For Lord Curzon now, he can only wait, when the Japanese mercenaries transferred back from Indonesia arrive, in addition to those Japanese mercenaries, Curzon also borrowed an additional division of the Russian army, so that he can have 50,000 troops without worrying about loyalty, although the number is still not much, but it is enough to control the situation in the short term. As long as they survive this most difficult period and wait for the European battlefield to decide the winner, then the Indians will naturally be honest, of course, if Britain wins, if Britain loses, this land will definitely not belong to the British Empire anymore, and it will be none of their business if they love chaos at that time.

In fact, as a veteran colonialist who had been in the colonies for most of his life, Curzon had already vaguely felt at this time that even if Britain won the war, India might not be able to continue to be kept in the end, and this most brilliant jewel in the British crown was too close to the dragon, and it would be a fantasy to say that His Majesty the Emperor of Beijing had no idea about this place.

From the rebellion in Mumbai, he already smelled of conspiracy.

Of course, even if he smells the smell of conspiracy, there is nothing he can do, under the oppression of China's suffocating power, let alone him, what can the British Empire do?

"Alas!" Looking at a telegram on his desk, the Governor, His Excellency the Vice-Chancellor, could not help but let out a long sigh.

The telegram was from Colombo, where a group of battle cruisers, built by Sweden's Young's shipyard for the Chinese Navy, had just arrived in Colombo to make the necessary supplies before continuing on to China.

Nine Hongwu-class battle cruisers, even Lord Curzon, who is accustomed to seeing the majesty of the British Royal Navy fleet, can't help but beat his heart hard, which means that the position of the world's number one naval power has changed hands, and the British Empire's 150-year maritime supremacy since the Seven Years' War has come to an end today.

Nine battleships, twenty-three battlecruisers, although I don't understand why Emperor Yang built so many battle cruisers, but just from the number of capital ships. The Royal Chinese Navy is already the new world first.

Just when Lord Curzon let out this helpless sigh, in the distant city of Beijing, Emperor Yang was also letting out a long sigh, but he sighed with relief, tossed for so many years, tossed two time and space, he finally took this country to the position of sea supremacy for the first time, the super battleship and aircraft carrier formation for long-distance training have returned, plus the last nine battle cruisers in the second batch of shipbuilding plans to join, the Chinese Royal Navy will embark on the voyage of conquering the world with the most powerful lineup.

Two super-battleships. Two aircraft carriers, nine battleships, twenty-three battle cruisers, twenty heavy cruisers, thirty-six light cruisers, one hundred ocean-going destroyers, this is all the current main force of the Royal Chinese Navy, in addition to which four aircraft carriers are under construction at the Dalian shipyard, which will be ready for service in one year at the latest.

And at the same time, because of the need to switch to a state of war. Congress has approved the third batch of shipbuilding plans proposed by the Admiralty, and unlike the previous ones, these four aircraft carriers under construction have also officially appeared in the public plan, which means that China's aircraft carriers are officially open to the public. Certainly not the battleship openly. Instead, the construction plan is made public, and the two that have been built are still in a secret state, in other words, these four are the first aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy, although this concept has attracted great attention from various countries, including domestic ones. However, no one has linked this special warship, which is said to have been proposed by Emperor Yang himself and can carry aircraft for combat, with the sea hegemon.

And China is not alone in coming up with this concept, the British are also experimenting with it. It is said that the modification of a heavy cruiser has begun, allowing it to directly carry out aircraft take-off and landing.

However, in the third batch of shipbuilding plans, what makes the outside world stunned is that in addition to these four aircraft carriers, the rest is still the Hongwu-class battle cruiser, and twelve ships will be built at the same time, of course, there will be no more Swedish construction in this batch, all of which will be built by China's domestic shipyards. In fact, Sweden's Young's shipyard will completely close down the warship construction department, and in the future, only civilian ships will be built there, including the military branch of Bofors Steel, and the Swedish Young's consortium will not be involved in arms production in the future, and all idle workers will be transferred to China to work, and this huge military industrial base has completed its historical mission.

Just when the first Japanese mercenaries set foot on Indian soil and launched an attack on the rebels who had already occupied Dhaka, the Chinese Navy held a ceremony in Cam Ranh Bay to officially receive nine Hongwu-class battle cruisers, and when the Anglo-Russian coalition launched another attack on the Colombians after reinforcements from Asia arrived, the Russian army's counteroffensive in Zhytomyr, Ukraine, was about to begin.

