Six hundred and sixtieth chapters southward development
The sea breeze in early winter is warm but has a hint of chill, which makes people love and hate it. Slowly, the wind rises on the sea, the sea is roaring, the wind is roaring, and from time to time, rows of huge waves are set off.
Another row rushed forward, rushing towards the rocks and everything that hindered his progress; finally, the waves were shattered by the solid bow of the ship, and the fragments of droplets still floated forward, splashing on it, making him shake.
I was so excited that the waves were still coming one after another, breaking and coming, and breaking again. Seeing the waves in the strong wind, the soldiers who were on the deck returned to the cabin one after another. Those who had been to the sea knew that if the sea broke,
Nu Lai is not recognized by his relatives. If he is accidentally knocked into the sea by the waves, there will be no explanation.
"Zhang Yanbo, if you don't come down quickly, do you really want to be the son-in-law of the Sea Dragon King?" Platoon leader Liu Zhaochen's voice sounded from the entrance to the hatch.
"Oh, here we come." Zhang Yanbo, who was looking around with a telescope, quickly threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and followed the platoon leader into the cabin.
This is an 8,000-ton troop carrier that can carry four to six thousand fully armed soldiers. This is also the first large-scale troop carrier designed by the Huaxia Government. Because of the protruding center of this troop carrier
The round belly looks very bulky, and everyone in the navy humorously calls it an "elephant". There are currently eight "elephants" protected by a fleet of one heavy cruiser, twelve destroyers and one aircraft carrier.
, heading south in a mighty manner.
"Stretching between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, the East Indies Islands are composed of 13,360 islands of various sizes. The islands are dotted together, forming a criss-crossing water channel. They occupy a very important strategic position in the world's maritime transportation pattern.
.The most famous among them are the Makassar Strait, the Lombok Strait and the Sunda Strait. These three straits are the chokepoints of the East Indies that connect the two oceans.
Our mission this time is to control this archipelago that can contain the throat. This is a very dangerous strategic location that must be in our hands." In the war room of the "Han Xin" aircraft carrier, Lieutenant General Zheng Xin, commander of the South China Sea Fleet, and
A group of generals explained the mission.
"Sir, do you mean that our mission this time is to occupy Java Island?" Ding Feng, the captain of the destroyer "Jeju" asked curiously.
"No, it's not just about occupying Indonesia." A cold look appeared on Zheng Xin's face, "It's about occupying the entire Indonesia."
"But that place is now Dutch territory."
"Dutch" Zheng Xin snorted a breath of cold air from her nose. "It would be great if the Dutch can keep their homeland now. They also want to snatch colonies from us."
In 1596, a Dutch fleet led by Dutchman Hortmann arrived in Banten, Java. In 1603, the Netherlands built a trading station in Java; in 1605, they conquered the Maluku Islands, which are rich in spices.
Ambon Island, Tilly Island. In 1619, Jakarta on Java Island was captured and named Batavia as the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company in the East. Before the arrival of the Dutch, the Portuguese had already established some trading stations in Indonesia.
Later, the British also invaded Indonesia and established colonies. The Netherlands became the country that occupied the most territory among these European countries. The Netherlands initially implemented colonial rule over these areas through the Dutch East India Company. After the dissolution of the Indian Company in 1799, the colonies were
The Dutch government took over and the East Indies became the Dutch East Indies Colony.
Although the current focus of the Chinese government is still on the Soviet-Russian battlefield, Su Tong's concern for Nanyang has never stopped. This can be seen from Su Tong's continuous expansion of the size of the Marine Corps. As of 1941
By the end of the year, Su Tong had expanded the amphibious combat force of the Marine Corps into an elite armed force with six divisions, three support brigades, and a total of 130,000 people, in order to compete with the United States, Britain and other countries for control of the South Pacific in the future.
Right, now is the first step of Su Tong's expansion strategy.
Although Su Tong covets Malaysia now, it is not easy to fall out with the British at this time. Although it is not a problem to bully the small British troops stationed in Malay based on the current strength of the Chinese navy, but now he risks quarreling with the United States and the United Kingdom.
The risk of falling out occupies this place but it is not suitable, so Su Tong turned his attention to Indonesia behind Malaysia, the place that made Chief Su gnash his teeth.
Any angry youth in another time and space will remember the large-scale anti-Chinese incident that occurred in Indonesia in May 1998. A large number of overseas Chinese were brutally murdered. A compiled report by the Jakarta Human Rights and Women's Research Organization shows that
During the riots that occurred in May 1998, more than 5,000 massacres of Chinese women and girls were brutally killed by thugs across Indonesia.
More than 100 cases were the most serious. According to incomplete statistics, at least 1,200 Chinese were massacred or killed. This was an organized, planned, and deliberately implemented persecution and massacre targeting the overseas Chinese community.
The cause of the matter is very simple, that is, the local overseas Chinese have accumulated a huge amount of wealth through generations and decades of accumulation. After the Chinese from China migrated to Indonesia, they gradually established their presence in the local area through doing business, opening factories, mines, schools, etc.
