Chapter 758: The Protectorate of the Han and Tang Dynasties
"Captain, this is guerrilla warfare. I understand. Now the people of Yu have stopped. If the enemy doesn't move, I will move." Wang Hua interjected.
Tactics such as sports stations and guerrilla warfare are the basis of military academy courses.
Wang Hua is the garrison commander of the Pioneer Regiment. However, the Pioneer Regiment has never had much standing army, and Wang Hua is only a battalion commander until now.
But he may be the most professional commander here.
"Captain, I will definitely lead a team out here. I always lead hunting teams everywhere. No one is more familiar with the terrain around here than me, and I always look back on the battles we have fought in the past few years.
Not a lot." said Xiang Yong, the old captain of the former hunting team.
This old man is already in his sixties. Apart from his dark and wrinkled face, he has strong muscles, broad shoulders, and a full beard. He looks like a powerful warrior.
Zhao Xu looked at him and said, "Then let Lao Zhang accompany you."
"Okay, Tuan Zhao, I'll help you keep an eye on this reckless man and make sure he doesn't mess around." Zhang Sen said with a smile.
"Humph, you Carpenter Zhang, do you know how to fight? I can take you out to gain some experience, but don't tell me what to do." Xiang Yong was also unforgiving.
Zhang Sen is the captain of the logging team, and he also came from the south of Hekou Town.
The two old men often quarrel when they meet, but in fact they have a very good relationship.
The two old men have high prestige in the pioneer group.
They all settled in the pioneer point, and not only that, they also brought a group of children and nephews from home.
There are currently 50,000 elite local soldiers in the central part of Canada. The pioneering regiment in the north is fully armed with nearly 100,000 people, but they are basically militiamen, and their combat effectiveness and heavy weapons are far behind those of the Japanese army.
To the south of the Yin Army, there were about 8,000 Garhua light cavalry, and most of these cavalry were new recruits.
Liu Qingnan originally brought them here for training.
What he originally wanted to deal with were the white armed immigrants.
Jiahua's new army is more than qualified for this task. The purpose of training was to let these new soldiers see blood, but they did not expect to encounter such an unexpected situation.
To be honest, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers is not as good as that of the Yin army.
Although the Yin army recruited 500,000 troops at once this time.
But the Great Empire has a profound foundation after all, and a large part of these conscripts are veterans.
They have all performed outstandingly on the European battlefield.
Liu Qingnan only made an objective assessment of the Yin Army after attacking Fort Winnipeg.
Thanks to the surprise attack and four times the numerical advantage, the Canadian Army also lost more than a thousand people, which shocked Liu Qingnan.
Just when Liu Qingnan and the pioneering group were preparing to launch a counterattack against the Yin army.
Xinjingcheng also received news that the pioneering group was attacked.
Dong Shuheng convened a meeting with the military and cabinet as soon as possible.
In the Ziguang Pavilion of the Summer Palace, everyone sat down, and the atmosphere in the room was as thick as the clouds before a thunderstorm outside.
"President, if reinforcements are sent from the mainland now, even the fastest Marine Brigade will not be able to catch up with the end of the Zhuzhou war." Yan Shikun said.
The chief of general staff, who had never led troops into battle, was as dedicated as ever.
He never went to fight while sick, but no one knew the Renaissance Army better than him.
This lean figure of Chief of General Staff Yan seems to contain inexhaustible strength.
The deployment of millions of troops of the Renaissance Army was all stored in his mind.
Dong Shuheng nodded: "We were a little careless before and lacked an overall view. To start a war with a giant empire like the Great Empire, the sun never sets, we must set our sights on the whole world. Obviously the people of the Great Empire have a higher level of structure than us.
, everywhere can be a battlefield, and they have achieved global projection of troops."
"When will our Renaissance Army be able to send its troops to any place in the world?" Dong Shuheng sighed.
For so many years, he devoted his main energy to building the Renaissance Army.
In a time of great strife, without a gun you can rely on, everything will be in vain.
There is no place for reason in the world at this time, and strong countries can openly rob weak countries.
Just as the Great Empire suffered great losses in the subcontinent this time, they began to step up their efforts to seize profits in Africa just like France.
Dong Shuheng just received the news that the people of the country had just changed to the Sudan of the Kingdom of Ali in Egypt.
The Egyptians had just made a fortune by providing military rations to the Chinese, and now they all vomited it out.
As the sovereign state of Egypt, the Ottoman Empire did not even protest.
Yan Shikun originally wanted to propose that Jiahua simply send troops to help Zhuzhou fight this battle.
