Chapter 663: Towards the South
The sea breeze in early winter is warm but with a hint of chill, which makes people love and hate it. Slowly the wind rose on the surface of the sea, the sea howled, the wind roared, and from time to time there were rows of great waves, and great waves rushed forward in rows, rushing towards the rocks, rushing towards everything that stood in his way; At last, the waves were shattered by the sturdy ship, and the droplets of the debris still flew forward and splashed on it, making him snort, and the waves continued to come and go, and came and fell......
Seeing the waves in the gale, the soldiers who were originally on the deck returned to the cabin one after another, but those of them who had been out to sea knew that if the sea was angry, the six relatives would not recognize it, and if they were accidentally hit by the waves, there was no place to reason.
"Zhang Yanbo, you kid don't come down quickly, do you really want to be the son-in-law of the Sea Dragon King!" The voice of platoon commander Liu Zhaochen sounded at the entrance of the hatch.
"Oh, here we go!" Zhang Yanbo, who was looking around with a telescope, quickly threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and followed the platoon commander into the cabin.
This is an 8,000-ton troop carrier, can carry four to six thousand fully armed soldiers, this is also the first large-scale troop carrier designed by the Chinese government itself, because the middle of the troop transport protruding round belly is very bulky, the navy humorously calls it "elephants", now there are eight "elephants" by a heavy cruiser, 12 destroyers and an aircraft carrier fleet in the middle, the mighty dangdang heading south.
"The East Indies, which straddle the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, are composed of 13,360 islands of all sizes, forming a criss-crossing water passage and occupying a very important strategic position in the world's maritime transportation pattern. The most famous of these are the Makassar Strait, the Lombok Strait and the Sunda Strait, which are the maritime chokepoints connecting the two oceans in the East Indies.
Our mission this time is to take control of this archipelago that can contain the chokepoint, a very dangerous strategic point that must be in our hands. In the war room of the "Han Xin" aircraft carrier, Vice Admiral Zheng Xin, commander of the South China Sea Fleet, was explaining the mission with a group of generals.
"Sir, is that our mission this time to occupy the island of Java?" Ding Feng, the captain of the destroyer "Jeju", asked curiously.
"No, it's not just the occupation of Indonia." A hint of coldness appeared on Zheng Xin's face, "It's to occupy the entire Indoni." โ
"But it's Dutch territory now!"
"Dutch?" Zheng Xin snorted a cold breath from her nose. "It's good that the Dutch can keep their homeland now, and they still want to grab the colony with us?"
In 1596 a Dutch fleet led by the Dutchman Hortmann reached Banten on the island of Java. In 1603, the Dutch built a trading post in Java; In 1605, he conquered Ambon and Dilly in the spice-rich Maluku Islands. Jakarta on the island of Java was captured in 1619 and named Batavia as the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company in the East. Before the arrival of the Dutch, the Portuguese had established a number of trading posts in the Indo-Ni region. Later, the British also established a colony in 6 India. And the Netherlands became the country that occupied the most territory among these European countries. The Netherlands initially colonized these areas through the Dutch East India Company. After the dissolution of the Indian Company in 1799, the colony was taken over by the Dutch government, and the East Indies became a Dutch East India colony.
Although the focus of concern of the Chinese government is still on the battlefield of Soviet Russia, Su Tong's attention to the South Seas has never stopped, which can be seen from Su Tong's continuous expansion of the scale of the 6th Naval Squadron, and by the end of 1941, Su Tong had expanded the 6th Naval Squadron, an amphibious combat force, into an elite armed force with six divisions and three service support brigades, totaling 130,000 people, in order to compete with the United States, Britain and other countries for control of the South Pacific in the future, and now is the first step in Su Tong's strategy of expanding abroad.
Although it is not a problem for Su Tong to covet Malaysia now, it is not good to turn his face with the British at this time, although it is no problem to bully the small British troops stationed in Malaysia according to the strength of the current Huaxia Navy, but it is not suitable to take the risk of turning against the United States and Britain to occupy this place, so Su Tong turned his eyes to the Indeni behind Malaysia, the place where Commander Su gritted his teeth.
Any indignant youth in another time and space will remember the large-scale SAO anti-Chinese incident in Dalu, which was born in India in May 1998, and a large number of overseas Chinese and Chinese were brutally killed. According to a report compiled by the Jakarta Human Rights and Women's Studies Organization, in the SAO riots born in May 1998, there were more than 5,000 tragic cases of Chinese women born in various parts of India (including the brutal murder of Chinese women and girls after Qiang Jian or Lun Jian), of which more than 100 cases were born every day in Jakarta, and incomplete statistics showed that at least 1,200 Chinese were massacred or killed. Persecution and massacre against the diaspora.
