Chapter 312 The war is about to begin
After the Qingming Festival, the whole Nanshan became busy again. Official business from all over the country was submitted to Nanling and handed over to the government building for approval.
Fang Jian is fine, he is only responsible for approving important matters, and the other parts will be handled by themselves.
On the afternoon of April 4, the Asada Division of the Little Locust docked at the Qingzhou port and entered Qingzhou.
After receiving this news, Fang Jian did not take it seriously: "It's just one division. Find out when the remaining four divisions in the Little Locust country will set out?"
"Please forgive me, Chairman. The matter has not been fully investigated yet." Tao Yunong shook his head.
"At present, it is only clear that the remaining four divisions are Andong, Yamane, Yamauchi, and Fujii."
"The Anton Division is ready. The heavy weapons and supplies have been loaded onto the ship. They will probably leave in the next two days. As for the remaining three divisions, their departure time has not yet been determined."
Fang Jian was also helpless about this. After all, there was a vast ocean between them. Even if they boarded the ship, it would still take eight to ten days to reach the new country.
There is no need to rush into the matter of the dwarf locusts. If the change of flag in Heyuan had not had such a huge impact, Fang Jian would not want to confront them now.
Then, Fang Jianan began to care about the training of new recruits in various places: "The Intelligence Department also needs to keep an eye on the training of new recruits in various places."
These are all important forces for unifying and defending the new country.
"Yes, I will ask the Intelligence Department's agents in various places to collect information on the training of new recruits." Tao Yunong did not dare to neglect Fang Ji'an's instructions.
The reason why Francis Jian wants to establish major military regions in June or by the end of this year.
It was in June, and the military academy students who were about to graduate were sent to the army to serve as grassroots officers.
After this military expansion is finalized, there will be no major changes in the new country's army, and promotions and awarding of ranks will be much stricter in the future.
When there are vacancies to be filled, qualifications become more important.
Qualifications include not only work experience and participation in battles, but also whether or not one has graduated from a military academy, etc., which will all be taken into consideration.
Over the next ten days, agents from the Intelligence Department gathered information about the new army's training in various places, and some reports of corruption and laziness were also received, all of which Francis Xavier ordered to be severely punished.
This made the officers who were organizing the training of the new troops in various places feel shocked. They dared not to be perfunctory anymore and became more strict in the training of the new troops.
On April 4, Tao Yunong hurried into Fang Jian'an's office.
"Chairman, the remaining two divisions of the Dwarf Locust boarded the ship yesterday and have already set off."
"Oh, that's great." Fang Jian was overjoyed when he heard the news. After waiting for so long, he finally got confirmed news from these little dwarfs.
In the previous twenty days, the Anton Division and the Yamane Division of the Little Locust had arrived in Qiyuan one after another.
It was precisely because of the three divisions that Qi Yuan felt more confident, and Ohga Ihara, who was in the negotiations during this period, also became a bit tougher.
Then he smiled and said, "These dwarfs like to be arrogant. Send a message to Fang Guoxuan, and we can take action now. It would be best if we can destroy the two divisions of dwarf locusts before the remaining two divisions arrive."
"Of course, we can't take Qichang City before the Dwarf Locust reinforcements arrive."
"Yes, Chairman."
Fang Jian’s idea was simple: to take advantage of the fact that the enemy’s five divisions had not yet gathered together and annihilate them separately, thus reducing the losses of the Nanshan Army.
Not only must the five dwarf locust divisions be separated, but also the three divisions that have already landed must be separated.
After these five divisions are eliminated, there will only be four standing divisions left in the country, and the threat of the dwarf locusts will be greatly reduced. As for the ten newly recruited divisions, they are undergoing new recruit training.
This is also the difference between the Small Locust Kingdom and domestic warlords. Domestic warlords will form an army first and then train.
The Dwarf Locust Kingdom will first undergo military training and then be formed into an army after passing the training.
Thinking of the ten newly established divisions of the Little Locust Country, Tao Yunong immediately introduced them: "The numbers of the ten newly established divisions of the Little Locust Country have been determined."
“这十个师团暂时未用长官姓氏为名，而是被命名为101、102、103、104、105、106、107、108、109、110师团。”
Fang Jian didn't care about the names of these divisions. It would take at least half a year or a year for these new troops to be formed and become elite.
However, Tao Yunong's next words made Fang Jian frown.
"Chairman, according to the information sent back by the intelligence personnel, these new recruits of the dwarf locusts have participated in military training before. After more than a month of training, they should be able to form an army."
"What? In other words, as long as the war drags on, the Dwarf Locusts can send at least ten divisions into the new country in a month?" Upon hearing the news, Fang Jian's expression froze.
Tao Yunong was also quite worried. Ten divisions meant 280,000 people. Although the Nanshan Army had 430,000 people, only half of them were veterans, and the remaining half were new recruits.
Although there is an advantage in military strength, it is not necessarily safe, and even if you win, the loss of soldiers will be very heavy.
Fang Jian sighed, "We'll do this step by step. Send a message to Fang Guoxuan to first destroy the five divisions this time, and then see how the Dwarf Locust reacts in China."
"If we really have to fight against the 10 divisions of the Dwarf Locust, we are not without the ability to fight. Don't forget, we still have 20 Nanchuan divisions."
What Francis Xavier didn't say was that even if these new troops could be trained and reorganized within a month.
It was unknown how long it would take for them to reach the new country. After all, it would take a long time for them to get from the small dwarf locust to the new country.
What's more, the heavy weapons, weapons and equipment, and logistical supplies needed by ten divisions are not a small number.
The Little Locust is just an island country with scarce resources. It will take time to prepare for such a war.
Just like the all-out war of resistance on the blue planet, if there had been no 918, the entire three northeastern provinces would have been given to the little locusts.
Among them were the airports, aircraft, military factories, weapons and equipment in the Northeast, as well as countless gold, which allowed the little dwarf locust to arm a sufficient army. How could the little dwarf locust Kwantung Army have the money and equipment to establish itself?
After another six years of operation, the Little Locust was able to stockpile enough weapons and equipment in the country to equip the army, navy, and air force.
Before 918 on Blue Star, the Dwarf Locust had only over troops, of which the army had only over .
After receiving Fang Jian'an's instructions, Tao Yunong immediately went down and arranged to send a telegram to Fang Guoxuan.
After receiving Fang Jian's telegram, Fang Guoxuan couldn't help but smile. When these little dwarf locusts landed, he wanted to send troops.
"Send a telegram to Commander Cai of the Second War Zone, asking all units in the Second War Zone to quickly move to the front line. At the same time, send a telegram to the commanders of all units in the First War Zone, asking them to come to Ningling City for a meeting."
"Yes." After hearing Fang Guoxuan's order, the staff officer did not dare to neglect it. He responded and went to arrange for the communications office to send messages to various departments.
After receiving the telegram, the heads of various departments did not dare to delay and immediately rushed to Ningling by car.
Cai Yanwu was very happy when he received the telegram asking the troops of the Second War Zone to move forward. Knowing that this was a signal that the battle was about to begin, he did not dare to neglect it and immediately sent telegrams to the divisions to issue orders.
