1063 Our journey is the sea of stars

Previous Chapter

Considering that British Malaya is very close to the mainland of Lan Fang, the Lan Fang Air Force used the inferior "Eagle Eagle" to bomb the Lion City and Jakarta, not the latest "Kangaroo".

The "Eagle Eagle" bomber is Lan Fang's first bomber with a load capacity of 5,000 kilograms, and there are seven crew members on board, except for the main pilot, co-pilot, navigator and bombardier, the other four are machine gunners, and they have to operate the eight machine guns installed on the "Eagle Eagle" to give the "Eagle Eagle" a certain degree of self-defense capability.

On the day of the bombing on July 23, a total of 11 eagles were shot down, which means that 77 crew members were lost in British Malaya, and considering that machine gunners could not parachute, then 33 people should have survived.

Bomber machine gunners are really one of the most dangerous professions, they can only stay in a very small space on the plane, and it is difficult to turn around, so in the event of an accident with the plane, it is difficult for the machine gun shooter to survive.

Lan Fang had long been prepared, so at the beginning of the war, the Lan Fang Military Department sent more than ten small teams to infiltrate British Malaya in advance, and with the cooperation of local intelligence organizations, they were ready to rescue the air force pilots who had fallen into the enemy formation.

After the battle started on the morning of the 23rd, these squads were indeed preparing to rescue the pilots in the Lion City and Jakarta according to the scheduled plan, but unfortunately their mission was unsuccessful, and it was indeed Lan Fang's air force pilots who parachuted and jumped to their lives, but they escaped the fate of martyrdom, but they could not escape the pursuit of the British ground forces.

Of course, given the urine nature of the Malays, there may also be civilians involved.

Although the population structure of British Malaya is still mostly Chinese, in the long-term demonization propaganda of the United Kingdom, the image of Lan Fang in British Malaya is really not good.

In fact, even if the British colonial government did not slander the Lanfang government, the Chinese in British Malaya would not go to Lanfang.

When the Lanfang government first established the country, the plantation owners in Southeast Asia who relied on exploiting the Chinese for a living were liquidated, but unfortunately, it was those Chinese plantation owners who hated the Chinese workers the most, and the situation in British Malaya was particularly serious.

To be honest, when Qin Zhiyuan heard the news, of course he was angry, and of course he didn't feel too surprised.

It just so happened that Qin Zhiyuan and Dylan Connor were talking about humanitarianism, so Qin Zhiyuan had a breakthrough at this moment: "Dylan, you see, it's not that I don't want to implement humanitarianism, but I don't think it's necessary to implement humanitarianism for such barbarians." ”

"No, no, no, Your Majesty, we don't bite back when we walk down the street and are bitten by a dog." Dylan Connor also wanted to persuade Qin Zhiyuan.

"Of course I won't bite it back-" Qin Zhiyuan gave Dylan Connor a strange look, which made Dylan Connor a little embarrassed, as if Dylan Connor would bite back: "But I will beat that dog to death to prevent it from biting other people again!" ”

This method is also quite simple, Dylan Connor opened his mouth, but he still didn't say anything after all.

Since this is the case, it is not polite, so Qin Zhiyuan waved his hand, and the 1st Armored Division and the 14th and 15th Infantry Divisions of Siam, which had long been assembled in the Badong area of Jinzhou, immediately dispatched to launch a ground attack on British Malaya from the north and south.

Of course, while attacking on the ground, the aerial bombardment did not stop, this time the air force was even more brutal, no matter how many balloons the British made on the ground, the bombers of the Lanfang Air Force did not care about it at all, after flying over the Lion City and Jakarta, the Lanfang bombers just threw bombs down, regardless of whether they would bomb military targets or other civilian areas or civilian areas.

Anyway, the British have been operating in Shicheng and Jakarta for hundreds of years, and these two cities have left too many British imprints, and if Lan Fang occupies these two cities, it will definitely be pushed to reconstruction, and it will be easy to blow it up now.

There are basically no monuments in Lan Fang, in Surabaya or Coconut City, or other areas, there are no buildings built by the Dutch at the beginning, but instead of Chinese classical buildings, that is, modern high-rise buildings, there are no relics for people to visit. Qin Zhiyuan didn't think that keeping a colonial-style area within the city would increase the diversity of the city, and that would only be a shame for Lan Fang, not a glory.

Just as Lan Fang was attacking the British Malayan region, Coconut City welcomed a group of special guests.

All were refugees from French Indochina.

After France declared war on Germany, the order in French Indochina quickly collapsed within ten days, the colonial army was almost disbanded, and the government institutions were under siege.

This choice is very interesting, perhaps these French people still hope that French Indochina will return to normal order in the future and they can return home, but subconsciously they no longer trust the French government, but pin their hopes on the Lanfang government, this choice is a bit playful.

In addition to the traditional friendship between Lanfang and France, more considerations are to exert influence on the French government, of course, there are also some economic interests, except for some French people who fled from Saigon in a hurry and did not have time to carry their belongings to live in the relief station, most French people carry valuable belongings with them, and some French people even buy houses and land directly in Coconut City or Palembang, posing as a long-term residence. For these people, of course, the Lanfang government will not refuse, and will even welcome it very much.

