Chapter 670: Ambition towards Malaya (Fourth update, please subscribe)
"...This is a great victory, and all doubts disappear in the face of victory."

While Margaret was reading the New York Times report, Li Yian lazily shrugged his shoulders and said.

"It's just a tactical victory. We have to take a longer view of the entire war."

Whether it was the victory at Inchon or the counterattack in Pusan, in the final analysis, they were only part of the war.

On the issue of the Peninsula War, in the final analysis, Li Yi'an puts the interests of Nanyang first, and treats other countries based on interest considerations. The spirit of internationalism will not appear in his mind.

Moreover, he also needs to consider many other issues, such as the expansion of Tangshan's influence on Southeast Asia and Nanyang as the victor after the Peninsula War, such as the export issues he had to face.

These are realistic considerations. Even on the Malay side, the armed struggle of the People's Liberation Army also affects Li Nian's plan for Malaya. Not only that, the armed struggle of the People's Liberation Army has also caused the second largest population in the world. The Malays emerged as winners. In order to prevent Malaya from falling into the hands of the FMLN and causing Malaya to change its color, the British colonial authorities fully supported the Malays while agreeing to allow Malaya to become independent. Umno, a political party representing the interests of the Malays, became The biggest winner.

The problem in Malaya must be resolved, and it must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise, after the Peninsula War, the situation in Southeast Asia will be even worse.

"Dear, if the United States is so dominant on the peninsula, will it make our situation very embarrassing?"

Margaret asked directly.

But he was thinking about another issue - the thousands of war criminals secretly captured by the Ministry of Justice's special operations team from Japan, including the murderers of his "family".

Over the next three years, millions of troops fought across the peninsula. In this world, what form will this war take?
Li Yian couldn't help but look forward to it. After all, compared with the other world, the Tangshan army in this era was stronger. When the Soviet Red Army attacked the Northeast, in order to reduce their own casualties, they used captured German weapons in the Zhangjiakou area. Ba Ye, and because of this, Ba Ye became the pioneer in regaining the Northeast. They had even been to Seoul once before.

"Doubt? It's no longer a question. Next, it depends on whether the Americans can control Marshal Mai who is interested in politics! As for whether it is embarrassing or not, it doesn't matter."

In January this year, Shigeru Yoshida hinted in his policy speech that given the international situation at that time and Japan's current situation, Japan could only take the path of independent peace. The Japanese government claimed in the diplomatic white paper published that year that with the help of the United States, Japan had reached a state of "de facto peace." Since then, the Japanese government has frequently exchanged visits with the United States, and has negotiated and reached agreements with the United States on issues such as the conclusion of treaties, troop garrisoning, and Japan's rearmament.

This was Marshal Mai's promise to the soldiers, but what happened in the end?

Looking at the unopened petition letter, Li Yian fell silent. From his standpoint, of course those prisoners could not be released, but they could not be detained forever.

Just a few days ago, Truman appointed State Department adviser Dulles as the president's special representative for peace with Japan. This opened the way for the United States and Japan to negotiate a separate peace. If nothing unexpected happens, next year the United States will exclude Tangshan, hold a peace conference with Japan in San Francisco, and sign a "Peace Treaty with Japan" to negotiate a separate peace. By then, the time will be ripe for the special court to try Japanese war criminals.

Li Yian shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile,
"What can Americans do now? It's just a few whining words. After all, Americans still need our help when it comes to Asian issues. At least this year, they won't take any substantive action. As for next year, Let’s wait until next year. All I can say is, I hope the American soldiers can come home before Christmas.”

"After all, we have always questioned their ability to operate on the peninsula."

However, under Li Yi'an's instruction, the International Special Court did not convene immediately, but only quietly investigated the evidence. The reason why is because the timing is not right.

Later, in order to transport immigrants, Nanyang repeatedly dumped supplies at the port of Tangshan-Japanese rifle machine guns, mountain guns, howitzers and ammunition.

Go home for the holidays before Christmas.

"By the way, I read in the newspaper that the United States hopes that Nanyang will release Japanese prisoners of war, right? A few days ago, I received a petition from the families of Japanese prisoners of war forwarded by the International Red Cross, hoping that we can release the prisoners of war."

