    The war in Southeast Asia was going very smoothly. In late December, many Chinese troops began to appear on the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and even some islands in Indonesia.

    In order to wipe out the remaining Japanese troops in Southeast Asia as soon as possible, China has increased its troops to Southeast Asia several times. The number of troops invested in Southeast Asia has reached ten armies, with more than 500,000 troops. The entire Southeast Asia is full of soldiers.

    Chinese tanks can be seen in many cities and on many main roads. Under the fierce attack of the Chinese [***] squadron, the entire Southeast Asian Japanese Army either surrendered or was annihilated. The Southeast Asian Japanese Army  The scale is getting smaller and smaller, and the war is gradually coming to an end.

    ?? ******The Strait of Malacca, close to Singapore, the huge military port is gradually coming to an end. The Chinese fleet has begun to appear from time to time in the offshore waters outside the military port.

    After the construction here is completed, it will be an important base for the Chinese Navy in the Strait of Malacca, and the entire Strait of Malacca will be under the control of the squadron [***].

    The Chinese Navy is now booming. Not only has it built many large military ports, but the size of its fleet has also continued to expand. At present, the Pacific Fleet is already very large, with two aircraft carriers, three battleships, six heavy cruisers, and eleven  Light cruisers, more than thirty guided-missile destroyers, a dozen guided-missile frigates, plus transport ships, supply ships, etc., the entire fleet reaches nearly two hundred large and small warships.

    In addition, there are more than a dozen submarines of various sizes, equipped with 500 to 600 Mustang fighters, a total of 70 to 80 armed helicopters and transport helicopters, dozens of transport aircraft, and a personnel of more than 300,000 people.

    In addition to the Pacific Fleet, the preparations for the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet are also gradually coming to an end. The Indian Ocean Fleet has three aircraft carrier formations. Each aircraft carrier formation not only has an aircraft carrier, but also light and heavy cruisers, guided missile destroyers, frigates, transport ships and supply ships, etc.  The battle group consisted of five to sixty ships, large and small.

    ??The transformation and upgrading work of receiving three aircraft carriers from the Japanese Navy has been basically completed. One has been delivered to the Chinese Navy¡¯s Indian Ocean Fleet, and the remaining two will complete the transformation and upgrading work within a month and will also be delivered to the Chinese Navy¡¯s Indian Ocean Fleet.

    The first aircraft carrier delivered for use is called "Wuhan". In order to commemorate the countless heroes and anti-Japanese soldiers who died in the Battle of Wuhan, the remaining two will be called "Nanjing" and "Shanghai" respectively to commemorate the early days of the Anti-Japanese War.  The heroes who died in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing.

    The first military port of the Indian Ocean Fleet is near Moulmein. This large-scale military port is under construction and has been under construction for more than a month. This is not only a military port, but also a huge military base. The entire base covers an area of  More than one hundred square kilometers.

    Not only is the Chinese Navy¡¯s Mawlamyine Military Port here, but the Chinese Army in Myanmar is also stationed here. Not only is there a large military port, there will also be a large airport and a huge military camp.

    A large number of Japanese prisoners of war in Southeast Asia are working here to contribute to the construction of this military base.

    There are busy construction sites everywhere, with at least tens of thousands of workers. In addition to the 20,000 to 30,000 small Japanese free laborers wearing uniforms with large numbers on the backs and chests of the uniforms, there are also a large number of local laborers.

    Such a large project requires a huge amount of labor force. There are no advanced construction machinery at this time, and the construction period is very urgent. China has recruited a large number of local labor force.

    "These people are basically local people near Moulmein. I heard that people are being hired here to work. They have three meals a day and two liters of rice a day. Many people come to the construction site to work.

    Not long ago, the entire Burmese Japanese Army was wiped out by the Chinese [***] squadron. It was just over a month. The Burmese New Deal had just been established. The entire Burma had just come out of dire straits. The life of the local people was very difficult. Basically  I ate tons of food but didn¡¯t finish it.

    After the news spread that China's Mawlamyine military base was about to start construction and would recruit tens of thousands of strong labor force, local people signed up one after another and asked to participate in labor. They were provided with three meals a day and two liters of rice every day. Such a good thing,  It's just pie in the sky.

    "It's time to eat! It's time to eat!"

    At noon, just as everyone stopped to rest, someone shouted loudly, and soon, a large truck and more than a dozen soldiers came over.

    This area is full of local Burmese people. There are veterans who have been working here for a month, and there are novice laborers who have just arrived here. When everyone saw the truck coming, they gathered around.

