Chapter 343: Purging Operation (1)
The troops led by Major He Yu of the 1st Australian Company arrived in Malacca on time on board the Mermaid warship within the stipulated time.
After a week of rest and adjustment, the officers and men of the unit quickly adapted to the local climate and habits, and began training.
According to the regulations, the mission of the 1st Company this time is to carry out a joint clean-up operation with the 3rd Brigade of Heishui stationed here, and to restore a stable and peaceful development environment in Malacca City.
The future development of Malacca City is mainly biased towards industry, according to the suggestions of the crosser, in the future, enterprises that are relatively polluting and require a lot of labor will be given priority to be arranged in the overseas territory of Malacca, for those who have experienced environmental pollution in later generations, at this time they have begun to consciously protect the local environment.
Locally, some of the more polluting companies have been told to move out of the capital city and into remote inland areas or undeveloped marginal areas, not wanting the city to become the historic foggy capital of London.
Of course, as for whether the purpose of this will cause pollution and damage to the ecological environment in overseas territories, this is not a matter of public consideration, and there must be sacrifices to develop, not to mention that the existing technology cannot achieve a complete state of pollution in many places.
Although the environmental protection law has been introduced, but the process of the body still encountered considerable problems, after all, many production enterprises to change environmental pollution must achieve technological improvement, and technological improvement is a certain accumulation, if even the National Academy of Science can not solve, let alone expect the enterprise itself to solve, so the relevant environmental law can only be improved in continuous practice.
Of course, the environmental law only applies to Australia, and there are no clear regulations and requirements for overseas regulations, otherwise there will be no relevant policies to allow more polluting enterprises to set up factories here.
Because a factory requires a large area of land, although there is a large area of land around the city of Malacca, there are local natives living on these lands, and from time to time they attack the citizens and merchants of Malacca, causing a lot of trouble to the local government.
The policy of the Dutch was to raze the razor. The Malacca government has not not considered this kind of policy by attracting a tribe to fight a tribe, but it requires a large amount of upfront funds to do so, and after a calculation, the investment alone can directly fight a war once and for all.
For this reason, the Malacca government immediately decided to submit a request to the National Assembly to send troops to carry out a purge operation against the surrounding indigenous tribes, and also submitted proof of the cost of the two methods.
The members of the National Assembly are all money-conscious people, and as soon as they saw the report, they immediately agreed to the proposal of the local government of Malacca to come up with a solution once and for all.
Moreover, if these natives are solved, they can also absorb more immigrants to Malacca, reclaim the world, and develop here, so as to feed back to the Australian mainland in the future.
With the consent of a group of congressmen. An order for the purge was sent to the Ministry of Defence, which repeatedly agreed to send troops to Malacca for a joint operation with Blackwater after receiving concessions from the government.
In order to appease the officers and men of the first company, the Ministry of National Defense led the army staff to implement as soon as possible the expansion of the first company into a battalion-level unit and the allocation of officers.
With these pre-conditions, the officers and men of the 1st Company, who had been somewhat dissatisfied, were mobilized again, and they all looked forward to the benefits that the expansion of the army would bring to them.
Originally, some soldiers of the knowledge squad leader or deputy squad were expanded. You don't have to think about it to know that you will be promoted directly, and some ordinary soldiers who have not been appointed because of the limited number of places are also very much looking forward to their new status.
At that time, He Yu, the chief officer, did not bring much promotion because of the expansion, but maintained the rank of major, in fact, the purpose of this was to avoid other people's gossip. After all, his promotion was too fast, several times faster than that of ordinary soldiers, and even officers who were also born through the crowd were not as fast as him.
It is inevitable that this kind of promotion speed will be envied by others, so basically the battle on the front line is handed over to him. It's also to gag some people's mouths.
A plain to the west of the city of Malacca was now full of camps, where the soldiers of the 1st Company and the soldiers of Blackwater were concentrated. It will serve as the base and headquarters of the joint clearance operation, and all the ammunition and ammunition that are transported will be stored here for safekeeping.
In order to understand the enemy's situation as soon as possible, He Yu specially handed over the officers of the two units to the combat conference room today for exchange: "Captain Lu, now you can introduce to us the information you have, and see if there is any discrepancy between the information we say we have. ”
"Yes, Major." Lu Xinghan is the commander-in-chief of the Malacca Blackwater Brigade, and also serves as a staff officer.
"At present, according to the information we have, there are three tribes to the east of Malacca City, five to the west, and two to the north, among which the tribes that often launch attacks on Malacca City are mainly the tribes from the east and the west, and the two tribes in the north are relatively small and have always been at peace with us, and often barter with us with some local products."
The tribes introduced by Lu Xinghan are all within 20 kilometers of the city of Malacca, and they are also the most vulnerable to the destabilizing factors that endanger the security of the city of Malacca.
In any way, it is impossible to fight on both sides at the same time, and he is good at inflicting heavy blows on the enemy with his superior forces, so as to completely destroy the enemy's most effective forces, and then come to deal with other small forces, which are either recruited or broken by each one.
Therefore, after listening to Lu Xinghan's introduction, he already had a general battle route in his head, concentrated the superior forces in his hand to launch an attack on the five tribes in the west with the largest number of people, annihilated the enemy's living forces in one fell swoop, and then transferred troops to the east.
Although there is a certain amount of adventure in this way, it is likely to be attacked by the belly of the enemy in the east, but He Yu knows it through understanding. There was not much contact between the tribes of the East and the West, and they often fought for each other before the arrival of the foreign colonists, and the elimination of the most powerful tribes in the west solved the greatest possible hidden danger.
