Chapter 400 Dissatisfaction

In this scene, the South Vietnamese river boats could not even hide, let alone cause trouble for the Haihan Army positions on the shore. The onlookers were stunned to witness the process of the South Vietnamese "Navy" being sunk.

People like Luo Shengdong, who are relatively expert in water warfare, have already been drenched in cold sweat - if this tactic is used to deal with the warships of Yazhou Water Village near the coast, the result will be ordinary.

No two.

Based on Luo Shengdong's understanding of the Haihan militia, he could tell from the pictures that the artillery installed on the shore was not the large-caliber coastal defense artillery deployed by the Haihan people on the port fort, but just ordinary army artillery. However,

As long as a few more of these small-caliber artillery are deployed, they can block a river with a width of about 50 to 60 feet. This is undoubtedly much easier than sending ships to block the river.

The next scene has arrived outside the city of Hue, and this section was shot by a drone from a high altitude. The people on the scene are only the size of ants. The densely packed South Vietnamese army positions outside the city make the spectators feel dizzy.

Everyone began to secretly speculate on how the Haihan man's magic was cultivated, and he was actually able to fly into the sky to observe the enemy's position and deployment. People with a little knowledge of military affairs were able to make a judgment at this time. The South Vietnamese army had even lost their property to the Haihan militia.

After seeing everything, how can we win this battle?

Everyone secretly expected to see a large-scale field battle next, but the next shot was accompanied by a loud noise, and a corner of the wall of Hue City collapsed like a landslide, followed by engineers and civilians carrying wooden rafts.

The pontoon bridge was quickly set up, and the militiamen followed closely and rushed into the city through the gap. But as for how the city wall collapsed, the screen did not explain this detail.

Of course, this is content that has been deliberately cut out. This video display is mainly to promote force and show how the Haihan militia relies on its strong strength to crush its opponents. However, some specific combat links, such as blasting city walls, have certain

Content with a certain technical content needs to remain confidential at this stage.

The next scene was even more shocking. Everyone witnessed with their own eyes how the tower of Hue Imperial City was turned into rubble after a burst of dust and smoke rose. When the dust cleared, the Royal Palace of South Vietnam could be seen opposite the Hai Han position.

and the panicked defenders in the city.

"It only took less than an hour for our army to capture the Imperial City of Hue that day. More than 300 officials from the South Vietnamese puppet court, starting from the culprit Nguyen Phuc Yuen, were captured. During the entire battle of Hue, our army killed more than 3,000 enemies.

We captured nearly 4,000 people, seized various weapons, and countless armors." Yan Chujie solemnly promoted to the spectators the glorious achievements of the Haihan Militia in this battle. Of course, how fast the Haihan Militia was after the war

Time has emptied the city of Hue of all property, and Yan Chujie would definitely not say it on such an occasion.

"Finally, I want to explain to you that this war was not started by us. The reason why we participated in the war was only to join the war as an ally at the invitation of the Le Dynasty of Annan. The purpose was to wipe out the South Vietnamese rebels and restore stability and unity to Annan. Of course,

The most important purpose is to protect Haihan's interests in Annan from the southern rebels. You can remember my words, wherever there are Haihan interests in the world, it is the activities of our Haihan militia.

Scope! This not only applies to us at Haihan, but also applies to friends who sincerely cooperate with us at Haihan!"

As Yan Chujie's words fell, the picture on the wall stopped and the lights in the room turned on again. Although the edited documentary was only a few minutes long, the viewers present felt like they were having a big dream.

, the Haihan Militia sent out the navy in January, the army went out in February, and the entire army returned triumphantly in April. Most of the fighting process during this period was reflected in the short film just now. The viewers felt as if they had gone on an expedition with the army and witnessed it with their own eyes.

Almost all key nodes in this battle that lasted for several months.

How the Haihan people record these battlefield scenes and then project them on the wall is no longer the focus of the viewers. Anyway, the Haihan people know so many spells, so it is not surprising that there is such an additional one. Everyone

The issues of concern are basically focused on the astonishing combat effectiveness of the Haihan Militia.

