Chapter 248: Who doesn’t have a blood feud (fourth update, please subscribe)
The world is not about fighting and killing, the world is about human relationships.
Why MacArthur was completely impatient with the Dutch envoy was not just because he looked down upon those guys who would only surrender with a white flag and then rely on the Allies to gain liberation. The most fundamental reason is that the Dutch will not give him any support, either politically or militarily.
But Borneo can provide military help, even if it is only two divisions, it is better than nothing.
After all, for every two divisions invested by the Allies, the US military invested one or two less divisions, which reduced casualties by thousands of people.
Isn't this delicious?
Very fragrant.
MacArthur did not want to be a general who won the war but was abandoned by the people because he shed too much blood. He even fantasized about participating in the presidential election.
So, he needs to reduce the casualties of the US military as much as possible.
In order to reduce casualties, he proposed to arm allies, provide weapons and equipment to allies, and let allies serve as the main force of the attack.
In order to reduce casualties, he even thought about the mosquito legs in Borneo.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still flesh.
I have to say that he is indeed very American. When he goes to beat someone, he always gathers a group of helpers.
But just as he said, when receiving MacArthur's telegram, Li Yian didn't even think about it and just asked his secretary to call back.
“We plan to form an expeditionary force consisting of three divisions, under the command of the Pacific Allied Forces Command, to participate in the holy war of attacking the Japanese mainland!”
Why didn't Li Yian refuse?
It is not just because "Operation Little Crown" is a matter of next year. If nothing else happens, the United States is very likely to drop an atomic bomb before and after the implementation of "Operation Little Crown".
I have been hungry for half a year. How long can little Japan survive after being bombed with two atomic bombs?
You can't just kneel down on the spot.
The one who knelt down in history was a neat guy.
In this case, his expeditionary force was of no use at all.
But the most important thing is participation - with MacArthur's permission, this means that he will obtain the right to station troops in Japan in the future, and his troops will be stationed in Japan no matter how the situation changes in the future.
Besides, stationing troops in Japan is only the first step. He has other plans for Japan, such as Japanese prisoners.
Li Yian, who has been inspecting the reclamation area for such a long time, is deeply aware of the harsh working environment in the reclamation area. If there is free labor available, why not use it?
Even the Japanese troops in Southeast Asia have long been included in his reclamation plan. These Japanese devils will go to Borneo to atone for their sins in the future!
As for whether he can survive, it just depends on luck.
"Expand the army!"
After calling MacArthur back, Li Yian immediately issued an order to expand the army. After all, the total number of security forces now only exceeds 60,000.
"Recruit an additional 60,000 people, and try to make them mainly domestic veterans..."
Thanks to the domestic disarmament, more than one million people were laid off last year. Although the good and the bad are mixed, the talents are still There are very few, if nothing else, just the tens of thousands of laid off military cadets, which is a very huge amount of human resources. Naturally, Borneo will try its best to use these human resources.
In fact, whether in the reclamation area or in the construction team, this group of officer students who have received basic military education play an extremely important role. Even the implementation of militarized management in Borneo is thanks to this group of officer students.
Military management is a major feature of Borneo's construction.
In fact, at the beginning, Li Yian did not deliberately promote militarized management, but the management could not stand it. They were born in the military, and the labor and management were basically all military cadets. Even those who were expelled from the military cadets, their military career left an indelible mark on them.
Although these people have never studied business management, they directly use the skills of soldiers in the production management process.
The effect of this method is not bad. Although I cannot say how high the production efficiency is, it can at least ensure the normal and effective operation of the company's production.
If you look at Foxconn in later generations, you will know that paramilitary management is still necessary for labor-intensive industries.
Moreover, in construction sites and reclamation areas, militarized management can indeed improve work efficiency to a great extent. Therefore, after Li Yi'an walked around various construction sites and reclamation areas, he found that these quasi-officer students We manage personnel and production in an orderly manner.
So now this management method has become the basic management method of labor in Borneo, nothing more, just familiarity.
After thinking about it, Li Yian said.
“You can also recruit some people from the reclamation workers and tell them...we are going to Japan! I believe there will be many people who are willing to go to Japan!”
…
Everyone wants to go to Japan!
