Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers

After occupying Batavia and the surrounding territories, Li Shaoyi also knew that it would never end so easily. This was different from the Xiongnu grasslands in the north. The situation here would be more complicated, and something bad might happen if one was not careful.

The area there is vast and sparsely populated. We just need to determine an order and then gradually promote it. With the cooperation of the garrisons in various places, we can basically control it.

But the situation on Java Island is different. The population is extremely complex, especially the local indigenous tribes, who live in deep mountains and forests with inconvenient transportation. For these people, Li Shaoyi's order is very simple, try to open a transportation channel, and there must not be any inaccessible places within our ruling area.

During these few days, the Special Court has captured many indigenous people and sent them to prisoner-of-war camps, forcing them to do some physical labor. However, after hearing the news, more people directly abandoned their houses in the city and returned to their hometowns, which are their original tribes.

These people have five, six or even more lives on their shoulders. If they are allowed to escape like this, the credibility of Li Shaoyi's newly established government will be greatly reduced.

So after a brief discussion, Li Shaoyi believed that troops should be sent into the major primitive tribes, especially some of the more representative ones. Don't think that if you commit a crime outside, you can avoid arrest by running back to your hometown. You could escape from the people of Windmill Country before, but now you can forget about it here.

"Commander Li, I must tell the truth about these things. Although I also want to see these people who escaped back to face trial and accept the judgment of the people, their primitive tribes are hidden in the mountains. Although our army has the advantage, it is too difficult to get them out."

Chairman Chen is not just thinking about revenge. The old man also wants to develop in the long term. We don't want our army to suffer too much loss because of these primitive tribes. After all, we have just established a foothold in the local area and our strength is not yet good enough.

"I understand. I've had my men investigate, and they've basically figured out the situation inside. If we were to launch a ground operation, it would be extremely difficult. Furthermore, the transportation lines to the entrance are controlled by them. Even if we advance with all our armored forces, we'll suffer significant losses. Furthermore, some areas are impassable for armored forces."

What Li Shaoyi said was the truth. The area where the primitive tribe was located was in the tropical jungle, which could be said to be the most backward place. In the past, the people of Windmill Country had no way to deal with them, so they asked them to buy houses and properties outside, and used this group of people outside to threaten the tribal leaders. This was considered to have achieved a preliminary harmony.

But now Li Shaoyi's trial meeting treats these people outside the tribe as criminals, so they have nothing to worry about outside. If they can fight, they will fight, and if they can't, they will return directly to the original tribe. Anyway, all the property outside has been confiscated, so there is no point in staying here.

"That's exactly what I mean. We should just take a long-term view. Let's just remember this for now and settle this account properly in the future. Don't miss out on important matters."

Chairman Chen was relieved to see that although Li Shaoyi was young, he was very cautious in doing things. He was afraid that Li Shaoyi would not be able to swallow his anger and force his men to attack. Although we might win in the end, our losses would not be small.

"Old Chen, what are you talking about? If we want revenge, we should do it on the spot. Ten years is never too late. We in the 72nd Army don't care about that. I just said it would be difficult for ground troops to enter. I didn't say it would be difficult for airborne troops."

After hearing what Li Shaoyi said, the eyes of the soldiers immediately lit up, but Chairman Chen's eyes were confused. Do we even have airborne troops?

Chairman Chen has done some research on the composition of the army, but the airborne troops are an extremely advanced branch of the military among Western countries, and the training is very complicated. Does our new unit have it too?

"Mr. Chen, your eyes betray your inner thoughts. You must be underestimating us. When we were fighting on the grassland, our airborne troops already showed their might."

Guo Dongchuan said with a smile, and President Chen nodded a little embarrassedly. He really underestimated this army in his heart. He originally thought that only the army was stronger. Who knew that two 17,000-ton cruisers would appear and make the Windsor Empire compromise. But no matter how he thought about it, he never thought that this army also had airborne troops.

"Dongchuan is right. Back in the grasslands, our airborne troops were still in the training and exploratory stages, but now they've basically formed combat capabilities. Although the tropical rainforest area is more complex, our air force is strong. In certain situations, as long as we don't rush in and attack one tribe at a time, we can not only train their combat capabilities, but also cleanse these primitive tribes."

Li Shaoyi had read the information about the Windmill Kingdom, including what Governor Mandlake said. They did not have much power to crack down on these primitive tribes. They could only use some deception methods to lure people out and then punish the criminals. As for sending troops to attack, the Windmill Kingdom had done so fifty years ago, but in the end, only more than 900 of the 4,500 soldiers who participated in the battle ran back.

The remaining people all died in the jungle. In addition to the fact that these people were good at jungle warfare, the tropical forest was too humid and contained too many various poisonous substances, which was also an important reason for the heavy losses.

For Li Shaoyi's airborne troops, this is also a very worthy challenge, but if our army retreats at this point, then the development of the army may not be able to continue to rise. This is also a rare training opportunity for our airborne troops.

What's more, if we can find some flat land in the mountains and forests, we can also build some simple airports. When these simple airports are completed, they will not only be airborne troops, but also airborne troops.

Of course, this is just one possibility, but if we do nothing, the indigenous people there will become even more confident, thinking that we are just like the Windmill Country government and that we can't do anything to them. They will commit crimes outside and run back home when something happens. Anyway, you won't come to the jungle to catch me.
