Regardless of other aspects of Marx's doctrine or how it was used by those who used it, his philosophical proposition that "the environment changes man" still has a considerable truth that has been tested in scientific practice.

Vice Admiral Luknar, leading the main force of the Chinese fleet, appeared off the coast of Calcutta. Naturally, this could not but cause nervousness among the British in Calcutta, who were already left with the main fleet of the Navy.

Of course, no one can deny that this is a fortressed city. Since the days of the Indian Company, successive British governments have spared no effort in investing here, not only building sturdy large-caliber shore gun batteries on the nearby coast, but also building many barracks and supply warehouses in the bases near the city.

These are the magic weapons that have always been used to deal with Indian rebellions, fleets, heavy artillery, and those sturdy pillboxes. From the Indians' point of view, they have been defeated in several uprisings for national freedom.

Naval supremacy gave the British army unparalleled mobility. The abundant supplies made the British and Indian armies, which were already quite capable of fighting, even more invincible when dealing with the insurgents.

It is a pity that due to the reinforcement of Australia, here they have very little strength, both aircraft and warships. Although the number of troops on land was not large, they were still somewhat useful in dealing with the Indian uprising, but they were not effective at all against the Chinese fleet.

And those are very few! One! Root! Read! When 50 planes and large-caliber naval guns attacked, they could not even play a decent role.α As for the several cruisers and destroyers used for patrolling in the harbor, they were very neat, and the resistance was quickly ended under the 402-mm naval artillery bombardment!

Some people will say that battleships are just that, not to mention aircraft carriers, whose huge bodies allow them to carry more supplies and operate at sea for a long time. But what about other warships? What about the fuel and supplies they use? Why did the Chinese fleet cross the vast Indian Ocean and go straight to Calcutta without being noticed by the islands along the way? Don't they even need fresh water?

For the "Qindao regime," which has 150 airships at the moment and can transport 4,500 tons of supplies thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers away at any time, it is not too difficult to replenish such a fleet by air.

Therefore, the fleet does not even have to try to replenish fresh water, all the supplies come from the support of airships, they only need to track the signal of the special channel of the "improvised aircraft carrier", and naturally it is not difficult to find them at sea and carry out replenishment operations.

This would allow the fleet to be at sea, without having to be close to any of the islands that might leak its whereabouts, and all the way to Calcutta. As for the attack on the other side, what even his student Jindawi could do well, Vice Admiral Luknar was naturally not a problem.

As always, the air power blocked the sea passage and the nearby batteries, and the large-caliber shells from the six battleships smashed into the defenses all over Calcutta. Whether it was used to fight against the navy, the batteries that were suppressed in the air at the moment, or the barracks, all trembled under these 1-ton shells.

Sure enough, the bombardment of the heavy artillery was very effective, just like the power of those Great Berta siege guns, a shell came down, it was a ghost crying wolf howl, and the British army in Calcutta enjoyed the treatment of Belgian soldiers in the fortress of Liège. When the heavy artillery fortresses on the shore could no longer withstand such a blow, they raised the white flag at the request of the other side and surrendered unconditionally.

After all, they are required to have absolutely no air power, almost no decent naval power, to fight against a fleet of this size. It's an unreasonable, suicidal request.

Fortunately, the First Fleet of the Chinese Navy under the leadership of Luckner did not embarrass the local British colonial government, that is, did not put a large number of British people in concentration camps, nor did they humiliate or massacre them again after the other side surrendered. They merely demanded that they continue to maintain order in Calcutta according to the battle plan, and that they should not be hindered from dismantling all the facilities owned by the British Government.

For example, port facilities, coastal heavy artillery, ship building facilities, including all the strategic materials, weapons and ammunition, food and medicine owned by the British government, in short, in the eyes of these bandits, as long as they belong to the British government, then now they belong to them. Since it belongs to them, it is their own business to dismantle it and sell scrap iron, and outsiders cannot interfere.

What is particularly infuriating is that after asking the British prisoners of war to empty the warehouses owned by the British government, they also loaded the equipment of the British troops who had surrendered onto the ship, but what is infuriating is that they did not collect the equipment of the Indian soldiers, and sent people to talk to these Indian soldiers about national self-determination.

