Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

In fact, Xue Dingshan's plan to attack the Kingdom of Sumatra was to have one division responsible for one island and just attack slowly.

After all, he had already learned from Lin Yi that the empire had no intention of taking action against Tianzhu in the short term, at least until the end of June 1914.

This means that he has at least 7 or 8 months to solve the Kingdom of Sumatra.

When he was not in a hurry, he naturally wanted to keep the pressure on Tianzhu as much as possible. Therefore, he felt that the strength of five divisions was enough. Just slow down.

The Third Division is responsible for Kalimantan, the First Division is responsible for Sumatra, the Second Division is responsible for Irian Island, and Sulawesi and Java Island are handed over to the Sixth and Seventh Divisions.

It just so happened that one division was responsible for one island. The number of troops stationed on each island is only 2, which is about the same as a division.

But in terms of weapons and firepower configuration, Daxia's Longxiang Army can be said to have crushed them.

Let’s not talk about the other directions. On the island of Kalimantan where the Third Division is located, the Third Division encountered almost no obstruction.

Whether it is the local garrison or the Dutch infantry battalion, when encountering the third division, it will basically collapse at the first touch. In less than half a month, the Third Division recovered all the territory of the original Lanfang Kingdom, killing and wounding nearly 3000 people and capturing 2000 prisoners.

A quarter of the garrison stationed on Kalimantan was wiped out. All the remaining soldiers fled to the south of Kalimantan, hoping to escape back to Java through the Java Strait.

But at this time, Java Island was also facing the attack of the Seventh Division, and there was no way to support Kalimantan Island. At the same time, the Java Strait was blocked by the imperial special fleet.

It turns out that the Dutch still have a fleet in the Kingdom of Sumatra, but it is very small. It only has an old cruiser as the flagship, coupled with some small old frigates and speedboats, the total tonnage does not exceed [-] tons.

As a result, the special fleet wiped out this squadron at the beginning of the war.

At this time, there was not a single warship to be found in the entire Kingdom of Sumatra.

Therefore, the Sumatran soldiers who were divided on various islands could not get together at all and could only fight stubbornly on their respective islands.

After the third division assisted Lan Fangguo to regain all its territory, it took a few days to rest and then continued to march towards the southern part of Kalimantan.

Under the leadership of the Nationalist Army, the Third Division fought with Sumatran soldiers stationed on Kalimantan in three places: Moravi, Palangkaraya, and Danara'u.

Finally, the entire garrison was wiped out in Danarawu.

The Battle of Kalimantan lasted less than 2 months, but nearly 8000 people were killed and injured, and more than [-] prisoners were taken. Only a few indigenous soldiers fled the battlefield.

However, these escaped soldiers cannot affect the overall war situation. For now, Kalimantan Island is already a piece of meat in Daxia's mouth.

The situation on several other islands is similar to that of Kalimantan.

In January 1914, the war in Sumatra had overall stabilized.

The Dutch Governor announced his surrender on January 1914, 1, and on the 15th, he signed a surrender agreement with Xue Dingshan on the battleship Qinhuang in the waters off Jakarta, Java Island.

Returned control of the Kingdom of Sumatra to the Bactrian Empire.

But a new problem arises. That's what to do with the Kingdom of Sumatra.

After all, although the Kingdom of Sumatra at this time was not the fourth largest country in terms of population, the population of the entire kingdom was almost over [-] million.

With such a large population, it was not the best choice for Daxia to become a kingdom.

Therefore, after discussions with the military department, it was decided to split the Kingdom of Sumatra into several kingdoms.

The first is Kalimantan Island. This island was officially renamed Lanfang Island, and the entire island belongs to the Republic of Lanfang.

Next is Sumatra Island, where the King of Sumatra's capital is located. Together with the Mentawai Islands near Sumatra Island, Bangka Island, and Belitung Island, the Kingdom of Sumatra is still the capital of Sumatra City.

The Kingdom of Java, which consists of Java Island, Pangkaran Island, Bali Island, and Nusa Penida Island, has its capital in Jakarta.

The Dili Kingdom, which consists of West Nusa Tenggara, East Nusa Tenggara, Sumba and Timor, has its capital in Dili City.

Finally there are the Kingdoms of Sulawesi and Papua.

Since then, the Kingdom of Sumatra, which was originally a country of ten thousand islands, was split into six independent kingdoms by the Bactrian Empire.

Between these kingdoms, except for Lanfang Kingdom, the other five kingdoms are relatively hostile to each other. Especially the Kingdom of Sumatra, and now looking at the other five kingdoms, it is really like looking at rebels.

The Lanfang Kingdom has its own empire behind it and does not care about the hostility of the Sumatra Kingdom. Instead, it focuses on developing its own livelihood industries.

In particular, Lanfang Kingdom is still a kingdom with Han people as the upper class. They know very well that as long as they have the support of Daxia, Lanfang Kingdom feels that they can sit back and relax. Therefore, they don't care at all about military development, but try their best to make money.

The best way to make money is to grow rubber and sell it to the empire.

Except for Lanfang Kingdom, the other five kingdoms began to arm themselves continuously. Want to use force to protect their own power or annex several other kingdoms.

Daxia actually noticed their competition, but didn't take it to heart.

For Daxia, he only needs a less stable Sumatra kingdom, and it is best that this kingdom can provide itself with resources. As for these countries, the last few remaining, they don't care at all.

However, Lan Fangguo is not among them.

The empire can still take more care of Lanfang Kingdom, which is also composed of Han people.

In fact, this also laid hidden dangers for the outbreak of civil war in the Sumatra Islands later, which caused turmoil in the southern seas of the empire for several years and seriously threatened the security of the entire southern seas of the empire.

Of course, this is all a matter later. But now, the empire is still very satisfied with the Sumatra Islands being divided into six.

Similarly, after dealing with the war in Sumatra, the empire's road to Australia has been opened. The next plan now is to find a way to land on the Australian mainland and strive to capture Australia, the most important area of ​​the John Empire in Asia besides Tianzhu.

But at this time, a sudden piece of news reached the empire from the European continent, catching everyone in the imperial military headquarters by surprise.
