Feng Guohua, chief of the General Staff, Lu Chuanya, commander of the Navy, Kong Xiangwei, chief of staff of the Southern Theater, and Cao Jiachuan, chief of staff of the Southeast Theater, have already discussed it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The first army, from the Texas Naval Base, dispatched 1 Taiwan-class heavy cruiser, 1 Hainan Island-class light cruiser and 4 destroyers to escort 2 national defense divisions and 2 brigades of mercenaries, a total of 36,000 men, to occupy the LinkedIn colonies of Trinidad and Tobago and the British, French and Dutch Guiana colonies.

The Second Route Army, which dispatched the same warships from Charlotte Naval Base to escort 2 divisions and 2 brigades of mercenaries, occupied the Anglo-French-Dutch islands in the entire West Indies between the British Virgin Islands and Grenada.

The Third Route Army, the remaining fleet at Naval Base Charlotte, was to cooperate with the Army to occupy the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands and Bermuda; Moreover, the occupation of Bermuda was a top priority, and it could serve as a front-line guard post for the defense of North America against Europe, and its geographical location was very important.

The Southern Theater of Operations sent 2 divisions of the Wehrmacht and 1 brigade of mercenaries; The South-Eastern Theater of Operations sent 3 divisions of the Wehrmacht and 1 brigade of mercenaries; Three brigades of mercenaries were transferred from the Northeast Theater of Operations as support units.

Since there were no hard battles to fight when the United States was occupied in the past, and the various units did not earn much military merit, the competition among the various military regions was very fierce this time.

Feng Guohua's order to the army was that no matter whether it was a white, black or mixed-race person, as long as they did not obey the order, they would shoot them directly until they were killed.

The strategic location of these islands is very important to the North American Theater Command, and how can others snore on the side of the couch? It must be completely controlled in the hands.

The occupation of the Guiana colonies of LinkedIn, France and the Netherlands is equivalent to having a foothold in the eastern part of South America, which is of great significance for the future occupation of the whole of South America; When Colombia is occupied next year, Venezuela can be eliminated by the way, and then it will be able to expand its territory from the east and west of South America.

At the same time, it has a foothold in the eastern part of South America and controls the West Indies, which can deter Brazil, and even after the United States moves to Brazil in the future, it will not be able to escape the fate of being controlled by the empire, and can only obediently obey.

On July 28, Feng Guohua received an order from the imperial protector of overseas Chinese, and knowing that this was an order to attack, he immediately ordered his troops to board the ship according to the original plan and perform their respective related tasks.

According to the battle plan, after the First Route Army launched an attack, the Second Route launched another attack, and finally the Third Route began to attack.

The First Route Army is expected to be on the road for 7 days, which is still a new cargo ship that is fully equipped, otherwise it will take longer; The Second Route Army set out two days behind.

The commander-in-chief of the First Route Army was Gao Changshui, a staff officer at the level of a major general sent by the General Staff of Lu State, who sent him to Japan last time, completed the task very well, and won Feng Guohua's favor, so this time he was sent as the commander-in-chief of the First Route Army to give him a chance to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield.

Rear Admiral Gao Changshui divided the army in two, leaving behind 1 light cruiser and 2 destroyers, as well as 1 defense division and 1 brigade of mercenaries, and ordered them to occupy Trinidad and Tobago; Gao Changshui himself led the remaining troops to occupy LinkedIn Guyana.

The colony of Trinidad and Tobago is located in the southern Caribbean Sea of Central America, off the coast of Venezuela; The colony consisted of two major islands, Trinidad and Tobago, plus 21 smaller islands, and the majority of the country's population was concentrated on Trinidad, with a third of the island's population living in Port of Spain; The total area of the colony as a whole is 5,128 square kilometers, of which 4,828 square kilometers are for Trinidad and 300 square kilometers for Tobago.

Trinidad and Tobago has a colonial population of more than 200,000 people, 40% of whom are black, 40% of whom are Indian indentured laborers and descendants, and 20% who are white or of white descent and Chinese.

After the occupation of Trinidad and Tobago for colonization, leaving behind 1 regiment of Defence Force, 1 regiment of mercenaries and 1 destroyer, the Deputy Division Commander of the Defence Force was responsible for leading the troops to maintain order in the occupied areas; The remaining troops, led by the commander of the defense division, went to occupy the colony of French Guiana.

After Gao Changshui occupies LinkedIn Guiana, he will send the commander of the defense division to lead 1 regiment of defense forces and 1 regiment of mercenaries to occupy Dutch Guiana.

The three Guiana colonies had smaller populations, living mainly along the coast and along the river, and if they occupied the local capital, they were considered to be fully occupied.

Due to the small population and small area, none of these colonies played an important role, all the troops stationed were very small, none of them exceeded 1,000 troops, and the French colonies had the least garrison, with only one battalion of officers and soldiers, less than 500 people.

The three Guyana colonies were predominantly black, Indian, and mestizo.

On the morning of the 4th, Gao Changshui sent a telegram to Feng Guohua, preparing to launch an attack on the morning of the 5th.

