Chapter 733: I will have the final say in Asia from now on
Opening up the battlefield in Kyushu, Klinder knew in his heart that the Liaodong Army was the main force, and the troops of Germany and Tsarist Russia were just a kind of cooperation. To put it bluntly www.biquge.info, whether Germany and Tsarist Russia agreed or not, this did not have any impact on Liu Jun.
"Let's send it, since Liu Jun is doing this, it is enough to give us face." With that, Clint turned to the side and opened the liquor that had been placed on it.
Arthur Command. Zheng Yiqian finally completely understood why Liu Jun wanted to open up the second battlefield, because just a few minutes ago, Liu Jun had already handed Zheng Yiqian the telegram sent by Zhong Lin some time ago.
The telegram was transferred from Germany to Moscow, and from Moscow to Lushun, and it was said that the situation on the part of Africa was now unstable, and that the British could gain the upper hand at any moment.
Although Liu Jun has cultivated his own power in Africa intentionally or unintentionally over the years, he still lacks too much compared with the entrenched Britain.
It is also normal for such a situation to occur, and Liu Jun does not blame the personnel on the African side for not working hard.
At the end of the British crossbow, it was no longer good, but the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen. Even if he died, he would have to jump a few times, not to mention that Britain was not completely out of breath now.
"Britain, a country that has always had bad intentions towards us since the Opium War began, therefore, Japan is not our main enemy, our main enemy, or Britain, you have always asked me, since Japan has lost, why do I still vigorously develop the navy and expand the army, to tell you the truth, Lao Tzu's next target is India." Glancing at the two of them, Liu Jun said with a grin.
Some time ago, at an army meeting convened by Liu Jun, Liu Jun directly proposed that the strength of the five corps should be expanded by 200,000 troops. this resolution. At that time, including Wang Shizhen and Ding Ruchang, people were very incomprehensible, after all, the troops in Liaodong have reached 600,000 now, and if they are expanding, it will be 800,000. It is nearly three times the number of people in the imperial court.
However, no matter how everyone objected, Liu Jun still tried his best to decide the matter, and immediately ordered the main areas where the soldiers were called, that is, Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, and Henan.
finally understood why Guangxi and Guangdong already had the strength of one corps, and Liu Jun still had to gather 80,000 troops from two corps in these two places.
It turned out to be for India.
Since India was occupied by the British, there are not many troops in India, but there are quite a few local troops in India, which are more than ten times that of the British army. In other words, the British mainland has less than 30,000 troops here, while the Indians have nearly 300,000 people.
India is also too sad, a dignified Mughal kingdom was actually subdued by tens of thousands of British, and the army sometimes wonders if this is the sadness of Indians.
"Head, we're going to do something to India, when?" When Zhong Lin heard this, he stood up and asked after snuffing out the cigarette in his hand.
It is also normal for Zhong Lin to ask like this, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and now for Lushun, once there is a need for war. Zhong Lin's intelligence bureau must have taken the lead. After all, the intelligence and troop deployment in various places all need to be collected by Zhong Lin's intelligence department.
"Within five years. I would definitely divide India into three parts. Liu Jun didn't have any doubts, walked directly to the map and drew a big circle on the map.
India is a country that cannot be reunified, and letting it be unified is a factor of stability in South Asia. As far as Liu Jun is concerned, he doesn't care about threatening the security of South Asia, but India will threaten itself and Tibet's security, which he does not want to see.
Since the establishment of Liaodong, Liu Jun has vowed not to be the hegemon of the world, but also to be the hegemon of Asia.
Asia is its own opponent, that is, a Japan, and Tsarist Russia, originally Liu Jun's goal was to first Japan and then Tsarist Russia, but now, Tsarist Russia has been invisibly squeezed out of Asia, and Tsarist Russia will not exist, so the enemy is a Japan.
It is inevitable that Japan will be divided, so Liu Jun has set his sights far ahead in order to prevent accidents.
It was only a matter of time before Britain would fail, and it would be a matter of time before India became independent, and if India was not allowed to form a unified state, then it was necessary to divide them directly. At the very least, it should be divided into two countries and an independent buffer zone.
To put it simply, three points India or more. That is, to divide South Asia and India into two parts, north and south. And occupy the edge of Tibet by himself. Control of imports and exports. At that time, even if India wants to challenge China in a few hundred years, it will be impossible. Absolutely as soon as you make a move, you have to slap yourself on the ground and can't move.
"Don't panic for the time being, India will not pose a threat to us now, after all, we have not solved it yet." Liu Jun lowered his head and thought about it a few times. After opening a map again, Zhong Lin came over and said: "Your department in South Asia, from the current focus of work, must start to install people in a department, especially in the army, and must provoke conflicts between Britain and the local area within three or five years, so that we can have a chance to start." ”
"Got it." After Zhong Lin finished speaking, he looked at the order he had just written in his hand again, tore it off and burned it with a lighter. It's a secret after all.
"Do you want to inform Ding Ruchang to come back?" Waiting for Zhong Lin to go out, Zheng Yiqian raised her head and asked Liu Jun beside her.
If you want to make a move against Kyushu, Ding Ruchang must come back, otherwise who will command it when the time comes.
"Send a telegram to Ding Ruchang and ask him to return to Lushun immediately, and in addition, inform Lin Taizeng in Vladivostok and let him come back too."
The Second Fleet in Vladivostok is not strong in combat compared to the First Fleet, but although this fleet is not strong on the surface, it still has a few battleships. With such combat effectiveness, it is estimated that the Japanese battleships will not be able to gain the upper hand. But if it is used to assist the army in attacking the Japanese mainland, it is a big brother-level figure, and there will be nothing on the coast of Japan that can stop the attack of this fleet.
Thus, the Second Fleet assisted Ding Ruchang in attacking Kyushu, while the First Fleet. That is, to wait for time, to pack up the Japanese fleet returning from the American side, and once these things are done, the mission of the Navy will be over in the next few years. Subsequently, the navy will build a large fleet of 11 Emperor-class battleships and 25 heavy cruisers under the full operation of the two major shipyards, ready to compete with the British.
