Chapter 1315 Emergency Military Information

Yu Xiaobao's approach is somewhat ambiguous. After all, Liu Shang was recruited from the private sector by the Propaganda Department. However, the Youth League has a special status in Haihan officialdom, which is equivalent to the training system for young backbone officials.

, therefore the Executive Committee gives the Youth League many privileges. For example, transferring suitable personnel from other departments to serve in the Youth League is one of them. Grassroots officials like Liu Shang who have not yet formally joined the position, because Xiaobao personally issued a letter to apply for transfer.

Generally speaking, the relevant units will not reject it, not to mention that his transfer application was sent directly to Ning Qi. As long as Ning Qi signed it, other officials of the Propaganda Department would naturally have nothing to say.

After completing these two things, Yu Xiaobao took out another letter of introduction and handed it to Liu Shangdao: "Your previous onboarding training has not been completed, so you have to go back and complete the required procedures first. You can take this later.

Send a letter of introduction to the previous training center, and they will arrange new courses for you. After you complete it, you can take the completion certificate issued there to report to the Youth League, do you understand?"

Liu Shang quickly took it with both hands and thanked him repeatedly. Knowing that the conversation had come to an end, he quickly stood up and left. Yu Xiaobao had a lot of things on his hands and had no intention of keeping him longer, so he nodded and let him leave on his own.

After Liu Shang came out, he saw that the soldier who brought him in was still waiting outside. He knew that this was probably a requirement of the security system, so that "miscellaneous personnel" like himself would not stay around in the Victory Fort after finishing their work.

, it only adds to the trouble.

Liu Shang immediately followed him back to the entrance and exit of the gate. After walking a few steps, he saw someone riding a two-wheeled vehicle in front of him. The bell on the front of the vehicle rang repeatedly to warn passers-by to get out of the way. The soldier leading the way

He quickly pulled Liu Shang to the side of the road, and the man and the car flew past them without slowing down. Liu Shang had been in Sanya for some time, and he recognized that the car was called "Bicycle" and that it was for people who needed to ride it.

It can push the pedals to drive the car forward. However, it is said that the craftsmanship is complicated and the cost is quite high. Only a few extremely wealthy and upper-class people can afford such high-end toys.

However, in addition to the upper echelons of society, there is another type of person who can obtain officially issued bicycles, and that is the messenger. This kind of messenger is not an errand that goes around the streets to deliver letters to ordinary people, but is dedicated to delivering letters between various yamen.

Emergency intelligence communicator. Some written information cannot be transmitted quickly by telephone or telegraph. At this time, a messenger on a bicycle is needed to complete the task.

The cyclist who just passed by Liu Shang wore a conspicuous red armband on his arm, which showed his identity as a messenger. Otherwise, if he was riding at such a fast speed in the Fort of Victory, he would have been killed long ago.

He was intercepted by guards who could be seen everywhere. Liu Shang secretly thought that something big was going to happen if he was in such a hurry to deliver the message. However, he did not dare to inquire about the news at will, so he could only follow the leading soldiers and silently left the Victory Fort.

.

The bicycle rode until it reached the door of the Ministry of National Defense before it braked and stopped. The messenger put the bicycle on its bicycle and said to the soldiers standing guard at the door: "The urgent military information from Victory Port needs to be reported to the staff immediately!"

The soldiers on guard did not dare to neglect and took him in immediately. After a while, the Ministry of National Defense became busy, and the staff began to notify senior officers to gather in preparation for an emergency meeting. At this time, the Minister of Defense Yan Chujie was still in Danzhou.

Handling the arms sales business, the person currently staying in Sanya to preside over military affairs is Tao Donglai, the head of the Executive Committee. Someone immediately notified Tao Donglai and asked him to attend the meeting at the Ministry of National Defense.

Tao Donglai quickly rushed to the Ministry of National Defense. After listening to the report, he learned that the urgent military information he received had just arrived at Victory Port by a merchant ship. After knowing the content of the information, the officials in charge of docking intelligence at the port did not dare at all.

If there is any delay, quickly send someone to ride to Fort Victory to deliver the message.

Among the overseas intelligence agencies deployed by Haihan, very few are equipped with radio stations, so most of the information can only be transmitted by sea shipping. Although the timeliness will be much worse, it is also a common practice in this era.

