2128 Hold on to India
The next day, June 19, Lin Yuan issued an order: "The Beijing aircraft carrier battle group set sail to the Viceroy of British India, George? Curzon's station, Calcutta, marched. ”
Kolkata is the largest port in British India, India is also the world's largest cotton exporter at this time, more than 80% of the British cotton textile factories have to buy cotton from India, and many of these cotton have to be shipped back to Britain from Calcutta, so there are many ships near Kolkata.
There are more than 30 ships of various types in the Beijing aircraft carrier battle group, and it is impossible for these ships to go undetected, and soon a British businessman discovered the Beijing aircraft carrier battle group and reported the news of their trip to Calcutta to George? Curzon.
George? Curzon gritted his teeth with hatred for Lin Yuan, not because Lin Yuan had defeated the British Empire several times, but because Lin Yuan blocked his way to promotion.
George? Curzon had been plotting to separate the western highlands of China from China, so that there would be a large more piece of the British Empire's territory, and he could also be promoted to the rank of knight, he thought that he could take the opportunity of Lin Yuan to overthrow the Qing court in the western highlands of China, and achieve his evil goals, but what he didn't expect was that Lin Yuan actually carried out reforms in the west, and the west was thriving, and foreign forces could not even insert a needle.
Lin Yuan smashed George like this? Curzon's intentions, George? Curzon hated Lin Yuan to death from then on, George? Although Curzon hated Lin Yuan, he had an inexplicable fear of Lin Yuan, and when Lin Yuan led the fleet to set off, he had a premonition that Lin Yuan was going to fight India, and later Lin Yuan defeated Burma and established the "Myanmar Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China". Curzon keenly felt that India was not far from becoming an "autonomous region".
George? Curzon also met Cruswaite, and listened to Cruswaite talk about Lin Yuan's miraculous weapons, and he didn't want to resist even more, and just wanted to surrender as soon as possible, but at this critical moment, a telegram was sent from London, the telegram was sent by the British Prime Minister himself, and the content of the telegram was very simple, asking George? Curzon held India to the death, not allowing India to become part of China.
George? Of course, Curzon understood the importance of India to Britain, but he still didn't have much confidence to stop Lin Yuan. Curzon sent a telegram that asked George? Curzon was immediately motivated, for the telegram said: "If you hold India, I will ask the queen to crown you the title of 'Marquis' and the title of 'Lord of the Seals'!" ”
The "Lord of the Seals" is the first minister in the British government after the prime minister. Seeing such a great temptation of power, Curzon immediately called a wise man and ordered: "Bring in Lieutenant General Osam, the Supreme Commander of the British Army in India." ”
It didn't take long for Ossam to come to George? In front of Curzon, Osam is a professional soldier who regards honor above life, and such a soldier will naturally not surrender when facing Lin Yuan, but will fight to the death!
Osam gave a standard military salute and said in a loud voice: "Hello, Lord Governor! ”
George? Curzon laughed, took Osam's hand and sat him down, and asked, "How is the combat strength of the army in India?" ”
Osam frowned and said, "Combat effectiveness is not an easy indicator to measure, I don't know what you mean by combat effectiveness?" Can you be more detailed? ”
George? Curzon said, "Lin Yuan's fleet is coming, can we defeat them?" ”
Osam shook his head silently and said, "Although I am very reluctant to admit this, as a sane soldier and a devout Christian, I still have to say that it is difficult for us to defeat Lin Yuan. ”
George? Curzon smiled and said, "You don't need to defeat them, you just need to inflict heavy damage on them, can you do it?" ”
Osam thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be a big problem to cause heavy damage, we are equipped with the latest jet fighters of the Empire, which should be able to cause some damage to Lin Yuan's fleet." ”
At this time, the planes equipped by the British troops stationed in India were the same models that were beaten by the infrared combat missiles of the Chinese Air Force in the air battle of Helsinki, and in the Battle of Helsinki, the British fighters of this type were all destroyed, and the British army destroyed all the technical information about these fighters, so the Chinese side still knows nothing about this type of fighters.
George? Curzon said loudly: "That's good, our purpose is to inflict heavy losses on China, so that Lin Yuan can't bear the losses and takes the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield." ”
Osam pondered for a while and said: "I don't dare to guarantee that it will be able to inflict heavy damage on the Chinese fleet, our jet fighters are anti-aircraft attack aircraft, and the real sea attack aircraft is Charizard fighters, but Charizard fighters are not good in previous battles." ”
George? Curzon thought for a while and said, "Although I don't understand military affairs, I also understand the reason that attacking it is not prepared to take it by surprise, if our Charizard fighter can fly over and drop bombs when the enemy does not expect it, can it cause great damage to the Chinese?" ”
Osam nodded and said, "That's the truth, but when is the enemy not expecting it?" It's not easy to find! ”
George? Curzon smiled: "Don't worry, I have my own way, now you take me to the airport, I will personally meet those pilots." ”
Osam promised to come down and take George with him? Curzon arrived at the airport, which was covered with a thick camouflage net, and Osam said: "The planes and the pilots are in the hangar, and they usually don't come out, and they only come out when they are dispatched and trained." ”
Osam said and took George? Curzon walked into the hangar and saw a row of thirty-six planes parked inside, these planes had no propellers in the nose, only a large hole, George? Curzon pointed to the big hole in the nose and asked, "How can there be a big hole in the nose of this plane?" Can this fly? ”
Osam laughed: "This big hole is the air intake, and this part is needed for jet engines." ”
George? Curzon nodded, and Osam gave George again? Curzon introduced the aircraft: "The name of this aircraft is 'Thor', the name is taken from Norse mythology, it is equipped with a turbojet engine produced by our British Empire, and the top speed can reach Mach 0.8, which is a very remarkable speed!" ”
Osam pointed to the four thick cannons under the wings and said: "Each of these cannons has 30 millimeters, and the rate of fire is as high as 200 rounds per minute, which can be called the Grim Reaper in the air." ”
The British at this time did not know that in the Chinese Air Force a real air death awaited them.
