Chapter 317: Taking the Liaonei Islands
"Brother, the Java fleet that was originally heading towards Sik suddenly headed towards East Timor."
Gao Jin quickly reported to Li Qing after learning the news.
This Java fleet is also interesting. It clamored to destroy the "Chinese Formation" with great fanfare. After Li Qing finished his speech, he turned directly to East Timor.
"Haha, don't worry. I found out that this fruit is made of steel. Of course I have to find a soft persimmon to squeeze it."
Li Qing waved his hand and continued to lower his head and read today's newspaper.
In the international section of the newspaper, Er Maozi has already issued a message to destroy all nuclear warheads within a time limit, and stated that the nuclear bomb of the "Hua Zhen" was lost accidentally and was not deliberately bought or sold.
"Tsk, tsk, it seems that I have offended Ermaozi this time. It will be difficult to get a large number of cheap weapons in the future."
Li Qing patted the newspaper and chuckled.
He had expected this kind of consequences, so he was not very disappointed. Fortunately, he bought the arsenal and the weapons produced were sufficient for the time being.
It seems that we need to find more supplies!
"Brother, I received news that the Javanese military Tare wants to sit down and talk with you about the conflict between the two sides."
Zhang Qiandan came to Li Qing and whispered.
"Oh, it's not a rat, that's interesting." Li Qing put the newspaper on the table, touched his chin and nodded.
"Tell him back, okay!"
According to his idea, the "Chinese Front" and Java will definitely have to talk. Under the pressure of international public opinion, it is very likely that President Shuha will come in person.
He had already made arrangements, and he would definitely not let Shuha go back alive, but he didn't expect Shuha to be so courageous.
Li Qing's eyes turned. It seemed that Java was more afraid of nuclear weapons than he thought.
In this case, hehe...
"Call Tian Yangsheng and Tuhachi in." Li Qing said loudly.
After a while Tian Yangsheng and Tuhachi came in.
Li Qing stood next to the Java map, "Yangsheng, Tuhachi, I will give you two days. No matter what method you use, you must capture this place."
Li Qing's palm covered an archipelago, and Tuhachi looked at the location on the map. It was the location of the Lionei Islands.
The most interesting thing is that the northernmost tip of the Lionei Islands happens to border the Zengmu Shoal at the southernmost tip of China.
The strategic location of the Liaonei Islands is also extremely important. It can be said to be the gate of Liaonei Province.
If Java goes out of its way to directly blockade the Lionai Islands in the future, the entire "Chinese Formation" will be equivalent to being strangled by the throat.
That's why Li Qing asked the two men to capture the Lionei Islands before Tarei arrived, forming the established fact that the "Hua Formation" occupied Lionei Province and the Lionei Islands.
Hum hum, it is impossible for Li Qing to return the meat that he swallowed in his stomach.
The two set off immediately after receiving the news. There was no dedicated troop transport ship yet, so they had to use destroyers, supply ships and several cargo ships as troop transport ships.
He immediately led people to capture the Lionai Islands and captured most of the islands effortlessly.
In other words, it took a little longer to clean the monkey.
But the two most important islands, Bataan and Bintan, encountered a lot of resistance. After all, there were a lot of Javanese garrison troops on these two islands.
The "Hua Zhen" side also suffered a lot of casualties.
The most important thing is that the "Huazhen" destroyer encountered the Javanese Navy on the northern expedition to East Timor at sea, which delayed some time.
The Javanese naval formation that ended its northern expedition to East Timor was obviously stronger than the "Chinese Formation".
Onboard a Javanese naval ship.
"Opposite the general is the destroyer of the 'Hua Zhen'. Should we destroy it?" the adjutant said bitterly, looking at the destroyer in the distance.
His hometown is in Liaoning Province, and his family members were all eliminated by the "Hua Zhen", and he wanted to kill each other from the bottom of his heart.
"You Shenjing Bing, there are nuclear weapons on the opposite side. Now General Tare is rushing to Sike to negotiate with the Chinese Formation. What do you want to do?"
"But the other side is obviously attacking Bataan Island, and the defenders on the island have asked us for help."
The adjutant said impatiently.
"So? No one can act rashly without an order from the military boss." The navy admiral glared at the adjutant.
Whoever makes a fuss at this time is mentally retarded, don't you know?
I don’t want the black gauze hat on my head anymore.
"But it doesn't make sense if you don't take any action at all. Let's let someone shout and warn the 'Hua Zhen'."
The navy admiral nodded and came up with a good idea.
After a while, a broken Chinese message came from the Javanese naval formation: "Attention, your troops have entered our Javanese waters, please turn back immediately."
Zhang Qiandan on the destroyer "Hua Zhen" dug his ears and said, "Fuck, this Javanese monkey speaks Chinese, why is he so angry?"
"Give me the microphone." Zhang Qiandan took the microphone.
"The Lionei Islands belong to the Huazhen, so don't make such nonsense!"
Zhang Qiandan's reply almost made the Javanese Navy angry to death, and the navy chief was also furious, "Let me tell you!"
"Huazhen destroyer, if you continue to move forward, I will take eviction measures."
Zhang Qiandan didn't dare to show weakness, "Don't push me, if you have the guts, shoot the radar at me!"
The adjutant was so angry that he pulled out his pistol and ran out of the command cabin, pointing a magazine in the direction of the Huazhen destroyer.
Zhang Qiandan was stunned for a moment when he heard the gunfire, and then said with great joy: "Hurry up and call your brother and tell him that Java is firing on us."
Li Qing was shocked when he received the call. He didn't expect the Javanese Navy to be so sophisticated. After he understood the cause and effect of the incident, he realized that the shooting happened several sea miles away.
Li Qing smiled and asked someone to issue a statement quickly, "Our unit has been attacked by the Java Navy in the waters of the Liaonei Islands. If you do not stop it, we will take further action and do not promise to give up the use of nuclear weapons."
International public opinion quarreled again, and the entire Liaonei Province was like a powder keg, as if it would explode if it was not careful.
After Tare learned the news, he scolded the navy commander. Not long after, the Java Navy retreated to Ximan Island in disgrace and ignored Bataan Island's request for help.
Zhang Qiandan and Tuhachi led the team to successfully capture Bataan Island and Bintan Island.
Through this incident, Li Qing also discovered the shortcomings of the "Huazhen", that is, the weak naval power.
But this matter cannot be solved in a short time, and it can only be done slowly. He believes that only when the economy of Liaonei Province improves, there will be money to buy large warships.
Li Qing was also prepared for Tare's arrival, and all security issues were handed over to Ao and others who had just arrived.
The security guarantee here is not the protection of Li Qing, but the security guarantee arranged by Li Qing for Tare.
He guessed that someone definitely didn't want the two sides to reach a settlement!
