Chapter 2925
In 1656, the city of Manila had doubled the size of the city during the Spanish rule. The original old city became the seat of various government offices, including important departments such as the Regional Management Committee.
The new urban area that radiates from the periphery of the old city is the fastest growing area in recent years.The government provided a unified and complete planning and infrastructure for the new urban area. Most of the new immigrants who moved to Manila after the war would choose to buy land and properties in this area and build houses.
Looking from the heights of the old city, one can see that the buildings of the new city have been connected with the harbor several miles away.The avenue connecting the old city and the port runs through the new city, just like the main artery of the city, continuously delivering supplies for the entire city of Manila.Today, more than 12 people have settled in the city of Manila, which is already the largest city in the South China Sea region.
In addition to the urban area centered on Manila City, there is another area that is also very lively, and that is the Cavite Peninsula opposite the urban area across the sea.
The Cavite peninsula was an important armed fortress during the Spanish rule, guarding the Manila port twenty miles away like a barrier, and its geographical location is very important.After the Haihan army invaded the Gulf, they first attacked Cavite and then the Port of Manila.
After Haihan occupied Manila, he set up the naval station on the Cavite peninsula, and later simply designated the entire Cavite peninsula as a military zone.Today, this is not only the base of the Fourth Detachment of the South China Sea Fleet, but the Fourth Division of the Army also uses it as a training base for troops.In the end, in order to maintain the timeliness of the command system, Xiao Liang simply moved the garrison headquarters from Manila.
Except for the city defense troops stationed in Manila City, which are changed every half a month, almost all the local garrisons are concentrated in the Cavite peninsula.Both the navy and the army, coupled with a large number of military families, and various commercial organizations that follow, have made the Cavite peninsula a new urban area with a population of tens of thousands.
In recent years, apart from routine sea and land patrols, the garrison troops have not had many combat tasks to perform, so strict military control is rarely implemented on the Cavite Peninsula.However, the recent situation seems to have changed. The army has canceled everyone's vacation arrangements, and the alert level of the camp has also been raised.
It is said that some military families have already received wind that the Manila garrison may have received certain tasks and will soon go overseas.
This kind of rumor has not been officially confirmed, but people with a keen sense of smell have noticed that some products on the market have begun to increase in price, or even out of stock.This means that someone is quietly making large-scale purchases, and this phenomenon is one of the harbingers of war.
Under such circumstances, many people began to pay attention to the movements of the local administrator Qiu Yuan.Especially some leading figures in the local area are eager to confirm the authenticity of the war rumors as soon as possible.
And these people all received the same news today, Qiu Yuan left the city of Manila and took a naval ship to the Cavite base in Manila port.At such a sensitive moment, Qiu Yuan went to inspect the garrison troops, which seemed a little unusual.
In fact, Qiu Yuan was not the only high-ranking official who went to inspect the Cavite base on this day, but also the army general Haru Gong who had announced his retirement.
Harugong himself was of Mongolian origin, and in his early years he actually had the idea of going north to seek his roots, but after participating in the battle against Manila, the executive committee asked him and Xiao Liang to stay there and make arrangements after the situation stabilized.Unexpectedly, during this stay, I never moved again, and stayed in Manila until I retired.
Harukon's specialty is domesticating war horses and training cavalry, but the environment of the Philippine Islands does not allow him to fully develop his skills.However, the executive committee provided him with excellent conditions, allowing him to run the horse farm and breed war horses with peace of mind. In the end, Harukong chose to stay and settle in Manila.
Although Harugong stayed on, his two sons managed to go out. The eldest son Ha Jianyi was appointed as a special envoy by the executive committee and sent to travel in the north. The youngest son Ha Jianzhong took up the post at a young age. The post of head of the Eighth Army Division is currently stationed in Cam Ranh Port, Annan.And this kind of treatment is probably not the result of Haru Gong's dedication over the years.
It has been many years since Harugong bid farewell to the battlefield, and he voluntarily announced his retirement before he turned [-]. But when he heard that the executive committee was preparing to launch a new round of military operations in the South China Sea, and the troops stationed in various places had corresponding combat missions, This really made him unable to sit still.
Xiao Liang, who had worked with him for many years, couldn't guess what he was thinking. When he came back from the meeting in Cam Ranh Port, he invited Haru Gong out of the mountain again and asked him to participate in the formulation of the follow-up battle plan.Today, a few people came to the Cavite base together to check the preparations of the garrison troops.
After watching multiple training subjects of the army with Qiu Yuan and Xiao Liang, Harugong raised concerns about the current state of preparation for war: "I think it is better not to rush into action, and we should set aside a little more time for the troops to train. Especially It is this part of the troops who have just changed their weapons and equipment, if they are not familiar with the performance of the new weapons, they may not be able to exert their due effectiveness after entering the battlefield, and they may not be as good as the original combat effectiveness."
Xiao Liang responded: "Old Ha, you are right, but we must be ahead of the curve and take the first action to make the executive committee notice our ability. Only with our achievements can we propose further changes to the executive committee. Many demands."
Haru Gong said: "But our troops have been out of battle for a long time, if we act too hastily, I'm afraid something will go wrong."
"It is precisely because of the long-lost battle formation that the stupid bird needs to fly first. Otherwise, when other places start to move, the limelight will be completely taken away." Qiu Yuan took the conversation and said: "We have waited for so many years for such an opportunity, If we still can’t grasp it, do we have time to wait for the next opportunity?”
Harugong remained silent, he didn't fully agree with Qiu Yuan's statement, but he also knew that what Qiu Yuan said was indeed an objective fact.
Among the troops participating in this operation, although Qian Tiandun's special warfare division is only a remnant, its land combat strength is definitely the first, and it is difficult for other troops to compete with it.
The second detachment stationed at Cam Ranh Port is recognized as the most powerful among the four fleets under the South China Sea Fleet, and its strength is of course higher than the fourth detachment in Manila.
Xingdao's troops are known for their actual combat experience. It's no secret that Roger privately arranged for the troops to go abroad as mercenaries.Although the strength is not comparable to Qian Tiandun's special warfare division, it must be far superior to the inexperienced Luzon garrison troops.
In such a comparison, the military strength of the Luzon region is undoubtedly the weakest. If you can't grab the first prize, you may really have no sense of existence when the other troops start to move.At that time, no matter whether it is to expand the number of troops or to upgrade the equipment, it may be difficult to win the favor of the executive committee.
