Probably in Percival's view, he has fulfilled his responsibility by being willing to testify for Angel, and everything else is not within Percival's consideration.

In another time and space, Parcival had 140,000 troops. Facing an attack of 70,000 Japanese troops, he retreated steadily, and finally chose to lay down his weapons and surrender.

The Japanese casualties during the entire Malay Campaign were less than 10,000. Percival achieved Yamashita Fengwen's prestigious reputation as the "Malay Tigers" at the expense of 140,000 British troops.

You must have a begging attitude when asking for help. Parcival's attitude was obviously incorrect.

"Our intelligence is wrong. The Japanese have no plans to attack Malaya in the short term." Angel now realizes that it was a foolish thing to remind the British.

This is normal. Nowadays, every country has its own intelligence system. Not to mention the British, the Russians also turned a deaf ear to the warnings from southern Africa and the United Kingdom before the Great Patriotic War broke out.

So do Americans.

After the Imperial Conference, southern Africa also sounded the alarm to the Americans.

The U.S. War Department expressed its gratitude to Southern Africa for the reminder, but also did not improve the defense level of Pearl Harbor, where the Pacific Fleet was stationed.

However, the Americans transferred all three aircraft carriers deployed at Pearl Harbor back to the mainland, which is very intriguing.

Since the European War, there is no doubt about the importance of aircraft carriers to the navy. The United States has never built a battleship since 1939, but it has built 11 aircraft carriers in one go.

The current strategy of the United States is to put Europe first and then Asia. The Pacific Fleet has 3 aircraft carriers, 9 battleships, 20 cruisers, and nearly 100 other combat ships. However, the United States has only transferred 3 aircraft carriers back to the mainland. If this is to transfer the Pacific

If the fleet is used as bait, then the price of this bait is a bit high.

Of course, this may also be a precautionary measure for Americans.

After all, no matter from which angle you look at it, Japan has no reason to defeat the United States, so the Americans are also betting.

"General Angel, regardless of whether the Japanese have plans to attack Malaya or not, we should strengthen cooperation and jointly maintain peace in East Asia." Percival had a complicated expression, and he was probably scolding Angel for being shameless.

War is no joke.

The Indian Ocean Theater had just reminded British Malaya a day ago to be wary of Japanese attacks.

But now he has changed his story and said that the information was wrong and that he would be subject to a military court for dereliction of duty.

An Qi looked at Percival and smiled without saying anything. Her attitude was very clear, I don't need your help to testify in court.

At the same time that Percival arrived at Changi Naval Base, Changi Naval Base was organizing the evacuation of non-combatants to East India and Australia.

Although Changi Naval Base has strong defenses and is located on the front line, there are still dangers. The East Indies and Australia located further back are safer.

According to the plan for the Indian Ocean Theater, non-combatants at Changi Naval Base will be evacuated in batches to Coconut City in East India and Darwin Port in Australia. Both places are relatively safe compared to Changi Naval Base.

East India and Australia have nothing to say and welcome this decision very much.

Especially Australia.

After the outbreak of the European War, the relationship between Australia and southern Africa became stronger than before. The Australian army went to Europe to fight in seven divisions with about 120,000 troops, and the Australian troops who stayed in the mainland to strengthen defense included ten divisions, with a total strength of more than 170,000 troops.

This part of the force accepts the command of the Indian Ocean Theater.

Changi Naval Base is a military port. Most of the civilian merchant ships heading to Coconut City and Darwin Port depart from the Lion City, and Changi Naval Base will send warships to escort them.

As the most important British colony in Asia, the Lion City has always received much attention. The Straits Settlements are one of the earliest British colonies in Southeast Asia, and the main residents are Chinese.

There were also many white people who settled in the Lion City before. After the independence of East India, many white people from East India also went to settle in the Straits Settlements, which further intensified the population density of the Lion City.

Ever since French Indochina opened its borders to Japan, British Malaya has faced the threat of war. Smart people all know that Japan will launch an attack on British Malaya sooner or later. As time goes by, more and more people want to leave the Lion City.

The number of visitors is increasing, which makes it difficult to get a ticket to leave the Lion City.

