"When is it possible to fight against India?" Wang Yuze asked. Because Germany is becoming more and more unreliable, China must speed up the course of the war. First of all, India and Australia cannot be let go. India and Australia are both large and rich in resources, and if they can be occupied, it will be very beneficial to China. The current Chinese population is close to 600 million, and a broader living space is needed. India has a vast area of arable land, second only to the United States. Although Australia is full of deserts, the eastern and southern coastal areas can also accommodate tens of millions of people. Coupled with Australia's abundant iron ore resources, if China wants to rise, it cannot let go.

"陛xià! According to the plan of the General Staff, we will launch an operation against India in mid-October. Eighty percent of the troops are now in place, and the rest will be in place within a month. This time, we will send 3 army groups and fifty infantry divisions to India. In addition, there are 700,000 Japanese mercenaries and 300,000 Korean mercenaries! Chief of the General Staff Cai Yun said. The reason why the time of the war against India is set in October is entirely based on India's climatic conditions. The rainy season in India is from June to September every year, and from October onwards, the rainfall will be much less, and the roads will be less muddy, which will help the movement of the heavily equipped units of the armored units of the squadron. When Britain was in India, they only knew how to harvest wealth, and they did not think about strengthening India's construction at all. Therefore, the squadron's actions in India will be greatly restricted. The plains in the north may be a little better, but the Deccan plateau in the south is very bad.

Wang Yuze nodded, and it was not too late to launch an operation against India in October. After all, India has too many people, and the British are aware of China's intentions against India, especially after China cut off the Suez Canal, and is desperately arming India. If China wants to take India, it will probably need to invest a lot of force.

"Will the amount of troops we have invested in India affect our operations elsewhere?" Wang Yuze asked. In India, China would have to invest about 1.5 million people, not counting the mercenaries of Japan and North Korea. In addition to India, there is also Australia. In addition, according to the original agreement with Germany, China will have to launch an attack on Russia starting next spring. The most important battlefield in the Americas, once the squadron invades the United States, it will definitely have to send more troops over. This will make the pressure on China's troops very great all of a sudden.

"Your Majesty, there won't be too much pressure for the time being. The General Staff planned to commit three army groups and fifty infantry divisions in India, and only one army group and thirty infantry divisions in Australia. In addition to the troops in the Americas, we have two army groups and more than 200 infantry divisions left, which are more than enough to cope with the next situation. Cai Yun of the General Staff explained. After the start of the war, the Chinese army continued to expand, except after the previous ten group armies

The number of infantry divisions has been expanded by 400, which has increased the strength of the Chinese Army to tens of millions. Such a huge number of troops is enough to support China's operations on multiple fronts. Moreover, this is not China's limit, with China's population resources and industrial strength, even if this number is doubled, there will be no problems.

"Well, what about our enemies? How long did the British prepare in India and Australia? You must be trying to cause us a lot of trouble! Wang Yuze said. India and Australia, especially India, were arguably the most important British colonies. Britain was able to plunder tens of millions, if not billions of pounds, of wealth from India every year. If India is lost, it will be a huge blow to Britain. Therefore, the British will certainly not let China seize India so easily. Even if they knew that the loss of India was out of the question. But in the same way, the British must also want to use India to drag China down, so as to deplete China's national strength and create opportunities for Britain on other fronts.

"Your Majesty, as of last month, the total number of British troops in India has increased to tens of millions, and it continues to expand.

It is expected that by the time we attack, the total strength of the Anglo-Indian army will be about 12 million! Cai Yun said.

"Twelve million? The British are really willing to pay for it! Wang Yuze said a little speechlessly, even if the lives of those Indian Ah San are worthless, they can't be used like this! The rest of the empire's top brass were also shocked by this figure, doesn't this mean that India's total military strength is greater than China's? The total strength of the Chinese army has just reached 10 million, and with the addition of the navy and air force, it is estimated that it is only about 12 million.

