Chapter 2231

From Percival's point of view, he had fulfilled his responsibility by being willing to testify for Angie in court, and the rest was out of Percival's consideration.

In another time and space, Percival had 14 troops, and faced with the attack of [-] Japanese troops, he retreated steadily, and finally chose to put down his arms and surrender.

The casualties of the Japanese army during the entire Malay campaign were less than 14. At the cost of [-] British troops, Parcival achieved the great reputation of Yamashita Fufumi as the "Tiger of Malay".

Asking for help requires an attitude of asking for help, and Parcival's attitude is obviously incorrect.

"Our intelligence is wrong. The Japanese have no plans to attack Malaya in the short term." Angie now finds it stupid to remind the British.

This is also normal. Nowadays, all countries have their own intelligence systems, not to mention the British. Before the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, the Russians also turned a deaf ear to the reminders from southern Africa and the United Kingdom.

The same goes for Americans.

Southern Africa also sounded the alarm to the Americans after the Imperial Conference.

The U.S. War Department expressed gratitude for the reminder in southern Africa, but it also failed to raise the defense level of Pearl Harbor, where the Pacific Fleet was stationed.

However, the Americans transferred all the three aircraft carriers deployed at Pearl Harbor back to the mainland, which is very intriguing.

Since the European War, the importance of aircraft carriers to the navy is beyond doubt. The United States has never built a battleship since 1939, but it has built 11 aircraft carriers in one go.

The current strategy of the United States is to put Europe first and then Asia. The Pacific Fleet has 3 aircraft carriers, 9 battleships, 20 cruisers, and nearly 3 other warships. If the fleet is used as a bait, then the price of this bait is a bit high.

Of course, this may also be Americans taking precautions.

After all, no matter from which point of view, Japan has no reason to defeat the United States, so the Americans are also betting.

"General An Qi, regardless of whether the Japanese have plans to attack Malaya or not, we should strengthen cooperation to jointly maintain peace in East Asia." Parcival had a complicated expression, and he probably also scolded An Qi for being shameless in his heart.

War is no joke.

The Indian Ocean theater just reminded British Malaya a day ago to be alert to the Japanese attack.

But now he changed his claim that the intelligence was wrong, and that he would be sent to a court-martial for dereliction of duty.

An Qi looked at Parcival smiling and not speaking, her attitude was obvious, I don't need your help to testify in court.

At the same time that Parcival came to the Changi Naval Base, the Changi Naval Base was organizing the evacuation of non-combatants to East India and Australia.

Although the Changi Naval Base has a solid defense, after all, it is located on the front line, and there are still dangers. The East India and Australia located further back are safer.

According to the plan of the Indian Ocean Theater, non-combatants at the Changi Naval Base will be withdrawn in batches to Coconut City in East India and Darwin Port in Australia, both of which are safer than the Changi Naval Base.

East India and Australia have nothing to say, and welcome this decision very much.

Especially Australia.

After the outbreak of the European War, the relationship between Australia and southern Africa became better than ever. The Australian army went to Europe to fight with a total of seven divisions with about 12 people, and the Australian troops who stayed at home to strengthen defense had a total of ten divisions with a total strength of more than 17 people.

This part of the force is under command of the Indian Ocean theater.

Changi Naval Base is a military port. Most of the civilian merchant ships heading to Coconut City and Darwin Port depart from Lion City, and Changi Naval Base will send warships to escort them.

As the most important British colony in Asia, Lion City has always been valued. The Straits Settlements is one of the earliest British colonies in Southeast Asia, and the main residents are Chinese.

There were also many whites who settled in the Lion City before. After the independence of the East India, many East Indian whites also went to settle in the Straits Settlements, which exacerbated the population density of the Lion City.

Since French Indochina opened its borders to Japan, British Malaya has faced the threat of war. Smart people know that Japan will launch an attack on British Malaya sooner or later. As time goes by, more and more people want to leave the Lion City This also makes it hard to find a ticket to leave the Lion City.