On July 26, the 1st Armored Division of the Lanfang Army landed on the Malay Peninsula from Golden State, and the British Army deployed three British divisions, two British Malayan servant divisions, and four Indian divisions on the Malay Peninsula, with a total strength of more than 150,000 troops.

Lan Fang's ground forces for the offensive were only three divisions and less than 50,000 people, and the gap between them and the British army was very large, but the British army, which lacked armored troops, could not compete with the tank troops of the first armored division.

Objectively speaking, the tactics of the British were also improving, and after the last world war, everyone realized the cruelty of trench warfare and was no longer willing to put their limited living forces into the flesh mill of trench warfare, and armored forces became the dominant force on the battlefield.

In fact, the British prefer to study weapons, whether it is a battleship or a tank, the British always want to have thicker armor and stronger firepower, so that an inevitable consequence is that the tanks of the British army are almost all heavy tanks, and the terrain of British Malaya is complex, the water network is dense, swamps are everywhere, and there are primeval forests everywhere, in such an environment, heavy tanks are really not as good as light tanks or heavy tanks, coupled with the limited production capacity of the British, the only heavy tanks are not enough, It was even more impossible to organize the attack of Lan Fang's army.

In fact, by July 26, the British had already had the intention of evacuating British Malaya, at this time the results of the naval battle of Sardinia had spread all over the world, the British concentrated nearly half of the capital ships of the British Navy to attack Sardinia, but before they arrived in Sardinia, they were suddenly attacked by the Lanfang Air Force, and the three aircraft carriers in the British fleet were all sunk, of which the "Glorious" was sunk by the British themselves,

Of the six battleships in the British fleet, the flagship battleships "Hood" and "Counterattack" were badly damaged and had to be towed back to the shipyard for overhaul, the battleships "Captain Centurifies" and "Prestige" were sunk, and more than half of the other heavy cruisers and light cruisers were lost.

Despite the heavy price, the British were unable to capture Sardinia, and the last remaining ground crews on Sardinia had already boarded speedboats to prepare for Corsica, only to wait for the news that the air force had repelled the British fleet.

This result immediately shocked the whole world, everyone had to re-examine Lan Fang's strength, Lan Fang, who has a strong air force, before the air forces of other countries grow up, the combat effectiveness shown is almost impossible to defeat, and the Lan Fang Air Force will not rest on its laurels, it will also continue to progress, considering the advantages that the Lan Fang Air Force now has, the gap between the air forces of other countries and the Lan Fang Air Force will not only not narrow, but will further expand.

In order to ensure the superiority of the British army on the mainland, the British had to give up British Malaya, and even prepared to give up India, withdraw all the living forces to the British mainland, and pin their hopes on the decisive battle with Lan Fang on the mainland.

It's a pity that the movement of Lan Fang's army was unexpectedly fast for the British, and before the British had time to evacuate the Malay Peninsula, Lan Fang's army had already launched an attack, which made it impossible for the British troops on the Malay Peninsula to get out.

On August 1, the British Governor in British Malaya, Nick William, announced his surrender, and Lan Fang captured 100,000 captives, including 40,000 British.

If the war could be counted as World War II, then September was the turning point of the Second World War, when King Lewis Ibrahim of Egypt announced Egypt's entry into the war on September 15, but it was Lan Fang's side that joined it.

After announcing its entry into the war, Egypt blockaded the Suez Canal, and the Lanfang task force in Djibouti and Little Aden blocked the British Far East Fleet in the Suez Canal in the Red Sea, and on September 25, the British expeditionary fleet, which had run out of ammunition and food, surrendered, along with more than 200,000 Indian servants, which was the last capital of the British.

On September 26, Bastien, the commander of the French Foreign Legion, staged a mutiny in Paris, and French President Gaston Dumeigue, who had been in office for less than three months, was ousted by the soldiers of the Foreign Legion.

"What has happened in the past two months is really dizzyingβ€”" In the royal palace of Penglai Island, Foch sat on a recliner on the balcony with a cup of tea and chatted with Qin Zhiyuan.

"Who's to say it wasn't - two months ago, I am afraid no one would have thought that the British would take the initiative to sue for peace." Qin Zhiyuan is drinking, unlike the already aged Foch, Qin Zhiyuan's health is very good, and he should drink a glass at this time.

"What should your imaginary world look like?" Bastian, who had been declared guilty by the French government, was also holding a drink, his eyes were extremely calm.

"I don't know-" Qin Zhiyuan didn't actually take a few sips, but he felt a little smoky: "But I think, war should not be the main theme of the world, and confrontation should not be the main theme, we should make progress together in cooperation, of course, considering the interests between different groups, this world should be full of competition, in fact, I hope that one day I can go to the moon to have a look, this world is always so big, and the living space is just like this, if we want to live a better life, Then we should open up a broader living space, where is the direction we are heading. ”

The direction of Qin Zhiyuan's finger was the sky.
