Chapter 2955
Compared with the Luzon region, which took the lead in launching the operation, Haihan prepared to invest a larger force on the west side of the South China Sea.Even if Qian Tiandun's special warfare division is not counted, the strength of the naval and land troops stationed in Annan is quite impressive.
The Eighth Army Division has mobilized the Tushan Battalion, the Da Nang Battalion, and the Cam Ranh Independent Battalion to Cam Ranh Port. Together with the Navy from the Second South Sea Fleet, the total strength has reached 3000.
If the special warfare division and the logistics and supply units are included together, there will be about six to 7000 people participating in the operation, far exceeding the size of the Haihan Army that is fighting in the Philippine Islands.And this is only the troops assembled in the Indochina Peninsula, and the participating troops of Xingdao have not been included in the calculation for the time being.
There is no doubt that this will be the largest military operation in the South China Sea since the founding of Haihan, and it has even surpassed Qian Tiandun's initial plan for this matter.
But what is quite intriguing is that in this vast area east of the Straits of Malacca and north of Java Island, there seems to be no opponent with comparable strength to Haihan.Especially the western colonists from outside the region, currently maintain decent diplomatic relations with Haihan, and there is no such hostile force as Spain.
Of course, even so, the actions of the Haihan army will inevitably arouse the vigilance of others. If the Haihan army is heading towards its own territory, then who can withstand the attack of the Haihan army?
"Lord Qiu, I really don't understand what your country is planning to do with such a huge military operation?"
The person who asked the question was Gabriel, a Portuguese businessman. As early as a month ago, he had sent back to Malacca the news that Haihan had assembled an army in Cam Ranh Port, but the reply he received was only to let him continue to monitor the movements of the troops stationed in Cam Ranh Port. , to collect relevant information.
Although such an arrangement seems somewhat irresponsible, Gabriel can understand Malacca's difficulties.
What else?There are only a dozen old warships in the city of Malacca, musketeers, artillery, and local indigenous soldiers. There are only about [-] people in total. Such a small number of troops is not enough to put in front of the Haihan army, except to pray for the Haihan army. The target of action is not oneself, and there seems to be no better way.
Comprehension is understanding, but it can't dispel Gabriel's strong anxiety caused by it.During this period of time, he couldn't eat well and sleep well, and every day he was thinking about the real purpose of Haihan's large-scale deployment of troops in the South China Sea.
And the place he visited the most recently has also changed from his own commercial storehouse to a restaurant near the military port. You can also have a panoramic view of the assembly situation in Hong Kong.
According to his observation, no troop carrier has arrived in the area in recent days, and the build-up of the Haihan Army seems to have come to an end.Moreover, it is reported that the Haihan Army has started a military operation against the Spaniards in the Philippine Islands. Obviously, the launch of the Cam Ranh Port Garrison is close at hand.
Gabriel didn't have the patience to wait any longer, and today he specially asked Qiu Zhiguo, the Civil Affairs Officer of Cam Ranh Port, out for dinner, hoping to get some more information from him.
Qiu Zhiguo didn't answer his question directly. He looked out of the window and said, "The scenery here is pretty good. You can see the waterway in and out of Cam Ranh Bay, and the naval base opposite."
Gabriel heard that the other party seemed to mean something, so he was not in a hurry to talk.
Qiu Zhiguo went on to say: "I heard from the shopkeeper here that you have been here for more than ten days in a row, and you have asked for the seat with the best view every day. You come in the morning and leave after dark. I think this should not be the case. Just to see the scenery, or addicted to the food and drink here?"
Cold sweat broke out on Gabriel's back immediately.One of his tasks in Cam Ranh Port was to collect local intelligence, but he was not a professional intelligence officer, and he didn't realize that he had become Hai Han's surveillance target.If he is convicted of this crime, it may be difficult to escape unscathed.
Gabriel quickly explained: "It's not what you think, I have a shipment that has been late for many days, so I want to wait here to see when that ship will arrive at the port..."
Qiu Zhiguo raised his hand, motioning him not to continue: "Actually, I'm not interested in your reasons, I just want you to understand one thing, if we plan to do something to your country's colonies in the South China Sea, then you must There is no chance to sit in this place. Let alone more than ten days in a row, it is impossible for a single day."
Gabriel moved his lips a few times, but in the end he didn't say anything, he could only nod his head to show that he understood.He said so many mistakes, he knew that no matter how he explained it now, it could only be tantamount to sophistry in the other party's ears.
Qiu Zhiguo went on to say: "From now on, Jinlan Port has entered a state of military control, and all civilian ships are suspended from leaving the port. Even if you see something here, there is no way to spread the news. So don't do anything, just stay at ease!"
Gabriel said in amazement: "Military control? Why didn't you see the announcement?"
Qiu Zhiguo said with a smile: "I said it will take effect immediately. When you go out, you will see the announcement on the street."
Now that Cam Ranh Port has been under military control and no news can be sent out, Gabriel is relieved and feels much more relaxed.He asked Qiu Zhiguo: "Will Cam Ranh Port be blocked until your country's army operation is over?"
Qiu Zhiguo shook his head slightly and said, "It won't take that long, just a few days. After the troops move out one after another, the control of Jinlan Port will be lifted and return to normal."
Gabriel hesitated again and again, but he repeated the question mentioned earlier: "What is your country planning to do with such a big fight?"
Qiu Zhiguo said: "What do you think we want to do, that's what it is."
"Occupy more territory?" Gabriel asked tentatively.
Qiu Zhiguo didn't make a sound, picked up the wine glass and drank it on his own.
"Establish a route to the Indian Ocean?"
"Perhaps you want to go further afield?"
Qiu Zhiguo did not respond to his question, but he did not deny his speculations.
Although Gabriel didn't get the answer, he seemed to understand something.Facing the sumptuous table of wine and food in front of him, he completely lost his appetite.
Qiu Zhiguo simply ate some food and wine, and saw that Gabriel was no longer interested in talking, so he took the initiative to leave.
Before leaving, Qiu Zhiguo tapped on the table lightly and said: "In the future, if you want to know anything, you can come to us directly, don't sit here, this seat is not reserved for you."
Gabriel was startled when he heard the words, and immediately understood what Qiu Zhiguo meant.
Haihan officials certainly know that this place is a good place to monitor the military port, but this is not a bait. Before that, it is unknown how many spies and spies took the initiative to bite the bait here.I haven't been arrested after coming here for so many days, probably because my uncle Costa is the chief executive of Malacca City, and Haihan wants to show some face.