As the capital of the British in British India, Calcutta is known as the "City of Palaces", and the wealth contained in the city is on an order of magnitude in the East.

To the outrage of the British Indian government, not only did these guys outfit warships, but even the day after they arrived, there were hordes of airships flying in the sky, and they didn't know where so many airships came from. All the things of value that belonged to the British government were loaded onto ships and boats, and transported to the unknown.

As for the British ships and submarines that were still sailing, they were also escorted out of India, and no one knew exactly where they were going.

It also includes the library in Calcutta, the British government's museums, and even the trams and railways, as long as they can be dismantled, and as long as their fleet is not pressed to the bottom of the sea by supplies, it seems that they have no intention of stopping.

Everything that belonged to the British government, they did not even let go of the British "rice" flags that fluttered everywhere, and it was said that they could be used as tablecloths when they were taken back.

Having said that, these sailors of the Chinese fleet reassured the locals that no one engaged in "amateur activities" such as robbery or **, even if it was a prostitute, they would pay the bill.

This time, the British government lost a lot of money. In total, the loss of supplies in the port of Calcutta did not cause any permanent damage to the colony, but the British still understood where the permanent damage was.

The loyalty of the Indian soldiers, who had been permanently damaged, was now the only army in Calcutta and nearby territories that was legally armed. Originally, during the First World War, some of them were already fighting for the freedom of the nation, but now they have the opportunity and the weapons.

The only problem is that no one knows whether the "Chinese fleet" anchored near the port will be willing to allow this to happen during the time they are in charge of it, which is something that the Indians are not sure about.

Soon the news reached England, and David . Lloyd's. Prime Minister George strictly blocked the news at the first time. After many private discussions and understandings, he concluded that it was impossible to win a large-scale war with the other side on the sea.

In particular, when the number of planes stationed in Shandong has reached 2,000, even if the navy and army are willing to pay a considerable price, it is still impossible to attack Shandong from the sea. Because there is no guarantee that after the losses will be able to send enough troops to face the tank divisions on the shore.

Revenge is not possible for the time being, and in addition to this, there is another thing that makes David. Lloyd's. Prime Minister George was worried. That is, while Britain was exhausted in the First World War, India's independence movement was surging, and if they had colluded with the Chinese Navy, I am afraid that India would not be the India of Britain.

So, the British government, exhausted by the war in Europe, was still able to organize its military forces to reconquer India, the South Seas, and China after the war? If not, it will be cheaper for the French who have been in Cam Ranh Bay, and when they occupy these places, it will not be easy for them to spit it out again.

For the sake of Britain's economic interests, for the smooth running of Britain's war in Europe, and for the Indian colonies not to rebel, David . Lloyd's. George finally got a compromise mandate in Parliament.

Naturally, this incident provoked the arrogant John Bulls to want to immediately fight the "Kotoshima regime", but sane politicians knew that it would be foolish to do it now. Even if not enough "large aircraft carriers" are built, but the kind of "simple aircraft carriers" that are easy to build, it will be a ripe opportunity to deal with the Chinese only after cleaning up the German ocean fleet.

But this "ripe opportunity" will be a long time before we know when the war will end. And most people consider the premise that unless a huge "eight-nation coalition army" is organized, it will not be easy to deal with these guys who are armed to the teeth.

In such a situation, the British appeared to be particularly "reasonable", and a telegram was sent across the sea to the city of Peking, and then to the city of Qindao in Shandong, where the British minister, who had already known that Britain had lost face in the conflict, and had begun to worry about his future.

Of course, there is no need to worry too much about Tang Yunyang and his "China Renaissance Party" and "Chinese National Defense Force", and he does not know what will happen in the future, but he has obtained complete information from the witch Marianne and the spy network set up for him in Britain for the current negotiations.

All this is not much different from the outcome he had already thought of when he planned to help the Germans seize Irian Island. And the success of this operation was nothing more than a farcical operation launched by the British arrogant.

At the very least, he knew that his luck would not always be so good, and that when the war was over, he would likely face even tougher challenges from the West.
