Chapter 1496: Concealing the world
At 4 pm, in front of the gate of the French Annan Governor's Office.
"Protest the Governor's Office interferes with the freedom of the press!"
"Protesting the illegal detention of Governor Jur Brevier!"
"We are going out of the city and don't want to be prisoners!"
A large group of people, holding various protest slogans, shouted at the white Governor's House building.
Twelve white soldiers guarding the Governor's Office were ready to fight, picked up the French Lebert rifle and pointed it at the protesting crowd. A blond army major in his early thirties held a horn and urged the crowd in skillful French.
Severe warning:
"Do not gather in front of the Governor's Office during the war! Please note: This is a serious illegal act. If you do not stop, you will be severely punished! If you have any requirements, you can send a representative to the Governor's Office and receive it by a special person to resolve the issue.
, such noisy will not solve the problem!"
A strong white man with green hair dyed in his thirties loudly retorted: "We have sent people to the Governor's Office to appeal many times before, but the problem has never been solved! On the fifth day of last month, the Governor's Office sent people
Forcibly brought us back from all over Jiaozhichi, trapped us in this city for more than a month, and used various illegal means to restrict us from leaving the city, making it impossible for us to fulfill our duties as a reporter! On behalf of all members of the Paris Daily, I declared solemnly:
This behavior of the Governor's Office is a rough interference with our journalists' rights and interests, and we will fight to the end!"
The major tense face and said to the microphone: "Now the war in Jiaozhichina is in full swing, our soldiers are fighting against the enemy there, and even the Governor personally rushed to the front line to supervise the war. The critical situation can be seen.
I believe that in the past few days, everyone has also heard the vague sound of gunfire from outside the city. At this time, it is impossible for us to let you out and disturb our war. When domestic reinforcements arrive, the war in Jiaozhichina area will quell, so we will naturally release it.
Everyone, go out!"
"But - why do you want to arrest people and confiscate our telegraph? How do we work if we leave the telegraph?" asked an elegant and beautiful white female reporter in her twenties.
"During the war, any act that interferes with the government's operations is the target of severe crackdown. When the war is over, it is determined whether there are any enemy forces involved. If it has nothing to do with politics, it will naturally be released. As for the confiscation of the radio station, this is the target of the Governor's Office.
The new regulations made by the characteristics of the war now are because we do not know whether there are any spies sent from the north among you journalists who will pass information to our enemies through the radio station. In order to solve the problem once and for all, the confiscation of the radio station is
Necessary! I can remind everyone that there is a telegraph bureau in Saigon. If you need it, you can go there to send a report. The Governor's Office will bear the full cost! When we organize a large-scale counterattack and regain Hue and Tokyo, we will naturally return the radio station.
Everyone!" the major explained with the microphone.
"But why do you restrict us from taking a boat to Saigon to other cities?" asked a white reporter in his forties with a long hook nose.
"Not all places are restricted. It is allowed to go to the United States, India, South Africa, West Africa, and France. These routes are currently operating normally, but they cannot go to various port cities in Nanyang. If it is the same reason, we cannot be sure of it.
Are there any spies sent from the north among you? Saigon is now empty in defense. We will never allow you to pass on the intelligence to our opponents. This is a great security risk to the French Republic and must be resolutely stopped!" The major replied righteously.
.
"When will our country send troops and fleets to Saigon?" asked a female reporter who was in her twenties with silver hair and seemed to be inexperienced in the world.
"You are journalists, aren't you still clear about the situation in China? According to the order we have received, we must hold on for another half a month, that is, the country will send troops in the latest one week! Once the army arrives in Saigon, we will
Launch a counterattack on the abominable enemies and let them see the power of the powerful French army!”
Speaking of this, the major raised his arms and shouted: "Long live the French Republic! Long live the Army!"
Twelve French soldiers in front of the Governor's Mansion also shouted in French: "Long live France! Long live the Army!"
The reporters present looked at each other in a while. After a while, the major and his soldiers calmed down and asked new questions, they suddenly saw a team of patrol soldiers coming not far away, and suddenly screamed and scattered.
It turns out that Saigon, under military control, was extremely severe in punishment. Once arrested, he would be sentenced to half a year in prison. There were 70 permanent reporters from eleven newspapers in Saigon and eight newspapers with huge influence in Europe and the United States.
Two, but so far, two-thirds have been imprisoned. Although they were visiting the prison, they found that they had not suffered except losing their freedom, but they lived in dark cells all day long and could not enjoy the sunshine and rain.
Although there is not much freedom outside, at least there is no need to sleep in the narrow bed or cover it with a moldy quilt. There is still a difference.
