Chapter 350: Top Secret Information (3)
"Lord Wang, now that we have understood the plan, it is easy for us to deduce the battle plan of the Spaniards. According to my speculation, their plan is actually very simple, on the one hand, they use their fleet to sneak attack our Java Sea Fleet, and then completely annihilate the Java Sea Fleet, and they also have absolute sea supremacy in the Strait of Malacca and the Java Sea. On the other hand, maybe the Japanese will deliberately cooperate with them to create a tense atmosphere, and the Japanese may carry out blackmail against Taiwan or some other factor in politics. Then the Japanese will deliberately send a combined fleet to the southeast coast of our country to cruise, so that we can completely contain our Taiwan Strait Fleet and prevent our Taiwan Strait Fleet from supporting the South China Sea. ”
"In this way, our remaining fleet, the Banda Sea Fleet, is dominated by light ships and cannot fight with battleships and cruisers, so on the whole, our navy has been pinned, so they have absolute sea supremacy. Once they have control over the sea, they can also land on our Borneo from any point, so that we can only passively meet it. At that time, the Taiwan Strait Fleet could not support it, and Japan was eyeing the north, so we naturally did not dare to mobilize the Taiwan Strait Fleet. The Spaniards' army and logistical supplies could be unimpeded in the Java Sea. Even if they have the right to control the sea, they can cut off the maritime connection between Taiwan and Nanyang, so that we will inevitably let Nanyang fall into a situation of fighting alone. When the time comes, our reinforcements will not be able to support Nanyang, and the soldiers of Nanyang will fight hard. At that time, all countries will exert pressure together, and we will inevitably be forced to abandon Nanyang. This is also my preliminary speculation of the rough plan, if there is a mistake, please ask Lord Wang to correct it. ”
Hearing the words of Hu Wei, chief of the General Staff, everyone couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Because according to this plan, once Taiwan loses its sea supremacy, then the reinforcements of Taiwan itself will not be able to support Nanyang. In addition, Japan's-stirring stick deliberately contained Taiwan's Taiwan Strait Fleet, so that the Taiwan Strait Fleet could not support them. Of course, if Taiwan's Taiwan Strait Fleet goes to support the South Seas, then who knows if Japan will take the opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob it? At that time, if Japan took the opportunity to mess around in Keelung Port. I'm afraid I really can't take care of it.
This plan was very insidious, and the initial one was to attack the Java Sea Fleet and then make Taiwan lose its sea supremacy. And this means that the connection between Taiwan and Nanyang is cut off, and it is impossible to support Nanyang. And the Spanish army had access to a steady stream of supplies. However, Taiwan's army in Nanyang will have one less bullet and artillery shell, and it will not be able to get supplies. Nanyang does not have its own industrial base, and when the time comes, with the combat methods of the Taiwan army, the bullets and artillery shells will soon run out, and at that time, Taiwan's East and West Borneo Military Region will lose bullets and artillery shells. That is to say, it means that you will face the possibility of running out of ammunition and food.
At that time, if all countries jointly exert pressure, then Taiwan will really face the result of abandoning Nanyang. And this is also the plan formulated by various countries, and then forcing Taiwan to give up the South Seas, is a plan that looks very good, and it is almost seamless.
However, seamless plans also need to be kept secret. If it can't be kept secret, then I'm afraid everything is made in vain. Now that Wang Guorui and the others have obtained the corresponding information, the staff can quickly analyze the plans of Spain and other countries. It's like programming. If you program it from start to finish, it must be very difficult. However, if you reverse the reasoning from the results, it is easy to get the results. This is also known as hindsight, a pig-like statement beforehand.
If Wang Guorui did not get the corresponding information, then of course he would not have failed at that time, although he could not mobilize the Taiwan Strait Fleet to the past. However, he can build a large number of warships again, and this can also solve the result of this loss of sea supremacy. Moreover, it will take at least a month to build a fleet of warships, and if the war drags on for a month, it will be very disadvantageous to oneself. By that time the army of the Spaniards had already landed. The enemy's army is wreaking havoc in its own territory, which must be a very detrimental result to its own side. Therefore, if Wang Guorui hadn't gotten the information of this Akashi Genjiro in advance, then I am afraid that even if there is a red police base, it will be a big loss. And this Akashi Genjiro really didn't arrange it in vain. So soon I got a piece of information.