According to Yan Chujie's previous introduction, the size of the Haihan Militia's expedition was less than 3,000. However, with such a small force, it was possible to cross the sea and attack the capital of a political power. This is quite terrifying. Of course, Yan Chujie did not mention it on purpose.

Troops stationed in the Annan area of ​​the Hai Han Militia also participated in this battle, and there was more or less participation and cooperation from the North Vietnamese Army in the later period. In the perception of onlookers, the Hai Han Militia had single-handedly fought in less than three

In just one month, the South Vietnamese regime, which governed thousands of miles of land, was wiped out. This kind of fighting power, let alone the militia, could not be achieved even if ten times the Ming Dynasty's official army was drawn out - think about the Ming Dynasty's crusade against Annan, and the Ming Dynasty officials were defeated on that side.

The army numbered in the tens of thousands, but in the end they could not get any benefits from the battlefield, so they had to pinch their noses and admit Annan's independence.

What the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers could not do, the Haihan militia group located in a corner of Sanya did it in just a few months. It seems that the actual combat effectiveness of both sides can be glimpsed from this. Some people were originally against Haihan

People who have some doubts about their strength have basically turned from strangers to fans after watching this documentary, and have become supporters of the theory that the Haihan Militia is invincible. For businessmen who have in-depth cooperation with Haihan, the strength of the Haihan Militia is

The stronger they are, the more solid and secure they will feel. As for who the Haihan Militia will target next time, it doesn't matter. They just need to know that their interests can be protected by the Haihan Militia.

.

Some people feel happy after watching it, but others feel heartbroken after watching it. For example, Enrique, the Portuguese envoy to Sanya, was obviously not happy after watching this documentary. Although Portugal and Haihan have now reached a trade partnership

relations, and has even launched substantial cooperation on the very sensitive project of arms trade, but from Enrique's perspective, he does not want to see this group rise so quickly in the South China Sea.

As an old maritime power, Portugal was the first major colonial power to enter the Far East. However, it has been in decline in recent years. Its territory has been eroded bit by bit by the Dutch who came up from behind. They have worked hard to establish trade relations with the Ming Dynasty. Now they are also

The Spaniards and the Dutch will take away a big piece of it. Losing to these two competitors is fine. After all, their size is there. If you can't beat them, you can't beat them, and the loss is not unfair. However, Haihan, a rising star,

It has only been two years since it appeared on Qiongzhou Island, and it has already firmly possessed the power to destroy the country. In terms of the strength of the armed forces in the South China Sea alone, Enrique has to admit that Haihan is already superior to Portugal.

When the Macau Council agreed to terminate cooperation with the South Vietnamese court and withdraw from South Vietnam, in addition to taking into account Hai Han's threat of force, there were actually some small thoughts in it that were waiting to see Hai Han's misfortune. The Council believed that Hai Han would be in trouble.

With the size of the Han militia, even if the weapons and equipment are absolutely superior, it will be difficult to defeat the South Vietnamese regime with thousands of miles of territory and hundreds of thousands of subjects in a short period of time. And if these two families fall into a long tug-of-war, it will be very difficult for Portugal who is watching.

It is undoubtedly beneficial.

However, it turned out that the council's original judgment was not accurate. The Haihan people did not fall into the long tug-of-war with South Vietnam. In just three months, the most powerful city in Indochina, which was praised by the Portuguese, fell to the sea.

Under the gunfire of the Han militia, Enrique was very disappointed with the result. He originally thought that the war would last at least until the second half of the year. In early February, he even sent a secret letter back to Macau, asking the council to step up efforts.

Monitor Wanshan Port and Lijiazhuang to see if the Haihan people show signs of withdrawing from the local garrison. With the size of the Haihan militia, if the war in South Vietnam does not go well, they will probably only be able to mobilize troops from near Guangzhou.

Supplemented.

