Red Alert 1895

Chapter 506: Boxer Regiment

"Everyone, our Boxers now have more than 8,000 people, and the number is still expanding. And we can realize our great cause of expelling foreigners and helping the Qing Dynasty to destroy foreigners. At that time, everyone will be my Qing Dynasty The hero, and everyone follows me to eat and drink spicy food." Zhao Sanduo said.

Zhao Sanduo is now in a good mood. Ever since he got the support of a group of people who claim to be "conservative", he is very proud of the past and the suppressed Boxer Regiment has reorganized. Zhao Sanduo's boxer this time was many times larger than in the past, which made him feel very fulfilled. And thousands of his subordinates obeyed his orders, which made him feel very comfortable, and he also felt the taste of mastering power, which was really intoxicating. And next, he hopes to be able to use these Boxers, and then do things for himself, to strive for glory and wealth for himself, to become an official and a marquis, and even let himself continue to be rich. And he has been dreaming this beautiful dream, and he can't extricate himself.

However, when the Boxers were meeting this time, some people were throwing winks at each other, and then everyone finally came to a room for a meeting after the meeting was over.

"Officer Zhou Chen of our Beijing Office has issued an order, let's prepare to take action." A leader said.

Immediately, someone said: "Lieutenant Colonel Tian Lihui, what does Commander Zhou Chen want us to do?"

"It's very simple. Next, you will start looting foreigners in Shandong, robbing their churches, and various foreign business establishments. However, if you encounter those Boxers who indiscriminately kill innocent people, you must Find a way to stop it. We only target foreigners, not our own people, understand?"

"Understood!"

These people were actually sent by Wang Guorui to serve as undercover agents for the Boxers. And they were all natural soldiers in the Taiwan army. Then I was sent to the military academy to study a crash course for grassroots officers for a year, and then I was sent here to sneak into the Boxers. And their contact person is Tian Lihui, and Tian Lihui is under the leadership of Zhou Chen, director of the Beijing Office. In this way, Zhou Chen is mainly responsible for the intelligence work in the mainland. And Zhou Chen's military rank has also been promoted to the rank of colonel, which is equivalent to the rank of deputy director of the General Intelligence Bureau.

As for these soldiers who were sent undercover. They were also selected from immigrants from the mainland, and then joined the army for a period of time as outstanding members, and then sent to the military academy to study a crash course for grassroots officers for a year before being sent over. Their accents are all mainland accents, so everyone will not feel too unfamiliar. Moreover, they have been soldiers, have undergone Taiwan's military training, and have studied military knowledge in a military academy system, and have a lot of organizational skills. And when they came here, they were not only capable. And coupled with enough "activity funds", it is very fast to attract people. Therefore, they were widely used in the Boxers, and soon became the leadership. The number of people under their jurisdiction ranges from more than a hundred to as few as a dozen or twenty, so they have mastered a lot of strength in the Boxer Regiment.

"How many people can you control?" Tian Lihui asked.

"I have one hundred and fifty!" "I have one hundred and thirty!" "I have less, about ninety!" "I have seventy!"...

After everyone's report, Tian Lihui immediately started to count, and then said: "At present, we have a total of more than 2,000 people, which is enough to form a simple regiment. What is the quality of these people, do they smoke opium, etc. fault"

"No. We have selected them carefully. We all know that there are not many soldiers, so we have all been selected from the best. We are all capable. I will not expand the manpower casually." Someone answered immediately.

Tian Lihui continued: "That's good. We will send over a batch of weapons. These weapons are mainly pistols, and there are only a few submachine guns. There are about a thousand of these pistols, and about two submachine guns. Hundreds, these are all transferred by us through the relationship between the Green Gang and the Red Gang, and you will use these guns to form a pistol regiment, and then be responsible for fighting behind enemy lines."

"Colonel Tanaka, since we are going to rob foreigners, what will we do with the wealth we have robbed? According to our rules, everything we seized must be returned to the public, so how do we return it to the public?" someone asked.