The second floor of the Governor's Office, Lieutenant General Yan Kaitai, the deputy commander of the Anjia Army Navy who had just arrived in Saigon last night, wiped away the cold sweat from his forehead: "It's so dangerous, I finally fooled these eloquent reporters... This situation
Is it too much?”
Major General Lu Linhai, the commander of the First Brigade of the Marine Corps, nodded: "Many, and not only are the journalists coming to surround him, but also many French immigrants. Last four days and nights, some French planters from Jiaozhichina
We went to Saigon City to do business, but we were blocked in the city. Because we were concerned about our family, they came to protest several times. Finally, we asked them to give the specific contact address, and then sent a convoy to pick them up and pick up all their families.
It was only after coming to Saigon that he could provide free food and accommodation.
"However, some people are still dissatisfied with this and said they would go back to take care of the plantation. After repeated advice, we were arrested on charges of disrupting order and were all imprisoned. Anyway, the French built two in Saigon.
Eighteen large prisons are enough to accommodate 5,000 people, so we are not afraid of no place to settle them. Since then, churches and church schools have sent people to question them. We were very happy and we were all arrested on the charge of collusion with the enemy.
When the French, who were used to being free and casual, saw the action and restrained a lot. Now the reporters are here to make trouble.
"There are also many businessmen. Most of these people are our Chinese compatriots. They want money but don't live. They also ran to the Governor's Office to rallies and protest. As a result, our soldiers rushed, and then arrested a group of them.
After firing the cannon outside for more than ten minutes, and firing the gun for more than half an hour, he no longer made trouble. Now he is staying at home obediently and dare not move."
Yan Kaitai frowned and said, "It's not a solution to keep this. This Jiaozhizhina is not only a port in Saigon, but it is difficult to ensure that other places will not leak news... It's tricky!"
Major General Lu Dongsheng, the captain of the Navy's "Green Fox Brigade", smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, commander, no problem, our fleet is cruising along the coast, and our bows are all holding French flags, rushing around in the South China Sea.
In the Gulf of Thailand, even the Japanese and Thai ships could only retreat. We had 824 Jewish naval officers and soldiers to help, and the Green Hoffmann Jewish Steps on the land were on the ground.
Corps, we have no problem controlling the contact between Jiaozhichina and the outside world. The major who negotiated with the reporter just now was Dura Borg, the first battalion commander of the Jewish Infantry Regiment. This person was once a captain of the German Wehrmacht Force. After the Nazis came to power, they were cleared out.
The army, this time, is like a fish in water, cherishing everything now."
Yan Kaitai nodded, and Major General Li Yuzhen, the Minister of Navy Intelligence, added: "We not only conducted effective interceptions on water and land, but also used radio detectors to monitor every move of the entire Jiaozhizhina at any time, especially those opened by the French.
Factory, plantations, churches, church schools, etc. are the top priority in monitoring. Once a radio signal is found, radio waves will be immediately transmitted to interfere, and then troops will be sent to cut off the signal source.
"Luckily, until now, our maze array is still effective. No one noticed that our plan to use the Jewish army to wear French uniforms at any time, driving in and out, and then intentionally or unintentionally arrange a few intense events.
Practical exercises. The atmosphere in Jiaozhichina is extremely tense now. Most people intend to reduce going out and stay at home and wait for the situation to be clear."
Yan Kaitai sighed: "That's good! In short, we must ensure that the "concealing the world" plan is implemented smoothly. Otherwise, once the naval powers such as the United States, Japan, and Britain know that we have a navy in our hands, we will definitely search without any choice.
Duan deals with us! The commander-in-chief said that when the Germans take action in Europe until the second half of the year, they will no longer be afraid of anything. Even if they cannot persist until the second half of the year, they must at least persist until our fortress stands up so that we can
Be invincible."
Major General Du Bo, Minister of Communications, suddenly realized: "I said, I heard that the construction of the north is in full swing on the radio, but there was no movement in the south. It turned out that we were going to firmly implement the strategy of "concealing the enemy"!"
General Li Wei, director of the Navy's Political Department who accompanied Yan Kaitai to Saigon, explained: "The Chairman said that the minerals in Annan are mainly concentrated in the north. As long as the north develops and has sufficient electricity and steel supply, the development of the south will be easy.
. Moreover, our resources are limited now and we can only develop gradually. Now, the supply of various materials from Hue to the front line of coastal defense is extremely tight. If we add the surrounding areas of Saigon, we can't take care of it at all. Also, the French
It was just that the railway from coastal defense to Tsinghua was built. Now the Germans are building the railway from Xinjing Jinglang San to Nanning, Qinghua to Hue, Xinjing to Taiyuan, Xinjing to Dien Bien Phu to Anxin City.
