Chapter 68 The Decision to Send Troops II
I received another recommendation message, plus more, and there is a change in the evening.
Since there is a gold mine, you must get your hands on it. Sun Hao vaguely remembered that the gold mine production of the Papua islands in later generations could be ranked in the world, and it seemed that it was still ranked in the top few. If it can be ranked, it means that the output is definitely not low.
Miao Feng almost couldn't help laughing when she saw Sun Hao's expression, and hurriedly covered her sexy little mouth with her hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in three days the day will be the day when the Kingdom of the Netherlands will respond to us, and according to the personal estimation of this commander, the Kingdom of the Netherlands will definitely not give up its interests in the northwestern peninsula of Papua easily. Therefore, war is inevitable, we do not need to wait for their response, we must prepare for an attack in advance.
After Sun Hao finished speaking, he walked to the map hanging on the wall, holding a long wooden stick in his hand.
After the generals saw Sun Hao's movements, they all stood up and walked to the map.
"In this attack, we will not only attack the northwest peninsula of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, but also take down the islands of Suhuira, the Maru Islands, the East Timor Islands, and the West Nusha Islands." After Sun Hao spoke, he drew a circle on the map with a wooden stick to indicate the territory to be attacked by the troops this time.
"Commander-in-Chief Sun, may I ask if Mahan Island and Enemavi Island, north of the North Malu Islands, should be fought together? These two islands will be beneficial for our future attack on Mindan, and it is recommended that they be taken together. Tu Tiangang, commander-in-chief of the first group, suggested.
Sun Hao looked at the map, and then nodded, these two islands are very close to Mindan, which is very beneficial to attacking the Philippines controlled by the United States in the future, and they must be defeated. As long as an airfield is built on the island, it is entirely possible to use aircraft to bomb the military bases of the United States.
Before the start of World War I, we must take down the Philippines or the islands in the South Seas, as for the Malay Peninsula and North Borneo controlled by the British, there is no need to move him for the time being, and we will look for opportunities to take down those islands in the future.
It seems that the United States has made a Chinese exclusion bill, and he just uses this bill to find something to do for the United States. The current Mi army, whether it is the army or the navy, can be described as scum, and there is not much combat effectiveness at all. In this way, it is also the time to grab their own territory.
Shen Jun, chief of the General Staff, nodded slightly after hearing this, and then stroked the beard on his chin with one hand and said: "Commander-in-Chief Sun, according to the scope of the battle you just said, I agree with the humble position, we should not expand the results of the war, otherwise the British Empire will definitely stand up against it." To the north of Borneo is a British colony, and our capture of Sulawese may be a nerve for them, and it is best to take precautions in advance. ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! Several of the other generals nodded in agreement.
The British are now the absolute hegemon on the sea, and it is best if Huaxia does not fight with them, not because these generals are greedy for life and afraid of death, but because they see the international situation very clearly.
Wang Hongliang, the commander of the First Fleet, glanced at Shen Jun before he said, "Commander-in-Chief Sun, Chief of Staff, can we occupy the nearby Guajiao Island, Bali Island, and Mataran Island together by the way?" ”
When Long Tiangang, commander of the Second Group Army, heard this, he came over and pointed to the map and said, "Commander-in-Chief Sun, I suggest that troops be sent to occupy Gua Dao Island and the islands to the south immediately, including Bali Island, Mataram, and Gua Dao Island. In this way, the other islands except Suman Island and Borneo can be formed, and other islands will become our territory, and as for South Borneo and Suman Island in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, they will be left for the time being, and they will make plans later. ”
As soon as Long Tiangang's words fell, Chen Xiaomei, the commander of the second group, said: "Commander-in-Chief Sun, everyone, I don't think there is any problem with Commander Long's plan.
We have sent a telegram asking the Dutch to withdraw from the islands of Papua, but with the character of the Dutch and the importance of the Indonesian colonies to the Netherlands, they will not back down in the slightest. The Dutch must have placed a fleet and infantry in Jakarta, and it is estimated that they may have already begun to support the Papuan side by now. But if you want to get to Papua, it will be a few days away.
If we take these islands before their fleet arrives, then the entire Dutch-Indonesian colony out of Sumen Island, Borneo, and other islands will be the territory of our Huaxia Kingdom! Chen Xiaomei said that the mouth was foaming, as if seizing the islands of the Dutch colonists was as easy as digging for something.
Out of Sun Hao, everyone else nodded in agreement, and they all felt that with the strength of the Huaxia Army, it was not a problem to attack the tens of thousands of troops in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Compared with the combat effectiveness of the Royal Dutch Army, Kenben is not a grade, and the Huaxia Army is equipped with advanced machine guns and mortars, aircraft and tanks, howitzers of various calibers and other sharp weapons, which can almost completely humiliate the Dutch Army.
Sun Hao smiled slightly, lit a cigarette and took a puff, pinched his chin with his left hand, and was considering Chen Xiaomei's proposal, I have to say that this is an opportunity, but he is currently only about 600,000 troops, plus cavalry and naval forces, it sounds like 700,000 troops is a lot, but it is far from enough to scatter them on the islands in the South Seas. Not to mention the threat of the indigenous people, there are many islands in the South Seas, and it is simply impossible to prevent them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Commander Chen's proposal is very good, but have you ever thought that these islands add up to more than one million square kilometers, and we only have more than 600,000 troops, and we can't even bubble up if we scatter them. There is a more important issue, that is, the British Empire, this empire on which the sun never sets, will not see our Chinese power grow, which is not in the interests of their British Empire, if our Chinese country occupies so much territory, it will not benefit them at all.
First, we will threaten their colonies in Australia, second, Malacca is a choke point for the West to enter the East, the British will not let us threaten their colonies in the Malay Peninsula, and third, they will threaten their colonies in Borneo.
If I were British, I would not have seen so many of my colonies threatened, so the commander estimates that the British and the Kingdom of the Netherlands will put aside all their previous suspicions and jointly attack us, and extinguish our Chinese forces in one fell swoop before our Chinese army rises, and then we will face a catastrophe! ”
Wang Hongliang, Lu Ping, Tu Tiangang, Long Wenshan and others all took a breath of cool air in their hearts after hearing Sun Hao's analysis, although they wiped out a small British fleet and thousands of British soldiers in the Fuming River last time, it does not mean that the navy of the Huaxia Army can defeat this old empire on which the sun never sets.
Is there a tip? If you have one, you can explode it at night!! Hehe!
