Chapter 755: Flipping the Table

The red emergency signal is the first time that it appeared after the establishment of the Northwest Intelligence Department, which represents a great deal of urgency, if you don't deal with it, maybe there will be a large number of casualties and the territory will be occupied, because of the urgent telegram, there is no stop, and it is directly in front of Yang Yuanzhao.

Knowing that it was a matter of Nanyang, Yang Yuanzhao was also taken aback, originally the Nanyang side was relatively weak, and a lot of preparations were made, such as large-scale immigration, and the establishment of the Nanyang Division, and even the pirate fleet is also an aspect, which has begun to bear fruit, 3 Nanyang divisions formed an army, almost 70,000 people, plus the pirate regiment with two 7,000-ton cruisers, it should be no problem to target the Dutch, whether it is the regular army of the Netherlands or the navy of the Netherlands, it is not the opponent of the Chinese in the Nanyang.

The preparations are quite perfect, and the second phase of arming the Nanyang Chinese has begun, and after choosing agents, contacting the natives, pushing the natives to the forefront, and disrupting Indonesia, they will decide what to do next. But at this juncture, at the moment when the First World War had not yet broken out, there was a problem, and the red signal represented that it could not be solved, so it was really a fight with the Netherlands, and the Netherlands said that as long as the Northwest took out all its strength, the official time of his defeat was a problem, but what about after the defeat? It was almost certain that the British would have intervened, and Borneo was at the exit point of the Strait of Malacca, and if something went wrong, it would jam almost half of the neck of the Strait of Malacca.

The top officials of the Ministry of Intelligence, the personnel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of War, these powerful figures in the Northwest, were called together to study such a chaotic situation. In particular, I heard that the source of the leak should be in Malacca. It was leaked by Chinese families in Penang, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. The British already knew about it, and directly ordered the Dutch governor, to ask the Netherlands to deal with it, and the Dutch came up with the previous plan and prepared to harvest the Chinese again, everyone was a little unacceptable. What to do, what should have been avoided as much as possible, but because of the carelessness of the Chinese family, it became like this. Britain has already paid attention to the fact that if there is any movement in the northwest, the British will definitely go into battle shirtless, and the northwest is far from being ready for a head-on confrontation with the British.

Throughout the night, the building belonging to Yang Yuanzhao was brightly lit, and these personnel who were called here began to discuss solutions, and the intelligence department strengthened intelligence monitoring. The diplomatic department looks for diplomatic avenues, and the military considers the war as a last resort. How should the army in Nanyang command, how to fight, and how to solve the logistical aspects. There is no need to transport some aircraft and equipment to the past, so that Nanyang has a certain sustained combat capability.

When a solution is being considered. The second urgent message was sent again, again in Southeast Asia. This time it was not the Dutch who did it, because it took at least a week or so for the Dutch to prepare, or even longer, this time the alarm was raised near the plantations in Borneo, which had been close to the plantations in the interior, and 12 armed men were found, and the Nanyang army after a fierce battle, killed 6, captured 3, and ran away 3, through guò urgent interrogation, all of them were British, subordinate to the British intelligence services, 9 of them were hired soldiers, 3 intelligence officers, and killed one, Ran away two, and after interrogation, they have been there for 3 days, and even sneaked into 12 plantations that have not completely returned to the inland area, and entered the interior along the way, it is estimated that some things have been found, the settlers of these plantations are as high as 800,000, that is not all, after they investigated, Borneo has hundreds of thousands of Chinese plantations This secret is not guaranteed.

When Yang Yuanzhao finished reading this urgent message word by word, there was silence in the entire conference room, and everyone discussed before how to drag the Dutch down, and by the way, let the Nanyang Chinese fan the wind and light the fire on the side of the natives, so that many things would be easier to do, after all, just suspicion, it is much easier to deal with the Dutch than against the British.

But now, the British have intervened, and it is the information that has been discovered in person, there are only a few settlements and plantations, and the discovery is less than one-tenth, but the number is too large, tens of thousands of Chinese, can make the Netherlands and Spain sit on pins and needles, and choose the method of genocide to reduce, hundreds of thousands of Chinese, for the sparse number of colonists, it is simply a disaster, plus the recent news that the Chinese are still arming themselves, it is impossible to let go, God knows how the British will react, maybe, Singapore's East Asian Fleet will sail directly over, and they may be combined with France, the United States, and the Netherlands to deal with Borneo, and in this case, the Northwest will not even have the possibility of support.

