c_t; For the Executive Committee, driving Shibazhi to abandon Penghu's nest was also one of the alternative plans, but when the military formulated the action plan, it must take the situation of Shibazhi defending Penghu as the main consideration, and all troop transfers and material preparations were based on the attack on Penghu. (In order to prevent Shibazhi from prematurely perceiving the situation of the Haihan army's pressure on the border, he also used many methods of concealment in the process of transporting personnel and materials to Fujian.)

But if you want to think differently and create external pressure on Shibazhi to drive it to abandon Penghu on its own initiative, then you must give up the previous approach and make Shibazhi realize that the enemy they are about to face has an irresistible and powerful strength. Fortunately, now that Shibazhi has already moved his mind to escape, the coalition side does not need to go to great lengths to proclaim force in the Taiwan Strait in advance, and only needs to think about how to add fuel to the fire of this kind of sprout.

Both of the generals leading the troops on the Fujian front believed that it would be more feasible to drive Shibazhi away from Penghu than to try to annihilate them under the current situation when preparations for war were not sufficient, and this opinion also directly affected the decision of the Executive Committee. Of course, the main reason is that if the coalition forces act according to the original plan, they may let Eighteen Zhi escape without loss, and this is not the result that the leaders of the two coalition forces want to see - even if they deliberately want to let Eighteen Zhi leave, they must be stripped of a layer of skin, so that it will be difficult for them to recover in the short term.

On 25 March, with the authorization of the Executive Committee, the Central Military Commission issued a new order for the transfer of troops, and the First Fleet of the Navy stationed in Sanya will soon set off for the Pearl River Estuary to rendezvous with the Second Fleet stationed at Zhennan Port, and then together they will sail to Fujian to participate in a large-scale joint military exercise codenamed "Strait Storm." The South China Sea Fleet stationed at Cam Ranh Port in Annam will return north to Sanya for maintenance and upgrades, and the officers of the fleet will also enter the Shengli Port Military Academy for short-term training during this period.

Of course, whether it is a military exercise or the maintenance and upgrading of ships, it is all just an excuse, and the discerning person certainly knows that such a large-scale military movement is not a proper action in peacetime. At present, Haihan has only four fleets in total, and after this transfer is completed, three of them will be concentrated in the Fuguang sea area, and this situation of deploying a large number of troops overseas only appeared when he intervened in the civil war in Annam. However, at that time, the strength of the Haihan militia was far less than now, and the distance from the base camp was much closer than now, so such a large-scale military mobilization would bring a lot of pressure to the transportation and supply of Haihan.

In addition to the navy, the army stationed on Hainan Island will also send two battalions of troops to Fujian, and after joining up with the garrisons in Fujian and Guangzhou, the size of the army units of the Haihan militia participating in the operation will also reach nearly 4,000 men, and they will be temporarily organized into a reinforced regiment. These include four infantry battalions, an artillery battalion, a logistics baggage battalion, and a communications company, reconnaissance company, medical company, and special guard company directly under the regimental headquarters. Yan Chujie, the number one commander of the military, will personally serve as the supreme commander and march together with the troops.

The total strength of the naval and land armies involved in the Fujian War was nearly 7,000, and it was also the largest military operation in the history of the Haihan Army. [There are almost all the books I want to read.,It's faster than the general station to be stable dìng a lot of updates.,There are no ads in the full text reads;.] The military expects that the operation will cost at least 500,000 yuan, but fortunately, this money does not need to be paid out of pocket, and Fujian has promised to bear this huge amount of war expenses. Of course, if the last eighteen Zhi choose to evacuate Penghu, then the war may not last long, and the actual cost may be lower than expected.

At this time, there was a small episode, and the Portuguese envoy, who was inexplicably nervous, made an appointment with Tao Donglai to ask whether the troop transfer was related to Portugal. The tension of the Portuguese was not without reason, and now the Haihan and the Ming government of Fuguang Province are getting closer and closer, and last year there were several troops sent to fight pirates for the Ming Dynasty, and one of the battles even involved the Dutch. The Portuguese stronghold in Haojingao is also their only port and trade gateway in Daming, although the Daming government has never said that it wants to take back this land, but the Haihan people may not have the idea of fighting here, after all, the actual control of the sea area of the Pearl River Estuary is now in the hands of the Haihan militia, if they really want to seize Haojingao, the Portuguese may be difficult to have the ability to resist.

