When the Sardinian Air Force began to take off, the Second Wing of the Air Force deployed on Lauter Island and the Fifth Wing of the Air Force deployed in Medan were dispatched at the same time. The target of the Second Wing was the Lion City, and the Fifth Wing
The target is Jakarta. 23us.

British Malaya was the last British colony in Southeast Asia and the closest colony to Lan Fong itself. The British were attacking Lan Fong's Western Province, and Lan Fong was also attacking the British British Malaya.
In this battle that determined the fate of the country, Lanfang and Britain unanimously chose conservative tactics, both starting from stabilizing themselves and gradually approaching the opponent's core area.
The difference is that Lanfang could strategically abandon Sardinia, but Britain had to defend British Malaya.
Once Lanfang occupies British Malaya, Lanfang's air force can set off directly from the Malay Peninsula, threatening India's security. The British may not care about losing British Malaya, but if they lose India, then
It will be an unbearable burden for the UK.
As far as the current national strength is concerned, Britain, with its vast colonies, is indeed a strong national power, but strong national power must be demonstrated by military power. And precisely on the issue of military power, the current situation of the United Kingdom is embarrassing, and it somewhat feels like a foreign power but a weak one.
After Britain declared its participation in the war, just like during the last world war, it issued a call-up order to all colonies, calling on the colonial people to stand up and defend the British Empire.
At this time, an extremely embarrassing fact emerged. The British call-up order did not receive as wide a response as it did during the last world war. Except for India, the Australians and Canadians who performed well in the last world war all
There was not enough response from the British, which cast a shadow over the British Empire's campaign.
Both Australians and Canadians have reasons not to join the war. The Australians are now too busy to take care of themselves and have not yet gotten over the shadow of the last world war.
In the last world war, Australia lost almost all its adult men. It has only been six years now, and the younger generation of Australians have not yet grown up, so even if Australians want to join the war, they are unable to do anything.
Besides, the British have not paid off the pensions they should have paid to Australia after the last world war. This has made the Australians complain. They have long been dissatisfied with the British. It is difficult to recruit Australians at this time.
Ascend to heaven.
The situation in Canada is even more troublesome. Before the last world war, Canada had a population of only 8 million. However, with these 8 million people, Canada managed to muster an army of 620,000 to participate in the First World War.
In the World War, the Canadians and Australians performed equally well. After the Battle of the Somme, the Canadians won the reputation of the vanguard. In the Battle of Vimy Ridge in April 1917, the Canadians paid a heavy price.
It won the victory at the Battle of Vimy Ridge for the Allies, and also won Canada the status of being able to participate in the Paris Peace Conference as an independent country.
The world war resulted in a total of 66,000 Canadian casualties and 170,000 wounded, a ratio similar to that of Australia.
But it is regrettable that after the end of the world war, the commander Arthur Kerry who was responsible for commanding the Canadian troops in the Battle of Vimy Ridge was tried after returning to Canada. The reason was that the troops commanded by Arthur Kerry suffered too many casualties.
It has caused irreparable losses to Canada.
It's so miserable. Even if the Canadians want to join the war now, there is probably no Canadian general who would dare to lead the army in the war. If they lose, they will be criminals of the country. If they win, they will be judged. Canadian generals are all rats in the bellows, both ends.
be bullied.
After all this calculation, the only ones who responded to the British government's call were the Indians.
Indians indeed have a large population. In the last World War, millions of Indian soldiers fought in Europe, and they also fought life and death for the interests of the British Empire.
It can’t be considered a battle. During the entire First World War, the Allies never launched any war with Indians as the main force. Indians only performed auxiliary tasks on the battlefield, digging trenches, moving things, and transporting the wounded.
It was similar to the mission of the Chinese workers at the beginning. The British did not dare to let the Indians undertake any difficult combat missions.
But even so, Indians are still the most dazzling jewel in the crown of the British Empire. Without the participation of Indians, Britain would have to recruit women to fight. Although there was a precedent for this in the last world war, this is absolutely
This is not a scene that the British want to see.
The problems faced by the British mainland are the same as those of France, Australia, and Canada. The British also suffered heavy casualties in the last world war. Although not as tragic as France, where one casualty for every 28 people was, the British ratio was also 57 to 1. The new generation of the British
The vital force has not yet grown up, which makes the British population structure also face a situation of insecurity. With the current strength of the United Kingdom, if no external forces join in, the United Kingdom may be able to persist for a year and a half, but it will not be able to persist for any longer.
Unless Britain also sends women to the battlefield.