In order to better facilitate the Changi Naval Base, the Lion City opened Pier B to the Changi Naval Base, and the management of Pier B was also taken over by the Changi Naval Base.

Now those on duty at Pier B have been replaced by Marines stationed at Changi Naval Base and sailors of the Changi Squadron.

These two arms are easy to distinguish. The uniform of the Marine Corps is a navy four-color camouflage, and the sailor uniform is a traditional sea soul shirt and a white sailor cap with black cloth strips.

There was no clear dividing line between Pier B and Pier A. After the Changi Squadron took over Pier B, a cordon was drawn at the center of the two piers and a separation zone was set up. The Marines on duty were on the cordon, and the other On one side are Indian policemen in red turbans.

"Hey, buddy, do you want a bite?" An Indian policeman greeted the Marines on the opposite side of the separation zone.

"Thank you, no need to—" The marine thanked politely, and could not drink alcohol during work.

Police officers are also not allowed to drink alcohol while on the job.

But these Indian police are difficult to manage, they don't care about these regulations.

This is not bad, more often the Indian police ask the marines for cigarettes.

The cigarettes issued by the marines in southern Africa are high-end.

"Your regulations are too strict. Relax, buddy. The Japanese haven't called yet—" The Indian policeman relaxed, took out a silver wine jug, took a sip, took out a pack of cigarettes, and told the marines hint.

The marines smiled and waved their hands to refuse. It would be better for the Japanese to call, please, call quickly.

Coincidentally, the Indian police thought so too.

Of course the purpose is definitely different.

The marines were looking forward to the Japanese coming over, the purpose was to get military medals, and they hoped to kill a few more devils.

The Indian police were looking forward to the Japanese calling, mostly so they could get off work early.

As for after the Japanese call, will they still rely on the Indian police to maintain law and order?
Sorry, this question is too esoteric for Indian police who have never been educated.

At this time, a large group of white people hurried over with their families, their luggage and their dogs.

The Indian policeman with a big turban cursed in a low voice, and he didn't forget to take a deep breath before throwing away the cigarette he had just lit. After the big-toed leather shoes crushed the cigarette butt, he went up to him with a serious face.

"Gentlemen, the front is the military administrative area—"

"Go away, don't block my way!" The leading middle-aged white man pushed the Indian police away with a tyrannical attitude.

The middle-aged white man was panting, sweating profusely, his face was flushed abnormally, and he was obviously not in good health.

The logistics provided by the Straits Settlements to the Indian police is still good. Although the big turban does not stand or sit, the body is quite strong.

But the strong Indian policeman was pushed to the ground by a weak middle-aged white man.

The big turban rolled exaggeratedly on the ground, then lay down with peace of mind, closed his eyes and pretended to be dead, motionless.

The expressions of the people around were wonderful, and the people with good intentions even whistled.

The corner of the mouth of the big turban who was pretending to be dead twitched, and immediately returned to a state of being motionless.

The middle-aged Caucasian man didn't stop. He didn't care about the life and death of the big turban at all. He lifted the isolation belt directly, without looking at the marines on duty next to him.

The marines didn't talk nonsense, and immediately raised the rifle with the bayonet attached, pulled the bolt and pushed the bullet to load.

"Hey, hey, stop, don't let go, I'm British, we're all British—" The middle-aged Caucasian man's feet seemed to be equipped with brakes, and there was white smoke from the violent friction, and there were black spots on the asphalt ground. skid marks—

"Sir, the front is the military management area, please exit immediately—" the marines said righteously.

In the same words, the effect is completely different.

"Sir, we are British, all of them are British, we need to get out of here as soon as possible—" the middle-aged white man desperately explained, and other people around him chimed in.

"The goddamn Japanese are coming, please let us go, I don't want to die here—"

"We are all British, and we should enjoy the treatment of leaving here early. Is there a first-class cabin on the ship?"

It's really polite to know how to use "please".

"The military should serve the people, isn't that what you Southern Africans have always advocated—"

This is true, but the southern African soldiers serve the southern Africans, not the British.