After seeing the battle process of the Haihan Minzu in the documentary, Enrique naturally regarded it as the imaginary enemy of his own army and conducted a simple tactical deduction in his mind. Then he discovered to his dismay that if he wanted to fight against the Haihan Minzu,

For a group battle, one's own army would probably have to reach four or five times its strength, and all Portugal's current personnel in the Far East combined might not be able to assemble such a large number.

What makes Enrique even more desperate is that the gap between the two sides is not only reflected in the strength of troops and weapon performance, but also in the preparations before the war, the logistics support during the war, the various material and spiritual rewards after the war, and the Haihan people's

The means seemed to be comprehensively superior to those of his Western counterparts that he knew. These matters that troubled every senior commander during the war were handled in an orderly manner by the Haihan people, and they have been operating with extremely high efficiency. And Portugal

The speed of military response in the Far East has always been frighteningly slow. Last year, the Council passed a resolution to withdraw from the South Vietnam region and sent a ship to Goa to inform the local governor. However, half a year later, Goa's reply has still not been received.

If they were not sent back, if a full-scale war really broke out, the Portuguese in Macau would have been killed by the Haihan militia.

What puzzles Enrique the most is that the Haihan people can actually overlook the enemy's military deployment from the air. The role of this terrible magic in war can simply be described as invincible. When their own troops perform every move on the battlefield,

When every move he makes will be seen by the enemy, Enrique really can't imagine any other way to defeat his opponent who is not weaker than him. In Enrique's opinion, the magic mastered by the Haihan people

This is the main reason why they dare to cross the sea to fight in a strange environment. After all, with this support, the Haihan Militia is basically in an invincible position.

Of course, without asking, Enrique knew that this magical skill was definitely not for sale by the Haihan people. Although the Haihan people have now opened up the purchase rights of matchlock guns and small-caliber artillery to the Portuguese, they still have a large number of weapons.

and equipment are not included in the sale list, such as the breech-loading rifles, short-barreled shotguns, high-power telescopes, etc. currently equipped by the Haihan militia, Enrique has been coveting them for a long time. And now this prohibited sale list

There is obviously a new content to be added to the list. The thought of this makes Enrique feel resentful and hard to calm down - Why do these Haihan people get all the good things? Why do these atheists get the blessings from God?

Favor? The Portuguese, who are true believers in God, now actually want to serve a bunch of atheists. This is simply ridiculous.

"Mr. Enrique, do you have anything to say?" Yan Chujie, who returned to the wine table, quickly noticed Enrique's ugly expression, but he just refused to open which pot and pretended not to know.

Go ask Enrique how he feels.

"The combat effectiveness of your army is really amazing!" Enrique commented with a bitter tone: "I have to admit that in the current South China Sea, it is difficult to find an army that can compete with your army on the frontal battlefield.

A well-matched army."

Luo Shengdong, who was sitting next to him, was drinking from a glass. Hearing these words, he paused for a moment before drinking the wine as if nothing had happened. Regarding his comments on combat effectiveness, Luo Shengdong did not want to say anything more.

After all, the facts are right in front of him, and he still has to rely on the Haihan people for food, so it is better to pretend to be deaf and dumb on such a sensitive issue.

But he didn't want to take the initiative to say it, which didn't mean Enrique would let him go. After making his comments, Enrique dragged Luo Shengdong into the water: "General Luo, what do you think of this?"

Luo Shengdong was promoted to General just over a month ago. His new boss had only been in office for half a year when he was unfortunately "sacrificed" in battle due to the "South Sea Pirates' Attack on Yazhou". Of course, this kind of

The excuse was just to write an official document to deal with Qiongzhou Prefecture. Of course, the general who was unwilling to cooperate with Haihan after taking office did not die in the battle with the pirates, but was secretly captured and sent to Heitu across the sea.

Mining coal in Hong Kong and would spend the rest of his life there.

