Chapter 676 - Saudi Statehood (8)
Standing in front of the study map, you can clearly understand how powerful the Rì Buluo Empire is.
From Sarawak in Borneo to Egypt, the entire Indian Ocean and Arabia were under the control of the British Empire! Add to that half of Africa, as well as the Commonwealth countries of Australia and Canada, and almost one-third of the world's land and entrances are under the control of the British Empire. It is conceivable that without these colonies, Britain would not have been able to defeat Germany in the First World War and continue to hold back the indiscriminate bombardment of Germany in the Second World War.
This vast wealth is coveted by all the powerful countries, but few dare to take advantage of it. If such a crisis breaks out before the European war, most of the countries in the world will be on the side of Britain, because it is the alliance and the hegemon to enter the country! Now, after the tragic world war, Britain is showing obvious signs of decline, and the attitudes of various countries are gradually becoming ambiguous. But ambiguity is ambiguity after all, and no one wants to take the first bite. Because it is particularly difficult to obtain this wealth, and the times are different, the national dúlì movement is on the rise, and it will only be indigestion to take the traditional colonial path if you are greedy for more.
The study room was full of people, and even Jiang Fangzhen, who was in Wuhan, came. Everyone looked at the back standing in front of the map, knowing that he also hated to pocket this wealth, but if he really made a move, I am afraid that what he would get may not be wealth. So everyone whispered to each other while analyzing the recent situation, and at the same time worried that he would make excessive moves, so no one dared to disturb him.
It wasn't until a long time later that Yang Qiu turned his head, and a trace of disappointment in his eyes turned around and disappeared. "It's too late to join the world or the world!" Yang Qiu sighed secretly in his heart, put aside all the distractions and asked in a deep voice, "How is the situation?" ”
The attitude of the Faisal family in Iraq is unclear, but President Kemal has assured Shaochuan that Turkey will maintain strict neutrality. Reza Khan of Persia. Pahlavi also said that Britain would not be allowed to use their white spoon land, but he did not give a positive answer to our question of building an airport in northeastern Persia. Wang Zhengting said: "Generally speaking, Arab countries and religious leaders also know the truth of the death of their lips and teeth, and they do not agree with the overthrow of the Saudi family. ”
"What about Europe and the United States?"
"Germany and Italy and other countries support us, and France's attitude is unclear and it seems that it is still waiting. Shi Zhaoji also called and said that Stalin had recently been busy with the collectivization of the farms, trying to eliminate the 6 million kulaks and expand the scale of the collective farms, which had led to frequent domestic opposition and riots, so there would be no jīng force to take care of it. As for the fact that the United States has not yet given a clear answer, I think it should be waiting for which of us has the upper hand. Yue Peng got up and continued: "It's almost over on our side, the 18th and 123rd Divisions are already in Andijan, and the 87th Airborne Brigade Forward Regiment has arrived in Kashgar, and it can bypass the Himalayas and parachute into Delhi at any time. The 1st and 101st Divisions have already begun to move north. The Air Force has already converted 12 transport planes to fly directly to Riyadh from its air base in Fazabad in northern Afghanistan, and the Navy has also sent an additional company to Ziqing with submarines. ”
After Cai's death, Yue Peng was the military's boss second only to Yang Qiu, and this statement shows that the military is ready to accept a full-scale conflict. So after Yang Qiu heard this, he immediately looked around at the crowd, and seeing that everyone had no objections, he nodded and said, "Then let's start, show the power of our white spoon, give Ibn Saud more confidence, and avoid long nights and dreams." ”
The towering Himalayas block the warm currents of the Indian Ocean, and the hot winds arrive here and return with a large amount of warm rain. It is precisely because of this advantage that the great plains of India have been created. Dhaka is located in the eastern part of the Great Plains of India and is the capital of the Indian state of Bengal. Economically, jute and sugar cane are mainly cultivated. Jute, in particular, accounted for more than half of the world's total production and became the most important industry for the British colonists after its medicinal value was discovered.