But he held it back, Dong Shuheng generally did not allow the Fuxing Group to interfere with the development of Jiahua.
"I think we will send reinforcements to Jiahua. The situation is not that bad now. Liu Qingnan attacked the logistics supply base of the Yin Army and was able to hold them back for a while."
"Although the mainland will not send troops there, the garrison troops from Zhuzhou and Dongzhou can be sent there."
"In addition, the Beihai Navy was telegraphed to strengthen patrols on the west coast of the Zhudong area. Then two divisions from the Far East Military Region were dispatched to supplement the Zhuzhou and Dongzhou areas."
"The garrison troops in Zhuzhou and Dongzhou set off immediately after receiving the order. There is no need to wait for the arrival of reinforcements."
Dong Shuheng's strategy is called a progressive troop deployment strategy, which allows the front line to receive additional troops in the shortest possible time.
The old Han Si sitting under Yan Shikun continued what Dong Shuheng said: "If we follow the president's arrangement, we can add two divisions to the front line within ten days. I think with the cooperation of the pioneering regiment, we should be able to stop the Japanese people. There is really no need to do more.
Sending too many troops from home."
Old Hans has been staying in the staff department these years, helping the Renaissance Army improve the staff department.
He was naturalized as a Chinese from the beginning, and his family also moved to the mainland.
However, he usually keeps a low profile. As a white man, he is satisfied to be able to achieve his current position.
"Our main battlefield has always been in the subcontinent, and fighting there is more beneficial to us. But starting a war in Canada is obviously more beneficial to the Koreans."
"Everyone, I think we must make it clear to the pioneering team at this time that they only need to fight a defensive battle, and there is no need to rush to recover the lost settlements. We can rely on the more remote pioneering points to deal with the enemy.
."
"It's September now. In two months, the Japanese will have to withdraw their troops. I don't think the Koreans will brave the harsh winter to attack." Hans suggested.
Weapons have been updated rapidly in recent years, and the mode of warfare is also undergoing major changes.
Hans felt that he could no longer keep up with the trend.
He has been thinking about retirement recently.
Most of the younger generation of generals in the Renaissance Army have matured, and many of them can take up leading roles.
Peng Yulin, Wang Congzhi, Yang Bingchun, Gu Keli, Du Chaoqun, Wang Xiao, Lin Wei, Cai Shusen, Zhang Dabiao, Niu Jie... these people are all on their own.
The navy also has a large number of talents. The younger generation Bao Youzhi, Du Hang, and Zhang Qiang are all good naval generals. Especially Bao Youzhi and Du Hang have experienced the baptism of naval battles.
Veterans like Du Desheng can still continue to exert their remaining talents.
"Then according to what Chief of Staff Hans said, we will focus on defense and harassment in Zhuzhou and Dongzhou. Avoid the real and attack the weak." Dong Shuheng said.
Zuo Jigao saw that what the military people said was almost complete, so he added: "President, if this is the case, then there will definitely be insufficient winter supplies in Zhuzhou and Dongzhou this winter."
Everyone suddenly realized that they were only thinking about the war.
The settlements of the pioneering group are now either occupied by the Yin army, or have stopped production.
The land here was originally only able to produce for one season.
Originally we were able to be self-sufficient, but after all this hard work, we must have no supplies for the winter.
"Then send supplies there, we can't let the people on the front line starve and freeze.
We are now competing with the Chinese people on logistics," Dong Shuheng said.
Seeing Dong Shuheng nod, Zuo Jigao continued.
"President, the Zhuzhou and Dongzhou regions should also be unified. After being attacked by the Yin army this time, the local response was obviously too slow. What I mean is that a Protectorate should also be established here, and all the people of the Yin country will be
Canada Territory becomes the Province of Canada."
"We'd better arrange a unified leadership here."
Zuo Jigao has just visited Zhuzhou and Dongzhou for inspection. Except for the Zhuzhou, Dongzhou and Wenzhou areas on the western coast, the inland areas all exist in the name of pioneering groups.
Previously, this place was under the administration of the Far Eastern Province.
But now the territory has expanded to central Canada.
This total area covers several million square kilometers, almost as much as the current Western Region Protectorate.
Second only to the area of the Far North Province.
It's just that the total population here is less than one million, so it is indeed sparsely populated.
Dong Shuheng originally asked several state governments to take charge of corresponding development points in the central region.
Then these state capitals were under the direct jurisdiction of the central government, but now it seems that this management efficiency is too low.
Dong Shuheng saw that other people also agreed with Zuo Jigao's opinion. He pondered for a while and said: "Old Zuo is right. Now that the people of Yu have come to the door, we should give Zhu Dong region a formal title."
