Chapter 349: Zero Casualty War

"Hey, isn't this Lord Abadis? This is an old acquaintance. "When the dripping Abadis was brought to the deck, Qi Long, the leader of the Leopard Regiment who had seen him after the last naval battle, immediately spotted him.

Abadis's face suddenly appeared embarrassed when he heard someone call his name, he didn't know Qi Long, but since people recognized him at a glance, they didn't need to think about it to know what Lu Dao was for. Kabudado, who was following him, heard that someone knew Abadis, and his face changed at that time, and anyone could think of how the people of the Chinese Empire knew him. Kabudado immediately realized that they might be in big trouble for the New Guinean nation this time.

Fang Xiaoyu walked to the deck with the escorts, and glanced coldly at the watery captives on the deck: "Separate them and interrogate them separately, I want to know which of them are the leaders as soon as possible, as well as their identities and purposes." ”

Qi Long immediately saluted and said, "Obey, Your Majesty." ”

Abadis and Kabucado both understood Chinese, and when Qi Long's words came out, the two of them changed color in unison, and they raised their heads violently and looked at the young Fang Xiaoyu.

After careful identification, they finally recognized His Majesty the Emperor, who often showed his face in newspapers around the world, and when they confirmed Fang Xiaoyu's identity, their faces were already pale.

In the last month of 904, as if God still felt that the war in the Western Continent was still not enough to shake people's hearts, in the last month of the year, an explosive news appeared again.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire held a press conference, at which it announced that the New Guinean countries had sent troops to disguise themselves as pirates to attack the imperial ships of the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, and they also presented the identities and confessions of Abadis and Kabucado, all of which could not be denied, so the Chinese Empire announced that it would sever all diplomatic exchanges with the New Guinea countries and officially declare war on them.

After receiving the news of the official declaration of war by the Chinese Empire, Busdacole I was furious, regretting that he should not have connived at Abadis, and now he is difficult to distinguish and wants to negotiate peace with the Chinese Empire, and the answer is very simple, the royal majesty of the Chinese Empire cannot be desecrated, and the majesty of the great powers cannot be desecrated, except for unconditional surrender, the Chinese Empire does not accept any form of peace talks.

Since they said that there was so much room for improvement, Busdacole I had no other way but to prepare for war. Originally, some officials in New Guinea thought that they could join the Entente bloc, which currently had a slight advantage on the battlefield, and rely on their strength to intimidate the Chinese Empire and force them to make concessions.

It's a pity that the top leaders of the Entente are not stupid, and now they are still fighting for the Chinese Empire to fall to them, who will offend such a behemoth as the Chinese Empire because of such a useless small country.

Fang Xiaoyu was very satisfied with the attitude of the Entente, and he sent a special envoy to the Saar Empire and the Nantes Empire to express the goodwill of the Chinese Empire, and sold a batch of 'Jazz' chariots specially for export to the Entente countries at a low price as a thank you, which made the two countries very satisfied.

Without any interference from external conditions, the Chinese Empire could let go of its hands and feet and repair New Guinea fiercely.

Although New Guinea issued a national mobilization order, raising the number of troops to 700,000, and at the same time they abandoned the affiliated islands and concentrated all their forces on a few large islands to fortify layer by layer, but these did not put any pressure on the imperial military, and this time they were ready to test new tactics and accumulate experience for joining the world war in the future.

The navy of New Guinea has always been very weak, and it is simply unable to compete with the navy of the Chinese Empire, and as soon as war is declared, they hide in the port of Digur, relying on the protection of coastal batteries, and do not dare to go to war at all, and give up sea supremacy.

Seeing that the New Guinean countries had taken the initiative to abandon a large number of small islands in order to prevent the shelling of the warships of the superior navy of the Chinese Empire, they immediately possessed warships and adopted an encirclement posture against the New Guinea countries from the sea.

The naval fleet, in conjunction with the Marines, occupied a large number of abandoned islands, and they began to build forward bases and stockpiles on several large islands near the large islands of New Guinea, and the engineering units began to build field airfields.

Although Busdacole I thought he had taken all precautions, he miscalculated the range of the guns of the Imperial Eastern Ocean Fleet, and the range of the guns of the Imperial Chinese Navy, which used the new charge, was not known to the small countries that were not well informed.

In the whole of New Guinea, except for the island of New Guinea, the other islands were still too small, even those that were considered impossible for naval artillery by Busdakol I. When the battleships and cruisers on the sea lined up and fired large-caliber shells at the islands that dotted the army lines, they understood what a navy was.