In order to plunder jute, precious stones, rubber and other resources, the British colonists came to provoke conflicts between local Muslims and Hindus, dividing the area into East and West Bengal, and taking advantage of ethnic contradictions to plunder wildly, which made Dhaka the most serious area of ethnic conflict in mainland India. In particular, after Gandhi's death, the Hindu and Muslim religions in East Bengal and West Bengal have been at odds, which has seriously affected the local jute industry. Fearing that it would turn into a civil war, the British stationed an entire Anglo-Indian division in Dhaka and Calcutta to protect the interests of the colonists while also deterring Burma, the French East Indies, and even Yunnan in China.
"Excuse me, is this the Rommel Plantation?" There is a jute plantation on the western outskirts of Dhaka City, and the old Indian man guarding the gate looked at dozens of ox carts and more than 200 escorted men with jǐng eyes in his eyes, and nodded to the man in charge: "This is, who are you looking for?" ”
The man took out a badge-like thing and threw it to the old man: "We are here to pull goods from the ancient port." ”
The old man didn't know how to read, but he knew the logo of the Gudagang Shipping Company, so he hurriedly opened the door and put the convoy into the plantation. While letting him go, the old Indian man was still muttering, why is this time completely different? There are so many strange faces. The man ignored him and walked deeper into the plantation with more than two hundred men disguised as coolies. Although they had already been tired from the trek from the wild to the mountains all the way, they still maintained a high level of zǐng compassion, and many of them walked with their eyes wandering, like wild wolves when eating, even if the food was currently extra careful.
The plantation is so large that it takes about a quarter of an hour to walk before you come to the living quarters. Dozens of straw huts were built in a messy manner in the living area, and when they saw the man coming, thousands of plantation workers in short coats immediately poured out of the sheds, and the first few were holding Russian water beads, and two Soviet DP light machine guns could even be seen in the dark mounds in the distance.
Seeing that this group of "Indian workers" had guns, the "coolies" also hurriedly lifted the tarpaulin on the car and pulled out the German-made M18 submachine gun of Qingyi Sè. The confrontation between the two groups made the atmosphere of the plantation suddenly tense a lot, but before the "coolie" men could make any move, the man led by them held down the muzzle of the gun and shouted in English into the distance: "Please don't get me wrong, we are here to see General Chandra, please tell him that the brothers of the Korean battalion have come to help." ”
Seeing that a few Indian workers who could understand English turned around to report, the leader finally had the mood to secretly look at the Indian Asian Liberation Army military camp under the cover of a plantation. The Asian Liberation Army of India (APLA) is a new force that has recently emerged in India, and I don't know where they came from, except that the slogan of this guerrilla force is "Expelling colonies, liberating India, and establishing a great Indian republic." As for the leadership of this guerrilla force, the scale, the source of funds, and so on are not known.
The man knew that the so-called Indian Asian Liberation Army was actually a branch of the Asian Liberation Army formed by the China News Bureau, and the leader was the famous leftist leader of the former Indian National Congress Party in Chandra, and even this plantation was a secret industry of the Military Intelligence Agency.
After Chandra agreed to be the commander of the Indian People's Liberation Army in Asia last year, the Military Intelligence Bureau immediately recruited more than 2,000 Indian soldiers from the southeast peninsula, and also painstakingly recruited hundreds of Indian veterans from Africa and other places who had participated in the European war to enrich the ranks, and then sent them here in batches after half a year's training. But even so, Indian soldiers were still not favored, so Shi Xiaolou, who was in charge of the Asian Liberation Army, had to turn to Song Ziqing for help, and finally Jiang Fangzhen thought of recruiting soldiers from North Korea to enrich the ranks. Now disguised as coolies are the soldiers of the North Korean battalion who have been secretly trained at the Changbai Mountain base for a long time.
I don't know how long I waited, Chandra, who was dressed in a traditional Indian robe, walked out of the depths of the garden surrounded by Indian soldiers, and the man in charge immediately stepped forward, raised his right hand and saluted: "The commander of the North Korean battalion, Park Eun-sung, has seen the general. ”
Park Eun-sung is a member of the North Korean National Socialist Party and a former battalion commander of the North Korean National Defense Forces under Kim Koo, who was later dismissed from his post for offending the top brass for some things. The Military Intelligence Bureau felt that this entry had a promising future, and immediately found Chen Guofu and Zhang Zongchang, and recruited them under his command in the name of the National News International. This Park Eun-sung didn't expect that he would be desperate, and he was very dissatisfied with the North Korean high-level, so he joined the military intelligence bureau with all his heart.
