When the time came to the middle of August, a strong anti-ocean storm was set off on the land of China, a large number of foreigners were forced to leave the Han Kingdom, and even more miserable was the foreigners living in Siqi Province, they had cash in their hands, but they could not buy food, many people were starved to death, if they wanted to leave Siqi Province, they could only walk out slowly with their feet, I am afraid that they did not go far, and they would starve to death on the road.

The headquarters of the Four-Nation Alliance in Hong Kong soon learned of the changes in the Han Kingdom, and the British and French were shocked and angry, because in the land of China, the British and the French were the most numerous, and most of the people who were driven out of the country were also British and French, and most of the people who were starved to death in the province were also British and French.

Before, the British wanted to exterminate the Han Kingdom, but the British combined, if they were to complete it by their own country, they would pay a great price to exterminate the Han Kingdom, which was not cost-effective, so the British planned to pull the French, Russians, and themselves to attack the Han Kingdom.

The four countries discussed that they would each send a large army to launch against the Han Kingdom in August, but the British would not attack the Han Kingdom first, and let the other three countries fight with the Han Kingdom first, and then the British would go on again, so Russia and Yueben in the north launched attacks on the Han Kingdom respectively, and the British did not act rashly.

The French, who were in the south with the British, saw that the British did not move, and they themselves did not move, and the British and the French sat back and watched the great war that took place in the north.

What Britain and France did not expect was that the first to start a war against the Han Kingdom actually lost more than 6,000 troops on the first day, although he still wanted to attack the Han Kingdom, but the lack of ships made it impossible to launch a new offensive in a short time; The Russians were the second to wage war against the Han Kingdom, but as soon as the 61,000-strong Russian Western Route Army came into contact with the Blue Dragon Army of the Han Kingdom, the Russian Western Route Army was defeated and fled, losing more than two-thirds.

Due to the poor communication technology in this era, the British and French in the south did not wait for any news related to the war in the north, of course, there was also a reason that they deliberately blocked the news, and the northwest battlefield was deep inland, and the speed of information transmission was even slower.

In the end, the British and the French waited for the news that the Han Kingdom had closed all Western churches in the territory and expelled the missionaries, and a large number of missionaries were arrested and tried by the Han Kingdom, and many of them had been executed.

At this time, the British and the French finally couldn't sit still, and the two countries discussed and decided to send troops to quickly defeat the Han Kingdom and save those missionaries who were in prison.

On 13 August, Major General Carter led more than 10,000 British troops and 30,000 Indian servant troops to brazenly march into Burma under the pretext of the wooden merchant case that had been arguing for three years.

At the same time, more than 10,000 British troops and 20,000 Indian servant troops assembled in Zhemengxiong (Sikkim), led by the British Major General Dennis, in front of Zhemengxiong is Longtu Mountain, which belongs to Xizai, and more than 1,500 people from a regiment of the Han Janissary Guard (division) are stationed here, and more Han troops will come here in the future.

The British Army in Hong Kong grew to more than 4,600 troops, under the personal command of Lieutenant General Frederick Roberts, commander-in-chief of the Four-Nation Alliance, who was originally the commander-in-chief of the British Indian Army.

On the other side, more than half of the more than 20,000 troops of the French Indochina Federation have been assembled in the border area of Vietnam, and the rest are also on the way, and the 20,000 French troops are personally commanded by the commander-in-chief of the French Indochina Federation garrison, Lieutenant General Kirsi, waiting for the British army led by Brigadier General Claude to arrive at the Sino-Burmese border, and the British and French armies will simultaneously launch an attack on the Yunnan Province of the Han Kingdom.

For the time being, Britain and France only dispatched land forces, and did not have the idea of using the navy, and the combined British and French fleets were still stationed at the Hong Kong docks.

Such a large-scale military mobilization between Britain and France naturally could not escape the eyes of other countries, and in the face of the menacing Anglo-French coalition army, the Han army was also actively preparing for war.

Nishizo

The 2nd Brigade of the Praetorian Guard (Division), a brigade of the 11th Division of the Han Army's troops entering Tibet, gathered on the border under the leadership of Qi Lin, the commander of the 11th Division, and thousands of Tibetan troops mainly equipped with cold weapons were assisted behind.

Because of the steep terrain in Xizang, the Han army gave up most of its heavy weapons when entering Tibet, and the cannons above 100 mm were not carried at all, the 75 mm field guns only carried a quarter of the number, the heavy rain machine guns and 60 mm mortars also carried only half of the number, and the ammunition was not too much.

However, not long after the Han army entered Tibet and attacked Kraza, the Han army's transport airship had already transported all the heavy weapons left by the Han army's troops into Tibet in Batang County, Siqi Province to Xizang, and brought a large amount of supplies to the Han army's troops entering Tibet, so that the firepower of the Han army's troops entering Tibet returned to normal levels.

Yunan

Sun Ran, the commander of the Xuanwu Legion, personally led the Fourth Division plus a 150-mm howitzer regiment, totaling more than 16,000 people, stationed on the southern border of Yunnan.

Sun Ran's pressure was not small, and on the opposite side were 20,000 French troops, 10,000 British troops, and 30,000 Indian servant troops, totaling more than 60,000 people, nearly four times the Han army.

However, the advantage of the Han army is not small, with advanced weapons and equipment, the firepower of the Han army far exceeds that of the British and French forces, not to mention that the Han army is the defender, and the attacking British and French armies still use the tactics of platoon guns, and the use of such tactics to attack the positions of the Han army will only be slaughtered by the fierce firepower of the Han army.

Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, Xin'an County (Pengcheng)

Fang Jinglong, commander of the Ninth Division, personally led the troops directly under the Ninth Division, plus a regiment, totaling more than 3,000 people, stationed in Xin'an County.

With the strength of 3,000 Han troops, it is enough to defeat the 4,600 British troops led by Vice Admiral Roberts personally, but Fang Jinglong is not here, what Fang Jinglong wants to do more is to recover Hong Kong, but the Anglo-French combined fleet stationed at the dock in Hong Kong is a big trouble, as long as the British and French combined fleet leaves Hong Kong, Fang Jinglong dares to directly enter Hong Kong.

As for Macao, which was occupied by Portugal, I am afraid that the Han army could recover it with a single battalion, and the Portuguese garrison in Macao was only a few hundred people.

The Anglo-French combined fleet stationed at the Hong Kong dock has always been a big trouble, once the British and French combined fleet is dispatched to shell the coastal cities of the Han Kingdom, it will definitely cause a large number of casualties among the common people, which Yan Xueyi does not want to see, Yan Xueyi has already ordered to transfer the Beiyang Fleet and the Nanyang Fleet to the south, intending to fight against the British and French combined fleet.

Time passed day by day, and the great war was coming. (To be continued.) )