In the end, "Go home before Christmas" became the loudest "black joke" during the Peninsular War. Even in the following decades, whenever people mentioned going home before Christmas, they would think of this joke.

As Margaret spoke, she took out the petition letter and handed it to Li Yian.

After all, transporting talents is the most important thing for Nanyang. It's really not intentional. But this was all before last year, so even if someone brought it up to talk about it, it wouldn't be a problem.

These war criminals should be brought to court for trial. After all, their hands are stained with the blood of too many compatriots, and the sins they have committed must be washed away with blood.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has informed Japan that it is impossible to release prisoners of war in a state of war."

Li Yian said in an extremely calm tone,
"Although the war is over, Nanyang has not made peace with Japan. The two countries are still in a de facto state of war. Therefore, as long as there is no peace, the prisoners of war will not be released. Of course, for humanitarian considerations, we will Regularly release some actively reformed prisoners of war.”

What is an actively reformed prisoner of war? Of course, in order to leave the prison camp earlier, those guys would expose each other, betray each other, and even frame others.

Are they human?
No, they are just a group of ruthless, lawless, immoral, and shameless scoundrels. Those scoundrels will tell lies with their eyes open and their mouths open for profit. They tell lies without conscience. They are so ridiculous and shameless that they don’t know what morality is. , etiquette, justice and shame are all bullshit. In Li Yi'an's plan, he wants to use the prisoners of war released in this way to change Japan's national character and turn them into a group of people who believe in pragmatism, interests first, and interpersonal relationships. There is no trust, no responsibility, moral decay, profit-seeking, intrigues, and intrigues.

And society is reverse elimination. What kind of impact will the existence of such a group of miscellaneous people have on Japan?
Li Yi'an is looking forward to this. He is looking forward to the day when Japanese society's morality declines.

To a certain extent, this is also a means he uses to curb Japan's development.

"So when will we make peace?"

Margaret asked,

"I always need to give them a reply."

"When all war crimes are accounted for and war reparations are paid."

Li Yian said straightforwardly,

"I don't care what stance other countries will take, but the losses in Nanyang cannot be wiped out by a group of prisoners of war."

Although Nanyang dismantled a lot of machines from Japan, they were dismantled by themselves. Is this considered compensation?

Of course not!
Is it such a good thing to sign a peace treaty before compensation for damages?

In fact, at the San Francisco Conference, Southeast Asian countries strongly demanded that Japan pay huge war reparations and demanded that Japan's domestic industrial equipment be relocated to these countries as compensation.

At that time, Nanyang can also contact these countries and insist on the issue of compensation. Although more than half of Japan's factory equipment has been dismantled, there will always be some left. Those industrial equipment will be handed over to Southeast Asian countries. It is better than leaving it to Japan, which can always limit Japan's rise.

On the other hand, as far as the urine of Southeast Asian countries is concerned, even if there is industrial equipment, industry may not be able to develop.

Therefore, when it comes to the issue of reparations, Nanyang will definitely stand on the side of the Southeast Asian countries. Of course, it can also pull Britain to its side.

Thinking of England, Li Yian naturally turned his attention to his wife, so he said to Margaret.

"However, the most important thing at the moment is the transfer of industries. After all, transferring industries to Malaya is very important for the economic development of Nanyang. Other things can be put aside first."

As smart as Margaret, she looked at her husband and said.

"Honey, what do you think about Malaysia? Do you need me to help you?"

The reason why she asked this was because she knew her man very well. If he didn't have ambition, he wouldn't even bother to look there.

But once he fixates on a place, he will pay close attention to that time. This attention must have been through some commercial means at the beginning.

Well, that's more subtle.

Facing his wife's question, Li Yian nodded directly.

"I do have an idea, but industry transfer is only the first step. However, I think maybe you should take the children back to London around Christmas! Go and see your father, what do you think?"

Of course, it's not just about looking at King George VI. The important thing is that he needs Britain to understand... Only Nanyang can stabilize the situation in Malaya now.

And all this must start with industrial transfer.