."
Dong Shuheng has never given this place a formal name. In fact, he has always had the idea of merging the north part into Jiahua.
He originally hoped that Canada could become a big country in the North Amelia region.
I wonder if Zuo Jigao and others saw his thoughts.
They seemed to have different opinions on Dong Shuheng's idea of recreating a great Chinese nation.
In their minds, it is okay to unite China and all Xia, but they do not want to create a Jiahua and antagonize the local things.
Dong Shuheng feels that if a nation has no opponents, it will continue to degenerate, lose its vitality, and lose the motivation and direction to move forward.
So he felt that he needed to support another big Chinese country and let his own people be their opponents.
Now that this issue was brought up, Dong Shuheng had to make a decision. He looked at everyone and said, "Let's call this Protectorate of Han and Tang Dynasties the Protectorate of Han and Tang Dynasties. But who should be appointed as the Chief Protector of this Protectorate?"
"
Dong Shuheng threw the question out again.
Today is a joint meeting of the Cabinet and the Military Department.
After Dong Shuheng's question came up, Yan Shikun immediately stood up and suggested: "I propose that Wang Xiao, commander of the Far East Military Region, serve as the general guardian. Since this place is currently in a state of war, he can be temporarily under political and military control."
The struggle for power and voice between the military and the government cannot be completely eliminated at any time.
As expected, just after Yan Shikun finished speaking, Zuo Jigao took over the conversation: "Commander Yan, there is no problem for Wang Xiao to lead the army in the Han and Tang Dynasties. He has been in charge of northern Xinjiang for these years, and he also took charge of the military in the Han and Tang Dynasties."
Next, Zuo Jigao changed the topic and you could see his hand stroking the goatee under his chin. This is his signature move when preparing to refute others during meetings.
It's like the starting position of a samurai before a competition.
"But after all, General Wang Xiao has no experience in governing. Now the Han and Tang Dynasties are in war, and stabilizing local order is no less important than fighting. I think the current Governor of Luzon, Hu Kuisheng, governs Luzon well. This
In the past few years, the Luzon Protectorate has stabilized the islands, the economy has developed rapidly, and the naturalization work of the islanders has also been done very well. Moreover, this person is proficient in military affairs and is fully qualified to serve as the Protector of the Han and Tang Dynasties."
"Zuo Mou has served as a governor and knows that the governance of the governorate is very different from that of the native provinces, especially the complex ethnic relations under the rule and the surrounding crises. This is a test for a governor.
All aspects are beyond the capabilities of a pure general."
What Zuo Jigao said was reasonable and well-founded, and many people agreed with him, especially members of the cabinet.
The civilian clique of the Fuxing Army has been formed. Although Dong Shuheng has always implemented the military-first policy.
However, peace has been established for a long time, and the rise of civilian officials seems to be a general trend. In political competitions, military generals are obviously inferior to civilian officials.
"Prime Minister Zuo, what you said makes sense, but the military knowledge Hu Kuansheng accumulated was probably accumulated when he originally commanded the Manchu army." Yan Shikun retorted immediately.
"Commander Yan, why bother mentioning old things again? In the past few years when the Luzon Islands have been stabilized, Hu Kuansheng will naturally come into contact with the army." Zuo Jigao pointedly pointed out that Yan Shikun was making excuses with history.
There are many high-ranking officials like Hu Kuansheng who came from the old bureaucracy. They have shown outstanding abilities in their work, no worse than the officials slowly trained by the Renaissance Army themselves.
Dong Shuheng frowned slightly.
Yan Shikun's words were a bit excessive and tasted like a personal attack.
It is very detrimental to the unity within the bureaucracy.
Dong Shuheng did not reject criticism among officials, and even tolerated them forming cliques.
But mutual attacks and criticism should only be limited to discussing the matter. If one's past is revealed, what is the difference between it and the party disputes of the old dynasty?
Dong Shuheng knocked on the table and said: "Now that the Luzon Protectorate has reached a stable stage, and the Far East is also our rear area, I think we might as well transfer both of them and let them coordinate with civil and military forces. We are in the Han and Tang Protectorate.
The team has been put together."
Dong Shuheng ended the argument between the two and sent them both over.
The original Protectorate should have been divided into civil and military departments.
Dong Shuheng finally made peace with the situation and let the matter go.
However, today Dong Shuheng mobilized all the people to hold this meeting, not just for the affairs of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
He also has a plan that needs to be solicited for everyone's opinions and ready to be implemented.