Song Shijie, Premier of the State Council of Lu, immediately issued a telegram to protect overseas Chinese: Due to the inaction of the British, French, Dutch and other governments, the Chinese were treated unfairly, the manors were destroyed, and the shops were smashed. The government of the Republic of China has decided to send warships and troops to carry out reasonable and legal actions to protect overseas Chinese, and I would like to apologize for any unnecessary trouble caused to other countries.

At 6 o'clock in the morning of the 5th, the battles in Port of Spain and Georgetown began at the same time.

The spy personnel had already informed Li of the coordinates of the barracks in the city, and now the commanders on each warship had telegrams of the specific locations of each barracks.

Gao Changshui was on a heavy cruiser, and the warship was 10 kilometers off the coast of Georgetown; In the command room, Major General Gao Changshui kept looking nervously at his pocket watch, this was the first battle he commanded, and there was no room for sloppiness.

At 7 o'clock, he shouted, "Fire!" ”

The captain quickly conveyed the order.

The cruiser's main guns had long been prepared, 9 203mm guns, flashing several bursts of fire in a row, instantly emitting a huge roar, and 9 shells with a deafening whistling sound, flew towards the British barracks one after another.

The British barracks were located in the eastern part of Georgetown, not far from the sea.

At this time, the British officers and soldiers were still asleep, and they had no idea that danger was coming.

9 explosive shells exploded in the barracks, each shell had a radius of 400 meters, and a shell could empty a space larger than a football field. The surviving British officers and soldiers immediately ran out of the dormitory naked, and were immediately stunned by the bleak scene outside.

Before the British could react, a second round of shells came, with an interval of less than 30 seconds, leaving no time for the British to flee for their lives.

Since all the surviving British officers and soldiers were in a standing state at this time, the lethality of the second round of shells was even greater, and even the lucky ones who did not die are now basically concussed, tinnitus, and dazzled, and have completely lost their combat effectiveness.

The huge explosion woke up all the personnel in Georgetown, the British governor knew that the enemy army was coming, and only the Xia Empire dared to attack the British colonies, and yesterday the vassal state of the Xia Empire issued a telegram to protect overseas Chinese, this is not a coincidence, this is a premeditated military activity; The direction of the violent explosion and fire was the barracks, and he knew that the barracks were over, but he didn't know how many people would survive.

Most of the buildings in Georgetown are made of wood, and if the enemy continues to shell and cause a fire, not many people in the city will be able to escape. There was no time to send a telegram for help to the British, in order to reduce the casualties in the city and prevent the enemy from shelling the city, he immediately went to the office and issued a telegram of surrender, and at the same time as the enemy received the telegram, the telegram could be received in Britain, hoping that they would understand their difficulties.

In such a narrow range, so many 203mm shells exploded, and the bleakness can be imagined.

After firing two rounds of shells, Gao Changshui was just about to order his troops to land and occupy Georgetown, when the telegraph operator on his heavy cruiser received a clear telegram of surrender from the British governor. Gao Changshui was very happy, that is, this victory came too easily, and there was no sense of achievement, but he still ordered the chief of staff of the national defense division in time to lead 1 regiment of Wehrmacht and 1 regiment of mercenaries under the protection of 1 destroyer to land, accept the surrender of the British governor, and occupy the whole of British Guiana.

Gao Changshui led the remaining troops to Dutch Guiana to prepare to occupy Paramaribo.

Seeing that the British surrendered so easily, there was really no big problem in this war, which relaxed Gao Changshui's vigilant heart.

When Gao Changshui sent troops to occupy Georgetown, Port of Spain was also easily occupied.

At 4 p.m. on the 5th, Gao Changshui occupied Dutch Guiana; On the morning of the 6th, French Guiana was occupied.

To the surprise of all the officers and men, this battle was simpler than tourism, and it was too unskilled, and on the surface the army had gained a lot of military exploits, but in terms of personal military merits, it was very insignificant and had no effect on personal growth.

On the morning of the 5th, the Second Route Army began to launch war operations, and its efficiency was no less than that of the First Route Army, and there was no need to even fire naval guns, and the other side raised a white flag before the destroyer had even landed, and there were fewer garrisons on each island, only one platoon of officers and soldiers, and they also served part-time police duties.

On the 6th, the Third Route Army also began to move, first of all in Port George Prince in Nassau, and there were not many British troops stationed on the remaining islands, so it was enough to send mercenaries up to maintain order.

On the 8th, the Third Route Army occupied Bermuda.

The occupation of various places was very fast, and under the deterrence of naval artillery, the officers and men of Britain, France and the Netherlands surrendered smoothly; All those who dared to resist were executed by mercenaries; If one person resists, the whole family will be executed, if one mercenary is injured, 5 locals will be executed, if one mercenary dies, 10 locals will be executed, if the attacker cannot be found, the whole town or village will be executed in 1 out of 10, and the brutal mercenaries have deterred the resistance of whites, blacks, and mixed-race people.

At this point, the American colonies that Britain, France, the Netherlands and other countries had been operating for hundreds of years since the Great Voyage had all been occupied by the Xia Empire, and all the efforts of hundreds of years had disappeared and come to naught. (To be continued.) )
