"What?!"

"The Japanese have already fought, there are two battleships and two landing troops!" In the city of Seribaga Bay, Lieutenant Colonel Hartre, the British garrison commander, looked at the staff who came to report, and his eyes were almost glaring out. This was coming too fast, didn't the Royal Navy Far East Fleet say that the Japanese would conquer the Philippines first and then come to Brunei? Why did they come!

The Far East Fleet is cheating people!

"Lieutenant Colonel, the Japanese asked us to surrender within two hours, otherwise they would fire guns and bombard the Sribaga Bay!" The staff officer looked frightened, now his face turned pale and looked absent-minded. He looked at his boss who looked more panicked than himself. After a long time, he whispered: "Sir, we have less than 300 armed British military and police, 600 indigenous police, and less than 1,000 guards from the Sultan of Brunei. There are only a few 6-inch cannons on the fort at the port, which are still old antiques before World War I. Moreover, our white garrisons in Sarawak and Sabah together have less than 1,500 people. The fleet is just a few old gunboats and cannot be defended at all..."

"Far East Fleet! Where is the Far East Fleet?"

Lieutenant Colonel Hartre stumbled to the map and suddenly thought of something, his face was as pale as death. Not only were the Japanese warships on the sea, but there were many in the city of Seribaga Bay! Most of them came to Nanyang to make a living after the Japanese Revolution in 1924. They had no less than 50,000 yuan in Sarawak and Sabah alone. They did the hardest and most tiring work and dared to make money, and they were even more diligent than the Chinese. They also hugged each other and no one dared to provoke them. The local natives had caused trouble with them under the instigation of the colonial authorities, but they were bleeding from their heads every time they fought. In the end, they were beaten to death and refused to stand up.

After the British joined the war, Lieutenant Colonel Hartree reported to the superiors to ask the Japanese to be detained as enemies and overseas Chinese. However, before the report was approved, the Japanese turned into Chinese and tribe members! They all took the passports of the Greater China Federation and were friends of the British Empire, so the detention of them was left unresolved...

"The order given to us by Lieutenant General Hope stipulates that in case of an overwhelmingly superior enemy attack, the Sribaga Bay can be abandoned and turned to the Shailan Mountains to fight guerrillas." The staff continued: "The terrain there is very dangerous and completely covered by tropical rainforests. If you retreat there, you should be able to hold on for a long time."

"Yes, you should give up Seribaga Bay, but you can't go to the rainforest. You have just come here, and you don't know how scary the rainforest is!"

Lieutenant Colonel Hartre has been in Sarawak and Sabah for seven or eight years. He knows that the tropical rainforest of Borneo is not the territory of the British at all, except for the local savages. Ordinary people cannot survive in the rainforest for a long time. Especially the white colonists who are pampered and living like themselves. In contrast, the hard-working Japanese must be more able to adapt to the harsh conditions of the rainforest. So now entering the rainforest is seeking death, and it is decided that they will die without life, and even going to the military court is better than this!

"Now you take people to the palace and give the Sultan of Brunei..."

"Not good! Lieutenant Colonel, no good!"

Before Lieutenant Colonel Hartre finished speaking, he was interrupted by the nervous shouts from outside. A captain officer ran into the office anxiously. "Lieutenant Colonel, something big happened, the Japanese outside the city are rioting! The militants are driving over like Seribaga Bay!"

"What!"

The lieutenant colonel staggered and almost fell to the ground. The news of the riot made Hartre completely lose his calmness. He grabbed the collar of the captain who came to report and roared: "Hurry up and organize people to suppress the riot! Also, send someone to get Ahmed Danzutin Sultan out of the palace for me!"

"Lieutenant Colonel, he...they have thousands of people, most of them with rifles and pistols!"

"Bastard, you should have locked all these people in concentration camps long ago!" Lieutenant Colonel Hartley heard the number of Japanese rebels. The last trace of blood on his face suddenly disappeared, and he sat on the stool, but he kept trembling and said: "Let's go, go immediately, leave here... never come back!"

"Lieutenant Colonel, then where are we going?"

"Go... to Sandakan, and then take a boat to Dutch East India, I hope it's still time!"

...

"Hurry, comrades, work harder."

More than ten kilometers south of Seribaga Bay, GC International South Ocean Bureau General Representative in North Borneo, Nakajo Komatsu loudly encouraged the rebels around him. Unlike the news received by the British, these people are not all Japanese, and most of them are actually local Malays. In fact, in the past few years, the GC International South Ocean Bureau controlled by Japan GCD is still actively carrying out activities, supporting the establishment of Malay GCD, Borneo GCD, Dutch East India GCD, and also providing a lot of help to the GCD people in French Indochina, Philippines and Myanmar, and even quietly supporting the establishment of a Siamese GCD.

