Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 1591 Expropriation Order

At around [-]:[-], all the ships of the "American Evacuation Fleet" completed berthing at Xingzhou Wharf.The [-]-ton cruise ship from the United States and a [-]-ton merchant ship from the Xue Bingjun lined up at the front, and more than [-] ships of various types lined up outside them.The sailors worked nervously to build bridge decks between the ships.The escort fleet leaned on the outermost side, and among them, the heavy cruiser serving as the command ship was at the end.

In the eyes of Colonel Grant, who was in charge of directing the operation, so far, everything was normal.However, when he took a dozen Marine Corps soldiers through the heavy cruiser and passed a dozen large and small merchant ships and just set foot on the pier, an accident happened.

At this time, on the Xingzhou Wharf, the British took three steps, one post and five steps, one sentry post, posing as if they were facing an enemy.Because as early as an hour ago, the sound of guns in the city kept ringing, Grant thought the Japanese had already entered the outskirts of the city, and the British did this to protect the evacuation operation, so he didn't think it was strange.

Bai Sihua stationed the most elite regiment at Xingzhou Wharf early on. In his opinion, having this elite royal regiment armed to the teeth sitting at the pier is enough to deter those Chinese from Guangzhou who have never seen the world.

After Grant got ashore, he was eager to know what was going on with the gunfire in the city. When he saw a British major leading a dozen people approaching, he quickly walked up to him. After introducing himself, he asked directly: : "Sir, where is Consul General Mitterrand? Why didn't I see him?"

Mitterrand is the consul general of the local US consulate in Singapore, and he is also in charge of the evacuation operation in Singapore.It was a simple question, but the major couldn't answer it. Of course, he probably didn't even think about answering it.Because of President Roosevelt's special care, Mitterrand has been delaying time, wanting to reunite with the Chinese in Singapore and Malaysia before acting together.However, he and the assembled American expatriates had no chance to leave their homes as the fighting blazed into the streets where the U.S. consulate was located.

The battle over the US consulate is by far the most intense.

Whether the British Army's "Singapore Retreat" or the Xuebing Army's "Singapore-Malaysian Chinese Rescue", the key to implementation lies with the Americans.The Xuebing Army has reached a tacit agreement with the US government, but the British are ready to overlord.And now, no matter what plans Americans have, they have in fact lost the right to decide.

"Colonel, Commander Bai Sihua asked me to hand it over to you. I'm sorry, your fleet has been requisitioned by us!" The British major answered irrelevantly, and directly took out the "requisition order" that Bai Sihua issued to him earlier.

Grant was taken aback and shouted: "What, I refuse to accept it! I want to see Governor Thomas. Our government has reached an agreement with the Straits Settlements government on the evacuation of overseas Chinese. You cannot do this."

Major: "Colonel, I'm just following the order. As for whether you accept it or not, it's not within the scope of my job. Soldier, protect Colonel Grant."

Grant got angry and shouted: "Shameless British, do you know what you are doing?"

The major saluted him politely and said, "I'm sorry, I'm just following the orders from the summit! Colonel, please rest assured, we will definitely ensure the safety of the nationals of your country."

Several British soldiers stepped forward, raised their guns towards them with expressionless faces, and politely asked them to hand over their guns.

Grant gritted his teeth, guarded his gun and said, "Major, you are desecrating the dignity of being a soldier!"

The major shrugged and turned to face the ships. Suddenly, he froze, and then slowly raised his hands.

Grant and his men turned their backs to their fleet, unaware of what was happening.Seeing that the British soldiers who were facing them raised their guns above their heads, he turned around curiously, but at some point, a group of more than a hundred marines appeared behind him. He was holding his gun in his hand, pointing his gun at the major and other British officers and soldiers.

"What's going on?" Grant was confused. He clearly remembered that he only brought one platoon of Marines this time. Then, where did this at least one company of Marines come from?

The answer was immediately revealed——

"Colonel Grant, you are too careless!" Zhang Liangfeng walked quickly through the large army under the escort of several Jewish borrowed soldiers, and said to Grant from afar.

Grant suddenly realized, and a smile appeared on his face.He walked up to the British major, stretched out his hand unfriendly and pulled a chain from his neck, grabbed the breastplate attached to the end of the chain, looked at it, and said coldly: "Major Shi En, will you I will pay the price for today's rude behavior!"

The major's face turned green and pale, and he licked his lips and said, "Colonel Grant, Britain and the United States are allies, and we need your help now."

Grant snorted coldly and reprimanded: "We are indeed allies, and we are willing to help you, but there is a premise that you must first learn how to respect your allies. But what have you done? We American soldiers Is it your enemy? Is it worth pointing your gun at us? Requisition orders are extremely ridiculous! I doubt whether your General Bai Sihua's head was kicked by a donkey! If you have the courage to point a gun at your allies, why don't you go and fight with us? What about the Japanese bloody battle?! What a scum of soldiers!"

Grant was ordered to command the evacuation operation, because he had to bear great psychological pressure to help the Xuebing Army rescue the Chinese in Singapore and Malaysia. He was afraid that if he handled it improperly, it would trigger a war between Japan and the United States and become a national sinner.He finally led the fleet tremblingly to the Xingzhou pier, and because he mistakenly thought that the Japanese had already attacked the city, he was worried about the safety of the expatriates, and he was in a bad mood. Fortunately, he was pointed at by guns as soon as he landed , who can stand it?

He reprimanded Shi En severely to vent his anger. He turned to look at Zhang Liangfeng and the western-faced soldiers behind him, curious about their origins, and said, "Mr. Zhang, thank you for helping me out. They are hired Soldiers?"

"Colonel, you are welcome. It is our honor to do something for you. They are not mercenaries, but Jewish students from Guangzhou."

Grant suddenly realized, and smiled lightly: "I forgot, there are Jews in your army." Frowning, he handed the requisition order to Zhang Liangfeng, and said; "Mr. Zhang, look at this, we His actions have been exposed."

Zhang Liangfeng took it over and looked at it, his brows were furrowed and then loosened, and he asked, "Colonel, what are you going to do?"

Grant thought for a while, and said seriously: "I am an American soldier, and their British military order is invalid for me. But now, it seems that the British have blocked the pier, and the action may be frustrated!"

Zhang Liangfeng: "In any case, ensuring your country's evacuation is the top priority. Colonel, in order to prevent the British from continuing to make trouble, we can only occupy the pier first!"

"Occupy the pier? It should, but, I only brought a platoon of Marines—"

"Leave this to us, but in order to reduce unnecessary casualties, it's best for you to come forward and tell them."

"No problem, I will send a note to the Government of the Straits Settlements!"
