Strait of Malacca.

The Strait of Malacca is a strait located between the Malay Peninsula and the island of Sumatra. The Strait of Malacca has a southeast-northwest trend. Its northwest end is connected to the Andaman Sea in the Indian Ocean and to the southeast to the South China Sea. With a total length of about l080 kilometers, the widest part of the strait is 370 kilometers in the northwest and only 37 kilometers in the narrowest part of the southeast.

At the entrance to the Strait of Malacca, near the South China Sea, a huge harbor is under construction, and a large number of small Japanese free laborers wearing uniform labor clothes are working intensively on the construction site of the harbor.

On the construction site, a large number of cement, steel, stone, bricks and other building materials are piled up, and on the construction site, you can see a lot of soldiers with loaded guns, and the soldiers are monitoring the work of these small Japanese free laborers.

There are also a number of engineers and technicians wearing hard hats on the construction site, who will provide technical support for the construction of this seaport.

Look at this embryonic seaport, construction has been under construction for some time, as early as the end of October, not long after the Chinese army launched a large-scale attack on the Japanese army through the Yunnan-Burma Highway.

The importance of the Strait of Malacca, Zhang Yunfei certainly knows that the Strait of Malacca is also a golden waterway connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, and the Strait of Malacca is also a choke point connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, and an important sea passage between Asian, African, Australian, and European coastal countries.

In later generations, the Strait of Malacca is now managed by three countries: Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. Now that China has become more and more powerful, the Chinese navy will also frequently enter and exit the Strait of Malacca, and the Chinese army is also fighting in Southeast Asia, this time, Zhang Yunfei will of course take the opportunity to control the Strait of Malacca.

So, not long after the Chinese army began to attack Burma on a large scale, the Chinese navy and marines occupied the area, controlled the entrance to the Strait of Malacca, and built a huge seaport here.

When the Chinese army was just starting to build here. The United States has also objected. However, it was strongly rejected by the Chinese side, which was completely necessary to eliminate the Japanese army in Southeast Asia.

The United States is busy fighting in Europe, and this matter is also over. The Chinese side began to build here in a big way. And shipped a large number of small Japanese free labor construction.

It's not far from Singapore. However, the current Singapore was not founded, and the area around Singapore was colonized by the British. After Little Japan came, the Japanese drove out the British army.

However, it didn't take long for the Chinese Marines to wipe out all the little devils in the area after landing here, and now, the area around Singapore is under the control of the Chinese army.

Although Singapore has not yet been founded, it is already very prosperous, because the port of Singapore is one of the largest seaports in Southeast Asia and is located in an important position in the Strait of Malacca.

Singapore's modern history dates back to the early 19th century, when Britain was expanding its footprint in India and trading with China. They urgently needed to find a port where their ships could anchor and repair in order to gain an edge in the trade competition with the Dutch.

In late 1818, Governor Raffles established a new trading port at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. When Raffles landed at the mouth of the Singapore River on 29 January 1819, he found it in a well-positioned position to develop into a harbour, with spacious waters that were spared from storms and an abundant source of water from nearby streams to provide clean drinking water for ships.

Initially, Singapore was under the colonial authority of British India. By 1820, Singapore was generating profits for the British Empire. In 1824, Singapore's colonial status was further established with the signing of two new treaties and the Straits Settlements in 1826. In 1832, Singapore became the seat of government in the Straits Settlements. On April 1, 1867, it officially became a direct colony of the United Kingdom, under the direct jurisdiction of the colonial office in London. By the beginning of the 20th century, Singapore had risen from a swampy wasteland to become the seventh largest port in the world.

When the Japanese army marched into Southeast Asia, the British completely underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, until the Japanese attacked Singapore by surprise, a small jewel in the crown of the British Empire. Singapore's unique geographical location at the gateway to the Strait of Malacca, the main shipping route between the Pacific and Indian Oceans, makes it a battleground for soldiers. As the political and economic center of Britain in Southeast Asia, Japan had to take Singapore in order to completely drive the British out of Southeast Asia.

