Chapter 111
Hanoi was occupied, the French colonial army was annihilated, and tens of thousands of prisoners were taken.
This news immediately shocked the whole of Asia.
Later, Chen Zhiming issued a telegram to the world in the name of the Renaissance Society.
The content of this telegram also frightened the powers.
To sum it up in a few words:
"Take up the banner of anti-empire and anti-colonialism."
If it had been shouted out before, others might not even look at it.
But now this Renaissance Society has annihilated and captured tens of thousands of colonial troops, and occupied the core city of Hanoi.
Naturally, it caused an uproar.
It also made many colonized countries ready to move.
However, they do not have the strength.
But the seed has been planted, just waiting for the day to sprout.
The French were surprisingly angry about this matter.
And this is also a particularly embarrassing thing.
What is Annan?
The Annanese are just a group of uncivilized monkeys in their eyes.
As a result, they were beaten by this group of monkeys.
And the loss is so great, how can they not be angry? Angry.
This incident caused a sensation throughout France.
Countless people demanded to take back Hanoi. France quickly passed the bill and prepared to send a large army to expedition to Annan.
The first batch of troops will be three divisions in size, totaling more than 50,000 people.
Fighter planes and fleets will also be sent.
This time they are serious.
At the same time, they also learned more details from Governor Sarzi.
The reason why they were defeated by this group of uncivilized monkeys is because the Ares Group on Borneo sold them a large number of advanced weapons.
And also helped them train troops.
It can be said that the Ares Group is the culprit of all this.
For the time being, France has no better way to deal with the Renaissance Army.
28 They only have more than 50,000 troops in Indochina.
Among them, only 15,000 are white.
The rest are hired locals. They are mainly used to maintain order and have no combat effectiveness at all.
So they directly pointed the spearhead at the Ares Group.
This also made the Ares Group located in Borneo enter the vision of these top European powers for the first time.
They were very curious about where the Ares Group got so many weapons.
France directly sent Blaise, the ambassador to China, to Borneo to ask for punishment.
However, when he saw that Walton Borg and others were all white, he was a little stunned and confused.
He was originally arrogant, but suddenly he couldn't be proud anymore.
"Who are you? Do you know that your behavior has seriously violated the interests of our French Republic?
You must stop this stupid behavior immediately.
Otherwise, you will bear the wrath of France."
Despite this, Minister Blaise started to speak out.
Although he didn't know who they were, they were just a private military company entrenched in Borneo.
Could they be the opponent of France?
Minister Blaise was very confident at this moment.
Walton Borg sneered,"Then I'm really scared, but I really want to see how terrible the wrath of France is.
I now express the attitude of our Ares Group.
All our actions are for making money.
Whoever dares to stop us from making money is our enemy.
Even France is no exception.
To borrow an old Chinese saying, when friends come, there are good wine, and when enemies come, there are shotguns.
No one can interfere in the affairs of our group."
Why does this tough conversation look so familiar to Minister Blaise?
Oh, yes.
The tone is exactly the same as that of the Chinese Gu Weijun.
They are all so tough.
This also made people doubt. Is the face of their French Empire so worthless?
Who dares to speak harshly in front of them?
But if so, let them see it.
Minister Blaise reported Waltonborg's words to the country intact.
It immediately aroused the anger of the French authorities.
It also attracted the attention of major powers.
This also made the Ares Group famous internationally.
Apart from anything else, it is very courageous to dare to confront France.
At this time, the Dutch began to be active. Come.
The importance of Borneo to them is self-evident.
It has the largest oil field in Southeast Asia.
It is also one of the largest sources of income for their colonies.
But now it has been forcibly occupied by the Ares Group that suddenly appeared.
And their national strength is weak, and they have no way to deal with the other party.
Now this Ares Group is actually ignorant of what is good for it and has provoked France.
Apart from anything else, in terms of comprehensive national strength, France is also among the top five.
The area of its colonies is second only to England, the empire on which the sun never sets.
It is definitely one of the top powers.
With the help of the French, perhaps they can hope to regain this lost land.
So the Dutch went directly to the French.
The two sides hit it off.
However The French were not without conditions.
After taking back Borneo, they needed a 50% stake in the oil fields.
The Dutch were very unhappy about this, but they had no choice but to accept it.
It was better than nothing.
This also made them very angry and aggrieved.
So they decided to send 20,000 troops and 6 warships to expedition to Borneo with the French.
The French troops also increased from three divisions to five divisions.
They will set out with the English Far East Fleet.
However, it will take several months for them to arrive.
It is hard to say whether the colonial forces in Indochina can hold on until that time.
But it is highly likely that they will not be able to hold on.
The Renaissance will become famous in one battle.
Let all All the Annamites saw the hope of driving out the French.
Chen Zhiming also became a hero to all the Annamites.
Chen Zhiming's Fuxing Army also began to expand without limit.
In a short period of time, the troops expanded to 30,000. They were directly recruiting towards the goal of 50,000.
The French evacuated very hastily this time, and they did not take a lot of financial resources with them.
Including the gold they hid, there was more than one ton. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
They were originally going to ship these back to the country.
Now it's cheap for Chen Zhiming.
This ton of gold is worth more than one million US dollars if converted into US dollars.