Under the continuous bombardment of heavy artillery, the troops defending the island had no resistance at all, and no matter how solid the land fortifications were, they encountered 305 mm caliber shells with TNT charges, which were like paper paste.

Under such heavy shelling, there was no need for the marines to send troops to land, the defenders of New Guinea had already suffered heavy casualties, and by the time the landing force landed on the island, the other side had either been killed and wounded, or had surrendered under a white flag.

Within a week, the Chinese Empire occupied all of New Guinea's territory except for the island of New Guinea with zero casualties, leaving the Western Continent's military experts in a state of disgrace because they predicted how long it would take for the Chinese Empire to win a landing war island by island.

Even the weapons experts of the Western Continent couldn't figure out how the artillery of the Chinese Empire could be so powerful and have such a long range. Originally, they had spent a lot of gold on the recipe for the colloidal explosives of the Chinese Empire, but now they realized that what they had bought was still a obsolete product of the Chinese Empire.

The Chinese Empire surprised them far more than that, and the island of New Guinea, besieged by many others, could not hold out for long.

As early as the beginning of the declaration of war, Busdacole I realized the opponent's naval superiority, because he deployed a large amount of supplies and wealth, including most of the army, to the center of the island of New Guinea as much as possible to avoid the opponent's naval guns, and Busdacole I proved to be very wise.

After settling the other islands, the Eastern Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Empire was very close to the waters near the island of New Guinea.

Thanks to the powerful naval fire, all the targets within fifteen kilometers off the coast of New Guinea were devastated, and even the capital port of Digul, which was equipped with a fleet and a large number of shore defense guns, was bombed into ruins after only two days.

Listening to the incessant shelling in the distance, Busdacole I breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the country of New Guinea still retains a large amount of vitality, and only its own army relies on the familiar terrain on the island to fight with the other side, and believes that the Chinese Empire will eventually make concessions.

As long as he could surrender conditionally and keep his throne, Busdakol I didn't care about ceding some more islands, but unfortunately the truth was not as rosy as he imagined.

When naval guns destroyed all valuable targets along the coast, the air force came back to the scene. The Kunpeng 1 bomber, carrying a large number of white phosphorus incendiary bombs, flew into the interior of the island of New Guinea and launched an air raid on the city of Godabri, which was used by Busdacole I to hoard supplies.

The New Guinean Army, which did not have the slightest preparation, was at a loss when it saw that the Chinese Air Force was in the air, and had no idea of air defense, in fact, even if they wanted to conduct an air defense operation, they had no weapons available at all.

In the unobstructed sky, more than 200 bombers of the three wings of the Chinese Air Force unscrupulously took turns to drop bombs at low altitudes, and one after another white phosphorus incendiary bombs were accurately dropped into various warehouses, barracks, and even gathering areas.

The city of Gothabry burned for a day and a night, and the entire city, along with the warehouses and barracks in the suburbs, was burned to the ground, and the soldiers and civilians of New Guinea were killed and wounded.

In the following days, the bomber unit made several sorties and carried out large-scale bombing of several cities on the island that could not be attacked by naval guns, but because the cost of white phosphorus bombs was too high and there were not too many valuable targets, the subsequent bombing was carried out with ordinary bombs.

In almost desperation, and before the Chinese Imperial Marines could carry out a landing operation, Busdakol I had already announced his unconditional surrender.

This almost child's play of zero casualties showed the world the strong military strength of the Chinese Empire, and also allowed other countries to see the strength of the air force and navy, and this war directly led to the national policy of investing a lot of money in the development of the navy and air force after the war.

Later military experts believed that the New Guinean state was decades different from the Chinese Empire in terms of personnel and equipment and tactical thinking, and the two sides were not at the same level at all. It is not difficult to understand that the Chinese Empire, with almost no use of its army, used its naval and air forces alone to force down the countries of New Guinea.

Of course, these things are easier said than done, and if there were no bombers with a large bomb load, no large-caliber naval guns with a long enough range, and no novel command ideas from the top brass of the Chinese Imperial military, such a method of war would not have appeared.

At this time, even the white military experts who were most hostile to the rise of the yellow race on the Western Continent had to admit that the countries of the Western Continent had completely lagged behind the Chinese Empire in terms of military technology, weapon quality, and military ideology.

Of course, Fang Xiaoyu laughed at such an afterthought military comment, and anyone would do it with hindsight, and there were very few people who could set a precedent for a generation of military models.

"Who approved this." Fang Xiaoyu was in the study, yelling at a group of military officers. Despite the victory, Fang Xiaoyu was still extremely angry, because these military officials were really a little excessive.
