Chapter 201: Final Order? (11)

On the most prosperous Orchard Road in the city center, Singapore, a white-colored Victorian-style building surrounded by lawns, palm trees and fountains, there is a plaque with white ink ink hanging vertically on the main door of the Victorian-style building with the words "Nanyang Military and Political Supervision Department" written on it: seven big words "Nanyang Military and Political Supervision Department".

Next to the street outside the gate, there were three guard posts, and rickshaws, carriages and sedans were parked, and people kept looking inside.

On both sides of the main hall with huge chandeliers hanging inside the door were filled with various "color" figures waiting to be received: the officials of the East Asian Union with ears and tassels, officials with straight suits and shiny leather shoes, businessmen wearing top hats, gentlemen with civilized sticks, and indigenous princes in bright "Badi" (bati cloth) outfits...

On the west side of the second floor, in a spacious and simple office, Nanyang Military and Political Director Marshal Xiao Ruhai stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, facing the humid and hot sea breeze, silently looking at the masts and chimneys in the harbor.

In the four months since taking office, Xiao Ruhai has really gained the addiction to the "Supreme Emperor" of all countries and regions within the Nanyang Military and Political Region.

As of October 15, 1915, the jurisdiction of the Nanyang Military and Political Region included: the Kingdom of Vietnam, the Philippine Republic and the Sultanate of Brunei, the Nanxing Autonomous Region, the Lanfang Autonomous Region, the Sabah Autonomous Region and the Aceh Autonomous Region, the Sumatra Military Region, the Java Military Region, the Sulawesi and Maluku Island Military Region and the Nusa Tenggara Island Military Region.

The above countries and regions have a total land area of ​​2.62 million square kilometers and a population of about 80 million (including 3.5 million Chinese), and have rich mineral resources and agricultural resources. Among them, the reserves and output of tin ores rank first in the world. The reserves of oil, natural gas and copper ores are also extremely considerable. At the same time, they are the main production and export places for rice and a variety of tropical agricultural products in the world, such as rubber, palm oil, coconut, pepper, rubber, pineapple, sugar, spices, etc.

According to the guidelines determined at the joint meeting of the base camp-cabinet four months ago, independent countries in the Nanyang Military and Political Region - Vietnam, the Philippines and Brunei - were treated as members of the East Asian Union equivalent to R countries, that is, they did not directly interfere in their internal affairs. Except for a few advisers who do not possess actual power, they did not dispatch permanent officials in their "government" departments, and mainly obtained garrison and economic privileges through treaties between states.

With the help of the empire, all independent countries have gradually established a formal national defense system, and have trained new types of army and naval forces in accordance with the empire's organization and organization to prepare for participating in the "Asia-Pacific Liberation War".

By the end of September, the Kingdom of Vietnam had completed the training of two light infantry divisions and one imperial guard regiment based on the original Vietnam Restoration, two infantry divisions and an independent infantry regiment. The Kingdom Navy had one 800-ton gunboat "Guangfu" handed over by the French army when it surrendered, three inland gunboats, and several nearshore patrol boats.

On the basis of absorbing some of the original puppet army officers, the Philippine Republic completed the 1st Light Infantry Division of the Philippine Army, and four other infantry regiments and one artillery regiment are still under training.

The Sultanate of Brunei completed the training of the Brunei Royal Family Imperial Guard Regiment and two independent infantry regiments.

According to the resolution at the Joint Meeting of Supreme Commanders in August of that year, the 1st, 2nd Divisions of Vietnam, 1st Division of the Philippines and 1st Brunei Regiment will be incorporated into the 1st Army of the Asia-Pacific People's Liberation Army, commanded by a Chinese general, and put into the Indian Ocean or the South China Sea battlefield.

The autonomous governments—Nan Xing, Lan Fang, Sabah and Aceh—are given the treatment of a vassal state equivalent to North Korea, that is, a certain number of military and political advisers with real power were dispatched to their 'government' departments to coordinate the issues of garrison and economic privileges based on the vassal laws of the empire.

