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

The refugee plan created by the Japanese army really brought great trouble to various war zones, and its effect was so "significant" that it was a headache.

During this period, all war zones were caught in extremely difficult situations due to the influx of refugees.

The Fourth War Zone where Lu Yuhua was located was not spared either. Although he had tried his best to deal with it, so far he had only consumed millions of immigrants.

The main reason for this is that refugees from other war zones did not arrive in the Fourth War Zone in large numbers.

However, as time goes by, the situation is not optimistic.

Those refugees who cannot obtain relief food and have difficulty making a living in other places will sooner or later flock like a tide to the Fourth War Zone where they can have a glimmer of hope.

After all, when people are desperate, they will always look for possible hope.

That was why Lu Yuhua was so eager to inquire about the progress of the immigration plan. His purpose was clear, which was to speed up the implementation of the immigration plan and allow more people to settle down in the Fourth War Zone as soon as possible, so as to consolidate his foundation and cope with the impact of the upcoming refugee crisis.

But who knew that the efficiency of this immigration plan was so slow? This naturally made Lu Yuhua a little dissatisfied.

He had hoped that many potential problems could be resolved through rapid resettlement of immigrants, but the progress was far below his expectations. How could he not be anxious and angry?

"General Manager, the main reason is still the road problem, plus the need to reclaim wasteland, build houses, etc., all of which require manpower." The subordinate reminded carefully, and from time to time he observed Lu Yuhua's expression while speaking, fearing that his words would make the general manager even more unhappy.

There are indeed many difficulties in the actual resettlement process.

The poor road conditions made the transportation of personnel and materials extremely inconvenient, greatly delaying the immigration process.

Moreover, a large number of immigrants need to be resettled, wasteland needs to be reclaimed so that they can have land to farm, and enough houses need to be built so that they have a place to live. These are all huge projects, and each one requires a large number of manpower to complete. Once the manpower is short, the progress of various tasks will naturally slow down.

"I know, but these are not reasons." Lu Yuhua frowned and shook his head slowly.

He was well aware of these practical difficulties, but in his opinion, the current situation was so serious that a refugee crisis could come at any time. If the immigration plan could not be accelerated as soon as possible, once a large number of refugees poured in, it would trigger a series of more serious problems, such as chaotic public security, shortage of supplies, etc. Therefore, even if there were difficulties, they must find ways to overcome them and advance the immigration plan as soon as possible.

"Annan is a high-yield grain-producing area and needs more immigrants." Lu Yuhua repeated it again with a serious expression.

He was well aware of the huge potential of Annan in food production. Take the Red River Plain for example, it was an extremely fertile land.

If the land in the Red River Plain alone could be fully developed and utilized, with its superior natural conditions, it would be capable of producing hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain.

This is of great significance for solving the food problem and stabilizing the overall situation.

But now, the level of development there is only a little bit, and this situation really makes Lu Yuhua very dissatisfied.

If we look into it carefully, the fundamental reason is that the number of immigrants is not enough.

If there were enough people there to engage in production activities such as reclamation and planting, he probably wouldn't have to worry about food supply.

After all, there is strength in numbers. With sufficient labor, we can make full use of the fertile land and significantly increase grain production.

More importantly, by sending a large number of immigrants to the Annan region, the base can be consolidated.

We have finally occupied the territory, we can't just let it remain the same, with the indigenous people still occupying the main position, right?
Moreover, these natives are not reliable. Their stance is very unsteady and they are easily bewitched by a few words from the French and Japanese troops.

This kind of situation has happened before. If Lu Yuhua had not been smart enough to take precautions in advance and leave enough troops to garrison there, the territory that had been occupied with great effort would have been easily taken back by the natives.

Therefore, in Lu Yuhua's view, accelerating the immigration process to the Annan region has become an urgent and important issue that must be resolved as soon as possible.

"Yes, I'm speeding up." The subordinate responded quickly.

…………

On the other hand, under the powerful pressure of the Japanese army, Siam was forced into a corner and had no choice but to agree to the demands of the Japanese army and began to attack Cambodia.

Siam actually has its own little ideas.

They thought that since they were going to send troops to fight, they might as well take this opportunity to occupy more territory on the battlefield.

In their view, the most important thing is to get the actual benefits first. As for whether doing so will cause protests from the French army, they don't care so much.

Anyway, just grab the benefits that can be gained first. It must be said that there are some smart people in Siam who know how to plan for themselves.

However, what they didn't know was that the fighting power of the Free Army on the opposite side was quite strong.

This is mainly due to the Japanese army. When the Japanese army asked Siam to send troops, they did not tell them this important situation in advance.

The Japanese army did this for their own reasons. They wanted to kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand, they hoped to weaken the strength of the rebels, that is, the Free Army, by letting the Siamese army fight against the Free Army, so that these rebels who have always given them a headache would no longer be so arrogant and they could better control the situation. On the other hand, they also wanted to make the Siamese army suffer certain damage in the battle with the Free Army, so that the Siamese army would be more obedient in the future and would not dare to easily go against the wishes of the Japanese army.

Even though the Siamese army seemed to have agreed to the Japanese army's demands, the Japanese army knew it very well.

If one day the Japanese army really declines and is no longer as powerful as it is now, the first country to jump out and accuse them, or even potentially add insult to injury, will definitely be Siam.

