"Good news, good news! Our army has won a great victory! The Luzon region has sent troops to the south, fought for thousands of miles, won consecutive battles, and conquered several cities in the western chiefs!"
The newspaper boy excitedly waved the newspaper in his hand and shouted to passers-by.After hearing this, many people stopped, took money out of their purses to buy a newspaper, and read the latest battle report published on it.
It has been more than a month since the Executive Committee announced the military plan for the South China Sea. Just as people were speculating about when the Haihan Army would take action, the first battle report finally came.
Although everyone could have expected that the Haihan army would win as usual, when the news came out, everyone couldn't help but buy a newspaper and read it carefully.Even lower Liba people who are not very literate will sit in a teahouse after work, buy a cup of the cheapest tea, and listen to Mr. Shu explain the latest news published in the newspaper.
The two newspapers, Haihan Times and Sanya Express, even showed their talents, and both wanted to use this rare subject to make a fuss and increase the circulation of the newspaper.
As an official media, Haihan Times has a reliable official news channel, and most of the battle reports published come from first-hand information provided by the Ministry of National Defense.The Ministry of National Defense also intends to let Haihan Times increase its coverage of this military operation in order to build momentum for the upcoming winter conscription.
Therefore, in the battle report published by the Haihan Times, there is no lack of some very specific information, such as where the Haihan army attacked in a few months and days, the length of the battle, the number of enemies killed and captured, etc., so that the audience can understand the front line very intuitively. battle situation.
The Sanya Express spent all its money to fight with its old rivals. Not only did it plan a series of reports on this military operation early, but it also sent reporters to the main garrison bases in the South China Sea at any cost to let them follow the troops. Collect information nearby and publish it, and then send it back to the agency by telegram, so as to ensure the timeliness of these news.
The reporting strategy of Sanya Express is very clear, which is to highlight the characteristics that the Haihan Times does not have.You have the action progress information provided by the military, and I have front-line interviews with reporters; you report on the macro-war situation, and I write personal stories.
In this way, the battle reports of the two newspapers are also considered to have their own characteristics, and the sales volume is quite good.And this kind of competition has also provided the outside world with more information channels to understand the war in the South China Sea.
At this time, the father and son of the Su family in the Dutch embassy were studying the latest battle reports published in these two newspapers.
More than a month ago, these two newspapers published commemorative reports on the 21st anniversary of the Battle of Victory Port in Haixi. Su Yongshan sent the Clippers back to Batavia.
Originally, Su Keyi expected that it would take a few months for Haihan to dispatch troops, but he did not expect that the Luzon region would implement it so quickly, and he had already started to attack the Spanish colony in the direction of the Philippine Islands.
While reading the battle report, the father and son checked the map of the South China Sea spread out on the table to find the locations mentioned in the battle report.Although they have never been to the Philippine Islands, with the map as a reference, they can roughly understand the progress of the Haihan Army's operations.
"Father, judging from these battle reports, my child infers that the first phase of the Haihan Army's operation is to wipe out all the Spanish settlements within a radius of one thousand miles south of Manila." After Su Yongshan studied the map, Finally came to a conclusion.
Su Keyi asked: "Do you know why it is in this range?"
Su Yongshan replied uncertainly: "This may be because the Haihan army attacked from multiple directions, and can only guarantee reliable logistical support for military operations within this range."
Su Keyi nodded slightly and said: "You're right. The Haihan army is fierce in battle, but its shortcoming is also very obvious, that is, it relies heavily on logistics. Once the supply is interrupted, the combat effectiveness of the Haihan army will plummet. This is also the case. One of the main reasons why Haihan only occupies the coast in Daming and does not go deep into the interior."
Su Yongshan said: "According to this, the Haihan army will first convert these occupied areas into transit supply points before continuing to launch an offensive southward."
Su Keyi said: "This process may be much faster than you think. I don't think the Haihan army will spend too much time in these settlements."
Su Yongshan asked: "Didn't you analyze last time that once Haihan attacked the Spaniards, they would no longer just sweep up the settlements as before, but would implement long-term occupation. It will probably take a year or two to immigrate locally, right?"
"You have to look at this issue in light of the information disclosed in the battle report." Su Keyi patiently analyzed to his son: "You can see here that it is stated that not only the regular army of the Fourth Army Division and the South China Sea Fleet participated in this military operation. , and there are many militia units under the jurisdiction of the Luzon Region."
"What does this mean?" Su Keyi looked at his son and said, "With the capabilities of the Haihan army, the regular army is enough to defeat the local Spanish armed forces. Why do they need to invest a large number of militias? Is it because the Haihan people think that the military expenditure is too much to use up?" I think the only reason to mobilize the militia is that a large number of armed men is needed to complete the long-term occupation of the conquered area, so that the regular army can be freed up to continue the offensive."
"Furthermore, it was also mentioned in the battle report that after a short rest, all participating troops will go to the next step. I don't think this is a false threat. This time, the Spaniards may not be able to pass by as they did in previous years. .”
Su Yongshan said: "But I think it's a little strange. The Luzon region has not carried out many military operations in recent years, and it is often done as a show. It went to the south for an armed parade and then went back. This time it was so active, even What's the reason for dispatching ahead of Qian Tiandun's special forces?"
Su Keyi said: "I didn't even think about this as a father. It is reasonable to say that the Haihan Executive Committee transferred Qian Tiandun and the Special Warfare Division to the South China Sea. They should be the main force in military operations, but the Luzon Region is not I don’t know what’s the secret of being ahead of the curve.”
The Su family's father and son never imagined that the Luzon region would take action so quickly, mainly because they wanted to grab the first prize, increase their influence, and prepare for the next step of upgrading equipment, expanding the scale of armed forces and military budget.Otherwise, if the Special Warfare Division is allowed to act first on the west side of the South China Sea, it will not be so easy to win the headlines on the newspaper.
One of the reasons for dispatching the militia to free up the main combat troops to continue to advance south is also to grab as much progress as possible as soon as possible, so that domestic attention can be kept in the direction of the Philippine Islands.Of course, it is difficult for the Su family father and son, as outsiders, to notice these small calculations.
