Chapter 198: Prisoners, that’s money (second update, please subscribe)
Zamboanga, Borneo Guard Force Headquarters, Li Yi’an was looking through the information in his hand.
Because he will soon evacuate Zamboanga and head to Borneo, he needs to make more preparations for his compatriots here before leaving.
After all, humans are all emotional creatures, and they will always have a fondness for certain places. In any case, Zamboanga is his first stop when he returns to Southeast Asia, and he will have special emotions for this place. It is also a completely normal thing.
In this case, it is natural that there will be many preferences for this place. Special care will be taken, which is just a normal thing.
For example, weapons are provided to the local police force - in addition to 200 Colt pistols, there are 500 M1 carbines, 100 Avenger submachine guns, and even two German Sd.Kfz.232 wheeled armored vehicles.
If it were not for special reasons, he even thought that he could keep a few more mortars, but he gave up on second thought. After all, by the time the mortars are used, he would probably We can send troops here.
Just have a gun!
A strong gun is a coward.
As long as this Chinese police force is not disbanded, this city belongs to the overseas Chinese.
Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen their strength.
"It's a pity that there are too few people, less than two hundred people..."
But even so, there are still a lot of people. After all, there is only one person in Zamboanga right now. There are only 10,000 overseas Chinese, 200 Chinese policemen and hundreds of self-defense force members who can be mobilized at any time as a reserve force. In terms of quantity, it has reached its limit.
There is no way to expand.
However, during this period of military training, military training was also conducted for the overseas Chinese here. Military instructors were even dispatched to the school. According to Li Yian's plan, in the future, those Chinese schools must dispatch military instructors to provide military training to the students.
Why?
In the final analysis, it is because those native monkeys in Nanyang are really uneasy, and they often have no bottom line.
Be prepared!
With guns and military-trained overseas Chinese, they will at least have the strength to resist when faced with violence, instead of waiting to die.
“Otherwise, the captured Japanese rifles should be distributed to ordinary people’s homes and used as shotguns. When the jackals come, there will be shotguns...”
Just as Li Yian was thinking about this, a voice came from outside the office over there.
“Boss, Balikpapan, we have taken it down!”
Sun Delin raised the telegram in his hand and burst into the office with some excitement.
"Annihilated 5,632 enemies. The Japanese soldiers were so damn stubborn. They all fought to the end. No one was willing to surrender, so there were no prisoners..."
No prisoners again?
Li Yi'an, who was originally thinking about how to strengthen the strength of overseas Chinese, was stunned when he heard this.
“Oh, how could this be like this!”
Thinking about this period of fighting, there was no prisoner at all, which makes people wonder whether the resistance of the Japanese soldiers was too stubborn, or whether The brothers were holding their breath.
Based on the instinct of a successful businessman, Li Yian couldn't help but complain.
“Prisoners, this prisoner is also very important. I know everyone is angry, but just kill some to vent their anger. If you feel that killing them directly is mercilessly sparing them, then use a flamethrower. You can burn it or bury it alive. In short, just vent your anger and get angry, but you still have to keep some prisoners..."
"Why? Is it because of the Americans?"
Sun Delin was surprised for a while. The country also talked about "repaying evil with kindness". Whoever wanted to do it, he didn't want to anyway. On the contrary, here they pay attention to tit for tat, and even more to him and Brethren's Appetite.
"Are you tired of Americans? What did you say?"
"Americans?"
Li Yian was stunned for a moment and said.
"What the Americans think is none of my business. What I care about is the labor force! These prisoners are useful to us. Look at the rainforest outside."
Speaking of this, Li Yi'an specifically pointed Mountains covered with dense forests in the distance.
“Borneo covers an area of more than 700,000 square kilometers. When viewed from the air, it looks like a tropical paradise, with greenery everywhere and dense tropical rainforests everywhere. It seems beautiful, but in reality It's not a good place to go there - the dense, dark green jungle is full of venomous snakes and malarial mosquitoes; the island is covered with bananas, limes and papayas, and it's full of crocodiles, large lizards, poisonous mushrooms, poisonous spiders, and us. In the future, we have to live in a place like this. Not only do we need to live, but we also need to reclaim the tropical rainforest into plantations, but..." Glancing at Sun Delin, Li Yian sighed.
“But reclaiming the tropical rainforest requires labor, and malaria, miasma, and various tropical diseases in the rainforest can kill people. There are Japanese prisoners there to reclaim the rainforest. , we can kill less of our own people, which is better than killing them directly!”
