Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

May,

Haizhou State, Haizhou Railway Station,

Today, the place is bustling with people, colorful flags are flying, and a huge red banner with the words "Warmly celebrate the first launch of the Haizhou City to Yalu River City locomotive" is dancing happily in the breeze.

The railway artery that runs through Haizhou and the whole country is finally open to traffic!

The first diesel locomotive was parked quietly on the platform, its dark green body was shiny and smooth, with flowing lines. The headlights on the front of the locomotive were like piercing eyes, emitting a majestic light. From time to time, the chimney spewed out a few wisps of light smoke, accompanied by the low roar of the diesel engine, as if announcing its upcoming journey. The side of the body was sprayed with the golden dragon logo symbolizing the Haizhou Kingdom, shining brightly under the sun.

On the platform, people lined up to board the train.

Wang Feng, a farmer from Yuji, Shou County, Anhui, wiped his forehead with a coarse sweat towel and boarded the passenger train numbered "Haitie 11" with his family of five!

The carriage was filled with the scent of eucalyptus leaves and coconut oil. Children scrambled for window seats, their noses almost pressed against the glass.

As the whistle blew, the wheels and rails made a rhythmic clanging sound, and Wang Feng felt his whole body swaying gently with the roar of the locomotive. He unbuttoned the collar of his shirt and let the salty and humid wind flow in - this wind was no longer the sultry earthy smell of Shou County, but was wrapped in the unique fragrance of the tropical rain forest of Kalimantan.

The carriage 03 where Wang Feng and his companions were located was filled with immigrants from China, and Yalujiang City was their destination.

Three months ago, Wang Feng saw the immigration notice issued by Haizhou State by chance in his hometown. He was immediately attracted by the conditions.

There are no threshold conditions, and when you arrive in Haizhou, you will be provided with a house of at least 25 square meters per person, three years of free food, and at least one job opportunity or acres of land for the whole family.

Wang Feng was immediately attracted by this condition. The reason was simple. He also wanted his family to live a prosperous life. At that time, the relatively wealthy provinces in the country were Northeast China, Henan, Hebei, Jiangsu, Shandong and Guangdong. These were the provinces that Mulan City had vigorously supported in the past. Other regions were still relatively backward!

After he signed up, he waited for another three months before setting off on the journey under the arrangement of relevant staff. He first took a bus to Xinyang Railway Station in Henan, then took a train to Zhanjiang, boarded a passenger ship, and then arrived in Haizhou City!

Wang Feng recalled the scenes of the past few days in his mind. Haizhou State did keep its promise. As soon as he got off the ferry, his travel expenses were immediately reimbursed, and he was also given snacks, dry food, and a living allowance of 500 yuan!

"Dad! Look at that tree!" The little daughter suddenly pointed out the window and screamed. The daughter's cry interrupted Wang Feng's thoughts.

The train passed through a tropical rain forest!

A three-story-high Dipterocarp tree passed by, with a few red-haired monkeys jumping on the treetop. They seemed to be startled by the train and made short cries towards the carriage. The whole family burst into joyful laughter. The eldest son took out a pencil and wrote crookedly on a piece of paper: "In 1951, we saw red-haired monkeys that could climb trees on the train!"

His wife Li Yanmei took out five pieces of coconut cake from the bamboo basket and shared them with the family. Wang Feng took a bite, and the sweet coconut aroma mixed with the vibration of the train melted on his tongue. Outside the window, the continuous rubber forest and palm trees were receding rapidly!

In the southern part of the island, the Chinese population only accounts for 20-25%, so Yin Xinjun decided to immigrate a large number of people from China, and Wang Feng's family was the first batch of immigrants! In Wang Feng's batch alone, there were 2476 households with a total of 8532 people who settled in the southern part of the island!

Australia,

West Coast,

On the deck of the "Albatross" Coast Guard ship,

Lookout Jack's telescope suddenly shook violently - at the end of the sea level, a string of black silhouettes were piercing through the low-hanging clouds and slowly emerging. He rubbed his eyes and observed intently.

After a while,

His heartbeat also suddenly accelerated.

That's a whole fleet!

The scarlet battle flags flying on the top of the island fluttered in the wind, and the golden dragon anchor emblem glowed coldly in the sun.

"They're coming again!" Jack's shout tore through the silence of the bridge. Captain Henry rushed forward, and the sight in the telescope made his pupils shrink. Two giant aircraft carriers with hull numbers 001 and 002, with the large gilded characters "Mulan!" and "Guiying!" on the bow hulls glittering in the sun.

"They're treating our territorial waters like their own backyard," Jack whispered in his ear.

Henry's camera was shaking as it took blurry pictures. In the lens, the busy figures of the ground crew on the deck of the aircraft carrier were clearly visible. The soldiers in bright yellow uniforms were mounting bombs on the fighter planes. The entire fleet was like a precision-operating war machine.

As the sharp whistle pierced the sky, twelve silver-gray Meng Tian attack aircraft slowly began to taxi on the deck of the Mulan aircraft carrier. The airflow stirred by the propellers set off huge white waves. The fighter planes took off into the sky with a long roar, and the heavy bombs mounted under the wings shone coldly under the refraction of the sun. At the same time, the catapult of the Guiying aircraft carrier made a huge roar, and another wave of attack aircraft formed a goose formation and rushed towards the target ship in the designated sea area.

In an instant, torpedoes and bombs poured down like black raindrops. The target ship three miles away was instantly engulfed by an orange-red fireball. The violent explosion raised a water column tens of meters high, and debris and thick smoke soared into the sky.

Then, the guns on the decks of the four destroyers roared in unison, and the muzzles of the 155mm naval guns spewed out orange flames, and the deafening roar echoed on the sea. The dense rain of bullets was like a steel rainstorm, smashing the other target ship to pieces!

Soon after, the two aircraft carriers simultaneously launched an air defense drill. The anti-aircraft guns on the island raised their gun barrels, and tracer bullets formed a dense fire net, drawing a gorgeous arc in the sky. The destroyers and cruisers of the entire fleet also joined in, and the anti-aircraft firepower on both sides of the ship was fully opened. The sea and the sky were instantly filled with dense bullet lights.

Jack's ears were buzzing and his hands holding the telescope were shaking uncontrollably.

This was the second time in recent times that he had seen Haizhou State warships conducting large-scale live-fire exercises, and the location of the exercises was only twelve nautical miles away from Australian territorial waters!

He watched these huge aircraft carrier battle groups wantonly displaying their terrifying combat power at the edge of Australian territorial waters. When the last fighter plane completed its dive bombing and returned to the aircraft carrier with a long tail of smoke, Jack finally understood that this sea area that once belonged to Australia has now become a training ground for the Haizhou Navy. And their small patrol boat could do nothing but silently record this shocking scene.