After all, in international relations, interests are often paramount. Siam seems to be submissive now, but it is only because of pressure from the Japanese army. Once the situation changes, they will not remember the old friendship.

It was based on these calculations that the Japanese army did not tell the Siamese army anything and just kept urging them to attack the rebels. The Japanese army had their own plans in mind, but did not take the difficulties that the Siamese army might face into consideration.

The result was predictable. The Siamese army was badly beaten and did not achieve the easy victory they had expected.

"Can't we defeat a bunch of rabble?" Basong, the commander of the 9th Division of the Siamese Army, widened his eyes and looked at his subordinates in disbelief. He originally thought that these opponents were just a bunch of rebels, how powerful could they be, just like the 4th Division of the Japanese Army, who thought that this time the troops would be easy to capture and that they could easily deal with those so-called rebels.

But who could have imagined that in this battle, almost all of his battalion of soldiers were wiped out. The loss was too heavy.

Who dares to believe this?
How could they, a regular army that was well-equipped and well-trained, be unable to defeat a group of indigenous rebels who looked like a mob?
Basong felt so aggrieved and confused. He couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Sir, those are not a mob at all. They are well-trained, well-equipped and have strong firepower." The captain who escaped back said with fear on his face.

He was still in shock at this moment. He had just experienced the enemy's strength on the battlefield. The fighting power of those rebels was far beyond his imagination, so his voice was trembling when he spoke.

"Damn it, how can a group of natives have such strong fighting power?" Basong got angry when he heard this. He thought it was nonsense and he didn't believe that such a thing would happen.

In his understanding, those natives have always been sloppy and disorderly. How could they become so powerful all of a sudden?

But the subordinate in front of him was his confidant, who was loyal to him on weekdays, and looking at the other party's frightened expression, it was obviously not pretended.

This made Basong wonder in his heart, did he really underestimate the rebels?

"Is it true?" After a long while, Basong frowned and asked half-doubtfully. Although he was still reluctant to believe it, he was afraid that he had made a mistake, so he wanted to confirm it again.

"Yes, it's absolutely true." The captain nodded quickly, his body trembling a little.

He knew very well how cruel and ruthless Basong was. If he dared to hide anything on this matter, he would be in trouble. So he could only tell the truth honestly without hiding anything.

"How is this possible? A group of natives are so powerful? This is really unbelievable, unless there is some other force behind them." Basong frowned, his eyes full of shock and confusion. He couldn't understand how those natives, who were just scattered and disorderly in his eyes, could suddenly possess such powerful fighting power. There must be some unknown reason. He was sure that there must be something complicated behind it.

"It should be the Soviet army." The captain said his guess tremblingly, and from time to time he glanced at Basong's face while speaking. He was afraid that his guess was wrong and would make his superior unhappy, and he was also worried that if the Soviet army really intervened, it would be a big trouble.

"Why do you say that?" Basong looked at the other party in surprise. He did not expect the captain to mention the Soviet army. In his opinion, the Soviet army was far away in the north and did not seem to have any direct relationship with the situation here, so he was very curious about the basis of the captain's speculation.

"Because when we escaped back, we heard from the locals that not long ago, this rebel army defeated a French infantry regiment using Soviet weapons." The captain hurriedly told his superiors everything he had seen and heard, hoping to make his superiors understand the strangeness of the matter.

He knew that defeating a French infantry regiment was no small matter, and that Soviet weapons were used, so it was very likely that the Soviet army was secretly supporting it.

"Hiss." Hearing that a French infantry regiment was gone, Basong couldn't help but take a breath. He knew how strong the French army was.

Back then, they fought with the French army for several years in order to compete for territory. During those years, the two sides fought back and forth, with both sides winning and losing, and the fighting was extremely fierce.

It was only after the Japanese army moved south that they stepped in to mediate, which caused both sides to temporarily stop fighting.

If Lu Yuhua knew about this, he would probably laugh his head off. After fighting these inferior armies for several years, the French army is really getting worse and worse.

In Lu Yuhua's opinion, the French army's combat effectiveness now seems to be much worse than before. It was really shameful that they were defeated by a group of rebels and lost an infantry regiment. Thinking about the various complex situations and strong opponents they faced, the French army's performance was really not good enough.

"It seems that this matter is indeed not that simple." Basong was very clear in his mind at this moment. No matter how simple-minded he was in normal times, facing the situations that occurred one after another, he understood that this matter might not be so easy to figure out. There must be many complex factors and hidden forces behind it.

Just as Basong was wondering whether he should report what he had learned here as soon as possible, he saw his subordinates outside the door running in breathlessly. The panicked look made Basong frown slightly.

"What's wrong?" There was a hint of displeasure in Basong's tone. He was already upset about this matter, and the panic-stricken look of his subordinates made him even more annoyed.

"Commander, it's bad, the rebels are attacking." The subordinate reported in a panic. He couldn't help but look behind him while speaking, as if the rebels would rush into the house at the next second. His voice became trembling due to nervousness.

"What?" Basong's eyes widened as he heard this, his face full of disbelief. He never expected that they would attack him right after he was discussing the rebels. This was too sudden. For a moment, Basong was confused and had no idea how to deal with this sudden situation.

"He called?" Basong looked at the other party in disbelief.

"Yes, those rebels somehow found their way to our position and are currently attacking with all their might," the subordinate explained hastily.

At this time, a louder explosion sounded outside. (End of this chapter)
