The Undead Empire That Travels Through the Multiverse

"What's your name, and your age?" George Blake was sitting at a table, lowering his head and recording in a thick register. Hearing someone approaching, he asked numbly in English.

"Zhang Chaosheng, 19 years old." The young man in front of him was a few years older than George. His slightly dark face was still a little childish, but his eyes were full of enthusiasm. While answering George Black's questions, he was also quite enthusiastic. He asked with concern: "Sir, are your troops going to China to fight the Japanese?"

Hearing the young man's question, George Blake raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him who was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and seemed to have received a good education. He nodded slightly and then said: "This is a military secret. I I have no right to tell you the answer, but the Egyptian government has declared war on Japan, and sooner or later we will join the battlefield."

"I understand, thank you, sir." Zhang Chaosheng received George Black's answer and did not ask any more questions. After thanking him, he registered his information and walked aside with the form.

Looking at Zhang Chaosheng walking towards the military camp, George Blake rubbed the bridge of his nose tiredly and shouted outside: "Next."

He is now in Singapore. The British army provided them with a military camp as a base and allowed them to recruit new recruits locally. Due to the shortage of manpower, George Blake was arranged to register the new recruits.

Of course, those who can come to him have already gone through a round of screening. They are at least high-quality soldiers who have read books, understand English, and are under the age of twenty.

For example, those who are less educated and older have been screened before.

But even so, George Blake has registered at least more than two hundred recruits today.

However, this is not the limit of their recruitment this time. In fact, at the recruitment point outside the military camp, there are at least hundreds of people waiting in line to register, and there are more people coming from the entire Nanyang region.

As for why so many people want to join their army, and why they recruit troops in Singapore, we have to start with the fact that Chen Mo asked him to follow the Dragon Emperor's troops to the Asian battlefield.

According to Chen Mo's order, Dragon Emperor's troops will undergo modernization training, and George Blake and No. 14 went ahead to Singapore, which was still a British colony at this time.

Chen Mo has already said hello to the British. They can recruit local Chinese in Singapore to form a mage regiment and the mage regiment's escort force.

However, although the British agreed to their recruitment, they still imposed restrictions. They could only recruit one regiment of new soldiers, which was 1,500 people.

So George Black was assigned by No. 14 to register new recruits. Although he was nominally the leader of the mage group, he obviously still had to do this job himself.

The British did provide some staff, but on the 14th, they only arranged those staff at the recruitment point at the entrance of the military camp to be responsible for preliminary registration and screening, and did not allow them to participate in more detailed work.

It’s just that this will inevitably lead to a shortage of manpower.

On the 14th, the young people recruited need to be screened, and those who have the ability to learn magic should be selected as candidates for the mage corps. The officer corps they brought will need to be responsible for the training of other recruits, so the registration work will also be done. Naturally, it fell on George Blake.

George Blake himself was not opposed to this job, but registering hundreds of people for a whole day still made him feel numb.

In particular, most of the people who applied to join the army were local Chinese. Although they could speak English, their names were basically Chinese, which undoubtedly made George Blake's job more difficult.

Fortunately, most of the young people who were able to qualify for the mage corps through the primary election had a good level of education. In addition, during this period, Southeast Asia was basically a colony of Britain, France and Spain, so they would all write their names in English.

While registering these young people about his own age, George Blake also lamented their enthusiasm for joining the army.

Unlike the European battlefield, the war in Asia has lasted for a long time. Since Japan created the September 18th Incident in 1931, it has been scourge and wreaking havoc on China for nine years. The outbreak of the European War only gave Japan It's just an excuse for a full-scale invasion of China.

This also led to many Chinese in Southeast Asia hoping to fight the Japanese.

Although many Chinese in Southeast Asia have left their homeland for many years and have settled there and even multiplied for several generations, they have never forgotten their hometown.

Seeing the loss of their motherland, a considerable number of aspiring young people longed to return to their motherland and participate in the Anti-Japanese War.

However, due to the conditions and environment at the time, only a small number of people were able to return to the country and join the army. The vast majority of them still only had a passion for serving the country, but had no way to do so.

We can only make some contribution to the country's war of resistance in the form of donations of money and materials.

However, even so, these overseas wanderers also made extremely huge contributions to the Anti-Japanese War.

Historically, according to post-war statistics, overseas Chinese in Nanyang subscribed for 51,150,346 yuan in national salvation bonds, 6,265,138 yuan in national defense bonds, 2,915,880 yuan in gold bonds and 22,924 gold coins from 1937 to 1939. By the summer of 1941, they had purchased a total of 682 million yuan in bonds; as of 1942 In 2017, the total amount of bond purchases reached 1.1 billion yuan, accounting for more than one-third of the total public bonds issued by the National Government.

These public debts were not repaid by the National Government after the war and were no different than donations.

Now that there was an opportunity to return to China to participate in the Anti-Japanese War, various overseas Chinese groups in the Nanyang region naturally participated enthusiastically and sent their young people over, hoping that they could contribute to the anti-Japanese war and national salvation.

If George Blake were an Englishman, he might not have any feelings about this, but as a Jew, he still has a lot of empathy.

Since Jerusalem was captured by Rome in the first century AD, the Jews have been scattered around the world for almost two thousand years. It is sad for a nation without its own country.

Therefore, George Blake could understand the emotions of these young people who, although they had never seen their homeland since their fathers, were so eager to shed their lives and blood for a country they had never met.

Just like telling a Jew that he can return to the holy city of Jerusalem, he will do whatever it takes to do so.

I just don’t know when the Jews will have their own motherland? Thinking of this, George Blake couldn't help but lament.
