Wang Guorui, Henry and Frings's negotiation completely failed, which means that Taiwan and the Netherlands will not use peaceful means to solve this problem, and then because of this Frings's stupidity, both sides do not plan to negotiate to solve the problem, so they all have to look at military operations to really subdue each other. This time, the Dutch have dispatched almost all the troops that the whole country can mobilize, and Taiwan has also dispatched 70 percent of its own troops, and both sides have almost pressed an important bargaining chip. If the Dutch lost, they would have lost their last colony, and the Netherlands would have been in further decline. And if Taiwan loses, Taiwan will be subject to joint economic sanctions by various countries. Although militarily Western countries will not be able to impose military sanctions on Taiwan in a short period of time, economic sanctions are inevitable. Therefore, Taiwan had no resources at that time, and the economic employment pressure on the island was also huge, so Taiwan would inevitably face civil strife and even extinction. However, once Taiwan is violently suppressed, then I am afraid that Taiwan's good image in the eyes of the people will be gone, and the people at that time also think that Taiwan is even worse than the Manchu Qing Dynasty. After all, the Manchus could still live on tenants, but Taiwan had no way to survive.

Therefore, both sides were unwilling to lose this battle, and both sides used their strength to fight. So both sides began to send troops to the front, trying to send a large number of troops to the front, and then preparing for battle. While Taiwan is from north to south, while the Netherlands is from south to north, the two sides form a standoff situation in the central part of West Kalimantan.

Both sides have used trench warfare, after all, since Taiwan fought against Japan, it has also used trench warfare on a large scale to deal with the enemy, and this trick has been learned by national armies around the world. The difference is also how quickly they use trenches, how quickly they build, and how much they understand the skills of trench warfare. If you don't understand it, then you will naturally be unlucky. As for the way to crack trench warfare. That is, at present, only China can crack trench warfare well and effectively, and other countries are somewhat incomplete in weapons. For example, shotguns, and flamethrowers, Western countries do not have advanced weapons, and Western countries are stepping up their development, but it is difficult for them to get them.

You have to know that you make one or two special things. It's completely different from mass manufacturing. If, according to the legends of later generations, if China is willing to invest heavily in later generations, then let alone the fourth-generation aircraft, the sixth-generation fighter may be able to be built. But industrialization is a big problem, and if it can't be realized, it will be in vain. Being able to produce very little does not mean that it can be produced in large quantities. Although Western countries can produce shotguns and flamethrowers, this does not mean that they can produce them in large quantities. In fact, Taiwan is not able to produce it, but Wang Guorui invented it and was recognized by the red alarm system. Then it can be produced from the system.

"Hurry up and dig so that you can enter the battlefield as much as possible!" Chen Liyan said.

And the four army divisions are all digging trenches and preparing them for battle. As for the Marine Division, they were all on guard to avoid a sudden sneak attack by the Dutch. On the whole, Taiwan's trenches are still relatively well dug, after all, although they are not so numerous. However, the small number of people means that there are fewer trenches to be excavated. Although the Dutch had more than 300,000 people engaged in the confrontation, the more they numbered, the more trenches they had to dig. This is also a very important question. So on the whole, the two sides are actually comparable, but the Taiwanese army has an engineering shovel, which can use a variety of methods to dig, and the speed is not just a little faster. And for the Dutch, they dug trenches much more slowly.

The Dutch were not without the idea of attacking suddenly, but they were also a bit of a. If the Dutch once attacked a sneak attack. I'm afraid that once it is repulsed, it will be impossible to fight back. It would be dangerous to attack the enemy before the trench was dug. If you succeed, it's okay, but if you fail, I'm afraid you'll face a bad end, and you'll definitely be chased down by the enemy at that time. This kind of situation is either a big win or a big defeat, and it is certainly not what the Dutch need. A normal general would not take risks lightly. A general takes a risk because he has to do so, and if it is normal, he still has to focus on stability. As a war, the first thing is not to seek victory first, but to seek undefeated first. Only if you are undefeated can you have a chance to find the enemy's loopholes and attack the enemy fiercely. War, in fact, is just the pursuit of invincibility, not a way to defeat the enemy and win.