He didn't care at all about the life or death of the little devils. What he cared about was how to squeeze out the last bit of value from those little devils before they turned into dead people. Then he added specifically.
"It's better to die from exhaustion or illness than to be shot to death to relieve our anger. Besides, it can also help us do so much work. Bullets... don't cost money. If we kill them with one shot, wouldn't it be too cheap? ”
The boss’s words made Sun Delin stunned and he extended his thumbs.
"The boss is smart. If those little days fall into the hands of the boss, life will definitely be worse than death."
Hey, how can you praise people so much!
However, this is also true.
"Boss, the brothers are holding their breath, and the Japanese soldiers are also very stubborn. When they start to attack, they lose their sense of control. I will send a telegram back to ask them to pay attention."
"What did you say? Send a telegram?"
Li Yian said directly.
"Can you send a telegram about this? I have to tell you this in person. Remember, we have never killed prisoners. It was the Japanese soldiers who resisted to the end, and we wiped them all out. If we kill prisoners, then This is something that only the Japanese can do, we are annihilating the stubborn enemy!”
When saying these words, Li Yian added.
"Send someone to fly over and deliver it directly as a verbal order. As for whether you listen or not..."
Will they obey this order?
It will definitely happen, but I don’t know how far it can be implemented. Maybe the method will be more subtle, such as some prisoners killing each other, some prisoners getting sick, in short, in a word, Definitely not keeping those little days alive.
Only a dead little life is a good little life, of course, except for little girls. Even in Zamboanga, there are more than a hundred Japanese little girls they rescued from the rainforest, some of them are expatriates and some are comforters. However, after a physical examination and confirmation that they have no infectious diseases, they are now given to older single overseas Chinese. Most of those overseas Chinese are unable to return to their hometowns and cannot find wives because of poverty. These women are just the thing to help them solve their personal problems.
This is a kind act, after all, those Japanese women will definitely starve to death if they stay here without anyone asking. After such arrangement, they will at least live a life without worries about food and clothing.
In the past, those old overseas Chinese had neither money nor land, but now they have used the compensation money to buy hundreds of acres of land. They may not be rich, but their lives will definitely not be a problem.
Speaking of which, those Japanese women are enjoying themselves!
"Battlefield discipline must be strengthened. In the future, prisoners cannot be killed at once. They must be kept as labor force. At least some must be left as much as possible..."
Some things cannot be forced, but can only be done by force. As much as possible, Li Yian can certainly understand the mood of the soldiers, and also supports it. After all, there is a grudge between the Chinese and the Japanese. This grudge is not the relationship between the invaded and the invader, but a blood feud!
Such grievances must be washed away with blood.
"Hey..."
Suddenly, Li Yian waved his hand and said.
"Forget it, no need to waste your breath. Brothers are angry in their hearts. Let them vent their anger. If they vent their anger here, they will still have to vent their anger when they come to Japan. There are not enough manpower here. , Let’s go to Japan in the future. Since they are preparing 100 million pieces of jade and are ready to fight to the death with us, then there must be soldiers everywhere, and maybe the prisoners of war will be enough!”
The prisoners of war must be enough! It's enough. After all, all the people in Japan are now soldiers. Even those teenage girls have joined some kind of national volunteer team, preparing to use daggers, bamboo guns and other weapons to resist the Allied attack.
One hundred million pieces of jade!
What a good thing!
Li Yian doesn't know whether they can all be broken into pieces, but when the time comes, it will still be possible to capture millions of prisoners of war.
Those prisoners, what kind of prisoners are they!
It’s basically free labor!
If there were millions of free Japanese laborers, no, Japanese prisoners of war who voluntarily underwent labor reform in Borneo, perhaps within a few years we would be able to cultivate large plantations large enough for tens of millions of immigrants to work and live. , and of course, there is the construction of the city.
The most important thing is that it is free - except for three meals a day, there is no compensation at all. Even the three meals a day can be reduced, as long as it can maintain life.
At this time, Li Yi'an seemed to understand why the loving father of steel used trains to dismantle the German factories and at the same time, he also loaded carloads of German men as prisoners of war into the trains and transported them home. Nine of the ten rooms were empty, and the prisoners either worked as construction workers for post-war reconstruction, or went to mining and logging in Siberia and other places.
Who doesn’t like free labor?
Thinking of this, Li Yian couldn't help but look forward to the good times when the Allied forces attacked the Japanese mainland.
I looked up at the calendar. It's June now. In one month, the atomic bomb...well, the atomic bomb in this world shouldn't come that early!
God bless, it can’t be so early. The people of Borneo are still looking forward to voluntary labor in the early days...
