"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!" In the main hall of the Xinhua King's Palace, the senior officials of the Government Council and the military congratulated Long Yufei one after another, and everyone's faces were beaming. Compared with the army, Xinhuaguo's top brass is undoubtedly more worried about the navy. After many battles, everyone was extremely convinced of the combat effectiveness of the Xinhua Army. Equipped with new rifles and artillery, the Xinhua Army is fully capable of ravaging the armies of Western countries.

However, in terms of the navy, the scale of the Spanish expeditionary fleet this time was amazing, which made many people sweat in their hearts. In addition, the Spaniards formed an alliance with the Dutch, and the decisive sea area was held in the northern part of the Java Sea, rather than the South China Sea, which was familiar to the Xinhua navy. This made many people a little worried that the Xinhua Navy would lose the war. If the navy fails, it will have to rely on the passive defense of the army. Even if the army can guarantee that Xinhua will not be destroyed, foreign trade will definitely suffer a huge blow. When the time comes, if Xinhuaguo wants to develop and grow, it will become unlikely! Fortunately, the performance of the Xinhua Navy did not disappoint everyone, and in the face of a powerful enemy, it still achieved the most victorious victory! And still a brilliant victory at a small cost!

"Everyone, rejoice and rejoice! The victory of the Navy is not only a happy event for me alone, but also a happy event for everyone and all the people of Xinhua Country! After the defeat of the Spanish expeditionary fleet, we achieved the final victory of the war. There is no suspense anymore! The Spanish Army and the Dutch Army, totaling more than 50,000 men, were all trapped in West Borneo. Just eat them all! Then, we have won this war completely! The whole of Nanyang will become our territory! Long Yufei said with some excitement. The combination of the Spanish Expeditionary Force and the Dutch-Indonesian colonial authorities was somewhat beyond his expectations. However, the facts show that even if these two losers are united, they are not the opponents of Xinhuaguo. On the contrary, it gave Xinhua a chance to solve them once and for all. After annihilating the Jose coalition entrenched in West Borneo, Xinhua will be able to easily bring the entire South Seas under its rule! When the time comes, the whole South Seas. With the exception of the Straits Settlements of the British, there would be no other force that could pose a threat to Xinhua. Of course, after this war, the British also understood the great strength of Xinhua. As long as it's not their brains caught in the door. They will not make provocative acts against Xinhuaguo. Xinhua will have enough time to develop and grow, and even establish a complete industrial system. The rise of Xinhua is unstoppable!

"Your Majesty, since the navy has won the victory, then it's time to look at us next! The army's 100,000 sons are ready for battle and ready to set out at any time to clear the enemy for His Majesty. Expand your territory! Chief of the General Staff Niu Meng said. There are 12 infantry brigades and 1 artillery brigade of the Xinhua Army. It's been ready for a long time! If it weren't for the fact that in order to ensure safety, the army would have been dispatched a long time ago!

"The Second Fleet has returned and will arrive in Manila in a few days! The army can get ready to board the ship first! After the Second Fleet returns, the Second Fleet will escort the army to West Borneo! This time, we will annihilate the Jose coalition army in one fell swoop, and completely let the Western world know that we are powerful! Let them weigh and weigh when they think about Nanyang East in the future, and see if they can withstand such losses! Long Yufei said in high spirits. The crushing defeat of the Spanish expeditionary fleet, coupled with the annihilation of more than 50,000 Dutch troops by the Xinhua State, will definitely cause turmoil throughout Europe! When the time comes, without complete preparations, they will not dare to go on another expedition to the South Seas!

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Niu Meng nodded. Although he was a little anxious and hoped to let the army board the ship now, Long Yufei insisted on waiting until the Second Fleet returned before setting off for the sake of stability, and he did not dare to disobey.

Long Yufei also had his own considerations, after all, although the Spanish expeditionary fleet was wiped out, in the South Seas, there was still the British Far East Fleet. Although the strength of the Far Eastern Fleet is definitely not an opponent of the Navy of the New Zealand. But if these British are determined to oppose Xinhua and attack the merchant ships transporting the army, then they will suffer heavy losses! No matter how good a merchant ship is, it is no match for warships. Although the soldiers of the army are powerful, at sea, they are only ravaged by the navy!

"After the return of the Second Fleet, the Third Fleet will also escort the captured Spanish warships back! The army can make a detailed plan for the expedition! Long Yufei reminded. The Jose-West coalition army has a total of more than 50,000 people in West Borneo, and if they are to be completely eliminated, the Xinhua Army must also invest in the main force. For this, a large number of merchant ships were needed to transport personnel, as well as weapons and equipment. In order to ensure the consumption of tens of thousands of people in the war, the pressure on logistics and supply will also be very great, and before that, it is best to be fully prepared, so as not to be in a hurry!

