Chapter 700: The Emperor's Wrath (2,400 votes)

On the night of June 28, 1915, the army of the island nation secretly set out from the mainland, escorted by the navy, to Southeast Asia.

On the morning of July 3, the combined fleet of the island's navy shelled Hanoi, and the 1st Division of the island's army landed in Hanoi with almost no resistance. On the same day, the army of the island nation occupied Hanoi.

On 4 July, the Combined Fleet escorted the 2nd Division of the Island Army to attack Saigon, occupying Saigon almost bloodlessly.

The French colonial officials, who had been ordered to wait here for officials from Germany, fled without saying a word. In the French colony of Indochina, there were not many regular troops in the first place, and almost all of the rest were security forces composed of local natives. Although the security forces had more than 100,000 troops, they had no fighting spirit at all, and after being attacked by the army of the island country, they fled one after another. It can be said that the entire Indochina colony, like a ripe peach, fell into the hands of the islanders.

On 5 July, the 3rd Division of the Island Army attacked the Malayan colony, and the 6th Division attacked the Lion City. The British colonial officials and troops stationed here immediately fled without the slightest resistance.

On July 7, the 4th and 5th Divisions of the Island Army attacked Burma. British colonial troops and officials stationed in Burma were evacuated to India.

In just a few days, the whole of Southeast Asia seems to have fallen into the hands of the island people. Although, at the moment, the islanders have only occupied a small part of the area. However, their attacks were unstoppable. With the British and French colonial officials and armies giving up their resistance, the colonies would soon fall into the hands of the islanders.

Even the islanders themselves did not expect that they would win so easily and occupy so much land at once. Some radical island army generals have even shouted slogans for marching on India and Australia, demanding that the two important colonies be taken out in a single battle.

However, fortunately, the heads of the governments of the island countries were not carried away by the victory. They ordered the army to occupy these colonies as soon as possible and then prepare to defend themselves against the German offensive. At the same time, more troops and combat materials of the army of the island country were also sent to Southeast Asia. They knew that once Germany launched an attack, the navy of the island nation would not be able to resist the German navy. When the time comes, their homeland will be separated from Southeast Asia. In that case, they would have to send as many troops and transport as many war supplies as possible to Southeast Asia before the fighting broke out.

The actions of the people of the island country have undoubtedly shocked the whole world. Almost all countries did not expect that the islanders would have such courage to seize the colonies in Southeast Asia at this time. In particular, the colony of Indochina, which had been transferred to Germany by the French government. Even if the handover between the two sides was not yet complete, the colony was already German. By doing so, the islanders were clearly provoking Germany.

Of course, the island nation and Germany were already in a state of war, and they should have attacked the German colonies.

The British colonies in Southeast Asia, although not part of Germany. But everyone knew that after Germany defeated Britain, those colonies should belong to Germany. When people from the island country do this, it's basically a tiger's mouth! What's more, Britain is still an ally of the island nation, although the island country has abolished the alliance between the two countries, but what they do is undoubtedly a typical representative of ingratitude! Naturally, this was spurned by the whole world.

It's just that the people of the island country have always been very thick-skinned and never care about the accusations of the outside world. All they care about is whether they can get the benefits.

Berlin, the capital of Germany, the Imperial Palace, Qin Tian's office. The military and political officials of the empire have gathered here.

The atmosphere in the office is a little dignified. Emperor Qin Tian's face was pale, as if a volcano was about to erupt. The ministers of the empire did not look very good-looking, and the generals of the military were even more indignant. Some people even have a look of eagerness to try it in their eyes.

Originally, the war was only a war against Britain. After that, there were almost no large-scale wars. This is undoubtedly very regrettable for the generals of the military. But now, the islanders have jumped out to provoke the empire, isn't that self-defeating? It also gave these generals a chance to continue the war.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the whole of Southeast Asia, I am afraid that it will soon fall into the hands of the island people. They undoubtedly gave the empire a slap in the face! Qin Tian said coldly.

Originally, everyone thought that after Germany warned the island nation, the island country would be somewhat restrained. After all, the island nation is just a weak ant compared to the powerful Germany. However, I didn't expect the islanders to be so bold and choose to take a risk and directly attack the colonies in the entire Southeast Asia.

Although those colonies already belonged to Germany in name, or were about to belong to Germany. But Germany simply did not have time to receive it. Now, those colonies have fallen into the hands of the islanders. This will not only be a great blow to Germany's reputation, but will also strengthen the strength of the islanders.

"Your Majesty, the behavior of the people of the island country is simply looking for death! Don't they know that this is angering the Empire? Once the Empire sends a large army on an expedition, it will surely be able to pacify them! The Prime Minister was also indignant at Bilo. An ant actually dares to provoke a lion, isn't that looking for death?

"Your Majesty, what the people of the island have done has dealt a great blow to the empire. We can no longer sit idly by. We must send an army to defeat the islanders and take back all those colonies! Foreign Minister Vahit also said.

"Your Majesty, the main forces of the Imperial Army are preparing for war against the British, as well as for the extermination of the guerrillas in Eastern Europe. However, the Imperial Army could also draw one or two corps for operations in the Far East. "Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff Von? Falkenhain said. In his opinion, one or two legions would be enough to defeat the island nation. Although the island army defeated the Russians more than ten years ago, the strength of the island army has not changed at all compared with more than ten years ago. The German Army, although it has always been the first in the world, has been reborn in strength.

"Your Majesty, the strength of the island country's navy is not strong, except for the four 'King Kong-class' battlecruisers, the rest of the battleships are quasi-dreadnoughts or ex-dreadnoughts. There is no need to worry at all. The Imperial Navy only needs a fleet of fragments to be sent out, and it will be enough to annihilate them! "Field Marshal Tirpitz, Lord of the Admiralty, is very confident.