Everyone was in a panic, but Yang Yuanzhao seemed to calm down, at this time, the panic was terrible, he took the map, found the location of the plantation where the battle took place, and found that it had penetrated 70 kilometers into Borneo, and the interrogation in the intelligence also showed that the British did not report to Singapore after discovering the termination of the peripheral and the meeting, but continued to follow the vine, trying to catch the big fish, but unfortunately missed in one of the plantations.

Yang Yuanzhao's mind was spinning rapidly, and the information he had obtained now proved that the British and Singapore sides did not know yet, and there was still room for manipulation, so he immediately ordered that the reconnaissance troops of the Nanyang Corps could take the initiative to attack and block the main arteries, even if they could not catch the three Britons who ran away, they must slow down their speed and delay for about 10 days as much as possible.

This order is a little strange, even the military representatives in the conference room are a little puzzled, is 10 days enough, isn't this a cover-up and stealing the bell, something has happened, among the 3 people who escaped, two of them are still intelligence officers, at the moment when it is inconvenient for Nanyang to appear head-on, the probability of catching them is almost very low, is it enough to delay for 10 days, even if it is a little more, more than a month, or even two months, can it solve the problem, at most make Nanyang more fully prepared.

Looking at the puzzled subordinates, Yang Yuanzhao also sighed, even if the northwest rises, and Russia has a fierce battle on land, but it still can't change the views of the Chinese people, the army has never been weak in China, the end of the Qing Dynasty is just a special situation, isn't there the rise of Beiyang behind, but the navy, China has never risen in the navy, facing the world's first naval power, with dozens of battleships, and the United Kingdom, which is proud of the seven seas, almost no one has ever thought of confronting them head-on at sea, and it is very long. Once the British intervened, they could only rely on the Chinese power in Borneo.

Yang Yuanzhao knows very well what his subordinates think, and he doesn't blame them, this is determined by the times, Britain in this era is really majestic, not necessarily much worse than the United States in later generations, he is indeed prepared, and even has already considered the worst conditions, if it really doesn't work, it's a big deal to flip the table.

Very early, when Yang Yuanzhao went to Europe, he was preparing to do something, himself, as a traverser, controlling history, is his greatest advantage, he can use such a prophetic prescience to make waves in this era and obtain the greatest benefits, his initial thoughts are also like this, but unfortunately the development of history is not immutable, especially when his butterfly is getting bigger and bigger, it becomes more unrecognizable.

Now the Northwest is no longer a secessionist force that has little influence on China, but has gradually become an independent, a force with super industrial strength and strong armed forces, and has more and more influence on the situation in the world, the current situation in Europe and the world situation is the most obvious example, all aspects of intelligence have proved that between the Entente and the Central Powers, even if war does not break out in 1913, by the spring of 1914, there will definitely be a war, which is more than in history, August 1914, At least half a year in advance, when history is no longer enough, the danger brought by lifting the table is not as big as imagined, it really doesn't work, just lift the table.

After returning from Germany, relying on a little impression, the general situation of Schlieffen's plan, a large-scale deduction was carried out, Yang Yuanzhao is not a military fan, but he also vaguely knows that during World War I, there was a plan to attack France, which was via Belgium, Yang Yuanzhao used the hypothesis to let the staff re-examine the plan, according to the half-understood historical knowledge, and really restored the plan.

After the restoration plan, it was to pick on this plan, and the staff officers who had spent a lot of effort in the northwest for several years were still very good, and in this Schlieffen plan, several huge loopholes were found. The first is the problem of Belgium's Liège fortress, the second is the problem of logistics supply, Germany still relies on horses and other modes of transportation, in the Schlieffen plan, it has been said that the use of the Belgian and French railway lines, but this is almost impossible, unless you can use the special operation in the northwest, with a small detachment and paratroopers, airborne behind enemy lines, one by one to control these railway hubs, it is possible to completely receive a railway system, otherwise, Belgium or France, There is enough time to destroy this railway system.

The impermanence of the army, in a plan involving hundreds of thousands of troops and outflanking hundreds of kilometers, there is a huge loophole, which is enough to bankrupt the plan, not to mention that there are two, especially the latter, logistics problems, for a steel duel like World War I, is fatal, which directly affects Germany's ability to attack, Schlieffen plan, it is impossible to carry out completely, if the other party grasps this weakness, Germany's huge plan, involving nearly a million soldiers, Directly will be hit by the destruction of mière.
