Chapter 892: The First Shot of Accidents

On June 25, 1912, after the Chinese Empire declared war with the 11 countries of the League of Nations, the two sides did not immediately break out a major war, but began to send additional troops to the areas where they were preparing to fight, and it was not until July 10 that the first shots of this world-class war were fired.

However, the first place where the war started was unexpected by the outside world, and did not take place in the Russian Ural Mountains, the Japanese islands, the border between the Chinese Empire and India, the border between the Chinese Empire and Canada, and the colonies of the Chinese Empire in Africa, these five places where the outside world thought that a major war would inevitably break out.

At 8 o'clock on July 10, 1912, the Ottoman Turkish Empire mobilized 32 divisions of land forces and more than 100 new fighters, as well as an Ottoman Turkish naval fleet, including 4 super dreadnought battleships and 1 dreadnought, to launch an all-round attack on the Middle East Special Administrative Region of the Chinese Empire, that is, the Kuwait region, from the sea, land and air.

The Middle East Special Administrative Region of the Chinese Empire was originally ceded by the Ottoman Turkish Empire after the end of the last war of the Chinese Empire, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire has always hoped to have the opportunity to recover the Kuwait region, especially after the discovery of an amazing reserve of oil fields in the Kuwait region, the Ottoman Turkish Empire looked at the Kuwait region, and it was even more salivating, and its eyes had turned red.

This time the Ottoman Turkish Empire as one of the 11 countries of the League of Nations, after declaring war on the Chinese Empire, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was determined to recover the Kuwait region as soon as possible, and the Chinese Empire has built oil fields in the Kuwait region, although the oil wells in the oil field have not been built much, but the daily crude oil production of the entire Kuwait region has reached 250,000 barrels, and the oil fields of Kuwait are simply a hen that lays golden eggs, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire is taking this opportunity. Bring back this hen that lays golden eggs.

The Ottoman Turkish Empire launched a sudden attack on the Middle East Special Administrative Region of the Chinese Empire, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire did not inform the other 10 countries of the League of Nations beforehand, the Middle East Special Administrative Region of the Chinese Empire can be described as isolated overseas, and the land side is all surrounded by the Iraqi region and Saudi Arabia of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and according to the intelligence of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Kuwait region of the Chinese Empire is not much garrison, so the Ottoman Turkish Empire should only recover the Kuwait region, It was an appetizer before the war between the League of Nations and the Chinese Empire, thinking that it would be very easy to recover the Kuwaiti region.

Unfortunately, the progress of the war did not go as the Ottoman Empire had hoped, and at the beginning of the war, the Ottoman Turkish Empire's army, navy, and air force encountered great difficulties.

Although the Middle East Special Administrative Region of the Chinese Empire is isolated overseas, the Ministry of Defense of the Chinese Empire attaches great importance to the Middle East Special Administrative Region, and after all, the Middle East Special Administrative Region has amazing reserves of oil, and after the establishment of the Middle East Special Administrative Region, the Ministry of Defense of the Chinese Empire handed over the main defense work of this region to the Royal Marines of the Chinese Empire.

The Royal Marines of the Chinese Empire sent one division of troops to garrison the Middle East Special Administrative Region, and after the sinking of the Japanese fishing boat, the Ministry of Defense felt that the war was approaching day by day, and transferred two divisions of the Marine Corps to the Middle East Special Administrative Region, so that the defenders of the Middle East Special Administrative Region Army reached more than 120,000 people, and the entire Second Army of the Royal Marine Corps of the Chinese Empire entered the Kuwait region.

In addition, there are two flying combat groups of the Royal Air Force of the Imperial Chinese Empire equipped with new Falcon fighters and one flying bombing group equipped with vulture dive bombers and Goshawk horizontal bombers stationed in the Middle East Special Administrative Region, and in the Middle East Special Administrative Region, there is also a Kuwaiti garrison fleet of the Royal Navy.

One flight group of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire has six flight squadrons, each flight squadron has 12 fighters under its jurisdiction, and the six flight groups form one flight wing.

The Kuwait garrison fleet of the Royal Chinese Navy has 1 super dreadnought battleship, 3 dreadnought battleships, 2 large fast armored cruisers, 2 medium armored cruisers, 8 fast protection cruisers, 8 destroyers, 8 submarines and 16 torpedo boats.

