The journey starts from the Titanic

Many hot-blooded young people sneaked out of the school, kept their teeth from home, and climbed onto the boat to Medan.

The situation is gratifying, Situ Meiden praised at the South China Military Government meeting.

"Recently, there have been many people in Medan! Many of them are young and energetic, hehe, that's great! This shows that our publicity work is doing well."

Li Shuhua, who is in charge of the propaganda work, and with the cooperation of Hu Wenhu, he has obtained a large amount of media resources and can spread the information of Medan widely in Southeast Asia and mainland China.

Li Shuhua smiled and said modestly: "This is the reason why we have done more adequately in the early stage. We are just, and our efforts have allowed more young people to see the hope of a new country."

"How is the troop training?" Situ Meideng focused his attention on He Wenxiu who was next to him.

"The front-line troops have been mobilized. Two days later, they will set off, preparing to fully occupy Sumatra and most of Borneo in two months."

He Wenxiu said, "There are still many young students who want to join the army, but our current military strength is enough to deal with the next war. These students, I think Mr. Wu will be very welcome."

"Of course. These are all treasures! It is our hope for the future. It is a pity to use it in war." Wu Liande smiled, preparing to coax those young intellectuals who were clamoring to join the army to school.

What only made him a little depressed was that after the expansion of the military school in Medan, some of the restless students went to the military school again.

"How are the materials prepared?" Situ Meitang asked Yao Hongmin, who is in charge of finance, and Zeng Limin, who is in charge of logistics.

"Don't worry about funds. The Treasury Department has prepared 30 million U.S. dollars, 8 million pounds, and ten tons of gold. In addition, we have hundreds of millions of dollars in the accounts of the City Bank of New York, Wells Fargo Bank, and Morgan Commercial Bank. , Ready to call."

Yao Hongmin smiled confidently. When he left the United States, Situ Nan told him that he didn't have to save money. Even if he spent money, he would have to create a country.

After hearing that there were sufficient funds, everyone was relieved.Especially Chen Youren, he now completely believes that South China is backed by a large American consortium.It's just that he didn't know that Situ Nan paid a lot of money behind his back.

"There is no need to worry about logistics. We have built 10 large-scale material storage warehouses in Medan, where food can be eaten by 3 million people for two years, and gunpowder can be used to build 10 500-kilometer roads on Sumatra.

With a steel storage of 200,000 tons, we can produce 100,000 tons of steel every year, and at the same time we can import 80 to 130,000 tons of steel from Manila, Wuhan and Guangzhou.Of course, this is the case when the shipping is not blocked.

I think Medan’s steel reserves alone are enough. Our opponent Dutch is almost too far behind us in this regard. Their war preparations are far inferior to ours. The only advantage is the white skin and countless indigenous people. soldier.

But we have enough bullets to deal with them.After the declaration of independence, our previously hidden factory can produce guns and ammunition openly, and the production capacity of the arsenal will be released to the maximum.

The Logistics Department is confident that it will provide 200,000 people for half a year of combat expenditure in accordance with the standards of the European battlefield.

In addition to the ammunition we originally prepared, there will be no problem with ammunition replenishment for at least a year, so the army can fight with confidence!"

Zeng Limin smiled, gave He Wenxiu an encouraging look, and then said, "It is the poor traffic in Sumatra that slightly restricts our logistics transportation.

We have built a transportation network in Sumatra with Medan as the center, which can quickly transport materials and troops by car, but it is temporarily out of reach in the southeast."

"It's okay! My soldiers are not veteran soldiers, they are not so delicate! They are all strictly trained, and it's okay to climb mountains and ridges, and cross forests."

He Wenxiu believes.

In recent years, the security team has consciously infiltrated East Sumatra. Several geological teams have been sent to explore the topography of southern Sumatra, and several dense roads have been opened in the forest.

Once the South China Army crossed the forest and appeared behind the enemy, it was the enemy's death.He Wenxiu thought to himself.

His confidence also infected other people, and everyone looked forward to the next move of the army.

"Thomas, do you have anything to say?" Situ Meiden finally turned his attention to Thomas, the intelligence chief who managed the current very favorable situation.

Thomas shook his head, still a charming smile.Thinking of some Japanese disguised as Chinese who appeared in Medan recently, he sneered.

"In that case! Then I wish our children victory!" Situ Meiden waved his hand proudly, ending the last meeting before the war.

The first to walk out of the door was the Minister of the Interior Gao Wei. He wanted to rush to convene a meeting of the Ministry of the Interior to strengthen the selection and training of reserve officials.

Those officials almost have to follow the army, quickly establish political power in the occupied areas and establish the rule of South China....