The reason for the matter is very simple, that is, the local Chinese overseas Chinese have accumulated a huge amount of wealth after several generations and decades of accumulation, and after the Chinese people migrated to Indo, they gradually gained more and more influence in the local area through business, factories, mines, schools, etc. The local natives are increasingly jealous of the wealth owned by the Chinese, they hate the Chinese for taking away their jobs and status, and they are also very afraid of the Chinese riding on their heads, whether it is out of inner greed or out of the need to divert the attention of the people in the country, the Indo-Luni ruling authorities have regarded the anti-Chinese movement as a means of robbing the rich and helping the poor and a political need. The reason is very simple, just like sheep shearing, every time after recuperating for decades, the local Chinese gradually accumulated a considerable amount of wealth, the Indo-Ni authorities will come to such a one-handed anti-Chinese movement, which can not only make money but also be promoted, why not do it.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Dutch colonial government had the largest number of taxes and the highest tax rates among the colonies in Southeast Asia. Foreigners in the Dutch colonies did not levy a poll tax, but the Chinese not only levied a heavy tax, but even increased it several times more than the local aborigines. Colonial officials were required to consult colonial officials for any act of daily Chinese life, such as flag raising, sacrifices, and animal slaughter, as well as marriages, burials, house repairs, and market openings. The postal service and other public organs have also wantonly insulted and discriminated against the Chinese, and the Chinese have often not followed the rules and regulations in sending letters and remittances, which has seriously affected the normal production and life of overseas Chinese.
On February 19, 1912, overseas Chinese in Surabaya City, Dutch Java Island, took to the streets, held rallys, raised flags, and set off firecrackers to celebrate the founding of the Republic of China. The Dutch colonial authorities even sent military and police forces to intervene, shooting and killing three overseas Chinese, wounding more than 10 others, and arresting more than 100 people. The angry overseas Chinese took a closed-door strike in protest, and the Dutch colonial authorities then dispatched a large number of military and police to force the market to open, and arrested more than 1,000 people, causing a sensational "Surabaya Incident".
Now that China's national strength and military strength are increasing day by day, and the navy also has nine large aircraft carriers and more than 200 warships of various types, it also has the strength to show off its might in the surrounding countries. Besides, I'm not a good bully for the British now, but if I don't bully you for a little Dutchman, I feel sorry for myself.
So, under Su Tong's order, the South China Sea Fleet, which had been recuperating for half a year, went south again, and this time there were two naval 6th divisions and a mysterious unit passing with it.
In the middle of the fleet, the large room of a troop transport ship was crowded with more than a hundred soldiers, the life of sailing at sea was very boring, sailing on the sea for ten days and half a month, the soldiers were recorded in a small room, and the mental boredom could be imagined, so chatting and farting or playing cards and having fun became the main way of pastime for the soldiers.
"Alas, sir!" Zhang Yanbo reached out and stabbed Liu Zhaochen next to him.
"What's the matter!" Liu Zhaochen, who was sleeping in a dazed manner, whispered in a somewhat annoyed voice: "Don't bother me if you kid is fine, beware of Lao Tzu pinching your bird eggs and letting your Chunni stay alive." โ
In the face of the chief's anger, Zhang Yanbo was a little aggrieved, "I just want to ask you something, as for cursing me like this." โ
"It's the most hateful thing to disturb people's dreams, if you kid don't tell me a way, Lao Tzu won't spare you." Liu Zhaochen, who was dispelled by Zhang Yanbo's sleepiness, made a sleepy eye, stretched out his hands and yawned for a long time, then took out a cigarette from his netg head and lit it, and only after calming down did he ask leisurely: "Say, what is it that keeps you awake and wakes me up." โ
"Here's the thing, sir." Zhang Yanbo leaned over and hurriedly asked, "Didn't there be a troop carrier that joined our team halfway when we got on the ship?" I was on deck yesterday when I was winding, and the troop carrier was right behind us. I saw that there were also a few soldiers coming out of the deck of the troop transport ship behind, but as far as I could see, the clothes they were wearing were different from ours. โ
"!" Liu Zhaochen glanced at Zhang Yanbo strangely, "You kid has only been a soldier for a few days, and you just faded the smell of milk and came to pretend to be a big man with me, do you think that all the troops are wearing the same training uniforms as our 6th team, let's not talk about the air force and navy, even the training uniforms of the 6th army have different faces according to different regions and different divisions, for example, those brother troops in Soviet Russia should all wear winter clothes, but what about us, we don't still wear autumn clothes, you kid"
"Stop" Zhang Yanbo hurriedly raised his hand and made a gesture of begging for mercy, "Sir, can you listen to me finish speaking?" โ
"Well, you say! I'm going to see what great things you can show. โ
"That's right, I'm here, the people on the troop transport ship behind us are all wearing black uniforms." Zhang Yanbo said mysteriously: "And now I have a smell that I can't say, I can't say what the taste is, anyway, I always have some hair in my heart when I look at them." โ
"Huh?" Hearing this, Liu Zhaochen's face changed slightly, and his eyes suddenly became fierce, "Our troop carrier is at least a hundred meters away from them, how did you see their gods from such a distance, and are there any special marks on their clothes?" โ
Zhang Yanbo didn't notice Liu Zhaochen's face, and said triumphantly: "Sir, don't you look at who I am?" Yesterday, I secretly took a binoculars to peek at the female soldiers on the nearby hospital ship, who knew that when I looked back, I saw that the soldiers on the troop transport ship behind me were different from us, I just"
Before Zhang Yanbo's words were finished, Liu Zhaochen grabbed him by the collar and asked, "I'm asking you, do they have any special marks on their clothes?" โ
"Ugh!" Zhang Yanbo was taken aback by Liu Zhaochen's sudden gaffe, "You let me think about it, I remember, the epaulettes on the left shoulder of their clothes are very strange, not only their clothes are black sรจ, but their epaulettes also have a black sรจ tiger head painted on them, and they also have a bloody mouth that is very scary, I said sir, what are you doing so jฤซ, put me down." โ
"What, they have a black tiger head on their armband!" Liu Zhaochen's voice couldn't help but get louder, waking up several soldiers next to him.