Among them, the 4 capital battleships were captured by the Royal Navy of the Chinese Imperial Navy, namely 1 Orion-class super dreadnought, 2 Bellerophon-class dreadnought-class battleships, and 1 St. Vincent-class dreadnought-class battleship.

In Kuwait City, the administrative capital of the Middle East Special Administrative Region of the Chinese Empire, in the military headquarters of the Second Army of the Royal Marine Corps, Chen Chengyu, commander of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Imperial Air Force in the Middle East Special Administrative Region, said to Zhang Weimin, commander of the Second Marine Corps: "Commander Zhang, our Royal Air Force has shot down 46 fighters of the Ottoman Turkish Air Force in two directions, and we have only lost 3 Falcon fighters. Carry out an aerial suppression attack on the charging enemy. ”

Zhang Weimin said with a smile: "The front-line troops have reported that the Ottoman Turkish Empire ground forces that launched an attack from the direction of Iraq and Saudi Arabia have suffered carpet bombing from the Royal Air Force, which has made our defense line in both directions easy so far, under the attack of the Royal Air Force, there are not many enemies who can get close to our forward positions at all, I have to thank you Air Force!" ”

Chen Chengyu shook his head and said: "Commander Zhang, you can see the outside world if you say so, it is the duty of our Royal Air Force to defend the sky of the empire, but this time the Ottoman Turkish Empire suddenly launched an attack on our Middle East Special Administrative Region, which is a bit surprising, I think the earliest place to fight should be the Ural Mountains of Russia!" ”

At this time, Ma Lianzhi, the commander of the Kuwaiti garrison fleet of the Royal Navy, said with a sigh: "I really didn't expect that the place where the first shot was fired in this war was actually us, and now our Kuwait garrison fleet has become the first Royal Navy fleet to sink enemy warships in this war." ”

Zhang Weimin, commander of the Second Marine Corps, immediately asked Ma Lianzhi: "Old Ma, what about the losses of our fleet in the exchange of fire at sea just now?" ”

Ma Lianzhi said with a smile: "The few warships we participated in the battle, without even the slightest injury, sank 1 fast protection cruiser and 1 destroyer of the Ottoman Turkish Navy, giving our Royal Navy a good start, but the radar has already discovered a huge Ottoman Turkish Navy, and the previous naval battle can only be regarded as an appetizer, and the feast is about to be served." ”

Then Zhang Weimin solemnly said to Chen Chengyu, commander of the Royal Air Force in the Middle East Special Administrative Region, and Ma Lianzhi, commander of the Kuwait garrison fleet of the Royal Navy: "The Ministry of Defense has learned that the Ottoman Turkish Empire has launched a full-scale attack on our Middle East Special Administrative Region, and the Ministry of Defense has ordered our navy, land and air forces stationed in the Middle East Special Administrative Region to defend the entire Middle East Special Administrative Region and the people of the empire at all costs. ”

Chen Chengyu and Ma Lianzhi both nodded, even without the order of the Ministry of National Defense, the navy, land and air forces stationed in the Middle East Special Administrative Region would not give up this enclave of the Chinese Empire, and the duties of the military did not allow them to do so.

Then the expression on Zhang Weimin's face returned to relaxation, "At present, we have not received any information that the armies of other countries have entered the territory of Ottoman Turkey, if we rely on Ottoman Turkey's own army alone, even if we have no reinforcements in the Middle East Special Administrative Region, it will be difficult for the Ottoman Turkish Empire to gnaw our hard bone in a short time." ”

Chen Chengyu said at this time: "Commander Zhang, don't be careless, even if the Ottoman Turkish Empire alone, the army units that can be used are millions, and in the entire Middle East Special Administrative Region, the ground force is only your Royal Marine Corps Second Army. ”

Zhang Weimin said with a smile: "I'm careful!" However, the Middle East Special Administrative Region is not the only unit of our Royal Marine Corps, the Second Army! ”

Chen Chengyu and Ma Lianzhi both showed puzzled expressions at this time, "Commander Zhang, when will another army come to us?" ”

"Hehe, no other troops have arrived in the Middle East Special Administrative Region at the moment, but don't forget, we still have a police force here."

"Police force? Commander Zhang, do you mean the police who maintain law and order in peacetime? ”

"It's those policemen, don't underestimate those policemen, basically they are veterans, now all the police in the Middle East Special Administrative Region have been temporarily organized into the Middle East garrison in accordance with the order of the Ministry of National Defense, and the current provisional Middle East garrison division has begun to recruit and adjust the army reservists of the Middle East Special Administrative Region on a large scale, maybe in a few days, we will have tens of thousands of troops in our hands."

