The British were mobilizing the army on a large scale, especially a large number of Indian soldiers were drafted and then formed into the British Indian Army, and the armies of the other colonies were also mobilized and sent to India, Burma, Malaysia, Australia and other Asian regions.

Even its precious native troops were transferred to India!

For a time, hundreds of thousands of British troops of all kinds, most of them colonies, gathered in the British colonies of Asia, especially India, Burma, and Singapore.

At this time, the layout of the empire in the Ning Kingdom for many years was finally reflected in its effect, and the regent of the Ning Kingdom, Li Haotong, announced that he was officially a vassal to the Chinese Empire, and the Ning Kingdom became a vassal state of the Chinese Empire.

Although the empire is also very happy to seal the title of 'King Ning'.

The Ning Kingdom officially became part of the Greater China system, of course, although the Ning Kingdom was a vassal, but it retained a large number of independent rights, including diplomacy, military, etc., the empire obtained the name of a suzerain, followed by the military access rights in the Ning Kingdom.

This military access is a necessary condition for the imperial army to cross the Ning Kingdom and launch an attack on British Burma, if the Ning Kingdom refuses to give the Imperial military access rights, then the Empire can only destroy the Ning Kingdom directly.

After the mobilization of the Imperial Army, the posture of launching an all-out war is even larger than that of the Navy!

In early February, the Seventh Army, with more than 60,000 men, entered the mountainous region of northwestern India, which was later known as Pakistan, and then fought a fierce battle with the British in this mountainous region where transportation and supply were difficult.

At the same time, the combined forces of the Imperial Army and the Ning Army also officially launched an attack on Lower Burma, with a total of more than 150,000 people in the Third Army and the Fifth Army under the Imperial Army, plus about 50,000 people in the Ning Army, a total of 200,000 allied troops launched an attack on British Burma at the same time, and the troops were divided into two routes, all the way to Yangon, and all the way to the west.

At the same time, a mountain division was mobilized in the Tibetan region, and nearly 16,000 people were killed in India, but the supply in this direction was more difficult, and it was only a secondary operational direction.

On February 23, the 3rd Brigade of the Imperial Marine Corps landed on the Malaysian Peninsula about 50 kilometers away from Singapore under the cover of the Navy's fleet, and then two divisions of the Army also landed on the Malaysian Peninsula.

So that the main fleet of the Imperial Navy can completely wipe out these remaining East India fleets!

The swift action of the Imperial Army was to scare the British into silly, although the British began to prepare after the Jinhua incident broke out at the end of last year, but they could not prepare anything in a hurry, and the mobilized Indians had not yet formed an army.

With only a few tens of thousands of troops on the Burmese side, it is impossible to resist the 200,000 combined forces of the Imperial and Ning armies.

Before the end of February, more than 60,000 troops of the Third Army of the Empire had already arrived at the city of Rangoon, and now there were less than 20,000 British troops in Rangoon.

If the defeat of the South China Sea naval battle made the British feel sad, but they still stubbornly wanted to gather troops to continue the war, then the imminent loss of Rangoon was to make the British really think for the first time that Britain might lose this war!

The loss of a single Rangoon is nothing, and the loss of British Burma is nothing, but according to the current trend of the Chinese army's advancement, it is possible for them to quickly take the whole of Lower Burma, and then it is very difficult for Singapore to hold because of the disparity in troops.

Once Singapore is lost, then the Chinese navy will be able to fight into the Indian Ocean, and then establish a sea transportation and supply channel, and then the whole of India will be in danger.

So by March, the British parliamentarians in London were already arguing endlessly, some in favor of continuing the war, some in favor of stopping the war, and negotiating with the Chinese.

But until this quarrel is inconclusive, the war between China and Britain will not stop.

At this time, under the impetus of the Imperial Foreign Affairs Department, Langang State also launched a large-scale offensive in Borneo again, and received reinforcements from a brigade of the Empire, the Dutch on Borneo could not resist at all, and even wanted to reinforce or retreat, because the Imperial Navy was now completely blockaded in Southeast Asian waters, and the Dutch Navy did not have the courage to go to Borneo at all.

Not to mention the Philippine side, the Spaniards in Manila simply surrendered after learning of the defeat of the British fleet in the South China Sea naval battle, and the Imperial forces are currently clearing the remnants of other armies and natives in the Philippine archipelago.

As of March, the Empire's military operations in all directions were quite smooth!

This is not going well, the empire has been preparing for this war for several more years, and all kinds of plans are already quite perfect, once it is launched, it can burst out with the greatest combat effectiveness, which is not at all something that the Netherlands and Spain can resist, and even the British are retreating one after another.

On March 16, Rangoon, which had been held for most of the month, was officially declared lost, and after more than half of the 20,000 British soldiers were killed and wounded, the rest were forced to surrender as prisoners of war.

At the same time, the fighting on the Singapore side was also at its fiercest, and the British troops trapped in Singapore had no ammunition inside and no reinforcements outside, and the situation was not much better than that of the Russians in Arthur during the Russo-Japanese War, and more importantly, the British did not have a large number of machine guns to defend in these years.

Therefore, although Singapore is the leading fortress in the Far East, it is only a matter of time before it is taken for the Imperial Army.

The Sino-Ningbo coalition in Burma is already targeting India, Singapore is about to be lost, and more importantly, the French are not at ease at this time.

Its fleet is active frequently, and a large number of capital ships are being assembled.

Now that a large number of British warships have been transferred to the Indian Ocean, the fleet in Europe is empty, it is inevitable that the French will not have other ideas, if they can take advantage of the emptiness of the British home fleet, a sneak attack or something, not to mention completely cutting off the transfer of the British home fleet, but as long as it is heavily damaged, then it will be enough to make the British Royal Navy breathless in the next ten or even twenty years.

In the face of the changes of the French, the British were more cautious, and many of the capital ships that were originally going to be transferred to the Indian Ocean were canceled.

However, it is difficult to say whether the British will be able to maintain the size of their fleet in Asia! (To be continued.) )
