Chapter 1231 The possibility of war

Tan Juren had not seriously considered the issue of military defense before, but after Roger said this, he realized that the strength of the local garrison was still a bit weak, and it was unrealistic to protect the entire Star Island. Moreover, the fortifications built on the island were almost

They are all concentrated near the ports in the south of the island. The defense measures in the north of the island basically rely on infrequent patrols. If someone really plans to take action against Star Island, then the uninhabited land in the north of the island is indeed an excellent place to start.

Target.

"If...I mean if," Tan Juren emphasized his starting point: "There are foreign militants infiltrating from the Johor Strait in the north of the island, can we come up with any effective defense methods? If these people want to mix up

If we get close enough, can we detect them in time?"

Roger smiled bitterly and said: "You may not believe it, but at this time, the advantage of having few local people has become apparent. As long as there are new faces nearby, they can basically be discovered at the first time. As for the arrest operation, that's it.

Depending on the number of opponents found, we have corresponding action plans."

Not everyone can get into the immigrant villages built by Haihan in the colony. First of all, most of these immigrants have obtained Haihan nationality and have a certain understanding of Haihan's various systems. Even if they are not familiar with each other,

They are familiar with each other, but outsiders who want to blend into this group will be quickly exposed because of their unfamiliarity with the Haihan social system. The sparse local population will naturally make strangers more likely to be noticed, and trying to blend into the village to inquire about information will only lead to

Falling into a trap.

Tan Juren was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then understood what Roger meant. If this place was a busy port like Sanya, it would be much easier to arrange for a few spies to sneak in. Although Sanya has various counter-espionage measures

It is considered very effective, but there are still spies from various countries who continue to sneak in under various identities. However, there are very few foreign merchant ships and civilian ships that usually dock at Star Island, and sailors and crews are also restricted in their scope of activities, so they have no chance.

Sneaking in. Those who want to do this kind of thing can only choose the northern part of Star Island where Haihan cannot guard against, but the risk of exposure from there is not much lower than infiltrating from the front.

Tan Juren continued to ask: "Then if... the situation is more serious, for example, a large group of armed personnel lands from the north and launches a direct attack, can we prevent it?"

After hearing this question, Roger had a subtle expression on his face: "You... aren't you afraid?"

"I'm afraid I won't come here!" Tan Juren's tone was very firm. He naturally considered the risks of coming here before going south. After all, the geographical location of this place is very important. It is one of the necessary waterways connecting the two oceans. For this place

Haihan's family must not be the only ones who are interested. The possibility of war breaking out is an objective reality. However, he believes that this risk is worth taking. After all, those who have been promoted quickly in recent years are basically those who have accumulated military exploits.

He was quickly promoted, and this was the purpose of his coming to Nanhai.

Roger was noncommittal about his statement and nodded: "That's the best. But you can rest assured that with the strength of Johor, even the whole country cannot arm ten thousand people. There are only a few who can be sent to Star Island in batches by ship."

Two to three thousand people can break through the sky. With this kind of manpower, it is impossible to break through the island's defenses."

Tan Juren said: "Be lenient if you anticipate the enemy. Didn't you say before that the British may be secretly selling weapons to Johor to help them arm their army. Will this bring greater military pressure to us?"

Roger shook his head and said: "The amount of arms that the British can sell to Johor will not be too large, because Europe is still in a mess, and these European countries do not have excess arms to transport to the Far East on the other side of the world for sale. In this

Under the premise, the weapons and ammunition they can provide to Johor will not be very abundant, and the musketeers trained in Johor will not have many opportunities to practice live ammunition. You have also practiced rifles, so you should understand the importance of live ammunition training."

Live-fire training is of course very important. Not to mention novices who have just started to touch guns, even veterans of the Haihan Army must use regular live-fire training to maintain proficiency in combat skills. Live-fire training during preparations for war is even more essential.

link. As for elites in the military, such as snipers, they use a large amount of ammunition to acquire shooting skills. Although Tan Juren is not a soldier, he still has this basic common sense.

