After Zhou Weiguo saw Du Yuming and others, they had a conversation. Of course, it was Du Yuming and others who encouraged Zhou Weiguo and said that the man had been investigated. After that, they prepared to rest and prepare to set off the next day.
Historically, this inspection team should have gone for inspection at this time a year ago. When it arrived, it was delayed until this year. Although the Sino-British alliance was established very early, there was not much cooperation.
Zhou Weiguo didn't know what went wrong, but there was nothing to worry about.
Precisely because time is tight, the British may not have time to delay.
…
On the 21st, several planes departed from Kunming Wujiaba Airport.
…
In the blink of an eye, it’s already February.
Due to time constraints, the inspection by Zhou Weiguo and others only had the last week left.
Regarding the defense of Singapore, Myanmar and other places, Zhou Weiguo found that the British and their priorities were really different. As Zhou Weiguo said to Dai Anlan before, the British focused more on Singapore, but as far as China is concerned, it is definitely more
I hope I can keep Myanmar.
"With different goals, the deployment will be more focused." Du Yuming frowned, and after more than ten days, there was a look of exhaustion on his face.
Shang Zhen nodded, "But the British have different priorities than us, what should we do?"
"Just submit the report based on the facts." Lin Wei said.
Zhou Weiguo sighed, don't submit it, there is no use submitting it, because in a few days, Japan will attack Singapore, and even if it deploys defenses, it will be too late.
However, this is also in line with Zhou Weiguo's thoughts. In this way, they only need to defend Burma. If Singapore is added, their logistics line will be too long. From Yangon to Singapore, the straight-line distance is only
Nearly 2000 kilometers.
"Weiguo, what do you think?" Du Yuming looked at Zhou Weiguo.
Zhou Weiguo shook his head, "It's too late."
"It's too late?"
"What do you mean?" Several people were confused.
"In the past few days, the Japanese army has been getting closer and closer to Singapore." Zhou Weiguo said, pointing to the map. "Even if the report is submitted and the defense is completed, it will probably be too late."
At this time, a few people were shocked to realize that the Japanese had actually reached this point.
"This!" Several people were busy investigating these days and ignored this matter for a while.
Randomly, Shang Zhen smiled bitterly, "In this case, it is indeed too late. Unless now, immediately, the British open the border and allow the expeditionary force to enter Myanmar, then to Yangon, and then take a boat to Singapore."
The faces of several people were not good-looking. They were obviously good, but they were all British people who were dragging their feet here and there.
"So, please hand in the report truthfully. If you hand it in now, we still have time to deploy in Yangon." Zhou Weiguo said, "Of course, we must put pressure on the British government. Otherwise, if we delay it again and again, we will no longer have the opportunity to conduct inspections."
necessary."
"Um."
…
Japan, Southern Army Command.
"The China inspection team is now in Singapore?" A Japanese general narrowed his eyes, "Besides, there are also Zhou Weiguo, Du Yuming, Shang Zhen and other senior officials in the inspection team?"
"Hi! Your Excellency, Commander!"
"Yoshi! In that case, what's the harm in us attacking Singapore in advance?"
"What do you mean, Commander?"
"Step up the attack on Malaya! Tomorrow, if appropriate, we can send a group of fighter planes to Singapore!"
"Hi!"
…
Japan, Tokyo.
Emperor Showa looked at the recent battle reports and was in a good mood.
Although China has established an expeditionary force, the expeditionary force was established in December last year. It is already February and the expeditionary force has not even crossed the border.
"In this way, it is inevitable that the empire will conquer all of Southeast Asia." Emperor Showa smiled, "At that time, the empire can also attack China from the north and the south together!"
Tojo Hideki frowned and asked, "Has Your Majesty forgotten that the independent division is in North China?"
Emperor Showa's face darkened, and he just said this, does Tojo Hideki have to break it? Besides, isn't this their ultimate goal? "Prime Minister Tojo, this is the ultimate goal of the empire, isn't it? In
The Pacific Ocean is centered on the Empire! A hundred years ago, a thousand years ago, this land was centered on China! Could it be that the Empire cannot have this status?"
Tojo Hideki sighed, "Of course we can have an empire! However, that requires the unyielding efforts of everyone in the empire! The current achievements are far from enough."
Emperor Showa also sighed, "Yes, today's achievements are far from enough! There is an old saying in China, which is called, fullness brings harm, modesty benefits. It means to encourage people to be humble."
"Hi!"
"Although the empire has achieved its current achievements, there is still a large area of land that has not been captured in China! There is still a large area of land that has not been captured in Southeast Asia! Tojo-kun, the future of the empire depends on you!"
"Hi! However, I feel that the empire can give the British some opportunities for peace in a timely manner." Tojo Hideki said, "In this way, the British will further delay the pace of the Chinese army."
"Oh!" Emperor Showa nodded with satisfaction, "That's true. Although Germany was temporarily defeated in the Soviet Union, Britain was still suppressed by Germany. This is a fact. In this case, this matter will be left to Tojo-kun.
, I want to see results as soon as possible."
"Hi!"
…
February 3, 5 o'clock, Singapore. Dozens of bombers appeared in the sky.
Zhou Weiguo woke up with a start. He seemed to hear the sound of a plane?
After listening carefully, it’s true!
At this time, the British army will definitely not have any planes in the sky, it is the Japanese!
"Zhao Sheng! Zhao Sheng!" Zhou Weiguo shouted.
Zhao Sheng's alertness was a little low. After all, he was in Singapore now and was mentally exhausted after running around for more than ten days.
"What's up, Master!" Zhou Weiguo shouted loudly, and Zhao Sheng also woke up.
"The little devil's plane is coming!"
"What?" Zhao Sheng couldn't believe it, but at this moment, he also heard the sound of the plane and looked out the window. The sky was only dim. At this time, only the little Japanese plane would come.
Zhou Weiguo had already put on his clothes, got up, opened the door, and looked into the sky.
Sure enough, dozens of planes were getting closer and closer to them.
Moreover, these planes are still descending.
"Bomber!" Zhou Weiguo gritted his teeth, "Zhao Sheng, hurry up and call everyone up and prepare to hide."
"yes!"
Then, Zhou Weiguo saw small black dots falling from the sky.
That's a bomb!
Soon, mushroom clouds rose in the distance!
The sound of the explosion also reached Zhou Weiguo's ears.
Many people woke up at this moment.
"Oh! God! Bomber!"
"Hurry and take cover!"
"Japanese bombers?"
"Who else could it be?"
"Damn Japanese!"
Suddenly, Singapore began to be in chaos.
After a while, Du Yuming and others also came out, stood beside Zhou Weiguo, and took a breath. What Zhou Weiguo said yesterday was indeed correct! It was too late!
But after all, these people had experienced big scenes, but they didn't panic.
"Let's go to the air raid shelter first." A British soldier ran over and said.
