Chapter 220: Fame and Responsibility
Command Hall of the Ministry of Defense of the Chinese Empire.
After the news that the paratroopers had arrived, Chen Shao's heart also relaxed a lot. However, according to the news transmitted, many Chinese died in the riots in Indonesia, many of whom died in battle while resisting the Indonesian attack. When the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chen Shao said that the empire would become a strong backing for all overseas Chinese, but only a few months later, something like this happened. Although it has been remedied now, it is still a step too late.
Chen Shao knows that there is no if in this world, but this incident also sounded the alarm for Chen Shao, and the projection ability of the emperor ** team is still a little poor. If the Imperial Air Force had a large transport aircraft with a range of more than 3,000 kilometers at this time, it would not have to go to Nansha at all, and it would have been able to take off directly from Hainan to Jakarta. Moreover, the flight speed of the Dapeng is also a little slower, 500 kilometers per hour, although this speed is already the fastest transport aircraft in the world, even the fighters at this time have not reached this value. Taking the Roc to World War II is also a good transport aircraft. Chen Shao naturally knew this, and he was very satisfied with this transport aircraft before, but as soon as this matter came, Chen Shao had to consider speeding up the development of large transport aircraft.
At this time, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and Chen Shao did not leave here at noon, but casually ate a light meal here at the Ministry of Defense. For the sake of Indonesia, he did not go to work all day. There are priorities, at this time, the entire empire is undergoing large-scale construction, and all production and construction plans have been planned, and now there is no need for Chen Shao to pay too much attention to it. Compared to the current Indonesian incident, everything else can be put aside. Moreover, Chen Shao also tested the operation of the command center and whether it was capable of commanding the whole army at any time in a major battle.
In the future, the national defense forces will have to follow the line of integration, and a large-scale campaign will require the cooperation of all branches of the armed forces, and if there is no perfect integrated command center to control it, the integration and cooperation of the various branches of the armed forces will also be greatly reduced, and the cooperation will not be so tacit. The command center is like a lubricant, and each unit and branch of the military is like a large number of gears, and with the lubricant, the gears can turn perfectly.
Seeing that Chen Shao's mood had recovered a lot, Cai Yi straightened out his thoughts and said to Chen Shao: "Your Majesty, the National Defense Force went directly to Indonesia to suppress those Indonesians, and I also know that those Indonesians deserve to die, but this kind of thing will have a very bad impact on the reputation of our army, and it will also have a lot of bad effects on Your Majesty's reputation." ”
"Matsuha, what do you want to say?" Chen Shao also heard that Cai Ye had something to say behind him.
"Your Majesty, I want to say, if we can be appropriate, don't make it too noticeable." Cai said.
"There are some things that need to be done, and the Chinese nation has been oppressed for too long, and we can't be afraid of some things that are famous. I also know what the consequences of this incident will be, but if you think about it, if we were to be more moderate in this matter, what would the people think of us would make the overseas Chinese feel cold. At the same time, what the countries of the world will think of us, and the honor we have earned in exchange for war will be discredited. Chen Shao patted Cai Ye on the shoulder and said: "This matter will be kept secret forever, and it may not appear in front of the world until thirty or fifty years later." ”
"Your Majesty, there are a lot of foreign businessmen in Jakarta, how can this be hidden." Cai Ye said with some doubts.
"Then make the scene a little bigger, and scare them out to check it out. At the same time, in the name of protecting international friends, the movement of foreign businessmen is restricted. As for the Dutch, I can assure you that they do not want the specifics of this matter to get out even more. ”
On the issue of the Netherlands, Chen Shao is very confident that the Dutch will absolutely unconditionally help China to keep secrets. Because this incident itself was provoked by the Dutch, once the dirty deeds inside are exposed, it will greatly weaken the reputation of the Netherlands in the world. The Chinese army is only in the name of indiscriminate killing, this world is a world of the jungle, who will blame the Indonesians for China at this time. Just like the Chinese in the past, anyone can be bullied, but has anyone stood up for anything? Even if they stand up, they are all disadvantaged groups, can what they say affect the world?
Once the Dutch exposed this matter, it would be the Netherlands itself that would lose the most, and its prestige in the colonies would be greatly reduced. And it will also greatly offend China, are the Dutch so stupid? When the time comes, China will take the opportunity to take the whole of Indonesia, and the Netherlands will only be able to stare dryly unless it seeks help from European countries. As for whether there is anyone in the European countries who wants to help the Netherlands, it is difficult to say, in the First World War, the Netherlands has always insisted on neutrality, although no one has offended, but no one is pleased. With China on one side and the Netherlands on the other, many people know what they should choose.
