1890 King of Southeast Asia

Until noon, after the exercise, or the artillery show, Liu Yiming left the scene, along with the special detachment that was about to set off. Because they had to secretly seize a dock, and it was the first landing battle, the South China Army decided to use their expertise, a sneak attack.

They set off in the afternoon and arrived at the Dahukou Town Dock in the early morning, which would make it easier to occupy the dock without anyone noticing.

The port was under martial law, and non-designated personnel were not allowed to approach. The special detachment was gathering and preparing to board the cargo ship in batches.

Liu Yiming was saying his final goodbye to them.

"You must be confused. Aren't we going to fight the Dutch? Why are you gathered at the port?"

"I couldn't tell you before, but I can tell you now."

"You are going to a place called Dahukou. Wherever you take down, defend there, and ambush there."

"What are you doing there? Waiting for the main force to attack, attract the Dutch, and then attack from both sides to eliminate the Dutch in one fell swoop!"

"Your mission is very difficult and dangerous. If you are not careful, you may be surrounded by the Dutch."

"But your mission is also very important. It is the key to whether the Dutch on Java Island can be eliminated in one fell swoop. If the Dutch are eliminated in one fell swoop, the Dutch will have no one to defend Java, and the casualties will be much smaller!"

"I believe we can win, and I also believe you can succeed. Remember , we have no way out. Once we lose, not only Surabaya, but also the Chinese in Java will be slaughtered. If we win, we will be the masters of our own house, and no Dutch and natives will do whatever they want to us. "

"I believe in you, the elders of Surabaya believe in you, and the elders of other cities in Java also believe in you. They are looking forward to your victorious return!"

"Remember, we have no way out, we are waiting for your triumphant return here!"

Liu Yiming gave a wave of pressure, which was very necessary. Fighting behind enemy lines was still very reluctant for new recruits, which was equivalent to being isolated and helpless. They must be given a sense of mission and responsibility, but Redism has not yet been spread, and has not been fully understood and systematically cultivated. They can only be blessed with defending the country.

"Triumph!"

"Triumph!"

"Triumph~"

...

The first shout was a call, and the latter was spontaneous.

"I order, board the ship!" Liu Yiming issued the departure order.

Heavy firepower and ammunition supplies began to be loaded on the 15th. Today, you only need to carry individual equipment to board the ship.

Teams of soldiers boarded five cargo ships converted into transport ships. The entire boarding process took only half an hour. At two o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was the hottest, all ships completed their preparations for sailing.

Five cargo ships and five converted transport ships slowly sailed out of the port.

"Salute! Salute!"

There are no salute shells in Sishui. They use three-inch shells without warheads. This is not important. The sense of ceremony is the most important. The sense of ceremony can give people a special sense of honor.

…………

Soldiers are a very contradictory profession. They dedicate their best years to the motherland. At the social level, this is a great thing. At the personal level, this is a sublime experience. However, because of this, the profession of soldiers is not proportional to the gains and efforts.

It is definitely not possible to say that soldiers are soldiers for the pursuit of gains. Soldiers who pursue money are just mercenaries. History has proved that you can't expect an army that pursues money to protect you.

Principal Chang, the transport captain, once had a good hand. The combat effectiveness of the Northern Expedition Army was also unparalleled in the world. It was an army with faith and pursuit. The officers also aimed to achieve national unification and national independence. They attacked, attacked, and attacked again without hesitation, and were unstoppable.

Then Principal Chang played a good hand of cards badly, and destroyed the foundation of his own rule. In a modern country, the grassroots forces could only reach the county town, and could not directly control the county town, which was not even as good as the Beiyang. Rather than being the head of state, it is better to be the leader of the martial arts world. It is a pity that millions of troops were almost all lost after more than ten years.

…………

After sending off the last ship, Liu Yiming looked at the watch. It was already three o'clock.

Back to the Nanhua Army Command, all departments were busy. Liu Yiming took a look and called Jiang Wang, the commander of the special service battalion.

"How is the training manual? Is there anything you don't understand?" Liu Yiming asked.

"Report to the commander, I have finished reading it and are organizing training. The manual is detailed and there is nothing I don't understand."

"Well, hurry up and train. You will be the vanguard of the entire army and will be the first to go out. Your task is very arduous and you can't fall behind in training."

"Yes!"

Without saying much, Jiang Wang went back to train, and Liu Yiming suddenly became idle.

Seven or eight military plans have been made, some from the staff and some from the chief of the troops. Liu Yiming looked at them all. They were very immature and full of imagination.

Then he gave them an outline and asked them to fill it in. They decided the attack plan in the way of doing math problems. Discussions are underway now, and Liu Yiming is not needed for the time being.

In terms of production, with the logistics department and Xu Hui watching, there will be basically no mistakes. After all, it is not troublesome now. It only involves production and storage. Only the 102 rocket launcher is continuing the production of new weapons. As for the so-called Type 90, there are still four that have passed the quality inspection, but Liu Yiming dare not use them.

