Chapter 460 The third capture operation
On the afternoon of May 17th in the third year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao returned from Kongdao to Jidao, and returned to Jicun at around 6:00 p.m.
In fact, the Army’s third prisoner capture operation has officially started. Kong Ming greeted Qu Mao in Ji Village, waving a goose feather fan, and said to Qu Mao, “My lord, Zhao Pan and the others chose the right timing. I know your 20 The Rihui received 99,900 recruitment coupons for its own residents, and started the third capture operation ahead of schedule.
Catch prisoners of war for one night tonight, and start processing the more than 20,000 captured prisoners of war tomorrow morning. It can be processed in about two days, and then continue to let the village chief, island owner, and internal affairs officer process your 99,900 self-owned resident recruitment coupons. "
Qu Mao rolled his eyes and said: "Kong Ming, the rainy season has entered, and there may be new risks in cavalry operations. Zhao Pan and the others cannot take the enemy lightly."
Kong Ming smiled and said: "My lord, this can't be done, don't worry!"
Wait until around 8 o'clock in the evening, Kong Ming, who had been by Qu Mao's side all the time, went to the side to pick up a few remote communications, and then said to Qu Mao: "My lord, the third capture operation is over."
Qu Mao asked: "How is the battle? Does the rainy season affect the cavalry?"
Kong Ming said: "My lord, the rainy season must have an impact on the cavalry regiment, but Mr. Zhao Pan is not an ordinary cavalry general, so he will naturally find a way to solve these troubles.
However, army operations are not as important as naval operations, so as many as 119 soldiers were killed in this wave of prisoner capture operations. "
Qu Mao frowned and asked: "Then how many prisoners of war were captured?"
Kong Ming said: "My lord, the Army is still making detailed statistics, but the number of prisoners of war captured should not be less than 20,000, and the number of landing troops of the third batch of invasion fleets of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance on Jidao Island is even smaller.
If the landing force of the third batch of invasion fleet of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance does not receive further reinforcements, we will launch a capture operation every ten days. We can seal the victory in the battle of the fleet landing force.
Even counting the follow-up cleaning up of the battlefield and cleaning up the mess, the battle can definitely be completely ended before the end of July. "
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "This time the prisoner capture operation knocked out 20,000 troops from the third invasion fleet landing force of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance. It is estimated that their total strength on Jidao is infinitely close to 200,000.
And after we gained a population of 99,900 again on May 20, our total population can exceed about 380,000. After defeating the third batch of invasion fleet landing troops of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance, we should be able to exceed 500,000.
With a population of 500,000, it is already considered quite a small force. If all 500,000 people return to their hearts and there are ocean barriers, it will be difficult for ordinary forces to defeat us.
It's a pity that our 500,000 residents come from complicated sources, and our Yi Village territory is too short after all, there is no way to give up all these 500,000 residents..."
Kong Ming followed Qu Mao's words, waving a goose feather fan, and said: "My lord, Shi Ye, Shi Ye, we also want to develop steadily, but the outside world does not give us opportunities.
But after this time, the Anti-Yi Village Alliance should learn a lesson. It is impossible to defeat us only by the number of soldiers.
It has sent us people and warships three times in a row, and everything is no more than three times. In the future, we cannot continue to expect the Anti-Yi Village Alliance to send us thousands of people, as well as the basic equipment and warships of the navy.
Following up the development of the territory of Yi Village, the subordinates feel that it is more reliable for an adult to increase 100,000 self-owned residents in one go, even if the qualifications are only ordinary qualifications.
If we develop for more than ten years, the population will also enter a benign natural growth link. My lord, you need to be clear that the ratio of young and middle-aged male to female population in our Yi Village territory is relatively high, so the natural increase in population will be very considerable. "
Qu Mao thought for a while, and said: "Kong Ming, Zhongdao and Jidao continue to go south, and there are still 11 islands. There are only 3 islands with vegetation, and the size is about half of Yidao. There are still eight islands. The deserted islands are only 5 kilometers to 10 kilometers away from each other, and the size is only about empty islands, but they are about the size of outlying islands when connected.
So after this war is over, we need to develop the remaining 3 islands with vegetation and 8 desert islands at the same time.
My idea is that although the three islands with vegetation are only half the size of Yi Island, they are somewhat different and have some development value. Since there are vegetation, there must be fresh water resources.
As for the eight deserted islands, look back to see if there is a relatively shallow sea area between them, and fill them in directly to develop as an island, or build a cross-sea bridge, or build a cross-sea pontoon bridge. "
Kong Ming's goose feather fan was obviously shaking faster, and he murmured: "My lord, you are worried that after the battle with the third batch of invasion fleet landing troops of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance, our existing Yi Island, Outlying Island, Sky Island, Can the five islands of Jidao and Zhongdao hold 500,000 people?"
Qu Mao shook his head and said: "Not exactly, after I took Su Yan to visit Yidao, Su Yan told me that Yidao has been fully developed and can accommodate at least one million people.
The outlying island is much larger than Yi Island, so it can naturally accommodate more people.
My idea is to develop this sea area earlier, so that our own residents have a sense of belonging and can fight to the death for the territory of Yi Village, so that we can plan to help Su Yan restore the country. "
Kong Ming pondered for a long time, and after shaking the goose feather fan so that Qu Mao felt a bit of coolness, he opened his mouth and said slowly: "My lord, there are 905 villages that have been built and built, including Yi Village, Yi Village, Yi Village and Ji Village. Except, in fact, at least 450,000 pure residents can be accommodated. Yi Village is 9 square kilometers. Only workers, businessmen, officials, and students can accommodate at least 200,000 people. Yi Village, Yi Village, and Ji Village are all 4 square kilometers, at least It can accommodate 50,000 people, so we can accommodate 800,000 people.
According to a 20% military-to-civilian ratio, it means that we can have an army of 160,000, and the navy has no specific ratio, but judging from our five islands, there is no problem with a navy of 500,000.
Your Excellency, you also know that we have some things that cannot be measured by common sense. For example, food is seasoned once a month, so even if half of the population is soldiers, there is no problem. This means that our current infrastructure can accommodate 1.46 million or even 1.5 million people population.
My subordinates do not object to the development of the other 11 islands at the same time, but if within two or three months of fighting against the third batch of invasion fleet landing forces of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance, we can still gain 200,000 of our own population, I think this is Things can be done. "
Qu Mao nodded, and said, "You make preparations first, and I will figure out a solution for the population."
