Chapter 248: Capture the Slope

Burma is in the hands of Wang Jiuling. The Qin State not only has an additional treasure house of resources, but more importantly, the strategic defense depth of the Qin State has been greatly strengthened. Wang Jiuling has a deep ear and knows that a small country is easy to perish. He always dodges others. If he doesn't

If the country's strategic depth is deepened and its national strength is strengthened, it is very likely that others will one day evade it.

In order to stabilize Burma, Wang Jiuling continued to let the Chinese take over administrative rights. At the same time, he also detained all the officials left behind by the British colonialists who had lost their rights. If these people were released, they would definitely be dissatisfied because they had lost their rights.

will rebel

So it is better to take them into custody now. I originally wanted to kill them directly, but now I am afraid that killing them will arouse the backlash of the Burmese people, so I will keep them in custody first. However, I will definitely kill without mercy those who have been anti-Chinese, including their whole family.

This moved the Chinese people very much

To deal with the indigenous people of Myanmar, it is not enough to rely on the army and support the Chinese. These are all obvious. Wang Jiuling also needs to covertly. It is necessary to establish a secret police force. They can prevent crimes to the greatest extent. Wang Jiuling believes that this is to control the Burmese people.

The best way

Wang Jiuling has no intention to eliminate the Burmese people now. Wang Jiuling thinks it might be better to keep them. Of course, first of all, these people must prove that they have the need to exist in Qin.

At the same time, in order to stabilize Myanmar, all foreigners must be expelled, and those who collude with Britain and Japan must be dealt with, especially those who collude with the Japanese. In addition, those who cannot prove their identities must also completely disappear from the earth, because they

Nine times out of ten, they are Japanese spies.

Wang Jiuling's principle on such a sensitive issue is that he would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go. They did the same thing when China was not strong enough, so Wang Jiuling will not feel any guilt.

As for the British, they were all thrown into concentration camps and their property was confiscated. Wang Jiuling's favorite thing was the bank, which contained a lot of things Wang Jiuling liked.

Wang Jiuling stipulated that all foreigners must leave within 10 days, otherwise the Qin army will no longer protect their safety. Of course, if there are really blind people staying here, they will never have the chance to leave.

The British are temporarily unable to counterattack, and everything is normal in Myanmar. In order to stabilize Myanmar, Wang Jiuling has also organized an additional 100,000 troops to go to Myanmar. In this way, the guard force will be 250,000. Wang Jiuling believes that nothing will happen in Myanmar.

As for Huang Peiyao's unit of the First Army in the Malay Peninsula, the soldiers on the Burmese battlefield had to fight harder.

When we were on the island, the advance went very smoothly in the first two days, but after expelling the British troops from the Malay Peninsula on the third day, all the remaining British troops retreated to Singapore. This put a lot of pressure on Huang Peiyao.

In the mid-18th century, Britain was expanding its territory in India and its trade with China. They urgently needed to find a port where their ships could berth and be repaired, so as to gain an advantage in the trade competition with the Dutch.

At the end of 1818, Governor Raffles established a new trading port at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula.

On January 29, 1819, Raffles landed on the main island of Singapore and found that Singapore had excellent conditions for developing into a port. The waters in the south were spacious and rarely affected by storms, and the nearby streams also had abundant water sources to provide drinking water. Initially, Singapore was affiliated to British India.

colonial authority

By 1820, Singapore was generating profits for the British Empire

In 1824, Singapore's colonial status was further established, two new treaties were formally signed, and it became the Straits Settlements in 1826. In 1832, Singapore became the seat of the Straits Settlements government. On April 1, 1867, it officially became a British crown colony.

Directly under the jurisdiction of the Colonial Office in London

By the beginning of the 20th century, Singapore had grown from a swampy wasteland to the seventh largest port in the world.

Today's Singapore is a big place, but it has a population of more than 700,000. The key is that 70% of it is Chinese. Many weapons of the Qin army are inconvenient to use. Otherwise, the Chinese will suffer the most, but it is even less likely that the British will

Keeping a port on the border of Qin, let alone such a good place

After Huang Peiyao reported the situation, Wang Jiuling immediately studied the plan overnight. Finally, Wang Jiuling ordered the air force to continue air strikes on the British ground forces and also sink all ships approaching Singapore. Of course, the most important thing was to kill the British fleet.

At the same time, the navy went south to escort the army across the Johor Strait. The Johor Strait is located between the Malay Peninsula and Singapore Island with a total length of about 53 kilometers. It is divided into east and west sections by the Singapore-Johor Causeway: the west section is about 24 kilometers long, generally 1,400 meters wide, and the water depth is

6-7 meters; the eastern section is about 29 kilometers long, 1,800-2,000 meters wide, and 12 meters deep.

The land channel that crosses the Strait of Johor and connects Singapore and Malaysia was built from 1919 to 1923. It is 1,056 meters long and 25.3 meters wide, all made of granite. The southern section of 608 meters belongs to Singapore, and the northern section of 448 meters belongs to Malaysia. In the middle of the embankment is the railway, and the west section is

There is a highway on one side and a water pipe on the east side. Water is diverted from Johor to Singapore.

The Johor-Singapore Causeway was built by British architects in the 1920s and was not completed until 1923. However, the British army blew it up to prevent the Qin army from attacking Singapore.

In order to minimize the harm to the Chinese in Singapore, Wang Jiuling airlifted the 3,000 submachine guns that had just been produced, and asked Huang Peiyao to transfer all the assault equipment and sniper rifle personnel from other troops to carry out street fighting.

At the same time, Wang Jiuling also airlifted more than 80 305mm fortress guns. They were installed first in Malacca, which had already been obtained, and then in Singapore.

After two days of preparation on April 5, a regiment of the Army boarded a requisitioned civilian ship and a Navy warship. Under the cover of the Air Force, they crossed the Strait of Johor and seized the beachhead. Then, under the attack of artillery and Air Force, they gradually

Expand the results of the battle and attack the city. At this time, the British still have more than 20,000 British troops and more than 30,000 indigenous soldiers in the city, as well as some police and other police forces.

However, Sir Shenton of Singapore had already planned to surrender when the Qin army passed the Johor Strait. No one from the UK would come to rescue him. The fleet received orders from the country and retreated to Malaysia in Borneo, conserving its strength and waiting for domestic troops to be mobilized for revenge. This

This is also why the naval air force searched nervously for a long time but could not find the British fleet.

Just when the Qin army had crossed one division and was preparing for a big fight, the Governor of Singapore, Sir Shenton, sent a coded telegram to express surrender. However, in the telegram, he also said a lot, why for the welfare of the people of Singapore?

I don’t want Singapore to be devastated.
