Age of Conquest Reborn

(.)

There were no fierce battles in the urban area of ​​Singapore. Compared to Hong Kong, the traces of war in the urban area are much lighter. This largest city in Southeast Asia, guarding the chokepoint of the Strait of Malacca, has been completely preserved.

This was also Tang Qiuli's original intention. The result of the Battle of Singapore made him very satisfied!

Therefore, when entering the city, Tang Qiuli was in a very happy mood when he looked at the neat streets, the citizens who were not much affected, and the garrison patrol soldiers who walked by from time to time. After capturing Singapore, Du Li Division

Only then can we fully possess the Indochina Peninsula, and the naval and air force bases can be pushed forward to the best position to capture the islands in the southwest Pacific in the future. This is only of military value.

Economically, Singapore is located at the transportation chokepoint connecting the two oceans, the Pacific and the Indian Ocean. It is a world-famous golden waterway. Its commercial value is immeasurable in the future. Singapore, a small country in the future, has benefited from the Strait of Malacca, which can be said to be a step forward.

Fighting for gold, getting extremely rich, and sitting in this city, Tang Qiuli seemed to see the wealth rolling in.

After entering the city, the first thing Tang Qiuli did was to visit Mr. Huang, the president of the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Without the strong assistance of the old man, the special operations detachment would not have been able to successfully complete the mission. As for the Battle of Singapore itself,

In order for the city to be protected intact, Mr. Huang was the most important person, both public and private, and he wanted to pay a visit to this respected old man who cared about his homeland.

Mr. Huang, who was convening a meeting of all members of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce at home to restore normal production and business order in the city as soon as possible and heal the wounds left during the Japanese occupation, never expected that a famous general of the generation who was famous both at home and abroad would hold in his hand

Tang Qiuli, who has an army of one million and occupies the Central-Southern Peninsula and most of the Indian continent, will pay a visit in person. He is overjoyed and feels uneasy as he cannot figure out his purpose.

The two sides chatted for a while, and Tang Qiuli introduced his attachés, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, Major General, General Staff Director Colonel Ge Zhenzhuang, Communications Director Colonel Chen Feng, and Special Guard Captain Fu Qiang. They were all handsome and handsome.

The neatly organized young people were all moving towards where they stood, exuding a sense of vitality.

Mr. Huang also introduced the Chinese businessmen present. These Chinese businessmen, who occupy an important position in Singapore's business community, met the famous Du Li division commander Tang Qiuli for the first time. Their moods were even more complicated. Singapore changed hands.

According to the usual practice, I am afraid that I have to spend a lot of money to buy myself peace of mind.

The British did this. The Japanese also did the same. When it was the turn of the Tang general, he was probably not exempt from the custom. I just hope that for the sake of being Chinese, he would not be a lion and ask for prices. This is the ancestor.

The spirit in heaven bless you!

The Chinese businessmen were respectful, nervous, uneasy, and a little frightened. Tang Qiuli glanced around with a smile. He guessed their thoughts at once, and felt a little sad in his heart. These hard-working and willing Chinese businessmen may be their ancestors.

Or perhaps their parents traveled across the ocean to Nanyang, and relied on their national characteristics of hard work, thrift and hard work to accumulate wealth through several generations of hard work.

What is earned is hard-earned money and hard-earned money. What is strange is that the Chinese businessmen who make a living in a foreign country have created huge wealth and a large number of employment opportunities for the local area, but they are neither tolerated by the rulers nor the local indigenous people.

Accepted by the residents, they are squeezed, suppressed, exploited and deceived everywhere. The Chinese businessmen regard this place as their second home... "", but in the land of Indochina, they do not have the status they deserve.

No matter in future generations or in this life, Tang Qiuli could not accept this fact. He concluded that overseas Chinese businessmen did not have a strong backer. The Republic of China at this time was, in the eyes of the world, the sick man of East Asia who came out of China.

For the Chinese, tolerance and humiliation cannot be exchanged for the respect they deserve. In this life, Tang Qiuli had an ideal, which was that the Chinese must take control of the political power as indicated by the banner of Du Li's million-strong army.

Tang Qiuli quickly put the sad feeling in his heart out of his mind. This was not pity, but heartache. He smiled and said to dozens of Chinese businessmen: "We are all compatriots. There is no need to be restrained. We can do whatever we want. Today I

I have taken the liberty to visit Mr. Huang because I have an important entrustment!"

The Chinese businessmen immediately became nervous. They exchanged glances with each other and saw each other's helplessness. This General Tang was so rude and straight to the point. Next, he should put forward his request!

Mr. Huang was surprised and a little surprised. He stood up and said: "I am already in my twilight years. I am just a businessman. I am immersed in the business world. I am ignorant and have little knowledge. I don't know what other abilities I have. I am worthy of General Tang's favor.

If you entrust me with a big task, as long as it is within my ability, I will do my best to do it!"

