Doomsday Commander.

Chapter 287 Didui Island

A meeting of officers above the battalion level of the Zhuguang Army was held at Tang Zheng's official residence.

Compared to the previous times when there were not many people, there were a lot more people this time.

Except for the five regiments guarding the barracks base, the other four field regiments are all here.

There is also a city guard regiment, two armored battalions, and two artillery battalions.

One army aviation battalion, one directly subordinate battalion, one special service, one military intelligence bureau, two special forces, and the Inland River Navy.

In addition, there are security companies who have always been by Tang Zheng's side, as well as scientific research institutes, combat command centers, and the already large number of internal departments.

There are dozens of battalion-level officers here, and Tang Zheng can no longer remember the names of many of them.

After everyone was seated, Tang Zheng personally presided over the meeting this time.

"Everyone is here. You know the current situation without me saying more. The Hanyue Empire has almost become history. Although the royal troops are still there, in fact, the royal family currently only occupies less than one-tenth of the Hanyue Empire. The country’s land area has declined to its lowest point in history.”

"And we were not spared and became an excuse for those people to become independent."

"Here, I want to say that those people chose the wrong excuse and wrong target. They can use me, Tang Zheng, as an excuse today, so don't blame me for using this reason to fight back against them in the future."

"The problem before us now is that the region we are in has restricted our development. At least here, our navy will never be established. At most, we will establish some inland water armies."

"So we must go out and head towards the coast. The purpose of this meeting today is where we are going. Xiaowei, open the map."

Ning Yuwei opened the electronic map, this time it was the entire map of Han Yue.

The map is divided into many blocks, marked with different colors.

Each color represents a country that has declared independence. There are now seven independent countries.

There are also part of Li Wuyou's control area, part of Tang Zheng's control area, the Pearl Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, and the White Sand Islands in the southern blue sea.

Tang Zheng stood up, pointed at the map and said: "The only place we can go to right now is near the ocean, and according to the division of power, there are about five such places."

"The first place is the Dayan Empire established by Chen Hongchang. It covers all the coastal waters east of the Han Yuehara, including the inner bay and the entire western part of the Sea of ​​Storms."

"The second place is the southeastern area. This was originally the headquarters of the Third Army, including the entire Coral Sea and Pearl Strait."

"The third place is the southern area. This was originally the station of the Fourth Army, including the entire northern part of the Blue Sea, as well as the White Sand Strait and Shark Bay."

"The fourth place is to cross the Pearl Strait and go to the Pearl Islands, where there is the vast sea area of ​​​​the Atlantic Ocean."

"The fifth place is to cross the White Sand Strait and go to the White Sand Islands, where there is a blue sea in the central and southern waters."

"These are the sea areas before the Han Dynasty. If you don't go here, you may have to go east along the Tongtian River, walk tens of thousands of miles, and enter the sea area that originally belonged to Daliao, but the distance is too far, and It is uninhabited and does not meet our future strategic requirements, so it will not be considered.”

"It's basically these five sea areas, you should think about it."

After finishing speaking, Tang Zheng sat down and started drinking tea.

The people below began to discuss and analyze the pros and cons of these five places.

After some discussion, the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau finally spoke: "General, I think there are two places that we can give up, and that is the Pearl Islands and the White Sand Islands. Not to mention the distance between these two places, and they are also separated by the strait. We have It would be difficult for the inland navy to cross the strait, so I think these two places can be abandoned."

Tang Zheng nodded when he heard it: "That's right, we really don't have the ability to cross the strait yet, you continue to analyze."

At this time, Captain Chu Xuan of the City Guards said: "General, before choosing, I think there is another problem that needs to be solved, that is, the places we have entered have been divided by several newly established countries. The sphere of influence is over. How did we gain a foothold there in the early days? Did we start building troops and bases in the past, and then confront them? If so, it might be very difficult in the early days."

Tang Zheng also praised after hearing this: "You are right. We cannot confront the enemy on the coast in the early stage. We need a foothold to establish our naval force. Otherwise, the enemy already has a navy, and we If the established base area is bombarded by enemy artillery, it will probably be difficult to gain a foothold, at least the shipyard cannot be saved, so it is important to find the right foothold."

After Tang Zheng said this, everyone narrowed their goals and began to look for a place to stand.

But this place is not easy to find. These coastal forces attach great importance to maritime rights and naval power, and they also patrol the maritime borders. It is difficult to establish a foothold without being discovered.

For example, in Chen Hongchang's Dayan, many survival bases have been built dotted along the seaside, and those are Chen Hongchang's eyes.

While everyone was discussing, Tang Zheng said another thing.

He played a short film, which was shot on the side of Hezhou.

Fish were caught after the ice was blown out of the river in Hezhou.

One of the things that looked like a snake caught people's attention.

"What kind of fish is this? Why does it still have beards?"

"This doesn't feel like a snake. Does this monster look so familiar?"

Everyone talked for a while before Tang Zheng said, "This is a loach."

