Fiji's Indian army did not have uniform uniforms and insignia, and they wore the same as local indigenous civilians, and many defeated Indian soldiers hid in civilian houses and pretended to be civilians to shoot at the Tang army, causing casualties among Tang officers and soldiers.

This immediately angered the Tang officers and soldiers, who could not distinguish between the enemy's troops and civilians, so they pursued a policy of ethnic cleansing, killing all Indians, soldiers and civilians.

In order to cover up the truth of the incident, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Empire either claimed that the entire village was an enemy army, or that it was Latour's people who did it, and then accused those people of being the murderers of the Chinese.

The Tang army shifted the responsibility for the massacre of the Indians to the leader of the Fi, Grand Chief Latu, who not only did not refute this, but liked the Tang army's approach very much.

In the eyes of the Grand Chief of Latu, the Tang Army undoubtedly did him a great favor. Because Fiji has been the confrontation between the two largest races, the Tongan Fijian and the Indian, since ancient times, the British colonized Fiji, apparently more protective of the Indians and used the Indians against the Fiji.

Latour was happy to see the massacre of the Indians by the Tang army, so he took all the responsibility, thinking that he would be the great hero of the Fijian people, but unexpectedly his own ignorance and blind arrogance eventually led the British authorities to vent all their anger on him.

The Tang army launched a powerful military operation in Fiji, due to the huge difference in strength between the two sides, the Tang army, with the help of the powerful navy and air force Liliang, wiped out the Indian army of Maddie in just one week, and the bombers of the Tang army destroyed the Indian tribe and other Fijian tribes who rebelled against Latu, causing hundreds of thousands of Indian casualties and homelessness.

Latu and his army followed behind the Don army to occupy rival tribes, and they openly slaughtered the Indians, creating one unmanned tribe after another.

Latour's actions immediately covered up some of the Tang army's crimes against civilians, and British public opinion immediately pointed the finger at Latour and his Fijian army, accusing them of being the executioners of the massacre of civilians, while the Tang army became accomplices.

The British authorities were very dissatisfied with the Tang Army's intervention in the Fiji War, and the British Government sent a note to the Tang Commissioner to Britain for three consecutive days to express strong protest and solemn representations. British Foreign Secretary Henry Stella, the third Viscount Palmerston, hurriedly flew to Datang to meet with Datang Foreign Secretary Zhang Wei and express his solemn position.

Zhang Wei deliberately delayed for three days according to Zhang Meng's instructions.

Taking advantage of these three days, the Tang army wiped out all the tribal chieftains and their armies who opposed Latu in one fell swoop, and then retreated into the Lautoka concession.

The original temporary residence for refugees provided by Latu to Datang had become Datang's concession in Fiji at this time, and the law, security, administration, taxation and garrison in the concession area were all owned by the Tang Empire for a period of 99 years, and the Fijian government only retained nominal ownership of the Lautoka concession.

The Lautoka Concession is five times the size of the original, directly connected to the Nadi Air Base, and at the same time, the third largest port in Fiji, Lautoka Port, is completely under the jurisdiction of the Tang Concession, and the Tang Army is Jihua to build a naval base in the Lautoka Port, with the Nadi Air Base, to build a strong fortress military base of the Tang Army in Fiji.

Latu's decision to make such a big concession was mainly thanks to the Tang army for helping him pacify other chieftains in Fiji who opposed him, especially after the Indian army of Maddie was wiped out and a large number of hundreds of thousands of Indians were slaughtered, the proportion of Fiji's population changed dramatically. Before there were about 450,000 Fijian and about 400,000 Indians, just half a month later, the Fijian dropped to 400,000, and the Indians were bloodied to less than 10,000.

More than 30,000 British and other ethnic groups in Fiji were frightened by the massacre of Fiji and fled Fiji to Australia and New Zealand.

As a result, there are only about 400,000 Fijians left in Fiji and 3 million Tang people in the Lautoka concession who have just acquired the citizenship of the Tang Empire.

The Don Army assisted Latour in taking control of all of Fiji before the British counterattacked Fiji.

Later, Zhang Meng held a meeting with Viscount Henry, and Henry was already so angry that he immediately attacked Zhang Meng.

"Your Royal Highness Zhang Meng, your Tang Dynasty is preparing to break away from the Commonwealth and start a war with the British Empire, right?"

"Lord Henry's words are serious! The development of the Tang Empire is inseparable from the help and support of the United Kingdom, we are a member of the British Commonwealth, how can a war break out with the British Empire? You're really good at laughing. ”

Seeing that Henry was so angry that his teeth were about to be crushed, Zhang Meng was not red or panting, and he still smiled calmly.

