Chapter 435: Special Operations

Tao Gong pondered carefully for a while what his brother said: "Brother, this is the case, but who will contact Westerners, who will contact Li Zicheng, we don't seem to have a very suitable candidate." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

"No one can do these things." Tao Min touched the braid on the back of his head, "This thing has been with me for years, and it's time to say goodbye." ā€

Tao Gong was once again confused by his brother: "Brother, do you want to cut your braids?" ā€

Tao Min laughed self-deprecatingly: "Is there any use in keeping this thing, I want to go to see Li Zicheng can't go like this, wouldn't it be better to cut it and pretend to be a monk." ā€

"Brother, I still have a question." Tao Gong asked again, "You want the Westerners to go to war with Yulin Bay, in case the Westerners don't agree, they may not dare to go, and they can't beat the Pearl." ā€

"That's what I've thought of too." Tao Min smiled, "One more thing will happen next year." Even the Dutch, Spaniards, and Portuguese did not dare to provoke Yulin Bay, but someone might dare that the British came. ā€

"British?" Tao Gong was not familiar with this history, "Brother, who are you talking about?" ā€

"Captain John of the British Royal Navy? Weddell. Tao Min pulled his brother and sat down, "Weddell's fleet of six warships, which left England in April this year, should now be in Goa, India. In the original history, they entered Malacca in January next year, arrived in Humen in Guangzhou in July, and fought a battle with the Ming defenders in Humen in August and won the victory. ā€

"You don't have to think about it yet." Tao Min saw that his younger brother had not spoken, and then said, "How to pull the British to our side, I will think about it." You hurry up and go back to Nanpu now, send the guns to Naturalization City as soon as possible, and I will have someone go to Naturalization City to deliver news to your people. You are preparing to attack Japan in Nanpu, and I will go to see Huang Taiji, and then go to Li Zicheng first, and then go to Macao to contact the Westerners. We will keep in touch at all times, and make all preparations by the end of February next year at the latest, and this time we must be caught off guard by Yulin Bay. ā€

"I know, brother, I'll be ready for anything." Tao Gong stood up and said.

"One more thing." Tao Min instructed again, "Pay close attention to He Tong's movements, and don't let him know about our plan." ā€

"Brother, I think you're too careful." Tao Gong said, "I have paid attention to He Tong these days, and there is nothing special about it. ā€

"If he could make you see it, it wouldn't be him." Tao Min smiled, "Whether he is or not, he is from Yulin Bay." But don't touch him, I'm going to use him, and I still need him to help us get back to Yulin Bay for some news. ā€

"Brother, what news do you need him to help us send back to Yulin Bay?"

"You go back to Nanpu to do something." Tao Min leaned on his brother's ear and whispered a few words, Tao Gong couldn't help nodding, "I understand, I will definitely do this well." ā€

Tao Min stood in front of the map again: "Brother, if you are Yulin Bay, what will you plan next after taking Taiwan?" ā€

"If I were Yulin Bay." Tao Gong looked at the map for a while, "I will carve up Taiwan with Zheng Zhilong, and then take the Philippines." ā€

"You mean that Yulin Bay will develop in the South Seas?" Tao Min shook his head, "No, their first goal will not change, it is still the Northeast, and they will do everything they can to weaken us." ā€

"But even if there are rifled guns in Yulin Bay, their army numbers are too small, and their strength is at sea."

"It is precisely because their strength is at sea that they will definitely make some moves after taking Taiwan." Tao Min looked at the map and said, "Now that Xu Lang is the chief of the General Staff, Leng Tianbing is also a bit of a ghost, the two of them will find a way to harass us, but where will they harass us." ā€

"Brother, will they attack North Korea again?"

