Chapter 763: Easy Login

The fleet on the sea was divided into two, one way to continue the attack, the other to turn south, bypassing Kagoshima and then turning north, the target was Sakai Port, and Chen Xie's flagship was in the northern fleet. Nagasaki was not much of economic value compared to Sakai Port, and it was the center of trade between Ming and Korean merchants and the economic center of the shogunate. After the outbreak of the Shogunate War, under the leadership of Changzhou and Satsuma, various powerful feudal clans partnered to divide the interests here. And he is also very enthusiastic about maintaining order here, repeatedly advertising Chinese and North Korean businessmen, and it is very safe here. When it comes to the share of interests, Changzhou and Satsuma will take 40% of the benefits each, and let the other feudal clans grab the remaining 20%.

To be honest, this is very offensive to people, but these two are too strong, and other big names can only recognize them if they pinch their noses. You can't beat Changzhou on the ground, you can't do Satsuma on the sea, and you can't bear it.

Commanding the fleet to attack Nagasaki was Rear Admiral Li Heng, who was still carrying the punishment on his back. In the end, the General Staff did not let them go, and the more than 3,000 foreign women they got back, this stain could not be washed away. How did these women come about? In fact, it is the countries that are too "enthusiastic" to give them a fortress. The Europeans stuffed them mainly with gypsies and Jewish women, both of whom were not welcomed in Europe, and they didn't even bring money to a few women. The problem is that these guys don't understand, since they gave it away, they left it, anyway, there are so many singles, and some people want to marry Yanma. The Spaniards were the most fucked up, getting a bunch of Ottoman women to give to the expeditionary fleet, and also encouraging the expeditionary fleet to visit Constantinople. Fortunately, Li Heng and Zhang Guangde are calm enough, looking at the map that the boundary is too far, the other end of the Mediterranean, and it is not fun to cross the Strait of Gibraltar, who knows what the Spaniards are thinking. So the two discussed. I simply didn't go into the Mediterranean, and went straight to my home. They didn't even know that the current masters of Constantinople, called the city Istanbul. Chen Xie has to be blamed for this matter, on the maps and charts he provided. It's all called Constantinople.

This matter is not clear to others, Chen Xie read the shadow report, and naturally understood that these two goods were fooled by the Europeans, and these women were the lowest strata of society in Europe. And the direct hatred between Spain and the Ottoman Empire is counted, these two want to really go to Constantinople, Chen Xie really wants to reward them, but unfortunately these two didn't go. In a fit of rage, Chen Xie ordered the General Staff. Give these two goods a punishment, stay on probation, and make meritorious contributions.

In other words, whether Li Heng and Zhang Guangde can keep their positions as major generals depends on the results of this maritime crusade. Sending troops to Japan is not only to win, but also to win beautifully, what is meant by winning beautifully. Naturally, there are fewer casualties and more profits. The General Staff has a battle plan. It depends on the execution effect.

To deal with the Japanese sailors, there is no need for too much sea power at all, which is what Li Heng regrets the most. There were only ten third-class warships under his command, and the rest were armed shopping malls, sending troops and supplies to the coast. In the end, Li Heng's decision was to personally lead the team and block Nagasaki Bay. Armed merchant ships landed in the nearby seas and laid down a division of Japanese naturalized infantry troops.

Overseas countries are full of all kinds of "naturalized people", but when it comes to the sense of belonging to the overseas alliance, it is still the strongest among Japanese Americans. Europeans and natives have never been very active in the choice of becoming soldiers. Only people of Japanese descent are the most active. Every year during the conscription season, Japanese Americans are the most enthusiastic.

In fact, these Japanese naturalized people don't like others to call them naturalized people, especially the younger generation, who prefer to call themselves citizens of Xinghai City. Legally, they were right. But in Xinghai City, people are still divided into three, six, nine and so on, but it's not so obvious. For example, if you are looking for a job, a job that is easier and pays a little higher, it is natural to give priority to Chinese Americans, and then others. On the contrary, it is in the army, there is no such statement, as long as you have Union citizenship, you can join the army. The scope of the alliance currently includes only Java, Borneo, Sumatra, Temasek, Australia, Dayuan, Liaodong and Hawaii.

Ten warships blocked Nagasaki Bay, and none of the ships in it could get out, but one came out and sank one, and the batteries on both sides of the strait were naturally the first unlucky targets, and the new high-explosive shells bombed the batteries that the Satsuma Domain had worked so hard to build, and the landing force was not hindered in any way, and it took three days to complete the delivery of a division's troops and equipment without any obstruction.

The official name of the Japanese naturalized division is "The 11th Infantry Division of the Overseas Alliance of the Ming Empire", which has no meaning of discrimination at all. Even the division commander, Major General Niu Teng, was of Japanese descent, and his equipment was exactly the same as that of the various units in Liaodong. The 11th Infantry Division has three infantry regiments, an artillery regiment, a machine gun battalion, an engineer battalion, and a communications company, with a full strength of 12,000 people. The division was only formed last year, and then it was sent to Liaodong to change equipment for training. It is said that it is a naturalized division of Japanese descent, but in fact there are still many people of Chinese descent, and more than seventy percent of the staff officers and technical units are of Chinese descent. This is really not discrimination, the main reason is that the new generation of Japanese Americans is still relatively immature in this regard and has not grown up.

