Rebirth of South America as King

July 31, 1878, Moon Bay, the northern port of the Natuna Islands.

Natuna Islands Defense Commander Chen Xingui accompanied Nanyang Governor Mei Dongxing and Nanyang Army Commander Wang Dashan to inspect the defense situation of the Natuna Islands.

"Master Mei, General Wang, please here."

Chen Xingui took the two men to a high ground, facing the fortress on the other side and introduced, "The local natives called this place Lanai. After our army occupied the Natuna Islands, it was renamed Linshan Town, and Lin was built. The fortress serves as the core fortress of the Natuna Islands. "

"I have heard that the Chinese militants who occupied the Natuna Islands in the last period, and later the Dutch, have built forts here. I wonder if this is true or not?"

Mei Dongxing asked while observing Linshan Fort through the binoculars in his hand.

"It's true that both Chinese pirates and Dutch have built forts on the island, but the forts they build are much worse than Linshan Fort."

Chen Xingui took a few steps forward, right finger forward, "The ruins of the fort built by the Dutch are west of Linshan Fort. The perimeter of the fort is less than 100 meters and the height is about 5 meters. When our army built Linshan Fort, Because of affecting the sight of the main fortress, all were demolished, and the removed materials were used as building materials to build Linshan Fort. Now the traces left by the Dutch fortress can no longer be seen. "

"The perimeter is 800 meters, the width is 300 meters, the wall height is 15 meters, and the wall walkway is five meters wide ..."

Wang Dashan recalled the data of Linshan Fort, exclaiming, "Isn't a castle of this size able to accommodate 10,000 people?"

"General Wang's expectations are good. The planned area of ​​Linshan Fort is 240,000 square meters, and the standard population is 12,000. If it encounters an enemy attack, the maximum area of ​​the castle can reach 20,000. Each builds a small fortress, and each of the two small fortresses is equipped with a 150mm heavy gun, which forms a pinch with the four heavy guns of the main fortress of Linshan Fort. It can control the nearly ten kilometers of water near the port and form a huge suppression on the enemy at sea. effect."

Chen Xingui continued, "The Natuna Islands are an important transit station to ensure the safety of immigration routes. His staff believes that the defense construction of the islands should continue to be strengthened, and the Natuna Islands should be built into the support base of the South China in the South China Sea. On the one hand, it is a migrant fleet. Provide material support and logistical support. On the other hand, you can rely on the military power of the Natuna Islands to combat piracy near the South Ocean, ensure the smooth flow of immigration routes, and at the same time deter the Dutch's ambitions on the Natuna Islands, and ensure that our army against Natuna Long-term occupation of the Canary Islands. "

"It is necessary to strengthen the defense of the Natuna Islands. Brother Chen and I will not hide this. General Wang and I came to the Natuna Islands not only to protect Wu's security, but also had a task to convey to His Brother Chen Will. "

"Master Mei, please."

Chen Xingui respectfully said.

"The mainland is expected to launch the war to unify Argentina from the second half of 1879 to the beginning of 1880. At that time, the Nanyang and African regions will not receive effective domestic support. Therefore, His Majesty ordered that from now on, the two northern provinces of Annan, the Natuna Islands, The National Defense Forces in Songkhla must prepare for the war in advance to deal with possible attacks by Western countries. "

Mei Dongxing paused, and then said, "Director Huang from Africa has received a domestic order and began to prepare for combat preparations. Nanyang knows that the only domestic orders are me, General Wang, Taiping Liang and Brother Chen. So Brother Chen can come up with any good suggestions and requirements for defending the Natuna Islands. "

Chen Xingui breathed a sigh of relief. After digesting the news, he said, "The resident population of the Natuna Islands is 17,000, plus the number of stranded people each year, totaling more than 40,000.

Linshan Fort and the two small fortresses with two wings can accommodate up to 25,000 people, so the staff believes that at least three new fortresses need to be built to protect the people on the island when the enemy attacks. "

"Where is Brother Chen planning to build a fort?"

"Patong, Laguna."

Chen Xingui took out the map prepared in advance and spread it on the ground, explaining that "Patong is located 29.8 kilometers southwest of Linshan Fort, with open terrain and moderate depth of the port, which is vulnerable to threats from ships at sea. Laguna Island is prominently located near the Netherlands. Human-controlled islands are most likely to be attacked by the Dutch.

Therefore, his staff believed that the defense strength of the two places should be strengthened, and two medium-sized fortresses should be built in Padang and a small and small fortress in Lagun. "

"Brother Chen intends to abandon the Anambas Islands?"

Mei Dongxing noticed that Chen Xingui did not mention the defense plan of the Anambas Islands and asked.

"The Anambas Islands are small in area and are more than five hundred miles away from the Natuna Islands. If the war breaks out, the Anambas Islands outside the main island will be difficult to hold on to, and the role of building fortresses on the island is not significant, and It will also disperse the valuable forces of the National Defence Forces, so it is not recommended to build defenses on the Anambas Islands. "

The Anambas Islands are made up of Gemaggia, Ziontan, Matak, and many other small islands. An area of ​​637 square kilometers. Hilly, dense forests, high quality wood.

After occupying the Natuna Islands, the Wehrmacht immediately launched an operation to eliminate pirates in the surrounding islands and occupied the Anambas Islands.

The Anambas Islands are under the jurisdiction of the Natuna Islands. All the people on the island are Chinese from the Annan, Natuna Islands and other places. The number is about 1,000.

Although the Anambas Islands is only 637 square kilometers in area, the relatively suitable natural environment on the island provides a good living guarantee for the Chinese refugees who have migrated to the area.

On the largest island of Changma Island (formerly known as Jemaja Island), Chinese immigrants cut down dense woods to make materials for building houses. At the same time, the land left after felling trees is planted with rice, sweet potatoes and other food crops. The harvested food, vegetables, and picked coconuts can not only meet the needs of the local Chinese, but also deliver to the Natuna Islands and the migrant fleet.

According to the carrying capacity of the Anambas Islands and the hard-working nature of the Chinese refugees, there are not many problems for the six thousand or seven thousand people living on the island. However, considering the danger of the outbreak of the war, Chen Xingui has been carefully controlling the population of the Anambas Islands. To prevent the problem of overpopulation on the island and difficult retreat.

After listening to Chen Xingui's explanation, Mei Dongxing understood his difficulty ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ and said, "The National Defense Forces have limited strength in the Nanyang region. The Nanyang Army must respond to the threats of the French and the Manchurian Guangxi army. Tuna, the defense of the Natuna Islands is up to you. "

"The staff understands the difficulty of Lord May. The Natuna Islands already have a thousand regular troops and a thousand militia forces. They do not need the support of the Nanyang Army, but in some areas that cannot be taken into account, they can only give up."

"Anambas has nothing to do. While there is still more than a year left, we can start to evacuate the people of the Anambas Islands. The province has got too late."

"After escorting Wu's fleet, his staff arranged for him to do it."