Although these GCDs are indirectly led by Japanese GCD, it does not mean that the Japanese (He tribe) in the Nanyang region must support these GCD, nor does it mean that the GC International South Ocean Bureau will favor the Japanese (He tribe) in the Nanyang region. In fact, the GC International South Ocean Bureau and the Japanese People's Committee of the Interior are quite disgusted with the Japanese in exile in Nanyang. In their opinion, these people are simply traitors and class enemies, which are more harmful and more dangerous than Western colonists! Of course, except for those Japanese who worked for the Japanese People's Committee of the Interior very early.

However, in order to gather a strong enough armed force in a short period of time, Nakajoko and his comrades have been active in the He tribe groups in Borneo these days. Finally, they convinced several of the largest groups to stay in Borneo to "welcome liberation". They also recruited hundreds of thugs who had participated in the Japanese Army as the backbone of the North Borneo People's Uprising.

Among the rebel army commanded by the Chinese and Western Gong, the thugs from the Japanese army were still very similar. The others were raided at first glance. Moreover, the rebel army had no good weapons, less than one-third of them held various guns, including the Mauser's pistol, the Soviet Mosinnagan rifle, the Type 38 rifle produced by Japan or China, the 79 rifle made in Hanyang or Gongxian in China, and even people carried front-mounted smoothbore rifles! As for the weapons used by the other two-thirds, they were even more diverse, such as big knives, spears, bows and arrows, and the blowing arrows that the natives of South China often like to use. The most exaggerated thing is that there are still many people with bare hands and no idea what they are going to fight?

But Comrade Nakajo Ko is still confident in the victory of the revolution, because the comrade lurking in Seribaga Bay had called and informed the arrival of the "main Red Army"! There were two battleships, more than a dozen destroyers and cruisers, and two troop transport ships, all of which were hung with the flag of the red-bottomed golden sun! Although it came a few days earlier than planned, it was better than coming later. This shows that the great leader Chairman Takeda always cared about the oppressed people of all ethnic groups in Borneo! Well, of course, the oppressed people do not include the Japanese (and ethnic groups) and the Chinese (Chinese). These reactionaries have some wealth, in Borneo.

It is difficult to become rich and powerful. But it is inevitable to be a well-off family. As long as you are willing to work early and late, even the Japanese exiles who have just arrived have saved two money. Many people have also purchased land. It is estimated that the landlord is not a big problem! And there is also the charge of betraying the motherland... The only thing that is troublesome is that most of these people have applied for Chinese passports, but they can also find ways to make them give up this protective umbrella, so that they will be able to rectify it at that time! There are few people here, so they are not afraid of "counter-revolutionary samurai" causing trouble. When the revolution is successful, they must mobilize the oppressed indigenous people here to fight them!

...

The Japanese Red Marine Corps officers and soldiers of the brigade had already appeared on the streets of Seribaga Bay. They occupied the city without bloodshed. The only effort was a 305mm high-explosive bomb. Well, they only fired one shot. It was considered "Two Chens and one shot to determine Brunei".

After the British fled with that Sudan, the Sultan Guards and indigenous police who were left behind in the city had no intention of scattering birds and beasts. After the battlecruiser "Northern Frontier" fired a shot, they surrendered responsibly. Then Chen Xinrui did not order the troops to row a boat and landed in small boats, and directly asked his subordinates to disembark at the port of Seribaga Bay.

A total of 2,000 fakes wearing Japanese Red Army sailor uniforms held up the red-soled golden sun flag and swaggered into the city, marching on the main street. Leather shoes hit the asphalt road, and a neat and solemn sound. Under the sailors' caps were tight young faces, which looked very difficult to mess with. Moreover, these Japanese Red Army soldiers were very majestic, with an average of 1.75 meters. According to the Malays or Japanese in Seribagawan City, these were a group of fully armed burly men!

Chen Xinrui, wearing a blue military uniform and several other lieutenant colonels of the National Defense Forces, rode a tall horse that he found from somewhere and walked at the forefront of the team entering the city. He also looked full of spirit, as if he had won many famous generals.

Chang Ruiqing's central guard division is actually a fool. If they really have to fight hard, they may not be able to fight well. However, it is absolutely impossible to say that they can pull it out and pretend to be elites to scare people. However, two thousand people were walking on the street, their movements were neat and just like one. The leather shoes were pounding the ground with the ups and downs, making the welcome Malays and Japanese on both sides of the street show their awe-inspiring eyes. They even forgot to cheer. As the army marched, the entire Sribaga Bay City was silent, with only the sound of footsteps.

