Chapter 176: Cleaning up the Indian Ocean Fleet of Moths
Huang Cheng counted his strength, more than seventy percent of the soldiers in the 200,000 army were willing to follow him, which means that nearly 150,000 troops would rebel with him, and most of the remaining 50,000 were local troops stationed in the area north of the Ganges.
At the beginning, Qin Yu had 300,000 troops stationed in the southwest region, including Nanhai Province and the Ming and Han regions, of which 150,000 were stationed in Nanhai Province and the Ming and Han regions, 100,000 were in Yunnan Province, and the rest were north of the Ganges. Thirty of the fifty tanks were in Nanhai Province, and the rest were in Yunnan Province.
Now Huang Cheng's biggest headache is the population problem, most of the people in Nanhai Province are indigenous Indians, and only less than one-tenth of the peasants who have migrated from within the empire, and the army will be severely insufficient, so they can only rely on the support of Britain in India.
Yunnan Province, Tang Jiyao never left Yunnan Province at all, just to confuse Huang Chengcai went to Gui Province and came back, originally he wanted to take advantage of Huang Cheng's absence to serve those rebels, but the order of the military department did not allow him to do so, and deliberately released Huang Cheng back.
"There will be something big happening in the empire, is Your Majesty trying to make an example of the monkeys or trying to lure out those clowns who jump off the beam, why don't some people take the Constitution in their eyes? Separatists deserve to die, for whatever reason. β
No matter who splits the territory of the empire is so dead, this is clearly written in the imperial constitution, even if Huang Cheng is the first group of elders to follow Qin Yu, he will definitely die.
Most of the soldiers of the Southwest Military Region were transferred to fight in Tsarist Russia, but some of them were in Yunnan Province, and they were very angry when they saw that the territory they had worked so hard to open up was about to be divided, and they wanted to go to war with their anger.
The 100,000 troops in Yunnan Province have built military defense facilities such as trenches and steel wire fences in the Ming and Han dynasties, and a number of new weapons have also arrived here, that is, the anti-tank rifle jointly developed by China and Germany to deal with tanks, which is named the 'HD-1913 type' anti-tank rifle, referred to as the HD anti-tank rifle. It is an improved version of the Mauser 1918 "T-shape", which improves the problem of too much recoil and does not break the shooter's collarbone or dislocate the shoulder.
This batch of HD anti-tank rifles was used against Huang Cheng's tank, and it was also the first time it appeared on the battlefield, so it can be said that Huang Cheng was used for testing, and several German officers followed to observe the specific number jΓΉ.

The South Bay, also known as the Bay of Bengal, was changed to the South Bay after joining the Chinese Empire, where warships such as the Tang Song and the Ryukyu patrolled.
On the "Tang and Song Dynasty", the captain Tang Qianming was the commander-in-chief of the imperial Indian Ocean Fleet, and the "Tang and Song Dynasty" was the flagship of the fleet.
"Poof...... cough cough cough ......"
Tang Qianming suddenly squirted out the tea that he had just drunk, choked on the tea, and almost didn't shed tears.
"How can there be so many, is it a mistake of the Empire, this is a fifth of the soldiers of the fleet! Anyway, let's take a look at it first, I'd like to see what rebels are in my fleet? β
Although Tang Qianming has always been patrolling the sea, he is not ignorant of Huang Cheng's movements, but he does not dare to report it indiscriminately without sufficient evidence, after all, this is the marquis of the empire, the first patriarch to follow His Majesty. But after Qin Yu sent him a secret telegram a while ago, he knew that it was true, so it was not difficult to see why Huang Cheng would desperately race people to the fleet, even if it was the cleaner of the battleship.
"Huh, I can't imagine that my deputy captain actually took refuge in Huang Cheng, even the 'Ryukyu' is like this, I have to arrest him immediately."
Tang Qianming didn't know that his deputy captain was a traitor, and if it weren't for the name in the list sent by the CIA, he couldn't believe that the person who had been with his colleagues for more than a year was a traitor.
"When the time comes to get rid of the moths, you will at once secretly give each ship a copy of these lists, and send them to another telegraph. You go and tell everyone to go to the hall for a meeting, the empire has an important task to order, and then you hear my order to come in and arrest them one by one! Tang Qianming instructed his assistant.
"Yes!"
The assistant hurriedly took the list and left, and Tang Qianming walked into the hall of the cabin with a cigarette in his mouth, and a conference table had been set up inside, and on the table was a huge map of the Indian Ocean.
After a while, all the senior officers of the 'Tang Song Dynasty' arrived, and the deputy captain also sat down next to him, looking still amiable.
"Today's meeting is for the Siemens incident, after the CIA's investigation, there are still a few moths in our fleet, but the CIA only knows that there are people but don't know the name, now I make it clear, if anyone has a share, turn himself in, the empire will be tolerant, otherwise you will know the end of corruption!"
Tang Qianming's words made everyone present hold their breath, this matter caused a stir in the empire, and the people demanded that these officers and officials be severely punished, and if they were involved, the future would be dark.
