"Knock knock, knock knock!"

In the middle of the night, the knock on the door in the Nanjing Presidential Palace was as piercing as the beat of a drum, and Li Yuanhong, who had been worried about the relocation of the capital and the restructuring for several days, was woken up again as soon as he fell asleep. When he opened the door sleepily, he hurriedly shouted before Wang Anlan could ask: "President, something big has happened in Nanyang!" ”

"What is the South Sea?!"

The drowsy Li Yuanhong didn't pay attention at first, but only realized what was going on after he came back to his memory. Wang Anlan was even more anxious, and kept nagging while helping him change his clothes: "Something is wrong." Just now, there were riots in Surabaya and Batavia in East India, where thousands of people were said to have been killed and most of the cities burned red. The Prime Minister only visited Japan yesterday, and the Vice President will not be able to reach the United States for a while, so everyone is waiting for you to come up with an idea. ”

In Wang Anlan's nagging, Li Yuanhong stepped into the Ministry of National Defense at the foot of the Purple Mountain. After several years of reform and combing, the Wehrmacht is no longer the grass-roots team it used to be, let alone a group that still completely relied on Yang Qiu and a few officers during the European War. In particular, in recent years, it seems that in order to build the country, national defense expenditures have been drastically reduced, and the annual equipment procurement expenses have been reduced to the minimum base, but the expenditures for internal construction and officer training have doubled year by year, and new tactics and new command methods have been gradually improved. So when something suddenly happens, the combat command center immediately starts operating at full capacity. The numbers of the troops appeared on the blackboard on the wall, the call codes drifted to the sea with the radio waves, the warships cruising everywhere quickly turned around with the telegrams, and even the general staff immediately came up with several plans that had already been deduced. and recalculate according to the current situation.

The advanced vertical command mode, the extensive use of radio equipment, the use of counterfeit and specially modified Enigma cipher machines, automatic printers, mechanical computers, etc., ensure that the voice of every unit in the vast territory can be heard from sitting here. It is precisely because of the later management model brought by Yang Qiu that as soon as Li Yuanhong stepped into the Ministry of National Defense, he had already seen land, sea and air generals including Song Ziqing, Yue Peng, Xue Muhua and Cheng Biguang, and even Chen Haohui and Fang Rui were sitting next to him muttering. The staff officers who came in and out and the sound of unnoticed announcements gave him a posture of concentrating and fangs.

"Stand up."

"Sit down, everybody. Ziqing, how's the situation? ”

I saw Li Yuanhong come in. The officers immediately stood up to greet them, and the tense and busy atmosphere around them was like a war! Even Li Yuanhong was secretly frightened, and couldn't help but think about what means Yang Qiu relied on. Train this army to such a terrifying degree.

"The telegram from Batavia was sent by Wang Zhaoming." As the chief of the general staff of the three armed forces, Song Ziqing became the de facto highest officer after Yang Qiu's visit, so he introduced the current situation to Li Yuanhong: "He said that the communication in Surabaya had been interrupted, and it should be occupied by the rebels. The scale of the riots in Batavia was also very large, with a small number of 30,000 or 40,000 participants! The guns were fierce in the city, and the Chinese area was also affected. At present, Li Liejun is leading a marine platoon of the embassy to protect it, but it is impossible for a 12-person platoon to take care of more than 100,000 overseas Chinese. ”

Wow.

After he finished speaking, Zhang Xiaozhun immediately pulled the curtain and picked up the whip and stood in front of the first officer's map. After Cai's death, Yue Peng took the position of commander-in-chief of the army. Zhang Xiaogui was promoted to Chief of the Army General Staff. After the European war and years of training, he also has the ability to carry the banner of the army. "At the end of last year, the Ministry of Commerce quietly conducted a survey and found that there were about 1.1 million Chinese expatriates in the entire East Indies, including about 250,000 in Borneo and 300,000 in Sumatra. The island of Java has a maximum population of about 430,000. Most of them are spread in Surabaya, Semarang, Bandung and Batavia. Although the current casualties are unknown, the rebels will surely march west along the island to support Batavia after the occupation of Surabaya, and try to drive the Dutch into the sea in one fell swoop! To the west, it must pass through Semarang, Bandung and other places, all of which are places where our expatriates live, and for whatever purpose, the places where the army passes must not be much better.

Look at the scale of the riots. It must have been a premeditated act, and Borneo, Sumatra, and other places will definitely make trouble in the next few days, and even the national independence armed forces in Annam, Malaya, Luzon, and India may rise up! Therefore, we must not only immediately send troops to protect overseas Chinese, but also immediately protect the Sumatra oil fields and pay attention to the situation in other surrounding places, so as to prevent the movement from expanding and affecting stability in the southwest and northwest of our country. ”

"Protecting overseas Chinese is definitely going to be protected, but." Li Yuanhong didn't know about Yang Qiu's deployment in Nanyang, and in fact, even many of the officers present didn't know about it. So he didn't expect the situation to be so serious, and he couldn't help but gasp. But it is necessary to send troops to protect overseas Chinese, and if you are a turtle with a shrunken head, I am afraid that the first president in the country will not let him go. He was worried that West Borneo had not yet reached an agreement, and sending troops again would lead to a real fight, so he glanced at Cheng Biguang.

