900, three holes of cunning rabbit
(PS: Today is the Great Singles' Day!) All the singles, on the road to stripping, must learn from Bai Shujie: The Three Holes of the Cunning Rabbit. If a woman can't do it, just grab three in your hand, and then hire the best! )
The demand for territory and raw materials was one of the most important objectives of the Japanese military government's expansionist policy.
To achieve this goal, the Japanese would inevitably start a war.
To wage war, you need fuel, that is, oil.
And the oil is in the hands of the Americans, the British, the French, the Dutch.
What is "Hobson's Choice"?
In 1631, when the English merchant Hobson sold horses, he released them for customers to choose, but with the condition that "only the horse closest to the door should be selected." ”
Obviously, after adding this condition, it is actually equivalent to not allowing selection.
This so-called "choice" with no room for choice was ridiculed by later generations as the "Hobson selection effect".
There is a saying in China: It is better to die a bald donkey than to hurt a fellow Taoist.
In order to curry favor with the Japanese, the Americans acquiesced in and vigorously supported the Japanese invasion of China, and the implication could not be clearer: "If we supply you with oil and steel, you will not have to go to Southeast Asia to seize our territory." ”
It's that simple!
"For the sake of the interests of the United States," the Roosevelt administration believed, "an oil embargo should not be imposed on the Japanese, lest the Japanese launch a military campaign against Southeast Asia in order to obtain oil resources." ”
As for Roosevelt's later sacrifice of the entire Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor, so that the United States had a reason to get rid of the shackles of "isolationism" and enter the war, it was not for the sake of so-called justice.
Rather, it is because they believe that the time is almost up, and that more than half of the strength of several major powers has been consumed, and they should do their best to clean up the mess and use the smallest losses to obtain the greatest global strategic benefits.
As it turned out, Roosevelt was right.
Because of him, the United States has become a global hegemon and a great strategist of a generation.
That's all, it has nothing to do with so-called justice.
If it was really for the sake of so-called justice, on September 18, 1931 and July 7, 1937, they should have stood up and "presided over justice".
The political hooligans who claim to be "defenders of justice", have they presided over justice? No!
There was a human disaster of 300,000 ** massacres in Nanjing, did they come out to preside over justice? No!
Bai Shujie does not have the ability to change the whole world, nor does he have the ambition to be a world policeman and uphold the so-called "international justice".
This time, he first took the territory of the Americans, and ordered Geng Fengbiao to capture a group of American soldiers, Bai Shujie wanted to express his anger, and at the same time match the Americans and the little devils together as soon as possible to break their wrists.
He just hopes to use his great supernatural ability to "know the past and future", take a shot from the fire at a critical time, and slowly strengthen his strength in the slit.
Then find the opportunity to come out of nowhere, do a little trick, punish some hateful little devils, and start doing some things you want to do.
Geng Fengbiao's 2,200 men were like thousands of horses, and a whirlwind blew across the Borneo Islands, and the places they passed were almost as small as locusts transiting.
Except for not killing people or insulting women, everything else was basically done.
This is too absolute, in fact, he has killed people. Otherwise, Geng Fengbiao would not be able to use just 2,200 people to be able to rule the South China Sea and do whatever he wants.
Here's how it went.
There are a lot of factories, a lot of people, and a lot of boats in Bandar Seri Begawan. Among them, of course, there were "big" Japanese imperial merchants, engineers, and so on, who had signed a treaty of friendship with the British.
Since people are subjects of the "large" Japanese Empire, they generally have their own tempers, and they are eye-catching.
As a result, Geng Fengbiao "requisitioned" factory equipment, "requisitioned" cargo ships, and "requisitioned" all kinds of warehouses, and the "big" subjects of the Japanese Empire naturally did not do it.
In order to do the ideological work as well as possible, do not affect the overall situation. Geng Fengbiao gave an order, and drew out a platoon of troops to specialize in "ideological and political work." The work took place over three days and was aimed at the subjects of the "great" Japanese Empire.
The work was productive!
In just three days, the ideological work has been thoroughly completed. Telephone poles on both sides of the road near Bandar Seri Begawan are already full of human heads.
It is said that there are people who are in a good mood and there are more than 60 heads in total.
Ideological and political work is a powerful weapon. Once the ideological problem is solved, we will be able to get twice the result with half the effort and achieve immediate results.
Dozens of large cargo ships, the smallest of which are 20,000 tons, are rampage day and night throughout the South China Sea, the East China Sea, and the Yellow Sea.
Anyway, in order to ensure safety, Bai Shujie dispatched 12 high-altitude and high-speed strategic bombers modified overtime 24 hours a day during the entire transportation period.
As soon as a suspicious sea area was detected, dozens of tons of depth charges were dropped. As a result, not a single submarine hair exploded, but it killed a lot of big fish.
In this way, the little devil's impatient heart was finally suppressed, so he had to hide in the bed and sulk.
The Americans, because they have hostages in the hands of others, do not dare to speak loudly now.
Because Bai Shujie's soldier Bandar Begawan is doing ideological work, the Americans already know about it. They are all civilized people and do not need others to come and do ideological work.
Although the British are despicable and shameless, the British Isles are so lively now that they have to guard against the baptism of German mustache bombs every day, and they can't take care of it at all.
