Chapter 228: Dilemma

Steward Fang's confession was sent to Wang Yi, and seeing that Steward Fang didn't know who the Dragon King was, this was not unexpected by him. After all, Steward Fang is only a steward of the Shen family, and the Dragon King's activities in Cambodia and South Vietnam are just a local armed force built up in the cloak of religion and fooling the people. In the past, not to mention the king of Qingjun in the Qing court, even the Shen family would disdain it. However, if the Northeast Autonomous Region calms down, the indomitable momentum of rapid development will always give the Qing court an irresistible sense of crisis. It's just that they don't dare to stir up trouble in the Northeast, firstly, because they had the experience of Prince Gong jumping off the building in 60, and secondly, the Northeast is too close to Beijing, and the Qing court is afraid that the Northeast will be impulsive and will end their nest. The five provinces of Southeast Asia and Mozambique in Southeast Africa, the latter is too far away, and the former is in the south of Guangxi, which is not very far from the southeast coast. It's quite easy to control.

Steward Fang said that in order to promote the cooperation between the three parties, King Qingjun also made a special trip to Fuzhou. In the Shen family, he met Hu Yunzan, the first strategist under the Dragon King, and among them, the Shen family was just an obedient character. It was the Dragon King who was really in charge of the uprising, and the King of Gyeongjun was responsible for providing funds and supplies, as well as some locally trained private soldiers, who were the main ones in the riots in Saigon. Zhao Minfeng stood in front of Wang Yi and introduced the situation.

Wang Yi took a sip of tea and said, "Go on." ”

Shen Jiu presided over the riot in Saigon, and in a sense, it also surprised the Shen family and even the other two families. The original plan was to provoke unrest in South Vietnam and attract the insurance team of Cambodian province to the east. In this way, there will be enough room for the dragon king to move, and the possibility of success will be greatly increased. However, because of Shen Jiu's excellent operation, if they had invested heavily in Saigon at the beginning, there were only more than fifty soldiers in the Tianhuan Hotel at that time, no matter how outstanding the firepower was, it might not be impossible to encircle and annihilate you. ”

"That's a good thing." The king nodded a little.

"It's a pity that they not only lacked troops, but also changed generals on the spot, giving up Shen Jiu, who formulated the entire Saigon plan, and using Shen Chong, a descendant of the Shen family. Compared with the former, the latter is a gentleman, not to mention leading the troops to fight, even the chicken has never killed a single one, which can be called a lack of success and more than defeat. Of course, this is also good news for us. Zhao Minfeng said with a smile. After that, whether King Qingjun was angry with the Shen family because he missed the opportunity, this steward Fang is unknown. ”

Wang Yi didn't care too much about this, raised his eyes to look at Zhao Minfang and said, "Tune the tiger away from the mountain!" Are you saying that the Shen family made such a big disturbance in Saigon because they wanted to attract troops from Cambodian Province to South Vietnam, so as to create conditions for the Dragon King to rise up in Cambodia? ”

"Well, that's exactly what Steward Fang said."

"Doesn't that mean...... Is Ya Chi in danger in Cambodia? The king's eyebrows furrowed.

Of course, Zhao Minfeng knew who Shen Yazhi was, and there was no one who stayed in the Northeast Intelligence Bureau who didn't know Shen Yazhi.

"Sir, do you want the insurance team from Cambodia to return to the station immediately......" Gu Quan was also beside him, with an idea.

Wang Yi was a little moved after hearing this, but he had been in a high position for many years, and he knew that the more critical the moment, the more calm he had, so although he was anxious at this time, his feelings began to calm down surprisingly. "Forget it, it's too late. Now in a hurry to rush back, it is very likely that the dragon king's encirclement plan to send reinforcements, although the terrain of Cambodia has been adapted to our troops for a while, but compared with those natives, it is still greatly backward. Moreover, in the humid rainforest of dense forests and ravines, the combat strength of our native troops will be reduced by four to fifty percent, and the power of heavy weapons will not be brought into play. ”

Zhao Minfeng would not intervene in military matters, and Wang began to think about countermeasures.

Han Xiujing knocked on the door with a text clip and walked in at this time, with an anxious look on her face, and said, "Report." ”

"Say."

"I received a call from Phnom Penh that various parts of Cambodia were attacked by unknown armed forces."

"What!?" Gu Quan and Zhao Minfeng were surprised at the same time.

"Immediately order the Cambodian 1st Division to retreat and defend the Phnom Penh area, protect the security of important institutions, and wait for reinforcements, and at the same time send airships to patrol the Cambodian-Siam border, and the navy enters the Gulf of Siam, strictly prohibiting any ships from accompanying it." Wang Yi had a response in his heart and immediately issued an order.

"Sir, although the airships are sharp, our air force in the five provinces of Southeast Asia is very weak, and the number of airships is insufficient. If there is not enough army involvement, I am afraid that the rebellion will not be completely eliminated. If it is delayed for too long, I am afraid that the British and Siam will be ready to move, and if it is then, it will be very disadvantageous to us. ”

Wang Yi shook his head and said, "If we really fight a regular war, we are not afraid, but once they choose to fight guerrilla warfare, it will be very disadvantageous to us." ”

"Guerrilla warfare?" Gu Quan didn't hear this term, and Wang Yi explained to him again.

"It's all because of my mishandling in Saigon, which made the situation in South Vietnam get out of control. If I could do a better job and be more responsible, you wouldn't have to transfer troops from Cambodia, sir. ”

Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about this. The situation in the five provinces of Southeast Asia is now tense, and it has exceeded my initial expectations. Because of Mozambique, at least three divisions of our military strength in the five provinces of Southeast Asia have been sent there. Now if it is transferred back, it is far from quenching the thirst of the near, and there is no hope. At present, the strength of the six divisions in the five provinces is not too much, but it is not much less. Local side ......"

Han Xiujing interjected at this time: "According to the latest information transmitted by Miss Qianjia, Tsarist Russia began large-scale military training last year, although last year we achieved a huge advantage on the battlefield because of the application of new weapons (biplanes), but looking at the current meaning, the Tsarist Russians seem to have begun to change their tactics, take the initiative to retreat westward, exchange space for logistics, and at the same time lengthen our logistics." Although the tactics we used to build military bases while fighting, occupying one place, and consolidating one place were effective, according to the latest intelligence, it was obvious that the Tsarists had to turn their guns and prepare to use troops against Xinjiang and western Mongolia, so that the previous tactics could not be effective. Therefore, in order to cope with the new situation against Russia, the mainland cannot provide too many troops to the five Southeast Asian provinces. ”

"How can this be?"

Gu Quan and Zhao Minfeng didn't know about the situation in their homeland, so when they heard Han Xiujing's distraction, they were both taken aback.

Wang Yi looked at the map, and sighed in his heart, his previous judgment was too optimistic, so that in order to develop Africa, too many forces were drawn from the five provinces of Southeast Asia. Cambodia and Dongtai provinces on the map are like two pieces of fat, attracting the attention of too many hungry wolves around.
