After receiving Zhang Wei's instructions, Qian Xiangyang communicated with the General Staff Headquarters, which provided him with warships and merchant ships, loaded them with weapons and ammunition, and at the same time issued orders to all armies. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Qian Xiangyang planned to lead the fleet to Colombo Military Port first, get in touch with the four armies transferred to the jurisdiction of the West Asia Theater in advance, and let the commanders and chiefs of staff of each army arrive at Colombo first to meet.

The four armies transferred to West Asia were the 18th Army, the 35th Army, the 40th Army and the 9th Army, and the first three armies were all strong armies; The 18th Army was stationed first in Taiwan and then in Luzon; The 35th Army was first stationed in Taiwan, then Hainan Island, and then Luzon; These three armies have a lot of experience fighting with the natives.

In this way, there were only 3 corps left in the South Asian theater of operations, the 27th Army and the 28th Army; The 20th Army was originally stationed in Xinzhou Province, the 27th Army was originally stationed in the Peninsula Special Region, and the 28th Army was originally stationed in the Lelang Special Region.

Qian Xiangyang planned that the 40th Army would be stationed in Kuwait first, the 18th Army in the port of Aden, the 35th Army in Bandar Abbas, and the 9th Army in Dammam.

Due to the limitation of transportation strength, everyone unanimously decided after discussion that each corps would first send one Janissary Division as the previous unit, receive the corresponding port, and establish a foothold.

Relatively speaking, it is relatively safe to be stationed in Dammam, and the responsibility is much smaller, so it can be regarded as letting this army carry out adaptive training first; The 40th Army was stationed in Kuwait with naval assistance and the strength of 3 cavalry divisions, which was very safe.

As for the three cavalry divisions transferred from Vietnam, the country arranged for the fleet to be sent to Kuwait.

The 31st and 34th armies transferred from the peninsula were stationed in the North African Theater and the East African Theater in Somalia respectively, and the Northern Theater would send fleets to transport them directly to the designated locations.

After arranging the work of the various armies, Qian Xiangyang led the 2nd Praetorian Guard Division to take the lead, and he had to arrive in Kuwait ahead of schedule to handle the handover procedures with the British Governor-General; As Qian Xiangyang's assistant, Zhang Liang temporarily lived in Colombo to assist in the relocation of troops and organize logistics and baggage work.

In other regions, such as Australia, Singapore, and Burma, the British government did not have time to wreak havoc, and in West Asia and Somalia, they had plenty of time to do so.

From the signing of the treaty to the Xia Empire's sending troops to receive it, the fastest time is close to 1 month, and they can do a lot of things during this time.

First of all, they convened a meeting of the local indigenous chiefs and announced that the British Empire had evacuated the land, which was supposed to make them independent, but the Xia Empire was forced and the British Empire was forced to transfer this place to the Xia Empire; For the indigenous chieftains in the outlying areas, it was said that the Xia Empire was about to invade here, and the British Empire was forced to evacuate and could no longer protect them; provoked contradictions between the Xia Empire and the natives, and described the Xia Empire as an aggressor; Especially for countries such as Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iran, the Xia Empire is indeed an aggressor, they are more afraid of the Xia Empire, at least the British are just doing business, just exploiting them, and rarely destroying other countries, the Xia Empire has destroyed many countries.

Secondly, before the evacuation, the British issued a large number of rifles and other weapons to various places, these old-fashioned rifles, shipped back to China are worthless, and no one wants to sell them, which have been stored in Mumbai and other places before, and are all guns of the indigenous people in various places that were seized in the past, and now they are quickly transported to various places and distributed to the natives. It was to send a few mountain guns and shells. According to the British idea, it was to let these natives slow down the advance of the Xia Empire's army and let them fall into the quagmire of West Asia.

In addition to guns and ammunition, they also gave a large amount of poison to the natives in various places, and the weapons that were captured before, such as broadswords, spears, bows and arrows, should be thrown away anyway. The British Empire also successively provided food and other materials that could not be transported in the warehouse to the chiefs in various places.

With the encouragement and support of the British, the chiefs quickly assembled their armies and began training.

These chiefs did not take the British reminder to heart, in their impression, since ancient times, the Arabian Peninsula has been invaded many times, but the Arabs have never been conquered by foreign people, this is what they are proud of, any foreign forces only stay in the coastal areas, sooner or later they will withdraw, if they dare to attack their hinterland, they will use the desert as a barrier, to deal a heavy blow to the invaders, I believe that the Xia Empire will not be an exception.

However, the aid from the British, not in vain, obtained free weapons, ammunition, food, etc., even if it was not used to resist the invasion of the Xia Empire, it could also strengthen the strength of their own tribe, so that they could conquer the surrounding small tribes and chieftains, and expand the scope of their tribe's rule.

However, they didn't know that the previous invaders were not unable to conquer them, but they were unwilling to want those worthless desert areas, while the Xia Empire was determined to obtain this area, and valued the precious oil resources under the desert; Moreover, in order to avoid future troubles, the Xia Empire did not want to conquer them, but completely drove them away or exterminated, allowing Chinese immigrants to completely occupy there, but the Xia Empire was completely different from the previous invaders.

The only exception was the Kingdom of Iran, which, having taken over the southern regions from the British, sent a large number of troops and strengthened its control over there, preparing to take advantage of the favorable terrain to resist the invasion of the Xia Empire; The closed kingdom of Iran did not know the strength of the Xia Empire at all, and they would have to pay a heavy price for it.

At present, the only calm is the area under the jurisdiction of the Ottoman Empire, they are waiting for the Xia Empire to send someone to hand over, and sent an arms procurement team to the Xia Empire, for them, this deal is very cost-effective, those barren land can be sold for a sky-high price, it is the credit of the current government.

The news was reported to Zhang Wei, who did not express an opinion on this, believing that the Xia Empire's army could easily defeat these indigenous armies, and just took the opportunity to reduce them to slavery or expel them.

Qian Xiangyang was very cautious about this, and strictly ordered all armies to quickly take over the port where they were located, build advance bases, and prohibit them from going to war before the army arrived.

Dammam, Abbas, Aden and Somalia are equipped with 3 destroyers and 6 fast torpedo boats, which are believed to be able to protect the army's sea supply lines. Kuwait, where the Metropolitan Government is located, is equipped with 1 Lanfang-class battle cruiser, 4 destroyers, and 8 fast torpedo boats, and the battle cruisers will be relocated to Kuwait Harbor after the completion of the Manama military port in the Persian Gulf.

Qian Xiangyang's strategy was very simple, that is, to first take over the port city, then build an air base and other infrastructure, and wait for the arrival of the Wehrmacht and cavalry divisions, and then start to clear the surrounding tribes, and only after it is completely stabilized and has a good understanding of the surrounding intelligence, then start to conquer the West Asian Peninsula, drive them from the coastal areas to the inland desert and the western Mediterranean coast, and wait for Zhang Wei to send Chinese immigrants, completely replace the local population, and completely occupy the local area.

It is believed that with those earthen guns and old cannons, they are no match for the Xia Empire's army equipped with aircraft cannons, no matter where they hide, they will be discovered by high-altitude patrol planes and gradually wiped out, and it is their best choice to escape far away.
