Chapter 421: Sixteen-Nation Alliance
Less than a month after the subsidence, war is once again raging in Burma, this time on a much larger scale.
The Legis has assembled the armies of its allies, known as the "Sixteen-Nation Alliance", of which thirteen countries have sent troops, and the other three countries have only provided support operations such as sea transportation.
From the early morning of the 19th, the coalition forces launched several waves of fierce offensives against the Black Dragon Army, and the main battlefield was in the area around Neidu.
This time, the Lijian army really did not have the slightest contempt, and dispatched more than three divisions, plus coalition troops, the number exceeded 80,000, and the Burmese government army of 300,000 troops.
And the Black Dragon Army is only 40,000 troops at full strength, and will face a siege of ten times the strength of the enemy.
In addition, although the USS Washington aircraft carrier battle group had learned from the past, the country still sent a task force consisting of three aircraft carrier battle groups, and strengthened its air defense and anti-submarine capabilities, and was careful along the way to avoid a mysterious attack from underwater.
This is completely a lion Bo Rabbit, and he also uses all his strength to stance.
Some people don't understand why the Ligian Congress attaches so much importance to the Burmese state and a Black Dragon Army.
And the discerning people can see that Li Jianguo is Xiang Zhuang dancing with swords, and he intends to be Pei Gong!
Over the past year or so, Xinhua has undergone tremendous changes, and has been developing rapidly in all aspects by virtue of its achievements in high and new technology.
The invention of special rare earth nano batteries has almost reborn Xinhuaguo.
The application fields of new batteries are ubiquitous, including aerospace, electric power, transportation, energy, chemical industry, metallurgy, precision instruments, household energy storage, etc., which is enough to drive the fourth scientific and technological revolution in the world.
The application of the new battery in submarines, tanks, combat vehicles, transport planes, helicopters, warships, airborne radars, communications equipment, and other weapons and equipment will greatly enhance the military strength of the new country.
The war in the South China Sea has put electric weapons and equipment in the limelight. It has also allowed countries around the world to see the military strength of Xinhua. Even several countries that have always been very arrogant in territorial disputes. There was a lot of silence too.
National defense is only one of the areas, and the application of new batteries in the civilian economy is where the power lies.
If it can be mass-produced, it will be able to leverage tens of trillions of dollars in output value, which is equivalent to the world's GDP in a year.
The improvements have resulted in an energy storage density of an astonishing 10 kWh per kilogram, which is equivalent to gasoline when converted into calorific value, while the electric motor is twice as efficient as other heat engines.
With different models of batteries in high, medium and low end. In the comprehensive promotion of the civilian market, great achievements have been made in all aspects, and the state has accelerated the construction of relevant supporting facilities and carried out large-scale readjustment of the industrial structure.
Taking the automotive industry as an example, major domestic automobile companies have launched electric vehicle projects, gradually squeezing out the market of foreign brands with extremely high cost performance, especially the low-end automobile market.
In aviation, Xinhuaguo is developing an electric propeller-propelled passenger aircraft with a new type of battery. If successful, it could save at least half the cost. So as to occupy more than ninety percent of the world's aviation market!
In the power system, the loss of the current AC transmission system can be greatly reduced, and the power storage system composed of new batteries can make the maximum range of power utilization......
Once the technology of mass production of such super batteries is mastered, it is very likely that in the near future, it is very likely to subvert and replace the current petrodollar system and establish a new international energy financial system.
It is precisely because of the popularization of these scientific and technological achievements that Xinhua no longer relies on large-scale exports to boost its economy, but expands domestic demand, raises the people's income level and living standards, and arouses their enthusiasm for consumption, and its comprehensive national strength is constantly increasing.
It is precisely this that the high-level and think-tanks of Li Jianguo have seen this, and believe that if they are given a few more years of peaceful development, Xinhua will truly challenge Li Jianguo in terms of comprehensive national strength and military strength!
Only by interrupting the rise of Xinhua can Lijian maintain its position as a global hegemon.
And Tong Guò is undoubtedly a good opportunity to win over the Burmese state and fight the Black Dragon Army.
Even without the existence of the Black Dragon Army, the Lijian State would provoke incidents in the East China Sea, the South China Sea, or the southwestern border, interrupting the peaceful development process of the Xinhua Kingdom.
If the coalition forces really eliminated the Black Dragon Army and occupied the strategic location of Burma, Xinhua would be equivalent to cutting off an arm and opening the southwest gate.
When the enemy picks up a gun and threatens you, if you don't want to sit still, you can only pick up the gun and go to the battlefield.
In order to understand and relieve the pressure of the Black Dragon Army and contain the coalition forces, Xinhua also dispatched two aircraft carrier fleets and began to deploy troops in the South China Sea.
It also seized the opportunity to issue an ultimatum to several Southeast Asian countries that have territorial disputes, demanding the return of the occupied islands within a limited time, and if they fail to do so within the time limit, Xinhua will take measures, including force.
At the same time, the official spokesman of Xinhua claimed at a press conference that the existence of the coalition forces would only plunge Southeast Asia into turmoil and war, and demanded that the participating countries disband the coalition forces, withdraw from Southeast Asia, and resolve the dispute through peace negotiations.
This ultimatum was given, and the world suddenly became lively.
If both Lijian and Xinhua join the battlefield, it will be one step away from a world war.
The Philippines, Malay, Indonesia and other countries that joined the coalition were a little panicked and hurriedly asked for help from the Lijian countries that had gathered heavy troops in Southeast Asia.
Since the Philippines was robbed of 172 tons of gold reserves by Ye Quan, the financial market has been attacked again, high-level officials have been exposed to scandals one after another, and the government has fallen into a huge financial crisis and a crisis of confidence.
Fortunately, there is a "godfather of the country", during the South China Sea War, he gave some military equipment to the Philippines that was about to be decommissioned, and after joining the coalition army, he received a batch of military aid from Western countries.
However, in the face of the rapid development of the Xinhua Navy in the past two years, that bit of strength is vulnerable.
Although Indonesia's military strength is not much stronger, although the navy has more than 140 ships of various types, there are less than 10 main warships, the air force is not large, and the equipment is also very backward.
The strength of the Malay air force is stronger, but the strength of the navy is not worth mentioning, and there is almost no sense of zài.
In the face of Xinhua's strong advance in the South China Sea, the country did not budge an inch, and the National Assembly quickly passed a resolution to increase troops in Southeast Asia, launched an emergency plan to step up the deployment of troops, and the country almost entered a state of all-out war.
On the 23rd, the fourth day after the start of the second battle of Burma, with the support of Lijian and other Western countries, the Philippines, Malay, Indonesia and other countries sternly rejected Xinhua's territorial claims and desperately strengthened their war preparedness.
After being refused, Xinhua began its operation, crushing the combined fleets of several countries in just a few days, and successfully occupying dozens of islands, including the disputed territories of Natuna, Grand Subi, and Palawan. (To be continued......)
