"Your Majesty, the battlefield in Afghanistan has changed, and the British are probably going to be unlucky this time!" Chief of the General Staff Christoph gloated

"You're saying the British are going to lose? Not so fast, they still have 300,000 troops, and the Afghans are a group of militias, and they don't have much training at all.

Even if some weapons and ammunition are smuggled from us, it will not make up for the fact that their weapons and equipment are backward! Ferdinand shook his head

"Your Majesty, the current situation on the battlefield is very unfavorable to the British, and the terrain in Afghanistan is very complicated, in the past few months, the British have lost a series of soldiers, the number of casualties has exceeded 100,000, and a large amount of supplies have been lost.

Fortunately, the people they sent this time were basically cannon fodder, otherwise whether this war could continue is a question! Christophe explained

Ferdinand nodded, it seems that with the combat effectiveness of the British colonial troops, in a special environment, they really can't defeat these militias!

But in the face of the invasion of the United States and the Soviet Union in later generations, they were able to resist the fighting nation for several years, and they were really not afraid to deal with Ah San in this period.

"What's the reaction of the London government?" Ferdinand asked with concern

"Your Majesty, there have been anti-war voices in Britain, and some parliamentarians think that the war budget is too expensive and want to cut the war budget!" Foreign Minister Metev replied

"It's a matter of time before we oppose the war, and now the moderates in Britain have the upper hand, so it can be said that if it weren't for our push, it is estimated that they would not have launched the war in Afghanistan!

Now that there is a rebellion in the colonies of Southeast Asia, the British are expected to spend more on the war this year than they will all receive, and this will continue until at least next year!

What can you do to strengthen the resolve of the British to continue the war? Ferdinand asked

"Your Majesty, on the battlefield in Afghanistan, we can put pressure on the British to think that once they abandon Afghanistan, we will annex the Afghan region, so that they do not dare to give up lightly!" Foreign Minister Metev proposed

"This can be had, but you have to grasp this degree, don't play around, I don't want to really send troops to Afghanistan!" Ferdinand said

"Your Majesty, maybe you can work public opinion, as long as the people's enthusiasm for war is mobilized, then the London government will continue the war!" Chekov proposed

"Good idea, do you have a concrete plan? You must know that the current anti-war ideology in Britain has occupied the mainstream, and it may not be so easy to get them to support the war! Ferdinand thought for a moment and said

"Your Majesty, if we only exert our strength, it will indeed be difficult to change the public opinion in the UK, and this work will not be so difficult if it is left to the British main war faction to do!

We let the intelligence officers take some special photos, let the British media expose them, and stimulate the hearts of the British people to hate the enemy! Chekov thought for a moment and said

"You can give it a try, but if it's just a photo, you can go to Royal Pictures and let them make what you want!

Blur the photo and then poke it to the media in London, remembering that it must not have anything to do with us! Ferdinand thought for a moment and said

In this era, playing fake photos, as long as the picture is a little blurry, it is really difficult to identify the authenticity, with the discipline of the media, even if there is suspicion, but in order to create a topic, they will also hype themselves.

As long as the fire is lit, the British main battle faction will charge into battle. It is a pity that Mr. Churchill is not in London now, otherwise there would be no need to worry about public opinion.

But having Mr. Churchill in command of counterinsurgency forces in Southeast Asia would cause even more trouble for the British Empire.

After all, in this time and space, without the outbreak of the Battle of Dardanelles, there would have been no epic defeat, and Mr. Churchill's military command talent had not been fully exposed, and as a colonial minister during this period, he could completely command this counterinsurgency war.

This is also due to the British system, where the highest ranks of the army are held by civilian officials, and officers have a low say in the country.

These generals on the front line, even if they know that there is a problem with the order, they must first carry out the order, even if it is useless to appeal to the War Department.

Civil-military disputes exist in every country. In the Royal Navy of the British Empire there is still some right to speak, and the army is raised by the queen, which is already doomed from the time they hanged Charles I!

……

When Ferdinand was calculating the British Empire, the situation in Southeast Asia underwent new changes, and with the covert support of the Japanese military, a large number of retired Japanese officers and soldiers entered Southeast Asian countries.

They appeared in the rebels as military instructors, and they were not pressed by the debt, and since the British said that they were supporting the rebellion in Southeast Asia and moved their cheese, then they really supported it.