After George V issued the call-up order, the Governor-General of India promised to send no less than two million troops to the European continent and the British mainland. This was of great significance to the British government, although the combat effectiveness of the Indian troops was not very good.
, but at least it will make the British army look powerful, so India is a strategic location that the British have to protect. Without India, the British can admit defeat now, because the British mainland has not much war potential to tap.
These problems arise in Lanfang, Britain, France, Australia, Canada and other countries. Lanfang is a young country. The domestic standing army now has two million people. As time goes by, Lanfang can recruit more troops and even increase the total number of troops.
Doubling it is not a problem, so Lanfang has been expanding over the years, while Britain has been exercising restraint. This is not because the British pity the Lanfang people, but because the British cannot afford to fight. The reason why they are declaring war now is because the British
People have no choice but to make choices.
If they have a choice, the British will wait until the next generation of the British grow up, and then it will be time for the showdown between Britain and Lanfang. Unfortunately, Lanfang's expansion momentum is too fierce, and the British have no power to suppress it, so they can only let it go.
beat.
For the United Kingdom, British Malaya was the British forward position. In order to effectively defend Lanfang's superior air force, the British had also racked their brains, and even abandoned their so-called gentlemanly demeanor, and used all means to defend Lanfang's attack.
.
Everyone knows that there are many Chinese people living in British Malaya, and these Chinese people have become the targets of the British. In order to better defend Jakarta and the Lion City, the British built military camps in Chinese residential areas, and the military camps and private houses were mixed.
Together, this caused great trouble for the Lanfang Air Force's air raids.
The Lanfang government also had countermeasures for this. In order to avoid accidental damage, the Lanfang government sent messages to the Chinese in British Malaya through various Chinese associations in the Lion City before the British government declared war, asking these Chinese to leave the Jakarta Lion City as soon as possible.
cities to avoid accidental damage in wars.
The results were not satisfactory. Although the Chinese in British Malaya also had Chinese ancestry, they did not have high recognition of Lan Fong, or even the Chinese identity. Before the establishment of Lan Fong, the British Malaya
The Chinese in Laiya bullied the Chinese the most fiercely. If those Chinese wanted to leave British Malaya, they could have left British Malaya and went to Lanfang a few years ago, since those Chinese were unwilling to go.
Lan Fang doesn’t know how to do it now.
Therefore, when the Chinese community in the Lion City conveyed information to the Chinese community, many Chinese in British Malaya did not take it seriously. Some Chinese were even arrested by the British colonial authorities for spreading rumors and disrupting social order.
Being arrested when the war was about to start, one can imagine their fate. Those Chinese were basically killed as soon as they were put into prison. The British would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go.
When the news reached Lanfang, Qin Zhiyuan's heart was as strong as iron. His order to Zhou Hongguang was to carry out indiscriminate bombing. As long as they were valuable military targets, they would be destroyed, no matter where those military targets were built, even if they were residents.
The district also followed the bombing.
Since those Chinese who refused to leave British Malaya were determined to become banana people, let them prove their loyalty to the British Empire with their lives.
This is war, and there is no mercy for women. The British arrested those Chinese who spread rumors in British Malaya. The Lanfang government did the same thing in Lanfang itself. Since the war started, just over half a month has passed.
, the Lanfang government has sentenced hundreds of people to death for espionage, most of whom are Westerners and Japanese, and of course there are inevitably Chinese.
Qin Zhiyuan will not even spare those pure Chinese who have betrayed the Chinese community, not to mention those banana people. There is only one kind of Chinese in Qin Zhiyuan's eyes. As long as he identifies with Han culture and Chinese tradition, then he is considered a Westerner. Qin Zhiyuan
They will also be allowed to join Lan Fang's nationality, but if they do not agree with Chinese culture and take the initiative to become Lan Fang's enemy and serve as the leader, Qin Zhiyuan will not think that they have been deceived. Betrayal is betrayal. There is no reason and no forgiveness.
room.
Rout Island and Medan are only about 300 kilometers away from the Lion City and Jakarta. For the Lanfang Air Force, it only takes an hour at most to reach the destination.
The British were still prepared. They set off thick smoke in the Lion City and Jakarta, and at the same time raised huge balloons to block the city. There were also air defense positions near the city, and British air force guards over the city, but this was not enough for the Lanfang Air Force.
It's not a problem at all. Lanfang's Second Air Wing and Fifth Air Wing both have sixty fighter jets, all of which are Falcons. No matter which wing they belong to, they can defeat the British Malayan Air Force alone.
capabilities, for the Lanfang Air Force, Jakarta and the Lion City are now undefended cities.