The focus of the entry style is the palace of the Sultan of Brunei. At this time, the Sultan of Brunei was not the richest monarch in the world, so his palace was just a rule of an ordinary wealthy mansion. Several trembling traitors, uh, no, it should be Malay traitors (Malays) who were already waiting there. Some Sultan Guards who had already handed over their weapons to be puppet troops were also there. Seeing a team of "Japanese Red Army" coming over, they couldn't even stand firm, and subconsciously retreated to the back step by step. As for the Westerners in the city of Sribaga Bay, they either had escaped or hid at home and dared not show up, and probably were packing up their things and preparing to run away.

So the only foreigners who appeared in the square outside the palace were the Chinese Ambassador to Brunei (Brunei is the British protector). An old man with a ugly face, and he didn't know where he came from, he could speak fluent Japanese. Seeing Colonel Chen and several subordinates dressed in a dress, he jumped out and spoke Japanese in a silence, probably asking the Japanese side to protect the property and life safety of Chinese expatriates. Anyway, Chen Xinrui couldn't understand a word. She learned German in the National Defense University, so she waved to a deputy commander of the Central Guard Division named Song Xilian beside him and asked him to deal with it. This person who had studied Japanese in the National Defense University, and spoke fluently in a standard Osaka accent. So the two Chinese communicating in Japanese at the door of the Brunei Palace...

...

"...The first brigade of the Nanyang Task Force has occupied the Siria oil field. Both British and Dutch engineers from the oil field have fled, but the oil production equipment is basically intact and has not been significantly damaged. A large oil depot with about 150,000 tons of oil is safe and sound."

"The whereabouts of the Brunei Sultan is unknown. It is estimated that he is retreating towards Sandakan with the British army. However, most of the Sudanese government and family members are still in Seribaga Bay City, and now they are basically controlled by us."

"Martial law has been issued. All important locations, ports and forts in the city of Seribaga Bay are controlled by us. The indigenous police and indigenous troops in the city have been concentrated in their respective barracks, waiting to be dispatched, but most of them have expressed their willingness to serve...Soviet Japan."

"The mood of the He tribe expatriates in Seribagawan City seems to be a little unstable. Many people gathered in the Chinese embassy, ​​and the Ambassador Wang also came to us several times to ensure the safety of the lives and property of Chinese citizens. He also said that the He tribes in Brunei, Sarawak, and Sabah have Chinese identities..."

After pretending to behave in Seribagawan City, Chen Xinrui entered the palace of the Sultan of Brunei. Occupy a country is not as simple as posing assaults on the streets. There are still many serious things to do, and some things are very complicated, and she, an officer, can't handle it.

Fortunately, Huang Baopei, secretary of the Nanyang Bureau of Zhongg, is an expert in this field. This time he also came to Brunei on the Beijiang battle cruiser. However, he has not held any public position yet. He is too famous in Nanyang and knows him, so he cannot come forward yet. He can only secretly take over civil affairs work as an advisor.

So although the officers of the "Nanyang Advance Team" report now is Chen Xinrui, the one who really makes the decision outside of the military is Huang Baopei sitting next to her with a fan shaking.

"Don't refuse anyone who is willing to surrender, regardless of their indigenous military and police or officials of the Brunei government. These people are local tyrants, and we need them to maintain the situation for the time being. In addition, the emotions of the He tribe members also need to be comforted. These people are not easy to deal with, and they are anxious and dare to fight to the death. We do not intend to be in trouble with them. I know the Ambassador Wang, a member of the Kuomintang, an old member of the Tongmeng, who has studied in Japan, and recently married a He tribe woman, who has a certain prestige among the He tribe members in Brunei. I will meet him, explain the situation to him, and let him come forward to appease..."

"Report!" Before Huang Baopei finished speaking, Song Xilian hurriedly walked in from outside the door. "College, something happened. Two or three thousand unknown armed personnel came to the south of the city, wearing the GCD sickle hammer flag. I wonder which armed family was from?" As he said that, Lieutenant Colonel Song kept looking at Huang Baopei.

Huang Baopei was also stunned for a moment. Of course, the one who beats the sickle and hammer flag is GCD, but... the GCD here in Borneo is not one of the China GNOSHA, but also the GC International South Ocean Bureau and Borneo GCD! These two companies are controlled by the Japanese GCD, and are enemies and not friends with the China GNOSHA. These armed personnel with unknown origins are definitely not their own people. It seems that they must be revolutionaries on the other side of the Japanese GN! (To be continued...)
