Chapter 47: Heading South to the Mughals

Since the Soviet Union took the initiative to go to war, the unprepared Ming Dynasty has been in a state of overstretched strength -- not only was the front line not ready for battle, but many combat-effective troops were also placed in the Nanyang to suppress the local Tuwang and Hao clans who had always been at odds with the central Ming Dynasty, and even some were placed on the east side of the Spice Islands to guard against Zhou Rao, who was of the same species as the Ming Dynasty and was a descendant of the Chinese -- as mentioned earlier, the Republic of Zhourao, which occupied Oceania, was once a colony of the Ming Dynasty.

But now, the situation has suddenly reversed, and the Soviets, who are absolutely superior in strength, have instead fallen into a situation where they have no available troops in their hands - most of the troops are placed in the frontal attack on the Ming Dynasty, and some are maintaining control and ammunition pressure in the occupied areas. In the past, the extreme emptiness of the Soviet rear defense was actually a reflection of the fact that the Soviet troops were not infinitely numerous, and now, the strategy of dividing the blue sky and the blue sky into two ways has completely exposed the hidden worry of the Soviet army's lack of stamina -- if the frontal confrontation only needs the same strength as the enemy, then encircling, pursuing, and encircling the enemy requires several times the enemy's strength, and at the same time, it also puts forward higher requirements for the mobility and cooperation of the troops.

The current strategic situation is that the Soviet army has turned the Ming army in the northern part of the Western Regions into a turtle in an urn by occupying the southern and western regions and cutting off the Lanyi line, and the logistics in the direction of Tangnu and Wulianghai have also produced huge problems, but the core area of the Ming army has not yet been affected, the mobilization work is being carried out in an orderly manner, and the Ming army deployed in the South Seas is also transporting to the Central Plains step by step. The Ming Dynasty still had a fairly high overall national strength advantage over the Soviet Union, and the Ming Dynasty's chances of victory were even greater. Moreover, in terms of diplomatic situation, the Holy Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire and other bordering monarchies also had extreme hatred of the Soviet Union. So even if the situation collapses to such an extent, the vast majority of Chinese people still have an optimistic attitude towards this war.

Now, in order to respond to the expectations of the people, in order to retain the elite vitality of the Ming Dynasty as much as possible, Zhu Ya and I followed Lan Tianwei's command headquarters and fled rapidly in the direction of Almaty, with an average advance speed of 70 kilometers per hour, so that the Soviet army could not even react, and then joined up with our troops in the direction of Almaty.

Along the way to the south, no formed Soviet unit could stop us. The few provisional divisions that had just been formed by the Soviet Union in the local area were destroyed in an hour at the earliest, and the most tenacious ones lasted only six hours.

We entered the Mughal Empire quite smoothly.

As I thought, the Mughal Empire did not dare to stop our battle-hardened army, and the Mughal Emperor even wrote an official letter to express his condolences to us.

The expected diplomatic dilemma did not arise either—our intentions were already exposed to the world while we were still in southern Kazakhstan. At this time, the central government quickly sent a diplomatic note to the Delhi side, hoping that the Mughals would accept the breakout friendly troops and provide some food supplies, and in exchange for this, the Ming would provide the Mughals with equipment for five newly reequipped motorized rifle divisions to sponsor the rebellion of the "Dravidian tea nationalists" and the mob.

Well, but to be honest, I've always disliked this country, whether it's the world's largest cooking country in the last plane, or this country that is still ruled by outsiders. I was deterred by the dehumanizing caste system and the poor hygiene of the people, combined with the country's exotic wildlife and ubiquitous curries, as well as the unbearable heat and humidity...... Oh my God, it's a nightmare!

But now that I'm here, I've traveled extensively to the north of the country, from the still Buddhist princely states of Kashmir to the turban-clad Punjabi gangs, all the way to Delhi, the center of Mughal rule and already home to countless Green Christians.

I'm a little curious, what is this country built up of? From religion, to ethnicity, to language, each state of this vast state is completely different, the literati of one state become illiterate when they arrive in another, the south and the north are not even the same language family, from the Aryans to the Mongolians are mixed together, and the ruling elite of the whole country uses Persian as the court language—in the dish country in another time and space uses English...... It's a miracle that such a country hasn't collapsed yet!

Having said that, the history of the South Asian subcontinent being unified by one country is really very rare, and in the absence of foreign invasions, there are always dozens or hundreds of princely states distributed in this subcontinent, and only foreign invaders can unify it, which has almost become the theorem of this subcontinent.

Tsk, but as a wandering tourist, it doesn't seem good for me to mock a world power like this? After all, people have their own national conditions here, and I'm an outsider who doesn't know anything is really hard to say anything, people in this country are still very creative, after all, the Arabic alphabet was invented by others, isn't it?

Well, during the war, it's still not appropriate to complain too much about friendly countries, especially when Mughal officials accompany them to visit the Taj Mahal.

Our troops were assigned by the Mughals to Delhi, Punjab and Multan to rest, and the top leaders came to Delhi, the capital of the Mughals, to receive an audience from the Mughal emperor. It seems that the imperial court wanted to take this opportunity to carry out some more in-depth and extensive cooperation and exchanges with the Mughals, and just as the ambassador to the Mughals in Delhi, the high-ranking civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the royal relatives, all gathered together - as the so-called early is better than lucky, and the Mughals also showed great concern about the expansion of the Soviets. It is reported that Persia is also working with the Ming and Mughals to plan a defensive alliance against the Soviets, who have always wanted to penetrate West Asia and gain access to the Indian Ocean, as was the case in Tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union.

For this reason, the command of the Ili Army, including me, was assigned a bunch of envoy titles by His Majesty the Emperor to test the Mughal Empire's views on some important diplomatic issues at present and to prepare for the next formal talks.

Of course, in order to show a certain intention, Lan Tianwei deserved the position that was handed over to Xu Xing, who stayed in the hospital until he was discharged from the hospital to fight side by side with us when he broke through from Ili.