    ¡°Get in line, don¡¯t rush!¡±

    "A soldier saw a large number of Burmese laborers surrounding him and immediately shouted loudly. When he heard the shouts, these people immediately became quiet and lined up to get rice with various rice bowls.

    "Wow! It's all white rice."?¡±

    A young man wearing white washed clothes with several patches saw the steaming white rice and immediately started shouting. Many people nearby laughed when they looked at this man.

    "Young man! Are you new here?" A strong man in his thirties asked with a smile.

    "How do you know I'm new here?" This young man was confused. He didn't know this strong man, but others seemed to know him.

    Seeing the young man¡¯s expression, many people around him laughed even more.

    When I saw the white rice, I yelled in surprise. I must be new here. The food here has always been good. It is usually white rice, which is still filling, and there are usually one or two side dishes.

    ??In the beginning, especially on the first day of major construction, these Myanmar locals were shocked when they saw that the meal was served with white rice and a side dish. They did not expect that the food was so good.

    After working for about ten days, one day, a piece of braised pork was added. Although each person only had one scoop and the braised pork was not enough, these Burmese people were still completely crazy.

    ??Every one of them had greasy mouths, and there were at least several large pieces of braised pork in the ladle. These people who had not eaten meat for a long time simply couldn't believe that they could still eat braised pork.

    This braised pork meal was talked about by these people throughout the construction site. They talked about it for several days. Later, it spread outside and into the city of Mawlamyine. From then on, more and more people came over and asked for  Participate in labor construction.

    Now, when everyone sees this young man yelling in surprise, everyone knows that he must be new here. If you have worked here for a while, you will know that not only is there plenty of food here, but also basically white rice.  .

    When it was this young man's turn, he was a little trembling with excitement and handed over his big bowl with a slight trembling. The cook was also more generous and filled a bowl of rice with some rice on top.  Big scoop of green vegetables.

    Looking at the green vegetables and the full bowl of white rice, the young man immediately gobbled it up.

    Several soldiers nearby smiled slightly when they saw the young man's appearance. Unexpectedly, in the eyes of everyone, it was not considered a good meal at all, but in the eyes of these people, it was simply too good to be good.  .

    The food of the soldiers is naturally more than one grade higher than that of the labor force. Not only is every meal meaty, but there are also many more varieties.

    At present, the country is developing rapidly, and there are successive bumper grain harvests. In particular, the grain yield per mu has been greatly increased. In addition, large areas of land in Outer Mongolia and Siberia have been recovered, especially the Siberian region near Heilongjiang, which is the main grain-producing area.  The army's food supply is sufficient.

    There is a lot of construction going on here. In the eyes of the soldiers, the food provided to these local people who come to work is only acceptable at best. However, in the eyes of these local people who basically don¡¯t have enough to eat, working here is simply  A good job.

    The number of local people participating in labor and construction here has increased from a few thousand on the first day to tens of thousands now. A large number of people have participated in the construction. The construction speed of the entire Moulmein military base can be seen with the naked eye. It is like one thing every day.  .

    Just providing three meals with a meal, and two liters of rice, in exchange for a labor force, and a positive and energetic labor force, in fact, it is a lot of money.

    Now, construction has started for more than a month.

    This military port of the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet has begun to take shape, because it was originally a seaport, and it only needs a slight transformation. Now, as the military port begins to take shape, a large number of labor forces are focusing on building airports and future China  The military camp of the troops stationed in Myanmar.

    Although the labor force for military port construction is much smaller, there are still thousands of laborers working in the entire military port.

    Offshore.

    A huge aircraft carrier formation has been approaching the military port. The Mawlamyine military port has begun to take shape. Large warships and even aircraft carriers can dock without any problems.

    This aircraft carrier formation is the first aircraft carrier formation of the Chinese Navy in the Indian Ocean. The core of the aircraft carrier formation is the "Wuhan" aircraft carrier with a displacement of 50,000 to 60,000 tons. In addition, there are three light cruisers of 5,000 and 6,000 tons, and seven or eight  Guided missile destroyers, in addition to several guided missile frigates, supply ships, etc., there are more than twenty warships of various sizes.

    Although these are not all the warships of the First Aircraft Carrier Group, they are also most of the main force. The First Aircraft Carrier Group departed from Haikou Naval Port, passed through the Strait of Malacca, and arrived in Moulmein for the purpose of conducting ocean-going training.

    The war in Southeast Asia is coming to an end. Naturally, there is no combat mission for the newly established Indian Ocean Fleet. Even if there is a mission, it is a matter for the Pacific Fleet.

    ? ?The current main task of the established Indian Ocean Fleet is training. In a few months, it may enter the European battlefield and fight Germany with the Allies. This was China's commitment when the Tokyo Treaty was signed.
