Somewhere in the south, in the headquarters of the Southeast Asian Army, Chen Mingjie felt a little fluttering in his heart, and it was actually expected that he could sit in the position of commander-in-chief. But when this position really fell on his head, Chen Mingjie felt a little dazed.

For the position of commander-in-chief, Chen Mingjie can be said to have been looking forward to it for a long time, the previous war was not so tight, or maybe Wang Lin's confidence in the army was not as sufficient as it is now, so Wang Lin was sending the army. Two large corps have never been sent at the same time, and this so-called corps is called a real corps, and a single corps has nearly half a million troops. And the Northern Expeditionary Legion to which Long Yuhui belonged at this time reached nearly one million people.

Although there is still a gap between the Southeast Asian Corps and the Northern Expeditionary Corps, in terms of the strength of the Southeast Asian Corps itself, the Southeast Asian Corps is enough to sweep the entire Southeast Asia. At this time, the location of the headquarters of the Southeast Asian Army was still relatively hidden, and the establishment of the Southeast Asian Army was not disclosed to the public. There was no sign of a second legion, and everything was uneventful.

The troops belonging to the Southeast Asian Army are only quietly assembled in the garrisons of the various troops, waiting for the departure order from above. The navy's fleet does not have the ability to send all the units of the 10 armies to various battlefields in one go; although the navy has developed on a relatively large scale in the past few years, the development of the navy is not as simple as that of the army, and it is far from enough to have advanced weapons and equipment.

In this battle, the Northern Expeditionary Corps was mainly on land, supplemented by the air force, and had very few requirements for the navy. But the Southeast Asian Legion had to need the help of the naval fleet. You can't let the warriors sweep through Southeast Asia with a small sampan, right? It is clearly unrealistic, but it is not a problem to capture countries such as Vietnam and India by land, after all, these countries are directly connected by territory, and they do not need to go through the navy to attack alone. But a little farther away, such as the Philippines, Malaysia and other regions, have to need the help of the navy.

Chen Mingjie stared at a huge map in front of him, his head shook a little drowsily, and his right hand kept gently tapping his head to make himself as awake as possible. Commanding a large corps to fight, Chen Mingjie can be said to be the second most experienced person in the Chinese Empire besides Long Yuhui, but at this time, Chen Mingjie did not feel that it was a little difficult.

Or rather, it's not a little hard, but it's really hard.

According to Wang Lin's request, Chen Mingjie needed to disperse his troops to various regions without limit, and the fighters of the air force would provide direct support to the troops responsible for attacking Vietnam, India and other regions. The Philippines and other places are directly supported by naval aviation, and it is believed that with the support of aircraft, there will not be any major problems in dispersing the forces.

Of course, this is only imaginary, not practiced. In the previous battles commanded by Chen Mingjie, several troops were combined and then twisted into a rope to break the enemy in one fell swoop. But now Wang Lin in turn asked him to disperse his forces to various regions, and it can even be said that Wang Lin planned to let Chen Mingjie sweep the entire Southeast Asia in a line from north to south.

That is to say, as long as the war starts, then whether it is Vietnam or India, as long as it is on the same level, it must enter the battle on time. If they come one by one, there is nothing, Chen Mingjie has the energy to deal with them, but after dispersion, Chen Mingjie has to be dual-purpose, or even three-purpose, four-purpose, or even more.

For cluster attacks, Chen Mingjie has found a feasible path, but for this kind of decentralized attack, Chen Mingjie is still the first time. However, I heard Wang Lin say that this is called laying the foundation for future team operations, as for what team operations are, Chen Mingjie is naturally very clear, but he just thinks about it, this plan is too crazy, Chen Mingjie really can't imagine it.

Of course, there are certain reasons why Chen Mingjie dare not imagine it, first of all, the mainstream model at this stage, every country in the world relies on crowd tactics to win. Except for some countries with more developed weapons and equipment, but the current mainstream is still a sea of people, and everyone has lined up and then buried their heads in the advance. Although this offensive tactic is currently being abandoned, it is still used by a number of countries.

Although the squad tactics can minimize the loss of the enemy's cluster firepower, the shortcomings are also extremely obvious, that is, the lack of troops, if they encounter the enemy's cluster attack, then they will rush and scatter. This is the result summed up by Chen Mingjie based on his own combat experience over the years. Of course, if this idea is really to be realized, it is not that difficult, unless it is possible to provide support to those attacked squads in the shortest possible time in the future, and it is a support that has the ability to defeat the enemy.

But unfortunately, now Chen Mingjie does not believe that the Chinese Empire has such capabilities.

In any case, His Majesty the Emperor's order still has to be carried out, and this time the Southeast Asian Corps will be divided into three directions, one is the garrison force composed of one army. Since the Eastern Expeditionary Corps defeated Yueben, Taiwan has also returned to the embrace of the motherland smoothly. Previously, because the naval forces had always been in the capital, the empire did not have the ability to project other forces to Taiwan, so it was delayed.