It has more and more influence. The local indigenous people are becoming more and more jealous of the wealth owned by the Chinese. They hate the Chinese for taking away their jobs and status, and are also very afraid that the Chinese will ride on their heads, no matter what the outcome.
Whether due to inner greed or the need to divert the attention of the domestic public, the Indonesian ruling authorities regard the anti-Chinese movement as a means of robbing the rich and helping the poor and political needs. The reason is very simple, just like shearing sheep, whenever they recuperate for dozens of
After the local Chinese gradually accumulated considerable wealth in 2000, the Indonesian authorities would launch such an anti-Chinese campaign. They could not only make a fortune but also be promoted, so why not do it.
At the beginning of the 20th century, among the Southeast Asian colonies, the Dutch colonial government had the most tax items and the highest tax rates. Foreigners in the Dutch colonies were not levied a poll tax, but the Chinese were not only levied heavy taxes, but even taxed more heavily than the local indigenous people.
The number of residents will be increased several times. Any actions of the Chinese in daily life, such as raising flags, offering sacrifices, slaughtering animals, as well as weddings, burials, building houses, opening markets, etc., must seek instructions from colonial officials. Even when cleaning the streets, they encounter Chinese houses.
, are often picky and impose heavy fines for minor violations. The post office and other public agencies also wantonly abuse and discriminate against the Chinese, and the Chinese often do not follow the rules when sending letters and postal remittances, which seriously affects the normal production and production of overseas Chinese.
Life.
The sensational "Surabaya" event in 1912 came about in this context. On February 19, 1912, overseas Chinese in Surabaya City, Dutch Java Island, took to the streets one after another, held rallies, and raised the
Five-color flags and firecrackers were fired to celebrate the founding of the Republic of China. The Dutch colonial authorities actually sent military police to intervene with force, shooting and killing three overseas Chinese, wounding more than ten others, and arresting more than a hundred people. The angry overseas Chinese resorted to a closed-door strike.
In protest, the Dutch colonial authorities dispatched a large number of military police to force the market to open and arrested more than a thousand people, leading to the sensational "Surabaya Incident."
Now that China's national and military power is gradually increasing, the navy also has nine large aircraft carriers and more than 200 warships of various types. It is fully capable of showing off its power in surrounding countries. According to the somewhat boring surname of our Chief Su
With such a strong strength, wouldn't it be like walking at night in the surrounding countries if he didn't show off his power in neighboring countries? Moreover, it's not easy for me to bully the British now, but if I don't bully you, a little Dutch, I will feel sorry for myself.
So, under Su Tong's order, the South China Sea Fleet, which had been recuperating for half a year, set off south again. This time, it was accompanied by two marine divisions and a mysterious force.
In the middle of the fleet, the large room of a troop transport ship was crowded with more than a hundred soldiers. The life of sailing at sea was very boring. After sailing on the sea for ten days and a half, the soldiers remembered every little thing.
In the room, one can imagine the mental boredom, so chatting, spanking or playing cards became the main ways for the soldiers to pass their time.
"Hey, sir." Zhang Yanbo reached out and poked Liu Zhaochen next to him.
"What's the matter?" Liu Zhaochen, who was sleeping in a daze, shouted in a low voice with some annoyance: "If you're fine, don't bother me. I'll crush your eggs and make your Chunni a widow."
Facing the chief's anger, Zhang Yanbo felt a little aggrieved, "I just want to ask you something. As for cursing me like this?"
"It's the most disgusting thing to disturb someone's dream. If you don't tell me the truth, I won't be able to spare you." Liu Zhaochen, who had been quelled by Zhang Yanbo, started to do it with sleepy eyes, stretched out his hands and gave him a long blow.
After yawning, he took out a cigarette from the bedside and lit it. After calming down, he asked leisurely: "Tell me, what is it that keeps you awake and wakes me up?"
"That's what happened, sir." Zhang Yanbo came over and asked quickly: "When we boarded the ship, wasn't there a troop transport ship that joined our team halfway? I discovered it yesterday when I was out on the deck.
A troop transport ship was following us. On the deck of the troop transport ship behind us, we saw several soldiers coming out to watch, but according to my observation, the clothes they wore were different from ours.
"
"Bullshit." Liu Zhaochen glanced at Zhang Yanbo with a strange expression, "You have only been a soldier for a few days. You just lost the smell of milk and you come here to pretend to be cool with me. Do you think all the troops are dressed like us Marines?"
Marine-colored combat training uniforms, let’s not talk about the Air Force and Navy, even the Army’s combat training uniforms are divided into different colors according to different regions. For example, those brother troops in Soviet Russia should all wear winter clothing now, right?
But as for us, why don’t we still wear autumn clothes, you kid?”
"Stop, stop." Zhang Yanbo quickly raised his hands as if begging for mercy, "Sir, can you listen to what I have to say?"
"Okay, if you tell me, I'd like to see what great things you can find."
"That's it. I noticed that the people on the troop carrier behind us were all wearing black uniforms." Zhang Yanbo said mysteriously: "And I found that those people had an indescribable smell.
, I can’t say exactly what it smells like, anyway, I always feel a little scared when I look at them.”