"Gentlemen, if you need to leave, please contact the Governor of the Straits. We are the Southern African Marine Corps, and we only provide services for southern Africans." The marines were neither arrogant nor humble.

Don't be angry.

There are too many things like this, if you get angry every time, you will not live to be so big, you will be angry to death long ago.

White superiority has a long history, especially in Southeast Asia.

These people are not bad, there were a few who broke in yesterday, and they are still locked in the small black room.

"If the Governor of the Straits has a way to let us leave, why should we look for you?" The middle-aged white man was confident.

These words sounded very reasonable.

The marines didn't talk nonsense, and their indifferent expressions were not accommodating.

"Look at this watch, it's a new model just released this year, you let us on board, this watch is yours." The middle-aged white man took off the watch and tried to bribe him.

The marines frowned and inadvertently revealed their wristwatches. The middle-aged Caucasian man instantly looked embarrassed.

Watches are also graded.

There is also a difference in the distribution of Yitnuo.

The so-called new style of the middle-aged white man is actually the style launched by Yituo last year.

The point is that middle-aged white men's watches are not as expensive as marines' watches.

Middle-aged Caucasian men's watches are ordinary models.

On the wristwatches of the marines, the diamonds inlaid at the twelve o'clock position sparkled in the sunlight.

Is high diamond production enough to be so luxurious?

It's too much!

"Sir, do me a favor, you have brothers and sisters too—" A lady with a puppy tries to play the sentimental card.

The puppy in the lady's arms was very arrogant, barking at the marines.

The marines cast a seemingly casual look, and the puppy immediately became quiet.

Quieter than a turban still lying on the ground.

"They can all board the boat, why can't we?" a young white man complained.

Not far away, the southern Africans preparing to evacuate are boarding the ship in an orderly manner under the guidance of the staff.

This is a well-equipped luxury cruise ship with a visual displacement of about 2000 tons. Under normal circumstances, such a ship can accommodate at least [-] people. If it is crowded, it will be doubled.

Of course, in that case, comfort will definitely not be guaranteed.

There are absolutely no more than 1500 southern Africans waiting in line to board the ship.

Most of the 1500 people are the elderly and children. In fact, women are also within the scope of evacuation, but not many women choose to leave the Changi Naval Base.

Most women in southern Africa also choose to receive regular weapon training. Needless to say, at the Changi Naval Base, military families are also soldiers when they take up arms. They are unwilling to leave their homes at this special moment and choose to be with their husbands. With the total death.

Children don't need to take risks, they have a bright future, so move to a safer place.

Old people don't want to leave if they can, but children always need someone to take care of them.

"Because they're Southern Africans," replied the Marine with pride.

The current British Empire is no longer the former "Empire on which the sun never sets".

Unfortunately, many British people do not accept this fact.

"Aren't we human?" The middle-aged Caucasian man secretly changed his mind.

"This question should be asked of the Governor of the Straits." The marines had a playful smile on their faces.

Same people different lives.

"It's too much. We are British, and we are also qualified to board the boat." The lady holding the dog was very angry, and the southern Africans not far away had already started boarding the boat.

"That's right, we are also qualified to board the ship—" The middle-aged white man waved his chubby hands, shouting dissatisfiedly, and was about to step over the isolation zone.

"Stop or I'll shoot, first warning!" the Marines snapped.

"Fake, they would never dare to shoot!" The middle-aged Caucasian man said that he was upright, and stopped while speaking stiffly.

At this time, more marines and sailors rushed over for reinforcements, and the snow-white bayonets were lined up in a row, as if they had been measured with a ruler.

"Your guns should be aimed at the enemy, not us civilians—" The lady holding the dog's eyes turned red. These southern African soldiers are too cold.

"This is the military administrative area, please leave immediately, this is the second warning!" The marines were unaccommodating, and the British were even more ruthless during the Opium War.

"God, who will save us, we just want to get out of here--" the lady holding the dog fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

This is the rhythm of crying, making trouble and hanging three times.

"Ma'am, if you want to cry, please go back outside the military management area." The words of the marines really made the lady cry.
