Chapter 305: The Great War of India and Burma
Pakistan is officially duli like this, as for other messy things that have nothing to do with Yang Feng, such as announcing the world, forming zhengfu, and dividing administrative regions, these are their own internal affairs, not to mention Yang Feng, the British are not interested in care, they only care about one point now, when Pakistan can send troops to the war.
If it is easy to solve the problem of soldiers, there are many Muslims in the Indian colonial army, from soldiers to officers, and even generals, after the Japanese came in, some of these people simply ran back to their hometowns, and some followed Bose or Nehru to fight for duli and freedom, and now Pakistani duli, the goal of their struggle has been achieved, and it is estimated that they will soon run to abandon the light and turn to the dark, and stand by the side of those evil colonists again.
In addition, even if it is not difficult to recruit new people, Muslims are more aggressive than Hindus, and without them in the Indian uprising, it would have become a joke to expect those Asan, but what to do if people have arms, the British themselves are very nervous, and now they all rely on air transportation from China, so Pakistan can only rely on Yang Feng.
"This is very simple, arming a million people is not a piece of cake." Yang Feng said indifferently.
It is really simple for him to arm 100,000 people now, there are still more than 200,000 Japanese weapons captured in the warehouse, the old guns that the various armies did not replace, and the ones that were not thrown away in the northeast last time, plus the Yunnan army, the Gui army, and the Sichuan army, which were replaced, there is no difficulty in making up 780,000 guns, and there is no shortage of artillery, and there may be fewer artillery, but there are definitely as many mortars, and he has a reserve of several thousand tons of Sumitomo Metal's alloy steel pipes alone, and the rest is nothing more than processing some parts.
"But it's just that this transportation is more of a headache. Now it can only be transported by air, and it is easy to say that Lhasa is nothing more than to build more airports, and the fuel can barely be enough, anyway, you can buy it from Iran, so that we can still carry oil on the return trip. Supply to Lhasa Airport, but this capacity problem is very tight. Yang Feng looked at Marquis Hope as he spoke.
Marquis Hope thought to himself, don't you just want the British government to buy another batch of Hercules transport planes, but this is not a bad thing for him, and now the first batch of 200 Hercules purchased from Lockheed has just joined the airlift, and the effect is immediately apparent, a steady stream of arms are being shipped from China, and the situation in Wavell's overstretched situation has been greatly alleviated, and the returning transport planes can also carry people. To transport the British from dangerous India to the safety of China, if there are two hundred more, to be honest, the Ministry can be airlifted to China.
"I'll contact London for this question and buy at least four hundred Hercules." Hope said with a deep groan.
Yang Feng nodded with satisfaction, another $200 million business is in hand, Kelly Johnson will be happy to die, and now Lockheed is already a well-deserved overlord in the aviation industry, crushing all other companies to death. Even predators like Boeing and Wright have to work for it. Aircraft manufacturers alone have annexed several of them, and the US anti-monopoly department has long been eyeing them, but they dare not do anything because of the mountain of Yang Feng.
Now that the problem of arms supply has been solved, the rest is easy to say, Jinnah said that Pakistan could send at least one million troops to fight against Japan, but the air force will not be able to handle it. In fact, now India's British Air Force has also been wiped out, and the Japanese army bombed several times some time ago, causing a lot of casualties, and later the twin demons purchased from China joined the battlefield to protect the sky of New Delhi. Now Pakistan needs planes, so it can only buy them from China.
Of course, there is no problem with this, who will refuse to send it to the door, it is too luxurious to match them with a double demon, and it is still okay to match the upgraded version of Thunder, now the north is playing the Great Leap Forward in aviation, even Han Fuyu has opened an aircraft factory, Yan Xishan has also opened one in Taiyuan, plus the bald guy has another one in Luoyang, and one more in Nanjing, China now has six aircraft factories.
Although only Beiping, Chongqing and Nanjing have the ability to manufacture the whole machine, and only Beiping has the ability to manufacture engines, it is still very easy for the other three to build wings, tails and shells.
In addition, Yan Xishan and Fu Zuoyi, the electrolytic aluminum project of the two horses is under construction with the help of the Germans, and it will not take long to put it into production, Yang Feng has an aluminum alloy factory in Beiping, specializing in the production of high-performance aluminum alloys, and the material problem can also be solved after it is put into production.
It's a pity that tanks can't be transported by air, otherwise it's still good to sell some tanks here.