The autonomous governments have no right to form regular troops, but they can train the security forces of armed police, which are of nature and nature. In the Chinese-led Nanxing and Lan Fang, the security forces scheduled to be trained are very large and well-equipped. The indigenous-led Sabah and Aceh only received a small number of old and outdated seized weapons to equip their limited security companies.

The military-controlled areas - Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi-Maruku and Nusa Tenggara - were directly occupied by military-controlled committees in each district as the ruling organs, and the military-political bureaucrats sent by the empire and the locally selected Chinese elites jointly implemented the rule. At the same time, as a measure to "gradually promote autonomy", consulting associations were set up in each district, to absorb the upper-class members of the local indigenous people and native white people to appease them.

The security of the military-controlled areas was mainly responsible for the military police forces in the Imperial Army. As necessary assistance, a "voluntary joint defense team" was formed, mainly local Chinese and absorbed some of the former colonial "government" indigenous police.

Economically, regardless of political status, the economic lifelines of the countries and regions of the Nanyang Military and Political Region are basically in the hands of major consortiums and giant state-owned monopoly enterprises in the empire.

The oil fields in Borneo and Sumatra are entirely exclusively owned by the state-owned Imperial Petroleum Group, the tin mine in Malaya is exclusively owned by the state-owned Shenyang Heavy Industry Group, the bauxite mine in Vietnam is exclusively owned by the state-owned Beiyang Heavy Industry Group, and the copper mine, gold mine and nickel mine in the Philippines are jointly developed by the state-owned Hanyeping Group and the Zhang Consortium (the head of the top ten consortiums in the Empire, now chaired by Zhang Xiaoruo, the eldest son of Viscount Zhang Jian).

The Yuanchang Rice Shop of Zhu Consortium (third in the top ten consortiums in the Empire, and the president Zhu Dachun) monopolized the rice exports of Vietnam. The Huang Consortium (second in the top ten consortiums in the Empire, now headed by Huang Hong, the eldest son of former speaker of the House of Representatives, Viscount Huang Linhong) controlled the major rubber parks in Malaya through forced investment. The Guangdong Ship Ship Company, which also belongs to the Huang Consortium, also obtained exclusive rights for commercial shipping within the Nanyang Military and Political Region. The Ronghua Department Store of the Rong Consortium (the president of Rong Zongjing and Rong Desheng brothers) controlled the spice trade in the former Dutch East India. The Lu Consortium (the president is Baron Lu Zhuyuan, known as the "financial giant") won the Ministry of Finance of the Nanyang Military and Political Council, and actually controlled the financial power of various countries and regions in the Military and Political Region...

The tobacco supply within the military and political district is exclusively owned by the Nanyang Brothers Tobacco Company of the Jian Consortium (Jian Zhaonan, the Jian Yujie brothers) and the textile supply is handled by the Xue Consortium (the president is Xue Nanyan, son of the famous diplomat Xue Fucheng), and the supply of flour and non-staple food is controlled by the Sun Consortium (the president is Sun Duosen, the son of the former dynasty Baron Sun Jianai).

There is no doubt that Nanyang is the South Ocean of the Empire, or the Garden of Eden of the Empire's monopoly capital.

Military and political affairs, military affairs, the so-called military affairs and government affairs are actually just affiliated with business... Xiao Ruhai, who is drowned every day by rare treasures, huge checks, luxurious feasts, and mixed-race beauties, often thinks this way.

However, after indulging, what was going on with the feeling of emptiness that could not be filled with?

If you cannot personally lead the army, roam the earth, and achieve peerless achievements, why are you here?

In the final analysis, you were deprived of military power by that woman in a way that seemed to be happy and unrestrained manner... right?

Be content, compared with Liu Bailiang and the others, you are already lucky enough.

The various noises echoing in my mind usually only make Xiao Ruhai more addicted to indulging indulgence.
