Chapter 70: Preparations Before the Attack

With the passage of time, Yuan Shikai's previous life in South Africa was not very smooth, and now it has become more and more smooth, I have to say that strong revenge** can indeed make people keep their mouths shut. In order to prevent the identity of himself and others from being revealed, which would affect his future work, Yuan Shikai suggested to the Boer leaders that the area around the barracks be designated as a military restricted area, and that troops should be sent to patrol, and anyone who entered without permission would be shot dead by the patrol.

The soldiers who are trained in the barracks must also strictly abide by the rules and regulations, memorize the military regulations and combat regulations, and the use of tactics, etc., and at the same time cannot mention the matter of the Chinese instructors to anyone.

The first phase of soldier training Boer sent a large number of veterans with battlefield experience for training, which once caused some of the Boer army's defensive lines to be unable to withstand the pressure of the British army, and even some were about to be in danger of breaking through the defensive line, after the intervention of 50 Chinese special forces, this situation not only disappeared completely, but all the British troops invariably retreated dozens of kilometers together, as if they had received some order.

Yuan Shikai is not a fool, he sent 6,000 veterans with battlefield experience to come for training, and without the support of these veterans, if the Boer army can still fight with the British army as before, then it will not make much sense for him to come here. So just after the two sides signed the agreement, Yuan Shikai ordered the special forces to reconnoiter the news of the British command.

When the Boer army gradually became a little unable to resist, the special forces took action, although this battle was not earth-shattering, but it made the British feel excited, and even began to find out, where did the Boers on the opposite side find help?

Let's not mention that the military uniforms are different, but the hat on the head is completely iron, aren't they too heavy? The weapons on the body are even more amazing, whether it is long-range or short-range, they all have strong firepower, and just look at the opponent's firepower, you know that the other party is only a few dozen people, but their tactics or something are a little depressing, neither face to face with you, nor let you be able to do what you want to do smoothly, he will follow you when you go, stop when you stop, and smash you hard while you don't pay attention, so that you lose something.

After a few days of fighting, the British commander could no longer stand this endless mental torture, the other side only had a few dozen people, and his side had now sent out a search team of more than a thousand people, but still could not find their shadows, although he did not know who these people were, but he knew that it could never be Boers, in desperation, the British commander could only report the situation to Britain, and then the whole army retreated dozens of miles, waiting for the latest reply from the country.

The Boer War, which was supposed to end in 1902, was postponed for a few years because of a small detail, which was also the heaviest result of the British Empire's 400,000 troops in the Boer battlefield, and there was no energy to meddle in other things, which also made East Asia have a powerful empire, and the navy of the British Empire did not play any role at all, although the two sides could compete at sea, The number of ships and combat experience are used to make up for the lack of large battleships, but the warships cannot be driven on the ground, and compared with that side, it seems that their own side cannot afford to consume them at all.

That's all there is to it about the Boer, Britain has been deeply trapped in the Boer battlefield, and there is no way to get out before the victory, even if he wants to make peace, the possibility of his surname is not too big, because the identity of the world boss makes him have no room for peace at all.

Looking at the telegram sent by Yuan Shikai, Wang Lin smiled, as long as the Boer battlefield fell into a stalemate or even a state of confrontation, and the longer the better. This is beneficial to Wang Lin's future development, as long as Britain can stay in the Boer battlefield for another two years, Wang Lin is sure that he will completely solve the matter in front of him before he withdraws from Boer.

What Wang Lin is currently concerned about is what happened to the troop transport ships under his command. Today, Wang Lin has come to a shipyard that has been established for several years and has cultivated many shipbuilding talents.

This shipyard has been arranged to build ships from the beginning of its establishment, and does not seek to build warships, but the ships they build also belong to the naval series, and the drawings given by Wang Lin and the teachings of the Red Alert engineers are not just teaching them to build ships. In fact, they have been building troop carriers for the past few years, and as for the 10,000-ton dock, they have only built more than 8,000-ton troop carriers, but even if this is the case, it is good, after all, everything is made from scratch, and Wang Lin will not be in a hurry.

The second five-year plan has been completed for more than a year, and the third five-year plan has also begun, which will take five years, and this shipyard with one 20,000-ton dock, two 10,000-ton docks, five 5,000-ton docks and ten 2,000-ton docks, a total of 18 large and small shipyards, has built nearly 50 large and small ships, while the 20,000-ton and 10,000-ton docks can only build 8,000-ton ships. The other is that the craftsmanship of the technicians is not too good.

In the past few years, ships of one or two thousand tons have been able to be skillfully manufactured here, but those above five thousand tons are still a little jerky. But it doesn't matter, anyway, these are all troop carriers, and they can send all the 100,000 troops under Wang Lin to the other side in one and a half round-trips, because Wang Lin kept nodding after watching the results of the shipyard, he has been here for so many years, and that huge plan is finally about to enter the countdown.

