Chapter 156: Bridgehead Scheme
With the construction of Australia basically on the right track, the issue of interference in the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty has been submitted again.
Now the time has entered the end of July 1641, it seems that there are still more than three years before the Manchu Qing Dynasty enters the customs, but in a blink of an eye, the time will pass quickly, although everyone agrees to prevent the Manchu Qing from entering the customs, but to say that the specific plan has not been come out.
Except for those guys with strong ethnic plots, although others expressed support for this on the surface, they did not mention a word about the specific plan. It is certain that their firm determination to interfere in the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty is not so strong, and there are still ideas.
If you stand in the interests of Australia, it is very inconsistent with the actual interests of preventing the Manchu Qing Dynasty from entering the customs, although Australia's goods need the Ming market, but Australia needs immigrants more, and a turbulent Ming and the Ming who can't eat are more in line with the Australian immigration policy.
From a practical point of view, even if Australia increases its efforts to restore all its basic industries, it will be difficult to prevent such a behemoth as the Manchu Qing from entering the customs, and the most to do is to ensure that the Han regime will not be replaced.
In addition to various reasons, there is also logistics support in wartime, Australia uses thermal weapons, although when the ammunition is sufficient, it can be one enemy hundred, but the premise is that the problem of logistics supply must be guaranteed, not to mention that the distance between Daming and Australia is so far, that is, to attack Batavia Australia have to think about one or two, whether they have the ability to digest it.
Although many people who understand can see the stakes at a glance, the mood of the domestic nationalists also needs to be comforted, not to mention that these people mainly serve in the army, and if they do not show a little, it will inevitably become uncontrollable.
In recent days, the young man with strong national feelings has been a little unable to sit still, and has begun to continue all kinds of tandem and petition actions, and some of the suggestions put forward are simply incredible, why send a special team to infiltrate the Houjin generals and kill their main military and political personnel, and then they will naturally become a mess of porridge, and they have no mind to enter the Central Plains.
This kind of thinking is good, and it can even be seen that there is a shadow of an anti-Japanese drama, it is completely a group of poisoned teenagers, there is really so Jane lurking in it, so why didn't Chongzhen and the Nanming regime back then think about it, obviously this method is a little too taken for granted.
Don't talk about killing, just say whether you can speak Manchu, this standard Mandarin, even if you learn it well, there is a difference, the current Houjin area is much stricter than the Ming mainland, you have no proof and speak non-standard guy will definitely want to arrest you as a fine work and interrogate.
Since there are people who oppose it, then the guys will not do it, you say no, so give a way to come out, don't shout slogans all day long, but it's not good to act at all.
I really can't hold my face, lest I be called a slogan party, so everyone will discuss whether to come up with a plan, no matter what, we must always make a little appearance to show others.
Everyone is not ambiguous, among them, Zhao Shijie, Ren Changle and others worked out a detailed plan, from the establishment of a bridgehead, to foot intervention to drive the Manchus out of the Central Plains, and finally to help the Ming Dynasty to carry out a series of reforms.
This plan is full of more than a dozen pages thick, but to say that it really interfered with the war of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there is not a single word, and it can be seen from the plan that most of them are advocating all kinds of preparatory work in advance, especially the first bridgehead work.
What is a bridgehead, the word is not difficult to understand, is to build a fortress in the place to attack, hoard supplies and soldiers, and wait for the right time to advance.
Not to mention that their proposal is supported by many people, even the people in the military also agree with this plan, it is better to have a military base in the Far East than nothing, but everyone feels that this matter is not right.
Isn't this the last time that guy proposed to build a cargo transfer station in Hong Kong, the two plans have too many similarities, although the last plan was not implemented because there were too many immigrants on the Sea Blue and there was no time, everyone gradually forgot about it, but now it is proposed again.
However, in any case, the establishment of a bridgehead is a good thing, not only to ensure that Australia's commercial interests in Daming will not be harmed, but also to make certain preparations for the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
To establish a bridgehead in Daming, the first choice is to choose the sea, so that Australian cargo ships can dock at the location, Macau has been occupied by the Portuguese, then it can only be Hong Kong, which is close to the mainland and suitable for docking cargo ships is a good place.
But to establish a bridgehead must first obtain the consent of the Ming government, although the country is now full of peasant uprisings and Tartar seizures, but in the south still has a relative absolute right to rule, otherwise there would not be a resistance regime in the south after Chongzhen hanged himself.
The Executive Committee voted on the bridgehead plan by a show of hands, and the seven votes unanimously passed it, which means that the plan must be implemented. The news came out of the Executive Committee, whether it was the guy with this national plot or the military was ecstatic, the news was simply exciting, and several snack bars in Manchester City were full of people that day, and everyone was celebrating the adoption of this plan.
However, there is no news about the specific implementation time, and who will be sent to negotiate or deterrent by force is also the focus of everyone's speculation.
In the Starbucks restaurant, Zhao Shijie, Ren Changle and several other friends gathered at a table.
After Ren Changle added a spoonful of sugar to the coffee and stirred it, he asked Zhao Shijie: "I think it is very likely that you will come out of this negotiation, or Liu Yun, among all of them, the two of you know the most about the affairs of Daming officialdom, and you have the most contact." ”
"Hehe, this doesn't necessarily mean that the military means to deter by force." Liu Yun said meaningfully: The navy and the army do have such thoughts, and even the heads of their two major military groups have deliberately sat down and talked together, and as the person in charge of intelligence, this bit of news still cannot escape Liu Yun.
"There is such a thing," Ren Changle looked at Liu Yun with an unbelievable expression, he felt that the cost of deterrence by the military was too great, and it was not as good as the Zheng family.
"Isn't it, just watch, there will be results soon." Zhao Shijie smiled and patted the other party's shoulder, obviously believing what Liu Yun said.
