Chapter 40: Preparing for the Beginning (Part 4)

In the hurry, about five months had passed, and as New Year's Day approached in 1898, the whole Tangcun district was once again busy, and the frequent movements of the army and the production of the factories at full capacity all proved that something great was about to happen.

Li Ruoyan, who was fighting with Wang Lin, also decided on this family affair under the involvement of his father and a group of peacemakers, and the two were scheduled to marry after recovering the entire Hainan Island. Although Wang Lin is a little older, this kind of talented and thoughtful person, his future career will definitely not be limited to this Hainan Island, no matter from his layout and requirements for the arsenal, it is not difficult to see.

In the past, he was really a little uneasy about his daughter running around with those revolutionary parties, but now that he is married to Wang Lin, his heart is naturally a lot more steady, here I have to say a little bit about his selfish thoughts, after Li Ruoyan marries Wang Lin, the most important thing is to ensure the safety of his daughter, at least he will not let Li Ruoyan rush to the front line to fight, which is also not allowed by the soldiers.

The most important thing is that Li Ruoyan can find a good home, which is also the biggest wish for Li Min, Li Ruoyan's mother died early, and it is not easy for Li Min to pull him up, and now his daughter has found a good man, and his face as a father also has light.

As for the other two classmates who came back with Li Ruoyan, the male is Zhang Haiping, 23 years old, and the female is Zhao Yan, 21 years old. In the end, Zhang Haiping refused to stay for the ideal in his heart, and Wang Lin had to temporarily lock him up in the barracks, waiting for the right time to let him out.

At first, Li Ruoyan was still very opposed to Wang Lin doing this, but the more things she came into contact with, the more she slowly understood Wang Lin's approach, and then she also tried to slowly persuade Zhang Haiping. But Zhang Haiping is not so easy to speak, he originally had a good impression of Li Ruoyan, when he learned that Li Ruoyan was going to marry Wang Lin, he was even more angry and held his fist to hammer the wall, until his hands were full of blood and refused to stop.

In the end, Li Ruoyan could only watch silently, Zhang Haiping's feelings for her she knew, but the emotional matter was not a person's business, she liked Wang Lin, he didn't believe in the deceptive trick of love at first sight, but this kind of thing happened to her, since that conversation, she felt that it was not easy for a woman to find her own home, so she could only look at Zhang Ping silently, and let him hate himself in his heart.

And Zhao Yan's choice was to make everyone happy, Tang San's kid was upright and upright, with a straight face, and he hadn't seen a few smiles since he took up the post of chief of staff, and in the end, he deceived Zhao Yan, who was as beautiful as Li Ruoyan. The hated Tang Fenghu and Tang Zhiyun had itchy teeth, and they saw such two peerless beauties, the kind that captivated the city and the country, but before they could act, they let Wang Lin and Tang San's kid run away one by one.

But it's also a blessing for the teacher and brother to find someone they like, although they also have a little crooked thinking, but they also completely let go of this idea after learning about the relationship between the two sides, and can only bless them from the heart.

The training of the army has come to an end, and it will soon enter a state of war, and the whole Tangcun district is busy, each busy with their own affairs, this year's army has deliberately taken a day off, everyone has the opportunity to go home for a day, reunite with their relatives, and then they will embark on a journey, and may never come back.

Wang Lin stood by the window and watched the smiling soldiers walk out of the barracks and go home in groups, with expectant looks in his eyes, Wang Lin didn't feel a pain in his heart, and said secretly, am I doing this right? Gambling their lives for secrecy? Is this really the case?

"Ren Jie." Wang Lin shouted.

"District Chief, please tell me something." As Wang Lin's secretary, Ren Jie is used to this kind of work, and he does his work without leakage, and he takes care of everything.

"Go and call Chief of Staff Tang and the two division commanders, Logistics Minister Wang Weishan, Li Ping in charge of industrial development, and Organization Minister Yang Jin to the conference room to prepare for the meeting." Wang Lin said lightly, what should start is about to start, and now it is time to have a complete plan to report.

After answering, Ren Jie pushed the door out and went to inform these elders one by one for a meeting, and the recent period of busyness also made him understand what happened, so he also paid special attention to this matter, and there could be no mistakes at all, which was not only related to Wang Lin's future, but also related to his Ren Jie's future.

About half an hour later, all the participants in the meeting were all present, and only these seven people, in the humble conference room, would decide the fate of the whole of Hainan today.

"Tang San, let's talk about the plan made by your staff." Wang Lin sat on the main seat and said.

"Yes, Captain." Tang San responded, then stood up and walked to the map of Hainan Island hanging on the opposite side, picked up the baton and slowly spoke:

"In accordance with the commander's thinking, after half a month of intense sand table exercises and field investigations, our General Staff finally made the decision to divide the troops into three routes, which were divided into three theaters: the western front, the northern front, and the eastern front. The opening of three theaters at the same time may have put too much pressure on us, but after an investigation by our General Staff, we learned that we were completely sure of winning this war; first of all, the Qing court had only more than 5,000 troops stationed in Hainan, and they were scattered all over the country.

The main reason why we divided our troops into three ways was to prevent people from escaping and leaking the news of our occupation of Hainan, although this could not be blocked for too long, but the current situation can only be hidden for a while. Now I announce the operational directives of the General Staff.

The 7th Brigade of the 11th Division is responsible for the battle from Sanya to the East on the Western Front, the 8th Brigade of the 11th Division and the 13th Brigade of the 19th Division are responsible for the battle from the East to Haikou on the Northern Front, and the 12th Brigade of the 19th Division is responsible for the line from Haikou to Wenchang on the Eastern Front. We have selected all the officers and men of the Military Headquarters Guard Regiment and the Special Brigade to deploy patrols in the area from Sanya to Wenchang on the southern front, and it can be said that it is impossible for anyone to leave Hainan without permission. ”

Wang Lin nodded, it was not too difficult for him to take Hainan, he was confident that all the battles would be over within a month, of course, this was still on foot, if he waited until the mechanized troops were formed in the future, he could take Hainan with 5,000 men in a week at most.

"I thought about it carefully, the Makqin heavy machine gun will be retired from now on, and the Fire Dragon machine gun will be fully installed, tentatively two for each company, and the company headquarters will be directly responsible." Wang Lin continued. "Minister Li should prepare all kinds of daily necessities as soon as possible, and when the time comes, he will cooperate with Minister Wang to deliver these materials to the people in the occupied areas, and at the same time, he must also prepare to start the reconstruction plan. After Minister Yang returned, he immediately gathered his manpower and set off with the three-way troops, occupied an area, and formed a temporary political axe in a region, and launched the Longteng Plan after the recovery of Hainan. ”

Everyone was ordered to leave, Wang Lin sighed deeply, he was finally going to act, once the horn of war sounded, it would be several years of continuity, the current stock of arms is sufficient, except for some of the training, the warehouse is full of more than 50 million rifle bullets and 80 million machine gun bullets, as well as millions of grenades. These bullets were enough for him to recover half of China.

ps: tragedy has happened again......
