The explanation of the current situation by the two senior officials was only to the point, Liu Shang still couldn't get enough of what he heard, and after the meeting, he was still pondering over the information he had just heard in his mind.Seeing his distraught appearance, Su Yu took the initiative to ask, "What's the matter, are you going to apply to open up wasteland in Liaodong?"
Liu Shang came back to his senses and replied with a smile: "It's almost unbearable in Shandong, how can I have the courage to go to Liaodong! I was just thinking that the decision-making of the Executive Committee will never suffer, even if a war is launched I have already figured out how to get my money back."
Su Yu said sternly: "The executive committee is wise, so it goes without saying. Our country has never lost money in launching a foreign war. Therefore, although the battle with Houjin in Liaodong cost a lot, at the time Victory Fort was reviewing When it came to the war budget, all departments passed it unanimously without any hindrance."
The battle against Liaodong started gradually after Haihan gained a firm foothold in Shandong, and several offensives had been launched within the year, but this time the Beishang cadre team encountered the largest battle scale.The preparations for the battle had naturally been going on a long time ago, and Liu Shang hadn't even arrived on Hainan Island at that time.After listening to Su Yu's description, he thought that if the six ministries of the Ming Dynasty could unite like this and call on the whole country to support the war against Hou Jin, perhaps the situation on the northern front would not be as tight as it is now.
Liu Shangdao: "The executive committee has a far-sighted view, and can judge that Daming is in danger. Could it be that the Ministry of Security sent a large number of people to sneak into Daming to make this judgment."
Su Yu is not from the Ministry of Security, but he has gotten very close to the Ministry of Security recently because of the immigration case.Although Liu Shang didn't intend to inquire about any confidential information, he also habitually wanted to know more information, even if it was just a few words.
Su Yu was silent for a moment this time before responding: "I don't know the inside story about this matter, but with the staffing of the Ministry of Security, I'm afraid there won't be such a big commotion. The Ministry of Security only has a few dozen people in the Shandong base. The chief is already in charge in person, so how much battle will it take to deploy an intelligence network in Daming? In my opinion, the chiefs probably have some special channel for news!"
Liu Shang nodded slowly and said: "It makes sense. With the superior skills of the chiefs, there may be other ways to collect this information!"
There are too many things in the country of Haihan that cannot be explained by common sense, and they will all be attributed to the extraordinary abilities of the chiefs—the true origin of this group of people has always been an unsolved mystery.Liu Shang has not been in Haihan for a long time, but he is also used to categorizing unexplainable phenomena into this category, and there seems to be nothing wrong with this.
Of course, even if they thought about it, they would never have imagined that the chiefs who were regarded as gods by them did not have any special information channels, but had already known about the development trend of this period of history.They even knew exactly what year, month and day Emperor Chongzhen was hanged in Meishan, and naturally they also grasped the progress of the war between the Hou Jin and the Ming Dynasty.And the development of Haihan really needs the peace of Ming Dynasty, so we can't just sit back and watch Houjin crush this empire step by step, we must take action to contain Houjin.
However, the history mastered by the traversers has been more or less changed in this time and space because of their appearance, especially after Haihan intervened in the war between Jin and Ming, the development track of the entire history will definitely change. There is a deviation from the original trend, so how many of these historical facts that have not yet happened will be fulfilled, and how much will be changed, no one knows now.Even if the traversers have good hands and eyes, they cannot fully predict the changes in the international situation that will be brought about after entering Liaodong.
At the celebration banquet, the theme will naturally return to the word "celebration".Although the army made more achievements during this expedition, the special warfare battalion as the main force stayed in Lushun and did not return. Only the cavalry battalion retreated with the navy fleet because of the weather. Shandong.Therefore, when the military achievements were announced, most of the parties involved in the army were not present.
Liu Shang listened carefully and found that the record this time was actually not that exaggerated. However, hundreds of enemies were killed and a few prisoners were taken. In a country-to-country war, it was only a small-to-medium scale battle. It was extremely limited, so they could not withstand Haihan's large-scale crusade this time.Of course, the strength of the two sides involved in the battle is not the focus of this battle. The military's claim to defeat cavalry with steps is what makes Liu Shang sigh.
