At dawn, a bright red firework suddenly rose from the silent sea, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.
Seeing the signal flare fired from the flagship, the troop carrier on the nearby sea started to set off as planned, sailing to the bay at the southern tip of Langkawi Island.
Different from yesterday's attack on Penang Island, the Ninth Army Division and the Third Detachment of the South China Sea Fleet, who were the main attackers today, did not use artillery fire to open the way for landing, but directly dispatched troop carriers to the landing target.
This simple tactic was formulated by Roger, who personally served as the commander. He believed that there was no armed force on Langkawi Island capable of interrupting the Haihan Army's landing operation, so there was no need to create chaos and land quietly at dawn. Help your side quickly control the situation on the island.
And the landing forces invested today will also greatly exceed the previous operations to land on Penang Island.An infantry regiment under the Ninth Army Division and a battalion of the South China Sea Special Warfare Brigade, the ace unit under Roger, acted as the vanguard of the landing operation.
After they established a beachhead, another regiment from the Ninth Army Division and a battalion from the Special Warfare Division would follow up to supplement the troops landing on the island.
The reason why so many troops were sent ashore was that Roger mainly considered that there were a large number of people living near the bay where he landed. Controlling these populations meant having a batch of cheap labor, which would help Haihan occupy the island. Some infrastructure works that need to be implemented immediately.
There was originally a small fishing port built in the bay. Although the port facilities are simple and far from being compared with mature commercial ports, troop carriers do not have high requirements for the landing environment. Even the most primitive wooden trestle bridge, or the flat Rapid docking can be achieved in shallow waters.
Although some fishermen who got up early spotted the landing boat coming from the sea, this kind of situation was really rare, and they didn't react immediately.The fishermen didn't understand what was going on until the boats began to dock and countless soldiers flooded the shore from the boats.
Almost without encountering any decent resistance, the landing Haihan army quickly took control of the port.After a quick regroup, they marched to the nearby villages in company units.
Two hours later, when the dust settled, Roger and his party landed on the island at the same place.
As the commanders of the first batch of troops to land on the island, the two brothers Luo Shenghuai and Luo Shengding reported the progress of the current operation to Roger and others.
The Haihan army has preliminarily controlled the settlements near the bay, and the specific situation of the local residents needs further investigation and registration.
During this process, the Haihan army basically encountered no organized resistance, sporadic rebels were quickly suppressed, and there were no casualties in the Haihan army.
The official agencies set up by Kedah on the island have also been controlled by the Haihan Army, and all relevant personnel have been arrested.
At present, the South China Sea Special Warfare Brigade is rushing to several villages and towns on the west side of the island, and it is expected to complete the control of all settlements on the island before dark today.
"We will gather all the islanders near this bay and start the construction of Langkawi Port as soon as possible."
Roger pointed to the nearby fishing port wharf, and continued: "We must first improve the port facilities here, so as to facilitate the development of this place. Here we need larger berths, spreaders for loading and unloading goods, and warehouses for storing materials... If our actions Fast enough, and within a year we could turn this into a trading port."
Compared with Penang, Roger is obviously more optimistic about the development prospects of Langkawi Island.However, this does not mean that Roger is ready to give up Penang, but that the local area is not suitable for the development of port functions.
Qian Tiandun asked, "What do you plan to do with the Kedah officials?"
Roger said meaningfully: "Since we are stationed here in the name of fighting pirates, someone must be responsible for the existence of pirates."
Of course, Qian Tiandun would not have the kindness of a woman, nodded and said: "It must be done more carefully, at least Aceh and Portugal must be able to account for the past."
Roger said: "Calculating the time, the envoys from Aceh should arrive here tomorrow, and bring the Portuguese one along with them at that time, and show them the evidence we have seized."
Prior to this, Roger had notified Aceh officials of his plan to send troops to suppress pirates through the diplomatic personnel stationed in Banda Aceh.However, the specific action goals were not directly informed to the other party, but announced to Aceh in stages according to Haihan's action process.
The purpose of doing this is to ensure Aceh's right to know as a partner, and not let its participation in the action get in the way.The same strategy was originally used for Portugal, but I did not expect that Lopez would immediately catch up with the fleet passing through the city of Malacca, and had to make separate arrangements for the Portuguese.
Although there was no fierce battle to seize control of these islands, Haihan still needed to take some "technical measures" in order to dispel doubts from other countries in consideration of diplomatic influence.
As Roger expected, the Aceh envoy arrived at Langkawi the next morning.Although the Portuguese arrived here from Penang yesterday, they have not been allowed to go to the island. Until then, they were arranged to go to the island with the Aceh special envoy to confirm Haihan's "war results" here.
The special envoy sent by Aceh was a member of the royal family named Kaza, who had visited Xingdao before, so he was an old acquaintance of Roger.
"Lord Roger, please forgive me. As your country's loyal partner, your arrangement is unreasonable. I think there should be a better way of cooperation between us in the fight against pirates."
After Kaza saw Roger, he complained unceremoniously.
But Roger knew that Kaza's complaint was not that Haihan had not notified Aceh in advance to send troops to act together, but that he arranged for him to go to the island with the Portuguese.
The feud between Aceh and Portugal has a long history. The two sides have been fighting continuously in the past hundred years. There have been at least four large-scale wars with detailed fighting records.
The competition between the two countries in the shopping malls is no less intense than the battlefield.For a long period of time before Sing Tao became a trading port, the cities of Banda Aceh and Malacca had been competing for the status of the trading center in the Straits region.
Generally speaking, official personnel of the two countries will only meet on two occasions, one is on the battlefield, and the other is at the negotiating table.Even if it is a diplomatic event hosted by Haihan, the relationship between these two families will generally be taken into consideration and try not to arrange for them to meet face-to-face.
But today, on this special occasion, Kaza actually saw the Portuguese appearing here. Of course, he has every reason to be dissatisfied.
"Lord Roger, please don't forget that Kedah is a vassal state of our country, and our country has the right to decide who can and who cannot come to this island!"
Seeing that Roger didn't respond to him, Kaza simply spoke more clearly.
