"Lord Wang, now we are here with only more than 10,000 marines, and our domestic army is gradually coming in batches. However, this place is so big, and our first, second, fifth, sixth, and fourth divisions in Taiwan will be just a drop in the bucket. At that time, we will have more than 70,000 people at most, and it will be impossible to defend the whole of Indonesia. Such a large territory can completely dilute our troops, and we are afraid that we will be attacked by the natives and so on. And at that time, once the troops were diluted into the vast land, then we had no firearms, and at that time the natives could take advantage of the familiar terrain and then sneak attack us. At that time, guerrilla warfare was something that could bother us! Chen Liyan said.

Wang Guorui frowned, because this was really the case at the moment. Indonesia has millions of square kilometers of land, and it is mainly inhabited by indigenous people. At that time, it is impossible to defend such a vast land with more than 70,000 troops, and once the troops are dispersed at that time, I am afraid that the troops that are scattered will be very easy to be attacked by the natives to concentrate their forces, and the losses will be great at that time.

Wang Guorui can very clearly estimate that the current situation of the Taiwan army in Indonesia is relatively similar to the situation of the Japanese army that invaded China in those years, and even a little more tragic than the Japanese army that invaded China. Although the vast number of troops invading China at that time had hundreds of thousands of powerful troops, once the war deepened, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Japanese army at that time were diluted to the vast territory of China, and there were only a few people in each county and each township on average, and there was even a small team guarding a regimental county seat.

Therefore, in the later stage of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Japanese army's strength was overstretched, and their limited strength was simply unable to suppress a large area of land in the occupied area. On the other hand, the Chinese army, which makes extensive use of guerrilla warfare. Sparrow battles to kill and injure enemies. And even formed a lot of military engineering teams behind enemy lines, and then organized some militia to sneak attack the Japanese army. Even if on average, each county kills a Japanese soldier every half a month, and in a year, the whole country can kill almost 70,000 Japanese soldiers, and if you stick to it, you can drag down the Japanese army. At that time, the population of Japan was smaller than that of China, and if they really wanted to engage in the so-called "killing game", it would not be China's opponent at all. The Chinese found the right way and used guerrilla warfare to consume them. Their human resources and all kinds of materials were exhausted, and finally Japan had to quench its thirst to start the Pacific War.

However, the current situation in Taiwan is very similar to that of the Japanese army in those years, and the army has not yet arrived, even if it is after the arrival of the army, it will be more than 70,000 people. Such a small amount of troops were scattered across the vast part of Indonesia, and it was not enough to even plug the gaps. At that time, once the troops are dispersed, I am afraid that it will be easy for those natives to concentrate their forces and sneak attack, so that the natives can form a local advantage in troops, and the fundamental small number of troops on their side will not be able to get the opportunity to counterattack at all. Even if the time comes, the indigenous weapons will be backward. But I can't stand the crowd!

Since Wang Guorui knew the lessons of the Japanese, he naturally could not make this mistake, so he immediately planned to solve the problem of insufficient troops. If there are not enough troops, then I am afraid that once the army is diluted to the whole of Indonesia, it will not be enough to defend at all, and it will be easy to be disgraced by the enemy's guerrilla warfare. Since the Japanese have suffered losses, they must have lessons to learn. Otherwise, Wang Guorui knew that he would definitely suffer again.

"And how did the Dutch solve this problem?" Wang Guorui asked, he wanted to know. How did the Dutch, who were also the invaders, solve this problem, after all, the Dutch did not have enough troops.

Chen Liyan immediately said: "The way the Dutch can do is not to provoke the natives, first to deter them with a strong deterrent, and then to appease them by beating a stick and giving a sweet date." The Dutch have a choice, and that is to unite with the natives to exclude us Chinese. The Chinese are small in number and have a cowardly character. And there is a lot of wealth, so the Dutch will sow discord between the natives and the Chinese, and then unite with the natives to bully the Chinese. In this way, the Dutch and the natives had a common so-called enemy, and they were able to make peace for a while. ”

"So the Dutch they are without destroying the indigenous way of living, the structure of social organization. They chose to cooperate with the natives to rob the Chinese of their wealth, so that they could also come together with the natives. But we can't, we don't have a common enemy with the natives, and we can't bully us Chinese with the natives. There is another reason, we are going to choose to immigrate, once we have a large number of immigrants from the country, then I am afraid that we will face the destruction of the social structure of the indigenous people, so that they will definitely hate us very much. At that time, it was impossible for us to make peace with the natives, and we must be the enemies of the natives. ”

After all, the Dutch at least regarded Indonesia as a colony, as a place to plunder the economy, not as their own territory. However, in the future, Wang Guorui will regard Taiwan as his own territory, and naturally he cannot be the same as Indonesia. There should be two attitudes towards one's own territory and colonies.