Returning to the Tangcun office, Wang Lin called Li Chengzhi, vice president of the National Defense University in charge of teaching tasks, and Yu Zhi, vice president in charge of practical training and logistics tasks, to the office.

The two vice presidents of the National Defense University were still depressed and asked Wang Lin to do what they were going to do, but when they came to Wang Lin's office, they were told that Wang Lin was not in the office now, so they asked them to wait. While they waited, the two had nothing else to do but their boring thoughts.

After waiting for about half an hour, I saw Wang Lin and the secretary Yang Zhiping each walking over with a large number of documents and materials in their hands.

"You two are here just in time, let's go to the office." Wang Lin waved his hand and led everyone into the office, the office secretary pushed the door and walked out after putting down the documents and materials, the bosses were not talking about things when he was the office secretary should be present, because he was not a portable secretary.

"It's not a big deal to let you come, after you go back, you can change the teaching work of the second grade, and the teaching work in the next three months should focus on actual combat, speed up the teaching progress, and assign them to the army for internship in advance after three months. You two principals with real power need to keep this level close to me, don't make any mistakes. Wang Lin said.

The two vice principals could only nod vigorously, the cadets had not yet graduated and were accelerated to enter the military practice, among which the longest second grade had only spent a year and a half in the military academy, and the knowledge they had learned was also half-understood, as for the first grade, they had only stayed for half a year, and at present, it was a level that was not even as good as a squad leader's command means.

"There are still many vacancies in the army, and they are empty, so why not take this opportunity to let the cadets feel what it is like to command the army in advance and accumulate experience?" Wang Lin said to himself, of course, he has already arranged the positions of the cadets, except for the generals and the capable people under his command who came from Beiyang and the old birds who had a certain official position and a certain command experience before can serve as deputy regiment commander and deputy battalion commander, the other cadets can only serve as deputy battalion commander at most, and everyone else is staying in the position of deputy company commander or deputy platoon commander.

After sending off the two vice presidents of the National Defense University, Wang Lin thought about it again and said, "Call Commander Zhang of the frogman unit." ”

"I'll do it right away, Commander-in-Chief." Yang Zhiping ran out as he spoke, and personally ran to the telegraph room to send out this telegram. Wang Lin took advantage of this time to call the base, and asked Hai 1, the commander of the Navy SEALs in the Red Police base, to come to the office.

Wang Lin then asked about the current number of SEALs, but the results were a little disappointed, because Wang Lin had not paid much attention to the SEALs, but focused on research and development technology and talent reserves, until now I knew that the SEALs were only a pitiful 200 people, so he also ordered the construction of another 300 SEALs, increasing their total number to 500.

About an hour later, Hai 1 came to Wang Lin's office first, but the office secretary outside saw that Hai 1 was fully armed, and he didn't dare to let Hai 1 in. After Wang Lin issued a release order, he stared at Hai 1 and let him in.

"I don't have to be fully armed here in the future, it will be misunderstood." Wang Lin looked at Hai 1, who was equipped with thunder people all over his body, and said helplessly.

"Yes, Commander." Hai1 replied calmly.

It didn't take long for the head of the frogman unit Zhang to hurry over, and he happened to see the heavily armed Hai 1 standing in front of Wang Lin, slightly surprised, which unit is this person from? Why haven't you seen it before? And also to be able to hold a weapon in the Commander-in-Chief's office?

"Let me introduce to you, this is Haijiang, and this is Zhang Jiancheng, the head of the regiment." Wang Lin looked at the two of them and nodded slightly, as if greeting, and then continued: "Commander Zhang, from now on, your troops will be under the command of Haijiang, including you, and then he will take his troops to your station, and then take over the command, you follow him to learn more from him, don't delay the study in the past few months." ”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Zhang Jiancheng replied with excitement on his face, and now he finally knew what he was going to do.

I had heard someone say before that when the Third Army was first established, the commander was called to Wang Lin's office, and then a stranger came in the same way, and Wang Lin also said the same thing, on the surface it seems that he handed over the command, but in fact it is the best instructor team that Wang Lin found for them, and there is no doubt about any professional knowledge to them, and I heard that the instructor team has all withdrawn from the Third Army a week ago, and the commander of the Third Army still sits back in the position of commander. It's just that the Third Army at this time is several times stronger in all aspects than before.

After the two left, Wang Lin shook his head, and said secretly in his heart: "The deployment is finally completed, and I can start my own plan only after the end of the run-in period in half a year, and I have been waiting for ten years just for that moment in half a year." ’
