Chapter 1233: War Clouds

Tan Juren received a notice from Roger, hurriedly put down the matter in his hand, and hurried to the barracks to meet Roger. Although it is Roger's business to command the operation, Tan Juren, as the chief executive of the region, naturally has to personally intervene in such a major event.

"What's the situation now?" Tan Juren asked immediately after seeing Roger. Unlike Roger, who had been involved in battles before, he was not afraid of Johor as an opponent, but the tension of facing the outbreak of war was inevitable. This time, when he heard that he had caught a spy sent by Johor, he had a premonition that a conflict was about to break out.

"It's all recruited, this team is all spies of the Johor army, and the purpose of their infiltration into Star Island is to find out the deployment of our army. Roger replied solemnly: "But there are no senior officers in this team, and they can't provide more valuable information, and they don't know when the Johor top brass plans to do it." ”

"That's it?" Tan Juren didn't think that Roger sent someone to inform him to come over, just to explain such a few words. If Roger didn't get some key information, he could have sent a transcript of his confession to himself.

Roger withdrew his subordinates, and then he said the key point to Tan Juren: "According to the confession of the captive, it is indeed certain that the British East India Company is behind the scenes, and the information given to us by the Dutch should be credible." ”、

"Then what other tricks did the British have besides providing them with weapons?" Tan Juren calmed down when he heard the news, and before that, there was relevant news that the British might intervene in this matter, which was expected. But Roger made a point of mentioning it, and there must have been more to discover.

Roger replied: "The British have also sent soldiers into Johor to help them train new units that use firearms. ”

Tan Juren said: "This ...... Isn't it a surprise? Since the British have provided weapons, they will certainly provide follow-up services. ”

"You're right. Roger nodded, "But the British have sent too many men to Johor, and I have reason to suspect that they may want to intervene directly in the war at the right time." ”

"How many people did they send?" Hearing Roger say this, Tan Juren's curiosity also came up.

"At least five hundred people. This is the figure given by the captive. Roger gave a number that sounded exaggerated.

The first country to carry out comprehensive military cooperation with Haihan was Annan, and the main function of the military base established by Haihan on the Tushan Peninsula in Annam was to train new troops for the use of firearms for Annam. Feng Anan and Mu Xiabai, two senior Haihan generals, served as chief instructors at the Tushan base, and now many high-ranking officers in the Annan army have been apprentices led by the two of them. The military assistance provided by Haihan to Annan also laid a solid foundation for the two sides to form an alliance later.

However, given the close relationship between Haihan and Annam, the number of instructors sent to the Tushan base in the name of military observers was only a few dozen at most. Moreover, with Annan's national strength, there were only about 1,000 people in the early stage of the establishment of the new army, and the national strength of Johor is far inferior to that of Annan, and the scale of the troops that can be equipped with new weapons will only be smaller, so how can there be too many instructors?

"Five hundred? This is probably not military aid, but a direct garrison, right?" Although Tan Juren is not a military expert, after all, he is well-informed, and he can still immediately understand the connotation of what this kind of number means.

Roger nodded: "The British may not be willing to just act behind the scenes, and plan to operate it themselves." ”

"It's a lot of courage!" Tan Juren sighed: "If they do this, they are not afraid of getting into trouble?"

"If you haven't been beaten, how can you know that it hurts?" Roger had a hint of anticipation on his face, and he was not afraid of the Englishman's intentions, but aroused his interest.

In Roger's opinion, Johor's military strength is very limited, and it is not enough to cause too much trouble for Haihan, but if he can face to face with the British, Roger will be able to fight seriously. After all, he chose this place to garrison Xingdao, not because he planned to be the emperor of the Reclamation Legion here, but to find an opportunity to fight with foreign forces, and exchange his military exploits for higher status and power.