In order to better provide convenience to Changi Naval Base, the Lion City opened Pier B to Changi Naval Base, and the management of Pier B was also taken over by Changi Naval Base.

The personnel on duty at Pier B are now replaced by marines stationed at Changi Naval Base and sailors from the Changi Squadron.

The two arms are easy to distinguish. The uniform of the Marine Corps is the navy's four-color camouflage, while the uniform of the sailor is the traditional sea soul shirt and a white sailor cap with black cloth strips.

There was originally no clear dividing line between Pier B and Pier A. After the Changi Squadron took over Pier B, they pulled a cordon and set up a separation zone in the center of the two piers. On one side of the cordon were Marines on duty, and on the other side were Marines on duty.

On one side is an Indian policeman wearing a red turban.

"Hey, man, do you want a bite?" an Indian policeman greeted the Marines on the other side of the isolation belt.

"Thank you, no need--" The Marine thanked him politely. He was not allowed to drink alcohol while working.

Police officers are also not allowed to drink alcohol while on the job.

However, these Indian police are difficult to manage and they don't care about these regulations.

This is not bad. More often than not, Indian police ask Marines for cigarettes.

The cigarettes issued to the Marine Corps in Southern Africa are all high-end products.

"Your rules are too strict. Relax, buddy, the Japanese haven't attacked yet -" the Indian policeman was very relaxed. He took out a silver flask and took a sip. He took out a pack of cigarettes and asked the Marines.

Indicate.

The Marine smiled and waved his hand to refuse. It would be better for the Japanese to come over. Please, come over quickly.

Coincidentally, the Indian police thought the same way.

Of course the purpose is definitely different.

The Marines were looking forward to the Japanese attack, hoping to get military medals and kill more Japanese.

The Indian police were expecting the Japanese to come over, probably so that they could get off work early.

As for when the Japanese come over, will they still rely on the Indian police to maintain law and order?

Sorry, this question is too profound for Indian policemen who have never received education.

At this time, a large group of white people hurried over with their families, luggage, and dogs.

The Indian policeman in a turban cursed in a low voice, and did not forget to take a deep breath before throwing away the cigarette he had just lit. After crushing the cigarette butt with his big leather shoes, he came forward with a serious look on his face.

"Gentlemen, the front is the military management area——"

"Go away, don't block my way!" The leading middle-aged white man was arrogant and pushed the Indian policeman away.

The middle-aged white man was panting, sweating profusely, and his face was abnormally flushed, obviously not in good health.

The logistics provided by the Straits Settlements to the Indian police are quite good. Although the turban does not stand or sit, the body is quite strong.

However, the strong Indian policeman was pushed by the weak middle-aged white man.

The turban rolled on the ground in an exaggerated manner, and then lay down calmly, closed his eyes and pretended to be dead, motionless.

The people around me had very interesting expressions, and some of the bad guys even whistled.

The corner of the turban's mouth, which was pretending to be dead, twitched and immediately returned to its motionless state.

The middle-aged white man did not stop and didn't care about the life or death of the turban. He directly lifted the isolation tape without even looking at the Marines on duty next to him.

The Marine didn't waste any time, he immediately raised the rifle with the bayonet attached, pulled the bolt and loaded the gun.

"Hey, hey, hey, stop, don't misfire, I'm British, we are all British -" The middle-aged white man's feet were as if there were brakes. White smoke appeared from the violent friction, and there was black on the asphalt floor.

brake marks——

"Sir, there is a military management area ahead. Please exit immediately -" the Marine said righteously.

The same words have completely different effects.

"Sir, we are British, we are all British, and we need to get out of here as soon as possible-" the middle-aged white man explained desperately, and others around him supported him.

"The damn Japanese are coming, please let us leave, I don't want to die here -"

"We are all British and should enjoy the privilege of leaving here early. Are there any first-class cabins on the ship?"

You actually know how to use "please", which is so polite.

"The military should provide services to the people. Isn't this what you southern Africans have always advocated -"

This is true, but the Southern African soldiers provide services to Southern Africans, not the British.

