Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2259 Someone actually welcomed the Japanese colonization
If you look closely at the United States and Japan, the process of the rise of the two countries is similar.

Before the 20th century, both the United States and Japan had bosses. The boss of the United States was Britain, and the boss of Japan was the Qing Dynasty.

Both the United States and Japan took advantage of the boss's lack of time to develop insignificantly, and succeeded in gaining power by defeating old colonial countries. The United States defeated Spain, and Japan defeated Imperial Russia.

During the First World War, both the United States and Japan entered the market at the most suitable time, becoming representatives of gaining the greatest benefit at the least cost, and then developed the habit of opportunistic and profit-oriented.

In fact, the same is true for southern Africa. Soon after independence, the real nation-building war was ushered in. Unlike the United States and Japan, which chose old empires that had already declined, the nation-building battle in southern Africa was the First World War. A brand new Southern Africa.

In this time and space, Rock will not leave Japan to the Americans to clean up. Southern Africa is fully capable of carrying out two large-scale wars at the same time. The British are not angry at delaying time in North Africa. Compared with Europe, Rock is more concerned about Asia.

In a sense, southern Africa should be grateful for Japan's expansion.

Without the expansion of Japan, the colonial pattern of European and American countries in Asia cannot be easily broken. France controls French Indochina, the United States controls the Philippines, and the Malay Peninsula is the sphere of influence of the United Kingdom. All kinds of racking their brains, until now the actual control area is only the Changi Naval Base. . .

Just a naval base, bought from the UK.

Now the situation is much better than before, the United States has lost the Philippines, France's rights in Indochina have also been transferred to southern Africa by Charles de Gaulle, let alone the Malay Peninsula, the British can easily abandon Kuala Lumpur, and it will be difficult to come back, Johor has already Started to organize the army to cooperate with southern Africa to fight, which was impossible before.

Johor State is the former Johor Kingdom. In 1885, Britain signed a treaty with Johor, and Johor lost its administrative power.

In 1914, Britain and Johor amended the treaty, changing the agent stationed in Johor to a resident officer. According to the new treaty, Britain could appoint a British person to serve as an official in Johor.

In order to better control Johor, the United Kingdom adopted a single colonial economy in Johor, increasing Johor's dependence on the United Kingdom. Johor's national defense was also in charge of the United Kingdom. Before the outbreak of the World War, it did not even have its own army.

This is very bad for the Kingdom of Johor. If the United Kingdom earnestly performs its duties as the suzerain, then the safety of the Kingdom of Johor is still guaranteed.

The problem is that the British only plundered Johor but did not build it, and did not take the Johorese at all. Therefore, when the Changi Squadron came to buy more land to expand the area, the Sultan of Johor readily agreed. This is obviously Vote certificate.

The Sultan of Johor is nominally the king of Johor, but in fact he is very sad, without any rights, he is a mascot in name.

Now that the Sudanese are in Australia, they obviously don’t have the consciousness to live and die with Johor. The Johor army was formed by a man named Li Ye. He is a Chinese born in Johor. His family owns plantations and palm oil processing factories. Before the outbreak of the Malay War Li Ye was very smart to sell all his plantations and factories, and emigrated to East India with his family.

Now Li Ye's family members are all in Yecheng, and Li Ye himself is in Lion City. He and An Qi have a very good relationship and often drink tea together. Without An Qi's help, Li Ye would not be able to form an army even with all his wealth.

With Angie's help, building an army is easy.

The Japanese army advanced all the way to the south, and many refugees fled into East India, most of them were Malays and Filipinos, and some were Annanites.

Li Ye recruited the army under the banner of Johor State, and then hired instructors from the umbrella company for training. After a few months, he would be able to go to the battlefield.

With the help of An Qi, the process was simplified, and the two East Indian divisions transformed into the Johor army, ready to go to the battlefield immediately. Li Ye was full of ambition overnight, hoping to unify the Malay Peninsula.

"The biggest resistance to the unification of the Malay Peninsula is not the Japanese, but the British. How are you going to deal with it?" An Qi hoped that Li Ye's ambitions would be bigger.

The British shit-stirring attribute is everywhere. The Malay Peninsula actually has a unified foundation, but it was integrated into a loose federation by the British, so that the British can maintain their rule in the Malay Peninsula at the lowest cost.

