Are you a spy? Killing the enemy is too cruel.

Shanghai.

In an office building of a heavily guarded naval port.

These days, Ye Feng has been looking through materials and searching for various intelligence information about the Treasure Island.

For him, whether he could successfully recapture the treasure island by leading the underground party's new 1st naval division to land on the island and engage in a firefight with the Japanese invaders on the island was not a problem at all.

Led by him, a navy with a division of strength, even if it is not large, is enough to recapture the Formosa Island.

The issue is……

The real challenge is how to deal with the various problems on the island in the future, stabilize the situation there, and win the hearts of the people on the island.

In this era, not only are the people in mainland China poor, the situation in Taiwan is not much better.

Especially since the Japanese have controlled it for so many years, one can imagine that the Chinese people there are definitely living in dire straits.

How did the treasure island get lost in these decades?

Regarding this question, I believe that many people who have been to school are familiar with that humiliating history. After the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese were unwilling to remain an island country. As the economy prospered and the military became stronger, the ambitions of the descendants of these Japanese pirates continued to soar. In particular, the hawkish imperialist military leaders began to plan war operations and later gradually established the basic national policy of outward aggression and expansion.

This strategy, which later became the infamous "Continental Policy" of the Japanese, aimed to expand southward across the sea with the two places of Ryukyu and Formosa as the primary targets.

As the first step in invading the Formosa Island, Ryukyu became Japan's "appetizer".

Seventy years ago, 69 Ryukyu residents were on a boat that encountered a typhoon and drifted to Bayao Bay at the southern tip of Formosa Island. The boat hit a reef and sank, killing three people. Among them, 3 were killed by local indigenous people such as the Mudanshe people, and the remaining 54 were sent back to Ryukyu by the Formosa local government.

This incident was originally a civil friction, but the Japanese side made a big fuss about it. After more than two years of full preparation, Japan sent troops to invade Taiwan by force.

This is the "Peony Society Incident" that must be mentioned in the history of Taiwan.

One month after the incident, the Japanese army, led by Lieutenant General Saigo Tsunemichi, landed in Langqiao, Tainan, set up camp in Sheliao, and began to attack the indigenous residents of Formosa.

Later, the Japanese army attacked Shimen and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

The mountain people of Mudanshe resisted by relying on the natural barrier of Shimen and killed many Japanese soldiers, but they were eventually exhausted and retreated into the mountains.

The result of the corrupt and incompetent Jiannu regime negotiating with Japan at that time can be imagined.

The Jiannu regime, which was bullied by everyone, kept giving in under the threat of Japan's arrogance and domineering behavior.

In the Mudan Incident, China was not originally at fault - first of all, Formosa is China's territory, and Ryukyu is a vassal state of China. The accidental shooting between the residents of the two places could have been resolved through negotiation, and it had nothing to do with Japan.

But Ryukyu also paid tribute to Japan at the time, and therefore was a vassal state of both countries. Japan used the excuse that residents of its vassal state were being killed to attack the treasure island, the territory of China.

It seems reasonable and well-founded, but in fact it is overbearing behavior.

When the two sides were deadlocked, Japan launched diplomatic public relations, instigating foreign devils from many countries to put crazy pressure on Jiannu, and finally extorted 500,000 taels of silver. The most important thing is that Jiannu regime gave up the suzerainty relationship with Ryukyu, which was tantamount to acknowledging Japan's control over it.

In that year, Japan directly annexed Ryukyu, renamed it Okinawa Prefecture, and made it a local region of Japan. Ryukyu was completely destroyed from then on.

The dispute over Ryukyu created a very bad precedent for the development of relations between the two countries in modern times.

Once Ryukyu is destroyed, the neighboring Treasure Island will be in danger.

The Japanese army invaded Taiwan under the pretext of the "Bodan Incident", which was the beginning of Japan's invasion of China.

Twenty-four years later.

It was the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, a naval battle with Japan. After this battle, the entire Beiyang Fleet of the Jiannu regime was wiped out, and the humiliating Treaty of Shimonoseki was signed, thus ceding the Formosa Island.

Since then, Formosa has been occupied and controlled by Japan.

Even today, decades later, Japanese troops are still stationed on the island.

The Japanese army did not completely control the entire island of Formosa, and the Formosa resistance movement spread throughout the island.

