Red Alert 1895 Chapter 215

"My lord Wang, now we have just over 10,000 marines here, and our domestic army is gradually arriving in batches. However, this place is so big, we will be the number one in Taiwan when the time comes. The second, fifth, sixth and fourth divisions are just a drop in the bucket. At that time, we will have more than 70,000 people at most, and it will be impossible to defend the whole of Indonesia. Such a large country can completely give our troops Diluted, we may be attacked by the natives at that time. And at that time, once the troops are diluted to the vast land, then we will have no firearms. At that time, the natives can take advantage of the familiar terrain and then sneak attack Us. At that time, guerrilla warfare was something that could trouble us!" Chen Liyan said.

Wang Guorui frowned, because it was true at the moment. Indonesia has millions of square kilometers of land, and here are mainly natives. At that time, it is impossible to defend such a vast land with more than 70,000 troops. At that time, once the troops are dispersed, I am afraid that the dispersed troops will be very easy to be attacked by the concentrated forces of the natives. At that time, the losses will be great.

Wang Guorui can very clearly estimate that the current situation of the Taiwan army in Indonesia is similar to that of the Japanese army that invaded China, and even a little more tragic than that of the Japanese army that invaded China. Although the Japanese invaders had hundreds of thousands of powerful troops back then, once the war deepened, the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops were diluted to the vast land of China at that time, which averaged for each county. There are only a few people in each township, and there is even a small team guarding a regiment county.

So in the later period of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army was stretched. Their limited forces are simply unable to suppress large areas of occupied land. On the other hand, the squadron is different. The squadron makes extensive use of guerrilla warfare and sparrow warfare to kill and injure the enemy. And even formed many armed forces teams behind enemy lines, and then organized some militias to attack the Japanese army. Even if on average, every county town kills one Japanese soldier every half a month, and the whole country can kill almost 70,000 Japanese soldiers in a year, and if you persist, it will be able to drag down the Japanese army. Back then, Japan's population was smaller than China's, and it was impossible for them to be China's opponent if they really wanted to engage in the so-called "killing contest". The Chinese have found the right way. Use guerrilla warfare to consume them, exhausting their human resources and various materials. In the end, Japan had to drink poison to quench its thirst and launch the Pacific War.

But the situation in Taiwan now is similar to that of the Japanese army back then, and the army has not arrived yet. Even after the army arrives, there will be more than 70,000 people. Such a small army was scattered over the vastness of Indonesia. Not even enough to get between the teeth. Once the troops are dispersed at that time, I am afraid that it will be easy to be attacked by the concentrated forces of the aborigines. In this way, the aborigines can form a local force advantage, and it is impossible for the small amount of troops on their own side to get a chance to counterattack. Even if the indigenous weapons are backward by then, there will be too many people!

The past is the teacher of the future. Since Wang Guorui knew the experience and lessons of the Japanese, he would naturally not be able to make this mistake, so he immediately planned to solve the problem of insufficient troops. If there are not enough troops, then I am afraid that once the army is diluted to the whole of Indonesia. That is not defensive enough at all, and it is easy to be disgraced by the enemy's guerrilla warfare. Since the Japanese have suffered, they must have lessons learned. Otherwise, Wang Guorui knew that he would suffer again.

"Then how did the Dutch solve this problem?" Wang Guorui asked. He wanted to know how the Dutch, who were also invaders, solved this problem. After all, the Dutch did not have enough troops.

Chen Liyan immediately said: "The way the Dutch can do is not to stimulate the natives. First, use a strong deterrent to deter them, and then use a stick to give a sweet date to appease them. But the Dutch have a choice. That is to unite with the aborigines to exclude us Chinese. But the number of Chinese is small, their character is cowardly, and they have a lot of wealth. The Dutch also provoke the relationship between the aboriginals and the Chinese, and then unite with the aboriginals to bully the Chinese. In this way, the Dutch and the aborigines have The so-called common enemy can also temporarily negotiate peace."

"So the Dutch chose to cooperate with the aborigines to rob the wealth of the Chinese without destroying the way of life and social organization of the aborigines, so that they could all come together with the aborigines. But we can't, we have no relationship with the aborigines. The common enemy, we cannot bully us Chinese together with the aborigines. There is another reason, we will choose to immigrate next, once we immigrate in large numbers from the country, I am afraid that we will face the destruction of the social organization structure of the aborigines, In this way, they will definitely hate us very much. At that time, it is impossible for us to make peace with the natives, and we must be the enemies of the natives.”