However, after this incident, Wang Lin also fully realized a situation, the navy, in fact, sometimes needs a certain number, otherwise, once the war starts, the navy will be unable to care about other theaters. The elite naval fleet is indeed what Wang Lin needs the most at present, but no matter how elite it is, it can't stop the enemy's impact from all directions, after this incident. Wang Lin has ordered the expansion of the navy, which will be expanded from the current four fleets to eight naval fleets. And the number of ships of each fleet will be increased accordingly.

Of course, in the future, aircraft carriers will be the mainstay, supplemented by other auxiliary vessels.

According to Chen Mingjie's understanding, Wang Lin just wants the Southeast Asian Army to control Taiwan first, and then solve other things. As for Taiwan's political axe organization, Wang Lin has already been prepared, which he has prepared for a long time, but it has never been announced.

Standing next to Chen Mingjie at this time was the newly appointed governor of Taiwan, Huang Mingkun, and other deputies.

Huang Mingkun is an authentic Taiwanese, and his family was also well-known in Taiwan before, but with the increasingly brutal governance of the army, Huang Mingkun's family had to choose to withdraw from Taiwan and return to the mainland. But it didn't take long for Wang Lin to find him and tell Huang Mingkun about his intentions. In the end, with the idea of giving it a try, Huang Mingkun entered the high-level official training course of the Political Axe Management Department for further study.

After several years of study, in theory, Huang Mingkun has completely become a politician, and it is definitely above 90%. As for practice, it's not too good to know for sure. A well-known family that can mix in Taiwan must not be too unfamiliar with local governance methods, and with the assistance of theoretical knowledge, I believe that Huang Mingkun will still be able to do this job well.

Of course, the choice of Huang Mingkun over others was naturally Wang Lin's concern for the rejection of Taiwanese locals. If this is the case, it will be difficult for the political axe to continue its work in Taiwan. Therefore, in the early days, Wang Lin still chose to govern Taiwan by authentic Taiwanese.

Of course, Wang Lin would never use the method of one country, two systems. Although this method was called a miracle in later generations, it did live up to the word miracle. But now is not the next generation, and Wang Lin has no reason to engage in one country, two systems. In the end, people who are obviously from a country want to go there, and they have to get some visas and so on, as if they are going abroad.

"Governor Huang, you will soon set sail to return to the ruling side of Taiwan, is there anything you need help with?" Chen Mingjie patted his somewhat drowsy head vigorously, those things, it is better to not think about them for the time being, and occasionally talk about other things, maybe he can bring a little other inspiration to himself.

Chen Mingjie saw this psychology, so he temporarily abandoned his task and chatted with Huang Mingkun who was sitting on the side.

Although Huang Mingkun is not very old, he is better than being born in a wealthy family, and he has developed a momentum that feels good about himself since he was a child, which is called self-confidence to put it nicely. If you put it in the mouth of someone who doesn't like him, it becomes a pretending b. But none of this matters, the important thing is that Huang Mingkun has been recognized by Wang Lin. In China now, there are not many people who have been recognized by Wang Lin, but those who have been recognized by Wang Lin have the same fate.

Whether it is in business, politics, or the army, as long as it is a person who has been approved by Wang Lin, he will have something to do, and the representatives of this type of people are Long Yuhui and Chen Mingjie, these two military bigwigs, are only twenty-five years old and twenty-eight years old. If it is placed in the next generation, at such an age, at best, it will not be long after he has just stepped on the right track, even if he is in politics, he will be a cadre at the deputy department level. Looking at the present, which of these two is not powerful? There is no problem in saying that they are cadres at the vice-national level.

"Hehe, we are all a family, Commander Chen, when I need to use you, my Lao Huang will naturally not be polite." Huang Mingkun smiled happily, what he didn't expect was that Wang Lin really sent him back to Taiwan as governor, although the term of office was only a short four years, but after four years, where will he go? All of this was determined by his performance in the intervening four years. However, thinking of the current situation in Taiwan, Huang Mingkun became a little worried and continued:

"The current situation in Taiwan is that it is a matter of poverty and poverty, and the people at the grassroots level live in poverty, and to be honest, it is not easy to improve Taiwan's current situation. Moreover, the clan forces in Taiwan are also extremely rampant, and it is extremely normal for them to fight with each other. At the beginning of this, I am afraid that it is really necessary to trouble the garrison. ”

Regarding the situation in Taiwan, although Chen Mingjie does not know much, he can be regarded as having some understanding, and everything else is easy to say, but this clan force is the most troublesome. Any question concerning this kind of clan power, as long as one is not handled carefully, will cause greater panic and even riots. Because the contradiction between the two clans does not only represent the problem of even clans.

On the one hand, in fact, they also represent the clan forces of the entire Taiwan, and some other clans that are still in a state of silence for the time being just want to see how the new political axe handles these things. If it's reasonable, then the big guy will live together, you are your king Lao Tzu, I am my emperor of the earth, everyone you don't bother me, I don't mess with you, and they are still good friends when they meet.

