Chapter 2158
The Haihan Intelligence Department does not know much about the possible power struggle within North Korea and can only guess that the attempted attack on Li Zhi was related to the succession to the throne.
In theory, the three princes of North Korea all have a chance to inherit the throne, and each of them has some supporters behind him. However, King Li Zhu chose the crown prince Li Zhen as the first heir early on. Haihan believed that cultivating and supporting Li Zhi to take power in the future would help maintain diplomatic relations with North Korea in the future, so he promoted Li Zhi to study in Sanya at all costs.
And if the forces of the Hirado clan intervene in the power struggle in Korea, it will certainly not be good news for Haihan. Moreover, their previous actions failed, and it is difficult to say whether they will launch similar attack plans in the future.
Judging from the post-war review based on oral confessions and evidence, although the coalition's operation was a complete victory, the actual results did not achieve the desired results because they failed to truly capture the enemy's key figures. It leaves a glimmer of hope for the enemy.
Of course, this does not mean that the Hirado clan will make a comeback soon. The damage to the local area was so complete that it basically completely cut off the economic lifeline of the Hirado clan. If they want to save the funds to form an armed force, But it’s difficult. Without the trading port, relying on the small amount of taxes paid by the locals farming and fishing, I am afraid that they will not be able to raise enough military expenses for another ten to eight years.
Qian Tiandun pointed out in the message that the only means left by the Hirado clan to quickly make money is probably the military manufacturing technology they have mastered. If the Hirado clan transforms into a professional arms dealer, it may gain some external support. It is not enough to block the sea channel between Hirado and the Qing Dynasty. They may still sell weapons to Ming Dynasty and other places, and even other forces in Japan may become their customers.
To put it simply, it is believed that the hidden dangers of the Hirado Domain still exist, and perhaps a cross-sea operation will be launched in the future. Therefore, this "root eradication operation" actually failed to achieve the effect of eradicating the grass and roots.
Qian Tiandun also put forward remedial suggestions. The intelligence department should try to dispatch intelligence personnel to the Kyushu region to monitor the development trends of the Hirado clan in the long term. In the past, Haihan had serious loopholes in this link, so he gave This provided space for the Eighteenth Party Committee to develop calmly in the local area.
Of course, how to carry out intelligence work against Japan cannot be determined by a few of their overseas generals sending telegrams. Such important projects must be reported to Sanya for discussion and implementation by the Executive Committee, the Ministry of National Defense, and the Ministry of Security. The specific implementation of the plan may require the cooperation of more departments.
After Shi Diwen put down the message, he couldn't help but let out a deep sigh. When he returned to Zhoushan, he was very optimistic that although this operation had not been able to completely eliminate the opponent, it had at least eliminated the possibility of the opponent making a comeback. However, investigation results from the north believe that the effect of the action is far from reaching expectations. In the long run, the Hirado clan and the Eighteen Shiba Party will still exist as hidden dangers.
"If I had known this, I shouldn't have withdrawn in a hurry. I should have screened the Jiuzhou side!"
Shi Diwen was a little dissatisfied with this unsatisfactory result, but in fact he knew very well that the Haihan Army's combat method, which relied heavily on logistics, was not suitable for carrying out long-term combat missions overseas. If the coalition's operations are to continue or even further expand the scope of operations, the pressure on logistical support will increase exponentially.
However, the area and depth of Kyushu Island are far beyond those of Hirado Island. If we go deep into Kyushu to pursue the remaining forces of the Hirado Domain, it will be equivalent to voluntarily giving up the advantage of the Haihan Army in maritime mobility. Abolition of martial arts. Moreover, the positions of other local forces on the island are unclear. If the Hirado Clan persuades other forces to unanimously resist the invasion of the Kaihan Army, it will also make the Kaihan Army's operations after landing in Kyushu difficult.
For Haihan, once the material consumption and troop losses in this kind of war are too great, even if the war is won in the end, it may not be a cost-effective result.
At that time, the coalition forces stopped at the Hirado Strait and chose to withdraw their troops. On the one hand, the headquarters believed that it had eliminated the main armed forces of the Hirado Domain, weakened its strength to a historical minimum, and basically achieved its combat objectives; on the other hand, the coalition forces had to start from Thousands of people were transported away from Hirado Island, and the logistics support could no longer sustain it. It was difficult to provide enough supplies for the coalition forces to continue to attack the city on Kyushu Island.