.However, in this way, if there is an emergency military situation, Haihan will have much less time to respond.

The various intelligences received by Haihan's military and security departments are divided into four levels: red, orange, yellow, and blue according to their severity. The urgent information brought back by a merchant ship this time belongs to this category.

This is a red level that requires immediate response. The last emergency situation listed as a red alert by the Ministry of National Defense was the Battle of Xingdao a few months ago. However, at that time Xingdao directly sent a telegram back to warn, although Sanya was far away.

It's far away, but it can be regarded as receiving accurate news from the front line as soon as possible. The timeliness is much stronger than the intelligence sent back this time.

Tao Donglai looked carefully at the piece of paper in front of him, which was no larger than the size of his palm. It was filled with densely written small characters, and the content inside really shocked him.

The person who sent this secret report was a merchant ship returning to Sanya from Manila Port on Luzon Island. Although the ship was nominally the property of a certain Ming businessman, in fact the crew members were all members of the Haihan Security Department and the military.

The purpose of the previous trip to Manila was to complete the transfer of information with lurking local intelligence personnel. This time, the intelligence they obtained from the local area showed that the Manila authorities were most likely preparing to launch a raid on Sanya Port. An armed sailing ship

The fleet has completed its assembly in Manila Port, and the launch may be in the near future.

After receiving the news, the ship canceled all local trade and itinerary arrangements, and immediately returned to Sanya to report the news. Although Haihan launched many wars with foreign countries, the capital Sanya has never suffered any war since it was built as a port city.

A large-scale armed attack. The intelligence personnel on the ship knew the serious nature of the incident and marked it as a red alert level.

There has not been a battle in the Sanya area for many years. The last time probably dates back to the time when the traversers were attacked by a group of pirates shortly after they landed in Victory Port. However, they did not succeed under the attack of the traversers. At that time, they were attacked by a group of pirates.

Some of the pirate prisoners captured by the time-travelers later became generals in the Haihan Army. For example, Gao Qiaonan, the current commander of the Haihan Special War Battalion, was one of the pirate prisoners at that time. After that,

There has never been an emergency military situation in the Sanya area. In the past two years, even the venue for annual military exercises has been moved to the Beibu Gulf area, so that the Sanya area can enjoy a calmer and more stable trade environment.

Of course, this does not mean that Haihan has relaxed its defense deployment in the Sanya area. Whether it is Victory Port or Sanya Port, the continuous coastal defense forts on the hillside at the entrance of the harbor are not just decorations. In the past one or two years, the forts have

The erected coastal defense artillery has also gradually completed iterative replacement. Even Haihan's own navy cannot guarantee that it can smoothly enter and leave the harbor under such coastal defense artillery fire. Haihan's Ministry of National Defense can safely deploy its powerful fleet

To places thousands of miles away, the sea defense capabilities of Sanya's forts are also one of the reasons why it has the confidence to do so.

If the enemy comes from the sea and wants to use the tactics of armed fleets to attack the harbor, then Haihan's coastal defense artillery will probably leave them with a very unforgettable lesson. And it is not that there is no navy stationed in Sanya. The navy is located on the east coast of Victory Port.

A fully-equipped naval fleet is stationed at the port all year round. Although only a few of its warships are equipped with steam equipment as auxiliary propulsion devices, the overall combat effectiveness is still first-class among the naval establishments. The Ministry of National Defense

It is believed that this fleet can handle at least twice as many armed sailing ships as our own in a naval battle. If the battlefield is set at home and the fleet can more easily obtain supplies of combat materials and personnel, then this number can probably be increased by at least one or two.

times.

If the war situation becomes tense, the naval fleets stationed in Haikou and Danzhou can rush back to Sanya within two days to participate in the war. Together, there are more than 20 naval combat ships in these two places, large and small, with the same combat effectiveness.

It should not be underestimated. If the naval forces deployed on Hainan Island are gathered together, it will not be a big problem to deal with the naval forces of the Ming Dynasty. Although the Spanish in Manila are also unique in naval warfare, they have to compete with those who are at home.

If the Haihan Fleet engages in a naval battle, it will probably be an extremely difficult task.

Therefore, although the secret report claimed that it had obtained relatively certain evidence and could basically determine that the target of this fleet was Hainan Island under Haihan's rule, Tao Donglai did not feel particularly nervous about this. He was convinced that Sanya's defense capabilities

, coupled with knowing the news in advance, this is enough to withstand the Spanish offensive.