"This time, the paratrooper regiment directly listed the Dutch army as a target, are we ready to go to war with the Netherlands?" Jiang Baili thought for a moment and said.
"No, the Netherlands will never dare to go to war with us. The glory of the old empire depends on these colonies, and they are not unaware that as long as there is a war with us, it will not take a few days for the Dutch Southeast Asia region to be ours. There is a saying in the West that the rise of a great power is war and plunder. Now that the empire is in the early stages of this statement, the Netherlands will not give us an excuse to verify the truth of this statement. Chen Shao said confidently: "Of course, if the Netherlands wants to fight, we can also face it generously, anyway, the Netherlands has nothing to show up." When the time comes, we will take their colonies openly, so that the pace of our domestic construction can be faster. In the future, there will be no need to import sugar and rubber. ”
――――――――――――――
Jakarta is still under fire, although they are only mortars, and the largest caliber is only 81mm, but for those Indonesians who have not heard much artillery in their lives, both lethality and deterrence are enough. The paratroopers had no scruples at all, a large number of shells flew into the crowd, and a few thousand Dutch soldiers were not much better than the Indonesians, how many years of tranquility, and a few of them had really seen such dense artillery fire. Every day here as a soldier, there are a few soldiers in training, for many people, coming to Indonesia to be a soldier is to enjoy life. Relying on guns, these aborigines with knives and guns have no pressure on them at all.
Today they have seen what war is and what it means to be on the battlefield.
And in the Governor's Palace, the Dutch soldiers who were guarding the Governor's Palace, when they saw Dekede being set up by the Chinese soldiers and were about to go to the rescue, the special forces who had already targeted them also began to attack.
As in the streets, the Dutch soldiers guarding the entrance to the Doge's palace were shelled at the same time as the shelling, but the attacks were carried out with bazookas. In the previous riot, two Maxim heavy machine guns were carried out and erected on both sides of the gates of the Doge's Palace, just in case. And the targets of the bazooka attack are these two heavy firepower points, although these things are very antique to the Chinese army, but the lethality is not small. For the special forces, who have always pursued not giving the enemy any chance, such a thing must of course be eliminated in advance.
Two special forces suddenly dodged out of the street corner, the bazookas on their shoulders aimed at the two heavy machine gun positions at the entrance of the Governor's Palace, pulled the trigger, and two fire balls erupted. Directly hit the two heavy machine guns, the Dutch soldiers inside didn't have time to think about anything else, they were overturned by the explosion, except for the three who died on the spot, the other Dutch soldiers were not badly injured.
Received a sudden attack, the Dutch soldiers in the Governor's Palace were in a mess for a while, and at this time, several shells flew in front of the Governor's Palace. With the dust and smoke from the shells, a squad of special forces emerged from the corner of the street, their submachine guns fired at the Dutch soldiers at the entrance of the Doge's Palace. Not very dense gunfire, but the effect is not at all worse than strafing.
Before the Dutch soldiers knew what was going on, they were shot and fell to the ground, hitting either the heart of the chest or the head, and these special forces did not give them the slightest chance. Shooting is your life.
As soon as the defenders at the gate were eliminated, the matter was much simpler, using a squad as a sharp knife, quickly rushing into the governor's palace. For a moment, there were dense gunshots and explosions in the Governor's Palace. Except for the non-combatants, the Dutch soldiers inside were basically wiped out by the special forces, and some of the remaining Dutch soldiers consciously surrendered to them.
Seeing the battlefield in full swing, the corners of Xu Shiyou's mouth turned up slightly, and he ordered the liaison officer beside him: "Call Nansha Airport and ask them to airdrop a batch of ammunition to us before dark." ”
"Yes."
At this time, Dekede, who was guarded on the other side, could only sit weakly on the ground, he saw the Chinese army and the Dutch soldiers attacking together, and thought that the two countries had declared war before. He can't be blamed for this, because the move itself is a declaration of war. It's just that he doesn't know that the Chinese army did not declare war, it was like hugging the grass and beating rabbits, anyway, when the Chinese army had all kinds of arguments, the Dutch were doing it themselves.
Deckerd kept repeating a sentence in his heart: "Foolish Hendlis, Indonesia is finished, and the last glory of the kingdom will cease to exist." ”
Compared with Deckerde's emotions, those Chinese who hid in the house were full of excitement and pride at this time. Many people crowded around the windows to visit, and although they could not see clearly in the distance, they could imagine the situation there from the billowing smoke and the rumbling of cannons.