Of course, the most important reason was that they all believed that the Hirado Domain was finished. Even if Tagawasuke was released, he would not be able to restore the former glory of Hirado Port on the ruins. Based on this understanding, the Kaihan Army decisively stopped its action and chose to take away the entire local population and destroy Hirado Port.
Although Shi Diwen felt very sorry, he did not really regret the decision he made at that time. It's just that after such a conclusion is reported back to Sanya, I am afraid that the big guys on the executive committee will be disappointed.
In his reply to the Datongjiang base, Shi Diwen expressed his opinion. He believed that the current negative conclusions were only speculations based on limited information, and there was no actual evidence to prove that the Hirado Domain had the ability to Turn around within three to five years. Therefore, although in theory the Hirado clan is still a major hidden danger, in fact the threat it can pose to Kaihan is quite limited, and there is no need to be too nervous or overreact to this.
At the same time, Shi Diwen also pointed out that the role played by the remaining forces of the Hirado clan is not necessarily negative. At least its existence allows the northern naval forces, including the East China Sea Fleet, to be legitimately in a state of combat readiness, whether it is to expand the establishment Or changing to new equipment, there are more sufficient reasons.
However, Shi Diwen mentioned this in a rather vague way. He believed that even if Qian Tiandun could not taste it, Wang Tom, as the commander of the navy, would definitely be able to understand it.
The practice of threatening the enemy's self-respect is definitely a taboo for generals stationed overseas, but if there are no enemies in the surrounding area that can threaten Haihan, how much attention will the Executive Committee have to the overseas troops stationed? Woolen cloth? If these generals who lead troops want to apply for military expenditures, expand their establishment, and install the latest weapons and equipment, I am afraid they will be subject to greater restrictions.
Not only that, the armies stationed in overseas colonies usually look for opportunities to carry out combat operations every year and a half. The scale may not necessarily be large, but as long as it can prove the necessity of garrisoning, it is enough.
Of course, there will be some special exceptions. For example, Qian Tiandun's special operations group is a special case in the military. This elite force does not have a fixed location. Usually, the special operations group will be deployed wherever there will be large-scale military operations. Therefore, there is also a saying in the military that the place where the Fante Chapter is stationed is the front line.
Based on this special function of fighting tough battles, the special operations group does not need to use some means to demonstrate its role. Military expenditures are guaranteed by the Executive Committee, and the weapons and equipment are all the most advanced models in the military. Even recruiting personnel Expansion is also a green light. As long as Qian Tiandun submits a report application, it will usually be approved by the executive committee quickly.
Therefore, Shi Diwen believes that although Qian Tiandun presided over the investigation work carefully, the conclusions he reached were too straightforward. If some modifications can be made to the wording, the focus of the report that the Executive Committee can see is not the future of eradication operations. It may be more reasonable to focus on the necessity of maintaining overseas garrison establishment to maintain the security of various colonial areas. Wang Tom has spent much more time in Sanya than Qian Tiandun, and he must be very familiar with certain official rules. With him at the Datong River base to remind Qian Tiandun, Shi Diwen believes that the final investigation report will be better than Qian Tiandun's. The one I received now is more appropriate.
After Shi Diwen handled this matter, the next step was to review the Japanese immigration resettlement plan submitted by the civil affairs department. After discussing this issue at a previous meeting, Shi Diwen handed the matter over to the civil affairs department for planning. After three days, a specific implementation plan was submitted.
According to the plan of the civil affairs department, the group of Japanese immigrants assigned to Zhoushan will be resettled in twelve places under the colonial zone, of which three villages and towns are located on Zhoushan Island. Considering that Zhoushan Island has a strong reception capacity, about 500 Japanese immigrants will be resettled in three local settlements, and the remaining people will be dispersed to other islands in the colonial area.
This distribution method of unequal numbers of people has been discussed before. Some places have a larger number of resettlement people. The purpose is to maximize the reception capacity of the resettlement sites and to train the best of these Japanese civil affairs personnel.
