Chapter 718: Assembling (5)

The Air Force Department also mobilized more than 60 Type 35A medium-sized airships from various airship brigades in Liaodong, Nanyang, Luzon, and other places to assemble in the Korean Theater and formed the Korean Theater Airship Wing, which is under the jurisdiction of the Theater Command and is responsible for providing all-round support to the three major combat corps participating in the theater, such as aerial reconnaissance and vigilance, communication relay, attack and bombing, and battlefield command.

In addition, the Air Department also sent 10 drone reconnaissance teams. Each team consists of three people and is armed with a quadcopter drone. They were assigned to the front-line assault units of each corps to provide forward reconnaissance support for the troops.

The 10 special combat personnel led by Liu Baoguo, as well as the first batch of more than 50 reserve special combat personnel selected by the Military Commission's Reconnaissance Academy, were also brought by Gao Jianguo to the Korean Theater Command, where they will participate in the assault landing team and participate in the surprise attack on Hanyang City.

After receiving the order, the logistics branch of the Central Military Commission began to operate a huge logistics system. Before the troops were assembled, the logistics divisions in Dandong Town, Tawinburg, Jeju Island and other places had already moved in advance. A large number of military supplies have been put in place in a very short period of time, and various military material warehouses, front-line temporary supply warehouses, military hospitals, front-line medical teams, and logistics maintenance units at all levels have also been set up one after another.

Thanks to the CMC's large-scale logistics plan, the CMC's logistics department, after several years of construction, has hoarded a large amount of military supplies in logistics branches in various localities, and logistics units at all levels have also formed a complete set of mature work processes after years of training, with a rational division of labor and very high work efficiency.

The logistical supply work of the troops at all levels in the theater, as well as the logistics maintenance units and medical rescue units at all levels, will complete the preparation in the shortest possible time, and rush to the assembly sites in the theater as quickly as possible to arrange various venues. We will make good arrangements for all kinds of personnel and equipment, and we will even be ahead of the troops participating in the battle and put a perfect logistical support system into operation.

In order to ensure the logistical work of the Air Force Department, the Logistics Department of the Central Military Commission has set up several specialized and regular airfields and airship take-off and landing fields in Jeju Island, Hayang Island, Ulleungdo Island, and Hamgyong Province and Pyongan Province controlled by the Far East. And set up a number of suggestions for dealing with bad weather and providing shelter for airships.

In addition, all kinds of fuel, ammunition, accessories, supplies, and other supplies needed by the air force units are also in place. It has also established perfect maintenance and repair, spare parts replacement and other venues at various airports, as well as a large number of materials and accommodation places required by professional ground staff.

During the period when the Admiralty was also assembling the commanders of the Korean Theater and the various units participating in the war, the Admiralty dispatched nearly 100 flying shear patrol ships, 150-ton Slupp sloops, more than 100 offshore steam deck barges and wooden sailing ships, and several hundred pirate ships from Fujian, Guangdong, and other places. The Korean Theater Attack Fleet was formed and a large-scale sweep of the Korean coast was carried out.

The Korean Theater Attack Fleet carried out a large-scale blockade of the Korean coast while sweeping the Korean coast. In just one month, nearly 1,000 warships of the Far East Fleet basically completed the sweep of the Korean waters.

No matter what kind of ship it was, if it was discovered by the Korean Theater Attack Fleet, it would be immediately seized, and all the ships that dared to resist would be sunk on the spot. The sweep of the Far Eastern Fleet was incomparably brutal. Even the small fishing boats of the DPRK did not escape the poisonous hands of the Far Eastern Fleet. They were dragged to nearby islands and detained.

A very small number of ships that escaped from the sweep of the Far Eastern Fleet returned to Korea and immediately reported to the local government. After receiving the news, the DPRK Navy Division also acted quickly, quickly mobilizing a number of patrol sailor fleets composed of a large number of Banya boats and turtle boats, and intensified patrols along the southern coast of the DPRK.

At first, the Korean sailors only thought it was a pirate intrusion from the neighborhood, but when they went out several fleets never returned. They knew that it was broken, and hurriedly reported it to Hanyang City.

At this time, the civil and military forces of the Korean Manchu Dynasty were still seeking to negotiate with the Far East, and a very small number of sober-minded people had already seen the intention of the Far East and advocated mobilizing the forces of the whole country. Decisive battle with the Far East. But as soon as this voice appeared, it was instantly drowned out by the sound of peace talks. And those who have such a proposition were also reprimanded by Renzu Li Liang.

Until now, Joseon Injo and the Manchu civil and military forces were still lucky, hoping that the Far East would not have the ambition to annex Korea. It is only to create pressure on the DPRK to get the North Korean authorities to recognize that most of Hamgyong Province and the northeastern part of Pyongan Province, which are encroached upon by the indigenous people under the rule of the Far East, belong to the Far East.

Even the Manchu and military forces of Korea had drawn up a treaty of humiliating negotiations, with the final limit of the negotiations being the cession of the leased island of Jeju and most of Hamgyong Province and the northeastern part of Pyongan Province, which had been occupied by the Far East. There are also various additional clauses such as how much to pay tribute to the Far East each year. The degree of loss of power and humiliation of the country is comparable to that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Since the Joseon Injo Ri Ryu launched the "Injo Anyway" and overthrew Gwanghae-kun, who worked hard to implement internal reforms and stabilize the people's livelihood, the Korean court has returned to its former appearance. Politics is very corrupt, the bureaucracy is corrupt, and especially the partisanship within the ruling class.

One faction is the hereditary bureaucratic aristocracy, called the old faction; The other faction was the academy-educated new bureaucracy from the local small and medium-sized landlords, called the Shilin faction. The two factions formed their own factions to fight for power and fought each other, making the people's livelihood miserable and their national strength declining. The rulers emphasized literature over military force, and the armament of the whole of Korea was relaxed.

Even when the country reached this moment of crisis, the Xun Old School and the Shilin School were still attacking each other in the court, and the infighting continued. In order to study how to deal with the plan of the Far East, the entire court actually quarreled for more than ten days before it was finally decided. And the formation of the negotiation team quarreled for several days before it was over.

At the time when the Korean court was in a mess, the units of the Far Eastern Army in the Korean theater had basically been assembled, and the operational plans of the three corps headquarters had been drawn up and submitted to the theater command for approval.

After the negotiation team organized by the Korean court arrived in Dandong, Gao Jianguo and others were stunned. They were all confused by the North Korean authorities, and everyone did not believe that the DPRK had come to negotiate with the Far East at this time.

As a negotiator in the Far East, Shi Mingfeng met with the North Korean negotiating team and started the first round of negotiations. When Shi Mingfeng returned to the headquarters, he said with a wry smile on his face: "This North Korea is compared with the Manchu government back then, I just gave them a little pressure, and these scumbags almost told their bottom line."
