Chapter 104 Dongyang Kingdom's Plan
The scene came to the headquarters of Dongyang State, where Navy Minister Yamamoto Noriyuki reported his thoughts to the Emperor: "Report to His Majesty the Emperor."
"The navy of Windmill Country is now in name only, and the navy of Geely Country has also suffered heavy losses."
"Plus, with Prussia eyeing Gili, it's time for us to take over Kalimantan."
Emperor Ito Eiji frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he responded: "Although the fleet of Jili Kingdom suffered heavy losses, they are still the world's number one navy."
"In addition, Kalimantan has a population of tens of millions. In order to prevent Yan Country from occupying this place, Jili Country has deployed five regular divisions."
"And equipped with a large number of imitation Yan Country's Type 2 and Type 4 tanks."
"More importantly, Yan Country will not sit idly by and allow us to easily occupy this place."
Navy Minister Yamamoto Noriyuki quickly explained: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this."
"Gili and Yan signed an agreement, clearly stating that they would not occupy Kalimantan."
“Therefore, it is impossible for Yan Country to tear up the treaty in such a short time.”
Emperor Ito Eiji frowned slightly, with a worried look on his face: "This kind of treaty has no practical effect on the strong."
"If Yan Nation tries to stop us, how should we respond?"
Navy Minister Yamamoto Noriyuki pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps we can adopt a tentative strategy."
"First, send a fleet to attack Kalimantan Island and observe the reaction of Yan Country."
"If Yan Country does not respond, then we can completely occupy this island."
"At the same time, apart from the colonies of Australia and the United States, other regions will also be captured by us in one fell swoop."
"but......"
"Your Majesty, please trust my judgment."
"This island contains the iron ore resources we desperately need, which are vital to the development of the empire."
"Now is the time when the national strength of Jili is weakening. We must seize this opportunity and quickly occupy this land."
The emperor was silent for a while, but finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, you will be fully responsible for this matter."
"But if Yan Country intervenes and stops us, then we will decisively abandon this operation."
"Hi! Your Majesty," replied Navy Minister Noriyuki Yamamoto.
Navy Minister Noriyuki Yamamoto quickly contacted the Combined Fleet via encrypted telegram.
Order them to attack Kalimantan Island and see how Yan Country reacts.
The Dongyang Kingdom’s joint fleet has been preparing in the past few days.
On this morning, Intelligence Minister Zhu Qian cracked a secret message.
At this moment, he was coming to explain the situation to Qin Ruihua: "Your Majesty, our intelligence department has just cracked a secret message."
"According to the contents of the telegram, Dongyang may occupy Kalimantan Island."
Qin Ruihua asked: "Is this news true?"
Intelligence Minister Zhu Qian responded: "Your Majesty, this is a telegram from the Navy Department of Dongyang State."
Qin Ruihua said: "Has the Kingdom of Dongyang become so bold?"
"Don't tell me whether I agree with them occupying Kalimantan Island or not. Don't they take the Kingdom of Jili seriously?"
Zhu Qian, the intelligence chief, responded: "Your Majesty, based on the current situation."
"It's possible that Dongyang saw that the Jili navy had suffered heavy losses and thought that there was an opportunity. In addition, with the support of Prussia, they tried to occupy this place."
"Perhaps the Dongyang Kingdom has discovered some kind of resource that is vital to them on this island."
Qin Ruihua continued: "Doesn't Dongyang Kingdom take our Yan Kingdom seriously?"
"If Dongyang dares to occupy Kalimantan, its fleet must be dealt a heavy blow immediately!"
"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion."
"Since Dongyang Country wants to occupy this island, why not let them succeed?"
"After all, this island has a population of tens of millions. If we want to control this place and make them our citizens."
"With such a large population, a series of problems will inevitably arise in the future."
"And we can use the help of Dongyang State to significantly reduce the population on this island."
"Is this too cruel?" Qin Ruihua questioned.
Intelligence Minister Zhu Qian patiently explained: "Your Majesty, this is not cruel."
“When the population of this island is greatly reduced, we can come to rescue them in the name of savior.”
"In this way, the population on the island will decrease, and we will rescue them from suffering, which will make it very easy for our country to control this place in the future."
Qin Ruihua fell into deep thought, wondering whether it was worth doing this.
If you think about it carefully, it is indeed true.
After all, the population of Kalimantan has exceeded the native population of Yan Country. If it is not properly handled, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble in the future.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to use the power of Dongyang State to reduce the population.
As for some resources on the island, they are not indispensable to Yan Country.
"Okay, let Dongyang Kingdom occupy this place."
"We will launch the attack when the time is right." Qin Ruihua finally made a decision.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Intelligence Minister Zhu Qian said respectfully.
At the same time, Qin Ruihua ordered the Minister of Intelligence to pass the news to Geely State.
The purpose of doing this is simple: to intensify the war between the two countries.
If the Kingdom of Jili learned of this news, they would certainly strengthen the island's military defenses and might even mobilize a fleet to provide support.
As long as the two sides are fighting fiercely, once the Dongyang Kingdom wins, their anger and hatred will most likely be transferred to the natives of the island.
It should be noted that the combined fleet of Dongyang State is quite powerful. Although there is still a certain gap compared with Jili State, this gap is not very significant.
The Jili Kingdom was confused as to why the Yan Kingdom revealed this news to them.
However, they acted quickly, ordering troops on the island of Kalimantan to be on high alert and ready for battle.
As for whether to send a fleet, they decided to give up for the time being after careful consideration.