With all the problems solved, Jinnah flew back to the temporary capital Karachi, a city near the sea that was not suitable as a capital, and now that the Japanese controlled the Indian Ocean and could attack it at any time, they were ready to build a new capital inland, which was Islamabad.
Pakistan declared duli and declared war on Japan, and the news quickly spread around the world, and it was a big surprise for the world anti-fascist forces that were struggling in despair, and of course it was nothing more, everyone knew that such a country would not have any impact on the war situation, so everyone just laughed it off.
However, Bose and Nehru's Indian puppet army could not laugh it off, and as soon as the news broke, their Muslim soldiers began to flee en masse, not only soldiers, but also officers, and even mutiny, not only the army fled, but even the Muslim civilians living in the areas under their control began to flee, and in this case, people everywhere began to flee, and vendettas between different sects intensified.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Boss Yang, after having had enough of playing in India, he returned to China with his heart and landed directly at Chongqing Airport, which is going to prepare for a big battle and send troops from Burma to open up the India-Myanmar channel in one fell swoop.
"At least four group armies, the north can't send out any more people, and now we have to form an army to join the Indian army, the new army is being formed, and it will not be able to form combat effectiveness in a short time, and this Indo-Burma operation is bound to anger the Japanese, we must ensure that we have sufficient strength to deal with the provocations that the Japanese may launch, so this time the two group armies can only rely on the Sichuan army and the Yunnan army." Yang Feng said.
This meeting was attended not only by the princes of the Sichuan army, but also by Zhu Peide, Shang Zhen, Wei Lihuang of the expeditionary force, Li Zongren of the Gui family, Long Yun of the Dian army, and several generals of the Guizhou army.
"You can still draw out a group army on the battlefield in northern Guibei, and the pressure on this side is not very great now, even if the Japanese army launches an offensive at that time, we and the Guizhou army will be enough to deal with it." Li Zongren said.
He is now relying on Yang Feng's support, and now is the time to perform.
"Then transfer Brother Zihui out." Yang Feng nodded with satisfaction, Yang Senbu should be said to be the strongest combat effectiveness in the Sichuan Army, basically at the same level as the Northern Army, and it would be safer to have him join.
"In the direction of Tibet, there is no need to transfer a whole army from the north, I can send two divisions from my side, and then transfer one division from the north." Liu Wenhui said that up to now, his troops have not participated in the war, and it is difficult to say that it is reasonable to say it if he does not express it, and Xikang has no external threat, and his 24th Army has also completed the redress, and the scale has also reached the scale of 50,000 people in three divisions and three independent brigades.
"In this case, the Sichuan army will send another army, the Yunnan army will send another army, and if you transfer an army from the north, you can make up a group army, two group armies, and I will transfer another batch of amphibious tanks, plus the expeditionary force, to ensure sufficient combat effectiveness." Yang Feng said.
The tank factory in Beiping took the infantry fighting vehicle as the prototype, or used the Tiger engine and gearbox as the power, to transform a real amphibious tank, weighing 12 tons, using 57 tank guns, enlarging the hull to make it have the ability to float, and it was easy to deal with the light tanks used by the Japanese army in Southeast Asia, which was originally prepared for the counterattack on Burma, and has now produced almost 100 units.
The plan for the counterattack on Burma was thus determined, and as for how to formulate the battle plan, this was left to Huang Baitao and his staff.
"General Yizhi, I'll have to ask you next." Yang Feng said to Zhu Peide that the Burma operation is the work of the expeditionary force, including the two newly joined group armies are also the expeditionary force sequence, as the commander of the expeditionary force, even if it is just an ornament, these procedures must be followed.
In addition, judging from the performance on the battlefield, this first-class general, who has always been regarded as a bodhisattva, is no worse than his old friend on the battlefield.
"Don't talk about this nonsense, from the end of the Northern Expedition to the present, I have been mixed up for more than ten years, I originally thought that I would live a lifetime in a daze, anyway, I don't have any ambitions, and being a first-class general is high enough, I didn't expect that now there will be a time to really make a contribution to the country, thank you." Zhu Peide said with a smile.
"Okay, but there are some things I have to explain to you first, we are not only opening the India-Myanmar channel this time, you have to establish at least two countries for me this time." Yang Feng said with a smile.
Zhu Peide was stunned for a moment, and then understood.
"Assam and Bengal?" He said tentatively, this guy is also a real old treacherous and cunning, he has been up and down in Nanjing Huanhai for more than ten years, no matter who is in power, he can be alone, and he is naturally familiar with playing this kind of yin.
Yang Feng nodded.
The two laughed like traitors in a play. (To be continued......)