What gives people a glimmer of hope is that in the days that followed, the Chinese people on the treasure island never surrendered.

They fought bravely, especially the "Black Flag Army" led by Liu Yongfu in the southern part of Taiwan, which continuously carried out anti-Japanese guerrilla warfare.

This anti-Japanese guerrilla war lasted for seven years.

In short, the Formosa resistance movement during the Japanese occupation lasted for fifty years, constantly expressing the angry voices of the people of Formosa.

The painful journey of the people of Taiwan in resisting the Japanese invaders is enough to write a thick monograph.

"Commander, are you okay?"

Xiao Jiguang, the commander of the Navy, said puzzledly, "The people of Formosa are still hostile to the Japanese invaders. As long as our army arrives, defeats the Japanese and recaptures Formosa, I believe that the people of the entire island will beat gongs and drums to warmly welcome our troops."

The implication.

Commander, why do you look so sad? Why are you still writing on the paper how to stabilize the situation in Formosa after the war?

As long as Japan is defeated, how can there be any unrest?

The people of Taiwan have long been waiting for our Chinese troops to arrive on the island.

Ye Feng frowned, then smiled bitterly and said to himself, "I forgot that the Shancheng government has not been driven to the treasure island by us yet. The people over there are still on our side."

what?

Xiao Jiguang was even more confused and asked, "Drive the Shancheng regime to the treasure island? This is unnecessary, right? They are now occupying the southwest mountains. If our army is dispatched, even if they want to escape, they can only retreat further south!"

Ye Feng couldn't explain it. After all, that was what happened in his previous life. Before he traveled through time, the Treasure Island, which had been lost for more than a hundred years, had not yet been recovered. From information from various channels, he could see that the people of the Treasure Island had great hostility towards the Shenzhou continent.

What now?

There is still time for everything. This time, we must recapture the treasure island and hold it firmly.

"By the way, how is the pre-war preparation going?" Ye Feng changed the subject.

Xiao Jiguang said, "All personnel have returned to their positions. Now we are waiting for the military factory to provide a certain amount of shells. As long as there are enough shells, we can set sail at any time."

Ye Feng asked, "How many troops are stationed by the Japanese on Formosa Island?"

Xiao Jiguang's face suddenly turned ugly, and he said, "Because we are separated by a sea, Baodao has been firmly controlled by the Japanese for many years. In addition, we mainly fought to recover the island on the main road before, and had no intention of recovering Baodao, so we know very little about the intelligence over there."

"According to some intellectuals who returned, the Japanese had about 16 troops on Formosa Island."

Ye Feng sighed and said, "We only have 12,000 naval troops. We have to land on the island and face an enemy that is ten times our number. I'm afraid our losses will be very serious in this battle!"

Xiao Jiguang said, "Our biggest advantage right now is that all of the Japanese navy, their warships, aircraft carriers, fighter planes, etc., are all in the Pacific Ocean, fighting a fierce battle with the Ugly Country."

Ye Feng said, "Go prepare a supply ship, fill it with fuel, and dispatch a company of veterans to be on standby at any time."

Xiao Jiguang asked, "Commander, are you planning to take a company of soldiers to the island first to find out the situation?"

Ye Feng said, "If our large naval force marches towards the treasure island, we will lose more than half of our men just in the process of landing on the island. In order to preserve our manpower, we should send a small troop combat unit to sneak onto the island first and destroy the Japanese weapons projects, military warehouses, etc."

What experience do the troops in Shenzhou have in landing operations?

In order to reduce casualties, Ye Feng could only make a decision and let himself become the key factor in regaining the treasure island.

Two days later, at ten o'clock at night.

A small supply ship set off, led by Ye Feng, with 150 elite veterans. They left the port of Shanghai in the dark, heading eastward towards the treasure island opposite.

This sea area is unusually quiet.

However, Ye Feng did not dare to be careless. Who knows if he would encounter large Japanese warships halfway?

He does have a scanning system and extraordinary individual combat capabilities, but in the vast ocean, no matter how powerful you are, you can't defeat the Japanese army by just soaking in the sea water, right?

Ye Feng stood at the bow, turned on his map scan to the maximum, and used a telescope to observe the surroundings.

I don’t know how long it took, but I finally saw some faint lights in the distance.
