831 Burma War of Independence

Princess Xia Xiang and King Xipao spoke Burmese, and Lin Fei naturally couldn't understand it, so Lin Fei turned his head and asked the translator next to him: "What are the two of them talking about?" ”

"Report to Your Majesty, the King of Tin Robe is reproaching Princess Xia Xiang, saying that she should not deceive you."

"Very well, you go ahead and translate for me."

At this time, the king of tin robe said angrily: "The Flying Emperor is bent on helping us drive out the British, giving you so many guns and bullets, but you are secretly accumulating strength and want to confront the Flying Emperor, I don't have a daughter like you." ”

Princess Xia Xiang was very well-behaved in front of the King of Tin Pao, and when she heard her father's reproach, she immediately lowered her head, and admitted her mistake unexpectedly, looking quite cute, and the King of Tin Robe gently patted Princess Xia Xiang's head, and said with a smile: "It's good to know that it's wrong, and I will help Emperor Fei wholeheartedly in the future, do you know?" ”

Princess Xia Xiang nodded again, "My daughter promises not to cheat on the Flying Emperor again." ”

The King of Tin Robe nodded with satisfaction, and then suddenly changed to Chinese, obviously to make Lin Fei understand, "Martha, stand up, I want to say something to you." ”

Princess Xia Xiang stood up obediently, Lin Fei was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Martha is the name of Princess Xia Xiang?" ”

"Yes, we Burmese people have names and surnames, and we are used to adding some words in front of our names to indicate our identity, and women will add 'Ma' in front of them, and 'Sha' is her milk name, and her mother and I both call her that, together it is 'Martha', and as for Princess Xia Xiang, she came later."

Lin Fei laughed, "I still call her Princess Xia Xiang, the name Martha sounds too awkward." ”

Princess Xia Xiang was quite displeased with Lin Fei's words, and glared at Lin Fei hatefully, the King of Tin Robe pulled Princess Xia Xiang in front of Lin Fei, and said to Princess Xia Xiang: "Daughter, you are not young, I need to consider your marriage, after these months I have learned about Emperor Fei, I found that he is an excellent man, I decided to marry you to him." ”

"No!" Princess Xia Xiang's jade face blushed, and she screamed: "Don't, I don't want to marry Lin Fei." ”

The King of Tin Robe glared fiercely, and said angrily: "You are not allowed to mess around willfully, you can't find a better man than the Flying Emperor." ”

"But...... But Lin Fei already has a lot of concubines! ”

"A good man must have many wives, this is not strange, you have to work harder to serve the Flying Emperor, and the Flying Emperor will not snub you."

Princess Xia Xiang was extremely aggrieved, tears flowed down her eyes, she looked very pitiful, grabbed the hand of the king of the tin robe, and was about to beg coquettishly, but she didn't expect the king of the tin robe to shake her hand, "I'm going back to rest, you can serve the Flying Emperor well." ”

After the king of tin robes finished speaking, he walked out with his attendants, Princess Xia Xiang saw that her father said this, she was definitely not forced by Lin Fei, her father was sincere, Princess Xia Xiang glared at Lin Fei fiercely, and said angrily: "Lin Fei, what kind of ecstasy did you pour into my father, and you actually made my father ......"

Lin Fei made an innocent look, "I didn't do anything, I just let your father see the strength of the Huaxia Empire, and he was willing to surrender." ”

Princess Xia Xiang's heart moved, the Chinese Empire is indeed very strong, and the people are also very friendly, much better than the British, if you attach to the Chinese Empire, the future will definitely be bright.

No, you can't think like that, if our Burmese Empire wants to be independent, we must be independent, but without Lin Fei, can we be independent, or don't think about independence, and feel at ease that Huaxia is the suzerain......

Princess Xia Xiang was thinking, Lin Fei continued to speak, this time her tone was full of helplessness, "Actually, I don't want to marry you, but there is no way, the king of tin robe is an elder, and I don't want to disobey the meaning of the elders, alas, I will be wronged and wronged, suffer a big loss, marry you, you go wash up, and come to my bedroom at night." ”

Princess Xia Xiang's lungs are about to explode, what a Lin Fei, you can marry this princess, it is a blessing that you have cultivated for eight lifetimes, you even said that you were wronged and wronged, and suffered a big loss, Princess Xia Xiang snorted fiercely, turned around and left.

Lin Fei looked at the back of Princess Xia Xiang and laughed at it, teasing this Princess Xia Xiang is really interesting.

That night, Princess Xia Xiang ran to Yu Ningshuang's military camp and said that she wanted to learn the combat experience of the Blood Phoenix Special Forces, so Lin Fei sent someone to send a letter to Princess Xia Xiang, saying that holding a military camp wedding could also be considered, so that Princess Xia Xiang fled again.

The next day, Princess Xia Xiang was worried that Lin Fei would mention marriage again, so she proposed to return to Burma and fight against the British army.