When the news of the garrison recruiting an expeditionary force to attack the Japanese mainland came to the construction site in Borneo, every battalion commander was crowded with people, and everyone was asking a question.
"Sir, are you recruiting people to go to Japan to fight the little Japs?"
"Sir, when we get to Japan, can we set fire to their houses?"
"Sir, what kind of person do you want to recruit? Do you think I can do it?"...
People's mood is hot, but there is no way that the people's emotions are sincere, and they are harmed by the little devils. I have lived for eight years, and now I hear that I can go into the homes of Japanese people and harm them... No, I can go into the homes of little Japanese people. How can I not be excited?
However, the recruitment work is extremely...difficult!
The reason why it is difficult is because so many people want to go.
"Why don't you let me go!"
In front of the workbench, a man who was 1.8 meters tall yelled angrily.
"Why, what's wrong with me? I can carry hundreds of kilograms of wood alone. In terms of strength, I'm no worse than anyone else!"
glaring The man in front of the medical examiner yelled as if he had been wronged.
“Why, others can do it, but I can’t.”
"That's right, why can't we? Damn it, why can't we fight the little devils!"
The shouting in the camp made Zhang Shiliang frown, and then walked over, separated by a dozen Twenty meters away, he shouted.
"Big man Zhang, what are you yelling about? Show off your voice!"
"Battalion Commander, this guy with glasses doesn't want me to be a soldier. Say, say I don't, no. Those who are literate..."
As he spoke, the big man shouted loudly as if he had been wronged a lot.
"Why am I illiterate? If I can't read, I can't kill the kid. In the eighteenth year, the Japanese invaded my place. My brother took me to escape. When I was running away, I was shot through the stomach and intestines by the kid. It flowed out of the stomach. My brother held the intestines in one hand and dragged my hand up the mountain and ran over. On the top of a mountain, a person fell to the ground and died. When I went home again, my home was gone and there was no one in the village... If it weren't for the little devil, could I not study? "
When he got excited, the man tore his clothes apart, revealing several hideous scars on his body.
"Everyone knows that I, Big Man Zhang, have been a soldier. They think that I was drafted last year, but I am not. I am a deserter." The others were all stunned. They really didn't expect that he was a deserter.
“We joined the army at the age of sixteen and fought against the Japs for five years, but we have never been cowards! The year before last, when we were attacking the Japs’ artillery towers, we captured a Japs. The Japs’ legs were broken and they were still shouting, “ "The Chinese are dead, dead," I felt a fire in my heart at that time, so I sent him I picked him up with a bayonet, but my superiors said that I was going to kill the prisoner and wanted to kill me according to the military law. Before the execution, the fellow villagers risked beheading and let me go. In the past two days, we have been thinking about why we only The little devil is going to harm us, but we are not allowed to harm the little devil!”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was shouting all around him. Among the shouts of everyone, the voice of the man who became more and more excited became louder.
“Originally, when we came here, we just wanted to find a livelihood. When we got here, in the camp, the battalion commander, you, said that the rules here are different from those in China. If you encounter Japanese during land reclamation, just kill them. You can do whatever you want, as long as you don’t let him live! This is an open matter... So if we go to Japan this time, we have to die!"
After that, his big eyes will die! He stared hard at the clerk in charge of registration.
Looking at the scars on Big Man Zhang’s body, Zhang Shiliang walked over and said to the staff in charge of recruitment.
“This little brother, please be accommodating!”
"This, this... the boss said, yes, you have to be literate..."
"He has been a soldier, can shoot, and has killed Japanese soldiers, but he can't read..."
Tu Yes, Zhang Shiliang turned around and asked.
"Big man Zhang, can you write your own name?"
"I can write Zhang, but my name is too difficult to write..."
"Who are you?"
"Third."
Zhang Shiliang grabbed a registration form, stuffed it into his hand, and said.
"Put it here, write your name, Zhang San, draw three horizontal lines!"
After Zhang San wrote his name crookedly, Zhang Shiliang picked up the form and asked I filled it out for him, and then stuffed it in front of the recruiter's desk.
"Okay, he filled it out,"
"This, this is against the rules!"
"Rules are made by people,"
Zhang Shiliang said angrily.
“Who doesn’t have a blood feud? We must avenge this revenge!”
