Chapter 1670 Operation Neptune

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After breaking the routine and setting the general tone of interspersed encirclement, the war zone ordered the Staff Office, together with the Luzon Port Company and the Construction Engineering Company, to conduct exploration and evaluation of the narrow strait between Leyte Island and Sanmiao Island.

    The final conclusion is that construction difficulty does exist, but it is not particularly difficult for construction companies with extensive harbor construction.  The entire project can be completed in approximately one month.

    There are still nearly two months until the end of the typhoon season, so there is still enough time.

    What needs special attention is the issue of confidentiality, because this section of the ¡®Sanmao Strait¡¯ is very narrow and long, and the construction section is still 30 miles away from Leyte Gulf, and it is very tortuous, so there is no need to worry about the Spaniards patrolling the bay.

    The problem is that the various tribes of Sanmiao people living on Sanmiao Island, as well as the Cebuanos and Valais people on Leyte Island, have basically converted to Catholicism.  These people will act as spies for the Spaniards.

    However, after deducing the situation, the Staff Office believes that this problem should be solved.

    In the end, the theater headquarters decided to use Lin Feng¡¯s combat plan as the core and Wang Rulong¡¯s plan as an alternative, with the goal of completely eliminating Spain¡¯s military presence in the Far East, and formulated a complete combat plan.

    Zhao Hao named it "Operation Neptune"!

    The campaign is divided into three stages. The first stage, ¡®Forging Soldiers¡¯, will begin from now on!

    There are three important tasks in this stage.  First, through strategic deception, the Spaniards were made to think that we were going to regain Brunei.

    The second is to complete the project of opening up the waterway under the premise of confidentiality.

    The third is to try to destroy the Spanish supplies on Guam and Saipan without exposing oneself, and to detect the status of the Spanish expeditionary fleet.

    The third task is handled by the Military Intelligence Division.  The first and second tasks required the coordination of various departments in the war zone to complete, and even Zhao Hao also contributed.

    At the end of July, he ordered people to invite King Seif of Balni and King Yezid of Sulu to the theater headquarters.

    "Hahaha, how are you, Your Majesty, these days?" Zhao Hao met the two of them on the sea-viewing balcony of his residence.

    "Thanks to the young master, life in the sanatorium is very comfortable." Ye Zide apologized and said with a smile.

    ¡°I just don¡¯t know how our affairs will be resolved,¡± Saif, who has changed from a pointed face to a round face, said in broken Chinese: ¡°It¡¯s inevitable that we won¡¯t be able to eat well and won¡¯t be able to sleep.¡±

    "Haha, I invited you two here just for this matter." Zhao Hao smiled and greeted the two of them to sit down and said: "I received a letter from the cabinet the day before yesterday. The court has decided to accept the two soil donations, and based on Luzon and Annan  For example, the governor's office of Bo Ni and the governor's office of Annan were respectively established, and the two served as governor and governor respectively. They were hereditary and could not be replaced. They could make decisions on their own in response to internal affairs."

    "Really?" The two were overjoyed when they heard this.  They had known that they would not be able to be crowned kings after offering their land, and it would be great to be a hereditary governor or governor.  Whether it's Sultan, King or Governor, isn't it just a title?

    And they all know that since the Jiajing period, Annan King Mo Dengyong tied a piece of land outside Zhennan Pass and requested that the population and field register be included in the Ming Dynasty, Annan was downgraded from the "Annan Kingdom" to the "Annan Capital Envoy".  It is under the jurisdiction of the Guangxi Chief Envoy Department.

    With the same treatment as Annan, who is known as Little China, what else are they dissatisfied with?

    Ye Qide was still smart and immediately bowed deeply to Zhao Hao and said: "In the future, when I have to deal with the affairs of the Governor's Mansion, I will have to ask the young master to do it for me."

    "Yes, yes." Saif nodded quickly. During this time, he also thought clearly. Since he was taking refuge in Daming and Mr. Zhao, he must learn from Lao Ye and correct his position.

    "Alas, that's wrong." Zhao Hao waved his hand and said with a smile: "In the Luzon Governor's Mansion, because Governor Xu's inheritance has been cut off for eight or nine generations, he lacks enough popularity, so our group helps him manage it.  a bit more."

    After a pause, he looked at Saif with a smile and said: "You two are different. You are both inherited from generation to generation and have high morals and high respect. If you are the main one in the affairs of Balni and Sulu, our group will take action."  .¡±

    "This" Yezid and Saif looked at each other, intuitively saying that they couldn't take it seriously.

    ¡°Put your heart back in your stomach, the Coast Guard will guard every inch of Ming Dynasty¡¯s sea frontier and territory, including of course Bo Ni and Sulu.¡± Zhao Hao said with a smile.

    At this time, Secretary Ma served three glasses of wine.  Zhao Hao picked up a glass and motioned for the two of them to raise their glasses too:

    "Come, let's wish Daming, Nanyang, Bo Ni, and Sulu a bright future!"

    "There are also groups." Ye Zide added with a busy smile.

    "That's right." Saif quickly nodded in agreement and said, "It's really good that everyone is happy!"

    "Okay, okay!"The country was destroyed by the Spaniards. It makes sense to find a place to start over, right?  "

    "Reasonable and reasonable, very reasonable." Yezide nodded, hesitated and said: "The Valais who converted to Catholicism live here. They will definitely not be able to defeat our brave Sulu people, but"

    He swallowed and did not dare to say anything further.

    "You just beat them, are you afraid of attracting red-haired ghosts?" Zhao Hao knew what he meant.

    "Yes." Ye Qide said with a smile: "The red-haired ghost is so good at fighting"

    "Don't worry, they won't come." Zhao Hao said calmly: "The red-haired ghosts are busy welcoming the expeditionary force, and they will desperately ask for help when they return to Borneo. How can they care about the Valais?"

    "You don't need to kill them all. Tell them that the Sulu people just want a place to live and settle down. Let them leave the northeastern corner of Leyte Island, so that they can stay safe." After a pause, he ordered again: "Treat the Sanmiao people.  Likewise, just don¡¯t let them approach the southwest corner of Sanmiao Island.¡±

    These two parts just form a complete plain, but are separated by the strait in the middle.

    "Yes." Ye Zide didn't know what Mr. Zhao was going to do, but he nodded and said, "I will go back and contact the clan members tomorrow."

    "Well, we must clear all outsiders out of this strait for at least ten kilometers." Zhao Hao warned again: "But be careful not to do it so obviously. You might as well start with Leyte Island and Sanmiao Island.  When people see this, they should retreat."

    ps. No more tonight.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