Stepping on Japanese land again, Ushito squinted his eyes and looked at a mountain peak in front of him. Marked on the map as Mt. Okubo, his mission was to command this infantry division to push along the coastline, sweep away the resistance, and ensure that the fleet could not be attacked by ground batteries, and the final goal was naturally Nagagaminato.

Ushito Jiro is a top-notch excellent officer among the Japanese, enlisted in the army and participated in the Java purge battle, the Indian robbery operation, because of the excellent appearance, the learning culture is also quite positive, was escorted by the military to the army school in Shenyang for two years, half a month before graduation, received a notice from the General Staff, directly went to Anshan to take over his troops, the 11th Infantry Division.

Judging from the sequence, there are only eleven units at the level of overseas alliance divisions, and Niu Teng feels that his luck is really good. As a Japanese, now he lacks nothing, just the rank of major general. Up to now, he still wears the epaulette of a colonel, and in the entire army of the alliance, there is such a division commander who is not a major general.

This division is the latest unit to be formed, and it is characterized by the majority of Japanese descent, accounting for 70 percent. Unlike other infantry divisions, they are all mainly Chinese, and there are other ethnic groups, and they are very mixed. Why is there such a special teacher, this is still Chen Xie's meaning. In the future, India will mainly have to rely on catching those Japanese samurai to work hard, so it is necessary to set an example. Niu Fuji was one of the lucky ones, who served as a division commander for a period of time after being selected, and when Shun completed the Eastern Crusade, he was promoted to major general, and as a benchmark figure for Japanese Americans and Japanese samurai, he was able to serve the Japanese people to work hard for the overseas alliance.

What kind of organization the overseas alliance is, Ushito Jiro didn't care about it at first. In his mind, even Daming is Xinghai Gong, what kind of alliance is there to engage in. Later, I gradually got in touch with a wide range of people in the military academy, and after learning a lot of knowledge related to the Ming Dynasty, I gradually figured out the relationship inside. The Overseas Alliance was nominally part of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact it was an independent alliance. This alliance was made the general ruler of Chen Xie, and recently changed to the president. According to Ushito Jiro's inference, the current situation is probably related to some personal emotional factors of the president, otherwise it shouldn't be so complicated.

Niu Teng prefers to be a pure soldier and obey the orders of the president. In fact, the entire military and political system of the overseas alliance is based on this idea. Who will take the sect master of Da Ming in his eyes? As long as Chen Xie gives the order, the overseas alliance can land in Tianjin in minutes and go straight to Huanglong.

As for Chen Xie personally, it is really not an emotional factor, nor is it hypocrisy, it is nothing more than an unwillingness to spend energy on the huge land of Daming. In this period, the most important thing is the sea, or the next 500 years, the sea power is the most important. Anyway, there is a potential threat of overseas alliances outside, and after Chen Xie leaves, Daming will inevitably take the initiative to catch up under the threat, and Chen Xie will not need to do anything at that time. For their own interests, the magnates of the Ming Dynasty have to fight to change themselves.

"The vanguard has discovered the enemy!" Ushito Jiro's chief of staff is Lin Chunjiang, who also holds the rank of colonel, and the two are classmates in the advanced advanced training class of the Army School. Lin Chunjiang is also a special case, he is from the overseas Chinese in the Batavia period, which can be regarded as another example set by Chen Xie.

"Where?" Ushito Jiro immediately pounced on the map, and soon found a place name on the map, a place called Tomachi to the northwest of Mt. Okubo. "It's in this direction, less than three kilometers from Tomachi. The vanguard regiment reported that a squad led by the division found the local defenders and took the initiative to retreat after a sporadic exchange of fire. ”

"Don't worry, there aren't many troops in such a big place. The vanguard regiment easily solves the battle. Chief of Staff Lin, our plan is still too conservative, and we can completely draw out the strength of a regiment and go straight to Hizen Koga. "Ushito's courage is not ordinary, and the original task given to him was to take the port of Nagasaki, but now he is not satisfied.

"No, let's follow the battle plan formulated by the General Staff, we are not the main battlefield here." Lin Chunjiang denied Niu Teng's construction, but it was actually for his good. Niu Teng was not stupid, nodded and said: "It's a pity, with the equipment of our division, in fact, it can be a little more daring, it is completely possible to break up the artillery, put it in three infantry regiments, and then use the regiment as a combat unit to sweep the entire sphere of influence of the Satsuma Domain." ”

Lin Chunjiang didn't answer, but picked up the phone and gave an order: "Commander Uchida, warn your subordinates to strictly abide by the discipline of our army, and whoever violates the discipline can directly enforce the battlefield discipline." (To be continued......)
