Anti-Japanese War: The whole world is a base vehicle

This place has unique natural conditions. There are gurgling natural rivers with clear water that nourishes the land; there is also land that is so fertile that it seems like you can squeeze out oil. It's a pity that no one has ever come to cultivate it properly before.

At this time, rows of red brick houses had already been built on the open space. Although these houses were not luxurious, they looked very solid and sturdy, and simple living furniture, beds, tables and chairs were prepared inside, just waiting for the refugees to move in.

All the money for building houses and purchasing furniture came from Lu Yuhua's private treasury, which shows that a lot of effort was put into resettling these refugees.

As the vehicles stopped, hundreds of people got off quickly and in an orderly manner.

"Everyone, listen carefully. Each person will be given 20 mu of land. Remember this. But please note that this land cannot be bought or sold. The ownership belongs to the Young Marshal's Mansion, but it is up to you to decide what crops to plant." The staff in charge of resettlement said loudly to ensure that everyone clearly understood the relevant regulations regarding the land.

"In addition, everyone can freely reclaim wasteland and plant crops. But there are a few points that you must pay special attention to. You cannot block rivers without permission. You must let the river water flow smoothly to irrigate our land. You cannot cut down forests excessively, especially old and big trees. These must not be cut down. We must protect the ecological environment here. Of course, someone will deliver the stove fuel for your daily cooking. Don't worry about this problem. Just live and farm here peacefully." The staff explained the various regulations and precautions in detail, hoping that these refugees can live and work in peace in this new land and start a new life.

The staff member in charge of resettling these farmers was now explaining the various rules and regulations to the farmers in front of him in detail. He first emphasized some things that absolutely must not be done, so that everyone would have a clear idea.

"We are allowed to plant these lands by ourselves, and you don't ask us?" a farmer asked in confusion. In their past understanding, farming is often subject to many restrictions, so they feel both novel and uneasy about being able to decide what to plant on their own this time.

"That's right, we will never ask, but you can't buy and sell freely. If you are caught, you will be tried." The staff responded with a serious face. He knew the importance of land ownership. Although the land was given to farmers to cultivate and they were given a lot of autonomy, the land belonged to the Marshal's Mansion after all, and there could be no illegal trading.

"There are farm tools in the warehouse, one set for each family. Go to the warehouse to register and collect them." The staff member went on to introduce that this is also to facilitate farmers in carrying out farming work, so that every family can have suitable farm tools available.

After the staff member finished the introduction, he immediately dismissed the team. Hundreds of people were delighted and checked in immediately. These people were originally from the same village, and they already had a deep emotional foundation with each other, so the check-in process was lively and full of laughter.

When it got dark, the smoke from the cooking stoves rose from the houses of the people who had moved in. In just a few hours, everyone had already laid out all the bedding and skillfully cooked a few side dishes. The house was filled with the aroma of food and a warm homely atmosphere, allowing these farmers who had come here after many twists and turns to feel the long-lost stability and warmth.

The next day, these hardworking farmers did not sit idle, and immediately began to reclaim the wasteland. They took the farm tools from the warehouse and worked vigorously on the fertile land.

Some were plowing the soil, some were weeding, and others were discussing how to make the land more orderly.

Not only that, they also worked together to build a simple dam to divert the water.

After all, with proper water irrigation, crops can grow better, so the construction of this dam is also a vital task.

On the third day, the vegetables and seeds suitable for spring planting arrived here just in time. This was really timely. The farmers looked at these seeds and vegetable seedlings as if they saw the future harvest. Their faces were filled with joy, and they couldn't wait to plant them in the fields and start a new farming life.

……

"At the moment, everything is in order." Lu Yuhua carefully read through the report that was sent to him. Seeing that all the matters recorded on it were progressing smoothly, he couldn't help but reveal a relieved smile on his face.

The many arrangements and efforts made during this period of time have finally produced good results. Whether it is the resettlement of refugees, the allocation of land, or the subsequent development of production and life, everything is progressing in an orderly manner, which makes him feel more at ease.

However, while he was delighted, Lu Yuhua also realized a rather thorny problem, which was that the consumption of materials was too great.

He knew very well that the few supplies he had had had almost been used up after a series of uses and adjustments over this period of time.

You know, supplies are the basis for ensuring that all work continues to proceed smoothly. If there is a shortage of supplies, many subsequent plans will probably be shelved.

So next, the first problem he had to face was to find a way to get enough supplies.

After careful calculation, Lu Yuhua found that there should be no shortage of food in the short term. After all, corresponding arrangements had been made before to ensure that the refugees had sufficient food supply.

But what we lack most now is mechanical equipment.

You have to know that not all of the people resettled this time know how to farm, and some of them don’t even know the skill of farming.

For these people, we cannot simply arrange them to work in the fields. We need factories to accommodate them, let them play a role in the factories, and do some work that suits them.

Fortunately, the German army is already shipping the equipment in accordance with previous requirements.

However, most of these equipment are second-hand equipment dismantled from France.

Although it is not brand new, it is better than nothing.

Moreover, the German army was quite considerate. Not only did they send equipment, they also provided a large number of engineers.

As long as these people arrive with the equipment, Lu Yuhua will have hundreds of factories.

With these factories, those who don’t know how to farm can have suitable jobs. At the same time, the factories can also be used to produce all kinds of necessary materials, further promoting the development here and solving the current problem of material shortages.

Thinking about this, Lu Yuhua felt even more expectant, hoping that the German army could deliver the equipment and personnel safely as soon as possible.