"From Hue to Saigon, we have to cross the vast mountains, only roads are connected, and the transportation of materials is extremely inconvenient. Based on various considerations, we can only continue to set up a 'maze array' in Jiaozhichina to confuse the great powers such as the United States, Britain, and Japan, mainly to paralyze the French and let them
Send more 'aid'."
When the generals heard this, they smiled heartily.
During this period, the French really gave a lot of good things, and gave guns and cannons and people. The cannons were used to supply the French artillery division in the colonial region, including 48 75mm howitzers, 36 105mm howitzers, and 16
The 47mm anti-tank gun and eighteen 25mm anti-aircraft machine guns made Lieutenant Colonel Green Hoffman, the commander of the Jewish Infantry Regiment who received the equipment, was so happy that he couldn't stop.
This time, three thousand Jews who had served in the German, Austrian and Czechoslovak army were selected from the 300,000 Jews and formed an infantry regiment. After a brief training, Simao drove to the coastal defense, and
The captured French naval officers and soldiers ate and lived together for a week, and then put on carefully crafted French uniforms and transported them to Saigon by transport ships. They had Jewish people from more than 40,000 French prisoners.
The officers and soldiers of blood began to imitate the French army in the colonies. At the beginning, the entire Jiaozhichina area was still seeing yellow-skinned soldiers wearing Annan uniforms all over the streets. When the French army dressed in Jews appeared, all
The suspicion was wiped out and the order became normal.
The weapon equipped by the French government for the colonial army was the old 1886 "Leber" rifle. This rifle was a product of the 1980s. After a war, it has been used until now. It is a miracle. But I think about it.
It's so sad that we are guarding the reputation of the world's first army, but the weapons used by the army are really not very good. At present, the mas36 rifle, which is the most elite unit in France, is still manual, although it is combined with other rifles during World War I.
The advantage of this is that the semi-automatic and fully automatic rifles equipped by Anjia Army are no match for firepower.
The 170,000 shipyard workers sent to Saigon by transport ships were sent to Cam Ranh Bay and Hai Pang Port respectively. After arriving there, they were soon told the truth. After experiencing the initial commotion, the ocean-going fleets were
The captured ship designers, engineers and senior technicians made a big appearance and made a statement. The garrison representatives of the shipyard told them that they would pay a generous salary that would be enough to support the family every month, which quickly stabilized the workers who had long been disappointed in France.
All enthusiasm was devoted to the expansion of shipbuilding and shipyards, laying a solid foundation for the take-off of Nanhua's shipbuilding industry.
Many people may wonder that it is already the 1930s, and it is not that easy to block information and intelligence on a land of tens of thousands of square kilometers.
In fact, the reason is very simple. The political form and terrain of Jiaozhichina are very beneficial for keeping confidentiality.
Let’s talk about the political form first. French Annan is different from China. Before World War II, China was a semi-colonial country. The great powers had their own interests in China, so they could not form exclusiveness, which led to the interweaving of forces in various parties, and the acquisition of intelligence was very simple.
French Annan is different. This is a colony exclusively occupied by the French. The colonial government has absolute control over the territory. It has always implemented high-pressure rule and is very vigilant against the great powers. It is difficult for other countries to penetrate, so naturally it is impossible to obtain more.
Therefore, as long as the colonial government's rule is completely disintegrated, the entire region will be under absolute control and all forces will have nowhere to hide.
Let’s talk about the terrain. The Jiaozhichina area is surrounded by the sea on three sides. It is surrounded by the Tiannan Province of Nanhua (formerly most of Cambodia) to the west. There are continuous mountains to the north. The mountains are in the Xiyuan Province of Nanhua (Danang to Nha Trang and Xialiao,
Eastern Cambodia) and Hue municipalities. As long as you firmly jamm the passes south from Hue and Da Nang and then use the water blockade, Jiaozhichina is completely a Jedi.
In addition, An Jiajun's radio and electromagnetic research has always been at the world's leading level. It can detect all radio signals in the jurisdiction as early as 30 years. Now, after five years of development, it has developed an electromagnetic interference system based on radar and computer technology.
And electronic positioning systems, if two months later, high-altitude airships that can be suspended in the air for monitoring and interference will be put into use, which is more beneficial for information monitoring and shielding.
In short, the superior political and geographical environment, careful layout and disguise, coupled with leading technology, led to the emergence of this incredible scene.
Many things seem impossible, but really make up your mind to do it well, and there is nothing that cannot be achieved.
