For Lord Curzon, he can only wait until the Japanese mercenaries transferred back from Indonesia arrive. In addition to those Japanese mercenaries, Curzon also borrowed an additional division of Russian troops, so that he can have 50,000 without worrying.
Although the number of troops with loyalty issues is still small, it is enough to control the situation in the short term.]. As long as they survive this most difficult period and wait for the victory to be decided on the European battlefield, then the Indians will naturally become honest.
, of course, if Britain wins the war, if Britain loses, this land will definitely no longer belong to the British Empire. At that time, whether they like chaos or not will be none of their business.
In fact, as a veteran colonialist who had been in the colonies for most of his life, Curzon had already vaguely felt that even if Britain won the war, India might not be able to retain the British crown in the end.
The most dazzling gem is so close to the giant dragon. It would be a fantasy to say that His Majesty the Emperor of Beijing has no idea about this place.
He had already smelled a conspiracy from the rebellion in Bombay.
Of course, even if he smells a conspiracy, there is nothing he can do. Under the suffocating power of China, let alone him, what can the British Empire do?
"Alas!" Looking at a telegram on his desk, the Governor-General and Vice-President could not help but let out a long sigh.
That telegram was sent from Colombo. A group of battlecruisers built by the Swedish Young Shipyard for the Chinese Navy had just arrived in Colombo, where they were preparing to carry out necessary supplies before continuing to China.
There are nine Hongwu-class battlecruisers. Even Lord Curzon, who is accustomed to the majestic appearance of the British Royal Navy fleet, can't help but his heart beats hard. This means that the position of the world's number one naval power has been
It has changed hands. The British Empire's 150-year maritime supremacy since the Seven Years' War has completely come to an end today.
There are nine battleships and twenty-three battlecruisers. Although I don’t understand why Emperor Yang built so many battlecruisers, judging from the number of battleships alone, the Royal Navy of China is already the new number one in the world.
Just when Lord Curzon was letting out this helpless sigh, in the distant city of Beijing, Emperor Yang was also letting out a long sigh, but he was sighing with relief. After struggling for so many years and two time and space, he finally finally
It has brought this country to the position of maritime supremacy for the first time. The super battleships and aircraft carrier formations from the long-distance training have returned. Together with the last nine battle cruisers in the second batch of shipbuilding plans, the Royal Navy of China will
The most powerful lineup embarks on a voyage to conquer the world.
Two super battleships. Two aircraft carriers, nine battleships, 23 battlecruisers, 20 heavy cruisers, 36 light cruisers, and 100 ocean destroyers. This is the current main force of the Royal Navy of China.
In addition, there are four aircraft carriers under construction at the Dalian Shipyard, which will be ready for service in another year at the latest.
At the same time, due to the need to shift to a state of war, Congress has approved the third batch of shipbuilding plans proposed by the Navy. Different from the previous ones, these four aircraft carriers under construction have also officially appeared in the public plan. This is also
This means that China's aircraft carriers are officially disclosed to the outside world. Of course, it is not the battleships. It is the construction plan. The two that have been built are still kept secret. In other words, these four are the first batch of aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy. Although this concept
It has attracted great attention from various countries, including China. However, no one has connected this special warship that can carry aircraft for combat, which Emperor Yang personally proposed, with maritime hegemony.
And China is not the only one who has proposed this concept. The British are also conducting experiments in this area. It is said that they have begun to modify a heavy cruiser so that it can directly take off and land aircraft.
However, in the third batch of shipbuilding plans, what shocked the outside world is that in addition to these four aircraft carriers, the remaining Hongwu-class battle cruisers are to be built at the same time. Twelve ships will be built at the same time. Of course, this batch will not be built by Sweden anymore, all of them will be built by Sweden.
China's domestic shipyard construction. In fact, the Swedish Young's Shipyard will completely close its warship construction department. From now on, it will only build civilian ships. The military branch of Bofors Steel will also be completely closed. The Swedish Young's Consortium will not be involved in arms production in the future.
, as for the idle workers will all be transferred to work in China, this huge military industrial base has completed its historical mission.
Just as the first batch of Japanese mercenaries set foot on Indian soil and launched an attack on the rebels who had occupied Dhaka, the Chinese Navy held a ceremony in Cam Ranh Bay to officially receive nine Hongwu-class battle cruisers, distant Colombia, and reinforcements in Asia.