After several sleeping soldiers were woken up, they saw Zhang Yanbo being grabbed by Liu Zhaochen's collar and stepped forward to persuade them, "Sir, what are you doing here?" Let it go, Zhang Yanbo is almost out of breath. โ
"Humph!" Liu Zhaochen let go of his hand, slowly sat back on his netg, and whispered to himself: "Impossible, how could they appear here, isn't that one still in Nanjing?" โ
The fire of gossip in Zhang Yanbo's heart, who had finally caught his breath, was blazing, and he hurried over and asked repeatedly, "Sir, what are you talking about, why did you appear here, who are they?" โ
Snorted coldly, Liu Zhaochen turned his head and stared at Zhang Yanbo and said coldly: "From now on, don't use binoculars to look behind you when you go on deck, if you are shown by those of them, it will be difficult to do, you must remember, don't mess with those people on the troop transport ship behind." โ
Liu Zhaochen was about to lie down and sleep again after saying something headless and brainless, but the soldiers who were curious about his words could still sleep, and they all crawled to Liu Zhaochen's netg and surrounded him, "Sir, tell us about it, anyway, after sleeping for so many days, now we should set up a dragon gate array (the meaning of bragging in Sichuan dialect), and we should relieve our boredom." โ
"Okay, I'll tell you about it today, lest you offend people in the future and don't know what happened." Helplessly, Liu Zhaochen had no choice but to sit up again and look at the curious babies around him before he said slowly: "There is indeed no unit in our national defense force that is equipped with black sรจ uniforms, and the combat units in different regions will wear different combat uniforms according to the different regional environments, and this reason is that even the recruits know it." And the black sรจ uniform is also famous for being unfavorable for camouflage and cover on the battlefield, especially in the snow and jungle in winter, wearing the black sรจ combat uniform is equivalent to shouting at the enemy to shoot at me! โ
"Hehe" the soldiers laughed.
"But there are exceptions to everything, there are two troops whose uniforms on weekdays are black sรจ, and not to mention the uniforms, even their steel helmets are black sรจ Here Liu Zhaochen's face began to become grim, "This army usually has very few faces, not to mention us people, that is, the average commander doesn't know much about these two troops." โ
"How do you know, sir?" A soldier interjected duly in time.
"Don't talk nonsense if you kid doesn't understand." Liu Zhaochen glared at the daredevil, "As far as I know, there are only two units that wear black uniforms on weekdays, the first unit is the internal security unit led by Chief Ma of our logistics department, and their unit has never stayed in the huge logistics base in Chahar and never in front of the public, and this unit is also the most mysterious. The second force is the guard regiment around the president, which is also a force that began to be formed when the president was in the Chahar militia house, I don't know much about this unit, but I faintly heard our old regiment commander say that the task of this army is to protect the president's safety on weekdays, and rarely leave the president's side, if you leave the president's side, it means that there will be something big, and the armband of this guard regiment is a black tiger head. โ
"So mysterious!" Zhang Yanbo was a little disapproving, "Isn't it just a tiger head?" Could it really jump off the armband and bite someone? โ
"I said, why are you so stupid." Liu Zhaochen nodded at his head with some hatred and said: "Think about it, what was the army called when our president started, and what is it called now, how many troops can use the black tiger head as a symbol in the whole army?" Why did the president's guard corps go to Indoni with us, don't you think about it? I see that you kid is still clever on weekdays, why are you so stupid now! โ
"Oh, I see." Zhang Yanbo scratched his head, still a little puzzled.
"Okay, that's all for me to see." Liu Zhaochen said a little stupidly: "I told you this, whether you listen or not, if you suffer a loss from them, don't blame me for not reminding you." โ
"Okay, sleep, sleep" The group rushed to the netg with Liu Zhaochen on their backs, and there were some voices at first, but slowly the voice was lowered, and finally the whole room sounded snoring one after another. aใ
