Chapter 874: Indian War Zone
In the war room of the General Headquarters of the Chinese Coalition Forces in the Florida Theater, the lights were bright. In the center of the war room was a large sand table, surrounded by staff officers. Some of them belonged to the Wehrmacht, some belonged to the vassal army, and some belonged to the vassal army, and their origins were different. But now they are all busy with the deduction of a war. One by one, the operational staff officers carefully moved the small red and blue flags symbolizing the strength of the two sides, and one by one the operational staff officers were busy calculating with formulas......
"Chief of Staff, the expected results for the second week are out." A lieutenant colonel staff officer walked up to Gao Jing, who was sitting on the side, and handed him a piece of official paper with data written on it.
Gao Jing looked down and handed the paper to Yin Changheng, the deputy chief of staff who was sitting next to him.
"You see, the losses of bombers and transport aircraft in the second week were 55% lower than in the first week."
Yin Changheng is also a rising star in the National Defense Force, a native of Shengping Town, Peng County, Sichuan. Graduated from the Wuhan Infantry Command College, he rose to prominence under Zhao Erfeng, the former commander of the Sichuan-Yunnan Frontier Military Region, and the upward momentum has been very high in recent years. Unlike people like Gao Jing who have a background behind him, Yin Changheng is a seed who is really favored by the above.
Yin Changheng carefully looked at the simulated battle results statistics, and then took a look at the US fighters in the past two weeks, and then looked at the 'war potential' of the US military in the following days.
"Our losses in the first week were really big, but to see the losses of the Americans, they also lost a lot. By the end of the second week, you see. They won't be able to hold on. At most, in the third week, they will lose air supremacy. A plane that can completely beat the Yankees in a month does not dare to go into the sky. Chief of Staff, let the War Department continue to deduce the results of the third week. ”
"Our deductions are done exactly according to the standards. It's not a fraud. If you really get it to the operational meeting with solid evidence, Commander-in-Chief Liu and the commanders of the various armies will not be able to see it. ”
A war exercise cannot be completed in a moment and a half. Even with the results of the first and second weeks, the third week took six or seven hours. It was still the lieutenant colonel staff officer who handed Gao Jing a piece of paper again. Gao Jing read it and then handed the paper to Yin Changheng.
"The results of this week's deduction are extremely favorable, and there is a high probability that the task will be completed in the third week. You see, the losses of this bomber are already very small. This shows that the air power of the Americans has been exhausted by our side and is no longer capable of threatening any air operations of our army. ”
"So, are we going to move on to the fourth week?" Yin Changheng asked.
"Of course, why not. There's still a day to go tomorrow. But that's all for today. Everyone helped for three and a half days, rested in the afternoon, and worked for another half day tomorrow. Now let's all go back and rest. ”
With Gao Jing's order, the staff officers immediately became busy again, but with laughter. They packed up their notes, sorted out their tools and maps, sorted out their rulers and rules, opened the thick curtains, and opened the door to the war room. The sun was shining brightly.
……
Liu Xian drove directly from Australia to North America, and only one aircraft carrier battle formation was accompanied by him, and the other two remained in Australia. Together with the naval forces left behind on the mainland, they will be the main force in the next naval battle in the Indian Ocean.
At the same time as the Chinese forces attacked Australia and North America. The Indian battlefield is also progressing very well. China's policy toward India is to recognize the independence of Indian states and the legitimacy of India's indigenous princes. For example, in the northwestern part of India, where the United States of Pakistan was first captured by the National Defense Forces and the Afghan coalition, China has propped up a Sikh kingdom in the north.
It's one thing that sets up a sign. The Sikh descendants found were descendants of Karak Singh, the eldest son of Ranjit Singh. The Sikhs, who have a relatively strong personality, are given a chance to regain their independence after many years of exile and face the descendants of Karak Singh. Bow down to orders, and there is no longer the resistance and sinister attitude towards Karaksinger himself.