In terms of political power, it is more concise. Under military control, Chen Jiangtao is making adjustments based on the template given by Liu Yiming, but it is just patchwork. The party-government system does not even have the most basic political party soil, so for now it can only make do with an authoritarian approach.

Suddenly, Liu Yiming was a little uncomfortable with having nothing to do and feeling a little nervous. He walked around and looked around, which made all departments a little nervous.

After discovering this situation, Liu Yiming chose to go home.

There were not many people in the Liu family at this time. Zhang Wentao joined the government and worked in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. The original servants of the Liu family had already gone to other jobs. It was not just the Liu family, but almost the whole Sishui. Except for the cook, there were no male servants. The men were basically in factories, docks, the army, or managing the natives in the plantation. The last one was basically done by the elderly.

The Liu family didn't have many maids to begin with, and now it seemed a little deserted.

Liu Yiming went back to his room for a while, read some information, and there was a knock on the door.

He opened the door and it was Zhang You.

"Hey, Youzi, are you at home?" Liu Yiming said.

"Yeah, the telegraph office is not allowed to send telegrams except for that red-haired ghost. I have nothing to do..." Zhang You complained.

"Hold on, he is trying to find out the news about the Dutch. Apart from him, even I cannot communicate with the outside world at will." Liu Yiming comforted.

"You can put your work aside for a while. When the war is over, you and your sisters can communicate unimpeded. You can find as many teachers as you want."

"Brother Yiming, are you okay today?" Zhang You nodded and asked.

"Yes, the headquarters doesn't need me, so I left work early!" Liu Yiming said half-jokingly.

"Then, can you accompany me for a walk?" Zhang You asked expectantly.

Liu Yiming thought about it and found nothing urgent to deal with.

"Then let's go, where to go?" Liu Yiming smiled.

"Anywhere is fine!" Zhang You answered happily.

Liu Yiming smiled and touched Zhang You's head, and Zhang You squatted down to avoid him.

"I'm very busy during this period and don't have time to accompany you. When I'm done with this period, I'll be much better..."

He told the maid that if anyone came to find him, they should go to the beach to find him, and then he took Zhang You to the beach.

Today Zhang You didn't wear a dress, but a Song-style Hanfu. Fortunately, it was cool today. The hottest temperature was probably 34 or 35 degrees, but now it was about 33 degrees.

The two played at the beach for an afternoon. Even though the sea breeze was cool, they were sweating. Looking at the game with a red face, Liu Yiming quickly recited the Bingxin Jue in his mind.

"It's not time yet."

Maybe it was because he saw a beautiful girl, or maybe it was because he was sweating. Anyway, after returning home, Liu Yiming felt much more relaxed, and even slept better.

…………

Dahukou, an unknown market town, is located at the inner end of a seaside canyon. It has a bit of the flavor of a natural harbor, but the entrance is narrow, only about 100 meters, the interior is 200 meters wide from east to west, 300 meters wide from north to south, and the water depth is 30 meters in the center, decreasing to both sides. There are lighthouses on both sides for navigation of fishing boats. This used to be a pirate base. Later, the pirates were wiped out and it became a settlement.

The intelligence obtained by Sishui was obviously outdated. There are about a thousand people living in Dahukou now, half of them are Chinese and half are Javanese. There are only planting and fishing industries. It is the only town within ten kilometers. Unfortunately, there is a road eight kilometers to the south, so this town with inconvenient transportation has no money. There are only three Dutch people, and a team of Javanese was recruited as a law enforcement team.

At 2:30 in the morning of the 17th, five transport ships and five cargo ships arrived at the designated sea area and carefully approached the entrance along the waterway.

The entrance is narrow, and the tonnage of transport ships can enter, but it is too dangerous to sail at night. The fleet dropped anchor and lowered the small boats.

Ten small boats carrying 150 soldiers slowly sailed towards the entrance.

It passed calmly, and no one found it at the entrance. Maybe the person in charge of the lighthouse had fallen asleep?

It took an hour and a half from the departure of the small boat to the entry into the port. It was already four o'clock when the small boat docked.

"Team three, divided into six people, go occupy the lighthouse, team one and team two go from the left side of the port, go to the road behind, don't let anyone escape, the rest of the people stay at the port and occupy the commanding heights."

"There are mines on the ship, team one and team two take them all away, the purpose of this time is to ambush, it is better to kill the wrong person than to let him go, and we can't let anyone escape, otherwise, the mission will fail, and the efforts of the rear will be in vain. Do you understand?" The captain of the first squadron of the special detachment arranged the task.

After unloading the people, the boat went to pick up the second group of people.

Team one and team two bypassed the port and went to the outside of the market town. The market town was divided along the port, and there were farmlands to the south. After blocking the road and finding the commanding heights, the whole town was controlled.

Time passed little by little, and it was half past five. The second batch of boats were getting closer and closer to the shore, and the sky gradually became brighter. There were already some figures in the town.

Several figures walked towards the dock.

"Stop!" Javanese and Chinese shouted to the figures at the same time...
