"In terms of Nanyang, establish the Nanyang Theater of Operations, appoint Wang Jing as the commander-in-chief, and command the 600,000 troops of the 8th, 9th, and 10th Group Armies, the 150,000 troops of the Philippine Group Army, and the army of the Republic of Lanfang about 50,000 people, a total of 800,000 troops, responsible for capturing Malaysia, Indonesia and other places, and waiting for opportunities to attack the Australian mainland." Yang Jichang replied respectfully.

"Excellent! Your plan is in order! Ren Chao nodded with satisfaction and said.

"Wechen obeys!" Yang Jichang replied respectfully, "In addition, the Military Committee has issued a general military mobilization, and plans to recruit another 2 million army and 300,000 navy in the country. ”

"As the war progresses, we will need more soldiers in the future, even if there are two million, it may not be enough." Ren Chao said with a frown.

"The North Korean side said that it was willing to send 500,000 troops to assist our army in the war, and the North Korean side has issued a general mobilization for war, and it is expected to recruit at least another million troops. In addition to North Korea, the Philippines also said it could recruit another 1 million troops to fight the war. Japan had previously recruited 1 million migrant workers to serve in various battlefields, and the Japanese government said that if the Celestial Empire needed it, Japan could recruit 3 million troops to fight the war. Yang Jichang said respectfully.

"Oh! These Japanese are also red-eyed! Ren Chao said with a smile.

"Yes! Seeing that Korea and other countries have reaped so many benefits from our Chinese Empire, can these Japanese not be blushing? What's more, in the past 20 years, the Japanese have always been suppressed by our Chinese Empire, and only 20,000 army and police forces have been preserved, and the Japanese also want to take this opportunity to regain their army. Yang Jichang said with a smile.

"Do you think the Japanese can accede to their request?" Ren Chao asked with a smile.

"Weichen thought that in the past 20 years, the Japanese have always been conscientious and conscientious, and they dare not have the slightest disrespect for our Chinese Empire. And after these 20 years of education, Japan has been in awe of our Chinese Empire, so Wechen thought that he could give them a chance. Yang Jichang replied.

"Hmmm! As long as my Chinese empire can always remain strong. Naturally, Japan does not have a rebellious heart. So be it! It can be agreed that Japan will recruit a million servant troops, and immediately transfer them to Liangguang, Yunnan, and other places for training, ready to fight at any time. Ren Chao nodded and said.

"Command!" Yang Jichang responded respectfully.

"Hasn't Hong Kong Island been captured yet?" Ren Chao asked suddenly.

As for Hong Kong, due to the stubborn resistance of the British army with the help of strong fortifications, our army has not yet been able to capture Hong Kong, but our naval fleet has blocked Hong Kong Island, and the land route has also cut off Hong Kong's fresh water and food supply. It is estimated that it will not be long before our army can successfully recover Hong Kong. Yang Jichang replied honestly.

"Hmmm! And what about the naval side? Ren Chao nodded and asked.

"Your Majesty, the main force of our East China Sea Fleet has already moved south, one detachment assists the South China Sea Fleet in blockading Hong Kong, and the other detachment is going to make peace with the main force of the South China Sea Fleet. Two detachments of our North Sea Fleet and one detachment of the DPRK Fleet have also been ordered to go south at this time, and it is estimated that they will be able to meet with the main force of the South China Sea Fleet in two days. According to the plan drawn up by our Admiralty, the main forces of our Navy will assist the Army in capturing the Strait of Malacca. Then he entered the Indian Ocean through the Strait of Malacca, looking for a decisive battle with the British and Indian fleets, and striving to annihilate the British and Indian fleets as much as possible. Admiral Minister Yu Kun said respectfully.

"The Strait of Malacca is an international waterway connecting the Pacific and Indian Oceans, so it goes without saying its importance. We must do everything possible to capture Malaysia and Indonesia, and ensure that the Strait of Malacca is firmly in our hands, and as long as we grasp the Strait of Malacca, we will have the absolute initiative in the South Sea battlefield. Ren Chao said with a stern face.

"Please rest assured, the ministers will do their best. As far as possible kuài control zhì Strait of Malacca. Yang Jichang and Yu Kun said in unison.

On April 5, 1916, under the fierce attack of the Chinese army, the British troops stationed in Hong Kong suffered heavy losses. In the absence of support, the Governor of Hong Kong, Sir May Hanley, was forced to lead the British troops stationed in Hong Kong to surrender to the Huaxia Army, and Huaxia successfully recovered Hong Kong.

On April 6, 1916, a general wearing a military uniform and wearing three shining gold stars on his epaulettes boarded the city wall of Zhennanguan.

Despite this, the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Huaxia Army gathered at this time did not dare to have the slightest disrespect for this person. Because this person is the legendary general of the Chinese Empire, the general of the Chinese Empire, and Liu Yongfu, the Duke of Yue. After the establishment of the Chinese Empire, Liu Yongfu was the first to be promoted to the rank of general and the first person to be awarded the title of duke. According to the title system of the Chinese Empire, the highest title of a meritorious person with a different surname is the duke.

At this time, Liu Yongfu was 79 years old, and the years had left a deep imprint on the face of the legendary general, but at this time, Liu Yongfu's eyes flashed with a trace of determination, and his face was even more excited.

At this time, a black battle flag suddenly rose on the head of the city of Zhennan Pass, and the flag was embroidered with the pattern of the Big Dipper. This is the flag of the Black Flag Army.

In order to commemorate General Liu Yongfu, the battle sequence of the Chinese Imperial Army has always maintained the number of the Black Flag Army. After several reorganizations, the Black Flag Army now has a total of 70,000 troops under its jurisdiction of the 71st Division, the 72nd Division, and the 73rd Division, as well as the 7th Independent Artillery Brigade. Now these 70,000 troops have all gathered outside Zhennan Pass.

In fact, as early as a few years ago, General Liu Yongfu had resigned from his post as commander of the South China Military Region, returned to his hometown, and returned to Qinzhou to enjoy his old age in peace. But this time, when it was learned that the Chinese Empire had declared war on Britain and France, and was preparing to send troops to recover Vietnam. General Liu Yongfu still couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and insisted on coming to Zhennanguan despite his old and frail body.

"Brothers, 31 years ago, our Black Flag Army was defeated from Vietnam and returned to China, and the French colonists finally occupied the entire territory of Vietnam, and then forced the weak and incompetent Qing government to sign the "Sino-French New Treaty", recognizing Vietnam's independent status, making Vietnam, which has been a subject country of our China since ancient times, become a colony of the French, this is my Black Flag Army, and it is the eternal shame of my China!" Liu Yongfu stood in front of the microphone and shouted loudly. (To be continued......)
