Chapter 587: Sharpening the Knife Huo Huo Xiang Niu Niu (I)


s: Something happened yesterday, sorry Wen Desi is also a person suffering from "selective amnesia".

His specific symptoms are as follows: he cannot remember anything in which he took advantage, but he always remembers things in which he suffered a loss.

Prison.

Of course, no one dared to treat him.

Therefore, this time he got the whole of Somalia and half of Kenya from the British, and he selectively forgot about it.

But he remembered the things that were set up by the British very clearly.

Moreover, Wen Desi has always been a person who wants to take revenge.

Since he has been tricked by others, he will naturally want to get him back.

As for how to deal with Britain, an empire that never sets, Wen Desi also has a lot of plans in his hands.

The staff officers at the General Staff Headquarters make various plans whenever possible.

Over the years, there have been a lot of plans against Britain.

It is definitely impossible to fall out directly.

If China went to full-scale war with Britain because of this matter, then countries such as Germany, the United States, and the Soviet Union would probably wake up from their dreams.

Of course Wen Desi would not be taken advantage of.

After World War I, the colonial system of old Europe began to collapse.

Of course, this collapse did not happen overnight, but was a slow process.

Although this process is slow, it is irreversible.

But even now, Britain, the former world hegemon, and France, the second most powerful country, still have a large number of colonies.

According to Wen Desi's plan, he was preparing to seize the greatest benefits from the collapse of the old European colonial system.

Even if you can't grab them all, you should bite off the most, juiciest and most delicious part.

Wen Desi now set his sights on the Malay Peninsula and Oceania, or to be precise, all the British colonies in the Pacific, Australia, New Zealand and the remaining islands.

Of course, by this time, the shrinkage of British power has reached its current bottom line, and it is impossible to obtain these territories through diplomacy.

It must be done once.

Somalia also came here.

If they hadn't beaten up the British African Legion during the Erathian Succession War, they wouldn't have spit it out honestly.

By now, the new territory acquired in the past few years has been almost digested, and Wen Desi is naturally preparing to implement the next expansion plan.

However, the acquisition of Somalia was actually just an accident, which is equivalent to hunting rabbits in the grass and picking them up for nothing.

In Wen Desi's plan, Somalia's priority is very low.

According to Wen Desi's plan, China's expansion goals during World War II were Oceania and Malaya.

Needless to say, the importance of Malaya.

Once the Malay Peninsula is acquired, it means that the entire Nanyang and South China Sea regions have truly become China's inland seas, which is of great value to China's strategic security.

Moreover, the economic potential here is also great, with considerable reserves of tin, calcium, gold, iron, oil and natural gas, and it is also a major producer of rubber and spices.

In Wen Desi's view, this British enclave is already an eyesore.

As for Oceania, let alone that.

Australia and New Zealand are both great places, and Wen Desi has been coveting this territory for a long time.

In addition to the British colonies, France's New Caledonia Islands are also a big piece of meat.

The nickel ore reserves here rank first in the world, accounting for about 25% of the world's reserves.

It is also the world's largest iron and nickel production area.

Australia has always been Britain's private territory, the kind that belongs to its own son.

In normal times, if anyone touches this place, it will be an all-out war with opium cattle.

But Wen Desi didn't want to start a full-scale war with Britain because of this.

This was not a question of whether he could win or not, but he was worried that he would become a "Lei Feng" and take advantage of the Allies in vain, so he stayed put.

However, the current situation is different from that of some time ago.

The Entente and the Allied Powers are now engaging in all-out force, and the fight is so intense that the British can no longer care about the Asia-Pacific region.

Therefore, there is no need for a full-scale war, but only a limited-scale local war to achieve Wen Desi's goal.

For Britain, although Australia is very important, it is still just a colony and cannot be more important than the mainland.

This "Yangon spy case" undoubtedly became a trigger, making Wen Desi determined to kill cattle and eat meat.

Of course, Wen Desi has always been particular about food and appearance, so naturally he has to have a reasonable excuse to take action.

