Zhu Tian: The Fiery Years Begin with Taking Qin Huairu as a Concubine

Chapter 352 Rubbing Wheat

Now we are going to attack the Republic of Borneo. According to intelligence, the enemy has more than one million or even two million mercenaries. What a heavy price we will have to pay! ?
But MacArthur also knew what the United States meant, and it was not because of Japan's affairs.

If left alone, the Republic of Borneo will become the largest country in the world after annexing Australia.

If the economy develops, it will pose a threat to the United States over time and shake its dominant position.

.....................

When he thought of this, he once again felt disappointed with the stupid Dutch and extremely angry with Great Britain.

A greedy person will try to swallow an elephant, and a greedy person will try to eat the moon.

The fact that things have come to this point has a lot to do with the little Dutchman.

World War II was over. If it weren't for the Dutch's evil ambition to take over India and allow India to become independent smoothly, there would not have been the rise of a unified Republic of Borneo.

You know, even Great Britain is gradually giving up its overseas territories.

The United States now wants to fight this war, but it is neither justified nor justified.

Others will tell the truth!
When the Dutch attacked Borneo, you, America, didn't care about it. Now that Borneo is fighting a self-defense counterattack, you, America, are going to intervene! ?

Because of the Japanese issue, even Great Britain's allies have now backed off, citing a lack of funds as an excuse. They don't want to get involved at all and it's hard to persuade them.

It is really hard to persuade Great Britain. They lost more than 100,000 people in Singapore because of Japan. Now they want Great Britain to join the war for the Japanese! ?

If such an order were really issued, civil war would probably break out in Great Britain that very day.

Zhang Kaiwu also has the status of an honorary earl, which is actually more useful than a duke!

MacArthur knew that the powerful people in Great Britain had a very good relationship with Earl Zhang. That group of people had become rich by relying on Earl Zhang, and there were many secret transactions that could not be revealed.

It is simply impossible to get Great Britain to participate based on personal relationships alone.

Even if the United States now has many advantages in weapons, if it fights the Republic of Borneo alone, how much will the country have to pay in a war?

He knew very well that those European countries were now hiding away to watch the joke, and even if the United States won the war, it would still suffer heavy losses.

Because this is destined to be a war with no gain. Even if we win this war, it will not bring any benefit to the United States!
And those Japanese people, now I am fighting to protect them! ?
The American soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Will this cause civil unrest in the United States? ?
to be frank!
He had no interest in fighting this battle. If possible, he didn't want to fight at all, and it was impossible for him to win glory!

And the mastermind behind this incident was Zhang Kaiwu, and he was also very familiar with Zhang Kaiwu.

There was a thick stack of information about Earl Zhang on the table, and there was no indication that Zhang Kaiwu was an arrogant person.

In the past, Princess Ning Ping relied on the power of Great Britain to support her independence.

They launched a series of economic suppression and blocked the food supply lines. Later, they decisively cut off the food supply lines because the Japanese and the United States fell out.

They easily used the indigenous people to defeat America's ally Australia and blocked its food supply lines.

Using public pressure and simple emotional provocation, the surrounding countries were not involved in this matter at all, and the Eastern European Russians were made to jump around.

Use the opponent's force step by step, and hit the vital point with each step.

Japan's series of food problems and its method of boiling a frog in warm water all show that this person is a very difficult opponent.

Zhang Kaiwu occupied all the righteousness and quietly pushed Japan into a desperate situation. How could such a powerful man be an impulsive fool! ?
The Republic of Borneo must have a backup plan that can turn the tide against the United States.

That arrogant country that often shouts that 100 million people will die in glory is probably really going to die in glory this time.

………………

MacArthur called his adjutant and asked him to secretly recruit hundreds of thousands of Japanese ground troops, put them in American uniforms and train them.

From now on, the ground attack mission here will be handed over to the Japanese.

The adjutant looked embarrassed!

MacArthur asked curiously:

"What's wrong with this?"

The adjutant said:

"They had no food last winter. About one-third of the population had starved to death in China, and they had no food supplies. The key is that we want to recruit people now, but we don't have the supplies to satisfy such a large number of people."

"The Strait of Malacca is blocked. There is no food supply line for ships now. Even our food has to be airlifted at a high price. Airlifting from Midway Island or Thailand is just enough for our own use. We can only wait for the wheat from Japan to come out this year before we can have supplies."

Damn it! It’s the food problem again!
When will the powerful American army need the army to do logistics work?
MacArthur calmed down and said slowly:

"No hurry! It's the rainy season in the Republic of Borneo, so it's not suitable for attacking. You should prepare food first."

The adjutant continued awkwardly:
"There is another problem now. They don't have much food this season, and they are already facing a severe famine. If we collect this season's food, the number of people starving to death in Japan this year will reach a new high."

"Now these grains are guarded by a large number of people. It will probably take some means to get them. If reporters find out, if these things are exposed, others will point the finger at us."

