Chapter 168 Target, Borneo (first update, please subscribe)
Great justice!
Sometimes, justice is really important.
Although you are following the Allied forces, being a receptionist is definitely very exciting. You can get everything at almost no cost.
But while it is fragrant, it will also plant hidden dangers for the future - how can Borneo survive the wave of colonial independence?
What if Borneo itself liberated itself from Japanese occupation?
The liberator is justice.
This is where the legitimacy of my future rule of Borneo lies.
Just like the five hooligans, no matter how the outside world questions it, it cannot change the fact that the five hooligans are based on the anti-fascist war in World War II. If other countries want to challenge the legal status of the five hooligans, they must first go to the United Nations Don't talk about it until it's ruined.
In addition to righteousness, this is also an opportunity for Li Yian!
An opportunity to control, no, rather liberate, all of Borneo.
If you go back as a receptionist, you will only get one North Borneo at most. But as a liberator, no one can take Borneo away from his own hands.
Sitting in the Chrysler driven by the driver, Li Yian left the White House. On the way back to the hotel, Li Yian was thinking about the liberation of Borneo.
There are four regions in Borneo. In addition to the North Borneo Company, there are also the Kingdom of Sarawak and the Kingdom of Brunei. They are all British protectorates, but most of Borneo is owned by the Netherlands. human colony.
“Okay, there will be no more problems with the Dutch there from now on...”
Since this is a place where you have to bleed to take it back, if the Dutch want it, be prepared to bleed first!
Of course there will be no British issues in the future. After all, Li Yi'an's goal is the entire Borneo!
Now is the perfect opportunity.
Sitting in the car, Li Yian leaned back and lit a cigarette. When the car pulled over at the intersection, Dean got out and bought a newspaper, then handed him a copy of the late Washington Post. A piece of news came into his eyes in the latest news column of the newspaper. The news was published in the middle of the newspaper.
"On February 1, Field Marshal Montgomery led his army to launch an attack on the German troops stationed on the Rhine..."
He went back to it, then read it several times.
The seemingly simple news contains too much information - the Allies have begun their final offensive on the German mainland. Soon, they will overcome the Siegfried Line guarded by the old, weak, sick and disabled. , and then forced into the heart of Germany.
He looked out the window at the chaotic traffic and the crowded pedestrians. Some people shuffled towards the station, while others braved the drizzle in February and walked towards the public with heavy and slow steps. As the car drove away, most of the pedestrians were women. Because the war sent tens of millions of young men to the military camps, women filled all walks of life.
"Soon, your men will be back..."
Their men will come back, but they have to wait until Japan surrenders. When will Japan surrender?
Will it be this year?
While he was looking out the window, an idea slowly began to take shape.
......
Once again, Li Yian came to the Pentagon.
The difference from the previous times is that this time, Li Yian came here no longer as a defense contractor, but as a person who came here to negotiate military affairs.
This morning, Li Yian received an invitation from the Pentagon.
The invitation was made by an old acquaintance, and the meeting place was also in General Holcomb's office. As soon as he entered the office, the general walked towards the wall and opened the wine cabinet.
"Would you like a drink, Li? I think we should celebrate a long time ago. I have been looking for this opportunity. I want to celebrate with you and express my gratitude to you. Our invention saved the world." "Thank you, General... some whiskey?"
"Li, when I handed the contract to you last year, many people thought I was sick. No one believes that it can be effective on the battlefield if it is rushed to the hospital.”
General Holcomb, who was pouring the wine, seemed a little excited. How could he not be excited?
After all, "Agent Orange" was a successful program supported by him and the Marine Corps, and the effect was very significant.
"Yes, General, it was all with your support that "Agent Orange" worked."
Li Yian nodded in agreement, and the credit must go to the leader.
General Holcomb took the wine glass and handed it to Li Yian. They toasted each other and sipped whiskey.
"The role that Agent Orange played in the war was simply unexpected."
General Holcomb said.
"Since we entered the battlefield last year, all frontline commanders from the Pacific to Burma have named it! They want "Agent Orange"! Do you know? Li, no one has ever been able to Thinking that its effect will be so good, he can even turn the dense rain forest into a wasteland. The Japanese devils can no longer hide in the rain forest and sneak attack on us as they did in the past. "
Holcomb! The general took a sip of wine and said in an excited tone.
“I don’t know how many young men’s lives have been saved. All of them are very grateful for your products.”
"Yes, the company also received letters of thanks from them, general."
Li Yian said with a smile. Just be grateful now, but don't hate me in the future. After all, the effect of that thing is not just falling leaves.
"That's why the military will issue new orders one after another. I think the current orders are enough for you to go all out for production for a year."
Huo General Erkum said.
"Not only is it needed in the Pacific now, but even the British in India know its effects and demand that "Agent Orange" be included in the Lend-Lease Act."
General Holcomb sitting on the sofa , glanced at Li Yian, and said in a serious tone.
"Although I am no longer the Commandant of the Marine Corps, I still serve in the Pentagon, and just as I promised before, I will do my best to ensure that orders for "Agent Orange" will be given priority. Subcontract to your company.”
When General Holcomb did these things last year, he did not tell Li Yi’an, but he did deal with some things before leaving office to ensure that he became famous. Agent Orange orders fall on who they should fall on.
“Thank you General.”
Li Yian picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then said.
"General, I am very grateful for your continued care."
"Actually, Lee, I am not willing to leave the Marine Corps, but they gave me a star. But The commander of the Marine Corps can only be a lieutenant general."
General Holcomb's tone seemed helpless.
After taking a sip of wine, Li Yian looked at the admiral in front of him and said.
"General, I believe you can play a greater role in your new position."
"That's why we met again."
General Holcomb said.
"You know, now I am the special adviser to the Secretary of the Navy. Mike's plan, how should I say? It can indeed change the war situation in Southeast Asia, but those Australian guys, they are a bunch of damn cowards, so now The important task of liberating Borneo falls on your shoulders."
Looking at the young man in front of him, General Holcomb said.
"I really didn't expect that you actually have your own country and army... Well, there are too many unexpected things in this world. How about it, are you ready?"
"General, at the moment The main force of the Borneo garrison is in France and North Africa."
Li Yi'an said.
“Although on the surface, the total strength of the garrison is 50,000, in fact most of them are undertrained. They need time to train, and it also takes time to travel from Europe and North Africa to Borneo. "
General Holcomb, who was sitting on the sofa, nodded slightly. Of course he knew this very well.
"Our landing operations in Europe have ended, and all ships will be sent to Asia to support the next landing operations on the Japanese mainland. At that time, your people can take those ships to Australia, and then conduct landings in the rainforest areas in the Philippines. After acclimatization training, then attack Borneo. Of course, you will be covered by the U.S. Navy and Army Air Force."
You may not even need escort, because after the Battle of Leyte, the Japanese Navy was basically under control. With his bones broken, he could no longer pose a threat to the Allies.
Although having said that, escort is still needed. After all, there are Japanese aircraft on land. In order to ensure air superiority, the U.S. Navy will definitely send aircraft carriers to assist in operations.
"What about the weapons?"
Li Yian asked directly.
"Most of my people use weapons captured from Germany."
"We will provide you with the weapons you need."
General Holcomb said straightforwardly .
"My friend, believe me, we will provide you with everything you need, if you have a pilot, we can even provide you with a plane."
"General, I really There are pilots.”
Li Yian smiled.
"I have trained a group of pilots in North Africa. If there are planes, of course it would be the best thing..."
As long as there is a chance, I will definitely squeeze more from these Americans. Oil, after all, there are not many opportunities like this.
"My aviation fleet needs about 150 aircraft..."