Baiquan Town on Zhoushan Island, which will be responsible for receiving 200 immigrants, is the resettlement site with the largest number of people in this distribution plan. What makes Shi Diwen slightly interested is that the Japanese civil affairs officer in charge here is a Japanese monk named Xiunian, and his immigration rating is "B-level superior", which is already very high for ordinary immigrants. Rated.
Shi Diwen had some impressions of Xiunian. He remembered that when he inspected the temporary immigrant camp in Seogwipo, there seemed to be such a monk helping to maintain order in the camp. After arriving in Zhoushan, it seemed that he could get such a high evaluation. Man is still a material that can be made.
Shi Diwen doesn't think there's anything wrong with Xiu Nian's special background. In his opinion, the status of a monk only means that Xiu Nian is a practitioner, but Haihan's law does not stipulate that practitioners cannot serve the government. . In fact, as long as you have the ability and willingness to be loyal to Haihan, these backgrounds are just minor issues that can be ignored.
Shi Diwen briefly looked through the resettlement plan and thought there were no major problems, so he quickly signed it and asked the secretary to return it to the civil affairs department for implementation as soon as possible. These Japanese immigrants had consumed too much of Haihan's funds and food after leaving Hirado, and Shi Diwen did not want to continue raising them in vain. The sooner they are settled in the local area, the sooner they can start production activities.
"Xiunian, pack your personal belongings and report to the camp!"
Xiunian quickly stood up and responded. He knew that this was about to start assigning a real place to stay.
The five-day training period passed by in a flash, and whether the immigrants were ready or not, they had to start facing the next round of arrangements.
Xiunian didn't know where she would be assigned, but the civil affairs official responsible for training more than ten of them inadvertently let it slip that Xiunian's placement should be good. So facing the upcoming assignment, Xiunian was not nervous.
All the Japanese immigrants in the immigration camp were notified. According to the queues trained in the past few days, they lined up in square formations on the playground to wait for the notification. Although they were not standing neatly and were carrying large and small bags in their hands, they were able to line up by themselves according to the instructor's whistle, and the training was not in vain.
Xiunian didn't bring any luggage when he came out of Guangming Temple. He only brought a change of clothes, wrapped in a square cloth, and that was all his belongings. However, he has been living in a temple and can only wear monk's robes all year round. He is not very particular about material life, so he does not feel that his outfit is shabby.
Not long after, the civil affairs official came with a roster and announced to everyone with a tin trumpet: "Those whose names I called should come out and stand out!"
Speaking of names, because these Japanese immigrants were civilians, and almost all Japanese civilians in this era had no surnames, in order to facilitate registration and management, the civil affairs department gave these Japanese Chinese names.
It is of course a troublesome matter for thousands of people to sign up together, but the civil affairs department has been prepared for this and let them draw lots during the registration process. One basket contains dozens of commonly used surnames, and the other basket contains hundreds of commonly used characters. Just register whatever names you find, saving time and trouble.
Before Xiunian became a monk, he was a commoner without a surname. After he became a monk, he used his Buddhist name as his name. He had long been accustomed to it, so he was one of the very few Japanese immigrants who was not named by lot. Xiunian had long since recovered, and even if he returned to secular life in the future, he would still use this name, and Haihan's civil affairs officials did not raise any objections to this.
"Zhao Shui...Zhou Qi...Wang Ding...Ma Wei..."
The civil affairs officials began to call the names from the roster. The immigrants who were called should say "arrive", then take their luggage out of the queue and stand at the designated place to gather. Some people who have not yet adapted to their new names will inevitably react slowly and will have to be called several times before answering, and will inevitably be kicked as punishment.
After counting a group of people, the civil affairs officials stopped and asked this group of people to go to the gate of the immigration camp immediately and follow the officer leading the group to leave. Each batch of immigrants will be accompanied by a small team of soldiers to ensure that no complications arise during the resettlement process. Immigrants who are resettled in areas outside Zhoushan still need to go to the dock to take a boat again.
Xiunian waited for a long time, and saw that more than half of the people were here, but she still hadn't read her name, and she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy at the moment. He did not know that the civil affairs officials were named in order of farthest first and then nearest, so the personnel placed on Zhoushan Island were placed at the back.