There are also other jewelry and the like, with a total value of more than three million US dollars.
In addition, there are a lot of francs.[]
There are more than 10 million, which is about 2 million in US dollars.
Add up to 5 million US dollars.
Chen Zhiming stuffed all these financials to the Ares Group.
The Ares Group also began to transport a large amount of weapons, equipment, ammunition and various materials to Annan.
More than 1,000 instructors were sent to Hanoi to help them train their troops.
They must complete the initial training within three months.
In this way, they can better face the expeditionary force from France.
Jiang Fan also saw the situation in Indochina.
This move played a very important role.
If you can control Indochina, it is equivalent to controlling the entire Southeast Asia.
What's more, Annan is also rich in resources and food.
These things are very important to China.
The total oil reserves are as high as 1.2 billion tons, coal reserves are more than 3 billion tons, iron ore reserves are more than 2 billion tons, titanium reserves are 15 million tons, copper mines are as high as 10 million tons, and bauxite reserves are more than 4 billion tons.
There are also other rich mineral resources.
This is a treasure land of resources.
Although China is known for its vast land and abundant resources, it does not have enough resources with such a large population.
Moreover, how could Jiang Fan complain about having too many resources? Besides
, let's not talk about anything else.
The French are colonizing on China's doorstep, so they must be driven away no matter what.
The next step is to replicate this anti-colonial wave in Myanmar.
That will surely set off an anti-colonial wave in Southeast Asia and even Asia.
Until this wave spreads to the Middle East.
This is one of the main targets.
It is definitely worth setting up a sub-base in the Middle East.
But now is not the time yet.
"Commander, we can almost close the net on the Chosun Peninsula."
Ling Liang came back from the front line of the Chosun Peninsula again and brought more detailed information to Jiang Fan.
The Fourth Army is currently unstoppable and has directly broken through the multi-layered defense lines of the Japanese army.
It has directly reached the vicinity of Yangpyeong.
This is also the place where Ling Liang chose for the decisive battle.
When Yangpyeong was threatened, the Japanese army really began to worry.
They began to mobilize more troops to support the battle in Yangpyeong.
At present, there are more than 6 divisions in the Yangpyeong area, with a force of up to 200,000.
In addition, the Japanese army also landed in the western coast city of Hamhung in the north of the Chosun Peninsula.
They want to go straight in from here. In the direction of Sinuiju.
Cut off the retreat of the Fourth Army, and then gather and annihilate it.
But ideals are full, and reality is skinny.
How could Ling Liang, a master of Red Alert strategy, leave such an obvious defensive loophole?
As soon as they landed, they encountered two divisions of the Tenth Army and a mountain infantry division.
The Japanese army was caught off guard, and the two divisions retreated step by step. Finally, they retreated to the Wonsan area and stopped.
The Yangping Wonsan Defense Line is also a newly constructed defense line of the Japanese army. On this 150-kilometer-long defense line, more than 400,000 troops were deployed.
127 In order to defend the Chosin Peninsula, the Japanese army has obviously begun to fight desperately.
And this is what Ling Liang hopes to see.
Her goal is to gather the main force of the Japanese army to the northern part of the Chosin Peninsula.
Now the southern part of the Chosin Peninsula is under air strikes.
It is the best time to close the net.
Their target is Seoul on the Chosin Peninsula.
This is also the location of the Japanese Chosin Governor's Office.
It is the central city of the entire Chosin Peninsula and a transportation hub.
As long as Seoul is occupied, the retreat of hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops will be cut off. If they want to evacuate at that time, they need to cross the Chosin Mountains, which are hundreds of kilometers long, and hope to evacuate from Wonsan and Konggang County on the west coast of the peninsula.
The Navy will drop a large number of mines in these two places to block this sea area.
Hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops will have no way to go up to the sky and no way to go down to the ground.
But it is not so easy to take Seoul.
Ling Liang adopted a joint landing method of the three services of the navy, army and air force.
Now it is September 1933.
The hydrological conditions in the Incheon area are good, which is very suitable for landing operations.
Navy Two Marine divisions with more than 40,000 people will be dispatched to conduct landing operations in the Incheon area.
Two airborne divisions will be dispatched to conduct airborne operations near Seoul.
The army will dispatch more than 300 Nighthawk transport helicopters to carry out airborne operations.
The straight-line distance from Dalian to Seoul is only more than 400 kilometers.
It is just within the combat range.
Although it cannot be fully loaded, it can still reach Seoul when it is half loaded.
They will first conduct the upcoming operations in Incheon, Seoul.
Open up a safe landing site and landing site.
Then the Air Force will drop the airborne division at lightning speed, and then Incheon can be firmly occupied.
Then the two divisions of the Marine Corps will land safely under the cover of the navy.
It is more than enough to capture Seoul, where a brigade is stationed.
After taking Seoul, troops can land continuously.
Completely cut off the retreat of the 400,000 Japanese troops, and finally encircle and annihilate them in the mountainous area in northern Korea.
This plan is very grand and requires the mobilization of troops.���At least 500,000 people will be mobilized.
After all, the Japanese will not sit still and wait for death.
They will inevitably send reinforcements and counterattacks frantically.
Enough troops must be mobilized.