78 years ago, in 1839. Ranjit Singh died. Immediately after his death, the Sikh Empire fell into chaos. The legal heir of Ranjit Singh, his son Karak Singh was persona non grata, was stripped of his rights in just a few months, and later died mysteriously in prison. It is widely believed that he was poisoned. Karaksingh's son, Nanihar Kanvar Singh, ascended to the throne after his father was poisoned, but it is clear that his throne is very illusory. Just a few months later, he also died mysteriously. Legend has it that he was crushed to death by a falling arch on his way back from his father's funeral.
The Sikhs, who had ceded a fairly powerful kingdom to the British through their own civil strife, are now bound to cherish this hard-won opportunity.
Of course, all Indians also clearly saw the fate of the new kingdom of Jammu [Kashmir]. This kingdom established by the rebellion of the betrayal of the Sikh kingdom has always been a dog raised by the British, and even during the Raven War, the founder of the new kingdom of Jammu was Gulab. In May 1841, he organized an invading army composed of Jammu, Ladakh and Baltistanis to invade Ali in three directions. The head of the invading army, Zolawal. Singh led his army to advance all the way to the vicinity of Mapanyongcuo before being met by the local Tibetan army. Due to the cold weather, the offensive of the invading army began to slow down, and by the end of the year, the Tibetan local army completed the assembly and entered the Mayumu Pass under the leadership of Kalun Tse Mat Dorjee, and on December 12, 1841, the Tibetan army met the invading army of Doyu Jammu near Mapanyongcuo, and after two days of fierce fighting, Zolawal. Singh was killed by the Tibetan army, and the Jammu army collapsed. Taking advantage of the victory, the Tibetan army pursued and regained the Ali region and advanced to the vicinity of Leh with the support of the Ladakhs. Singh immediately dispatched Harry. Chand led 6,000 men to Ladakh [an indigenous kingdom of Kashmir, a vassal state of China-Tibet that had been destroyed by the Sikh kingdom] to suppress the local uprising and attack the Tibetan army. The two sides finally held off at the border, in September 1842. The two sides negotiated and signed an agreement stipulating that the traditional boundary between Ladakh and Tibet should be followed. The two sides were to hold the border, and the New Kingdom of Jammu, which was also the Grand Duchy of Jammu, was granted commercial privileges to monopolize the cashmere trade through treaties. This trade was one of the most developed trade routes at the time. Singh's later statehood and military expansion provided considerable financial support.
Now China has not hesitated to include Kashmir in its territory. And will be Gulab. Singh's descendants were completely imprisoned and all their property was completely confiscated. That's Chi Guoguo's revenge.
Less than a month and a half after the start of the Indian War, the Sikh Kingdom had just been restored, and the formal partition treaty between the two sides had been signed.
Although China's eating appearance is a little greedy, this style of clearly seeking benefits has made more India's declining princes believe in China's previously publicized policy towards India.
The British, of course, controlled the power of India, and the vast majority of the power of the army was firmly in the hands of the British. However, many Indian princes who have lost their military power still have a great influence on the Indian people. According to the statistics of the Military Intelligence Bureau, in the whole of British India, there are a total of 525 large and small princes who control more than 1/3 of the land in India, they are subject to the British colonial government, sign various treaties with it, and the power is in the hands of the British garrison, the prince only maintains his rule in name, and has no right to contact other princely states or foreign countries externally, and enjoys great autonomy internally. He is the despotic ruler of the people of the state. The Indians at the bottom have the power of life and death, and although they do not have reliable force, they all have a lot of wealth and live in poverty and luxury.
Liu Xian naturally divided the whole of India. It would be ridiculous to let them form small states, but he would not want all the princely states of India to be independent. Many princely states do not even have a county. However, some princely states were able to top several provinces of the Han region.
In the south of Pakistan, Liu Siam formed a federation of Pakistan. The form of government is copied from the UAE, which covers an area of 300,000 square kilometers. It has a population of over 20 million. Liu Xian also asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to contact Ahmet IV of Istanbul and ask him to confer the title of emir on more than a dozen indigenous princes and emirs in the Federation of Pakistan as the leader of the heavenly world. All of these indigenous princes believed in the Green Religion, and each of them was overjoyed by this Chinese act.