"North Korea or Japan?" Tao Min thought for a while, "I don't think it's possible. They should choose a place where they can directly threaten us. ā€

"If it is attacked from the sea, the place that can directly threaten us should be Lushun. But brother, we have arranged a heavy defense in Lushun, can Yulin Bay come to fight Lushun? ā€

Tao Min was reminded by his brother's words: "Yes, you are right, they should attack Lushun." Even if we can't beat Lushun, it will contain a lot of our energy, Lushun is too close to Shengjing, and it is very convenient to attack Lushun from Dengzhou. ā€

"Then let's fight fast and slow, and take advantage of Wang Zhaoxing's absence to fight Dengzhou first."

Tao Min shook his head again: "Still not good." Dengzhou is backed by the mainland, even if we can fight down, as long as the warships in Yulin Bay blockade from the sea, Dengzhou will be an isolated city and will not be able to hold it at all. ā€

Tao Gong was a little anxious: "Brother, this doesn't work, that doesn't work, what should I do?" ā€

Tao Min smiled: "Don't worry. Let's fight with Yulin Bay, the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty has been a war of attrition so far, and it depends on who can hold on. But there is a tactic Yulin Bay that should not have been expected, and it will definitely be defenseless, I want to try. ā€

"Brother, what tactics?"

Tao Min laughed again: "Do you know the Bay of Pigs incident, how the United States invaded Cuba back then?" ā€

"But brother." Tao Gong asked, "The Bay of Pigs incident was lost by the Americans, but it made Cuba more close to the Soviet Union. ā€

"I know, the result doesn't matter, do you know what I asked Xie Tian to do." Tao Min explained to his younger brother, "Xie Tian is now in Vietnam. My instructions to him were to recruit and train a special forces unit in Vietnam, and the number of them was not too large, one or two hundred. This force will be used as a sharp knife to plunge into the heart of Yulin Bay. ā€

"Brother, what do you want to do."

"The development of Yulin Bay has almost been peaceful and stable today, especially in Yazhou and Wanzhou, which are far away from the war and have risen to peace. No matter how smart Xu Lang and Leng Tianbing were, they would never have thought that their base camp would be attacked. This special forces will infiltrate Yulin Bay through various means before the end of the year, and when the Spring Festival comes, they will act in unison and kill in Yulin Bay, preferably killing a few traversers. ā€

Tao Gong felt that his brother's idea was simply crazy: "Brother, it's useless to do this." A force of a few hundred people can't defeat Yulin Bay at all, and if we really kill a few traversers, it will be equivalent to completely blocking the possibility of peace between us and Yulin Bay, and we can only fight to the death with Yulin Bay in the future. ā€

"Do you think it's possible for us to make peace with Yulin Bay now?" Tao Min became serious, "The reason why Yulin Bay has been able to develop to this day is that his system has played a very important role. Now they also set up a federation among the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they also held universal suffrage. Chongzhen has been wooing Ye Zhan and Andreas, but he can't win them over at all, they are too grouped. Therefore, if you want to defeat Yulin Bay, you must first let them have internal chaos. If we create some disturbances in Yulin Bay, then I guess there will definitely be people who will raise objections to the current system, and as long as they are in internal chaos, we will have a chance. ā€

"Besides, Xie Tian went to Vietnam secretly this time." Tao Min smiled again, "All the special forces will be Vietnamese, and they won't think that we did it when they were killed in Yulin Bay, they probably thought that North Vietnam or South Vietnam did it." ā€

"The Vietnamese wouldn't do that." Tao Gong said, "Xu Lang and Jiang Beiming will figure it out after a little thought. ā€

"Even if they think that it wasn't the Vietnamese, there are too many possibilities." Tao Min said, "Westerners have the biggest suspicion, and I'm afraid Zheng Zhilong's suspicion is also indispensable." No matter who they think, they probably won't think of us, and our forces can't reach Vietnam. ā€

Tao Gong didn't say anything more: "Brother, since you have thought about it, let's just do it." I'll go back to Nanpu first to make preparations, if you want to go to Li Zicheng in person, you must be very careful. ā€