MacArthur slammed the table and said angrily:
"We are doing this for their own good. We want to open the blockade of the Strait of Malacca and get food supplies. Otherwise, they will starve to death. Do you want to let our own people land? Can't you just keep it a secret?"

"How can you be so stupid! This is the food that the Japanese people need to eat. Organize the Japanese people, give them weapons and let them grab it themselves. Don't show up!"

Can't others see it?!
But thinking about the war preparations, the adjutant looked at him in surprise and saluted:
"Yes! I'll arrange it right away!"

MacArthur said, smoking a cigarette:
"Continue to send people to scout Borneo, and have the country find a way to send more supplies and ammunition. Contact India, prepare food first, and transport the food immediately after the Strait of Malacca is opened."

The adjutant quickly responded:
"Yes!"

MacArthur also disliked the Japanese. When he saw them, he would be reminded of the Pearl Harbor incident and the hundreds of thousands of people who died in the United States.

The Japanese don't like people from the United States either. When they see them, they think of the atomic bomb.

What's the point of signing an agreement? If Japanese people can die, why should American people die?

.....................

The adjutant quickly found the war criminals, who were almost starving to death. For the future of the great country, the two sides hit it off and immediately organized a grain collection team.

A base was set up for the grain-collecting team to prepare for the grain-collecting work.

And once the Strait of Malacca is opened, food supply work can be resumed immediately.

With the same series of big promises, everyone seemed to see hope.

The United States provided them with weapons and equipment, including machine guns, sickles, and cars, but did not dare to issue them military uniforms for fear of being photographed by reporters.

Those war criminals picked up their guns and started their old job of raiding for food!

Unlike before, this time I am doing these things at home, which gives me a special sense of accomplishment.

There are no mines here to deal with them either, so it feels much safer!
Years of robbery experience have taught them that they should sneak into the village quietly and not use guns.

As a result, a large number of cars were blocked by villagers as soon as they entered the village.

In the wheat fields in the distance, the wheat has not yet turned yellow and it will take at least half a month to mature, but it is already full of grain and can be eaten raw.

In the nearby fields, there was not a blade of grass or a leaf on the ground; all had been pulled out.

The people in the village were also here, holding sticks and various weapons. More than 200 men and women, young and old, were confronting the grain collection team.

Among them were several Japanese patrolmen, trembling with fear as they held their pistols.

Every day there are people who are desperate and want to take risks to come to the village to steal wheat.

They were sent from the police department to protect the wheat, otherwise it would have been plucked out long ago.

A group of starving people are buried in the village every day. Now that the army has arrived, where will these patrols go? ?
.....................

Looking at those skinny elders and people whose thighs are not as thick as their arms, they are really pitiful.

But his hungry stomach was like a fire, and he could not care less. The leader of the grain collection team shouted:

"Fellow villagers! We are preparing food for the war. You are all contributing to the country of Japan. We will give you money later." The village chief was not a fool. He shouted:

"You bunch of beasts, the wheat isn't ripe yet, and you're stealing it. Are you going to let everyone in the village starve to death?"

"You are wasting the wheat by doing this. Your wives and children will be among those who starve to death. You will be punished."

The hungry grain-collecting team members simply couldn't listen. What does it matter if you starve to death?
We are almost starving to death, you are all making contributions!
The people in the village, relying on their numbers, started pushing and shoving, trying to drive the grain-collecting team out.

The leader of the grain collection team was an experienced man. In this situation, how could they get the grain without killing them all? He waved his hand and shouted:

"Shoot! We are all doing this for the good of the country. Not collecting food for us is a crime. Shoot these untouchables to death! They are all traitors and rioters!"

Just like they had done before, the team members below immediately opened fire with rifles and machine guns.

No matter you are old or young, man or woman, patrolling is meaningless. Anyone who doesn’t let us eat wheat will all die!

After a burst of random gunfire, there was no one left in the village, and the members of the grain-harvesting team rushed into the wheat field.

It’s useless to harvest the wheat now, we can only barely fill our stomachs.

The grain harvesting team began to rub the wheat with their hands to fill their stomachs.

Later!

The experienced team members rushed into the village and searched carefully, finding banknotes, jewelry, and even a piglet. Suddenly, there was laughter and joy.

There were also a few shivering Japanese girls who became trophies, and were taken round after round.

Then came other grain-collecting teams, and then the next village, and the war spread immediately.

The fields in the countryside began to become noisy.

.....................

MacArthur himself did not expect that a simple statement of distributing weapons and collecting grain would release a group of devils who wanted to survive and cause the entire Japan to collapse.

Everyone was staring at the spring food to survive, and the volcano was about to erupt.

This grain collection has touched the nerves of everyone now. Who doesn’t want to survive?

The food has been requisitioned and everyone is going to die!

Within three days, not a single grain of food was collected. The whole country was in chaos, with burning, killing and looting everywhere day and night.

The food in the land has not yet matured, and due to various extreme measures, there is no food left.

The thick smoke from burning houses and the smell of burning corpses were everywhere in the cities and rural areas.

