Zhang Wei's plane stopped at the air base in Manado, and the flight crew rested for the night, refueled, and prepared to leave tomorrow morning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At around 11 a.m. on November 11, Zhang Wei's plane landed at Manila Air Force Base.

Governor Han Xin and others were already waiting at the air base. Manila Air Base is located on the west bank of Lake Mamaisa, 10 kilometers east of the city, and the entire lake is enclosed, in addition to docking seaplanes in the lake, a land airstrip and a large hangar and underground warehouses for fuel and ammunition have been built on the west bank.

After a simple lunch at the air base, Han Xin began to report to Zhang Wei on the situation in the SAR.

This Nanyang Special Zone has a population of about 10 million, and some of them live in the deep mountains and old forests, which cannot be counted; The greatest difficulty faced is that there are many nationalities, complex beliefs, and many contradictions; The economy is backward and the basic conditions are poor; Now, while actively developing agriculture in the SAR, the Philippine mercenary army has captured some local natives and put them in charge of the infrastructure construction of the SAR; Now, while increasing immigration, it is necessary to consume as much as possible a part of the local indigenous people to make room for Chinese immigrants.

After careful consideration, Zhang Wei arranged for Governor Han Xin: "This side has always been a Spanish colony, and later the Americans took over here, no one will seriously develop the economy here, and has always regarded this place as a place to plunder resources; In fact, there are a lot of minerals here, such as coal, copper, gold, nickel, etc.; How can we develop mining and metal smelting on the basis of agriculture; This time I came here to send you equipment, there are 10 sets of power plant equipment, 10 sets of medium-sized coal mining equipment, as well as copper and gold mining and smelting equipment, cement plant equipment, food processing equipment, etc., you will see what equipment and personnel you need in the evening, and I will prepare them for you tomorrow morning. ”

When Han Xin heard Zhang Wei say this, he hurriedly said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support!" I'll ask the people in charge of construction and industry to prepare the materials and hand them over to you in the evening. Now I want to report that the resistance of the local indigenous people is very fierce, especially the organization of the former Republic of the Philippines, although it has retreated into the mountains after fierce blows, it will still often come out to loot materials, and it is difficult to eliminate him in a short time; There are also resistance groups of Is*Lan and Mu*S*Lin, how should we deal with it? ”

Zhang Wei said without thinking: "Do you still need to think about this?" I don't want there to be a resistance group on my own territory, which makes me very disappointed, you must know that the entire Nanyang Special Zone is only 300,000 square kilometers, but I have arranged for you to have 3 armies, 1 marine division, so many troops, and there are still so many resistance forces, it is really a shame. Now tell me what difficulties you have that you need my support, and why you haven't annihilated them cleanly? “

"Yes, Your Majesty! I need the support of the Navy now, instead of battleships and battlecruisers, just send more destroyers and fast torpedo boats, and I hope that Your Majesty will support a few more aircraft, which can be used as reconnaissance aircraft, and can also launch attacks on the ground. “

Zhang Wei said: "It's not difficult, it won't be that simple!" “

"Your Majesty, I hope that there will be more destroyers and fast torpedo boats to completely cut off the external contacts of the resistance organizations and various religious organizations, so that there will be no weapons and ammunition imported into the SAR from outside, and without weapons and ammunition, all the resistance organizations will not be able to hold out for long."

Zhang Wei was surprised when he heard Han Xin say this, what other countries and organizations dare to go against the Xia Empire now? It was terrible to dare to support the resistance group, and he hurriedly asked: "Where did the weapons and ammunition come from?" What organization is so bold? “

After thinking about it for a while, Han Xin said: "After a long period of exploration, we have basically determined that there are two source channels, the first channel is from the British colony on Kalimantan Island, and the weapons and ammunition are all produced by the British; There is also a second passage from the east, which is the Mauser series of guns and ammunition produced by the Germans, and I guess the Germans are making small moves. “

"Did you find out that the French were also involved in these things?"

Han Xin said with certainty: "Your Majesty, there is no trace of the involvement of the French at present. “

Zhang Wei was very angry about this matter, Britain and Germany were really restless masters, they actually wanted to find trouble with the Empire, it seemed that they didn't give them a little bit of power, they couldn't feel the power of the Xia Empire, so they said to Han Xin: "Say, how many destroyers and fast torpedo boats do you need?" “

After careful consideration, Han Xin said: "Your Majesty, at least 20 destroyers and 80 fast torpedo boats are needed, otherwise we will not be able to patrol such a large area of the sea, and there will still be weapons and ammunition flowing into the SAR. “

Zhang Wei said: "I understand your difficulties, so let's do you have any confidence that I will leave you 30 destroyers and 120 fast torpedo boats, and at the same time assign a Lanfang-class battle cruiser from the Central Fleet to be stationed in Manila under your command and eliminate all resistance organizations in the SAR as soon as possible?" “

When Han Xin heard that Zhang Wei had given so much equipment, more than he had asked for, and had returned a battle cruiser, he was very happy and hurriedly said: "Thank you Your Majesty for your support, with these equipment, you can definitely block all sea areas, do seamless patrols, and you will definitely be able to completely cut off the source of their weapons and completely annihilate the resistance organization." “

Zhang Wei continued: "Palau Island, which is directly east of Davao City, will also be under your management in the future, and you will set up a patrol on the island to try to cut off the weapons channels from the east, and then concentrate on dealing with the weapons channels and natives in the west. “

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support!"

Zhang Wei also said: "Whoever captures the smuggling of weapons, whether it is a British or a German, must be kept in strict custody and must not divulge any information. “

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Wei went on to say: "The captured rebel organizations, no matter what nationality or religion, will be secretly disposed of if they are injured, and those who are intact and strong will be sent to Lu Guo to participate in forced labor reform, and will not be released for the rest of their lives; The weaker ones were sold as slaves to the Chinese immigrants and let them work, and they could not be released for life. This time I brought a lot of mineral equipment, and after these equipment are installed, I will arrest the indigenous people to mine, transport, build roads, etc., the infrastructure of the whole special zone is too poor, just to build roads, railways, ports and docks, warehouses, military camps, houses, schools, residential areas, etc., it takes a lot of labor, and you will even complain that there is no labor available in the future. ”

In the afternoon, Zhang Wei returned to the Manila Governor's Mansion with Han Xin, and after a short rest, he went to the barracks outside the city, put a large amount of machinery and equipment and a lot of logistical materials into the barracks, and at the same time purchased a large number of tents from the system, and asked the officers and soldiers in the barracks to cover these materials with tents so as not to let the rain get wet.

In the evening, at the naval port in Manila, 30 destroyers and 120 fast torpedo boats were released from the system, as well as supporting naval officers, and a large amount of fuel and ammunition were released from the system warehouse in the military port warehouse.

After returning to the Governor's Palace, he sent a telegram to Li Zhaoshui, asking him to send a Lanfang-class battle cruiser to Manila, with the captain serving as the commander of the South Sea Fleet.

On the morning of the 13th, I purchased the materials that Hanxin needed, and synthesized a group of technicians that Hanxin needed, such as prospecting, mining, highway and railway exploration planning, and construction personnel.

On the afternoon of the 14th, Zhang Wei returned to the air base and flew by plane to Naha Port in the Ryukyu Islands. (To be continued.) )