Even people who don't live in the north have heard of the power of the Houjin iron cavalry. After all, even the Mongols, who are famous for their horseback ethnicity, have been severely suppressed by the Houjin army in recent years.And the most feared unit in the battle between Ming Dynasty and Houjin was the Houjin cavalry, who came and went like the wind, with flexible and changeable tactics.The Guanning iron cavalry used by the Ming Dynasty to guard the northern frontier still had a good record in the early years, but since the deaths of Mao Wenlong and Yuan Chonghuan, this elite army has gradually shown signs of decline, and now they dare not fight easily anymore.As for the infantry of the Ming Dynasty, it was even worse. They had basically given up fighting the Hou Jin army in the wild, and spent most of their time guarding the forts in the western Liaoning area.
How the infantry defeated the post-golden cavalry in a field environment, Liu Shang must not be able to figure it out out of thin air based on the military's brief record report.But he also knew that the Haihan army would never exaggerate too much about their achievements. A victory is a victory. It would not be possible to fabricate a battle situation like infantry and cavalry to deceive the upper and lower to gain military exploits. Presumably there must be some special tactics or weapons. It is used in the combat process that such unreasonable results will appear.
Liu Shang's guess was actually very close to the truth, but on this occasion, he couldn't immediately find relevant personnel to verify it. He could only write down the question silently, and try to find out the truth later.His current status is a political officer, and at the same time he is also in charge of propaganda tasks, so he can use business as a reason to ask the military about this matter, which is quite convenient.At this time, he was really grateful to Yu Xiaobao for giving him such a convenient official status, otherwise, he might not even have the opportunity to get involved with such important military and political affairs.
As the protagonist of the celebration banquet, the main event was naturally concentrated on the navy.But in fact, the naval fleet did not directly engage the enemy in this combat operation, and most of the time it only took on the tasks of landing cover and transporting personnel and materials.Only when the Jinzhou Isthmus was feinted in the later stage, did the Marine Corps land and confront the Houjin Army for two days.
However, compared with the record achieved by the Special Operations Battalion in Lushunkou, the performance of the Marine Corps in the Golden State Isthmus was not so good, and it was even a little passive for a time.If it wasn't for the fact that Hou Jin's garrison misjudged the situation and launched an offensive two days in a row, allowing the marines to rely on the position built in the abandoned fishing village to counterattack, it would not have been so easy for Haihan to create the illusion of a feint in the local area.If people from the two companies of the Marine Corps were to go out to attack the Golden State Isthmus, they would most likely be besieged in the wild by the Golden Cavalry, but they did not have the combat effectiveness of a special warfare battalion. It must have been bad.
So even though the navy is the protagonist at the celebration banquet, the military's announced achievements seem to be a bit of an understatement.With the record of the army unit as the jewel in the front, the navy is really not very good at boasting.Moreover, the navy suffered dozens of casualties during this expedition, and these aftermath matters alone had to keep them busy. Not only did they have to issue pensions to the families of these victims, but they also had to prepare materials one by one to claim credit for them.Although this is also a performance of combat bravery, in the face of the army's extremely low battle damage figures, there is no need to brag about such casualties.
The collectives and individuals commended by the military at the celebration banquet will not be rewarded immediately. Their military exploits have to be reported to Sanya, and will be finalized after review by the Ministry of National Defense and the Executive Committee.Although this back and forth is by telegram, it will take at least two weeks to complete all the procedures.
After announcing the military exploits, the next thing is to let go of eating and drinking.Regardless of the record of the troops returning from the front line, being able to come back from the battlefield intact and alive is something worth celebrating.Moreover, during the battle, the spirit was very tense, and the food and accommodation conditions were extremely difficult. After returning to Shandong, it was finally much easier.
Liu Shang saw that the navy was particularly relaxed. Many officers took off their coats and rolled up their sleeves, and began to drink and have fun with the soldiers. At the moment, he couldn't help but feel a little strange. Haihan has always been strict in military discipline, and this celebration banquet turned out to be so fun. ?