Everybody wanted to fill their stomachs, nobody wanted to die, all the crazy people were looting, and there was gunfire everywhere.

Those people had gone crazy and were not afraid of death at all. They even dared to rob the local American garrison. The American soldiers ran out of bullets and had to withdraw from the city.

The entire city, inside and outside, became a living hell.

The soldiers of the United States retreated to their military bases and put on gas masks to resist the unpleasant barbecue smell in the city.

The mental damage suffered by the soldiers was so great that the commanders could only distribute war-version Coca-Cola and opioids to the American soldiers to relieve their emotions.

The entire country of Japan has lost its basic order. People are killing with bloodshot eyes and are almost starving to death. Who cares who you are! ?
There are people everywhere looking for something to eat!

There are also those perverts whose eyes are red from eating and whose mouths are full of oil, hiding in the corner and staring at the next target.

There are also all kinds of powerful forces and dignitaries in Japan, and those hidden big corporate forces, they all want to survive.

All the previously hidden weapons and equipment were taken out, and a crazy melee began.

There was slaughter everywhere on the streets and all the shops were looted.

Sometimes they kill for food, and sometimes they kill simply for the sake of killing, just like a hundred demons parading at night.

Eastern European journalists were excited and began to risk their lives to carry out various filming in Japan. On TV news, they promoted the idea that it was all a conspiracy of the United States.

It was the evil United States that wanted to forcibly collect grain for war, which triggered the crisis in Japan.

This is the basic quality of the Russians. They put the blame on the United States in one breath.

The Eastern European commissioners have started to act up again, and have begun to speak in the news to support the Republic of Borneo, to support civilized society, and to fight against evil forces.

In order to seek revenge, they have never signed an armistice agreement with Japan, and they are still belligerent countries.

You can imagine how great the hatred is!

Now there are bargains to be picked up and melons to be eaten. Eastern Europe has taken advantage of the troubled waters and sent a few battleships and submarines to help maintain order.

Although there was no fighting between the two sides due to the United States, the situation became even more chaotic.

As long as there are small Japanese boats going out to sea to fish, the Eastern European boats will immediately ram them.

Shoot first, then find the target. The dead won’t cry out for injustice!
The Eastern European commissioners also learned a lot from the Republic of Borneo's fight against organized crime.

Now is the critical moment. There is no need to open fire. Just starve them to death. The Russians are more active than those in the Republic of Borneo.

Zhang Kaiwu didn't pay any attention to the affairs in Eastern Europe. Princess Lin Jingli and Princess Ning Ping were very happy and kept making up lies in the news all day long.

Thanks to the Eastern European brother for speaking out!

Thanks to the big rocket support from Eastern European brother.

Justice must prevail!

Evil will not last long!

Anyone who dares to help these demons transport food is an enemy of the Republic of Borneo and will be attacked.

They are actually very sympathetic to the tragic plight of the Japanese people.

They strongly condemned the crazy actions of the Japanese army and spoke out for the civilians.

They specially folded one hundred paper cranes, hoping to bring blessings of peace and hope with them.

They now have experience in how to talk nonsense, and they don't even need Zhang Kaiwu to give them orders!
The kind-hearted sister Tong Ling was also on TV, showing everyone how to fold paper cranes to pray for the disaster-stricken areas.

Suddenly!

The news mentioned many enthusiastic people from all over the world who condemned the atrocities of Japanese soldiers and sent precious paper cranes to Japan!
………………

Of course, the United States does not admit that it was they who were responsible for the grain collection. I also said that it was you in Eastern Europe who did it. We are a free and democratic country and would never do such things.

There's a mess everywhere!
MacArthur had asked his adjutant to form a commando team, and under the pretext of searching for missing American soldiers, launched an operation to rescue the soldiers, and went to silence the gangsters in the grain collection team.

He sat there, watching the programs on TV, smoking a cigar and saying nothing.

Four or five helicopters, following the fleet's fighter jets, rushed into the grain-collecting team's base, bombing and machine-gunning it.

Not only was the base flattened, but a large area nearby was also not spared.

We staged a vigorous campaign to promote democracy and freedom, eliminating gangsters and eliminating evil, leaving no one alive. We also have zero tolerance for criminals.

MacArthur sent another telegram to the United States, requesting the transfer of troops from Africa and the delivery of supplies to assist the offensive of the Republic of Borneo.

Under his command, there were a total of twelve aircraft carriers and more than eighty ships of various fleets.

This also included six large landing craft. The Japanese could no longer rely on them and could not take care of so many, so they could only send the American soldiers.

Together with a total of more than 200,000 ground troops on both sides, they were prepared to take over the Republic of Borneo in one fell swoop during the dry season in July.

The minimum operational plan of the US Congress is to bomb Jakarta, allow Australia to enter a democratic society, and cripple the Republic of Borneo.

MacArthur then thought that Japan and the Republic of Borneo also had a deep blood feud. Should he temporarily recruit a group of cannon fodder before setting off?
