However, no matter how terrible the negotiations have to continue. On the issue of Formosa, Anita still refused to make any concessions. In fact, when it comes to such a point, neither side has any possibility of concessions. On August 24, the Dutch formally rejected the request of the Hu Ben Army.

Xiong Wencan was expelled from Formosa by Dutch soldiers.

The war is about to break out.

...

Fujian, Quanzhou Prefecture, the location of the Second Expeditionary Corps of the Tiger Ben Army.

Zhang Zhun was sitting in front of the map of Taiwan Island, carefully thinking about the route to attack Taiwan Island. In his previous life, Zhang Zhun was not qualified to think about such a route. But now, he has sufficient reason and enough time to arrange all this perfectly.

"Sir, Sun Chuanting is here."

A staff officer came in and reported in a low voice.

"please!"

Zhang Zhun nodded and stood up by the way.

Soon, Sun Chuanting came in.

"Governor!"

Sun Chuanting bowed and greeted him.

"Please sit."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said gently.

Sun Chuanting sat down respectfully, subconsciously glanced at Zhang Zhun, and then looked at the map of Dongfan Island behind Zhang Zhun. He knew that Zhang Zhun was thinking about the relevant strategies for attacking Dongfan Island. Recovering Dongfan Island was indeed a great achievement. Unfortunately, this matter was not within his jurisdiction. He came to Zhang Zhun to march into Southeast Asia.

The Suzaku Legion of the Hu Ben Army swept all the way, and has cleared the old forces in Guangdong and other places. It is currently marching towards Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places. Guangzhou Prefecture, Nanning Prefecture and other places have all fallen into the control of the Hu Ben Army. The preparations for marching to the Southeast Peninsula will be carried out from now on. Sun Chuanting hopes that he can make all preparations in about two years, and then lead the army south to expand territory.

After careful consideration, Zhang Zhun finally decided to ask Sun Chuanting to form a corps of 5,000 people. All materials and equipment were provided by the Hu Ben Army. The recruitment of personnel was also the Hu Ben Army. As for weapons, of course, they were ordinary swords. The Southeast Peninsula was basically tropical rainforest areas, with humid climate and abundant rainfall. There were great restrictions on the use of muskets. Even if the Hu Ben Gun was equipped, the effect was not very good.

Of course, it is not a single Hu Ben gun that does not give Sun Chuanting. A powerful weapon like the Hu Ben gun has a great advantage in sniping or long-distance shooting as long as it is used in relatively flat areas. Finally, Zhang Zhun allocated a Hu Ben gun to Sun Chuanting a battalion to be used as the main force of the legion.

In fact, everyone knows that it is not difficult to capture the Southeast Peninsula with Sun Chuanting's ability. The ultimate goal of the Hu Ben Army is the Mughal Dynasty, which is today's India. At present, the Western powers are stepping up their infiltration into the Mughal Dynasty and want to control it. If the Hu Ben Army goes too late, there will be nothing left.

The biggest trouble in the battle in Southeast Asia is the natural geographical environment. The geographical environment here is very different from that in the Central Plains. In the past, many troops of the Central Plains dynasty would be in pain by the so-called miasma. In fact, as long as you overcome the tropical rainforests in Southeast Asia and reach the edge of the Mughal dynasty, you will win.

From a scientific point of view, logistics supply was indeed quite difficult. At that time, there were basically no roads passing by carriages in Southeast Asia, and all had to rely on walking. This situation did not improve significantly until World War II. During World War II, the Japanese army conquered Southeast Asia at a huge price.

"Occupy coastal ports as soon as possible."

“Try to use sea supplies.”

Zhang Zhun said cautiously.

The Hu Ben Army fought in Southeast Asia and was most convenient for ocean supply. Compared with land supply, the amount of ocean supply transport is much larger. The food and food brought by a merchant fleet can be used for several months. As long as several merchant fleets are arranged to transport in turn, there will be no major problems in logistics.

In the future, the Mughal dynasty was also the most reliable supply at sea. The situation of the Mughal dynasty was actually quite complicated. There was no unified state institution there, only dozens of local kings of all sizes. These local kings all had their own army. The number was more, the number was tens of thousands, and the number was less than a few hundred. However, the number was also quite large.

When it comes to maritime logistics transportation, this involves the issue of damn sea communication. Without convenient and fast maritime communication, the contact between ships on the sea is always a dead end. Without communication, even if two merchant ships pass by, as long as they are outside the observation range of Qianlijing, they may not be able to detect the other party's existence.

It seems that after Xu Zhengming created the ray mercury, it is necessary to set up several new research rooms to study radios. In fact, the principle of simple radios is quite simple. Even if long-distance radios cannot be put into use, communication within two or three hundred kilometers must be solved through hard work. It is indeed inconvenient to rely solely on carrier pigeons.

"Please rest assured, Governor General, after arriving in Nanning Mansion, I will definitely form the army as soon as possible and prepare for the southern expedition as soon as possible."

Sun Chuanting said calmly.

He had just surrendered and really wanted to make achievements so that he could have a place in the new empire in the future. Since Zhang Zhun gave him such an opportunity, he had to seize it.

"This is for you."

Zhang Zhun took out a handwritten copy and handed it to Sun Chuanting.

"This is……"

Sun Chuanting took it and asked in confusion.

"This is some precautions for combat in tropical rainforests. After you study it yourself, you must remember it in your heart and teach it to the officers and soldiers below in the future. Everyone should try to know it as much as possible. This is their life guarantee. Anyone who cherishes his life must not be careless. If he does not die in the hands of the enemy, but in the hands of the harsh environment, it will be unworthy."

"This book is currently being printed, and it is estimated that it will be completed in half a year. At that time, your army can have one copy. Every officer and soldier must study it repeatedly and learn about the combat matters of the tropical rainforest in detail. Otherwise, they will be joking about their own lives."

Zhang Zhun said solemnly.

In order to help Sun Chuanting adapt to the climate of the Southeast Peninsula smoothly, Zhang Zhun wrote a book called "The Complete Collection of Tropical Rainforests" based on his knowledge in his previous life, and wrote it by the staff. The complete collection of battles he handed over to Sun Chuanting was this one. It describes the various dangers of tropical rainforests in detail and solutions.

In later generations, during the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, the troops accumulated experience in combat in some tropical rainforest areas. In addition, Zhang Zhun had many training in tropical rainforest areas and had considerable experience in combat in tropical rainforest areas. Combined with the two, this thick combat collection was created.

There is no doubt that such a book is definitely a priceless treasure for Sun Chuanting. It is also a life-saving amulet for the officers and soldiers of the Southern Expedition Legion in the future. As long as they understand the characteristics and dangers of the tropical rainforest, they can achieve twice the result with half the effort and achieve greater victory when fighting.

"Go!"

"I'll wait for you to return triumphantly."

Zhang Zhun stood up and said expectantly.

"I'm saying goodbye!"

Sun Chuanting hurriedly stood up and said gratefully.

After the salute, Sun Chuanting turned around and took big strides.

"This Sun Chuanting."

Zhang Zhun nodded with satisfaction.

Putting aside personal morality, Sun Chuanting is definitely a person who does big things. He has ambitions and desires, and is just one of the best candidates for external development. If you want to give Sun Chuanting a nickname, it is "Viol Snake". Since he was sent out, it can be foreseeable that the Southeast Peninsula can be included in the territory of the new empire.

However, it is not enough to make Sun Chuanting's army quickly and safely fight to the vicinity of the Mughal Dynasty, with ambition and desire, and having the "Rainforest War" is not enough. The most important thing is to solve the problem of logistics transportation. The key is to defeat the Dutch!