This is also the first official of the Ming Dynasty who has been "dealt with" in the true sense since Haihan took over Yazhou. The executive committee did not deliberately conceal it when doing this. The current magistrate, tongzhi, judge, and city defense

Thousands of military households and even people in Jinyiwei knew about this, but no one raised any objections - those who remained silent could receive a large amount of "office funds" from the executive committee every year, and those who wanted to

Those who jump out to express themselves to reduce their sense of existence will have the same fate as that unruly General, who will be sent to dig coal in overseas mines until they die.

Luo Shengdong knew the story of this incident best, because he and several of his own soldiers were responsible for arresting his immediate boss. Tao Donglai made it clear to him at the time and pulled out the nail.

The next general is you - even if it's not you, we will find a way to change the candidate to you. As for how to achieve such an effect, Luo Shengdong doesn't need to ask anymore. It's nothing more than another "pirate siege"

"It's just a trick.

Luo Shengdong paid 4,000 taels himself, the executive committee sponsored 4,000 taels, and his father-in-law Zhang Qing sponsored 2,000 taels. A total of 10,000 taels of silver were collected to open the joints. In addition, Luo Shengdong "fighted bravely.

"Killing the bandit leader and avenging the former general in one fell swoop." With his military exploits and abundant money, he finally got the coveted position of general. Not only that, but even a small amount of water stationed in Lingshui County, north of Tielugang.

The army was also assigned to his command as a supplement to battle losses.

When Luo Shengdong was still a chief executive, he longed to be a general one day, but once he actually sat in this position, he felt a little boring. Now from Tielugang in the east to Yingge in the west

In the sea, the entire coastline patrol in the south of Qiongzhou Island is basically controlled by the warships of the Haihan Militia. There were not many large ships in Yazhou Water Village, but now they are all helping the "Haihan Salt Company" to run transportation

, traveling back and forth between various ports on Qiongzhou Island day and night. Nowadays, the navy has become a part-time job, and the salt dealer has become a full-time job. Almost all those who are interested in continuing to join the army have joined the navy of the Haihan Militia, while the rest

I chose to work as a professional salt seller with Luo Shengdong. After all, the income in this industry is quite generous, far better than the days when I had to eat military rations.

Nowadays, Luo Shengdong only carries the title of "Admiral of the Ming Dynasty Navy". He rarely appears in Yazhou Water Village once a month. He lives in Shengli Port most of the time and is at the port dock every day.

He was drinking tea with his legs crossed and supervising the loading and shipping of migrant workers. As for his identity as a military attache, Luo Shengdong would only pick it up again when he needed to wear official uniforms.

Luo Shengdong is not stupid. Listening to the tone of Enrique's question, you know that he wants to deliberately create embarrassment between himself and Yan Chujie. If it were last year, Luo Shengdong might really feel embarrassed, but now many people

He had already looked past the matter. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "I have the same opinion as Mr. En. The Haihan Militia is well-trained, equipped with advanced equipment and has strict military discipline. It is really a blessing to the people of Yazhou!"

Luo Shengdong was flattering, but Enrique still refused to go around him and continued to ask: "General Luo, what the Haihan Militia is doing now seems to be related to the functions of the Ming Dynasty Navy led by you.

Is there any overlap? As an official of the imperial court, haven’t you ever worried about this?”

Luo Shengdong cursed in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged: "Mr. En's words are biased. The Haihan Militia is a civilian armed force approved by the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. It has the responsibility to protect the environment and the people.

, the more they do, the better, so what’s there to worry about?”

Yan Chujie smiled as he watched the two men's quarrel and did not interrupt to stop them.

Seeing that Enrique would continue to be stubborn, Luo Shengdong spoke first: "The Haihan Militia has become so powerful. It seems that Mr. En is very worried? Mr. Yan just said that as long as we are partners,

You can also get protection from the Haihan militia. It seems that you don’t really regard Haihan as a partner?"

Enrique's words were immediately suppressed when they came to his mouth. He quickly waved his hands and denied: "No, no, no, I have no such idea at all. God can testify that Haihan is our best partner..."