The British are not only good at this, but they are not complete political divisions, and they continue to provoke the relationship between the various races in the Malay Peninsula. The Chinese living in the Malay Peninsula have become victims of previous conflicts because of their relatively good economic conditions. As a result, the Chinese in the Malay Peninsula are more dependent on the British, and they need the protection of the British more.

"In the past, we Chinese living in the Malay Peninsula didn't dare to do anything. We didn't even have the right to hire bodyguards. We could only be slaughtered by others—" Li Ye gritted his teeth when he mentioned the British. Every time there was a conflict, the Chinese suffered heavy losses. , the Chinese in the Malay Peninsula have blood feuds with European colonists including the British.

"Now that the world war is breaking out, the British are too busy to take care of themselves. I am going to imitate Southern Africa as the first step to strive for greater autonomy. I will first become a British dominion and become independent after reaching a certain level of strength." Li Ye has his own limitations. The best solution he could think of.

"Why not do it in one step?" An Qi's smile was full of encouragement. Southern Africa can offer Li Ye more than Li Ye imagined.

To save Southeast Asia from the colonization of European and American countries, only the efforts of southern Africa are not enough. The key is to have the local people in Southeast Asia take action.

If Johor became independent after the end of the world war and the British government intervened, then southern Africa could reasonably pull out the sidelines. Just look at the process of the Brazilian Civil War to know how powerful the sidelines are.

"Is it possible?" Li Ye was very excited. He still didn't say in the second half that if Johor can become independent under the leadership of Li Ye, then Johor will join the Southern African Union just like East India.

This is also a nomination certificate, withdrawing from the Commonwealth to seek refuge in Southern Africa, and changing the door is to obtain the protection of Southern Africa.

For those who are ambitious, the status of a slave country is definitely not as good as that of a completely independent country. After East India joined the Southern African Union, it became a standard resource exporting country. It will never become a powerful country like Southern Africa. vassal.

Of course, it's not bad. The leaders of all countries want to develop their country into a powerful country.

The problem is that the conditions are limited. Japan has worked hard from top to bottom for nearly a hundred years, but it still has to be stuck in various ways by the United States and southern Africa. To develop into a powerful country requires many necessary conditions. The external conditions of area, population and resources are indispensable. These conditions Johor Obviously not available.

Therefore, for a country like Johor, it is most important to rely on a more reliable boss. Even if Li Ye doesn't want to, Southern Africa has a way to force Johor to take the initiative to seek refuge.

There are many benefits to joining the Southern African Union. The internal tariffs of the Union are very low, and the tariffs for exporting various industrial raw materials to Southern Africa from the Union countries are almost zero. The savings are all profits.

The same goes for imports.

Union countries import various industrial products from Southern Africa, and the tariffs are also very low. In Europe, an ordinary car costs 900 pounds, while in the Union countries of Southern Africa, the price of an ordinary car does not exceed 500 rand.

This is also a boon for the wealthy in the Union countries, as well as for the middle class.

"Of course you can. You have an army now. Even if London wants to interfere, the instructors of the Umbrella Company are best at mountain warfare and guerrilla warfare. You are also backed by Changi Naval Base and Lion City. You don't need to worry about logistics supplies. Even if the troops fight If you lose, you can also withdraw to the East Indies to rest—” An Qi earnestly said that Britain must have suffered a great loss after the war, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

For Britain, the Malay Peninsula is not important, otherwise Britain would not be so careless.

Take a look at India, who spends his money to serve the British. He is hungry and wants to send grain to the UK to feed the cows.

Egypt is also sadly reminded that Britain can allow Egypt to be independent, but it will never give up control of the Suez Canal, which is the lifeblood of the British.

Compared with India and the Suez Canal, the Malay Peninsula is dispensable. Britain has a Lion City in the Strait of Malacca. As long as the Malays don’t cause trouble for the UK, the British will be thankful.

The UK has only a few requirements for the Malay Peninsula, just don't make trouble for me.

Otherwise, the British and Indian troops would not retreat so happily, and try the Japanese army attacking India instead?

In another time and space, the Japanese tried it, and then they were beaten by the Allied forces. The Indians who were vulnerable in the Malay Peninsula, even after drinking the water from the Ganges River, were still the same, and the Chinese performed well.

