In order to win over the ancient overseas Chinese in the Western Province, Li Jiulong began to use the name of the Republic of Lanfang. He said that he wanted to restore the ancient country of Lanfang. This was only in name. In fact, everyone knew what was going on.
This banner had indeed won the hearts of the people for Li Jiulong. All 12 cities in the province had received the cooperation of the local ancient Chinese. Coupled with the powerful military force, the situation in the province of West was quickly stabilized, at least on the surface.
After hearing this news, the president of the Thousand-island Nation fainted. It was obvious that this was a huge blow to him.
He had thought that it would not be difficult for them to take over Pontenak after mobilizing so many troops and preparing for such a long time. However, it was obvious that things had gone beyond everyone's expectations.
"How is that possible? How is that possible?" When Suharto woke up, he couldn't help but mutter.
"How's the situation now?" When his secretary heard that he had woken up, she immediately rushed in. He immediately began to ask about the situation outside.
The secretary said with some difficulty," The situation is not good. The Chinese rebels have already taken Shankou Yang and Sukadana. I'm afraid that the West Province can't be held anymore!"”
Hearing such exciting news, Suharto almost fainted again. Fortunately, his heart was strong enough.
The next day, he was discharged from the hospital. He immediately called for a high-level military meeting to discuss how to deal with this matter. This was a matter of life and death.
In the presidential palace in Ba City, the general's star flickered. Suharto directly said,"The entire Sicca Province is about to fall into the hands of the Chinese rebels. What should we do now? Your three armies must come up with a solution!”
He was very disappointed with the poor performance of the two armies in this war.
When the Army Commander heard this, he could not help but say with a bitter face,"President, our army has tried our best, but the Air Force is unable to seize the air superiority. Our soldiers can only advance under indiscriminate bombardment.”
When the Air Force Commander heard this, his eyes immediately widened and he said,"Bastard, your army is not good enough. How can you push all the responsibility to our air force? It was clearly your army that failed to suppress the rebels. If your army had paid attention to it and destroyed them before they developed, there would not be today's matter!”
Seeing that the commanders of the two armies were pushing the blame on each other, Suharto could no longer hold back his anger and roared,"Enough. I'm here to ask you to find a solution, not to shirk responsibility!”
When the Army Commander heard this, he lowered his head and said,""President, our army is too small. We don't even have enough troops to defend the country. We can't transfer more troops to suppress the rebels. We have to expand our army!”
"Also, the rebel army's armor is very powerful. We have to buy advanced foreign tanks to stop them!”
"Yes, sir!" After the commander heard this, a hint of joy flashed across his eyes.
The Air Force Commander's eyes lit up when he heard that. He said,"Mr. President, the rebel fighters are very powerful. Our air force has sent all the fighter jets, but we still lost. Our fighter jets are really outdated. We have to purchase more advanced third-generation fighter jets to regain air superiority!”
" It's not transported by sea," Suharto said angrily." It can't fly here!" Besides, our radar didn't detect any large aircraft entering our airspace. Other than these two methods, what other transportation can they use?”
Instantly, everyone fell silent. They really did not know about this. They had already investigated all the places that should be investigated, but they did not find anything suspicious. In the end, this matter was left unsettled.
After the military conference, the Thousand Islands Country's army also began to take action. While recruiting a large number of soldiers, they also sent a portion of the army to the provinces of Central, Southern, and Eastern, hoping to stop the rebels from continuing to expand.
However, even if Li Jiulong wanted to expand, he was powerless. The number of troops was too small. The 1st Armored Brigade had been split into two, and the number of troops was still insufficient.