Everyone was stunned, no one spoke, you look at me, I look at you, and they didn't dare to do anything, for fear of being misunderstood.
At this time, the deputy captain broke the heavy atmosphere and said: "We should not have it on the ship, everyone has been stationed here a year ago, and the procurement of military facilities is the business of the logistics department, how can anyone be involved in Siemens?" β
"It seems that there is no more on our ship, then I can rest assured, the other ships are not clear, but the next time we land, there will be comrades from the CIA to investigate, you will cooperate a lot!" Tang Qianming nodded.
"Bang!"
The two doors of the hall were kicked open at the same time, and two teams of well-equipped naval soldiers rushed in, pointing their guns at everyone present, including Tang Qianming.
"Don't move, be investigated! Search, unload their guns! One of the leading soldiers took out the CIA's ID card and shook it and shouted.
Everyone didn't dare to make a sound, so they quietly watched their guns being unloaded and taken away, and no one dared to scold.
"Click! Click! Click! β
Several soldiers suddenly pressed several seated officers to the conference table, and the soldiers behind quickly handcuffed their hands, including the deputy captain.
The deputy captain knew that this would happen, and hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing here, can you do whatever you want?" You don't have the right to handcuff me, I'll complain about you! β
"Noise!" Tang Qianming, who was next to him, stood up and hit the deputy captain in the stomach with his elbow, and the deputy captain immediately arched himself and vomited bitterness there.
Tang Qianming pointed to the nose of the deputy captain and said, "The CIA is not qualified for me, right?" A bunch of traitors, all damned! β
"I'm not a traitor, you're wronged, I'm going to court martial to sue you, don't think I'm afraid of you if you're the captain!" The deputy captain did not panic, but shouted angrily at Tang Qianming.
Several other captured officers also wanted to say something, but they suddenly felt a pain in their necks, and they fell down in the dark, and the soldiers who had come to catch them did not know what to do, and then they had already taken out a syringe and pierced their necks, and the liquid on the syringe was quickly injected into their bodies, which was a special anesthetic.
Seeing this, the deputy captain was horrified and said, "What did you inject them? β
The soldiers didn't answer him, but dragged them to the bottom of the place where the prisoners were being held.
"Report to the commander, the rebels have been captured!"
"Go down! Leave the two to watch him! β
Tang Qianming looked at those confused officers and said: "After the investigation of the empire, these people found that they are all rebels, and Huang Cheng, the commander of the Southwest Military Region stationed in Nanhai Province, has been confirmed as a rebel, stealing and selling imperial military secrets, trying to split Nanhai Province, and all those arrested just now are his minions!" β
Wow, everyone was very shocked, at this time, there was a rebellion, or the patriarch, I couldn't believe it.
"One-fifth of the people in the fleet are traitors, and they have taken refuge in Huang Cheng, my deputy captain, why did you betray the empire, you should know the fate of betraying the empire!" Tang Qianming asked sharply.
The deputy captain suddenly raised his head and laughed at this time: "Hahaha, why? I joined His Majesty's army long before he could make his mark, but you, the newcomer, easily became the commander of the fleet, and I am a vice-captain! I don't accept it, why did I join earlier than you, the knowledge and ability of the navy are no worse than yours, but you became your subordinate, you just surrendered! Your Majesty has appointed a large number of you who have surrendered, but you have not much credit in the army, and you have to be angry with you everywhere to seize the position that originally belonged to us old people, and you have to be angry everywhere? β
More than half of the officers present were Wehrmacht members who had only joined after surrendering, and they were very ashamed to hear this, but this was all arranged by the Reich, and they could not refuse.
"What newcomer, old man? Majesty has never cared about this, why do you think that the old man can press the newcomer to go? Don't you still understand the criteria for employing people in the empire, if you have the ability to live, you don't have your own talents, how can the empire appoint you? Tang Qianming suddenly became angry, what a mess of newcomers and old people, "Do you know, a month ago, His Majesty personally asked me about you, and wanted to hand over the newly established South China Sea Fleet to you, ...... Alas! β
"No, how can it be like this, how can it be like this!" The co-captain held his head and wept bitterly on the ground.
Tang Qianming said to the officers present: "Whether it is a newcomer or an old man, the Imperial Personnel Department has a record, as long as you have the ability, the table will definitely not bury you, this is what His Majesty told me personally." Also, don't you think that being knighted is basically an old man? Even if the new joiners can be knighted, they are only people like Commander-in-Chief Cai and Commander-in-Chief Sa who have made great contributions to the empire, why do you only look at the surface? He deserves to be used as a gunman! β
The dispute between the old and the new has only been provoked by people with intentions in recent days, and after the military department found out, it issued a warning to these core high-ranking officers, not allowing them to have this kind of mind and not allowing them to participate, and they have been trying to solve it, but they did not expect that they have been seriously rebellious.
About half an hour later, the rest of the warships sent news that they had arrested all the traitors, so Tang Qianming breathed a sigh of relief.
