Shenyang, conference room of the Military Commission of the Far East Company.

Gao Jianguo and they are studying countermeasures, they have already dispatched a large number of sea forces to the coastal areas of Daming and the northern waters of Luzon Island, but there are still tens of thousands of displaced people in Henan who are rushing to the sea from the Yellow River waterway, and they can't ignore it.

Qiao Haipeng sighed and said: "Our next step is to develop a first-class professional transport sailboat, the company's capacity seems to be very large, but it is based on the results of mobilizing ships from other departments, once this situation occurs, it will inevitably let the enemy take advantage of the loophole." The lesson of this time is profound, and we in the Admiralty should bear the main responsibility. Manila's prosperity will inevitably touch the interests of the Western colonizers, and we thought that we would start to solve the problem of the South Seas in two years, but we did not expect that they could not bear it first. It's time to make up your mind to solve the problem of Nanyang. ”

Wang He said with a smile: "Now is not the time to talk about responsibility, everyone knows the ambitions of the Western colonizers, we will collide with them sooner or later, since it happened, then it will be solved in one day." Control the whole of Southeast Asia, making the South Seas an inland sea in the Far East. ”

Gao Jianguo nodded and said, "Since we have made up our minds, we must fight harder, we are still too conservative." But it is better not to beat them to death, it is better to kill them all the way to India, where they sign an alliance with them, and make Manila the commercial capital of East Asia to meet the needs of the Asian market. In addition, build a new trading port in the Strait of Malacca, specifically trade with Western colonists, and ban them from the Strait of Malacca and Sunda Strait, to hell with the new shipping routes. ”

At this time, a staff officer of the staff department pushed the door with a heavy face and walked in and handed a telegram to Gao Jianguo. Although he didn't say a word from beginning to end, everyone felt an inexplicable depression.

Gao Jianguo took the telegram and read it for a while, and his face slowly became solemn. He exhaled, and then handed the telegram to Wang He.

"I just received a telegram from Ye Changsheng in the Luzon garrison. In the early hours of this morning, several thousand militants launched an attack in the city of Manila. Manila's armed police, reserve militia, chengguan and security bureau agents suffered nearly 1,000 casualties. Ye Changsheng, the commander of the garrison, organized troops to defeat this group of militants, and now they are clearing the city of remnants of the enemy.

Through guò their surprise interrogation of the captives, reliable information was obtained. This was an organized and premeditated aggression against our Far Eastern Company, orchestrated by the eight European countries of the Netherlands, Great Britain and Portugal. They formed a combined fleet of several hundred sailing ships. It has now entered Manila Bay. In addition, hundreds of pirate ships of the British Royal Pirates, the Barbary Pirates of North Africa, and the Pirates of the Caribbean have also entered the waters north of Luzon.

Comrades, war is coming......"

The members of the board of directors and members of the standing committee present listened to Gao Jianguo's words and were stunned by the news.

The Far East has never encountered such a grim moment since it came to this era. Coincidentally, it was just in time for the company's immigration action in the waters of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which made the sea area north of Luzon very empty, allowing people to take advantage of such a big loophole.

Wang He said solemnly: "Old Gao, the situation is urgent now. The Military Commission should draw up a battle plan right away. From now on, the company will mobilize all resources to support the CMC. ”

Gao Jianguo nodded, and then said gloomily: "I announce that the company will enter a state of war from now on. ”

In all the barracks in the area controlled by the Far East Company, almost at the same time, a long and piercing sound was remembered, and all the officers and soldiers were stunned by the sudden sound of the siren. Immediately afterwards, the trumpeters of each detachment also sounded the urgent assembly call in a hurry, and everyone reacted. They all ran to their barracks.

There are clear provisions in the regulations drawn up by the Military Committee of the Far East, after the alarm sounds. All cadres and fighters must rush back to the troops as soon as possible, then put on their equipment and weapons, and assemble in the camp area to stand by.

After the two brigades of the field division were assembled, less than half an hour later, a large number of river deck barges arrived one after another along the Hunhe River. Then he pulled the officers and men of the field division and sailed towards the mouth of the Liao River.

The two landing ships had just arrived in Liaodong transporting the displaced people, and they had just unloaded the Liaomin. Jeeps and trucks that had been waiting on the shore roared into the cabin. A large number of laborers pushed wheelbarrows to carry various supplies into the ship's hold.

The various departments of the Far Eastern Company were also mobilized, all the works were stopped, and all the vehicles and construction machinery were freed up to serve the troops of the Military Commission. The logistics sub-divisions of the Central Military Commission in various localities played a decisive role in this emergency assembly of troops. Near the place where each unit is assembled. All of them have a well-equipped logistics sub-unit, which receives the order for the mobilization of the whole army, and all the materials are delivered to the designated place as soon as possible.

Often, before the troops are assembled in place, the officers and men of the logistics branch have already delivered the supplies first. In this way, it is basically ensured that materials and personnel are loaded on the ship and loaded at the same time, saving a lot of time. In addition, various departments of the Nationalities Affairs Committee also mobilized their staff to provide all-round support for the officers and men such as food and lodging at the place where the troops were assembled and on the way to the march.

The Admiralty formed the First Attack Fleet in Lushun, with Qiao Haipeng as the commander of the fleet. The fleet, consisting of two landing ships, more than a dozen sailing ships and improved sailboats, and dozens of sailboats, set off immediately after receiving supplies at the mouth of the Liaohe River and loading them with supplies and personnel. The Marine units that followed the fleet included field divisions, daredevils, and a large number of combat and logistical support units.

A second attack fleet was formed along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with Zhou Cheng as the commander of the fleet. It consists of a landing ship and dozens of sailboats, improved sailboats, and improved sailboats. Receive supplies on Jeju Island and advance south at full speed. The Marine forces that followed the fleet included two overseas brigades, a separate daredevil's brigade, and a number of combat and late detachments.

At the same time, most of the sea forces gathered on the southeast coast also began to spill south. Dozens of 350-ton clippers and more than 100 150-ton Slupp sloops were the main force, as well as more than 1,000 fortune ships, bird ships and Guangzhou ships under Zheng Zhilong in the southeast, Liu Xiang in Guangdong, and Song Shiping in Jiangsu, Zhejiang. The coast guards of Lushun, Haiyang Island, Jeju Island, Tanegashima and other places also sent all their sea ships to kill the south.

Gao Jianguo and Li Ming, who was in the air, exchanged views with Guò radio several times in the shortest possible time, explaining the situation on Luzon Island to Li Ming in detail. After Li Ming learned about the situation, he and Lin Hua immediately drew up a brief battle plan on the plane and reported it to the Military Commission. (To be continued......) R1292