However, when it comes to starting a war, a mere espionage case is definitely not convincing enough.

But, excuses can always be found as long as they are needed.

Even if we can't find them, we can make them ourselves.

This time Wen Desi prepared three cattle-killing knives for the opium cow, which were used in "Malaya", "Oceania" and the "Indian Subcontinent".

Wen Desi didn't want to kill the opium cow, he just wanted to cut off these large pieces of fat and delicious beef.

As for whether the Opium Cow will be willing, there is no need to worry about that.

At this time, they can't help but be unwilling.

Chase Mining Co., Ltd., Kuala Lumpur, British Malaya.

Chase Mining is the largest mining company in Malaya.

Of course, it is a Chinese-funded enterprise.

It controls more than two-thirds of the local tin ores, one-third of the oil and natural gas, and part of the iron ore and titanium ores.

Now the number of Chinese in Malaya has reached about 1.4 million, of which there are about more than 1 million local Chinese, and nearly 400,000 are staff of various mining companies and agricultural companies.

These people only work here for a long time, not all Move here.

Not only in Malaya, but also in British colonies such as Canada, Australia, India and South Africa, there are many Chinese-funded companies and a large number of workers.

This was all because the British had no choice but to make this opening.

During the Mediterranean War that year, the Chinese Navy captured three dreadnoughts from Austria-Hungary and Italy.

Because these ships had insufficient performance and little potential for improvement, the Chinese Navy looked down upon them, and finally sold them to the British who were in urgent need of battleships. .

However, at that time, Britain was also very tight and could not afford so much money, so China asked Britain to give up the colonial mineral development rights as compensation.

As a price for purchasing warships, in addition to paying 1 million pounds worth of materials, Britain also opened mining sites in colonies such as Canada, Australia, Malaya, India and South Africa to China, allowing Chinese companies to purchase land and build factories there. , as well as exploration and mining, with tax rates consistent with local companies and allowing China to send long-term staff to these locations.

However, due to the turbulent colonial independence movement that followed, India and South Africa, the two hardest-hit areas, have never stopped, and the sound of gunfire can be heard every day.

Under such circumstances, Chinese-funded mining companies in the area naturally developed very slowly.

The best developed countries are Canada and Australia, places with stable and peaceful societies.

The situation in Malaya is somewhere in between.

The colonial independence movement was also very active here, but the indigenous people here were not strong enough to fight, and they were soon brutally suppressed by the British imperialists.

Although the impact is there, it is not significant.

And there are several advantages here compared to other places, that is, there are many Chinese here, the civil society is much better than Australia, New Zealand and Canada, and it is very close to China, making immigration very convenient.

Therefore, the development speed of Chinese-funded mining companies here is the fastest among all British colonies, and the number of Chinese is also the largest, far exceeding that of Canada and Australia.

The number of Chinese here has increased rapidly since the 1920s.

Before the end of World War I, the number of Chinese in British Malaya was approximately 300,000.

This number includes early immigrants and new immigrants after the Opium War.

By the mid-1920s, after the Malayan independence movement was suppressed, the indigenous population dropped sharply, and the British colonial authorities, who were in urgent need of labor, were very overwhelmed.

If it were in the original time and space, they would introduce Indians, but this plane is different.

The Indian side is more noisy.

Before the independence movement broke out in the late World War I, there were about 2.5 million indigenous people on the Malay Peninsula.

By 1926, after the independence movement was basically suppressed by the British, there were only less than one million indigenous residents left, and most of them were still alive.

Women, children, and young men were all lost in the ten years of tug-of-war.

So in this case, they acquiesced to large-scale immigration from China.

Although they are very reluctant, on the one hand, they have reached an agreement on mineral development with China, and China has the right to dispatch workers to its own companies.

On the other hand, they cannot find other channels to replenish the local population.

Without a sufficient population, the resources here cannot be converted into national strength.

This is intolerable to Britain, which is in urgent need of supplements.

