Although Su Keyi had a sense of crisis, his civilian background did not affect his intelligence collection in the professional field. Ryukyu military personnel did receive military training provided by Haihan in a systematic manner, but Ryukyu's actual military strength was far less than Su Keyi's.

My father and son thought it was so powerful.

The reason is also very simple. The funds required to form a fully firearms army are not something that a small country like Ryukyu can afford.

Although Ryukyu has surrendered to Haihan, the local natural conditions have determined that it is difficult for that country to have any profitable industries. The budget available for military use in its national treasury is very small, and it can even purchase new weapons in batches.

No.

In terms of financial resources alone, Ryukyu is far different from North Korea and Annan countries, so it is difficult to imitate their methods of strengthening the military and replicate an armed force abroad that completely copies the Haihan Army.

However, considering Ryukyu’s territorial area, population base, and geographical location, it makes little sense for a small island country like Ryukyu to engage in military warfare. Therefore, Ryukyu previously chose an approach that suited its national conditions and handed over its own foreign defense.

Haihan itself needs to maintain a small-scale armed force to maintain order abroad.

Therefore, the defense of Ryukyu naturally falls on the Donghai Region, which is closest to Ryukyu. Shi Diwen also flexibly provided Ryukyu with a specially customized common defense system.

Shi Diwen's plan was to establish an amphibious camp in Ryukyu jointly built by the two countries. The senior officers would be all Haihan soldiers, and the soldiers would be recruited from Ryukyu itself.

The amphibious battalion was organized under the Donghai Region, and all weapons and equipment were provided by the Donghai Region. During wartime, it was incorporated into the combat system of the Haihan Army and was at the disposal of the Haihan Defense Ministry. As for Ryukyu, it needed to provide troops.

Military pay for stationed and Ryukyu soldiers.

In this way, Haihan obtained three barracks and two military ports in Ryukyu, as well as an amphibious battalion that could be deployed in wartime. It can be said that he was indirectly in charge of Ryukyu's national security.

Although Ryukyu does not have the right to command that army, it saves the cost of arms procurement and personnel training, and obtains defense power at a very low cost. It is likely that Haihan will be able to train military talents on his behalf for a long time, and Donglai will not suffer at all.

.

The Ryukyu soldiers that the Su family and his son saw who were proficient in using Haihan weapons belonged to that amphibious camp. Their service environment was basically the same as that of the Haihan army, so their performance in such exchange activities would naturally be no different.

.

The worries of the Su family and his son were not entirely useless. After the Ryukyu model came into operation, some small countries in the South China Sea also wanted to follow suit. Once it became a trend, it would not be easy for the East India Company to have a good confinement tomorrow.

.

The situation of most of those countries is similar to that of Ryukyu. None of the surrounding countries are powerful, and even if they expand their military, they will still be able to defeat others. However, their own conditions are limited, and they are unable to form an advanced armed force that is Chinese-style across the sea. The common defense system provided by Haihan for Ryukyu,

A good example of whether it solves their needs.

And once that model is rolled out in the South China Sea, the Haihan Army will be able to have additional troops from multiple countries in just a few years, while further strengthening its control over those countries.

Colonial armed forces like the Dutch East India Company could have obtained cheap resources by exploiting small countries, but after those small countries had Haihan's support, the Dutch's habitual use of force to threaten their legs would no longer be so good.

Did it.

During the afternoon exchange activities, each participating country had its share of joys and sorrows, but overall, everyone gained something.

There is one thing that all countries have reached a consensus on, and that is that Hainan's military strength is still at a unique level. Other countries can still catch up and imitate, but there are few nuclear weapons that can equal it.

The strength of walking flatly.

The reason why Chen Yixin stayed until noon to leave was to support the officers of the small imperial court in northern Korea. After all, those officers had received training in the northern region, and in name they could be considered Chen Yixin's disciples, who had learned from him.

The friendship of disciples.

That lunch could be regarded as the practice banquet prepared by the executive committee for Chen Yixin. After everything happened here, Chen Yixin would have to return to the north.

Shi Diwen had prepared a carriage for him in advance, and drove quickly from Yuhang to Hangzhou, passing through the city without stopping, and arrived at the mouth of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal at dinner time.

A steam speedboat from the East China Sea Fleet was already waiting here. After Chen Yihao said something strange, the speedboat unmoored and left the shore, heading towards Hangzhou Bay.

That kind of steam speedboat has a displacement of less than a hundred tons and a speed of more than twelve knots. It is generally used as a reconnaissance boat in the military. However, because of the limited endurance of its steam power system, it can generally be used offshore or in conjunction with a supply ship.

used by the fleet.

Of course, we occasionally receive special missions to transport highly requested people or items in a hurry.

Early in the morning of the next month, the speedboat sailed into Hangzhou Bay and successfully rendezvoused with the Northern Fleet warships waiting at sea. After Chen Yixin transferred, he ordered the Eastern Order to return to Zhifu Port, Shandong at full speed. At the same time, he ordered the signal corps to send troops to several ships in the Northern Region.

A telegram was sent to the military base and all personnel entered a state of combat readiness.

When traveling to the waters near Jiaozhou Bay, Chen Yixin met up with an armed fleet sailing out of Qingdao Port.

At present, the Northern Fleet has three naval bases in Lushun Port, Zhifu Port and Qingdao Port. Before the war, combat ships will be concentrated in the direction of the Bohai Sea.

The garrison troops at the Datong River base on the Korean Peninsula also returned to Shandong by boat the month before last, leaving less than 500 people stationed in the east.

The only issue that Chen Yixin is currently worried about is whether the Manchu Qing Congress in the valley will not take advantage of the northern region to transfer all combat troops to the direction of the Ming Dynasty and send troops to cause chaos at that juncture.

Therefore, even though he gave the Executive Committee a guaranteed vote, Chen Yixin was very cautious in leaving some troops in Liaodong to keep an eye on the movements of the Manchus and Qing Dynasties.

When the fleet arrived at Zhifu Port, the military port pier on the west side of Zhifu Island was already filled with large and small warships.

As for whether it is possible to complete the troop projection across the Bohai Bay, in addition to the warships of the Northern Fleet, Chen Yixin also mobilized hundreds of civilian ships in Shandong and Liaodong respectively. At this time, they have basically gathered in the two places.

naval port.

After Chen Yixin got off the ship, he did not bother to return to Majiazhuang to visit his family first, so he immediately summoned officers from all ministries for a meeting.

It was about two days before the launch of the operation agreed with Shi Diwen. Although the preparations were basically in progress, Chen Yixin did not dare to be careless at all.

In that battle, was it natural to win? After all, the strength gap between the two sides was on the table, and Haihan had spent more time preparing for it. But if Dongshan performed poorly under such conditions,
