Chapter 762: South China Sea Storm (4)

@@@@@@@

Soon after Yang Qiu was woken up by the phone, there were already screeching noises after sudden braking in the presidential palace compound.

In addition to Song Ziqing, Chen Shaokuan, and others, even cabinet ministers such as Wang Zhengting and Murong Han were alarmed by the sound of another riot in Batavia, and rushed to the presidential palace to inquire about the situation. "The attack was launched by Sukarno's East Indonesian Revolutionary Army, with a total strength of more than 20,000 troops, which has been trained by the Japanese army since two years ago and has a certain combat capability. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Nagata Tetsuyama also transferred two brigades from the East Timorese garrison, took a merchant ship, carried light weapons in civilian clothes, and arrived on Java Island two days ago to blend in with the Indonesian Revolutionary Army to cooperate in the attack. So, this was a well-planned and well-planned sneak attack, taking advantage of the laxity of the Dutch and relying on the locals to cover the rapid launch of the city capture battle!

The Naval Listening Post of the Military Intelligence Agency Natuna had already detected a clear telegram for help from the cruiser Dutch Java in the port of Batavia an hour earlier, which said that the revolutionary army was on a fierce offensive, that the three infantry battalions had been fully occupied, that Governor Ramboster and some of the defenders had retreated to the harbor fortress, that the coastal defense ships Java and Surabaya had been ordered to fire on the shore, and that the remaining gunboats were rushing to Surabaya, where it was said that there had also been a large-scale exchange of fire and that the Java Island conveyed the governor's orders, The Dutch troops stationed outside Java Island are required to immediately return to Batavia, and at the same time, the important units of Balikpapan Oil Field, Palembang Oil Field, and Makassar Tin Mine are required to be careful of enemy destruction and prepare to destroy!

In addition to the Dutch communications, the listening post subsequently received encrypted telegrams from the Singapore Fortress and Cam Ranh Bay, the details of which are unknown. The radio signal of the American cruiser Houston, which was temporarily repaired in Luzon, also appeared briefly. And also! At about 10 o'clock this morning, the Haizi No. 16 ore ship of the Wuzhou Shipping Company encountered the Japanese Navy's heavy cruiser Nachi while passing through the Bali Sea, and the ore ship was immediately expelled after the encounter, signaling that they had mistakenly intruded into the Japanese Navy's exercise area. The atmosphere of the presidential palace gradually became solemn with Yan Baohang's rapidly turning mouth. It has long been clear that Japan wants to go south. But at this time, the speed of the Japanese army's rapid and fierce attack still surprised everyone.

Before Yan Baohang closed the document, he looked at Yang Qiu, whose face did not change: "There is also unconfirmed news, the Japanese minister in Batavia, Kobayashi Tatsuzo, is likely to have been killed in the crossfire!" ”

"What!"

"Takuzo Kobayashi was blown up?"

"Who's doing it? Accidental wound or retaliation by the Dutch army? ”

The last news shook the senior officers and ministers present, and even Song Ziqing, who had a calm temperament, stared at him. This news is so big! As a Japanese admiral, Kobayashi Takazo has a very high status in the Japanese Navy. If it was killed by the Dutch. Then the Japanese Navy will definitely be forced to openly attack the Dutch East Indies, although this is what everyone wants to see the most, but if it is not for the Dutch to do it, then this Nagata Iron Mountain is too terrible!!

"This Nagata Iron Mountain is really a good plan!" Everyone was silent for a long time, and a voice came from the side. Jiang Fangzhen hung his head, his face a little gloomy. He said to himself: "The death of Kobayashi will definitely provoke the voice of revenge from all over Japan." There are three benefits to this! As soon as Hideki Tojo came, those people had to stop arguing and go south with all their might! Second, now that Sukarno is in the hands of Nagata Tieshan, he can completely let Sukarno declare independence first, and then pretend to take revenge and threaten with the fact that Kobayashi was blown up, and muddy the waters before the British retaliate, so that Sukarno pretends not to dare to offend Japan and lease some strategic places in the Dutch East Indies to Japan! That's the case. If Britain wants to avenge the Netherlands, it must bypass Japan, unless Britain declares war on Japan first! I guess Nagata Tetsuyama would like Britain to declare war, so that he can directly swallow Malaya and Singapore. Maybe even Luzon and Vietnam can't escape. ”

In Jiang Fangzhen's quiet analysis, it seems that he has already determined that Kobayashi Jizao was killed by his own people. However, everyone thinks that this deduction is very correct, because even if the Dutch knew that the Japanese were involved in the riot, they would not retaliate with a big future before declaring war. Sukarno and the IRA are even more unlikely. It's too late for them to slap Japan now, so how could they assassinate an admiral with important influence? As for accidental injury, it is a joke. As long as Nagata Tetsuyama revealed his plan in advance, how could Kobayashi Tatsuzo be stupid enough to take the initiative to go to the most dangerous governor's palace to find death?