"How is the training of the Marine Corps going?" After properly resolving many immigration-related issues, Lu Yuhua knew that all he had to do next was give time to gradually implement and advance various arrangements.

So, he shifted his focus to the training of the Marine Corps. After all, the Leizhou Peninsula had been successfully captured, and the next strategic goal was naturally to deal with Qiongzhou Island. In this upcoming operation, the main force responsible for the attack would undoubtedly be the Marine Corps.

However, the Marine Corps has been in a state of intense training for this period of time. "We are currently in the second phase of training, and it is expected to take at least another month to complete all the training." After hearing Lu Yuhua's question, the staff officer in charge of training immediately stood up and explained seriously.

He knew in his heart that this training progress was crucial to the implementation of subsequent combat operations, so Lu Yuhua had to be made aware of it clearly.

Hearing this, Lu Yuhua nodded thoughtfully.

He began to wonder whether he should consider terminating the Marine Corps training early.

After all, he now has a pretty strong naval fleet in his hands. With the powerful combat capability of this fleet, it shouldn't be a big problem to capture Qiongzhou Island.

Perhaps he had keenly seen what Lu Yuhua was thinking, so the operations staff officer quickly said, "General Manager, I suggest we wait a little longer."

He knew very well that although Lu Yuhua's idea at the moment was feasible to a certain extent, from a more comprehensive and long-term combat perspective, there were some potential risks, so he had to give his suggestions in a timely manner.

"Why?" Lu Yuhua did not directly respond to the combat staff's advice, but asked back.

He wanted to hear what the operations staff had in mind when making such a suggestion. After all, in this crucial decision that determines the outcome of the battle, every detail and factor must be carefully considered.

"Because now the Japanese Combined Fleet is in the southern waters. If we attack Qiongzhou Island now, it will definitely attract the Japanese Combined Fleet." The combat staff looked solemn and hurriedly explained in detail.

He knew in his heart that the strength of the Japanese Combined Fleet should not be underestimated. If he rashly attacked Qiongzhou Island at this time and provoked them to interfere, the variables of this battle would be too great and it would be very likely to bring huge trouble to his side.

Hearing this, Lu Yuhua couldn't help but blame himself secretly, cursing himself in his heart for being so stupid that he actually forgot such an important situation.

He had carefully planned before and sent submarines to launch a surprise attack on the US military bases in the Philippines, hoping to disrupt the situation, but in the end there was no obvious reaction. This made him wonder when the US military became so cowardly.

"Is the US military still pretending to be cowardly?" Lu Yuhua took a deep breath and asked slowly.

He knew very well that the attitude of the US military had a crucial impact on the current situation. If the US military continued to pretend to be timid and did nothing, it would be troublesome.

After all, as long as the US military does not participate in this game, the Japanese Combined Fleet will definitely continue to roam the southern waters without any scruples.

The main purpose of their wandering in this sea area should be to find those warships pretending to be Japanese troops. After all, they had taken related actions before, which aroused the vigilance of the Japanese troops.

"According to the existing intelligence, it seems that the US military has not had any significant reaction." The operations staff responded quickly, with a hint of helplessness in his words.

He has also been closely following the movements of the U.S. military, but judging from the intelligence currently available, the U.S. military is indeed extremely calm and has not taken any substantial action. This situation is really a headache.

Hearing this, Lu Yuhua's brows frowned even deeper.

He knew in his heart that this was not good news.

The US military's inaction means that the situation is still in a delicate and unstable state. The Japanese Combined Fleet may intervene at any time due to their own actions. At that time, it will be extremely difficult to successfully capture Qiongzhou Island.

Moreover, if this stalemate continues, it will have many adverse effects on our subsequent strategic layout. What should we do?

Lu Yuhua fell into deep thought. It might be difficult to find a way out of the impasse.

"Commander, should we send the fleet to attack the US military base again?" The operations staff officer's eyes were burning. In this stalemate, he felt that perhaps more radical measures had to be taken, so he suddenly proposed again solemnly.

Hearing this, Lu Yuhua was silent for a long time, frowned slightly, and began to think quickly in his mind whether this plan was really feasible.

He knew very well that this was not a decision that could be made lightly. Once implemented, it would inevitably cause a series of unpredictable chain reactions.

"The U.S. military has already acted cowardly once, will it do so again?" Lu Yuhua muttered to himself, his heart full of doubts.

Originally, he fully expected that the submarine attack on the U.S. military base in the Philippines would at least cause some waves and bring about some changes in the situation, but the result was far beyond his expectations. Not even a splash was heard, as if the attack had never happened at all. This really surprised him.

He really couldn't understand when the US military became so tolerant?
In his impression, the US military will not swallow this humiliation so easily.

"Then change the target of attack to a larger one." Seeing that Lu Yuhua was a little hesitant, the combat staff officer spoke further.

He felt that since the previous small-scale fighting had not worked, he might have to make a bigger move to catch the US military off guard and force them to react, so as to break the current deadlock.

"Pearl Harbor?" Lu Yuhua looked up at the operations staff. He certainly understood what the other party meant.

Since the target of the attack had to be changed, and it had to be a place that could really touch the nerves of the US military and prevent them from continuing to turn a deaf ear and dumb, it seemed that Pearl Harbor was the only suitable place.

That is an extremely important naval base of the US military in the Pacific region. Once an attack is launched here, the US military will probably be completely enraged and explode instantly like a lit powder keg. At that time, the situation in the entire Pacific region will inevitably undergo earth-shaking changes.

However, the risks involved are also extremely high. If you are not careful, you may end up in trouble and put yourself in an extremely dangerous situation. (End of this chapter)