"Gentlemen, if you need to leave, please contact the Governor of the Straits. We are the Southern African Marine Corps and only provide services to Southern Africans." The Marines are neither arrogant nor humble.

It's not enough to be angry.

There are so many things like this. If I got angry every time, I wouldn't live this long and would be pissed to death long ago.

The sense of white superiority has a long history, especially in Southeast Asia.

These people are pretty good. Some of them forced their way in yesterday, and they are still locked up in the dark room.

"If the Governor of the Strait can help us leave, why should we come to you?" the middle-aged white man said confidently.

This actually sounds very reasonable.

The Marines didn't talk nonsense, and their indifferent expression showed no accommodating attitude.

"Look at this watch. Itno has just released a new model this year. If you let us on board, this watch will be yours." The middle-aged white man took off his watch and tried to bribe him.

The Marine frowned and inadvertently exposed his watch. The middle-aged white man instantly looked embarrassed.

Watches are also divided into grades.

There is also a priority when it comes to distributing goods in Itno.

The so-called new style by the middle-aged white man is actually the style launched by Itno last year.

The key is that a middle-aged white man’s watch is not as expensive as a Marine’s watch.

The middle-aged white man’s watch is an ordinary watch.

On the Marine's watch, the diamonds set at twelve o'clock sparkle in the sunlight.

Can diamond production be so luxurious?

It’s too much!

"Sir, do me a favor, you also have brothers and sisters -" A lady holding a puppy tried to play the emotional card.

The puppy in the lady's arms looked very arrogant and kept barking at the Marines.

The Marine gave him a seemingly casual look, and the puppy immediately became quiet.

It's quieter than the big turban still lying on the ground.

"They can all get on the boat, why can't we?" a young white man said angrily.

Not far away, southern Africans preparing to evacuate were boarding the ship in an orderly manner under the guidance of the staff.

This is a fully equipped luxury cruise ship with a visual displacement of about 20,000 tons. Under normal circumstances, such a ship can carry at least 2,000 people. If it is crowded, it will be doubled.

Of course, in that case, comfort cannot be guaranteed.

There are definitely no more than 1,500 southern Africans queuing up to board the ship.

Most of these 1,500 people are the elderly and children. In fact, women are also included in the evacuation, but not many women choose to leave Changi Naval Base.

Most women in southern Africa also choose to receive regular weapons training. Needless to say at Changi Naval Base, military family members are also warriors when they take up weapons. They are unwilling to leave their homes at this special moment and choose to be with their husbands.

With the total death.

Children don't need to take risks, they have a bright future, so move to a safer place.

If possible, the elderly would not want to leave, but the children always need someone to take care of them.

"Because they are southern Africans." The Marine replied with pride.

The British Empire today is no longer the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets" before.

It is a pity that many British people do not accept this fact.

"Are we not human beings?" the middle-aged white man secretly changed his mind.

"This question should be asked to the Governor of the Strait." The Marine said with a joking smile on his face.

Same people but different fates.

"That's too much. We are British, and we are also qualified to board the ship." The lady holding the dog was extremely angry, and the southern Africans not far away had already begun to board the ship.

"Yes, we are also qualified to board the ship -" The middle-aged white man waved his chubby hands, shouted dissatisfied, and raised his feet to cross the isolation zone.

"Stop or I will shoot. This is the first warning!" the Marine yelled.

"It's fake, they will never dare to shoot!" the middle-aged white man said, saying that he was too upright and stopped in his tracks.

At this time, more Marines and sailors came to reinforce them, their snow-white bayonets lined up in a row, as neatly as if they had been measured with a ruler.

"Your guns should be aimed at the enemy, not at us civilians -" The lady holding the dog had red circles in her eyes. These southern African soldiers were too cruel.

"This is a military-controlled area. Please leave immediately. This is the second warning!" The Marines were not accommodating. The British were even more ruthless during the Opium War.

"Oh God, someone come and save us, we just want to get out of here -" The lady holding the dog fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

This is a rhythm of one crying, two making trouble, and three hanging.

"Madam, if you want to cry, please go back outside the military-controlled area." The Marine's words really made the woman cry.