"Your Majesty, the General Staff has already drawn up a plan for the expedition! In the first batch, we will send the 1st, 2nd, 5th and heavy artillery brigades of the army to West Borneo! The second batch will have the 6th Brigade, the 7th Brigade, the 11th Brigade and the 12th Brigade to form the support force! Niu Meng said.

Long Yufei nodded, with the combat effectiveness of the Xinhua Army, a total of 7 infantry brigades and an artillery brigade were enough to deal with the Jose coalition army. And, with the exception of the 11th and 12th Brigades, the troops sent are all elite units. The elite troops, who have doubled in value, have a greater advantage in the face of the Jose coalition army. After the Xinhua Navy annihilated the Spanish expeditionary fleet, the defense of Luzon could no longer use so many troops, and it was just right to put these elite troops on the battlefield! As for the 11th and 12th brigades, albeit newly formed units. However, most of the soldiers in these two brigades are Chinese children from the Dutch Indonesian archipelago, and they have a common hatred for the Dutch Indonesian colonial authorities, and this time they will solve the Spaniards and Dutch in one fell swoop, and if they are not allowed to go to the battlefield, they will regret it for life. In addition, the subsequent occupation of the Dutch Indonesian archipelago also needed to be led by those who were familiar with the local situation. Therefore, this time in the list, there are only these two infantry brigades that have just been formed for a short time!

"Your Majesty, after we defeat the Jose coalition army, what should Lan Fangguo do?" Premier Li Decheng asked.

"Lan Fangguo has even been occupied by foreign devils, do they still have to exist?" Long Yufei said disdainfully.

"Your Majesty, that's what I said! However, the territory of Lanfang Country has not all fallen, and a large part of its northern territory is still in the hands of the people of Lanfang Kingdom! If we annex Lan Fang Kingdom, I'm afraid it will cause them to rebel! Li Decheng said with some concern.

"Your Excellency, you have been worried! Although the territory of Lan Fang has not completely fallen, the main force of their army has been wiped out by the Jose coalition army! The rest of the troops are basically just a rabble! If they dare to resist, then we don't mind using force! Chief of the General Staff Niu Meng said directly.

Long Yufei nodded, agreeing with Niu Meng's point of view. A large reason why the Chinese have been repeatedly bullied by Westerners and local natives is because the Chinese are not united. After the dispersion of power, the Chinese simply did not have enough ability to deal with Westerners and local natives, which gradually made the Chinese weaker. If you want to really rise, you have to integrate the Chinese in the entire Nanyang region, and then immigrate more people from China to Nanyang. Only after the number of Chinese living in Nanyang is not less than that of the aborigines, will the position of the Chinese in Nanyang be consolidated! There are hundreds of thousands of Chinese in Lanfangguo, and after obtaining these populations, the strength of Xinhuaguo will be further improved. Therefore, Xinhua Kingdom must annex Lanfang Kingdom!

"Necessary sacrifices are inevitable! If the people of Lan Fangguo are ignorant of current affairs, the front-line troops can take necessary measures! I believe that ordinary Chinese people in Lanfangguo are very happy to join Xinhuaguo! As for those with vested interests, ignore them at all! Kill all those who dare to resist! The reason is very simple! We can directly say that they colluded with foreigners! Long Yufei said indifferently. The rise of a country or even a nation is destined to shed blood and sacrifice. Not only to step on the corpse of other nationalities to move forward, but also to constantly clean up the scum among their own nation, only by constantly unifying ideas, everyone united, can we develop better and faster!

After the meeting, the Xinhua Army began its pre-war preparations. After hearing the news that the navy had won, the vast number of army officers and men were even more stimulated, and they were all eager to land on West Borneo as soon as possible and destroy the Jose coalition forces there!

The next day, Long Yufei received news from West Borneo that the British were trying to mediate the war. He ignored it, though. After defeating the Spanish expeditionary fleet, the Xinhua navy was already strong enough to protect the interests of Xinhua. The British want to make ghosts, that's absolutely impossible! Xinhuaguo will not let them succeed!

On June 29, the Second Fleet of the Xinhua Navy returned to Manila, and the 1st, 2nd, 5th and heavy artillery brigades of the Xinhua Army, which had already been preparing to leave, immediately took hundreds of merchant ships and advanced to West Borneo under the escort of the Second Fleet.