Thanks to the immigration policy of the Chinese Empire, the Chinese population in the Middle East Special Administrative Region has exceeded 1 million, and because of the oil fields, the proportion of young and middle-aged people in these 1 million people is very high, which also allows the provisional Middle East garrison division that is being established to have sufficient soldiers.

In the Qianqing Palace of the Forbidden City in Beijing, the capital of the Chinese Empire, Lin Daxin snorted coldly at Li Kun, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and Meng Fanwei, director of the CIA, and said: "The imperial treasury allocates a lot of funds to your two intelligence departments every year, and I also privately subsidize a lot of funds for your two intelligence units. ”

Li Kun and Meng Fanwei couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly, Li Kun first sighed and said: "Your Majesty is angry, this time it is indeed a mistake of our military intelligence bureau, the Ottoman Turkish Empire is too hidden this time, and our military intelligence bureau is in the intelligence network of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and I really haven't gotten any news at all." ”

Meng Fanwei then said helplessly: "Our CIA is also very responsible this time, but just like Director Li Kun said, the Ottoman Turkish Empire is too hidden, and if our CIA hadn't received a notice from the Ministry of National Defense, we wouldn't have known that the Ottoman Turkish Empire had launched a large-scale attack on the Middle East Special Administrative Region." ”

At this time, Defense Minister Wu Peifu, who was standing on the side, said: "Your Majesty, this sudden attack by the Ottoman Turkish Empire on the Middle East Special Administrative Region is absolutely deliberate, from the current point of view, the Ottoman Turkish Empire may be attacking the Middle East Special Administrative Region, and even the other countries of the League of Nations have not been notified, coupled with the Ottoman Turkish Empire's deliberate concealment of the interior, it is normal for the intelligence department not to get the news, after all, the Ottoman Turkish Empire is not the main target of our intelligence department. ”

Lin Daxin rubbed his temples, and then said to Li Kun, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and Meng Fanwei, director of the CIA: "Now that our Chinese Empire has declared war on the 11 countries of the League of Nations, you also know who the 11 countries are and what their strength is!" Therefore, we must not be careless in this war, otherwise the consequences will not be borne by our entire Chinese nation, and your intelligence departments must do their best during the war, and perhaps one piece of your intelligence can save the lives of thousands of soldiers, and even one piece of intelligence can change the outcome of the entire war! ”

Li Kun, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and Meng Fanwei, director of the Central Intelligence Bureau, couldn't help but show a trace of shame on their faces, and then patted their chests and assured Lin Daxin that their intelligence department would definitely avoid similar mistakes in the future.

Lin Daxin turned to Wu Peifu and asked, "What is the current situation in the Middle East Special Administrative Region?" ”

Wu Peifu said: "Your Majesty can rest assured that the Second Army of the Royal Marine Corps still controls the fortifications along the border, and the Royal Air Force stationed in the Middle East Special Administrative Region has severely damaged the invading Ottoman Turkish Air Force, and the Middle East Special Administrative Region should have no problems for the time being." ”

After a pause, Wu Peifu continued: "In addition, the Ministry of Defense has ordered the police force of the Middle East Special Administrative Region to requisition and transfer army reservists in the jurisdiction to form a temporary Middle East garrison to make up for the shortage of the Second Army of the Royal Marine Corps. ”

Lin Daxin frowned and said: "The key is to send reinforcements to the Middle East Special Administrative Region as soon as possible, once the Ottoman Turkish Empire uses all its strength, it is difficult to hold Kuwait's big oil fields with only the existing military strength of the Middle East Special Administrative Region." ”

Wu Peifu nodded and said: "The Ministry of National Defense has mobilized a large number of ocean-going ships and is ready to send the 25th Field Army to the Middle East Special Administrative Region first. ”

Lin Daxin touched his chin and said: "We must send enough escort fleets, the 25th Field Army is likely to be intercepted by the enemy's naval fleet, by the way, what is the current situation of the Kuwaiti garrison fleet?" ”

"Your Majesty, the Royal Navy is ready to send a main fleet to escort the 25th Field Army to the Middle East Special Administrative Region, and the Kuwaiti garrison fleet is currently facing off with a fleet of the Ottoman Turkish Navy in the Persian Gulf." (To be continued.) )
