Chapter 258 Dilemma
Butler Fang's confession was sent to Wang Yi. Seeing that Butler Fang didn't know who the Dragon King was, it was not beyond his expectations. After all, Butler Fang was just a butler of the Shen family, and the Dragon King was active in Cambodia and Nanyue. To put it bluntly, it was just a local armed force built by fooling the people. In the past, let alone the Prince of Qing in the Qing court, even the Shen family would be disdainful of it. But if the Northeast Autonomous Region calmed down, the rapid development trend of moving forward.
The head always made the Qing court feel an irresistible sense of crisis. But they did not dare to challenge trouble in the Northeast. First, they had the lessons of Prince Gong Yi jumping off the building, and second, the Northeast was too close to Beijing. The Qing court was afraid that the Northeast would impulse and take over their nests. Therefore, the overseas territory of the Northeast naturally became the only choice. The latter was too far away from the five Southeast Asian provinces and Mozambique in Southeast Africa, while the former was in the south of Guangxi and not far from the southeast coast. It was quite convenient to control.
"Butler Fang said that in order to promote cooperation between the three parties, Prince Qing also made a special trip to Fuzhou. He met Hu Yunzan, the first counselor under the Dragon King, at the Shen family, and among them, the Shen family was just a submissive role. The real person responsible for the uprising was the Dragon King, and Prince Qing was responsible for providing funds and supplies. In addition, he also selected some private soldiers trained in the local area. These were the main people in the riots in Saigon." Zhao Minfeng stood in front of Wang Yi and introduced the situation.[]
Wang Yi took a sip of tea and said, "Continue."
"Shen Jiu presided over the riot in Saigon, in a sense, was beyond the expectations of the Shen family and even the other two. The original plan was to attract the insurance team from Cambodia Province to advance eastward by provoking the riots in South Vietnam. This would leave enough sports space for the Dragon King, and the possibility of success would increase greatly. However, because of Shen Jiu's excellent operation, if they had invested heavily in Saigon, there were only more than fifty soldiers in Tianhuan Hotel at that time, even if the firepower was outstanding, there might not be no possibility of encircling and annihilation."
"This is pretty good." Wang nodded.
"It's a pity that they not only lacked troops, but also changed generals in the last battle. They gave up Shen Jiu who formulated the entire Saigon plan, and activated Shen Chong, the direct descendant of the Shen family. Compared with the former, the latter is a playboy. Not to mention leading troops to fight, even a chicken has never killed one. It can be said that he has failed to succeed and has more than enough failure. Of course, this is also good news for us." Zhao Minfeng smiled. "It is unknown whether Prince Qing took the anger of the Shen family because he missed the opportunity. "
Wang Yi didn't care much about this, and looked up at Zhao Minfang and said, "Transfer the tiger away from the mountain! Are you saying that the Shen family is making such a big noise in Saigon, and is it trying to attract the troops of Cambodia from South Vietnam and create conditions for the Dragon King to reign in Cambodia?"
"Well, butler Fang really said that."
"Doesn't that mean... Yazhi is in danger in Cambodia?" Wang Yi's eyebrows stood up.
Of course, Zhao Minfeng knew who Shen Yazhi was. No one who stayed at the Northeast Intelligence Bureau did not know Shen Yazhi.
"Sir, should you ask the insurance team coming from Cambodia to return to the base immediately..." Gu Quan was also beside him, giving an idea.
Wang was a little moved after hearing this, but after many years of high positions, he knew that the more critical the moment, the more calm the more he had to be. So although he was anxious at this time, his emotions began to calm down. "Forget it, it's too late. Now he is in a hurry to go back, and he may have been hit by the Dragon King's plan to attack and aid. In the terrain of Cambodia, our troops have been adapted for a while, but they are still far behind compared to those natives. Moreover, in the wet rain forests of dense forests and gullies, our local troops have to be reduced by 40% to 50%, and the power of heavy weapons is even more unavailable."
Zhao Minfeng would not interrupt military affairs, so Wang started to think about countermeasures.
Han Xiujing knocked in with a folder and walked in with an anxious look on her face and said, "Report."
"explain."
"After receiving a call from Phnom Penh, all parts of Cambodia were attacked by unknown armed forces."
"What!?" Gu Quan and Zhao Minfeng said in surprise at the same time.
"Immediately order the Cambodian First Division to retract and defend the Phnom Penh area, protect the safety of important institutions, wait for reinforcements, and send airships to patrol the border between Cambodia and Siam. The navy enters the Gulf of Siam. Any ships are strictly prohibited from traveling with each other." Wang Yi responded in his heart and immediately issued an order.
"Sir, although the airship is sharp, our air force in the five Southeast Asian provinces is very weak, and the number of airships is seriously insufficient. If there is not enough army participation, the rebellion will be difficult to be completely eliminated. If it is delayed too long, the British and Siam will be ready to move. By then, it will be very unfavorable to us."
Wang Yi shook his head and said, "If we really fight a regular war, we are not afraid. But once they choose to fight guerrilla warfare, it will be very detrimental to us."
"Guerrilla warfare?" Gu Quan did not listen to the term, and Wang Yi explained it to him again.
"It's all my fault for dealing with the wrong response in Saigon that made the situation in South Vietnam lose control. If I could do better and be more responsible, sir, you don't have to transfer troops from Cambodia."
Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "Stop talking about these. The situation in the five Southeast Asian provinces is very tense now, which has exceeded my initial expectations. Because of Mozambique, at least three divisions of our military strength in the five Southeast Asian provinces have been sent there. Now when we are transferred back, it is impossible to relieve near-term thirst and cannot count on it. Now, the forces of the six divisions in the five provinces are not too much, but not too little. Local terms..."
Han Xiujing interrupted at this time: "According to the latest information conveyed by Miss Qianjia, Tsarist Russia began to train large-scale troops last year. Although we had gained a huge advantage on the battlefield last year because of the application of new weapons (biplanes), judging from the current meaning, the Tsarist Russians seemed to have begun to change their tactics, actively retreated westward, exchanged space for logistics, and at the same time extended our logistics. The tactics we used before to build military bases while fighting, occupy a place and consolidate a place were effective, but according to the latest information, the Tsarist Russians obviously had to turn the guns and prepare to use troops in Xinjiang and western Mongolia. In this way, the previous tactics would not work. Therefore, in order to cope with the new situation against Russia, the local government could not provide too many troops to the five Southeast Asian provinces."
"What should I do?"
Gu Quan and Zhao Minfeng did not know the local situation, so when they heard Han Xiujing's distracted, they were both shocked.
Wang Yi looked at the map and sighed in his heart. His previous judgment was so optimistic that he drew too much power from the five Southeast Asian provinces in order to develop Africa. Cambodia and Dongtai Province on the map were like two pieces of fat, attracting the attention of too many hungry wolves around.