Lin Fei did not tease her this time, but discussed the war plan with her, Lin Fei proposed that no matter how the war situation develops, the Chinese Empire army will not take the initiative to participate in the war, and the Chinese Empire will only secretly provide logistics support for the Burmese army.

Lin Fei also proposed that the most important thing now is to immediately raise the banner of Burma's national recovery, and then liberate an area of Burma and use it as his base.

Some areas of Myanmar are called "provinces", and some areas are called "states", and the areas called provinces are the areas with the strongest control of the Burmese dynasty at the beginning, and they are also the areas with the strongest British rule today, while the areas called "states" are somewhat similar to ethnic minority autonomous regions, and the British control is relatively weak.

If the Burmese army can take down a province, it will undoubtedly be a milestone for the entire war of independence, because in this way, the British army in the whole of Burma will be shaken and will boost the morale of the Burmese people.

As for which province to attack, Lin Fei believes that attacking Bago Province is the best choice, because the base of the Burmese Imperial Organization is in Kayin State, which is the closest to Bago Province, and Bago Province is also closest to Yangon, the center of British rule.

Lin Fei then asked Princess Xia Xiang to return to Kayin State, gather the remnants, and fight the British army, the British army has been fighting in Kayin State for several months at this time, the losses are relatively large, and the morale of the army is low, if Princess Xia Xiang takes the opportunity to strike, it is bound to deal a heavy blow to the British army.

Princess Xia Xiang obeyed Lin Fei's order and returned to Kayin State, where she gathered her old troops and attacked the British army, while the Chinese Empire secretly delivered ammunition to Princess Xia Xiang's troops.

On December 15, 1903, Princess Xia Xiang announced that the Burmese Empire was officially restored, and King Xipao was crowned as the Emperor of the Burmese Empire.

Princess Xia Xiang led the troops to launch a guerrilla war in Kayin State, with the help of the Chinese Empire, successive victories, the British were beaten passively everywhere, by February 1904, the British army had been compressed in several towns in Kayin State, during this period, the British also realized that the Chinese Empire was secretly helping the Burmese army, and protested to Lin Fei several times, but Lin Fei denied it.

During the war between Britain and Burma, several new weapons appeared, and Britain seems to have used Burma as a testing ground for weapons and equipment, and applied a series of new weapons to the battlefield.

The first application is the tactical airship, the so-called "tactical airship", is the name given by Lin Fei to this kind of airship, Lin Fei used the airship before, the flight altitude is large, the bomb throwing accuracy is average, can only be used for strategic bombing on the battlefield, for example, bombing the Japanese mainland, bombing a large area of the enemy's positions, if you want to bomb a certain fortress, a certain building, the airship can do nothing.

The brand-new airship used by the British army has a low flight altitude and is equipped with a special bomb dropper, which can complete precision bombing, especially the airship is equipped with a large number of cannons and machine guns, which can provide tactical support to the ground troops, and this weapon has given the Burmese army heavy casualties.

The reason why this kind of airship can appear is entirely because of the airship technology that Lin Fei conveyed to the British, especially the helium production technology, after the British made helium, mixed helium with air, and then controlled the temperature of the mixed gas, successfully realizing the rapid lifting of the airship.

What Lin Fei didn't expect was that the airship technology delivered by Lin Fei actually promoted the British exploration of oil in the Middle East!

It turned out that Lin Fei's helium production technology was based on oil and natural gas, and the helium in it was obtained by refining oil and natural gas, so Britain began to search for oil and natural gas in large quantities.

Why can Britain focus on the Middle East, because at this time the world's oil exploration theory has been relatively mature, geologists have found that where there is oil, there are bays, so they began to look for bays around the world, and the Persian Gulf soon entered the British field of vision.

Once the British discovered that there were rich oil reserves in the Middle East, Britain, France, Germany, and Russia, which were closest to the Middle East, would pounce on them like sharks that had seen blood, and the same was true for the United States, although the United States was in North America, but from North America to the Middle East, it was much closer than Lin Fei from Asia.

Lin Fei knew that he had to speed up the pace of conquering Burma and India, and if it was too late, the world's oil center would be controlled by Western countries.

At this time, Germany and Russia have already come up with their own artillery chariots, and Britain, as an old industrial power, cannot not come up with artillery chariots.

After Britain took out the artillery chariot, it was immediately transported to the Burma battlefield, for the Burmese army of Princess Xia Xiang, the artillery chariot is much more terrible than the airship, although the airship flies in the sky, but as long as the airship hides under the tree when the airship comes, the airship can not see people, but the artillery chariot, no matter where the person is hidden, may be blown to pieces.

The British artillery tanks are even equipped with rocket launchers, which are more powerful, and the defense of the artillery tanks is also extremely terrifying, and the Burmese army has no anti-armor weapons and has nothing to do with the artillery tanks.

Princess Xia Xiang can only ask Lin Fei for help, we need a batch of anti-chariot weapons, otherwise we will be wiped out by the British.
