Chapter 1524 Set sail against the wind!

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Riding on the fierce south wind, the homing pigeon flew to the Houbihu Coast Guard Base in Kenting in just one day and one night.

    It was late at night, and Zhao Hao was still in the brightly lit war room, meditating with Jin Ke on the Luzon sand table.

    Every red flag planted on the sand table is an uprising force of the Igorot people.  In order to allow them to contain the Spanish troops to a greater extent and to better control these Igorots, Zhao Hao also equipped them with a considerable number of instructors, as well as weapons and armor such as shields, leather armor, swords and guns.

    The instructors adhered to the sixteen-character policy of "When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we pursue; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack", which greatly contained the Spanish troops and successfully aroused  The response from various tribes was unexpectedly good.

    Now that most of Luzon is in war, Manila is becoming increasingly empty.

    But Zhao Hao's worries are getting more and more serious, because with the brutal nature of the Spaniards, in order to stabilize the rear, the more urgent the situation, the more likely they are to kill the overseas Chinese!

    He can¡¯t say that the plan drawn up by the staff is wrong, because whenever the staff makes a plan, it should be to achieve strategic goals at the minimum cost.

    Anxiety made Zhao Hao start smoking one cigarette after another.

    After some discussion between the two, Zhao Hao rejected the plan proposed by the combat staff to send a marine brigade to land at the northern end of Luzon, and with the cooperation of small boats, go south along the Grand Cagayan Valley to Manila.

    Although this can avoid the harm of typhoons, it is too scary to travel through more than half of Luzon and 900 miles, even if there are ships that can transport supplies and transport the wounded.

    This violates the operational principles of the Coast Guard - Marines should operate with the support of warships and cannot be more than 20 miles away from the coast, otherwise the situation is in danger of getting out of control!

    ?????????????????????????????????? Well, there is an exception to the rule that "if the conditions of the river leading to the sea are good, the restrictions can be relaxed as appropriate", but isn't it too ridiculous to go nine hundred miles deep?  !

    Zhao Hao directly ignited the combat plan, and while lighting up his cigarette, he complained: "If Wuda sees this, he will tie the staff who came up with this plan to a rocket and launch it!"

    ¡°The staff officers were forced to do nothing, and they all came up with such ridiculous plans.¡± Jin Ke said with a wry smile to appease the young master¡¯s anger.

    At this time, rapid footsteps sounded outside the war room.

    After the report, a staff officer quickly came in, pulled out a translated secret letter from the folder and gave it to Jin Ke.

    Jin Ke glanced at it and reported to Zhao Hao: "Young master, the red-haired ghost has taken action against the overseas Chinese!"

    "Good! Very good, very good!" Zhao Hao gritted his teeth.

    Jin Ke quickly put his legs together and said with a stern expression: "Please give me the order, Master!"

    "Emergency gathering, I want to give a speech!" At this time, the worry on Zhao Hao's face disappeared. He put out the cigarette butt and ordered in a deep voice.

    ¡®Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-¡¯

    A moment later, the sound of emergency assembly broke the tranquility of the military port night.

    A tense atmosphere suddenly filled the military port.  The sleeping Marine Corps officers tensed up when they heard the horn sound, and reflexively jumped out of bed. They put on their training uniforms at lightning speed, put on their boots, packed their backpacks, and rushed out with all their starting equipment.  to the barracks.

    Thanks to the kind guidance of Director Tong, the officers and soldiers can still maintain a very high speed of assembly even if they have left the Coast Guard School for many years.

    Except for the officers and soldiers who were on combat readiness on the ship, they all rushed to the large playground next to the dock immediately.

    Hundreds of whale oil torches illuminated the rostrum as bright as day. Mr. Zhao had already dressed neatly and stood there with a serious expression, waiting for the officers and soldiers.

    Ten minutes later, five thousand officers and soldiers lined up in order.  After the gasps subsided, the playground was completely silent!

    After Jin Ke organized the team in person, he asked Mr. Zhao to give him a lecture.

    Zhao Hao did not use a loudspeaker and directly shouted to the officers and soldiers, reporting the situation in Manila.  Then he said loudly:

    "I know, now is not the season to go south, the maintenance of our warships has not been completed, and everyone does not know those overseas Chinese!"

    After a pause, Zhao Hao¡¯s unquestionable eyes slowly swept across the field, clearly conveying his extremely firm determination to the officers and soldiers.

    "But I want to tell you, this is the responsibility of our coast guard! When we guard the maritime borders, of course we must guard our compatriots on the maritime borders!"

    "This has nothing to do with whether we recognize them or not, because we are going to defend the duties of the Coast Guard and defend China's maritime rights! Defend the dignity of our Chinese nationHe opened his mouth and drove away the new recruits who had no eyesight.

    He stepped out with one foot wearing shiny black leather boots, and then poked out his big, shaved head, wearing gold-rimmed sunglasses, with a Victory cigar dangling from his mouth.

    ¡°This look is just one big gold chain away from the big brother from the Northeast

    The navy officers and soldiers on the battleship cheered heartily when they saw his figure, and the whistles resounded throughout Fengshan Port.

    Although they have a strict command system and have veteran captains who have experienced many battles, the officers and soldiers of the strategic fleet are still used to having Wang Rulong, who is like a big brother in charge.

    Everyone always feels as if as long as he is around, we are the only ones who can bully others, and no one wants to bully us!

    Seeing Lao Wang appear, the morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly boosted. Several old brothers winked at Xiang Xuehai, meaning, it¡¯s still early for you to take over Lao Wang¡¯s team

    Xiang Xuehai glared at them fiercely, do you take the nonsense he said while drinking seriously?  Do you want to kill me?

    After everyone hugged Wang Rulong one by one, Ma Yinglong smiled and asked: "Old Wang, you didn't sneak out of the hospital, right?"

    "How could that be possible? I could have been discharged from the hospital last month, but Master insisted that I recuperate for another month." Wang Rulong said carelessly: "Look if you don't believe me!"

    He took out a crumpled discharge certificate from his sleeve, flashed it in front of Ma Yinglong's eyes and said, "Dean Li issued it personally!"

    After saying that, he put the certificate back into his sleeve, hooked Ma Yinglong's shoulder and went up the gangway and said, "I have to go. Why did we encounter a typhoon last time? Was it because I, the Dragon King of Jinghai, was not here? This time I  Once we go, everything will be calm!"

    Ma Yinglong felt something was strange, but there was a time for the fleet to set off. Besides, Wang Rulong didn't let him think too much, and he got on the ship with him without hesitation.

    As the fleet slowly sailed out of Fengshan Port, a carriage from the Coast Guard General Hospital was chasing after them.

    A young and handsome doctor looked through the car window and saw that the warship had left the port. He stamped his feet angrily and said:

    "This Wang Rulong is really desperate! He drank too much after the operation and made the wound infected! The inflammation has only been cured for a few days, how can he go to sea? He even forged a discharge certificate!"