"Deputy commander, we observed the armament of the Dutch, and their armament should not be as good as ours. Because although their rifles are similar to ours, their rifle is the Manlisa 1888 rifle, which I have already learned, and although this rifle is a good type of rifle many years ago, their performance is not very flattering. This rifle is very difficult to unshell, the effect is very unreliable, and they need to use their fingers to pick out the bullet almost every time they shoot. This will also have a great impact on them, so I am afraid that this is a very headache for them. And the Mauser we use is different, the Mauser is very reliable in shelling, and has a very high accuracy and hit rate, which is a very good rifle. However, this was invented by the Germans, and it is a pity that we did not make it ourselves in Taiwan. And our rifles are much more reliable than theirs, plus we don't have to pick out the shells very often, so our firepower is fierce. ”

"In terms of light and heavy weapons, we can have a full four army artillery regiments, and there are various machine gun grenadiers and other weapons for fire suppression support. And the news that the Dutch have heard so far, that is, the weapons used by the Dutch are also mixed with all kinds of artillery. However, they also have their advantages, that is, although the number of artillery is mixed, the number is relatively large. Their army of more than 300,000 people can probably have six artillery regiments in total, which is more than ours. However, in terms of comprehensive combat effectiveness, it is still about the same after firepower deduction. ”

"But the advantage that we can occupy is in the middle and low level firepower, such as mortars. The Dutch were not able to come up with a mortar, and their grenadiers were still being studied. As for heavy machine guns, the Dutch are currently trying to procure them, but almost every infantry division of them has only one platoon of heavy machine guns. Of course, it's not that the Dutch don't want to use it, but from what we know, they can't afford it. A Maxine heavy machine gun is a very expensive one, and the amount of ammunition consumed is too high, so they can't afford to use a heavy machine gun with such heavy firepower. Unlike us, our heavy machine gun ammunition is almost always adequate, so there is no need to worry. I really admire Lord Wang, I don't know where he went to buy such a cheap weapon, it's just a cost price. ”

"As for the end, their various individual equipment is not as complete as ours, and the comprehensive firepower of our individual equipment is five or six times that of the other party, so although their number is five or six times that of ours, we may not be afraid of them. In this era of warfare, the emphasis is on firepower projection capabilities, not on manpower. If they don't have enough firepower, they're just a flock of lambs to the slaughter, and they don't have any meaning! ”

After listening to the analysis of this intelligence staff officer, Chen Liyan also nodded. In fact, Taiwan still has a better chance of winning this war. Now Wang Guorui has handed over all the affairs of the army to Chen Liyan, and Wang Guorui himself went to keep an eye on that Henry. That Henry wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp, so he had to keep an eye on it, and he couldn't get out of trouble. And Wang Guorui's current division of labor with Chen Liyan is that Wang Guorui is in charge of politics and Chen Liyan is in charge of the military. And Chen Liyan is already the de facto supreme commander of this war, Wang Guorui has given him as much power as possible, any battle plan is drawn up by himself, and then in the end, he only needs to submit an outline, Wang Guorui does not review every detail as in the past.

The first is that Wang Guorui doesn't have so much time, and the main thing is that Wang Guorui doesn't want to leave the impression that he often meddles in wars. After all, from ancient times to the present, it has been divided into civil officials and military officials, and there must be a reason for this. In ancient and modern times, most of the time in China and abroad, civilian officials are the supreme leaders, which is also a special wisdom, that is, war is always a continuation of politics. Although this ancient person may have been able to have relevant insights, he may not be able to say them as clearly as in the theory of war. Wang Guorui defines himself as a supreme leader, not a general. Therefore, there is no need for him to directly intervene in every detail of the war, he just needs to allow himself to get the maximum benefit from every node of historical events.

So Wang Guorui entrusted the war to Chen Liyan again, anyway, even if this war fails, it's a big deal to start all over again. After all, he currently has the super big golden finger of the red alarm system, and even if he fails once, he is not afraid of complete destruction, so he can trust it with confidence. In addition, there are a lot of Red Police soldiers in the army, and they are not afraid of betrayal by Chen Liyan, the commander, so generally speaking, there is no need to worry about too many accidents.