Therefore, no matter how reluctant they were, they could only acquiesce in allowing the Chinese to come over.

At this time, a meeting was being held in the small conference room of Datong Mining Company.

However, the attendees were not limited to people from Datong Mining.

Many of them were heads of local agricultural companies, fishing companies and other institutions.

"Dear comrades and compatriots, the latest instructions have been sent from China."

Lin Dengwan took out a document and waved it in his hand.

His face was glowing red at the moment, and his whole person seemed to be in a state of excitement.

Lin Dengwan's actual age should be almost forty years old, but externally he looks like a young man in his early thirties, with a good appearance.

He is the general manager of Datong Mining, and he is also the leader of the local Chinese forces.

More than 20 years ago, no one in Malaya knew about Lin Dengwan.

This man was a new immigrant from mainland China in 1912.

He immigrated here to inherit the inheritance of a distant uncle.

But within a few years, Lin Dengwan was able to thrive locally by relying on his connections with the country.

No one knows his true identity.

He has no distant uncle at all.

He is a high-level biochemical man.

He was sent by Wen Desi to organize the Chinese forces here.

Of course, there are many people who have the same mission as him.

Since 1907, Wen Desi has sent thousands of biological and natural people with special missions here.

After that, it took Lin Dengwan and his group roughly ten years to basically unify most of the Chinese forces by relying on financial resources and force.

Those who were disobedient, unwilling to cooperate, and stubborn pro-British factions were all suppressed by them in various ways.

Over the years, many comprador forces have killed entire families.

For example, Temasek's Lee family suffered a fire a few years ago.

No one in the family escaped, and everything was reduced to charcoal.

Now the "Malaya Chinese Mutual Aid Association" chaired by Lim Teng Wan is the strongest local Chinese force.

The number of Chinese who join the association has accounted for more than 95% of the total number of local Chinese.

"Mr.

Lin, is the country ready to take action against Malaya?"

a cadre asked quickly.

"That's right, we need to organize ourselves and do something first.

The country also wants to talk about eating habits, so we can help the country create some excuses," Lin Dengwan said with a smile.

"Hahahaha" everyone laughed.

"If you ask me, the country should have taken action long ago.

This place is our territory."

"Yes, this was our vassal state during the Ming Dynasty.

It should have been taken back long ago."

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

Everyone was gearing up and immediately started a lively discussion.

Lin Dengwan knocked on the table, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Everyone should pay attention, the excuses we make must have audio and video evidence.

After the meeting, everyone went to register with the Secretary-General and receive information.

Then plan a plan based on the information , and then submit the plan to Secretary-General Xiang, and then we will arrange for the filming team to go there.”

Next to Lin Dengwan sat a charming beauty, Xiang Yingxin, the secretary-general of the "Malaya Chinese Mutual Aid Association", looking at him with admiration.

Hey, by the way, President Lin’s private life is very rich.

Although he is not married yet, he has at least ten confidantes.

It is said that even the granddaughter of Sir Cliff, the Governor of Malaya, has an affair with him. .

"President Lin, this is just for making movies," a member said with a smile.

"No, it doesn't need to be that long, it's just a short sketch," Lin Dengwan said: "The most important thing is that our militia must be prepared and must protect our people in the next conflict."

A cadre said: "There is no problem with this.

Now most of our settlements have been fortified.

Even if they are not fortified, they still have strong walls.

And most of our militiamen are veterans who have retired from the front line.

The British in the local area There are not many troops stationed, and the fighting power of those natives is no match for us."

Everyone nodded and agreed.

Over the years, the Chinese in Malaya have gradually become more concentrated.

The residential areas outside the city have basically become fortified, and even the residential areas within the city can quickly form barricades after intentional or unintentional reconstruction.

At the same time, those newly built houses are basically built to a standard that can withstand light weapons.

Once needed, each house can become a fortress.

Although it is not as exaggerated as the "fortress city" built by the Chinese in the Dutch East Indies, it is not something that the local native army can easily handle