"And what do you mean?" Wang Guorui asked.

"Form a garrison and form a garrison from among our Chinese in Nanyang. With these garrisons, we can basically ensure the perfection of our local governance. The local Chinese in Nanyang have lived here for several generations and are familiar with the topography and human geography. And they are of the same kind as us, and they can be regarded as people who can be initially trusted, although they cannot be allowed to participate in the regular army, but they can be formed into a garrison force. When the time comes, select a group of junior officers from our troops to promote them to mid-level officers, and then let them serve as junior officers, so that we can also ensure that there is a balance between obedience to orders and flexibility of the troops. Chen Liyan said.

Wang Guorui then asked, "Who do you recommend to be in charge of this garrison?" ”

"Our deputy chief of staff of the Nanyang Military Region, You Zihui, can be in charge!" Chen Liyan said.

Soon, an officer with the rank of colonel on his shoulders walked in, and he turned out to be the commander of an infantry regiment and now came here as deputy chief of staff.

"You Zihui, the next step is to appoint you as the commander of the Lanfang Military Region under the Nanyang Military Region, and concurrently serve as the director of the National Defense Department of the Provisional Government of the Lanfang Republic, responsible for the formation of garrison forces. At present, the garrison can recruit two or three regiments in the first batch to try, but the establishment may as well be smaller, about 1,000 people per regiment. Their duty is to keep the local security and deal with the natives, so it doesn't matter if the number is smaller. In addition, the Lanfang Military Region Teaching Brigade was formed, and the Political Affairs Department was asked to select a group of outstanding officers to serve as instructors, and a cadre was selected to serve as the captain of the teaching brigade in the future. Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui agreed to form this garrison, because the garrison is familiar with the terrain, although the battle is not necessarily strong, but they are familiar with the human geography here, and can be a good link with the locals, which can also be used as a task to clear some indigenous people. However, this garrison is responsible for garrisoning, and the establishment may as well be less, after all, their task is not to go to the front-line battlefield to fight hard, but to deal with some natives in the rear. These garrisons will only be expanded in times of war.

And the teaching brigade in the back, it was because Wang Guorui realized that the number of officers in demand in the Nanyang Military Region was increasing. Not only the officers of the garrison at that time, but also as the war progressed, more and more people needed to be promoted. However, according to the regulations, if you are promoted, you must go to the military academy once, otherwise you cannot be officially promoted. However, if a large number of acting officers appear in the future, it will not be a problem. Therefore, the establishment of a mobile military academy was inevitable, so this teaching brigade came into being. In the future, this teaching brigade can train platoon commanders and squad leaders, so that low-level officers want to be promoted to the teaching brigade of the Nanyang Military Region for training, and also let this teaching brigade be responsible for training the officers of those garrison units, so that they can become officers as much as possible.

"Yes, I will definitely complete the task assigned to me by the Governor!" You Zihui said.

This You Zihui soon understood his mission, and he knew that he would become the commander of the first provincial military district, and although this Lanfang Republic is still nominally an independent republic now, it will definitely become the first provincial-level unit in Taiwan in the future. So now that he has been appointed as the commander of the Lanfang Military Region and the director of the Lanfang National Defense Department, in fact, the main position is still more important, after all, the so-called director of the Lanfang National Defense Department is just an empty head, just a nominal part-time job.

As for the Lanfang Military Region, it will be the first provincial military region in the future, and it will be a model for the first provincial military region, and it will serve as an important reference for Taiwan as a provincial military region in the future. Therefore, the task is still very important, as long as it is done well, then the status will still be not small.

"Okay, promote you You Zihui to the rank of colonel, serve as the deputy chief of staff of the Nanyang Military Region, and the commander of the Lanfang Military Region, as well as the director of the defense department of the Lanfang Republic." Wang Guorui said.

"Thank you Lord Governor for your cultivation, I will definitely work hard, and then I will die for the Lord Governor!" You Zihui said.

You Zihui soon went back to prepare for the task of recruiting garrison troops, and now he has been promoted, not only has his position been promoted to the division commander level, but also can obtain the rank of colonel, then he has become the highest military rank in the Taiwan army. Of course, a military-level establishment may be established in the near future, so he is still a second-echelon officer, and he can be regarded as a person with a lot of real power in Taiwan's army.