But if you do something unsatisfactory, then sorry, you will get unexpected results. These clans will endlessly give you all kinds of trouble, enough to make you choke when you eat, choke on water, and wake up from nightmares when you sleep. Don't underestimate the power of the clan, sometimes, pacifying the clan is equivalent to pacifying the stability of the entire region.

With these big families taking the lead, other retail investors, even if they want to, can't mess up. People who are more cattle than you are lying on their stomachs here, what do you have to worry about as a small farmer in bulk? It's too long to be idle, isn't it? This is the surname of the Chinese people, as long as there are those who have heads and faces to take the lead, small things can become big things, and big things may also become things that are not there.

This question is an extremely severe test for Huang Mingkun, the new governor of Taiwan and the first governor of Taiwan of the Chinese Empire. If you go with it, you will prosper, and if you go against it, you will die. Taiwan's folk customs are actually quite strong. It can be seen from the fact that the Taiwanese have occupied Taiwan for several decades and that the Taiwanese have never given up the struggle.

"The garrison side asked Governor Huang to rest assured that the headquarters of the troops stationed in Taiwan would be set up in the provincial capital, and if necessary, the troops could carry out Governor Huang's request in the shortest possible time. It's just that on the Taiwan side, I asked Governor Huang to bother! Chen Mingjie replied lightly, with a hint of warning in his words.

I can meet any request you have, if you need help from the garrison, or if you need other assistance, I can give it to you, but the premise is that you have to go through the normal procedures, you can only ask the garrison for help, and you can't order the garrison to do anything. Whether or not to do it is still up to the commander of the garrison to decide. The emperor has always asked for the separation of the military and the government, and as a politician, although the current situation is a bit special, don't want to use this excuse to take the opportunity to extend your hand to the army.

How could Huang Mingkun not understand the warning tone in Chen Mingjie's words? He also knew what Wang Lin hated the most, when Wang Lin was still like Zhongtian, Huang Mingkun naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to touch Wang Lin's scales. However, Chen Mingjie's warning made Huang Mingkun somewhat surprised. It stands to reason that this kind of thing should be said by his superiors, that is, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is more in line with the identity issue. What does it mean to say this by the commander of the army?

You tell me now not to meddle in the affairs of the army, but now you have warned me, is it meddling in the affairs of the local government again? However, Huang Mingkun just thought about these words in his heart, if he really wanted to say it, it was obvious that Huang Mingkun couldn't do it. Compared with Huang Mingkun and Chen Mingjie, the status of the two in front of Wang Lin is naturally that the latter has an absolute advantage. And Chen Mingjie's warning, no matter what, is reasonable, so people can't find anything wrong.

"Commander Chen can rest assured that I am also a civil servant who came out of the training class, and I know the process of some things, and I also know what can and cannot be done." Huang Mingkun replied seemingly seriously.

Listening to Huang Mingkun's answer, Chen Mingjie was still a little uneasy in his heart, but since the other party had already stated his position, Chen Mingjie naturally couldn't ask anything, otherwise, it would really be interference in local government affairs. Chen Mingjie still thinks that he can't afford this crime, but at the right time, it is still okay to entrust the appropriate person to supervise Huang Mingkun.

I don't know why, Huang Mingkun gives Chen Mingjie the feeling that he always has a fluttering feeling, as if there is nothing, and he always feels that he is not very down-to-earth. Although from the previous words, with Wang Lin's reminder, Chen Mingjie was somewhat guarded, otherwise, based on Huang Mingkun's performance, it would take some time for Chen Mingjie to completely figure out what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd.

ended the conversation in a hurry, and for the next period of time, Chen Mingjie and Huang Mingkun were busy with their own things, except for some necessary situations that needed ventilation, the two were rarely able to get together again and talk openly. However, this does not mean that Chen Mingjie has relaxed his surveillance of Huang Mingkun, Chen Mingjie always feels that Huang Mingkun does not seem to be what he appears on the surface, and it seems that something is hiding from him.

The time has entered April, April in the south, the weather has gradually warmed up, and there are many people wearing single shirts on the street. At the end of March, except for the troops stationed in the four armies, which remained in the country, the rest of the troops withdrew to the country intermittently. In order to increase the speed of the retreat, all troops retreated to the port of Pusan, and then returned to northeastern China by land.

Of course, Wang Lin's move made some people with more sensitive nerves a little uneasy. But they couldn't say anything, now everyone was in a hurry, and no one wanted to provoke Wang Lin, the lion, for no reason. You are playing with you in East Asia, and you say that none of us actually interfered with you, at most it is a condemnation of electricity. Now that your attempt has succeeded, please be honest and don't disturb our movement.

When the Eastern Expeditionary Corps made a posture of rest and recuperation in the northeast, the nervous Tsarist Russia and other countries finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, immediately after that, China suddenly sent troops into Taiwan, and after completing the handover of defense, the troops stationed in Taiwan were also ordered to lay down their arms and accept the reorganization of the Chinese Imperial Defense Force on the spot.