With Johor's current conditions, high-end weapons can only rely on foreign supplies, which will inevitably make it difficult for the number of advanced arms and combat skill proficiency to reach a qualified level - at least in Haihan's eyes, it is definitely unqualified.

Without a big advantage in terms of military strength, Roger believed that even if Johor had some troops equipped with muskets and artillery, it would be difficult to cause real trouble to the Haihan Army on the frontal battlefield.

"It's a pity that no one was caught. Otherwise, after a trial, we might know when they plan to launch the attack!" When Tan Juren said this, he also hammered his fist angrily. Although this kind of reconnaissance and infiltration will not create any trouble for Haihan.

What a practical trouble, but having flies flying around is not a pleasant thing after all. Especially at this time, the emergency military situation will obviously affect Tan Juren's work arrangements at hand.

"Although this test was broken by us, no one can guarantee that they will stop here, so I plan to set up four to five outposts near the Strait of Johor to monitor the local area. In case anything happens,

We can also get early warning information as early as possible." Roger said his response strategy.

Before Tan Juren had time to express his position, Roger changed the subject and said, "We also need some cooperation from you in preparing for war."

Tan Juren sighed and said, "Then what can I do to help?"

"Manpower!" Roger made this request without any surprise: "I need some manpower to coordinate with the setting up of the outpost."

"Send people over to set up outposts?" Tan Juren asked subconsciously.

"That's not necessary. Building semi-permanent buildings is too easy to attract attention. If the other side notices, they will deliberately avoid the place where we set up the outpost, so I plan to let the soldiers set up tents for the time being." Roger explained: "I need some

The manpower is intended to be used to transport supplies to the outpost. If the supplies are sent there by ship, I am worried that if the other side arranges secret surveillance, our outpost will be discovered."

Haihan's base on the island is quite far away from the Johor Strait in the north. The nearest place is more than 30 miles, and the far place is about 50 miles. Setting up an outpost at such a distance naturally depends on the logistics support of the base.

.The troops stationed on the island are limited, so leaving the task of transporting supplies to the soldiers would be a waste of resources. The correct solution is to dispatch the people to complete the task.

This request is reasonable and reasonable, and Tan Juren can't find a reason to refute it. Moreover, what Roger means is that these manpower cannot be drawn from the civilian workers who are currently building port fortifications under the command of the military, but they must continue to be transferred from Tan Juren's base to Johor.

There is a large area of ​​virgin forest between the straits, and wild animals will inevitably appear in it. This job cannot be left to the old, weak, women and children.

"Then do what you want!" Tan Juren responded somewhat feebly. In the face of foreign enemies, of course, at this time, we can no longer argue with Roger about personnel allocation, but should take countermeasures as soon as possible to eliminate hidden dangers. Although Tan Juren did not

He is not afraid of a local war breaking out, but if these measures can effectively reduce his own risks, then he has no reason to oppose Roger's arrangements.

After the two people roughly agreed on the response strategy, they immediately put it into practice. Roger transferred five squads from the army, formed five squads into squad units, and deployed them to the north near the coastline of the Strait of Johor. These deployment points were all

Roger had studied it in advance, and it was considered an ideal landing point. Although it was impossible to monitor the entire Strait of Johor, blocking a few key areas to monitor the opponent's movements should be considered the most effective response strategy at present.

Dozens of Tan Juren's migrant workers were removed at a one-to-one ratio to assist the soldiers in transporting supplies to deployment points. After that, they had to deliver supplies to various outposts at a frequency of three to five days.

Supplies. In this way, there is still a lot of time to stay at the expansion site of the immigration village and continue working, and Tan Juren's resentment has been reduced a lot.

Although the clouds of war seem to have hung over Star Island, Tan Juren does not want this to affect the local infrastructure work. Even if the war does break out at some point in the future, it is impossible for foreign enemies to take away control of Star Island, at least

In his opinion, the trouble Johor can cause to Star Island will be very limited. Of course, this confidence also comes from Roger's calmness, and he can see that Roger seems to have been waiting for such an opportunity to use force.