As an old navy, Cheng Biguang is not very suitable for the vertical command system implemented by Yang Qiu, but he knows very well how many catties and taels the navy has. Looking at the map, he said: "The two Anhai ships were already refueled in Manila yesterday, and just now I have ordered them to leave the port and head south by tomorrow morning at the latest." On the line from Malacca to West Borneo, there are also 4 Taiwan-class heavy cruisers, 4 light cruisers, 2 aircraft carriers, 11 destroyers and 13 submarines. Now that the matter is so big, it will surely spread quickly throughout the country, and everyone will send warships over there to escort overseas Chinese in the next few days, and the British may not be able to intercept us alone. ”

"But what if you stop it? Are you sure? Li Yuanhong beat a drum in his heart. After all, the three capital ships of the British Far East Fleet are not vegetarians, especially the Hood, whose speed is comparable to that of a heavy cruiser, and its cannons are stronger than those of battleships, so the threat is too great.

His worries are not unreasonable, although Britain is declining, its naval strength still exists, and there are really no people in so many countries around the world who dare to say that they are not afraid. Cheng Biguang was also afraid, he knew best that even if he pulled out the navy now, he was not Britain's opponent, but he was still somewhat sure of dealing with a Far East Fleet, and nodded heavily: "We don't count if we fight or not." But this time, the protection of overseas Chinese is related to the life and death of millions of compatriots, and even if it can't be defeated, it must be fought, otherwise why would our navy do it. ”

The navy is confident that it is the best, and Li Yuanhong also breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head not to look at Song Ziqing but turned to Yue Peng, who was in a daze on the map. Because he knew that Song Ziqing was only taking care of the army for Yang Qiu in the final analysis, and he really wanted to say that Dinghai Shenzhen was still a famous general in his forties, short in stature but world-renowned.

Yue Peng knew the entire Nanyang plan. So my heart has long been happy. With the riots, the whole world went to protect the overseas Chinese, and no matter how powerful Britain was, it couldn't go against the whole world. What's more, there are poor parties involved, and perhaps Moscow is already considering support.

These things made him think about them, and his eyes just fell back and forth on the island of Natuna. After Su Xiaohu next to him suddenly pulled his sleeves, he realized that everyone was looking at him, and his eyes rolled and quipped: "Hey, why don't you speak?" If it's arranged, I'll take a leave of absence and go back to sleep first. ”

"Haha." Everyone was amused by him, and Li Yuanhong also laughed twice before asking, "Zi'an, what do you think we should do now?" ”

Yue Peng took a deep breath and straightened his waist. This slight movement made him seem to have changed into a different person, even if he didn't move while holding the teacup, it gave people a momentum of a tiger about to come out, which made people secretly frightened. On the contrary, he didn't feel it. He said succinctly: "The Second Marine Regiment is exercising in Fengshan (now Kaohsiung), Taiwan, and two fast troop carriers are also there. I mean send troops immediately, whether Britain fights or not, we have to take on this responsibility by wearing this uniform! ”

"But what if Britain really fights?" Li Yuanhong asked.

"Hehe, that's easy." Yue Peng laughed when he heard such a major problem: "The 13th and 17th divisions went west from Kunming. The 21st Division stationed in Urumqi went south to Kashgar, the 121st and 122nd Divisions went to Andijan, the 18th Division crossed the Tajikswakhan River and headed south, and the 4th Division entered Tibet and entered Sikkim. The Navy dispatched two cruisers to shell the Balepaban to destroy the oil fields, mine them with submarines in the Bass Strait and the Malacca Strait, and then. ”

"Stop!"

Is this there to resolve regional conflicts? It is clearly to take the heart of the British Empire! Li Yuanhong hurriedly waved his hand to stop his words. Seeing this, the generals around covered their mouths and twitched their shoulders vigorously. This move can be regarded as making President Li Da understand that these veteran ruffians have all the plans in their hearts, and maybe a few of them are eager for Britain to do it, and many of them want military funds to take the opportunity to go to war.

Yue Peng also put away his smiling face and stopped joking, and said solemnly: "President, give an order!" ”

A sentence of "order" was like a heavy hammer beating a drum, making Li Yuanhong cautious again. At this time, he realized that it was not easy to pick it up again after more than ten years of military affairs, and he couldn't even grasp such a small order. Sighing secretly in his heart, it was ridiculous that at the beginning of the constitutional amendment, he had fantasized about what he could do after becoming the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces and taking back the military power, but now it seems that even if he wants to do it, he has no ability, so he has to ask: "Did Chenhua send a telegram over there?" ”

Song Ziqing nodded: "It's already been sent." It's daytime in the United States, and it takes a lot of time to get back and forth, and if you wait for the vice president to call back, maybe the rebels have already taken Batavia. Nanyang is far away from our country, and the best way to do this is to send troops first, first, to save time, and secondly, to take immediate action once it is replied. ”

"Let's go, then." Li Yuanhong thought about it, gritted his teeth and gave the order to take action, and then remembered one more thing: "It is not clear how long the overseas Chinese protection troops will be carried, and there must be a supply and a place to stay, as well as someone to command the troops." ”

"Let Wang Huzi be in charge of the sea, and the ground protection of overseas Chinese will be directly commanded by Dongfang Chen, the commander of the Second Marine Regiment." Yue Peng would not let go of this opportunity to train young people, and chose Dongfang Chen in the "German Nine", and slowly put down the teacup: "The evacuation and supply base is on Natuna Island!" ”

Natuna Island? Li Yuanhong and Cheng Biguang both gasped, only to find that they really couldn't compare with the people trained by Yang Qiu, they were all masters who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic! However, Fang Rui and Chen Haohui looked at each other and smiled, Nanyang finally made a fuss! Once the box of the Nanyang national independence movement is opened, it is not so simple to close it again!

As for Natuna, the supply base for the evacuation of expatriates selected by Yue Peng and Yang Qiu, as long as the marines go up, I'm afraid that Emperor Lao Tzu won't even want to drive them down again. For the two men, all they had to do was how to secretly support the guerrillas, which burned the fire for a longer time, hooking up the national independence activists in Moscow and the South Seas and even in India and Persia......