He Wenxiu came out of the Wanghua Building and then came to the heavily guarded Zhenhua Building-the headquarters of the South China Independent Army.

After training, the first-line troops of the South China Independence Army have 6 divisions of 90,000 people. They are the first to sixth divisions of the South China. The first to fourth divisions are stationed on Sumatra. The future battlefield on Sumatra will be under the jurisdiction of the Sumatra Military Region.

He Wenxiu personally took command as the commander of the Sumatra Military Region, with Han Gang, Situ Yong and the German Marx?A large number of generals such as Bobby gathered the essence of the South China Army.

Most of the German officers introduced from Germany recently joined the Sumatra Military Region, which greatly enriched the command and combat capabilities of the South China Army.

The South China Fifth and Sixth Divisions are stationed in Borneo and are under the jurisdiction of the Borneo Theater. The theater commander Zhang Chengdong, under his command is a group of famous historical generals such as Bai Chongxi, Zhang Fakui, Li Hanhun, Jiang Guangnai, and Xue Yue.

Many officers and soldiers in the Borneo Theater were brought back by Zhang Chengdong from Guangdong and Guangxi. They participated in the Guangdong-Guangxi War and had rich war experience.

Most of the Fifth and Sixth Divisions trained in western Guangdong and Hainan Island for two years. Not only did they have experience in large corps operations, they also had experience in field and street fighting, but also specially trained jungle operations. This is definitely a reassuring force.

After the Wanghua Tower meeting last month, Zhang Chengdong rushed to Borneo with a group of generals, waiting for the outbreak of war at any time.

In addition to establishing a front-line combat force of 100,000 people, Nanhua also formed a second-line force of 150,000 people.A large number of miners, farm workers, factory workers, and Chinese volunteers from various places are receiving training.

Shooting, marching and maintaining local security are their main training tasks.

For a while, gunshots broke out on the outskirts of Medan, and the remaining indigenous people were all worried all day, for fear that those Chinese armed to their teeth would suddenly kill them.

South China did act on them, and the Minister of Interior Gao Wei issued a condolence to the indigenous chiefs of North Sumatra, asking them to go to Medan to participate in the National United Front Conference, or else they would bear the consequences.

In addition to the up-and-coming Chinese in North Sumatra, there are several indigenous tribes such as Batak, Pesisirs, Mandlings, and Angolas, with a combined population of more than 3 million.As for a small number of Javanese, Sundanese and other races from Java Island, Nanhua has been ruthlessly eradicated.

The Batak ethnic group is the most populous ethnic group in North Sumatra. They live in the Lake Toba area less than 200 kilometers away from Medan. They can best appreciate the strength and cruelty of the Chinese in Medan.

After receiving Gao Wei's notice, the Batak chief did not dare to neglect and rushed to Medan as soon as possible.He came by car.

The First Division of the South China Army (also called the Medan Security Division) personally escorted these chiefs to Medan.

"To drive away the Dutch and overthrow the colonial rule, South China needs the support of brothers of all races. I hope that your soldiers will join our army and show your determination and courage with practical actions. You will have your share in the future prosperity of South China!

We Chinese are very talkative, and whoever treats us well, we keep in mind and treat him as a brother.Who treats us badly and bullies us, we will not let him go.We treat you as brothers and lead you to create wealth together, so don't let down our kindness!"

Gao Wei had impeccable sincerity on his face, but his eyes were a little stern, staring at the indigenous chiefs.

Without waiting for the chiefs to make a decision, he sent the chiefs to the barracks to visit the training of the Medan garrison, and frightened the indigenous chiefs who had little knowledge.

After watching the powerful cannons, countless well-made rifles, machine guns, and planes hovering over their heads, the swarthy faces of the chiefs turned pale.

They secretly calculated that if the tribe’s old matchlocks and the brave archers in the tribe encountered the group of tigers and wolves in the South China Army, they would have to stop cooking, so they immediately made a wise choice and joined South China.

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

Gao Wei was very satisfied with the attitude of these indigenous chiefs. He made a lot of beautiful promises on the spot. At the same time, he generously expressed that the exemption of local taxes, the development of local resources, and the massive acquisition of indigenous tribes’ native products will let the indigenous chiefs eat. Reassured.

They all expressed that they would send the young men of the clan to join the army and fight against the colonists together.

Gao Wei knew how much water these indigenous chiefs said, but when the young men of their clan joined the South China Army, it was equivalent to being tied to the South China chariot. Forgive them for fear of turning back.

When they slowly taste the benefits, they will become Nanhua's most loyal servants. They will also rely on them to check and balance other indigenous tribes in the future.
