Shortly after the annihilation of the British Navy's Indian fleet in Asia, the two main field armies of the Imperial Chinese Army and the garrison of 300,000 southwestern provinces crossed the border line with the British Asian colonies of India, Burma, Nepal and Bhutan, and launched an attack on the British troops in these four colonies.

The war began on November 10, 1908, when the attacking forces of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire broke through the defensive positions of the British army on the border line of the four colonies and advanced into the hinterland of the four colonies.

On November 13, the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire attacked the garrison troops of Bhutan, completely defeating the British colonial troops of less than 20,000 in Bhutan and occupying the entire territory of Bhutan.

On November 16, the entire territory of Nepal, a British Asian colony, was occupied by the garrison of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire.

Originally, the battle in Burma was easier for the garrison units of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, and before the troops reached the Burmese city that needed to be attacked, the Burmese in the British colonial army in the city broke out in an uprising, opened the city gates and happily waited for the troops of the Celestial Empire.

The 200,000 garrison troops who entered Burma were drawn from Yunnan, Guizhou, Funan, Vietnam, and Guangxi provinces of the Chinese Empire, and the most important task of entering Burma was to march, and there were really not many places to fight.

However, the roads in Myanmar are too difficult to navigate, and the rain has been falling for several days, making the roads muddy. It is even more difficult to go, that is, the heavy equipment of the garrison is much less than that of the main army. But the speed of the march in Burma was also fascinating, when the whole of Nepal was occupied by the Imperial Chinese Army. Only one-third of Burma was controlled by garrison units of the Imperial Chinese Army, and nearly 100,000 British colonial troops made up of Burmese surrendered to the Chinese Empire.

The remaining two-thirds of Burma was also open to the garrison of the Imperial Chinese Army, waiting for the arrival of the Imperial Chinese Army, and the 150,000 British colonial troops composed of Burmese were also looking forward to the army of the Celestial Empire.

These mid-ranking and senior British officers of the British colonial army in Burma had either escaped or had been slaughtered by Burmese soldiers and Burmese junior officers in the colonial army.

Some Burmese towns where the garrison of the Imperial Chinese Army had not yet arrived, had already been replaced with homemade Chinese imperial flags. Although the armies of the Chinese Empire did not control the whole of Burma, there was no suspense about the war in Burma.

The Royal Army of the Chinese Empire attached the greatest importance to the attack on India, and sent both the Fifth Field Army and the Sixth Field Army to India, with the Fifth Field Army attacking India from southern Tibet and the Sixth Field Army attacking India from eastern Tibet.

India's roads were also difficult to follow, so the two field armies could only advance lightly, leaving heavy equipment behind, and slowly following up.

However, the two field armies were still in full swing. Everywhere they passed, the British army was almost crushed at the touch of a button, until they were stopped by heavy British Army forces at Islamabad and Dhaka, respectively.

The British Army concentrated nearly 600,000 troops in Islamabad. Of these, 60,000 were regular troops of the British Army, and the rest of the troops were colonial troops made up of Indians.

In the city of Dhaka, the British Army also amassed more troops. There were about 650,000 of them, of which the number of British regular troops was also 60,000.

The commanders of the two field armies considered the huge number of British troops in front of them. And it has perfect fortifications, if you let 2 field armies attack without heavy equipment. Even with the air support provided by the fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire, the losses must have been very large, so they unanimously ordered the light troops in the vanguard near Islamabad and Dhaka, stopped their advance, waited for the arrival of heavy equipment and follow-up troops, and then launched an attack on the city where the British had concentrated heavy troops.

Moreover, to attack the heavily defended cities of the British army, it was also necessary for the logistics troops to transport a large amount of war materials to the front line for the use of the attacking troops of the two field armies.

The equally fascinating roads in India make it not so easy to transport war materiel to the vicinity of Islamabad and Dhaka, and the trucks are not able to move at all, so they have to rely on air force transport planes and airships, as well as a small number of horse-drawn wagons, so that it takes a lot of time to transport war materiel alone.

As a result, India, the most important British colony in Asia, temporarily calmed down the war, but in Islamabad and Dhaka, two large-scale battles were brewing.

The war in Britain's Asian colonies has attracted the attention of many countries, especially the grasshoppers who have been on the same rope with Britain, and they are even more concerned about the second land battlefield of this war.