"Fiji is a colony of our British Empire, and Latour rebelled against the British army, but you are helping him, aren't you?"

Zhang Meng said lightly: "I, Datang, will never do anything that harms the interests of Britain, even if Britain watches the Japanese bully us Datang, we don't have any complaints." Lord Henry must know that Maddie's Indian army attacked our Datang temporary refugee settlement area in Fiji, and caused many Tang casualties, our Datang will never tolerate our subjects being harmed, blood debt and blood repayment are our Tang people's rule, so it is justified for us to send troops to Fiji, and we still get Latu's request, we also hope that Fiji will end the civil war as soon as possible and prevent the Fijian people from killing each other. ”

Henry was so angry that his beard was cocked, if he had a beard.

"Even if you are a good teacher, what have you done? You're killing the entire Indian people, and that's to prevent the Fijian people from killing each other? ”

"Is this ......?"

Zhang Meng paused and explained: "It is inevitable that there will be casualties in the war, and besides, this is a grievance between the Fijian and the Indians, and we can't interfere with it." ”

Henry rolled his eyes suddenly, he really didn't see that Zhang Meng was so young that he was more cheeky than him, an old politician, no wonder he was able to beat the British hard without a sound.

"Let's not talk about this! If His Royal Highness Zhang Meng still takes into account Tang Ying's direct friendly relationship, it is best to order the withdrawal of troops from Fiji immediately. Otherwise, when our British army counterattacks Fiji, the Don army will become the enemy of the British army if it has not yet withdrawn. ”

Zhang Meng snorted coldly in his heart. He simply looked down on the British army. If we say that before World War I, the combat effectiveness of the British army was still very strong. However, since the First World War, the brutal war has made the British army not want to fight anymore, and they will not dare to fight. Just as the German army easily defeated the French army and occupied France, the British army was chased and beaten by the Japanese army in Asia like rabbits and had no power to fight back, not because of how powerful the Japanese army and the German army were, but because the British army and the French army were afraid of war from the bottom of their hearts.

Regardless of the loss of combat effectiveness of the British army due to Weishenme, the Tang Dynasty at this time has successfully survived the most dangerous period of three years. Now that the Tang Empire has a powerful air force and the most powerful naval aircraft carrier battle group in the whole Shijie, it is theoretically not afraid of the great powers, including Britain, the United States and Japan.

But Zhang Meng can't offend Britain for the time being, because he understands that the current reserve liliang of the Tang Empire is not enough, that is, the overall national strength. The current strength of the Tang Army can temporarily dominate, but if it really rises to the level of a full-scale national war, that is, if it fights for the national strength of population, economic base, reserve liliang and other aspects, the Tang Empire will obviously not be able to fight Britain, or even Japan.

Thinking of this, Zhang Meng suddenly smiled and said, "Since Lord Henry has asked our Tang Army to withdraw from the army, then I have absolutely no opinion. I will order the withdrawal of troops immediately. But ask Lord Henry for permission for the Don Army to temporarily garrison troops in the Lautoka Concession for protection, you know, there are three million of us refugees there, and if there is a riot, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Henry did not have first-hand information in Fiji, and he did not know that Zhang Meng had taken advantage of the delay in the past few days to complete all the operational objectives of the Tang Army. He was also relieved to see that Zhang Meng agreed to withdraw the army, because he also knew the strength of the Tang army, and if he really made a fuss, the British army would definitely suffer a big loss.

Since Zhang Meng had already given him face, Henry didn't want to embarrass Zhang Meng, he knew about those refugees from Northeast China in Lautoka District, Zhang Meng's request was reasonable, and he had no reason to object.

After Henry left, Zhang Wei came over to inquire about the results, and Zhang Meng told her truthfully.

"Henry's failure to mention the Nadi airport again proves that the British authorities have conceded to us. So what are you going to do? ”

"The British take a step back, we go further! I'm going to continue to support Latour, and I'm going to have to make the British break a front tooth. ”

Zhang Wei suddenly said worriedly: "The problem of the Japanese has not been solved, you still dare to offend the British, I think you are walking a tightrope on the cliff!" ”

"Wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and most national interests can only be obtained by taking chestnuts from the fire. I'm just going to walk a tightrope on a cliff, it's more exciting, it's more challenging. ”

Zhang Meng smiled slightly, revealing a semi-white tooth.