As if seeing his doubts, Su Yu took the initiative to explain to him: "The navy will take a day off tomorrow, and will set off again the day after tomorrow, so the chiefs will give them such great freedom."
Liu Shang was stunned and said, "Do you want to continue fighting?"
"That's not true." Su Yu shook his head and said, "It's already winter, and the coasts in many places in the north will gradually start to freeze, so the navy fleet will choose to go south in winter, spend the winter in Zhoushan, Zhejiang, and finish the ship at the shipyard there. maintenance. The fleet will return to Shandong after the spring of next year.”
"So according to this, it was also arranged in the same way last year? Then there must be a group of immigrants going south together, right?" Liu Shang made inferences, and immediately thought of why Su Yu knew about the navy's itinerary.
Su Yu nodded and said: "After the winter, the last batch of immigrant fleets going south will go with the fleet, and the navy will take on the task of escorting by the way. Regarding the departure time of the last batch of southward flotilla this year, The Navy has notified our Ministry of Civil Affairs in advance."
"So that's how it is." After listening to the explanation, Liu Shang completely understood.
The Haihan Navy returns to the south every winter for the winter, and then returns to the north when the spring is warm and the harbor thaws. On the one hand, it is for the safety of the ships. On the other hand, it can also greatly reduce the consumption of materials in the Shandong-controlled area in winter.Moreover, when the navy returns to the south, it can continue to conduct daily training at sea in winter, so that it will not have to rest for several months due to sea conditions, which still has a considerable effect on maintaining the combat effectiveness of the troops.
"Since the special warfare battalion has been stationed in Liaodong, and the navy has returned to the south to rest, then there will be nothing to do in Shandong this winter?" Liu Shang quickly thought of the current situation in Shandong. The main combat troops are not here this winter. Locally, it seems that we can have a relatively leisurely winter.
But Su Yu shook his head and said: "How can it be so easy? This winter is for the troops to rest, not for us to rest. You have also heard from the chiefs that there will be large-scale military operations in Liaodong after the spring of next year. Winter is the preparation period, and there are many things to be busy. Just the materials that need to be transported to Lushun through Shandong, I don’t know how many there are.”
What Su Yu said is right, the winter that has come is definitely not an easy season for the logistics departments such as civil affairs, transportation, and construction.Take Su Yu's civil affairs department as an example. In addition to organizing a group of immigrants to go south, they also have to select a group of people to settle in Lushun in the near future, assist the military in building infrastructure locally, and accept Han refugees who have fled south. After the spring of next year, the fields near Lushun Fort will be reclaimed, so as to make the food needed by the local area self-sufficient as soon as possible, and reduce the pressure of transporting supplies across the sea.
As for the transportation department, this winter will organize the transportation of a large amount of combat materials from the south, and then transfer them to Liaodong. Most of the materials will be transported to the front before the spring offensive begins, so that it will be easier for the military to go to Liaodong. many.Of course, during this process, the shipping department also needs to connect with the military, and the relevant personnel are also very busy during this period.
The most important task is probably the construction department. In addition to the endless construction of various infrastructures, they have to assist the garrison in Liaodong this winter to build houses and roads leading to Lushun Port.The construction speed of this kind of winter project will be very slow, and it will also be an extremely difficult test for the construction personnel.
The political department where Liu Shang works is relatively relaxed, there is not so much physical work to do, and most of them are errands that take the brains to write propaganda manuscripts.However, Liu Shang himself had other ideas. He planned to find an opportunity to chat with senior military officials to see if he could temporarily assign his work to the military.In the coming year's war, the military's demand for political workers will definitely be indispensable, and he can also take this opportunity to get more in touch with the inside story of Haihan's military.
Although collecting this information may not give him a chance to send it back to Daming, Liu Shang always felt that if he didn't do anything, he would really regret the opportunity to go north and come to Shandong this time.Although coming here was not what he wanted, but he had already decided that if he came, he would be safe. Since he was going to stay here for a long time, it would not hurt to know more about the inside story.
