Chapter 402 Nanyang Pattern
The Southern Army in Guangzhou was about to flee. The Northern Army headquarters had known it for a long time. And each had clear information. Jia Cai immediately became anxious: "Commander-in-Chief, Longya Special Forces, will blow up all the large merchant ships near Guangzhou. Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to prepare all the ships."
Dong Zhen said: "It is better to do it if you are ready. Intercept it at sea."
Only Zhu Yupu did not speak. Jia Cai said, "Why don't you speak?"
"This is the tacit understanding between Mr. Jiang and us. Their think tank is no worse than ours. They may have thought about what you said, but they still want to escape. What does it mean?" Zhu Yupu said.
Jia Cai thought for a moment and seemed to understand something. He said, "Let them go. It is very beneficial for the moment. But in the long run, it is a future problem."
"That's better than fighting to the death. If it continues, it will take at least half a year. The casualties between the two sides exceed 500,000. The people are displaced and homeless. In addition, the war delays agricultural production. Many people will starve to death and freeze to death. These are not what we want to see. So if they want to leave, let them go. There are so many islands in Nanyang. They can live a good life if they occupy a few islands. But they will not have the strength to compete with us at all. What's more, there is an opponent that can make people wake up." Liu Tianling said.
More than a month later, the Southern Army began to flee one after another. The target was the Indonesian archipelago in later generations. More than 200,000 people dispatched hundreds of large cargo ships. Everything went smoothly. Just as the Southern Army predicted, the Southern Fleet did not intercept it. However, four cargo ships carrying gold, soft and soft calligraphy and paintings were attacked and were robbed back by the Southern Fleet's destroyer. Of course, the Southern Army did not suffer much damage. There were no casualties. The four ships of gold, jewelry, soft calligraphy and paintings were of great value. But it was still irrelevant to life.
The mighty Southern Army headed straight to the large islands in the South Ocean. The 200,000 troops quickly occupied a large territory. The local natives holding fire sticks could not compete with them at all. They were just a group of monkeys. They were called Indonesian monkeys.
The Zheng family, which dominated the Nanyang Ocean, also had major changes. The head of the Zheng family passed away. The two sons were incompatible. The eldest son occupied Singapore on the Malay Peninsula. The second son occupied islands in the Philippines in later generations. The two sides separated and became independent forces. The Japanese army in Taiwan had been completely driven away. However, the Japanese army did not stop. Thailand, Myanmar and Vietnam were invaded by the Japanese army. The big battle was still about to break out.
In the spring of 1936, the war on China was basically completed. All countries, including Tibet, had formal agreements. Although there were still a large number of small warlords, there were basically no major wars. Those small warlords may not be convinced, but they were obedient on the surface.
The annual agricultural work deployment meeting in Peking was chaired by Duan Xuewen and Minister of Agriculture. Liu Tianling attended. These years were short meetings. The meeting was very simple.
"I won't say much. I told the industry that national defense requires tanks and cannons. I told the agriculture that the people want steamed buns and rice. You can see what to do. No matter how you come, don't be too empty." Liu Tianling said.
"There is no big problem with eating. This is all the industrial development and the rubber cover that controls the population." An official smiled.
Liu Tianling also laughed. Thanks to the rubber imported from Southeast Asia, the population growth rate has slowed down significantly after its promotion.