Mr. Huang has settled in Singapore for decades in his sixties. After experiencing vicissitudes and ups and downs in life, he is used to seeing the greedy faces of the British and the Japanese. If there was a chance, he would not serve as the commander of the Japanese Army Ito.

Yan Sanlang's special envoy, with the Han Dynasty's humiliation and uneasiness, rushed to Yangon to act as a messenger for the Japanese.

Although I had a great time chatting with Tang Qiuli and several senior generals of the Duli Division in Yangon, they also had great respect for themselves, and

According to General Tang's strategy, he gained the trust of the Japanese people and protected the Chinese businessmen in Singapore from being invaded by the Japanese people to the greatest extent. This time, he assisted Tang Qiuli's troops and saved Singapore. However, Mr.

My heart is not at ease.

After all, it was nearly two years ago. Two years is enough to change a person's life creed. Now, Tang Qiuli has marched directly to Singapore, seizing the power of victory and taking over as a master. His mentality has changed.

Mr. Huang was not sure whether there had been any changes, so he spoke more tactfully and left some room for error!

Tang Qiuli clearly understood the mentality of Mr. Huang and the Chinese businessmen, so he was not polite and said: "You are all heavyweights in Singapore's business community. Even in Indochina, you are extremely influential. Singapore blocks the Strait of Malacca.

An important port city, it has been an important trade route since ancient times and a place where merchants gathered. Qiu Li believes that Singapore should play a more important role in the future pattern of Indochina."

"However, Qiu Li and his subordinates are all warriors and do not understand the way of doing business. They may not be able to take over Singapore. Therefore, Qiu Li has an unkind request to ask Mr. Huang to serve as the mayor of Singapore.

If you wish, you can also serve in the new government."

"As for the functions and authorities of Singapore's new government, there will be professionals to make detailed plans. Qiu Li is here, so I might as well tell you frankly that Singapore's military garrison does not interfere with the daily operations of the city government, but only serves Singapore.

Future stability and prosperity are guaranteed. In other words, the future Singapore government can independently formulate policies related to urban development and economic prosperity. It only needs to be reported to the Military and Political Commission of Indochina for filing.

That’s it!”

As soon as these words were said, Mr. Huang and the Chinese businessmen were not only in a big surprise, but also unexpectedly. Their ancestors came to Nanyang to make a living. Although they had a lot of money, they were always politically weak.

Second-class citizens, let alone entering the city government

The bureau, which is generally a department with some power, has various restrictions on the Chinese. In a word, the Chinese only have the obligation to pay taxes and contribute, but have no say. Now, General Tang has entrusted the important task of managing Singapore to us. This is true.

Of?

Looking at Mr. Huang and the Chinese businessmen with expressions of disbelief, Tang Qiuli continued: "You have been making a living in Nanyang for many years, but you have never achieved the political status you deserve. Today, Qiuli just wants us Chinese to be the masters of our country."

Lord, however, Qiu Li has something to say first.

, In the future Singapore city government, the chief executives of all important departments must be Chinese. As for the separation of powers in the West, the so-called min zhu, zi you elections and other activities, just don’t do it!”

It could be seen that Tang Qiuli was absolutely serious. The Chinese businessmen were whispering to each other excitedly, and some were at a loss when great happiness came. Mr. Huang's face glowed red, and all worries disappeared. This man

The young General Tang Qiuli is different from anyone else. This is the feeling of compatriots!

Mr. Huang stood up again and said with a sonorous voice rarely seen by the elderly: "General Tang, thanks to the general's love, I have entrusted Huang with an important task. I am so grateful that I did not expect that in my dying years, I can actually see it with my own eyes."

, On this day when we Chinese are proud and proud, a lifetime wish is enough. As an old man in charge of the Lion City, I will do my best to serve the general and guard a good herd. If I violate the general's trust, I am willing to dedicate the head of this bright head!"

"Entertainment show" said, the old man shed tears excitedly. Tang Qiuli hurriedly sent the old man back to his seat, shook his head and said: "The old man is serious. Qiu Li does not want his head. He only wants to see Singapore. In

Under the management of our Chinese people, all aspects of business are booming. I believe that all of you here have the same idea, so let’s work hard together!”

All the Chinese businessmen nodded in agreement, and Tang Qiuli said jokingly: "Qiu Li has come a long way and is a little hungry. I wonder if I can have a simple meal at the old gentleman's house. After all, I am also yours."

Boss, according to the administrative affiliation, the Singapore Municipal Government is subordinate to the Indochina Military and Administrative Management Committee, and I am honored to serve as the chairman, so you can bribe me as a superior!"

The crowd burst into laughter, and Tang Qiuli's joke brought everyone closer in an instant. Mr. Huang hurriedly greeted his servants to prepare food and drinks. Seeing this, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe whispered to Tang Qiuli: "Sir

, your office is located at the former Japanese Army Hengshan Brigade Headquarters, I will rush over to take a look, there is a lot of preparation work to be done, and there is also post-war statistical work to be done for the Battle of Singapore, so I will leave first!"
