Shi Diwen slowly walked to the huge map hanging on the wall, thinking about whether the current combat plan needed to be strengthened.
According to his previous agreement with Chen Yixin, the Donghai Region and the Northern Region will send troops at the same time to open battlefields in Shuntianfu in North China and Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions respectively.
Although the Fuguang area in the south is not included in their joint troop dispatch plan, if the situation develops to the point of war, the Ming Dynasty will definitely be able to mobilize all its troops to respond to the enemy's request for the battlefield. I believe that its counterparts in the south will not miss that easy opportunity.
Opportunity to expand territory.
In view of the strength gap between the two armies, the suspense of this battle is not the outcome, but whether Haihan can take this opportunity to cut off the Ming Dynasty from Dongfang.
As for whether that war would become a war that destroyed the Ming Dynasty, Shi Diwen did not have such great ambitions.
Even though Shi Diwen had great confidence in victory before, he didn't think that he could accomplish his victory in one battle and destroy the Ming Dynasty in just one round of war.
The depth of the Ming Dynasty's territory is too great, so it is still an insurmountable obstacle for the Haihan Army, which relies heavily on logistical supplies. Moreover, with the current strength of the Haihan Army, it is difficult to completely occupy the vast hinterland of the Ming Dynasty.
Standing side by side with him, Chen Yizhao, who was standing beside him, was a little surprised by Shi Diwen.
"They are mobilizing troops over the Ming Dynasty, and the operations of the special operations division in the South China Sea will probably be greatly affected by this."
After hearing the concerns expressed by Chen Yixin, Shi Diwen responded: "The voices from the South China Sea asking the executive committee for support are very loud, but in his opinion, there are some elements of performance. While they keep crying out, they continue to
Advancing the front is what they are good at!"
Shi Diwen knew whether Chen Yixin was worried about Qian Tiandun. After all, he and Qian Tiandun had a master-disciple relationship. If Ming could become the consul of the Northern Region and even enter the executive committee, it would also be closely related to Qian Tiandun's years of support.
big relationship.
Qian Tiandun's purpose in the Southeast China Sea was to use foreign troops. For this reason, he gave up the foundation of operating in the north for many years. But if Haihan and Ming Dynasty went to war, the resources would definitely be given priority to the battlefields in the mainland and the military in the South China Sea.
Actions will inevitably be affected.
Haihan's recent highly heated dispute over the wrong development direction, the main promoters behind it are several military leaders in the South China Sea. As fellow military leaders, Shi Diwen will not speak out against those wrong ideas.
Colleagues, but as the governor of the East China Sea Region, he is of course more willing to exert his efforts in the direction of the Ming Dynasty.
As soon as the Hangzhou assassination incident came out, it was a perfect reason to start a war, and the effect was a hundred times better than those propaganda tactics in the South China Sea. Shi Diwen advocated using military tactics to retaliate against the Ming Dynasty, and he quickly won the support of the Executive Committee
.
But he did not think that the military operations in the South China Sea would stop there. After all, there were almost no rivals there, and Spain, the only country with more combat effectiveness, had also been driven to the corner of the map.
Elite troops like special operations divisions have to deal with some unformed indigenous armed forces. Is it difficult to catch them? Facing an enemy of that level, Shi Diwen is convinced that they are fully capable of pushing all the way.
There should and is no need for the Executive Committee to give them special care.
Chen Yixin sighed and said, "Brother Qian, please wait a year or two in the north... He shouldn't be absent from such a major battle as the attack on the capital."
Only then did Shi Diwen understand where his heart was, and said with a smile: "Old Qian is such a free and easy person, do I think he would care about that? Besides, even if he did not participate in the battle to attack the capital, wouldn't his military exploits be very impressive?
His share is missing?"
After Chen Yixin mentioned this, Dangdong felt relieved a lot and responded with a smile: "Brother Qian used to say that success does not have to be his, success must be his, but that probably doesn't mean that!"
While Haihan is secretly preparing for war, other activities are still being arranged in full swing. Among them, the one that attracts the most attention from the outside world is the military exercise used by Haihan to demonstrate the capabilities of weapons.
The organization of that military exercise was naturally the responsibility of the Donghai Garrison, as the landowner. The exercise site was located at an abandoned station of a thousand households outside Yuhang County, west of Hangzhou.
Ming troops who defended Hangzhou were once stationed there, but the buildings were in disrepair and had long lost their former glory. After Haihan took over Yuhang, he felt that the place had little value for repairs, so he simply abandoned it.
And then a place will be selected as a military exercise venue. Firstly, it is because it is far away from populated areas, so the exercise will not disturb the people; secondly, the abandoned garrison there is actually a small fortress, which can be used as an attack target.
Demonstrate weaponry.
That military exercise was open to the public, and a temporary military restricted area was set up two miles outside the exercise ground. Only personnel from outside Haihan and invited foreign envoys could attend the exercise.
The number of foreign envoys invited that time was much larger than those who attended the previous arms sales conference. Almost all foreign envoys who came to Hangzhou to participate in the National Day celebration received invitation letters from Haihan.
The only exception is Yue Shizong, the Ming envoy who is still regarded as an "enemy figure".
Although Yue Shizong's travel ban has been lifted, and Haihan also allowed him to leave Hangzhou, he did not choose to stay in the east, not only to avoid returning to China at that time to take the blame, but also to try his best to mediate through diplomacy to prevent Haihan from making mistakes.
The Ming Dynasty used troops.
He soon discovered that his sense of existence seemed to have dropped to an almost transparent level. No matter which yamen he went to visit Haihan, he was refused admission. Those Haihan officials who had contact with him in the past, such as Ru Ming, also regarded him as
They are treated as strangers and will not be received at all.
Even when he visited envoys from other countries, he would still be rejected. Everyone mistakenly kept him at a distance, and it seemed that no Ren He was willing to get involved in the dispute between Ming Dynasty and Haihan.
Haihan's attitude of refusing to communicate made Yue Shizong even more anxious. Senior officials of the executive committee had previously expressed their attitude to him. If the matter could not be properly resolved, the two countries could resolve their differences on the battlefield.
And the so-called proper solution has put forward several harsh conditions that are basically unacceptable to the Ming Dynasty.
Yue Shizong realized that the relationship between the two countries had slipped to the brink of war, but the court was probably unaware of that risk. He had written several memorials in succession and ordered people to rush to the capital for 800 miles.
But even so, Ke Ke couldn't keep up with Hai Han's pace. Especially if Hai Han invited envoys from various countries to visit the military exercise, but Ming Dynasty did not invite them, this made Yue Shizong even more frightened.
