Chapter 1669 British surrender
At this time in Singapore, the British Army Command.
Senior British generals have already quarreled.
"The Johor Strait has been completely lost, and it is meaningless to continue to defend the dead."
"Fake, even if the Johor Strait is lost, there are still 100,000 British Empire troops in Singapore. We still have the power to fight. How can we surrender under such circumstances?"
"So what about 100,000 people? The trapped city cannot be used at all. We can no longer use it!"
"In the city? The Japanese army has broken into the city, okay? One quarter of the city has been lost!"
"Everyone, surrender! If you keep guarding, you will not be able to gain anything except to ruin the lives of 100,000 people in vain. You can surrender to the Japanese in the name of God."
"It's so embarrassing to surrender to the Japanese!"
"For more than 100,000 innocent lives and the welfare of hundreds of thousands of civilians in Singapore, what is the point of suffering a little grievance? I agree to surrender to the Japanese army."
"I agree to surrender, surrender quickly."
More than a dozen senior British generals gradually formed a unified opinion.
After a moment, everyone's eyes focused on Lieutenant General Pasival, the supreme commander.
Pasir was still hesitating in his heart. As long as his commander, division commander or even brigade commander had to talk, he didn't need to take responsibility anyway, but as the commander of the British army, he had to bear the due historical responsibility for this. Not to mention anything else, he would definitely leave his infamous in the history books of the British Empire.
If there is still a choice, Pasival really doesn't want to stay in the history books in the name of surrendering general.
But unfortunately, he seemed to have no better choice than surrender.
After hesitating for a while, Pasival finally nodded and said, "Okay, then surrender, raise the white flag, surrender unconditionally to the Japanese army."
After saying that, Pasival sat back on the chair, as if he had become aged in his teenagers and suddenly had a lot of white hair on his temples.
...
On the north side of the Johor Strait, there is a hill dozens of meters high.
On the top of this hill, the Japanese army built an observation post.
The commander of the Japanese 18th Division, Ryoya Mudaguchi, brought his chief of staff, Otsuki Kazuji to the observation post and was observing Singapore city across the narrow sea through the artillery mirror.
The higher resolution artillery mirror was returned to Mudaguchi Ryoya, and Otsuki Kenji could only use a telescope.
Although the resolution of the telescope is obviously not as good as that of the artillery mirror, its vision is also wider.
At some point, when Otsuki Kenji glanced across somewhere, he saw a white flag in a daze from the corner of his eyes.
Well, Baiqi? Otsuki Kenji's heart suddenly moved, and he turned his telescope and looked in that direction.
As soon as he saw, a hint of ecstasy surged in Otsuki Kenji's heart, because through the telescope's vision, he saw a rising white flag!
"Teacher Commander!" Otsuki Kenji immediately shouted excitedly, "Nine o'clock!"
"Huh?" Mudaguchi Ryo was also startled by Otsuki Kenji's roar. He subconsciously turned the artillery to look at nine o'clock, and then he also saw the rising white flag.
"Huh?" Mutaguchi Ryokawa also exclaimed lightly and said again, "Have the British army surrendered?"
"Hayi!" Otsuki Kenji put down his telescope, paused heavily and said, "Surrender!"
"Yo Xi!" Mutaguchi Ryokawa nodded happily, and said, "Order the troops entering the city to accept the surrender of the British army and send good news to the headquarters. Singapore has been captured by our army, and the more than 100,000 British troops stationed in Singapore have surrendered! The war on the Malay Peninsula has ended successfully."
At this time, Otsuki Kenji had calmed down.
"Teacher Commander." Otsuki Kenji said in a low voice, "Do you want to have a little more core?"
"No need." Mudaguchi Ryo also waved his hand and said, "Western people's way of thinking is completely different from that of our Eastern people. Singapore's freshwater supply has been completely cut off, so it is impossible for the British army to come up with any new tricks."
"Hayi." Otsuki Kenji paused his head and turned around and hurried down the mountain.
...
Kuala Lumpur, the interim headquarters of the 25th Japanese Army.
Ishihara Kaner cooked a pot of boiling water and was making tea.
After walking down a complete tea ceremony, a faint tea fragrance immediately spread in the quiet room.
Ishihara Kanji raised the teacup and put it on his nose and took a sip, then said in a fascination: "It's really a dragon-well before the rain. It seems that you can smell the scent of rain in the fragrance. It's really a rare good tea."
At this time, a sudden sound of rapid footsteps sounded outside the door.
"Your Excellency Commander!" The figure of Chief of Staff Gu Dina Huaxiong appeared outside the sliding door.
"What's the matter?" Ishihara smiled and asked without looking back.
Gu Dina Huaxiong said first: "I just received the good news from the 18th Division. Singapore has been taken down. More than 100,000 British troops stationed in Singapore have also surrendered. The war on the Malay Peninsula is over!"
After hearing this, Ishihara Kaner didn't have too many expressions on his face.
After drinking the tea soup in the teacup, Ishihara smiled and said, "What's so happy about this? It's just that it occupied a city and forced a landing of more than 100,000 British troops."
"Ah?" Gu Di Na Huaxiong was stunned.
Isn’t it worth being happy to have forced arriving in more than 100,000 British troops?
"Of course it's not worth being happy." Ishihara Kanir said calmly, "The British Empire is no longer the former British Empire, and the British vassal army in Singapore is even less worth mentioning and vulnerable!"
After a pause, Ishihara smiled and said, "Our real enemy is in Myanmar."
"Myanmar?" Gu Dina Huaxiong looked shaking when he heard this, and said, "Zhong Yi?"
"Yes, Zhong Yi! And the Chinese army he led!" Ishihara said, "That is our real opponent. Gu Dinajun, please be mentally prepared. Next, we will have an unprecedentedly tragic battle to fight! And in this battle, our winning rate will not exceed 60%!"
"Nani? 60%?" Gu Dina Huaxiong became more and more stern.
"Yes, 60%." Ishihara nodded and said, "Actually, 60% is already very good. After all, our opponent this time is Zhong Yi, a man who has never suffered a defeat!"
"Hayi." Gu Dinahuaxiong paused heavily and said, "But this time, victory must belong to the Great Japanese Imperial Army and the Great Japanese Empire!"
Ishihara smiled unanimously and said, "Where is the map of Myanmar?"
Gu Dina Huaxiong turned around and waved his hand. The two combat staff immediately changed the Malay Peninsula and Singapore map on the table to the Myanmar map.
Ishihara Kaner put down the teacup and immediately landed on the map.
Then, Ishihara's smiley expression immediately became serious.
Chapter completed!