The North Korean battalion is an important armed force in the Asian Liberation Army (PLA) under the control of the Military Intelligence Agency, many of which are former North Korean Defense Force soldiers. In order to allow them to play a greater role, the Military Intelligence Bureau is also not stingy, and Qingyi Sè improved German-made M18 submachine guns, imitation Soviet DP light machine guns, grenadiers and so on are readily available. And Park Eun-sung also regarded this mission as a test for him by the party organization, so he gave his life to the dedication, and immediately selected more than 200 jīng rui to rush to the front after getting the departure order, and let most of them be dragged behind.
Looking at these small but fierce Korean soldiers, Chandra was both happy and uneasy, happy to have the help of the Korean battalion, and the Indian Asian Liberation Army was bound to become a decisive force in India, uneasy that he had become more and more involved in the Asian liberation movement, and it was unknown whether India could guarantee its integrity in the future.
After Chandra invited Park Eun-sung into the house, she began to introduce the situation in India and Dhaka. Chandra envisioned Dhaka as a predominantly Muslim settlement, and that the British colonizers would mistakenly believe that the Indo-Asian Liberation Army was the military force of the Muslim League. As long as he can continue to attack the local colonizers, he can galvanize the Muslim resistance and expand the momentum of the Indian Asian Liberation Army, and when the Muslim League has distracted the British army, he will lead his army to Calcutta, the capital of West Bengal, which will be used as a base for the Indian Asian Liberation Army.
After joining the North Korean Defense Forces, Park Eun-sung studied at the Chūn Army Academy, the commander of the Chinese National Defense Forces, and after being dismissed, he was secretly sent to study at Shenyang Guoshe University, so he was more military than Chandra. Immediately saw Chandra's ruthless intention to blame the Mu League, but he didn't care about this, he only cared about the result, so he put forward his own opinions on the plan, thinking that it was not enough to rely on raids alone, and that a strong military operation should be launched to severely attack the British and Indian divisions and local colonists, and incite the local tribes to revolt, so as to strengthen themselves as quickly as possible.
Chandra was surprised by his "ambition" of such a head-on approach, and retorted that the lack of strength of the Indian Asian Liberation Army should not be consumed on a frontal enemy. But Park Eun-sung has his own ideas, in addition to the more than 200 people who came with him today, there will be two freighters that will bring more than 600 brothers from the other Korean battalion to join after the third death, a whole battalion armed to the teeth, even if there is no Chandra cooperation, it is enough to end the Dhaka colony.
Therefore, his plan was that the Korean battalion would use the night sè to launch an attack on the castle of Zhèngfǔ in Dhaka City, as long as he could seize this three-story castle built entirely of solid granite with four 75mm speed shè guns, he could use the cannons on it to bombard the British and Indian division's garrison and deal a hard blow to the opponent. As long as the zhèngfǔ is gone, Dhaka will naturally fall into chaos, and when the time comes, it will be completely possible for the Muslim League to clean up the mess, and he will quickly go south to Calcutta, taking advantage of the opportunity for the British army to rush to Dhaka, and seize Kolkata.
Chandra was secretly surprised by this bold plan, and she couldn't figure out where Park Eun-sung got her confidence to attack the castle of Dhaka, which was defended by hundreds of British soldiers, at night, and then make a detour of hundreds of kilometers to attack Calcutta with the British army! What is even more surprising is that with such a crazy plan, the North Korean officers and soldiers below him actually did not have any objections, compared to the soldiers on his side who buried their heads in sleep at every turn and did not even train seriously.
"General Chandra, Britain needs to be distracted by the Saudi crisis now, and the main forces of the army have been sent to Karachi to be on guard, so this is our best chance to do it. In order to liberate Asia and establish a great Indian republic, it is time to act now! Park Eun-sung's fist slammed into the wooden table, and the tea poured down instantly.
