Chapter 174: Tang Gang

The first stop of the naval resistance fleet is the Polynesian islands. In fact, there are quite a lot of islands in this archipelago, and the purpose of the Maritime Resistance Army is only its main island, Tahiti, which is Tahiti as the population of Hong Kong and Taiwan in later generations. This island is not a place rich in products, its biggest feature is the climate, the four seasons are warm like spring, the style is extremely beautiful, it is really a good place to travel.

The island of Tahiti is not small, and the main island alone covers an area of 1,042 square kilometers. However, in the planning of the Maritime Resistance Force, the purpose of this island is only to serve as a relay point between South America and Asia, both for ships and aircraft.

Don't look at the scenery here, but the scenery is not worth much these days. For this Tahiti island, the staff of the Naval Resistance Army has developed an extremely complete battle plan.

But when the battle began, I realized that it was as easy as a tour. In fact, the battle did not begin at all, and the naval resistance forces occupied Tahiti. The French surrendered control without resistance.

Whether it is the government of Free France or Vichy France, the mouth is hard enough, but in the face of absolute strength, there is nothing but surrender or surrender.

On the morning of 7 October, 12 maritime reconnaissance planes took to the air and raided the airfield on the island of Tahiti. With the fleet came a company of the island battalion, landed without resistance. The battleship Pacific fired just one shot, and the French defenders in the harbor raised the white flag.

The whole process is as simple as that.

The naval resistance fleet left behind an island company, several government officials, a security team of more than 100 people, and a guano boat. Not even a single warship remained, and from then on the official government began to collect taxes. The island of Tahiti was renamed Paradise Island and incorporated into the territory of the Haitang Kingdom.

For this island with a population of more than 20,000 people, Premier Li Guang and Premier Yuan Ye's plan is like this: first form the fact of the territory of the Haitang Kingdom, and then fix this fact through diplomatic and other means. The reason why only one company of troops remained. It was not that Li Guang thought that this company was sufficient to deal with possible retaliation from the French.

This company was only used to assert sovereignty. If the French retaliated, the troops of the island company of this company immediately went into the mountains and forests to fight guerrillas. Anyway, with an island of more than 1,000 square kilometers, it is not a big problem for an army of two or three hundred people to move around.

On October 15, the naval resistance fleet arrived in Ceylon. What Li Guang did not expect was that tens of thousands of overseas Chinese had gathered on the coast. Many Chinese also arrived from Malaya and the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia).

The fact that the Chinese have a piece of territory overseas is a shock to the entire Chinese world. Although this land is still nominally rented, the fact that this land can be rented from the British Empire is enough to make overseas Chinese excited.

It took only a week for the huge fleet to unload the ships, and the overseas Chinese living in Hong Kong helped the Maritime Resistance Army unload their cargo free of charge in the past few days, as if it were the New Year.

The Chinese people watched warships, merchant ships, water fighters, tanks, cannons, and soldiers. These were enough for the Chinese to be excited, but they did not know that the fighter planes and transport planes had been unloaded early in Yemen in the Middle East according to the agreement with the British. Otherwise, it will be even more exciting. From this day on, Hambantota Port was renamed Tang Port.

As the head of government, Professor Yuen has already made a handover with the Viceroy of India in Ceylon. There are many Chinese in Ceylon, and under Professor Yuan's propaganda, many Chinese chambers of commerce and Chinese organizations have begun to move to this Chinese-controlled area.

Subsequently, in the name of the Haitang State and the Maritime Resistance Army, a series of policies of the Tanggang Chinese Special Zone were issued.

Article 1 All ethnic groups are equal and have freedom of belief.

Article 2 Encourage industry and commerce. All kinds of industry and commerce are exempt from tax in the first year, thirty-one in the second Chinese New Year's Eve, and twenty-one in the third year. The special thing is to encourage the military industry.

Third, the Chinese who join the Maritime Resistance Army will be given 20 acres of wasteland.

Originally, Li Guang had prepared $1.5 million for infrastructure construction, but there was no doubt that this amount of funds was simply not enough. But Premier Yuan's propaganda and a series of policies have made these funds useless.

The largest port terminal is jointly funded by the four major Nanyang Chinese surname companies. The condition is that the port charges belong to the four surname companies for fifteen years. All military affairs of the Naval Resistance Army are free of charge.

The airport was built by Lin Lili's brother Lin Mouzhong, and there was only one request, and he was ready to set up a private flight from Singapore to Tang Port.

Li Guang didn't have to worry about civil affairs, and after leaving a staff officer of the General Staff of the Naval Resistance Army to start designing the defense system of Tang Port, Li Guang led the fleet to the port of Kolkata in India.

The General Staff of the Naval Resistance Army has now grown to more than 30 people, and the vast majority of these people are not from military backgrounds, but all of them are technical personnel, and after two years of hard study, they still do not have the ability to plan a major war.

Regular military schools are only three or four years old, and these young technicians learn extremely fast under pressure. Moreover, these people are originally engineers and technicians, and although the defense plan they made cannot be said to be brilliant, it must definitely be regarded as decent.

If we talk about the characteristics of the planning of the General Staff of the Naval Resistance Army, it should be said that it is perfect. The reason is that there are so many professionals in this area, and there are talented people who can provide advice from a professional perspective on all aspects of a defense plan. The advantages are perfect, and the disadvantages are also perfect. With this style of staff, it is impossible for the staff to make a surprise battle plan, and a plan that is even and stable is at hand.

At first, the staff of the Naval Resistance Army played a small role, but at this stage, it has become an indispensable department in the Naval Resistance Army. Not only the operational planning, but also the defense planning, from the adjustment of personnel, materials and even industry have the presence of the General Staff. Moreover, this staff department is not only military, but was even arrested by Premier Yuan in Tanggang to help design the basic planning of the entire control area.

Since Chief of Staff Cheng Zhongying was appointed commander of the garrison of Shixiang Island, the Naval Resistance Force now lacks a competent chief of staff. Talent is rare, especially in an important role like chief of staff.

There is actually only one reason why the British are so cooperative with the delivery port and this kind of face-slapping thing is so natural - the British are already in a hurry. Britain had already lost 11 merchant ships in the Arabian Sea in the half month of October, with a total tonnage of more than 60,000 tons.

The result of the British navy patrol boat was only a German armed merchant ship, and in order to sink this German merchant ship, the British lost a destroyer, which was a great shame for the British, who claimed to be the world's first navy. In the port of Calcutta, Li Guang met with Major Smith, a liaison officer of the British Navy.

This is really an acquaintance, when Major Smith's battleship was sunk by a German submarine, he stayed on the PC for a while, and later went to Dunkirk with Li Guang to participate in the retreat.
