Chapter 807: The Founding of the Ryukyus

When the Chinese army and the Burmese Japanese army were about to engage in a strategic Armageddon, Zhang Yunfei's figure suddenly appeared at the Okinawa base.

The Chinese army's Okinawa base consists of three parts, one part is the Okinawa airport, one part is the Okinawa military port, and the other part is the huge military camp station.

Okinawa Airport has been repaired and expanded on the basis of its predecessor, and after several months of construction, the construction of Okinawa Airport has been completed, and fighter aircraft have begun to be stationed.

The Okinawa Military Port is still under construction, and the Okinawa Military Port has undergone a large-scale expansion on the basis of the former Japanese military port, and will be an important military port of the Chinese Navy in the future, which can dock aircraft carriers of tens of thousands of tons, and in addition, a large number of supporting facilities have been built.

Zhang Yunfei understood very well the importance of Okinawa's location, and attached great importance to the construction of the Okinawa base, not only allocating a large amount of funds, but also personally coming to inspect it.

In addition, the Okinawa military camp, as the main garrison of the Chinese army in Okinawa, is also undergoing large-scale construction, but the construction is nearing completion, and the Chinese army has specially carved out an area of several tens of square kilometers from Okinawa as the garrison of the Chinese army in Okinawa.

In addition, the headquarters of the Chinese army in Okinawa will also be located in this station.

Okinawa Airport.

A dedicated runway had already been prepared, and the commander of the Chinese base in Okinawa and a number of high-level officials were at the airport to greet him.

Today, Zhang Yunfei will secretly inspect Okinawa, and Zhang Yunfei will not only inspect the Okinawa base under construction, but will also meet with several important people in Okinawa.

Zhang Yunfei's meeting with these local figures was purposeful, and Zhang Yunfei intended to let Okinawa establish a separate state. It has become a vassal state of China, and these people that Zhang Yunfei is going to meet will form a group of important members of the Okinawa government.

Okinawa was originally not part of Japan, Okinawa has historically been a vassal state of the Chinese Ryukyus, but in 1879 it was occupied by Japanese forces, which was accustomed to aggression and expansion, and was destroyed and renamed "Okinawa" by Japan.

Now that Japan has surrendered and formed a pro-Chinese government, and China is also stationed in Japan, Japan is now obedient to China. Okinawa was established independently. The time is ripe.

Most of the people in Okinawa also expressed their desire to break away from Japan and establish a country on their own, and Zhang Yunfei happened to have this plan. This. Zhang Yunfei inspected Okinawa. By the way, the issue of the establishment of Okinawa will be discussed.

The people waiting at the Okinawa airport were all Chinese military personnel, and this time, Mr. Zhang's itinerary was not made public. At the moment, only a few high-ranking members of the Chinese army in Okinawa know.

Comrade Chen Geng, commander of the Chinese base in Okinawa, led several senior commanders to stand at the airport with anticipation and excitement on their faces to greet Zhang Yunfei's arrival.

Comrade Chen Geng, who used to be a brigade commander of the Eighth Route Army, now holds the rank of lieutenant general and serves as the commander of the Chinese base in Okinawa.

A large plane, escorted by several Mustang fighters, appeared in everyone's sight, and Zhang Yunfei's special plane came.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Shenyang Aircraft Factory, which is a large aircraft factory, began to design and manufacture large passenger aircraft with about 50-70 seats, and Zhang Yunfei's special plane is an upgraded version of this passenger aircraft.

In this era, passenger aircraft with about 50-70 seats are already large passenger aircraft, and this kind of passenger aircraft uses four-engine propeller engines, although the comfort cannot be compared with the current Boeing or Airbus, but it is also very good.

Zhang Yunfei's special plane began to land on the runway in everyone's excited eyes, taxied, and finally stopped, Zhang Yunfei was the first to get out of the plane, and when he saw the people who greeted him, Zhang Yunfei smiled and waved.

Chen Geng led everyone to walk over quickly, and held Zhang Yunfei's hand tightly excitedly, "Chief! Welcome to Okinawa for inspection and guidance. ”

Zhang Yunfei's smile was very kind, "Commander Chen, you have worked hard, and the burden on your body will not be light in the future!" ”

"Thank you, Chief! We will live up to expectations and build the Okinawa base! Protect the peace of the whole of Okinawa. Chen Geng expressed his position on behalf of everyone.

Zhang Yunfei said with a smile: "Commander Chen, in the future, it can no longer be called Okinawa, and it will be called Ryukyu in the future." ”

"Yes!" Chen Geng stood upright, and immediately said loudly.

After the founding of Okinawa, Zhang Yunfei had already decided to change it back to its original name, and Comrade Chen Geng, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese side in the Ryukyus, naturally knew about this decision.

At the airport, Zhang Yunfei shook hands with the other comrades in command who had come to greet him, and then, accompanied by everyone, Zhang Yunfei first inspected the Ryukyu Airport, where the capital construction had been completed.