In the whole of India, except for Pakistan and Bangladesh, which belong to the Green Christians, the rest are all Hindu communities. Among them, Hyderabad, Mysore, Indore, Travancol, Junagit and other princely states not only have a heavy imprint in the history of India, but also have a large area and a large population. The whole of India Liu Xian intends to divide at least fifteen more countries to completely eliminate the possibility of India becoming a threat to the southwest of China.
Facts have proved that it is precisely because of the good establishment of the 'signboard' on the Chinese side that it is very suitable to scratch the itch of this group of Indian princes who have lost their power, and under their influence, the attitude of the entire Indian people towards this war with China is generally not positive.
The MIA has long been in contact with India's indigenous princes, and has also snapped some of India's violent gempers. Liu Xian's attitude towards the latter is very friendly, which is completely different from his attitude towards the current leaders of the Congress party. These are the people who will also be going to build a nation, between the states of India. Even if it is the group of soft eggs that he doesn't like to see, Liu Xian will leave a place for them to perform, and maybe decades later, people will still be able to see an acrobatic military parade with Indian characteristics. That's almost the Spring Festival Gala!
By the time Liu Xian passed through the Panama Canal with the fleet, more than half a month had passed. The war situation in India has developed further, and the jewel in the British crown has a great tendency to collapse. Because, in the past half a month that Emperor Liu 'drove his own expedition' to North America, Calcutta, one of India's few important towns, still fell into the hands of the Chinese Defense Forces.
In the whole battle, the Chinese side invested a total of more than 200,000 troops, while the British invested four divisions of British GIs, 3,000 Gurkha mercenaries, and nearly 500,000 Indian colonial troops. A month of fierce fighting surrounded Calcutta with 7,800,000 troops on both sides, which ended in the complete defeat of the Anglo-Indian army.
300,000 Indians marched into the prisoner-of-war camps set up by the Wehrmacht, and the British took nearly 15,000 prisoners. More than 500 British camel planes were destroyed in the whole campaign, accounting for 40% of the British air force in India. More than 300 British tanks and armored vehicles were captured and destroyed, more than 700 artillery pieces and more than 1,000 trucks and tractors of various types were captured. A Battle of Calcutta emptied the entire British mechanized force in India.
Less than 100,000 men of the Anglo-Indian remnants fled to Jamshedpur. The loss of more than 400,000 Anglo-Indian troops caused a shock throughout India.
Ren was the most loyal Indians to the British, and he was keenly aware of the ...... of British rule in India. It didn't last long.
The British Empire still had a million regular troops, but even the million-strong British Empire could not send a single reinforcement to India. The defeat at the Battle of Calcutta shook the hearts of the people not only in India, but also in London. Only a little over 20,000 British soldiers from four divisions ran to Jamshedpur. How many lives does the British Empire have to fill in to defend an India?
The hearts and minds of Indians are no longer on the side of the British. London could not have allowed the Indian states to become independent states, and that alone would have made it impossible for the indigenous princes of India to fall back to the British Empire. With no basis for domination gone, can the army of the British Empire still fight with India, thousands of miles away, and the Chinese on the border?
Therefore, it is impossible for Britain to send reinforcements to India.
Even though India is a vital link in the British Empire's maintenance of its Western hegemony, and the benefits generated by India account for a large share of the annual financial revenue of the entire British Empire, compared with the survival of the British Empire, India, the most brilliant jewel in the crown of the British Queen, has become less cherished.
It can be said that the process of the Indian theater of operations has been smoother than Liu Xian imagined. He also thought that the British would take advantage of India's vast territory to drive thousands of Indians to die in waves, so as to block the footsteps of the Wehrmacht, and also add a blood feud between China and India. But in a Calcutta, the British actually desperately mobilized 500,000 colonial troops, they were crazy.
The saying in the West is very true, if God wants to destroy it, he must first make it crazy. The British are just crazy. That's why they let 500,000 Indian colonial troops guard Calcutta, transfer more than half of India's planes and one or two thousand cannons, and transfer almost all of the mechanized forces of the British army in India. The entire British army in India is only more than 100,000 people, and the British used four divisions of military strength in the Battle of Calcutta. (To be continued.) )