"That's it! It has nothing to do with us how Kobayashi dies. ”

Yang Qiu waved his hand, perhaps he was the happiest person at this moment. Japan has finally gone south! The news of Batavia made him breathe a sigh of relief from the inside out. You must know that in order to obtain industrial aid and means of production from Europe and the United States, he developed industry from scratch, he openly recognized the Versailles system, recognized the hegemony of Britain and France, and promised not to expand and not colonize. But this promise helped Britain and France stabilize the Versailles system for nearly two decades, but it allowed them to be tied down in foreign affairs. In order to break the deadlock, but also in order to allow this nation to gain

has a broader living space, and under the condition that the promise cannot be changed and the national system cannot be changed, he dreams of today's day more than anyone else! He even secretly thought that if Japan did not go south, he would simply support a few Japanese warships and raw materials, and let the other side go south to completely destroy the Versailles system built by Britain and France, and completely disrupt and destroy the southwest Pacific Ocean. Because only in this way can we take the initiative to go out and bring this sea area into the sphere of influence of the Republic of China in the name of "containing opponents and national interests"!

Fortunately, there is no need to secretly support Japan, because Nagata Tetsuyama, a master of strategy, did not let go of this good opportunity after all. Therefore, the important thing now is not to find a way to let the Japanese army go south, but to seize the lead in this game as soon as possible. So he swept his gaze and stopped on Yue Peng's face: "Zi'an, what should you do next?" ”

"The first step is to evacuate the overseas Chinese." On the way here, Yue Peng had already discussed the evacuation of overseas Chinese with Chen Shaokuan, so he immediately replied: "With our people, Yongtian must look forward and backward when he moves, and he may not have the courage to continue to go deeper after controlling Java Island." Therefore, I suggest that all the expatriates in the Dutch East Indies east of Palembang and outside the Minas oil fields should be temporarily evacuated to West Borneo, and that Sumatra should be followed by the movements of the Japanese army. ”

Zhang Xiaozhun said with a smile: "Zi'an is right, what we have to do now is to completely let go, so that we don't want to get involved in the conflict in the South Seas." After the Japanese army made a big deal on Java Island, the country's confidence must have swelled, and Hideki Tojo and these people will definitely be afraid of the comeback of Nagata Iron Mountain, even if they don't want to fight, they will come to grab the credit, and it is impossible to say that in two days, someone will rush to the Philippines and Sarawak with brain fever, and there are not a few oil fields there. ”

"Balikpapan and Palembang have enough oil, and if Japan wants to continue to go south to grab Sarawak, I am afraid it will not work." Song Ziqing looked at Yang Qiu with a smile. Everyone knew what he meant, but Yang Qiu didn't take care of the oil field first, but looked at Chen Shaokuan: "Houfu, where is your nearest warship?" ”

"The 23rd fleet is in Natuna, there are heavy cruisers Nanchang, light cruisers Oujiang, fast mine-laying cruisers Anxinjiang, and four destroyers.

Chen Shaokuan's words made the ministers nod secretly, admiring Yang Qiu's strategy in his early years to get Natuna at the expense of offending Britain and the Netherlands, if it weren't for this strategic sea and air base, the navy could only be regarded as an offshore sea division, and it would be impossible to react so quickly to interfere in the situation in the South Seas. "Send a telegram to the Embassy in Batavia to protect the safety of the diaspora. Ziqing, Confucianism. Yang Qiu turned his head and looked at Song Ziqing and Wang Zhengting: "You two will work hard tonight, and immediately draft a telegram for the evacuation of overseas Chinese in the name of the government and the Ministry of National Defense, requesting all ships sailing in and around the Dutch East Indies to immediately start evacuation operations, and the specific measures of action and the protection of ships will be the responsibility of the navy." ”

"President." Before Yang Qiu could arrange it, Gu Yuwen in the corner suddenly stood up: "I thought about it just now, Yongtian Tieshan's plan is very good, but he made a big mistake!" ”

"Oh?" Everyone was stunned, and even Wang Zhengting, who recorded it, stopped writing, looked at the economic adviser of the presidential office, and asked, "Yuwen, how do you say this?" ”

Gu Yuwen is still the same old look, and he always likes to scratch his hair when he thinks about things, so the first feeling when he stands up at this moment is that his hair is full of messy hair. He didn't pay attention to the image at all, and said eagerly: "General Baili's analysis just now has made it very clear, Nagata Tieshan deliberately blew up his admiral in order to gain time, so that Britain could not find a reason, if there is no accident, it should be able to fight for a year and a half." But he forgot that because he had no name, he could only control Balikpapan and Palembang oil fields through Soekarno. I have calculated before that due to the strong demand in our country, the Anglo-Dutch Shell company has been expanding its production capacity over the years, and the two oil fields together can produce 49 million barrels of crude oil per year, and if it can be destroyed, it will take more than a year for Japan to restore production capacity even if it wants to! It can greatly relieve our stress, and it can also make several small oil fields in Sarawak and the Philippines more dazzling! ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Yuwen's chicken nest became synonymous with wisdom in the eyes of everyone, and Qin Zhangshu immediately looked at Yang Qiu: "President, Yuwen he." Before he finished speaking, Yang Qiu raised his hand to interrupt with a hook on the corner of his mouth, and looked at Yue Peng with a smile: "Zi'an, did you see it?" It's not just the two of us who think so. ”

At this time, everyone knew that Yang Qiu and Yue Peng had already made up their minds to destroy the oil field, but Wang Zhengting and several ministers were secretly worried: "President, the oil field is still nominally the property of Britain and the Netherlands, will this be done?" ”

"What will be?" Yang Qiu hadn't spoken yet, but Yue Peng had already stared at him, and his whole body momentum skyrocketed: "I blew it up so that he wouldn't fall into the hands of the enemy!" Britain and the Netherlands should thank us! ”