Looking at the huge airport and the perfect ancillary buildings, Zhang Yunfei was in a happy mood, and when he inspected, he couldn't help but encourage everyone.

As a commander, Comrade Chen Geng's face was even more excited and red, and with Zhang Yunfei's encouragement, the hard work of the past few months suddenly turned into infinite motivation.

During Zhang Yunfei's inspection of the airport, Chen gave a more detailed report on the situation of the entire Ryukyu base, which includes three parts, including the navy, army, and air force, and after completion, it will garrison about 50,000 troops, deploy three squadrons of Mustang fighters, and will also deploy reconnaissance planes and early warning planes. The Ryukyu military base will also deploy early warning radars.

After inspecting the Ryukyu airport, after lunch, Zhang Yunfei did not rest, but went to the Ryukyu military port to inspect.

Zhang Yunfei looked at the huge military port under construction, and his heart was also surging, but he didn't show it on the surface.

On the construction site of the military port, there were not only local Ryukyu laborers building, but also more than 2,000 little Japanese coolies, all of whom were prisoners of the Chinese army, and these little Japanese coolies were all wearing uniform coarse cloth clothes and working hard.

In the entire military port, there are still many soldiers with loaded guns, armed with AK-47 assault rifles, who are watching these little Japanese coolies work.

At present, the number of small Japanese coolies captured by China and used as coolies has reached hundreds of thousands, and in order to facilitate the management of these little Japan, every Japanese coolie wears uniform coarse cloth clothes, and each piece of clothing has the number of each Japanese coolie on it.

Each Japanese coolie is not only numbered, but also specially registered, and if these Japanese coolies perform well, the Chinese side has promised that after five years of service, they will be free and can return to the Japanese mainland.

The public commitment of the Chinese side gave these Japanese coolies a glimmer of hope, and although the heavy manual labor was very hard, these little Japan rarely resisted or passively sabotaged their work, but worked non-stop every day, performed well, and fought for their freedom as soon as possible.

Accompanied by Chen Geng and others, Zhang Yunfei took a closer look at the huge Ryukyu Military Port, and when Zhang Yunfei inspected the Ryukyu Military Port, Chen gave a detailed report on the progress of the construction of the entire military port.

When he learned that in two months, the entire military port would be completely completed, Zhang Yunfei smiled again.

After inspecting the Ryukyu Military Port, Zhang Yunfei went to the Chinese military camp in the Ryukyus, and Zhang Yunfei not only inspected the barracks, but also stayed overnight in the barracks at night.

The next day.

In Naha, the capital city of the Ryukyus, Zhang Yunfei met with several well-known locals in the Ryukyus, who were not Japanese, but all of them were born and raised in the Ryukyus, and some were even of Chinese descent.

Ryukyu has been a vassal of China since ancient times, and since the Tang Dynasty, there have been Chinese immigrants to Ryukyu, and by the time of Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, immigration was even more prosperous.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, saw that the envoys from Ryukyu to China had difficulty navigating at sea, and specially gave the Fujian people 36 surnames who were good at shipbuilding and navigation to move to Ryukyu.

This was not only the key to promoting the Ryukyus' overseas trade in the future. After these 36 Min surnames settled in the Ryukyus, they began to multiply, so there are many Chinese descendants among the Ryukyu natives.

In addition to the Chinese descendants, there are also real Ryukyu natives whose ancestors have been breeding in the Ryukyus since ancient times, and in ancient times, the Chinese called these people "Nanban".

As for the Japanese in the Ryukyus, they were all later, and after the Japanese invaded and occupied the Ryukyus by force, they emigrated from the Japanese mainland.

Received by Zhang Yunfei in person, these well-known local people in Ryukyu were also full of expectations in addition to excitement, as everyone knew that in the future, Ryukyu would become independent and become a country, and there would be a strong Chinese army to protect them.

When Zhang Yunfei met with these people, he made it even clearer that the Chinese garrison would not participate in the local governance of the Ryukyus, that the governance of the Ryukyus would be completely autonomous, and that the Chinese side would not interfere.

Zhang Yunfei's clear statement that these people are naturally grateful and grateful, and China's non-participation in the governance of the Ryukyus is enough to make these people grateful.

The Chinese army is already stationed in the Ryukyus, and the new government of the Ryukyus will also bear the military expenses of the Chinese garrison.

At this meeting, both sides were very happy, Zhang Yunfei's goal was achieved, and the Ryukyus side not only was very grateful to the Chinese government, but also unconditionally accepted China's "proposal" not to own an army, and also to bear the military expenses of China's garrison in the Ryukyus every year.

After meeting these locals, Zhang Yunfei saw that it was still early, and Zhang Yunfei was ready to take a boat to Diaoyu Island to have a look, and Zhang Yunfei was ready to board this small island in person.

Chen felt slightly strange about Zhang Yunfei's proposal to go to the Diaoyu Islands, because there was no such item in Zhang Yunfei's itinerary.

However, since it was Zhang Yunfei who proposed it, Chen Geng could only start preparing immediately.