Now that someone wants to come to your doorstep, Roger will naturally not miss the opportunity to perform easily.

Tan Juren adheres to his duties and does not make comments in areas he does not understand. Therefore, he did not express too many opinions on the military's arrangements after learning about the situation, because he knew very well that talking nonsense would easily expose his own shortcomings.

, the best solution is to leave professional matters to professional people. Of course, if you say it the other way around, if something goes wrong, you can avoid taking a lot of responsibility if you don't intervene.

In this unhurried pace, Han Zhengshan finally concluded his induction training. Although he himself felt that the process was not too smooth, he was not satisfied with the various militia-related training skills that were taught intensively in such a short period of time.

He wasn't proficient enough, but in the end Marcus allowed him to pass the test.

However, all the young men on the island have been assigned other tasks, and it is temporarily impossible to select suitable personnel to organize militia training, so Han Zhengshan does not have any pressure in this regard at the moment. He would like to find an opportunity to treat Marcus to a meal

He wanted to thank the other party for taking care of him during the training period, but there were no hotels or restaurants on the island for business. Even he had to go to the collective canteen to eat by himself, so he could only give up the idea for the time being and wait until he had the opportunity to talk about it later.

Putting on a brand new black uniform, fastening his armed belt, and patting the holster on his waist, Han Zhengshan let out a sigh of relief. His wandering journey since leaving Hangzhou finally came to an end here. From here

From the very beginning, Han Zhengshan completely bid farewell to his past identity. Whether he was a former headhunter in Hangzhou or a prisoner in a hard labor camp, it would no longer affect his future future and the security of Haihan State's Xingdao Colony.

Official Han Zhengshan will be his identity when facing the world from now on.

The office space assigned to Han Zhengshan was naturally far inferior to the Shengligang Police Station where he once worked as an intern. The Xingdao Police Station was just a small quadrangle courtyard. To the north was the main building where Han Zhengshan tried cases and processed documents, and to the east was the main building where Han Zhengshan tried cases and processed documents.

The wing room is a room for storing documents and police equipment, while the west wing room is divided into several cells for temporary detention of prisoners. Half of the reverse rooms on both sides of the south entrance are windows for receiving people and handling general affairs, while the other half is

It's the police dormitory.

There are currently only seven people under Han Zhengshan, all of whom were transferred from Sanya. However, two of them had been employed for more than half a year before coming here, so it is not as if all eight of them are novices. Of course, people like Han Zhengshan

Having had the experience of being a head catcher, no one within the Police Department would regard him as a newbie. Otherwise, it would not be his turn to be a rookie who is just debuting as the Sheriff of Star Island Colony.

Since Xingdao has always implemented a strict military management system before this, and the population is small, and the composition is very simple: soldiers and immigrants, the public security situation here can be said to be quite good. It was so good that after Han Zhengshan took office, he and the military

Fang handed over the affairs, but there were no unsolved cases. Even though he had been in the government office for so many years before coming to Haihan, he had never seen or even heard of any county government office that could handle the affairs so cleanly.

.

For Han Zhengshan personally, this is naturally a good thing and saves countless troubles. However, in this way, he wants to handle some cases to establish his prestige in the early days of taking office, and to create three things to do when the new official takes office.

His reputation seems more troublesome. Moreover, he has only been with his boss Tan Juren for a short time, and he is still not sure about his boss's temperament. If people don't want to read such high-sounding superficial articles, it will be self-defeating.

Han Zhengshan thought about it again and again, and decided to take the initiative to visit Tan Juren first and ask him for instructions on the next work arrangements. If Tan Juren hopes that he can perform well after taking office, then he can arrange the means next to see if he can catch the immigrants.

A few typical examples stand out.

Han Zhengshan did not find Tan Juren at his official residence. After asking, he found out that his superior had gone to the resettlement village construction site to supervise the work. Han Zhengshan was ready to go there, but after thinking twice, he went back to the police station to call for help.

He took several of his subordinates with him and went to the immigration village in the name of patrol.