"It's great. The British have failed the trust of our Malays. They have colonized the Malay Peninsula for hundreds of years. I was easily abandoned like this. There is no credit but hard work—" Li Ye's reason is very strange, it seems to be Love breeds hate.

An Qi is not worried about Li Ye's ability.

For Southern Africa, Li Ye is just a backup option. If Li Ye's behavior after the war is not in the interests of Southern Africa, then Southern Africa has a way to praise Li Ye, and also has a way to beat Li Ye down.

The two East India troops put on British uniforms at Changi Naval Base and went directly to the front line to perform combat missions.

After the Marine Corps successfully landed in Kuala Lumpur, the retreat of the Guards Division and the No.18 Division has been cut off. Yamashita Fufumi should be very worried now. Compared with the Philippines, the situation on the Malay Peninsula has completely collapsed. .

After Saigon Airport was destroyed, the surrounded Guards Division and No.18 Division completely lost air support. The East India Army is continuously arriving in the Malay Peninsula. The three aircraft carriers of the Indian Ocean Fleet also arrived at the Changi Navy a week ago Base, prepare for the decisive battle with the Combined Fleet.

Two days ago, the Changi Naval Base received information that the combined Japanese fleet had left its home port for sea, and the destination was most likely the Changi Naval Base.

The Japanese Combined Fleet came out in full force this time, and the battleship "Yamato" that just entered service in December last year was also dispatched with the Combined Fleet. This is the most threatening opponent of the southern African navy. become the Achilles' heel.

Of course, it is not easy for "Yamato" to get close to the aircraft carrier. The reconnaissance planes in southern Africa keep taking off from the airport in Borneo. There are submarines from the East India Fleet and Changi Squadron cruising under the sea. The attack of the combined fleet has lost its suddenness. The miracle of the attack on Pearl Harbor cannot be replicated.

Pearl Harbor is located in the center of the Pacific Ocean, and the combined fleet only needs to bypass the US base in the Pacific Ocean to launch a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.

The Changi Naval Base is under heavy protection. If the combined fleet wants to launch a surprise attack on the Changi Naval Base, it needs to bypass East Indian Borneo, bypass the countless island groups around the Changi Naval Base, and bypass the intelligence that has been painstakingly managed for many years in Southern Africa. Net, that's simply not possible.

The Japanese Combined Fleet also knew it was impossible, so they did not hide their whereabouts at all. They traveled all the way south from the Japanese mainland and arrived in Manila, Philippines on March 3.

At this time, Manila has become a standard military city. All the residents within ten kilometers around the port have been relocated. The Filipinos showed amazing obedience when facing the Japanese. They don’t seem to mind accepting Japanese rule. .

It is amazing to say that the Allied Forces pride themselves on upholding justice, but many people in Southeast Asia welcome the Japanese invasion, thinking that it is the best chance to get rid of the colonization of European and American countries.

A single colonial economy makes it difficult for colonies to get rid of colonial control by virtue of their own capabilities.

For many Southeast Asians, there is no difference between accepting the colonization of European and American countries and accepting the colonization of Japan. They even look forward to the colonization of Japan, hoping that Japan can bring them some better changes.

The colonization of Asia by European and American countries has lasted for a long time. After the Sino-French War in 1885, Vietnam became a French colony.

In 1897 and 1909, the British formed the Malay Federation and the Malay States, and began to colonize the Malay Peninsula.

The Philippines has an earlier history of accepting colonization. As early as 1565, the Philippines was invaded by the Spanish.

From 1565 to 1942, nearly 400 years have passed, Southeast Asians have contributed countless wealth to European colonists, and they have hardly changed.

So not only the Philippines, but also Thailand is more inclined to cooperate with Japan, because Japan mediates the dispute between Thailand and Indochina and favors Thailand.

The Burmese are also in contact with the Japanese, hoping to form the "Myanmar Independence Army" with the help of the Japanese, and send 30 young people to receive training from the Japanese army.

This is the biggest difference between Chinese and Southeast Asians.

The Chinese may fall into a trough for a period of time, but the Chinese never give up their struggle. They have been invaded by foreign enemies many times in history, and they can still rise from the ashes in the end.

Southeast Asians are too weak, or not smart enough. Without the help of external forces, they would never be able to get rid of the colonization of European and American countries.