Everyone opened their mouths wide in surprise, there is such a big loach?
There is Fengming River in their Zhuguang City, and there are fish in the river, and they have never seen fish grow so big.

Tang Zheng opened his mouth to explain to everyone: "The fish in our Zhuguang City can't grow big, because there is Tangtang in the river, and all the bigger fish are eaten by him. His presence restricts the fish in Fengming River. growth." "And we didn't see big fish when we went out this winter, because the river is frozen, and some big fish can't get out of the bottom of the water."

"But in fact, the current aquatic fishes are getting bigger and bigger. This kind of situation can't only happen in our place, but in the whole world. It is conceivable that the fishes on the other side of the ocean must have grown bigger. .”

"Some people may ask, since ocean fish are bigger, why are they not reported in the news?"

"Don't forget that after the end of the world, almost all ships will be scrapped, and no one can go to sea. And those larger fish generally will not enter the shallow waters of the sea, so this kind of report is not seen."

"I am telling you now that there are big fish in the water, not to make you worry, but to be careful. We have found a base and a foothold. We must also pay attention to the fact that the defense situation there is different from that on the shore. Maybe we will have to face it in the future. The enemies are not only humans, zombies and mutant beasts, but also a large number of ocean giants."

This matter was Tang Zheng's speculation, but he was almost certain that ocean giants must exist.

This is also one of the problems that the navy will need to face in the future, especially for small ships, which really pose a lot of risks.

At this time, Guo Yun came up with an idea.

"General, since the ocean is very dangerous, I think we can find a place where the river and the sea meet, such as the estuary of a river. Some big rivers can also pass warships. If there are islands, it will be more convenient. Got a foothold.”

After hearing Guo Yun's words, Tang Zheng's eyes lit up.

At this moment, he followed everyone's gaze and started searching together.

After a while, Tang Zheng's eyes fell on an island.

This island is called Didui Island, located at the mouth of Haojiang River, near Zhonghai City.

Zhonghai is the economic center of Hanyue, and the shipping industry is extremely developed, not only shipping, but also shipping from Haojiang.

At the mouth of the Haojiang River, Didui Island stands like a pearl, dividing the Haojiang River into two and flowing through both sides of the island.

The entire island covers an area of ​​about [-] square kilometers and is the fourth largest island in Hanyue.

Tang Zheng did not forget that one of his requirements for promotion to division commander was to occupy at least three islands with an area of ​​more than [-] square kilometers.

In the entire Han month, there are only five such islands, and two of them are located on the blue sea.

The strategic significance of Didui Island is extremely important, and it is surrounded by water. If it can be captured, it will really be a natural foothold.

I just don’t know if this island is currently occupied by Chen Hongchang’s Seventh Army.

Tang Zheng thought about it and immediately asked Li Xiaoqiang of the TV station to replay the news of Chen Hongchang's declaration of independence.

Soon the TV picture was replayed.

"The four eastern coastal provinces, starting from the Northern Peninsula, Ningbei Province, Haiwei City, Dongyue Province, Zhonghai City, Bulk Province, Qianjiang Province and other places are all under the jurisdiction of Dayan."

When Chen Hongchang said this, Tang Zheng paused the TV screen.

"He didn't say Didui Island?"

Everyone shook their heads and said nothing.

Tang Zheng pondered for a while, Dicui Island is such a treasured place of geomantic omen, it is unlikely that Chen Hongchang has forgotten it.

And the location of this island is so good, it is impossible without people.

So what's the reason why Chen Hongchang didn't say anything here?

After thinking for a while, Tang Zheng broadcast the call to Li Wuyou.

He himself lives in the Northern Territory and doesn't know much about the outside world, but Li Wuyou, who has ruled the empire for half a year, knows more than anyone else.

When the phone was connected, Li Wuyou greeted Tang Zheng. It sounded like he was in good spirits.

After a few words of greeting, Tang Zheng went straight to the point: "Your Highness, do you know the situation on Didui Island?"

Li Wuyou's tone was lowered: "I know, the situation there is very complicated."

"What kind of complicated method?" Tang Zheng asked.

"Dicui Island is located in the area of ​​Zhonghai City. It used to be a tourist resort in Zhonghai, attracting countless foreigners. Many countries have set up consulates there, and many foreign-funded companies have settled there, so it is almost the only foreign country in China. Where there are the most people, there are even more people than in the country.”

"After the end of the world, it has also become a paradise for foreigners. Foreigners from the entire Zhonghai and some nearby provinces have all gone there. In fact, it has been completely occupied by foreigners."

"Now there are many foreign forces established on the entire Didicui Island. In fact, it is no longer under the control of the empire. I am powerless to take back Didicui Island. Especially in the later period, many foreigners have established ties with the country. , It’s really tricky to move the whole body with one hair.”

"When Chen Hongchang announced his territory, he deliberately left out Didicui Island. In fact, it was to avoid suspicion. It was not under his control."

After hearing Li Wuyou's last words, Tang Zheng finally felt relieved.