And Akashi Genjiro will be arranged by Emperor Meiji as a support commander for intelligence with the Dutch, which means that Wang Guorui actually indirectly has the source of intelligence of the Spaniards, so this situation is not expected by the Spaniards at all. They did not expect at all that the intelligence officials on the Japanese side with whom they cooperated would actually be traitors of the Taiwanese, and they would definitely be played to death by Taiwan. However, Wang Guorui also knows that the hole card of Akashi Motojiro cannot be abused casually. It should only be used when it is most critical. Once abused, there is a great risk of exposure, and once it is exposed, Wang Guorui will definitely be more heartbroken than the loss of 100,000 troops. After all, Akashi Genjiro is the future Japanese prime minister arranged by Wang Guorui, and if the loss is exposed like this, it will really be a huge loss.
"Well, now that we have roughly guessed the plans of Spain and other countries, it is also very accurate and predictable. And the next thing we have to do is to counteract according to their plan and try to clean them up in turn, so that we can all get a huge advantage. And, next, we have to get what we need in this war. If we can't get what we need, after all, we've been a thing next to us for a long time! Wang Guorui said.
Hu Wei immediately replied: "Okay, our General Staff will make a plan immediately, and then discuss the situation on how to defeat those Spaniards." The Spaniards were not fearful, and they pinned all their hopes on this sneak attack, and then gained a huge advantage to coerce us. In fact, the Spaniards did not intend to really start a war with us, they just wanted to use this time to create a situation, and then they could land after seizing sea supremacy. In this way, through the coordination of the countries and the pressure on us, they can also force us to withdraw from the South Seas, so that they can also get half of Borneo. But they didn't realize that we had already seen through their plans, and we were already calculating them. As long as we calculate them in reverse, they will not be able to support them at all. ”
Wang Guorui knew very well that the next plan could be formulated based on the information he had already obtained. And now that the corresponding information has been obtained, the Spaniards' plans will also fail. At that time, the Spaniards were destined to suffer a big loss, and even steal chickens and rice.
And the Spaniards are very aware of the difference in strength between themselves and Taiwan. In fact, the reason why they dared to fight with Taiwan was because the British were behind them, and there were Dutch colonies to supply nearby, and even the Japanese contained Taiwan and provided intelligence, so that the Spaniards had the idea of daring to go to war with Taiwan. But at this time, the Spaniards were actually half-hearted, and they didn't really want to fight to the death with Taiwan. If there is a desperate war with Taiwan, although Taiwan will not be able to eliminate them, they will also face decline.
In fact, the Spaniards pinned the core of this plan on their ability to seize sea supremacy, and then the Japanese contained Taiwan's Taiwan Strait Fleet, so that Taiwan lost its sea supremacy, and Nanyang became a lone army. When the time comes, they can take advantage of the opportunity to have a huge advantage to fight, and then they can also ensure that the government can coerce Taiwan. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of Chinese in Nanyang, including more than 100,000 troops, and if these troops are lost in Nanyang, it is inevitable for Taiwan to ensure the safety of the Chinese and the army, otherwise the gains will definitely outweigh the losses.
At that time, Taiwan will inevitably withdraw from the South Seas to save the lives of soldiers and civilians. Spain can also get half of Borneo, and the Netherlands can also get back half of Borneo. And this plan, they actually want to force Taiwan to withdraw from Nanyang, not to fight a desperate battle with Taiwan, so their hearts are not resolute in fighting the war. And the core of this plan lies in secrecy, if it is not able to keep it secret, then once Taiwan knows what they think, most of their plan will have failed. And they didn't know that Wang Guorui buried a super traitor in the Japanese staff headquarters, which was also a foreshadowing for their failure.
"Since the Spaniards want to use the seven-point military method against us, then we will also do the other way around and use the seven-point military three-point political method against them!" Wang Guorui said.
"Lord Wang, what does this mean?" Everyone hurriedly asked.
Everyone doesn't know Wang Guorui's thoughts, the Spaniards actually want to use political coercion to force Taiwan to comply, but how does Wang Guorui want to deal with it? Wang Guorui's idea is related to the future direction of Taiwan, that is, whether this battle will be fought or not, and what kind of battle will be fought, this is also a very huge problem.
"Since the Spaniards are looking for their own death, then don't blame us for doing something to him! We just don't have an excuse to go to Spain, and since they have sent them their own excuses, why should we refuse? Wang Guorui said. (To be continued.) )
