Chapter Six Grabbing the Coolies

() Liu Xiaofu was immediately happy when he saw this information. The Americans can't do anything to them, but that doesn't mean the Taiwanese army can't do anything to them. As for whether they are civilians or not, and whether they should harass people during the war, this is not something Liu Xiaofu needs to consider.

In his opinion, as long as it is a war between the two countries, there is no distinction between civilians and armies. Civilians are the reserve forces of the army. Anyway, the war with the Japanese has lasted for more than ten years. If you want to fight you, it is

It's normal. It would be abnormal if I didn't hit you.

At the moment, Liu Xiaofu found the local collaborators left behind by the Americans. They understood them rationally and moved them emotionally. Finally, they agreed that they could hand over the logistics and procurement of the thousands of people in the Mountain Division to these people. Finally, they got the deal.

It took less than a week for these collaborators, led by local businessmen and landowners, to work together. These people are worthy of being local snakes.

A list of the approximate number and location of Japanese plantations and processing plants in Mindanao was already on Liu Xiaofu's desk. Liu Xiaofu took a quick look and realized, hey, there are quite a few. There are more than 120 plantations alone.

, there are more than 20 processing plants. Most of the processing plants are near Davao City, and plantations are all over Mindanao.

In order not to be exposed early, Liu Xiaofu did not attack the Japanese directly. Instead, he dispatched more soldiers and vehicles from the camp to 11 garrison points, and divided the Japanese plantations near each garrison point.

came out, and the local garrison was responsible for it, on May 10th

, launch an attack together, destroy the plantation, arrest as many Japanese people and staff working for the Japanese, and then escort them to the Mountain Division Headquarters in Davao City. And the dozens of Japanese processing factories near Davao City

, Liu Xiaofu will be dispatched by the headquarters to the nearest troops to arrest him.

Tadazuki is a Japanese man in his 50s. A few years ago, his shipping company in Makurazaki Town, Kyushu Island, went bankrupt. The reason for the bankruptcy was that the fleet of machinery and equipment that was transporting a large silk factory in Kyushu was passing by.

He disappeared while crossing the Taiwan Strait. After 2 months of searching, he was still found

This fleet of three cargo ships with a capacity of over 5,000 tons was not found. Faced with the debt collection from silk mills and banks, Tadazuki had no choice but to watch the creditors take over his property, real estate and docks.

There are two other Tada Shipping Company cargo ships docked on board.

The shipping company that had been run by the Tada family for several generations just disappeared. His father died of anger on the hospital bed, and the Tada family moved from a big house to a slum near the seaside. Just when Tada was getting depressed and was drinking to drink,

A friend who had done business with Tada before told Tada the news that Tada's cargo ship was probably intercepted or sunk by the Taiwanese, and said that this kind of thing had started to happen many years ago, but Japan's government

Fu has never told these Japanese shipowners that many well-informed Japanese cargo ships no longer dare to go through the Taiwan Strait, but instead bypass the southern Philippines and cross farther sea and land.

These cargo ships detouring around the southern Philippines accidentally discovered where Manila hemp was abundant a few years ago, but the locals did not process these crops and only hand-woven some fishing nets and ropes for home use. He told Tada the news and promised to borrow

Give Tada some funds to develop the abaca cultivation and processing industry in the southern Philippines.

When Tada heard the news, he didn't think too much. He directly agreed to the friend's suggestion and sold the last piece of land left by his father. With a sum of money funded by his friend, he took his wife and children with him.

Arrive at Davao City in Mindanao.

When Tadazuki came to Davao City, the Spanish-American War had not yet ended. By bribing an American major, Tadazuki directly took over a plantation that originally belonged to the Spanish from the American army and began to plant Manila.

numb.

Due to the unusually mild climate near Davao City, earthquakes and typhoons rarely visit here. It took Tada 6 years to pay off his friend's loan, and acquired two more plantations, which he purchased from Japan.

machinery and equipment, and built a Manila hemp processing plant.

As many people like Tadazuki made a fortune growing Manila hemp in the Philippines, the news spread back to Japan, and more Japanese people began to go to Mindanao to buy plantations and build processing plants. Americans were very concerned about this kind of

Non-governmental economic development did not pay much attention. At that time, they were busy dealing with the local Du Li uprising in the Philippines.

However, recently, Tada heard some news that he was not very happy about. The Taiwanese who sank his cargo ship and bankrupted himself came to Mindanao, and they were not ordinary people, but the Taiwanese Army. It was said that they came to help the Americans.

To maintain local law and order.

Tadazuki, who has lived here for many years, knows very well the attitude of these locals towards Americans. They may drink and have fun with you at the cocktail party, but once you are alone, what is waiting for you is their bullets or bullets.

A machete for chopping bananas. When I first arrived here, these lazy Filipinos

People also robbed and stole their plantations. However, after Tada later smuggled a batch of guns and ammunition that had been eliminated by the Japanese Army from Japan and armed his own manor, these local people did not dare to come.

He provoked him, and even tried to get close to Tada, and bought many weapons from Tada.

Thinking of these weapons, Tadazuki couldn't help but feel a little scared. The locals buying weapons from him were definitely not for hunting. They were used to deal with Americans. However, it was difficult for those Americans to understand this due to differences in culture and language.

Funny, but now the Taiwanese are here. If these Taiwanese troops know that they sell weapons to local armed forces, their ending will definitely not be much better. Even the Japanese Navy and Army have been defeated by these damn Taiwanese many times. They

They can only deal with the Japanese more harshly than the Americans.

After thinking about the weapons, Tada thought of the many failures of the Japanese Navy and Army. The more he thought about it, the more complicated it became. Tada quickly shook his dull head to get rid of these irrelevant thoughts and calm down.

, quickly think about how to deal with these Taiwanese troops, is to quickly move the plantations and

Should we sell the processing plants and return to China with the money? Or should we continue to wait and see? Maybe the Taiwanese military will not attack these Japanese plantations and processing plants because of the US military's sake? After all, it is an industry acquired through years of hard work, Tada

Like many plantation owners, Zhu Zhu did not want to sell this property easily.

"Huh? Why are there lights?" Tadazuki was worrying about his plantations and processing plants at the table. He accidentally saw a few lights coming from the dirt road in the distance through the gaps in the gauze curtain. Due to the rain on the island,

There are plenty of mosquitoes, so Tadazuki's residence is modeled after the locals, with wooden pillars propped up under the floor, making the whole house more than 1 meter above the ground, so standing in the house, you can see far away, and there are a few lights

Very bright and dazzling.

The lights moved very fast. Relying on his familiarity with his plantation, Tadazuki knew that the direction of those lights was the only dirt road from the plantation to the outside world, and the approximate distance of the lights was already at the gate of the plantation.

The locals and the dogs who were responsible for guarding the gate made no sound. Tadazuki felt something ominous. His gatekeeper had a gun, and at night, there were at least four locals on night watch at the gate.

There are more and more lights, getting closer, and along with the lights, you can already hear a rumbling sound, just like the steam engine in your own processing factory, but the sound frequency is higher and crisper. Even closer, Tadazuki borrowed

Those lights can be seen to be emitted by the head of a huge black shadow, and the rectangular black shadow is traveling very fast.

"Squeak...squeak...bang...crash..." Before Tadazuki could reach the door of his room, there was a harsh friction sound and some commotion coming from outside his wooden building.

Immediately afterwards, Tadazuki was going downstairs when he saw some figures jumping down from the black shadows that had stopped. There were dozens of them, and several black figures were running towards him.