However, the performance of the British Army in the Asian colonies, but there are no surprises to these grasshoppers, Nepal and Bhutan did not last long, they were all occupied by the Chinese Empire, Burma is even more speechless, the Chinese Empire's army has not yet arrived, the flag of the Chinese Empire has been raised at the head of the city, although Burma still has a large territory, the Chinese Empire's army has not received, but the whole Burma is already in the bag of the Chinese Imperial Army.

Only India, Britain is currently amassing heavy troops in 2 cities, temporarily blocking the advance of the Chinese Imperial Army, but how long it can be stopped, there is really no need to report too much hope.

The British also understood the situation of the Asian colonies, occupied Nepal and Bhutan, and Burma, which was not fully occupied, and the British had actually given up and concentrated on defending India, the most important colony for Britain in Asia and even in the world.

At the same time as Islamabad and Dhaka gathered heavy troops, the British urgently recruited more Indians to join the colonial army in the central and southern parts of India, and the weapons and equipment were not enough, so these Indians were equipped with backward single-shot rifles and even cold weapons, in order to keep India, the British had to fight hard!

Fortunately, the navy of the Chinese Empire, in order to conduct a decisive battle at sea with the combined expeditionary fleet of the Entente and the Central Powers, did not launch an attack on India from the sea at the same time as the ground offensive of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, otherwise it would have been enough for the British to be in a hurry.

The British hoped that the Combined Expeditionary Fleet would defeat the main naval force of the Chinese Empire, and then support India's land forces from the sea, at least the coastal areas of India would be saved.

The fleet, which had been in the minds of the British, was currently cruising in the waters northwest of Sri Lanka Island, and the size of this fleet was also unusually large, no smaller than the scale of the joint expeditionary fleet of the Entente and the Allied Powers, densely covered with a large area of sea, and most of the warships of the six main fleets of the Imperial Chinese Navy, as well as the warships drawn from the various garrison fleets, were assembled here to prepare to meet the joint expeditionary fleet.

After the Allied and Allied Joint Expeditionary Fleet sailed through the Arabian Sea, it stopped at the port of Mumbai in eastern India for two days, allowing the officers and men of the entire Combined Expeditionary Fleet to rest for a short time, and then continued to sail along the east coast of India.

The Royal Navy of the Imperial Chinese Empire was ready to choose to fight a decisive battle at sea with the United Expeditionary Fleet before its final rest and replenishment.

The Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire took out the old capital this time, 18 Dragon-class dreadnought battleships of the 6 main fleets, 12 Feng-class dreadnought battleships and 7 super dreadnought battleships from another time and space, and the 37 dreadnought battleships originally owned by the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, many of them came here and joined the decisive battle fleet.

After winning the Battle of Chittagong, the Fifth and Sixth Fleets returned to the port of Malacca with the remnants of the captured British and Indian fleets, and then came to the waters near the island of Sri Lanka to join up with the other four main fleets.

The two dreadnought battleships of the captured British Indian fleet were left behind in the port of Malacca for repairs along with the seriously damaged warships of the two fleets, and the other warships captured by the British and Indian fleets were also left in the port of Malacca.

In addition, 33 all-steel battleships of the six main fleets of the Imperial Chinese Navy, as well as 15 all-steel battleships drawn from various garrison fleets, a total of 48 all-steel battleships were also in the ranks of the decisive battle fleet.

Originally, each of the 6 main fleets had 6 all-steel battleships, but the 5th and 6th fleets each sank 1 all-steel battleship in the naval battle of Chittagong, and 1 all-steel battleship of the 5th fleet was too injured and remained in the port of Malacca, so now the 6 main fleets have only 33 all-steel battleships.

From the First Fleet to the Fourth Fleet, the all-steel battleships of the four fleets were all city-class made by the Chinese Empire itself, with a total of 24 ships, and the nine all-steel battleships of the Fifth Fleet and the Sixth Fleet participating in the decisive battle were all captured in several naval battles before, and they have been renovated and have relatively strong combat effectiveness.

The 15 all-steel battleships drawn from the garrison fleet were also the battleships captured in the previous naval battles, and the garrison fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy had more than a dozen, and the 26 all-steel battleships were captured from the enemy's navy in previous naval battles, and the 15 all-steel battleships that were withdrawn this time were all relatively strong in combat effectiveness.
