“Here they come, they are coming!”

Suddenly the closed port gate opened, and people on the roadside all agreed in unison Standing on tiptoes, he looked towards the open door.

The streets outside Kuantan Port slowly became quiet, and only then did people hear the faint roar coming from the harbor.

People couldn't help but hold their breath. They distinguished the rhythmic roar in their ears. It was the roar of the motorcade, and it seemed to be mixed with some other sounds. It was thick and soul-stirring. With an exciting rhythm.

"Pearl...bless..."

The people standing at the intersection made a commotion, mixed with countless deliberately suppressed exclamations.

“Look, the Nanyang army!”

“It’s infantry!”

No, it’s Marines!

Although trucks were available, the Marines did not ride in them, choosing instead to walk into the city.

Arranged in a neat phalanx, the Marines stepped onto the land of Kuantan.

The Marines looked forward firmly, and no one turned their eyes to either side. The formation was solid and neat, and the solemn momentum roared from the port gate like a tsunami, full of oppression.

The Marines are completely dressed in combat attire, wearing camouflage combat uniforms, round-brimmed "bunny hats" on their heads, oil paint on their faces, and tactical vests on their bodies. The fully armed Marines, Just like that he broke into people's sight.

Their march was completely different from that of the British army. Thousands of pairs of combat boots made a roar when they stepped on the ground. The officer leading the team stood on one side of the team and marched with them.

Such solemnity and majesty gave the people of Kuantan the most profound impact in the most direct way.

"It's just a group of infantry..."

Some people muttered this, and of course some couldn't help but think to themselves, these people really look different.

But what’s the difference?

No one can tell, but looking at these soldiers who are looking intently, in the orderly footsteps, the nameless tremor makes everyone's hearts tremble.

"Jane... bless!"

For these skinny locals, this kind of impact is something they have never experienced before, even when they accidentally come into contact with these people with oil paint on their faces. When the soldiers' eyes collided, they all quickly averted their gazes.

Then they desperately adjusted their mood to adapt to the impact that these soldiers in front of them had on their hearts.

And even more shocking!

People’s hearts are shocked!

Just when the visual and mental impact of the infantry squadron had not subsided, an even stronger stimulus followed - the tank convoy was already roaring and slowly driving over.

The roar of the diesel engine rolls in like thunder in the rainy season. Along with the approaching roar, people felt that the ground beneath their feet was shaking, and even the air above them was shaking.

Tanks, the Malays are no strangers to tanks. After all, Japanese tanks and British tanks fought on this land. Logically speaking, they should be used to it.

But today, when tanks from Nanyang roared on the streets of Kuantan, amidst the roar of diesel engines and blue smoke, these tanks were like giant beasts coming out of the sea, trembling. It touches people's hearts and shakes the earth.

The rubber tracks grinding against the ground made a uniform sound, the low roar of the diesel engine echoed in the air, and the exhaust pipe sprayed light blue smoke, covering the entire tank queue with a layer of light blue smoke. Smoke filled the air. Such smoke makes the scene somewhat mythical.

The slender barrel on the tank allows everyone to intuitively feel the power it contains. This power is beyond the power of the body to resist.

If the previous infantry only shocked people's hearts, now many people are already frightened!

"... bless you!"

When listening to the surrounding natives praying for blessing, the smiles on the faces of the Tang people became thicker and the children sat on their shoulders. The men on the bed said in a showy tone.

“Did you see that, that’s our Tang people’s tank!”

"Our Tang people's tanks!"

When they said these words, they looked at the surrounding natives with proud eyes. At this moment, the suppressed emotions seemed to be released.

Once upon a time, they suffered injustice.

Once upon a time, they endured humiliation and heavy burdens.

And now?

After seeing the army from Southeast Asia and seeing these tanks, everyone seemed to have found a backbone. Their originally bent waists straightened up, and the humble and obedient flattery on their faces turned into laughter. At this moment, they were completely different from the past.

“Nanyang!”

I don’t know who shouted first, and then the shouts merged into one.

"Nanyang, Nanyang..."

People's shouts echoed in the streets of Kuantan, merged with the roar of tank engines, and the helicopters still hovered in the sky. The people's shouts became louder as the helicopters roared over people's heads.

At this moment, the dragon is showing off!

And what about those natives who once enjoyed themselves so proudly?

They all looked like they were mourning for their heirs. The original emotion they should have shown was that of sadness and humiliation.

But what they are showing now is a kind of helplessness, a kind of resignation and acceptance.

At this time, these people who once swore in front of the British that "if I am not independent, I would rather die" became numb again.

Although their faces looked like they were mourning for their heirs, there was no humiliation or sadness, but more helplessness.

I accepted my fate.

The British and Nanyang people are just different people. Of course, their hearts are also full of unwillingness, because... why are they Nanyang people, why are they those Tang people.

But in front of the strength displayed by Nanyang, they became as docile as lambs.

"This is human nature!"

Standing on the balcony and looking at the lamb-like natives on the roadside, Adam Wells, the colonial administration's special commissioner in Kuantan, was leisurely holding a glass of Whiskey, he said lightly while holding his hand on the balcony railing.

"Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. Once upon a time, I thought they would stand up and oppose resolutely, but now? Look..."

Pointing to the street with a hand holding a cigar, Adam said.

“They are like lambs, completely lacking the courage they had yesterday.”

"Sir, this is because..."

Dornier adjusted his glasses frame and said in a contemptuous tone.

“They didn’t dare to bet on whether Nanyang would shoot.”

“Colonel, so they were convinced that Britain would not shoot?”

Adam asked rhetorically.

"No,"

Colonel Dornier said, shaking his head.

“They are convinced that Britain cannot send many troops here, but they believe that Nanyang will send many troops here, because, as we all know, Nanyang is not as weak as Britain.”

“ Colonel, you know..."

Adam shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said.

"The truth hurts."

"It hurts, but it's just the beginning," Dornier continued.

"They have just entered here. When the power of those natives is compromised, they will definitely stand up. By then..."

Looking at the army on the street, he said Neil sneered.

"They will face a difficult choice..."
