of the Japanese devils to avenge you..."

Once again, Zhang San's mind flashed back to the days when the family was together in the past, and the scene where the eldest brother held him with one hand and held his intestines with the other, running desperately into the mountains.

It seems that I saw the village that was burned down by a fire again...

But today, he didn't cry.

There was even a smile on his face, because he was going to Japan with the team.

We must return to them ten times and a hundred times what little Japan has done.

It was not only him who went to Japan, but also many people, many of whom had blood feuds like him. For them, the $20 military pay was not important at all. What was important was that they could go to Japan.

I can go to Japan to avenge my family!

Among these people, Watanabe's mood is the most complicated. Finally, he can return to Japan!

He didn't have to wait a few years, but this time he returned to Japan not as a Japanese, but as an invader. This feeling was really uncomfortable!

What made him even more uncomfortable was the order issued by the army. It was said that the order was issued from the Chief's Office.

"Japanese pirates are fearful of power but not moral. The atrocities they committed during the war are too numerous to describe. Their behavior is even worse than that of an animal. Treating animals with kindness, righteousness, and morality is a new crime! The sage said that it is straightforward. Report grievances, repay kindness with kindness, and treat animals the way animals should be treated..."

Although there was no written order, Watanabe almost woke up from nightmares just by the words spoken by his superior during training.

When they arrive in Japan, Japan will suffer!

God bless, but we must let Japan surrender quickly. These people... must take revenge!

What makes Watanabe even more tired is that he has to think about the future with everyone every day, imagining the scenes of horses trampling Japan in the future and killing all the little Japanese.

I have to say...it's pretty fucking exciting!

While Watanabe and tens of thousands of newly recruited soldiers are training in the camp for next year's expedition, domestic recruits are also arriving in Kota Kinabalu by boat in a steady stream. Officers are needed to form an army. Where do the officers come from?

Of course they came from Europe. After all, the personnel on the search team had always been trained as officers. So a piece of paper ordered the search team members, who were countless newlyweds, to say goodbye to Germany, the Netherlands and other countries, and leave Europe with their wives, heading for the unknown Borneo.

They are undoubtedly unfamiliar with Borneo. What does that land look like? Everyone is looking forward to and curious.

……

Borneo in October 45... was a big construction site.

More than 200,000 reclamation workers from North Borneo to Sarawak have turned patches of virgin rainforest into fertile fields. Oil palm seeds shipped from West Africa are cultivated into saplings in nurseries, and then transplanted to the fields after they are grown. Before that, the cultivated fields would not be left idle and were planted with rice.

From Sandakan to Kuching, and even cities with ports, including Balikpapan, are also undergoing large-scale construction projects. Industrial parks are rising one after another. Although the factory buildings are still under construction, no one doubts that , in just a few years, a large number of factories will be erected here.

At the port, a large number of immigrants arrive in Sandakan or Kuching every day. Although the labor force is still tight, the situation has improved a lot compared to a few months ago.

On October 10, the first second-generation immigrant was born in the obstetrics department of Jimin Hospital in Sandakan, accompanied by the sound of a baby crying. The Nanyang Times in Borneo also made a special report on this.

Although there were families of employees giving birth to children one after another before this, the first batch of immigrants arrived here less than three months ago.

It means a lot to Borneo.     What will the child need after birth?

School is needed!

Although during the reconstruction of Sandakan, the local Chinese school was the first batch of reconstruction projects and had been put into use long ago, it still needs a series of infrastructure such as nurseries and kindergartens.

Everything is for the sake of the children... This seems to be the gene in the blood of the Chinese nation. It is correct, but also full of tragedy. The poverty and backwardness of the past century has brought psychological trauma to the Chinese people, who are all pursuing the best things for future generations.

This is true whether rich or poor.

As a leader or planner, Li Yian also has the same idea.

"Not just schools and libraries, these children need a home! A real home!"

In the spacious hall of the Planning Department, I looked at the large planning sand table in Sandakan. A large number of modern buildings are planned in the coastal city center. Although the city's planning is very reasonable and spectacular, from an architectural aesthetic point of view, it is definitely affected by The influence of the Third Reich, such as the extensive use of stone, was a major feature of Nazi architecture - most public buildings were constructed of pure stone.

In order to balance the influence of San Dezi aesthetics, Li Yi'an specially invited a group of architectural designers from China. After all, the city in his heart should be oriental, not San Dezi style.

However, Li Yian did not want to discuss these buildings with them today, but the simplest topic - home.

“So far, among the 7 batches of immigrants, there have been 10 family immigrants, mainly husband and wife. Now, without exception, they all live in the couple’s houses we provide. However, the couple’s house is only a temporary transition. As a responsible person, Government, we need to provide a home for all!”

This seemingly simple sentence made Otto and other German architects' eyes light up. In fact, the Third Reich also planned national residences, but because high-level officials preferred to build public buildings that could reflect the powerful impact of the Third Reich and the war. , the national housing is still in the planning stage.

"Sir, when we were in Germany, we planned national housing. In the urban planned residential areas, we have designed corresponding apartments..."

Otto just introduced the apartment they designed here, and Li Yian interrupted them and said.

“When it comes to designing apartments, I’m better than you!”

This is not bragging. I have never eaten pork, but I have always seen pigs walking. Li Yi'an, who worked in a sales department for several months in college, doesn't know much about multi-story apartments and communities. He just draws it casually. It can make them astonishing and astonishing. After all, it is a design that has been tested by the market for decades.

"How much concrete and steel is used per square meter to build a multi-storey apartment? In terms of steel, at least 40 kilograms of steel are needed per square meter. Calculated based on 125 square meters per household, just steel requires 5 tons of steel. Based on the current standard of 50 households, tons of steel alone are needed, and our steel and cement need to be imported! Steel and cement must be used first in factories and large public buildings."

Any architecture must give way to reality, and Li Yi'an knows this better than anyone. The reality is that steel plants and cement plants in Borneo are currently under construction. Before they are put into production, steel and cement can only be imported.

"So multi-storey apartments are not suitable for Borneo, or in other words, they are not suitable for Borneo now. At least in the next ten years or so, residential buildings in Borneo must follow one principle, which is to use local materials, such as wood."

Pointing to this hall built of wooden boards, Li Yi'an said that except for schools and factories, most buildings in Borneo now use wood as raw materials.

"There is almost inexhaustible wood in Borneo, so I would like to ask you to design a wooden house. This kind of house should have a living room, a dining room, a separate bathroom, and at least 6 bedrooms. , because in the future Borneo, a family should have at least five children. In order to save land, it should be two-story, and the area of ​​each bedroom should not be less than 10 square meters..."

While Li Yian was describing his idea, he drew a sketch with a pen. It looked a bit like an American two-story house with a small pitched roof in the movie.

"Well, every family should have their own courtyard, front yard and backyard. It doesn't necessarily need to be big, but it should be there so that the children can have space to play. The front yard should be open and the children can be free of playing with the neighbor’s children…”

In fact, Li Yi'an's description and plan are not just about a house, but a way of life. This way of life is not about cramming people into crowded pigeon cages, enduring the noise on the roof, the quarrels between neighbors, and closing the security door. Then there was the indifference between neighbors.

Of course, the more important thing is that whether people have no space for activities or children have no space to play, even in a community, how many children will run to the community to play after returning home to finish their homework?

Distance, time get in the way.

The best playground for children is the yard in front of and behind the house.

This kind of lifestyle is exactly what Li Yi'an yearns for, and what he longs to give to those children - to give them the best, not just in words.