"Your Majesty, there are 300 million people in India, and it is not a big problem to arm an army of 12 million under the forced conscription of the British. It's just that this is more than 10 million English! The combat effectiveness of the Indian army is extremely low, and many people are only equipped with rudimentary rifles! The army, which was already made up of pure Englishmen, was only half a million men. In addition, the entire Anglo-Indian army lacked heavy equipment, and according to the information we received, the Anglo-Indian army had a total of 1,500 artillery pieces larger than 105 millimeters, about 10,000 small-caliber guns, and 2,000 heavy machine guns and 10,000 light machine guns. There are no tanks and planes. Moreover, the morale of the troops was very low, especially the Indians who were forcibly captured to serve in the troops, who did not want to fight at all, or did not dare to fight against us. In such a situation, as long as we gain the advantage of the battlefield, those Indians will definitely be defeated. We'll be able to beat them like rabbits! Cai Yun said with a smile. The huge strength of the British and Indian troops is indeed quite scary, but except for the army composed of 500,000 British, which has a little combat effectiveness, the rest of the Indians are simply garbage in the garbage!

Wang Yuze deeply agrees with Cai Yun's point of view, Indians are originally a lazy people, otherwise they would not have the second largest arable land area in the world, and they would not be able to support so many people. Moreover, after being domesticated by the British for decades, the Indians have lost their enterprising spirit and have completely become slaves colonized by Western countries. Although China has only invested 1.5 million troops in India, plus the mercenaries of Japan and North Korea, it is only 2.5 million, but it is enough to sweep through India.

"What about Australia? How many troops did the British have in Australia? Wang Yuze asked.

"The British forces in Australia were mainly deployed in Australia and New Zealand. Of these, Australia has 800,000 troops and New Zealand has 200,000 troops. Of the million-strong army, all but 200,000 were recruited from Australia and New Zealand. However, although the British in Australia had much less troops than India, their combat effectiveness was very strong, and their equipment was similar to that of the British army, so the General Staff decided to invest a group army and 30 infantry divisions in Australia. In addition, there are 300,000 Japanese mercenaries and 200,000 Korean mercenaries! Cai Yun said.

Wang Yuze nodded in agreement, Australians and New Zealanders are basically descendants of the British, although Australia now has a population of only 4.5 million, and New Zealand has a population of only 1 million. However, the combat effectiveness of Westerners is definitely much stronger than that of India. Of course, relying on just one million people is like resisting the attack of the squadron, which is simply impossible.

"So, when will the attack on Australia begin?" Wang Yuze asked.

"Your Majesty, the attack on Australia is tentatively scheduled for December. First of all, we need to ensure the logistics of the American theater, and at the same time, when we fight in India, we also need to transport a large amount of supplies from the sea. The war against Australia was also a large-scale sea-crossing operation, which required the full cooperation of the navy. The Navy should be able to deploy enough capacity to support the Australian battlefield in December! Cai Yun said.

The battlefield in the Americas has involved most of China's energy. Although the squadron has only 1.7 million people in the Americas, plus the total of 700,000 mercenaries from Japan and Korea, it is less than 2.5 million people. But because it needs to cross the Pacific Ocean for resupply, this takes up a lot of the Navy's capacity. In addition, after the invasion of the United States, the resistance of the Americans will definitely be more intense, and China will have to continue to recruit troops to the Americas. The army will send at least fifty more infantry divisions or so. In addition, the mercenaries of Japan and North Korea may have to send another 500,000 people. When the time comes, the logistical pressure will be even greater. Of course, in order to ease the logistical pressure, some extreme measures will definitely be taken in the United States at that time. For example, grain and the like are collected on the spot, and there is no need to transport them from the country with great difficulty. The United States is already a large grain producer, and it is not difficult to collect enough grain for millions of troops to eat. Of course, the ** team will definitely not come forward in person in this kind of thing, and only needs to be handed over to the Japanese mercenaries and Korean mercenaries to complete. I believe that they also have a lot of experience in this area, and they will definitely complete the task very well!

In addition, the transportation conditions in the border areas between China and India are also relatively poor. The pressure on logistics is also very high. Only by sea transport can the consumption of nearly two million people after the addition of mercenaries be guaranteed. This also makes it necessary for the squadron to seize the coastal ports as soon as possible after launching an attack on India, so as to facilitate subsequent replenishment. As for the attack on Australia, it will be at the back of the list. When the Indian battlefield has opened up, the Navy can ease some of its capacity.