After all, the Dutch at least regard Indonesia as a colony, as a place to plunder the economy, not as their own territory. But in the future, Wang Guorui will regard Taiwan as his own territory, so naturally he cannot be the same as Indonesia. For one's own territory and colonies, there should be two attitudes.

"Then what do you mean?" Wang Guorui asked.

"Set up a garrison, and form a group of garrison troops from our Chinese in Nanyang. With these garrison troops, it can basically guarantee the perfection of our local governance. The local Chinese in Nanyang have lived here for several generations and are familiar with it. Topography, human geography. And they are of the same language and race as us, so they can be regarded as people who can be initially trusted. Although they cannot be allowed to participate in regular troops, they can be formed into a garrison. At that time, a group of people will be selected from our troops Low-level officers are promoted to their mid-level officers, and then let them serve as low-level officers, so as to ensure a balance between obeying orders and flexibility of the troops." Chen Liyan said.

Wang Guorui then asked: "Who do you recommend to be in charge of this garrison?"

"You Zihui, deputy chief of staff of our Nanyang Military Region, can take charge!" Chen Liyan said.

Soon, an officer with the rank of colonel on his shoulders walked in, and he was originally the commander of an infantry regiment, but now he came here as the deputy chief of staff.

"You Zihui, I will appoint you as the commander of the Lanfang Military Region under the Nanyang Military Region, and concurrently serve as the Director of National Defense of the Provisional Government of the Lanfang Republic, responsible for forming the garrison. The garrison can currently recruit two to three regiments for the first batch. Try it, but the organization might as well be smaller, about 1,000 people per regiment is enough. Their duty is to guard the local security and deal with the natives, so it doesn't matter if the organization is smaller. And set up the Lanfang Military Region Teaching Brigade, so that The Political Department selects a group of excellent officers to serve as teachers, and selects a cadre to serve as the captain of the teaching brigade. This teaching brigade is temporarily positioned at the deputy division level, and I will take the post of honorary captain of the teaching brigade." Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui agreed to form the garrison, because the garrison is familiar with the terrain. Although the battle is not necessarily strong, they are familiar with the human geography here, and they can serve as a good link to the local people. This can also be used to clear some indigenous people. human task. However, this garrison is in charge of defense, so it might as well be less organized. After all, their task is not to go to the front line to fight desperately, but to deal with some natives in the rear. These garrison troops will only be expanded during wartime.

As for the teaching brigade at the back, it was because Wang Guorui realized that the number of officers needed in the Nanyang Military Region was increasing. Not only the officers of the garrison at that time, but also as the war progresses, more and more people need to be promoted. However, according to the regulations, he must enter the military academy for promotion, otherwise he cannot be formally promoted. However, if a large number of acting officers appear in the future, it will not be a problem. Therefore, it is inevitable to establish a mobile military academy, so this teaching brigade came into being. In the future, this teaching brigade can train platoon leaders and squad leaders, so that low-level officers who want to be promoted can directly train in the teaching brigade of the Nanyang Military Region, and let this teaching brigade be responsible for training the officers of the garrison troops, so that they can be promoted as soon as possible. to become an officer.

"Yes, I will definitely complete the task assigned to me by the Governor!" You Zihui said.

This You Zihui soon understood his mission. He knew that he would become the commander of the first provincial military region~www.mtlnovel.com~ Although the Lanfang Republic is still an independent republic in name, it will definitely be in the future. It will be the first provincial unit in Taiwan. So now he has been appointed as the commander of the Lanfang Military Region and the director of the Lanfang Defense Department. In fact, the main position is still the previous one because it is more important. After all, the so-called Lanfang Defense Director is just an empty post, just a part-time job in name. .

As for the Lanfang Military Region, it will be the first provincial military region in the future, and will be a model for the first provincial military region. It will serve as an important reference for Taiwan in the future. So the task is still very important, as long as it is done well, the status will still be quite high.

"Okay, I'll promote you, You Zihui, to the rank of colonel, deputy chief of staff of the Nanyang Military Region, commander of the Lanfang Military Region, and director of the National Defense Department of the Lanfang Republic." Wang Guorui said.

"Thank you, Governor, for your cultivation. I will definitely work hard, and then I will do my best for the Governor!" You Zihui said.

You Zihui went back soon to prepare for the task of recruiting the garrison, and now he has been promoted. Not only has his position been promoted to the rank of division commander, but he can also be awarded the rank of colonel, so he will become the Taiwanese army It is currently the highest rank in the army. Of course, a military-level organization may be established in the near future, so he will still be an officer of the second echelon, and he can be regarded as a person with considerable power in the Taiwan army.