In addition, there is an army composed entirely of Japanese expatriates, their numbers are small, but their combat effectiveness is very strong, and the British army really can't roar under the same strength.

However, Mr. Churchill was completely unaware of these subtle changes, and as he watched the reinforcements increase day by day, he was calculating when to begin a major counteroffensive.

This is not the end, the Japanese navy has already formulated a sunset plan, that is: by supporting the local rebel army, sneak attack the British military port in the Nanyang region Singapore, and then seize the British warships in the harbor.

This fabulous plan is estimated to be something that the Japanese can work out, and probably every Japanese soldier is a superman, otherwise this plan is estimated to be difficult to complete.

This is not a big deal, the War Department's sunset plan is even more powerful, they plan to let the Japanese officers and soldiers who infiltrate Southeast Asia use the rebel army to overthrow the British rule, establish an independent state, and then turn these countries into Japanese colonies.

This new version of the colonial plan is not only in the South Seas, but also in Burma, Laos, Vietnam, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and other regions.

To complete this cross-era plan, it is impossible to complete the mission without equipping the Japanese soldiers with Gundam, and by the way, a mind control device must be attached, otherwise it will not be able to control the rebel army.

This plan has not only been worked out, but is also being implemented, and many Japanese officers and soldiers in Southeast Asia are loyal supporters of this plan.

Whether it succeeds or not, at least the trouble of the British has begun, and Japan's influence in Southeast Asia is not small, especially after the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese government regarded itself as the liberator of Asia, although it also saw who they liberated!

If Mr. Churchill carefully counts the total, he will find that there are more than 1,000 retired Japanese officers and soldiers in the entire Nanyang region, and if the retired officers and soldiers among the Japanese expatriates are added together, this number may exceed 10,000.

Of course, this is scattered, mixed with the indigenous people of Southeast Asia with a population of more than 100 million, and there is really no wave at all, but the consequences of completion are terrifying.

On November 2, 1926, after the fall of Sumatra, all Dutch territories in Borneo were also lost, and the Dutch counterinsurgency plan failed.

Originally, the Dutch were pressing the rebels, but under normal circumstances, as long as they won this battle, it would take a few more months to clear the rebels in Borneo.

Unfortunately, this time the Dutch chased too fiercely, so they pulled the battle line a little too deep, and at the last moment, the rebels from the British colony next door suddenly flowed over, stabbed the Dutch from the flank, and the Dutch army was defeated.

Seven infantry divisions of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, totaling 110,000 counterinsurgency troops, were finally successfully withdrawn to the island of Java with less than 30,000 men left.

This battle directly woke up the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and made them understand that the British Empire was still the British Empire that was a cheating teammate, and it dared to send troops to quell the rebellion with Mr. Churchill, isn't this looking for death?

With the loss of 80,000 troops in World War I, combined with the losses of the troops that put down the rebellion, the Kingdom of the Netherlands has already built 15 troops for the Indonesian colony, which is already a scarlet for a country with a population of less than 6 million.

Therefore, in addition to holding on to the island of Java, where the rebels had been eliminated, the Kingdom of the Netherlands decided to temporarily abandon areas such as Borneo and Sumatra, while also protesting to the government in London.

Taking the opportunity to hack the Dutch part of Borneo was not in Mr. Churchill's plan at all, and the British Empire was rich and did not care about that bit of territory at all.

But it had already happened, the Dutch were also creating a public opinion offensive in Europe, and the pressure on the London government was so great that it was forced to promise that it would not invade Borneo after the Dutch had put down the rebellion.

However, the cabinet is even more dissatisfied with Mr. Churchill, who caused trouble, if it is a pit opponent, it is just a pit, but the Kingdom of the Netherlands is the younger brother of the British Empire in Europe?

You are even a pit for your own little brother, and you still use such inferior means, does anyone dare to follow you?

It can be said that under the influence of this, the international reputation of the British Empire has lost a section, and all countries can't help but guard against them when they cooperate with them.

Of course, Mr. Churchill was wronged, and as a political strongman, he could not have made such a mistake, and the Kingdom of the Netherlands was raising the flag for the British Empire in the international arena, and this role was not comparable to that of most Borneo.

However, as a military novice, it is very normal for this kind of mistake to occur, and his army deployment has not been considered at all, and the rebels in the Malaysian region will unite with the Indonesian rebels.