After arriving, when the British-Russian coalition launched another attack on the Colombians, the similarly distant Russian army's counterattack in Zhytomyr, Ukraine, was about to begin.
On a road through the forest behind the Russian front, Denikin, wearing the epaulettes of a major general, was standing seriously on a Chinese military vehicle, or to put it simply, on a Willys Jeep, walking along the road
Driving forward slowly, every officer and soldier he passed raised their hands and saluted him with respect. Next to them were Lynx tanks whose engines were already roaring.
There are a total of 300 Chinese-made Lynx tanks here, which form an armored division. Many of these steel beasts are almost brand new, and even the paint on the outside has not been touched. Most of them have not experienced war. These
The tanks will use their steel bodies to kick off the counterattack on the Eastern Front.
War is the best teacher. As the hero of the Russian Army Tank Corps, Major General Denikin already had the prototype of blitzkrieg in his mind. Of course, it was just a prototype. For example, he did not consider the issue of infantry accompanying the cover. In addition,
There was not enough consideration for logistics. In short, the armored division he led had various problems in many aspects. Emperor Yang looked like a group of dizzy fools, but it was undeniable that the man who had just
The famous general is about to conduct the first blitzkrieg in the history of war.
Although his immediate superior, the Commander of the Ukrainian Front, did not agree with this risky tank group attack, Major General Denikin, who was currently favored by the Tsar, insisted on insisting on it, and it was difficult for him to object anymore.
"Warriors of Russia, today will be a glorious day. We will use our tanks to crush the German defense lines, use our cannons to tear their bodies apart, and use our courage to open the road to Berlin.
Follow me, follow your generals, attack, attack, for Russia, for the Tsar, attack!" After reviewing his men, Major General Denikin waved his saber and roared.
Immediately after that, the soldiers roared "Ula".
"Get in!" Denikin said with a wave of his hand, and then he climbed onto the front chariot. Soon the tracks of the chariot began to rotate, and the body weighing more than ten tons slowly moved on the slightly muddy road.
forward.
At the same time as Denikin's armored division moved towards the front, in an open space not far ahead of them, twenty 280mm howitzers mounted on concrete emplacements had raised their muzzles and stood.
The commander not far from the artillery group looked at the pocket watch in his hand with a solemn expression. When the pointer pointed to a number, he waved his hand firmly and said: "Start!"
Immediately afterwards, the twenty terrifying giant cannons roared at the same time almost in an instant. The long muzzle flames shot straight into the sky. The huge shells roared out and hit the German positions in the distance like meteors.
At the same time, on the long front of more than a thousand kilometers from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south, tens of thousands of Russian artillery of various calibers also spurted out flames in an instant, and those densely packed artillery shells streaked across the sky with piercing whistles.
It tore apart the calm on the Eastern Front battlefield and also opened the prelude to the Allied Counteroffensive.
Just a few dozen seconds after the Russian army started shelling, the same dense shells roared from the opposite side. The German army, which had been waiting for a long time, also started retaliatory shelling. Even the German airships behind the battle line were covered by fighter jets.
Take off and prepare to unleash the wrath of hell on the Russians.
The infantrymen on both sides had all burrowed into the depths of the trenches very skillfully at this time, holding their heads and screaming with their mouths wide open, waiting for their fate amidst the terrifying explosions of the shells. This had been going on for three years.
In the past three years, the mud in the trenches has soaked everything. Regardless of honor, courage or loyalty, they have rotted in the mud. For these soldiers, fighting is just a conditioned reflex. What they need is relief, even if they die.
It was also a relief. In fact, it was not uncommon for anyone to commit suicide in the trenches at this time.
During the continuous shelling from both sides, Denikin and his armored division had quietly moved to the position to launch the attack. The soldiers began to make final inspections of the three hundred tanks. As for the officers, they gathered in their
Around the commander, the battle plan began to be laid out according to the map. After all, it was Denikin's first time commanding such a large-scale tank group to charge, including the formation. How to coordinate these needs to be explained clearly, especially the communication between tanks.
Trouble, after all, Yang Feng couldn't have sold them the radio when he sold them the tank.
When the hour-long artillery preparations were coming to an end, he had completed all the preparations before the attack. Then everyone reentered the tank and followed the signal soldier next to Denikin on the command tank to wave the signal.
Flag, all tanks started again at the same time, rumbling forward to the opposite front amid the explosion of artillery shells. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