Singapore has a dense overseas Chinese population, and it is the center of the anti-Japanese movement of overseas Chinese in Nanyang. The "Nanyang Overseas Chinese Relief Association for Refugees from the Motherland" led by Tan Kah Kee mobilized 8 million overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia to raise a huge amount of foreign exchange for China during the domestic War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Overseas Chinese in Singapore were hated and frantically retaliated against by Japan because they had previously vigorously assisted China in resisting Japan and organized volunteers to resist bravely.

However, now that the Japanese army has been wiped out, on the streets of Singapore, from time to time, you can see groups of soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms and holding AK-47 assault rifles, and the soldiers patrol the streets from time to time, on the one hand, to maintain social order, and on the other hand, to tell everyone that the little devils have been eliminated.

Singapore has been recovering for a while, but the freshness of the Chinese army has not faded, and from time to time there is talk of well-armed and mighty soldiers.

In a street teahouse, the windows are bright and clean, and on a table by the window, there are three tea customers, and these three people are discussing, the content is still about the Chinese side and the Chinese army.

"You know what? At present, the country has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it is completely different from a few years ago. ”

"It's no wonder, if there are no big changes in the country, how can there be such a majestic army, you see, the weapons of those soldiers are obviously several grades better than the 38-type rifles of the little devils before."

"But no, more than a month ago, I saw with my own eyes a soldier who took such a weapon and shot at once, killing four little devils at once."

More than a month ago, the soldiers had a fierce battle with the Japanese army in Singapore, and they also engaged in street fighting in the urban area.

After chatting for a while, the three of them unconsciously talked about the situation in Singapore.

"You know what? I have heard that we in Singapore are preparing to establish a state, a country to be administered by our overseas Chinese. ”

"Really!" The two people next to them were full of surprise.

The other man nodded triumphantly, proud and proud of being well-informed.

The other two people were also happy to see that the news was reliable, although there were many overseas Chinese in Singapore, but they were under the colonial rule of the British in the past, and later experienced the cruel rule of the Japanese army, but they did not expect that they would actually build a country.

Thinking of the founding of the country, the two of them were slightly excited, from now on, they will be the masters, and they will never live under the rule of others again.

However, the two of them were so excited that they immediately thought of something, and one of them quickly said: "We will build a country, and the British will agree?" ”

"Cut! You don't know that after the little devils in this area were eliminated, the British government wanted to take back Singapore, but it was strongly rejected by Chairman Zhang Yunfei. ”

mentioned Zhang Yunfei, and the other two suddenly realized that Zhang Yunfei's international image is that of a hardliner, even the powerful United States, Zhang Yunfei has never faked his colors, not to mention the United Kingdom, which has been mired in war and can basically only protect itself.

It was true that Singapore used to be a British colony, but now it is definitely not.

Most of the overseas Chinese in Singapore don't know, and even the person just now only knows a little about the situation, after the Japanese army in Singapore was wiped out, the British declared Singapore a direct colony.

Even some of the remnants of the British army scattered in the Malay Peninsula wanted to return to Singapore, but the Chinese government soon made it clear through diplomatic channels that Singapore was now under the control of the Chinese army, and all foreign troops entering the vicinity of Singapore would be informed.

Although Singapore is important, China's military strength is now very strong, and Britain absolutely does not want to establish a strong enemy, and the British government will immediately relent.

Thailand.

There are large areas of tropical and subtropical rainforest, and the dense and windy tropical rainforest is very humid, and although it is December weather, it is still relatively hot due to its proximity to the equator.

The hot and humid rainforest is full of dangers, not only a large number of poisonous plants, but also a large number of deadly dangerous animals, even a small insect can kill people.

It was in such a tropical rainforest that there was a group of 300 or 400 Japanese troops marching, but it could be seen from the tattered uniforms worn by this Japanese army that this was a fugitive army.

This is indeed a remnant unit of the Japanese army, a field infantry brigade of more than 1,000 people, and now only these three or four hundred people remain.

The Chinese army is already attacking Thailand, and several large cities in Thailand are under the control of the Chinese army, and this little devil is also a broken army, after being wiped out by the Chinese army in the battle a few days ago, this army actually fled into the nearby rainforest.

With China's large-scale attack on Thailand, the Japanese army in Thailand was defeated, some of the little devils were eliminated, some surrendered, and some became deserters.
