Chapter 155: Yang Feng's pets
General Manekshaw finally fulfilled his promise to Timaiya...
Four hours later, he was captured at his headquarters, and he wanted to commit suicide, but before he could do anything, he was thrown a tear gas canister by the Ming soldiers who rushed in from outside, and he was so dizzy that people rushed in and tied him up.
At this point, Calcutta completely fell into the hands of the coalition forces, of course, the battle was only beginning, and Nehru, who was stunned by this bad news, after coming to his senses, went crazy and mobilized all the troops at his disposal from all fronts to launch a counteroffensive against Calcutta.
As Yang Feng expected, he could not afford to lose the city no matter what, even if the value of Kashmir as a whole could not be compared to that of Kolkata.
And just when the armies of Tianzhu were pressing towards Calcutta, the coalition forces that cleared the channel were also passing through the port, sending soldiers and various war materials to the shore in a steady stream, and at the same time began to build a defensive line around it, preparing to fight to the death with the Tianzhu people.
Of course, for this kind of fighting, it will be the turn of the Pakistanis.
Spurred on by the victory, and of course mainly by Yang Feng's promise that Calcutta would be handed over to the Pakistani government, Jinnah threw three divisions directly into the city, and armed the local Muslims with three militia divisions.
Anyway, there are arms, because the defeat was too fast, the arsenal in Calcutta is basically intact, and the large number of weapons and ammunition that Starling gave to Nehru all fell into the hands of the coalition army, these messy things, Yang Feng will definitely not look down on them, Assam has too little population and does not need it, in fact, the two divisions Moran are a little difficult to raise, and they are not ready to expand the army at all. Then these things are naturally all cheap, Jinnah.
He was going to use an army of 100,000. The same as his good brother back then. Fight it out in Kolkata.
"Your Excellency, what is your goal?"
Jensen, the British ambassador to Ming, asked Yang Feng very directly.
Today was originally Yang Feng's birthday, and he wanted to do a parade, but unfortunately the war broke out suddenly, so he had to cancel all kinds of activities and instead hold a small banquet to invite some friends to pull him down, but many ordinary people were spontaneously celebrating the birthday of the head of state, and the fireworks were all over the place. Evelyn is receiving guests as the future hostess, while Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, and a large number of starlets, who were invited by Yang Feng, are watching fireworks outside.
"I have no interest in the land of the subcontinent, and as for Prime Minister Jinnah, I think he will also respect His Majesty's division of the territory between the two countries, after all, this war was caused by Nehru's ambitions, but it is not the fault of the people of Tianzhu, who are still peace-loving. We seized Calcutta just to give Nehru a punishment. And in exchange for him if he wants us to withdraw from Calcutta. Then he would have to admit defeat and return the northern shore of the Assam Republic, and have Kashmir hold an open and fair referendum under the supervision of the international community to join Pakistan or Tianzhu.
Of course, he also has to compensate for part of the military expenses, we have spent so much money and died so many people, we have to compensate a little, as for the number, it depends on the duration of the war, the longer he will naturally pay more. โ
Yang Feng said.
Jensen smiled and nodded, these requirements were reasonable, enough to show that Yang Feng didn't have much ambition.
In fact, the British government did not want the war to expand, because they still had a lot of interests in Tianzhu, including a large number of civilians, and the battle of Calcutta had already caused the death of several British.
If Yang Feng is what he said he was aiming for, then there is no need to interfere, he beat Nehru hard, it is not a bad thing for Britain, otherwise with Stalin's support, Nehru will definitely attack the interests of the Britons in Tianzhu, but if Yang Feng beats him down, there is no such danger.
"Your Excellency, I have heard that you are ready to allow Ceylon to stand again, is this true?"
Yang Feng suddenly asked curiously.
"yes, I think it's almost a foregone conclusion." Jensen said busily.
"I really don't understand what Attlee is trying to do. A year ago he had taken the most brilliant jewel from the crown, a month ago he had made Honsawwady up, and now he was going to make Ceylon stand up, did he have to destroy the centuries-old legacy of the British Empire before he was reconciled? If it had been Sir Churchill, he would never have let the glory of the empire flow like the water of the Thames, and you should not have allowed a shehuiist to come to power in the first place. Of course, I don't have any prejudices against Shehuiism, after all, it is fundamentally different from the **ism of the Soviets. โ
Yang Feng said like a British little fenqing.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister Attlee must also consider the budget, and you also know that Britain has been badly damaged in the war, and for the time being the main focus should be on construction."
Jensen said with some embarrassment.