The Philippine monkeys jumped up and down, and they originally had some ideas, but the general representative of the American master, the Philippine Emperor MacArthur, resolutely disagreed with his troops going to sea for tourism, so he didn't let it go.
However, a heavy cruiser "Canberra" in Australia came out and wandered around, and as a result, a 6-ton cloudburst bomb landed in the air 800 meters away and exploded, almost sending the battleship to the sky. This is a warning that you don't want to kill people immediately, so in the end, you can only cry with your tail between your legs.
After attracting everyone's attention to Bandar Seri Begawan, Geng Fengbiao arranged for two companies of marines to drive the captured 48 "Willys light reconnaissance vehicles" that had just been equipped by the US military, and their daily task was to mount heavy machine guns and light machine guns on the vehicles, and then patrol back and forth along the coastline.
The Marines of the other eight companies slept during the day and worked at night, and no one knew what they were doing.
It turned out that Bai Shujie knew that the boundary of the South China Sea would soon be unpeaceful, and now occupying places like Bandar Seri Begawan could only be temporary.
The little devils will not be idle, and neither will Churchill. As long as they have their hands free, they will make a big move here.
The little devils are swarmed by land, sea and air, the arrogant MacArthur has become a lost dog, and Lieutenant General Wainwright plays the game of captivity. Churchill will come up with some kind of bullshit "Z-Fleet" and let the little devils play a game of aerial bombing.
Although these game processes are exciting and exciting, Bai Shujie feels that his body bones are not strong enough to withstand tossing, and he can't just mix them around.
It is with this in mind that 10 "Phantom" submarines with an underwater displacement of more than 6,500 tons are tasked with transporting supplies every night, and the destination is the landing sites of Chindonan Island and Abbor Island.
Bai Shujie meant two things: first, the sea conditions between Chindonan Island and Abbor Island are complex, and the coral reefs in them are dense. While there is nothing to do now, it is possible to go in and find a hidden passage so that the submarine can get through at any time, and it can play its best role at a critical time.
Secondly, Busuanga Island is 64 kilometers long and 26 kilometers wide, and there are no people on it, so naturally it will not attract anyone's attention. In addition, the surrounding coastline is densely populated with caves and complex undercurrents, making it a good place to hide.
In the past, the distance was too far for Bai Shujie to send supplies from the Korean Peninsula. Now that all kinds of equipment and supplies have been confiscated from the Japanese devils and the British devils, it is really a mountain of piles.
Bai Shujie had not been to Kolun Island and Busuanga Island, but he knew some about the relevant information, so he gave a preliminary opinion, and the specific operation depended on how Geng Fengbiao, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, played on the spot.
After more than a month of tossing back and forth, Geng Fengbiao first transferred the materials needed from the land to El Nido, and then used the submarine to carry out the secondary transportation. Because there are too many reefs, the speed is slower than ants at first.
On the one hand, sonar detection is used, then the search for nearby iconic islands, and then the nautical chart is drawn to determine the future shipping course. On the other hand, it is also necessary to keep it secret and not to be active in broad daylight.
After more than half a month of secret exploration, I finally found the big hole that Bai Shujie said in a bay on the southeast side of Aber Island.
The height of the cave is more than 30 meters, the width is about 20 meters, and the water depth is about 9 meters. The depth of the cave is more than 600 meters, the mouth is small and the abdomen is large, the width inside is more than 200 meters, and the water depth has reached 20 meters.
There is absolutely no problem with docking 20 submarines here, and it is indeed a pure natural submarine concealment base, as well as an overhaul and maintenance base. In fact, this place was very famous in later generations and is also the most visited diving ground.
It doesn't matter if there is no submarine maintenance platform, because Bai Shujie has made it very clear in the secret order: "Select two freighters with a length of about 110 meters and a width of about 18 meters to drive in and anchor them on both sides, which is the secret base of the marines in the future and the supply base of the submarine." ”
Finding such a good place, Geng Fengbiao transported all the captured British fort equipment by ship, and then set up 6 secret forts on the island based on the harbor beach, all equipped with British 16-inch (406mm) shore guns.
In this process, Geng Fengbiao used 24 freighters to sink or sit on the beach to complete all the fuel, food, weapons and ammunition reserves. With these things, it is not a problem at all to generate electricity and lighting.
Bai Shujie finally requested: All the commanders and fighters of the First Regiment of the Marine Corps should continue to hold out here for a year and a half. During this period, as soon as the little devils show signs of launching a full-scale attack, the places they occupy now are immediately abandoned and retreat with the fastest movements.
Everything that should be moved has been moved, and the rest are things that are not of much use at the moment. After making a mess in the South China Sea, Bai Shujie ordered the bomber formation to start withdrawing, leaving 12 "Black Widow" attack planes to patrol nearby. Once you find that the situation is not right, after hanging up the auxiliary fuel tank, you will quickly run to North Korea.
As for the 2 destroyers captured, Bai Shujie gave them to Capone. Because this guy didn't know where to collect more than 600 people, the total number of people was already 1,000, and the original 2 destroyers were not enough for a long time.
Now, the secret base on the island of Bashigo has been transferred to Capone. He can usually swagger and wave the American flag, and when he finds the target, he puts the flag away and then starts grabbing.
So far, Bai Shujie's second layout in the South China Sea has basically been achieved.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