He also forgot that they lived on the same island and were connected to each other, and the Japanese threaded the needle through it, which led to this military cooperation.

After several rebel armies joined forces to overthrow the Dutch, they immediately returned to Malaysia, and the British army, which had not yet reacted, was directly defeated.

The Supreme Commander, Mr. Winston Churchill, was too busy dealing with the political consequences of the Dutch losing the Indonesian part of Borneo, so he accidentally neglected the Malaysian region on the other side of Borneo.

Without his orders, the men below could not have moved the army, so the forces of the Malaysian part of Borneo were still one Australian division, one New Zealand division, and four Indian divisions.

When the rebels came, they found out that it was too late, this was the South Seas, not the British mainland, and it was not easy for Mr. Churchill to increase his troops in a short period of time.

If it was a few regiments, he could send them in a day or two, but unfortunately the reinforcements needed now are tens of thousands, and it will take time to deploy personnel and materials.

However, Mr. Churchill sent reinforcements anyway, probably under the impression that with the fire of the rebels, it was a very easy problem to hold on to the reinforcements.

It's a pity that the rebels who have defeated the Dutch have now been reborn, and both weapons and equipment and the combat effectiveness of soldiers have undergone qualitative changes.

Coupled with the morale boost of the Japanese instructors, before Mr. Churchill could react, several Indian divisions were routed one after another, leaving the New Zealand and Australian divisions to resist.

That is, Mr. Churchill was able to accept this result, and any normal army commander would know that this was a very low-level military mistake.

Even if you stick to it, you have to concentrate your forces to hold it, you ordered to stay in place and wait for reinforcements, do you know the distribution of troops on the front line?

Therefore, as cannon fodder in cannon fodder, the Indian division has always been fully in the front and pleasure in the back, so it naturally became the earliest victim.

The New Zealand and Australian divisions in the rear, taking advantage of the little time they had gained, built a simple defensive offensive and resisted the rebel attack.

That's it, the nervous Mr. Churchill did not change the previous reinforcement plan, in his opinion, the rebels are a rabble, as long as they do not go deep into the jungle, in the field British soldiers can be one enemy three.

The rebels on the island also seemed to cooperate with his actions, and directly put the reinforcements up without taking any action.

After failing to break through the British lines in the first round, they retreated and waited for the British to counterattack.

There is no doubt that these seemingly chaotic deployments are in line with the actual situation of the rebel army.

The coastal areas were all within the scope of the activities of British warships, and the rebels had no air force and no shore artillery, so what could they do other than to be bombed?

Isn't it good to wait for the enemy to come to the door? Why go to death?

It doesn't matter if you can't win, you can drill the ravine, as long as the British dare to chase in, you don't have to think about getting out.

The Battle of Borneo brought out the prestige of the rebel army, inspired the rebel army suppressed by the British everywhere, and proved that the white army could also be defeated by them.

At the same time, it also stimulated the ambition of the Japanese, who suddenly discovered that the original European countries were so weak, that the Dutch army could not defeat a group of rabble indigenous armies, and that the combat effectiveness of the British army was so rubbish!

In this case, they were unable to defend this vast colony, and it should be inherited by the mighty Empire of Japan.

The reports of these officers were transmitted to Tokyo, and the careerists, who had already been unable to hold back the press, were now even more unable to control them.

There is gold, there is copper, there is rubber, there is oil...... The resources needed by the Great Ri* Empire can be found almost here, and the masters here have indeed fallen to the Europeans who can't even win against the natives!

The seizure of the South Seas for the Japanese Empire has become a new dream for the young people of the second year of secondary school in Japan!

Against this background, all kinds of small-scale uprisings in Southeast Asia continued to break out, and the British army, which was preparing to launch a major counteroffensive, had to consolidate the rear first, so as not to give the rebels a chance.

This colonial uprising in Southeast Asia has gradually changed from a simple national independence movement to a political game between Britain and Japan.

Ferdinand's goal was achieved, and it was impossible for the British Empire to withdraw from Southeast Asia in the short term, unless the Royal Navy took direct action to defeat the Japanese Navy and defeat the Japanese military's ambitions in the South Seas.

The British may be able to tolerate independent statehood in Southeast Asia, and these small countries cannot threaten the world hegemony of the British Empire; But they absolutely could not tolerate the Japanese snatching their colonies, this is the bottom line of the British Empire!
