Chapter 2903

Yan Chujie's righteous statement undoubtedly refuted the validity of the self-demarcation of spheres of influence by several people yesterday. He was also reminding these people that no matter what their plans were, as long as they did not get the approval of the Executive Committee and the Ministry of National Defense

recognition, it will all be in vain after all.

Sure enough, several people present looked gloomy, obviously not satisfied with his statement. However, Yan Chujie held a high position and was here on behalf of the Executive Committee, so it was not convenient for them to get angry in front of him.

Yan Chujie saw everyone's reaction in his eyes, and then added: "The performance of the troops stationed in various places in the operation will be the basis for the executive committee to judge the merits and reward them in the future. Those who contribute more will gain more when the time comes. I want to get involved in this."

If you’re a fish, then don’t blame yourself for the executive committee’s reward.”

Roger snorted and said: "Don't worry, Lao Yan. When it comes to fighting, I will work harder than anyone else. When the meeting here is over, I will assemble the troops when I go back and start preparing for the war. But in the place that I will conquer by then, the executive committee will

Please don’t give it to someone else if you will!”

Roger's words obviously meant something, but Feng Annan couldn't bear to hear it, and immediately refuted: "How much space can you occupy with the few troops in Xingdao? I understand, you must be planning to split the army into small groups.

If they are sent to various places to set up boundary markers, then even if the enclosure is successful, it will exclude us people, right?"

Seeing that the two men were about to quarrel again, Yan Chujie quickly stopped them: "Before taking action, the troops stationed in various places must submit a specific action plan to the Ministry of National Defense to clarify the objectives of the action. It can only be implemented after approval. If anyone is still thinking

It’s a weird way to take advantage of the situation, so it’s best to give up the idea as soon as possible.”

Only Xiao Liang was the calmest among the people present. After all, his territory was separated from the two families in dispute by the entire South China Sea, and those two families were eyeing the Indian Ocean to the west. They would have interests with the Manila authorities in the future.

Disputes are unlikely.

The only area where disputes are likely to arise in the future is thousands of miles south of the Philippine Islands, but there is a huge Borneo between that area and Xingdao and Annan. Xiao Liang believes that the tentacles of those two families will still be extended for at least two or three years.

Don't come this far.

Therefore, although the two families were quarreling endlessly, Xiao Liang could sit on the sidelines and not worry at all that their dispute would affect his own interests.

Although Feng Annan and Luo Jie were not convinced by each other, with Yan Chujie present, they could only restrain their tempers and obey the arrangements.

After some discussion, everyone finally roughly determined the direction of the next war preparations. Yan Chujie will return to Sanya after the meeting to report the meeting to the Executive Committee, and at the same time promote the issuance of special war bonds in the country. And the military industry

The department's production will also be adjusted accordingly to increase the supply of ammunition to the troops stationed in the South China Sea.

In the direction of Manila, Xiao Lianghui will restart the campaign as soon as possible in the southern part of the Philippine Islands, especially the traditional Spanish sphere of influence centered on Mindanao.

This round of clearance operations will no longer be aimed at destroying Spanish colonial settlements, but at long-term occupation so as not to give the colonial authorities a chance to come back.

Doing so will inevitably require the use of a large number of armed forces, and the dispersed garrison construction projects and logistical supplies required for garrisoning will also greatly increase military expenditures, which will cause considerable economic pressure on the Manila authorities.

However, Xiao Liang showed full confidence in this, claiming that the Fourth Army Division and the Fourth Detachment of the South China Sea Fleet stationed in Luzon have enough capabilities to complete these operations. Of course, if they can get better financial and armament support, then

The time to achieve action goals can even be compressed to within one or two years.

Xiao Liang's statement was unsurprisingly interpreted by others as the Manila authorities were trying to prevent outsiders from intervening and not wanting troops from other regions to enter the Philippine Islands to disrupt the situation.

This defensive mentality is of course understandable. The Manila authorities are located in a corner of Luzon. The local social structure is very different from that of traditional Han areas. Military and political affairs have always been self-contained. Even the appointment of officials is more localized.

How can we easily allow troops from other regions to garrison?

The focus of the Executive Committee has always been on the East Asian continent. The original purpose of taking Manila was only to eliminate the hidden danger of the Spanish colonial authorities. As long as the Manila authorities under Qiu Yuan did not divide the territory and split the territory, they would

In the case of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Executive Committee did not pay too much attention to some xenophobic practices there.

Roger expressed the hope that Qian Tiandun's troops would go south as soon as possible and cooperate with the Xingdao garrison. When Feng Annan criticized him earlier, he said that Xingdao had too few troops. This is actually true. The local population is limited and it is difficult to maintain a large-scale

The garrison. Although there is a designation of the 9th Army Division, the troops are actually not fully staffed. Even if the troops of the foreign corps are added, the strength is only about the same as that of the special operations division that went south after downsizing.

Because of this, Roger knew that his future performance would be limited by his military strength, so he took the initiative to invite Qian Tiandun to cooperate during his visit the day before yesterday.

Roger saw clearly that Qian Tiandun was an outsider, and the support behind him mainly came from the Executive Committee and the Ministry of National Defense, but he had no real base in the South China Sea. Qian Tiandun wanted to make a name for himself in the South China Sea.

, must be inseparable from the support of local forces. Feng Annan invited him to settle in Cam Ranh Port, of course, he also had the intention of using the tiger skin as a banner.

Roger got the news too late, so that by the time he figured out Qian Tiandun's purpose of going south, Feng Annan had already taken the first step. Otherwise, if the special forces division could be allowed to directly enter Star Island, then the west of the Strait of Malacca would be directly occupied by

The two families were carving it up nearby, so there would be no chance for Feng Annan to intervene.

Of course, there is no regret in selling medicine, so Roger's current remedial measure is to try to persuade the special forces to go south before the operation officially starts, so as to weaken the interest relationship between Qian Tiandun and Feng Annan as much as possible, so that Xingdao can

Instead, it became the main pillar and garrison base of the special operations division in the South China Sea.

Of course, it is not easy to do this. Feng Annan has a large group of second-generation children, which means that there are many influential people in the country who will support him. The southern nobles of Annan, represented by Ruan Wenxing, are also his allies.

.The conditions that these people can provide to the special warfare division may not be affordable by Xingdao.

But Xingdao also has its own unique advantages. It is geographically closer to the Indian Ocean, which Qian Tiandun is interested in, and because it is far away from Sanya and will hardly be subject to strict supervision, the degree of freedom of the Xingdao garrison will be much higher than in other places. Former

If someone hadn't gone to Sanya to complain, maybe the mercenary system of the Foreign Legion could still continue to this day.

Roger believed that such a "free" environment might be exactly what Qian Tiandun needed to achieve his strategic goals. After all, how could a senior general like him with outstanding military exploits and fame be willing to be subject to the so-called "correct procedures" of the Ministry of Defense?

Red tape restrictions.