Tao Donglai, who couldn't laugh or cry, had no choice but to reassure the Portuguese that what they feared would not happen, and that the military movement was not aimed at Portugal, nor would it launch any form of attack on Ho Jing O. In order to convince the Portuguese of this, Tao Donglai had to say that if Haihan really intended to seize Haojingao, he did not need to use so many troops - probably more than half of them were enough.

Tao Donglai's "well-founded" statement finally appeased the troubled Portuguese envoys, but fortunately, there was no need to repeat this kind of rhetoric to the Guangdong government, because the matter had already been handled by Marik and others in the Guangzhou office. Although the Haihan fleet would stop on Hong Kong Island for a short time to replenish, it would not sail into the mouth of the Pearl River, so it would not cause much tension for the Cantonese government.

April 1 is the annual celebration day of Haihan's landing at Victory Port, and this year is in its fifth year, which is a gratifying day for everyone who participated in the crossing operation. In the past five years, they have not only successfully established themselves in this time and space, but also smoothly achieved continuous expansion to the outside world. So far, Haihan has achieved its own production of food, energy, metals and other necessities, built a primary industrial system, and achieved primitive wealth accumulation through guò foreign trade.

With the strength of Haihan today, there is no need to have any big scruples to establish a country on Hainan Island, even if the Ming court will be angry about this, but there is no effective way to deal with the powerful Haihan, the Qiongzhou Strait is enough to stop the Ming army on the other side. Of course, the Guangdong government has long been aware of the situation on Hainan Island, but as long as the Haihan does not raise the flag to rebel for a day, everyone will continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb and pretend not to know.

And it is precisely because of the repeated tolerance of the Guangdong government that Haihan is not in a hurry to announce **. In any case, all parts of Hainan Island have begun to re-establish the ruling institutions according to the model planned by the Executive Committee, slowly erasing the influence of the Ming Dynasty, and the longer the time, the more obvious the effect. Moreover, if we do not turn against the Ming Dynasty, the raw materials and population of the mainland will continue to be imported into Hainan Island, and then sold back in the form of industrial products to earn profits.

In accordance with the practice of previous years, various forms of celebrations were held in various parts of the Haihan district, and the military parade was held in the port of Victory as always. The troops of the army and navy who are about to go out for the army and navy are all on display at the military parade, and the officers who fought in the South China Sea and Fujian last year have finally waited for the opportunity to be personally awarded by the leaders at this grand gathering that has attracted much attention. For the officers of the Haihan People's League, the sense of honor brought by the award ceremony at the anniversary celebration even exceeded the award itself, because it was only on this occasion that the vast majority of the winners had the opportunity to have face-to-face contact with the high-ranking heads of the executive committee. Of course, the chiefs did not forget to take advantage of this opportunity to give a good beating to the officers who were about to go on the expedition, so that they could embark on the journey with full fighting spirit.

On 2 April, the Navy, which had just received a number of military awards the day before, was departed from the port of Victory. In addition to more than a dozen combat ships, there was also a fleet of ships that loaded supplies and transported army units, totaling more than 40 ships. The fleet will first go to the port of Zhennan, where it will meet up with the local troops and then sail together to Fujian.

The "Blue Shark" frigate is an "expedition-class" warship that entered service just last year, and nearly half of the sailors on board are new recruits who served last year and have relatively little combat experience.

Soon after leaving Victory Harbor, the fleet turned eastward, and after the deck was free, a group of recruits surrounded the veteran and asked him to tell him about the naval battles in which he had participated.

"It's all in the past, there's nothing to show off!" The veteran who was surrounded refused to cooperate, waving his hand to signal everyone to disperse.

It wasn't until a recruit took out a cigarette roll and handed it to the veteran, and the veteran saw that it was a triangular pack of "Victory Fort" on the market, not the kind of free low-end goods supplied inside the white shell, so he finally relented: "Since you want to hear the story so much, then I will say two paragraph......s casually."

"Dot, dot, dot. At that moment, the interested sailor took out a match and lit a cigarette for the veteran.

The following will be re-edited later