Tian Lihui immediately said, "The next step depends on your ability. Mr. Wang said that you don't have to hand over the wealth you have seized. All of it will be used to recruit people, and then enough recruits can be used as our constant armament in the mainland." strength, and we will take advantage of the Boxer Incident to take the opportunity to enter the mainland, so that we can all successfully gain a foothold in the mainland, and finally you can gradually turn these troops into regulars. Before we enter the mainland , You can recruit as many soldiers as you can. If the number of recruits becomes a regiment, then our Lord Wang will let you be the battalion commander. If the recruitment becomes a division, then our Lord Wang will also let you be the regiment leader. So what level of officer you want to become depends on your own ability. As long as you have the ability, everything is possible."

Hearing the good news, they all felt excited and excited. Because they know that this is a good opportunity to become an official. According to the past situation, it is already difficult for them to be promoted quickly in the Taiwan army. They can only blame the qualifications step by step, and then gradually promoted. At present, Taiwan has no chance of large-scale military expansion. The expansion of an island of Taiwan to 200,000 troops is already very remarkable. However, considering Taiwan's army's weapons and equipment, in fact, it does not need so many troops. If there are too many troops, it will be a waste. Therefore, it is impossible to expand the army on a large scale, and naturally it is impossible to quickly take advantage of the opportunity of the expansion. And now that he has this opportunity, if he can take advantage of this opportunity to get promoted, he might be able to save five or six years or even ten years of struggle. Although the expanded manpower must be calculated by reducing one level, it is worth it, because even one level reduction is not bad. Because the strength of Taiwan's army is not comparable to those of the local turtle army. Although the level is one level lower, it actually improves their combat effectiveness a lot.

The reason why Wang Guorui allowed them to expand their own army actually had his own ideas. These people cannot do without Taiwan's support, and it is not so easy for them to betray Wang Guorui, because they need Taiwan's support for weapons and ammunition, and if Taiwan gives up their support, they will be vulnerable. His mother has experienced Taiwan's army, so he naturally knows the strength of Taiwan's army. Naturally, he can't have the idea of ​​betrayal at all, and they don't dare to betray at all. If they betrayed, not only would they not be able to get Taiwan's continued support, but they would also be constantly hunted down by the intelligence agencies. Even if he escaped the pursuit, what can he do, he can only choose to keep running away, because Taiwan's strength is enough to keep defeating them. Under the absolute weapon advantage of the Taiwan army, it is impossible for them to resist the pursuit of the Taiwan army and then be defeated step by step. Therefore, no truly smart person will choose to betray.

"Colonel Tanaka, shall we take the initiative next?" someone asked.

"Yes, take the initiative, and then stimulate the foreigners, so that we can take advantage of the situation. If the foreigners don't invade us, then why do we enter the mainland? Then we may have no reason to enter the mainland. After all, we As long as Taiwan is still part of the imperial court, we naturally cannot directly disobey orders. We must enter the mainland in the name of defending our home and country, so that we can truly secure a territory. Otherwise, if the world is peaceful, then we will not Don't think about how to enter the mainland to grab territory.

Now Taiwan is still a part of China~lightnovelpub.net~ If there is not enough reason, then I am afraid that there is no chance to enter the mainland. If you enter the mainland rashly, you will probably be regarded as a rebel by the people. After all, the people in the mainland still recognize the Manchu court. Too many of them are used to the Manchu rule, so if there is no suitable reason for Taiwan, it really can’t be done. Enter the mainland. It is better to treat the people as rebels. Could it be possible to massacre the people at that time? Wang Guorui couldn't do this, so he had to find an excuse for his soldiers to enter the mainland. And what excuse is more legitimate than defending the country, so if the Boxer Incident did not break out, the multinational coalition forces would not invade, and if the multinational coalition forces did not invade, then Taiwan would have no chance to defend the country on the grounds of defending the country. Entering the mainland to grab territory was really a tragedy at that time. Entering the mainland is not that simple. It is not only a military battle, but also a political reason. It's a pity that Taiwan is an isolated island. If you enter it hastily, not only will the people in the country not support it, but it will reject Taiwan from entering the mainland, thinking that Taiwan is a rebel army. And at that time when foreign countries come to interfere, I am afraid that Zhu Bajie will really look in the mirror-he is not a human being inside and outside.

Just like later generations, it is not very, very easy for mainland China to destroy Taiwan in later generations, but the problem is that there are too many political problems in the country, which cannot be explained clearly in one sentence. So this political problem is the biggest problem, and the military problem is second. Only when the political problems are solved can the military problems be solved, otherwise it will be putting the cart before the horse. This is the reason why war is a continuation of politics.