"Then the colonies should not be abandoned, without market resources, does the British Empire still want to restore its former glory?"
Yang Feng said.
Jensen didn't know what to say to this guy anymore.
"I hope that in the next election, the people of your country can make the right choice."
Yang Feng said lightly that in fact, his future father-in-law, and Qiu Fatzi have always been sworn friends and the main allies of the Congress.
At this moment, the guests who were feasting suddenly turned their eyes to the forest road leading from the gate to the Fรผhrer's capital, and two of the latest Beetle cars were driving one after the other, and each of them was carrying a very ornate-looking heraldic thing.
At this time, the Beetle has begun to sweep the world, relying on the management of Porsche's father and son and the new technology owned by Shijue, coupled with Yang Feng forcing those guys who cooperate with him to promote in Europe and the United States, especially Ranke and Cohen's promotion in the United States, and even the little stars of Columbia, who must take this kind of car to attend any event, and finally quickly opened up the market, last year's production and sales have exceeded 20,000 units, and this year's Porsche goal is 100,000 units, this factory is not only resurrected, And it also became the backbone of Prussia's dying economy.
In the Far East, because of Yang Feng's relationship, it is the first choice for Chinese people to buy cars, and the private cars running on Ambuna Island are basically all like this.
"Ah, the two highnesses have arrived."
Looking at the two beetles, Yang Feng suddenly said in surprise, and then left Jensen and stepped forward, Evelyn also stepped forward with a little confusion when she saw this, and walked over with his arm.
At this time, the two Beetles had stopped, and as the attendant in the front seat got out of the car and opened the door, a yellow man dressed in strange costumes walked out of it, one of them was estimated to be no more than eighteen years old, and the other was holding a woman, the two first nodded to each other, and then the attendant handed the invitation to Yang Feng's butler.
The housekeeper took a look at it and shouted in a long voice: "His Majesty Li Jiu, King of the Goryeo Kingdom, a subject of the Ming Empire, has arrived, and His Majesty Shang Yu, King of the Ryukyu Kingdom, a subject of the Ming Empire, has arrived with the princess." โ
Well, Yang Feng's pets are unveiled.
In a surprised discussion, Yang Feng took Evelyn forward, stretched out his hand with a smile on his face, Li Jiu and Shang Yu and his wife hurriedly stepped forward, slightly bent down and shook hands with Yang Feng with respect, as if they were real leaders, introduced each other, and then exchanged greetings, and then walked to the banquet together and introduced several major officials and army generals of the Ming Empire.
In fact, these two people have arrived a long time ago, and they have been raised on Ambuna Island, Li Jiu is still a student of the Ming Imperial Naval Academy, originally Yang Feng wanted him to enter Nanyang University to study Chinese studies, but he himself insisted on going to a military school, in this case, Yang Feng is not good at dampening his enthusiasm.
And not only the two of them, but many people from the two royal families have followed, and they all have their own small courts, anyway, there are job opportunities on the island, and they live a very comfortable life.
"Your Excellency, who are these two Highnesses?"
Johnson, who was also invited, looked at the two kings who were chatting with people, and asked Yang Feng cautiously.
Because Da Ming and Mi Guo do not have formal diplomatic relations, he has been hooking up with Yang Feng part-time.
"You are them, how to say it, they are all the subjects of our Ming Dynasty before, especially Goryeo, after the Jiashen national disaster, for a long time still insisted on my Ming Zhengshuo, which can be regarded as a rare loyalty, before their country was annexed by the Japanese State, and now the Japanese State is defeated, it is natural to restore the country, regardless of whether they are still welcome to go back in their country, but here in me, I must fulfill my duties as their suzerain.
However, I still hope that President Truman will seriously consider returning them to their own country as kings, and in any case, they are all constitutional monarchies, and whether Goryeo and Ryukyu are republics or monarchies, they are all definitely democracies, and survival is also a virtue of great powers. โ
Yang Feng said with a smile.
Goryeo is definitely impossible, the Goryeo people do not welcome this king, Li Yin was even condemned as a traitor, even if the people of the United States don't care about letting Syngman Rhee be the president or the prime minister, but in this case, they will not get Li Jiu back to be the king, and he must be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty to be the king, so the Goryeo people will not agree.
But the Ryukyus are worth the effort, after all, there is not much population there, and the Japanese people are not qualified to oppose it at this time.
Johnson looked at him very meaningfully, obviously a little unaware of his intentions, of course, he didn't think that Yang Feng was ready to annex the two countries in this way, how brain-dead did he have to have such ambitions, but why did he do this?
It's inexplicable! (To be continued......)