"Well" Liu Zhaochen's face changed slightly when he heard this, and his eyes suddenly became sharp, "Our troop ship is at least a hundred meters away from them. How did you see their expressions and their clothes from such a distance?
Are there any special markings on it?"
Zhang Yanbo didn't notice Liu Zhaochen's expression, and said triumphantly: "Sir, you don't even know who I am. Yesterday, I secretly took a telescope to peek at the female soldiers on the nearby medical ship. Who
Knowing that when I looked back, I discovered that the soldiers on the troop carrier behind were different from us, I just...
Before Zhang Yanbo finished speaking, Liu Zhaochen grabbed him by the collar and asked, "I'm asking you if there are any special marks on their clothes."
"Uh" Zhang Yanbo was startled by Liu Zhaochen's sudden gaffe, "Let me think about it. I remembered it. The epaulettes on the left shoulders of their clothes are very strange. Not only are their clothes black, but their epaulettes are also
There is also a black tiger head painted on it, and it has a huge bloody mouth, which is very scary. I said, sir, why are you so excited? Put me down quickly."
"What, they have black tiger heads on their armbands?" Liu Zhaochen's voice couldn't help but get louder, waking up several soldiers nearby.
Several sleeping soldiers were woken up and saw Zhang Yanbo being grabbed by Liu Zhaochen's collar. They all stepped forward to persuade him, "Sir, what are you doing? Let go quickly. Zhang Yanbo is almost out of breath."
"Humph" Liu Zhaochen let go of his hand, slowly sat back on his bed, and whispered to himself: "It's impossible, how could they appear here? Isn't that person still in Nanjing?"
After finally catching his breath, the fire of gossip in Zhang Yanbo's heart ignited. He quickly came over and asked repeatedly, "Sir, what are you talking about? How did they appear here? Who are they?"
With a cold snort, Liu Zhaochen turned back to stare at Zhang Yanbo and said coldly: "From now on, when you go on the deck, don't use the telescope to look back. It will be difficult if they are discovered by those people. You must remember
Now, don’t mess with those people on the troop carrier behind.”
After Liu Zhaochen said something meaningless, he was about to lie down to sleep again. However, the soldiers who were curious about his words couldn't sleep anymore. They all crawled to Liu Zhaochen's bed and surrounded him.
He stood up and said, "Sir, please tell us. After all, I have been sleeping for so many days. Now it is time to show us the meaning of bragging in Sichuan dialect of Longmen Zhen, just to relieve our boredom."
"Okay, I will tell you today, so that you will not know it when you have offended someone, or you will suffer a big loss without knowing what happened." Liu Zhaochen had no choice but to sit up again and look at the curious babies around him.
After taking a look, he slowly said: "There is indeed no unit in our National Defense Force that is issued with black uniforms. Combat troops in different regions will be issued combat uniforms of different colors according to the different regional environments. This reason is that even
All new recruits know this. And black uniforms are notoriously bad for camouflage and cover on the battlefield, especially in winter snow and jungles. Putting on a black combat uniform is tantamount to shouting to the enemy.
Fire!"
"Haha" the soldiers all laughed.
"But there are exceptions to everything. There are two troops whose uniforms are black on weekdays. Not to mention the uniforms, even their helmets are black." At this point, Liu Zhaochen's face became serious, "This one has black uniforms."
The troops rarely show up, let alone us, even the general officers don't know much about these two troops."
"Then how did you know, sir?" A soldier interrupted at the right time.
"You kid, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." Liu Zhaochen glared at this daredevil, "As far as I know, there are only two troops wearing black uniforms on weekdays. The first one is the internal security troops led by Chief Ma of our Logistics Department.
, their unit has always only stayed in the huge logistics base in Chahar and has never been in public. This unit is also the most mysterious. The second unit is the guard group around the president. This is also a group that fights against us.
The president started to form a unit when he became rich in the Chahar Militia. I don’t know much about this unit. I just vaguely heard from our old regiment leader that the daily mission of this unit is to protect the president.
Security rarely leaves the president's side. If it does, it means something big is going to happen, and the armband of this guard regiment is a black tiger head."
"It's so mysterious." Zhang Yanbo was a little disapproving. "Isn't it just a tiger head? Could it really jump out of the armband and bite people?"
"I asked you why you are so stupid." Liu Zhaochen nodded his head and said, "Think about it, when our president started his career, what was his army called? What is it called now? The whole army."
There are several troops that can use black tiger heads as their logo. Why did the president's security regiment follow us to Indonesia? Don't you use your brain to think about it? I think you are quite smart in normal times. Why are you so stupid now?
ah"
"Oh, I understand." Zhang Yanbo scratched his head, still looking a little confused.
"Okay, that's all I know." Liu Zhaochen said angrily: "I've told you this, it's up to you whether you listen or not. If you suffer a loss from them, don't blame me for not reminding you.
you."
"Okay, it's time to go to bed, it's time to go to sleep." The group of people rushed to the bed with Liu Zhaochen behind them. At first, there were some voices, but slowly the voices became lower, and finally the whole room was filled with the sound of snoring one after another.