However, this does not mean that Haihan can sit back and relax. If the opponent's attack target is not Sanya, or if Sanya finds it difficult to attack and then turns to other ports on Hainan Island to launch an offensive, then it must be on guard. Danzhou and

Although major ports such as Haikou also have shore defenses, they are certainly not as strong as the defenses here in Sanya. If the enemy is fishing in troubled waters and takes advantage of the chaos to make a sneak attack, something might really happen.

When Tao Dong came to the venue, the staff of the Ministry of National Defense and some senior officers of the Navy were already waiting there. However, there were still some senior officers of the Navy at the Victory Port Naval Base, and they would not be able to get there even if they were notified within a short time.

.

Tao Dong took a look at the people present. They were basically all naturalized officers. Apart from himself, only Johnson, who had been stationed in Sanya all year round, attended the meeting. This is also a problem that the Haihan military is currently facing.

The problem is big and small. Travelers in the military are almost all generals. Nowadays, most of them are stationed in various overseas colonies. Unknowingly, the senior officers who stayed in the local areas have gradually become naturalized personnel.

It's the Lord.

The loyalty and abilities of these people are not a big problem. The vast majority of senior naturalized officers have accumulated rich combat experience in previous foreign wars in recent years, and almost all of them have settled down in Haihan, which can be regarded as a permanent settlement.

Rooted. Moreover, when serving as a sergeant in a victorious army like Haihan, the possibility of having second thoughts is very small. Almost all officers understand that they have caught up with a good era. Haihan is at the time of opening up its territory.

As long as they work hard for the country, whether they will be among the founding heroes of the country or become a prince, it is a promising prospect.

Therefore, as long as there is any hint of a war, the officers' reaction is quite positive. No one will be afraid of war at this time, because everyone knows their own strength. As long as the war starts, it is almost an opportunity to improve their records and merits.

Performing combat missions is basically equivalent to accumulating military merit. As long as there is a motivated military attache, everyone will naturally compete for the first place at this time.

However, Tao Donglai still hopes to have at least one time traveler to command the navy locally to deal with the war that may come in the near future. The generals of the Haihan Navy were originally formed with the North American Gang as the main body, because this group of people knows navigation,

They also understand military affairs, and there are very few candidates in the Time Travel Group who are proficient in these two fields, so Wang Tom and others naturally became the navy's generals.

However, with the continuous expansion of the Haihan territory in recent years, the location of these North American gang members has also undergone great changes. Currently, Wang Tom and Morgan are all traveling to Shandong, where they guard the northern route all year round and wait for opportunities to attack.

Liaodong region. Shi Diwen is based in Zhoushan, Zhejiang, guarding the important transit point of the north-south route. Roger is on the Star Island at the eastern end of the Strait of Malacca, thousands of miles to the south, guarding the chokepoint connecting the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. Staying on Hainan Island

There are only two people left. One is Johnson, who has switched to a civilian position and concentrates on medical and health affairs. The other is Qiao Zhiya, the director of Changshilu Industrial Zone. Although he still serves as the supreme commander of the local armed forces, he has actually left.

I have been on combat missions for several years.

Of course, Tao Donglai can also go to sea to command the navy. Although he is not as professional as Wang Tom and others, at least he knows the basic tactics relatively well. He also has mature routines on how to deal with armed ships at sea in the 17th century. But if he goes

To command operations at sea, someone must be based in Sanya to take charge of the overall situation, and this candidate is probably only Yan Chujie from the Ministry of National Defense.

"Send a telegram to Danzhou in the name of the Ministry of National Defense, asking Minister Yan to complete the local work handover as soon as possible and rush back to Sanya." After reading the secret report, Tao Donglai felt that this matter was careless, so he recalled Yan Chujie as soon as possible, at least

Multiple people can also discuss countermeasures. As for the arms sales in Danzhou, Schneider and Baikes are in charge, so there is no need to worry about any problems.

After issuing this order, Tao Donglai explained to everyone the reason for convening the emergency meeting. Although most of the people present who received the temporary notice guessed that something might be done, they did not expect that a foreign enemy was planning to attack.

Hainan Island, and Haihan is rarely on the passive defensive side.