On a road leading to the Guò forest behind the Russian front, Denikin, wearing the epaulettes of the major general, was standing on a Chinese-made military vehicle, or simply a Willis jeep, slowly moving along the road, passing by officers and soldiers who raised their hands respectfully and saluted, and beside them were Lynx chariots with roaring engines.

There are a total of 300 Chinese-made Bobcat chariots here, which happen to be organized into an armored division, many of these steel beasts are almost brand new, and even the paint on the outside has not been touched, and most of them have not yet experienced the war, and these chariots will use their steel bodies to kick off the prelude to the great counteroffensive on the Eastern Front.

War is the best teacher, as the hero of the Russian Army Chariot Unit, Major General Denikin's brain, there has been a prototype of the blitzkrieg, of course, it is only a prototype, for example, he did not consider the problem of infantry accompanying cover, and in addition, the logistics are not enough, in short, the armored division he led has various problems in many aspects, so that Emperor Yang looks like a group of dizzy Erlengzi, but it is undeniable that this general who has just become famous, What is about to take place is the first blitzkrieg in the history of warfare.

Although his immediate boss, the commander of the Ukrainian Front, did not approve of such a risky chariot group attack, Major General Denikin, who was currently favored by the Tsar, insisted on it, and he could no longer oppose it.

"Warriors of Russia, today will be a glorious day, we will crush the German lines with our tanks, tear their bodies apart with our artillery, open the way to Berlin with our courage, follow me, follow your generals, attack, attack, for Russia, for the tsar, attack!" After reviewing his men, Major General Denikin brandished his saber and roared.

Immediately after that, the soldiers let out the roar of Ulla.

"Get in the car!" Denikin said with a wave of his hand, and then climbed into the front of a chariot, and soon the tracks of this chariot began to turn, and the body of a dozen tons slowly moved forward on the slightly muddy road.

At the same time that Denikin's armored division was moving towards the front line, in an open field not far in front of them, twenty 280mm howitzers on concrete gun emplacements had raised their muzzles, and the commander standing not far from the artillery group looked at the pocket watch in his hand with a solemn expression, and when the pointer pointed to a number, he also waved his hand very firmly and said: "Start!" ”

Immediately after that, the twenty terrifying giant cannons roared almost at the same time in an instant, the long muzzle flame soared into the sky, and the huge cannonballs flew out with a roar, smashing into the German positions in the distance like meteors, and at the same time, on a long front of more than 1,000 kilometers from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Black Sea, tens of thousands of Russian artillery pieces of various calibers also spewed flames in an instant, and those dense shells that crossed the sky tore apart the calm of the battlefield on the Eastern Front with a piercing roar, and also tore the prelude to the great counteroffensive of the Entente powers.

Just a few tens of seconds after the Russian army began shelling, the same dense shells roared from the opposite side, and the Germans, who had been in good positions for a long time, also began retaliatory shelling, and even the German airships behind the battle line took off under the cover of fighter jets, ready to let the Russians bear the wrath from hell.

The infantry on both sides have all been very skilled in drilling into the depths of the trench at this time, one by one holding their heads and screaming with their mouths wide open, waiting for their fate in the terrible explosion of the shells, such days have lasted for three years, and the mud in the trenches has already been soaked in the mud for three years, whether it is honor, courage or loyalty, they are rotting in the mud, for these soldiers, the battle is just a conditioned reflex, what they need is relief, even death is a relief, In fact, it is not uncommon for suicide to commit suicide in the trenches on either side at this time.

As the artillery bombardment continued on both sides, Denikin and his Panzer Division had quietly moved to the point where the attack was launched, the soldiers began to put the finishing touches on the three hundred tanks, and the officers, who gathered around their commanders, began to lay out their battle plans against the map. After all, it was the first time that Denikin himself commanded such a large-scale chariot group charge, including the formation, how to cooperate with these needs to be explained clearly, especially the war workshops are extremely troublesome to contact each other, after all, when Yang Feng sold them the chariots, it was impossible to sell them even the radio.

When the hour-long artillery preparation was nearing the end, he had already completed all the preparations before the attack, and then everyone re-entered the tank, and as the signal soldier next to Denikin on the command vehicle waved the signal flag, all the vehicles started at the same time again, and rumbled forward to the opposite line with the explosion of shells.
