The Chinese player envoy to the leased port of Sri Lanka, under the strong interference and opposition of the Indian players, failed to complete the mission, and returned to Taiwan in a low-key manner to report the situation of the mission to the Pacific Command of the Great Zhou.

It's still a small thing, just a loss of face.

But what happened in the next few days made the leaders of the Pacific Command feel extremely angry.

Feeling the tremendous pressure of the Chinese fleet's step-by-step approach to the Indian Ocean, the princes and players in India temporarily put aside internal conflicts and disputes, joined forces to mobilize more troops, and stepped up the attack on Pakistan, intending to completely remove this "hidden danger" around them, so as not to prevent Pakistan and Chinese players from joining forces to suppress India.

Moreover, in various ports of India, thousands of large warships, countless small ships began to assemble, the supply of troops was rolling, and countless war supplies arrived at the port of Chennai, faintly with the intention of not hesitating to engage in a naval decisive battle with the Chinese fleet and to speak by force. Fighting in the Indian Ocean, the Indian fleet occupies a favorable position, supplies are easy, and forces are concentrated, so they are not afraid of war.

In addition, they also sent a large number of envoys to various small countries in the Indian Ocean, ordering them not to provide any convenience, including "docking ports, food and water supplies", to Chinese merchant ships and fleets, otherwise they would be regarded as China's allies and would be attacked. In the Indian Ocean, there are not many people who dare to oppose India, only players in Myanmar have openly stated that they welcome the Chinese fleet to Myanmar ports for replenishment, and other small countries are silent. This litany of military and diplomatic actions. It is already the most severe provocation, which has seriously damaged China's interests in the Indian Ocean, and this cannot but anger the leaders of the Pacific Command. Qin Xiaobai was strongly urged to immediately order the Pacific Fleet to enter the Indian Ocean and start a war against India.

"Pakistani players can't hold on for long, Kashmir is lost, Jammu is lost, and only a few cities in Islamabad and Lahore are still struggling to support themselves in the north. And the southern cities, also lost a large number of them, hit the important town of Sukkur. If we do not act and allow India to attack Pakistan, Pakistan will be completely breached within a month. ”

"Pakistan is China's strategic corridor to the Indian Ocean, once Pakistan is completely fallen. Occupation by India will be China's greatest strategic loss. ”

The leaders were indignant.

Qin Xiaobai looked at everyone and said calmly: "This battle, whether it is to save our allies or to safeguard our interests in the Indian Ocean, is bound to be fought, and we need to act as soon as possible." We have been operating in Singapore for almost a month. Having stockpiled the food and munitions needed for a two-month expedition of 500,000 troops, we can mobilize more supplies to Singapore now that the seafaring supply lines in Southeast Asia are open. What do you think about what we need to do now is to build an Indian Ocean fleet that can operate in the Indian Ocean for a long time? ”

"Little white brother. Originally, we planned to lease a port in Sri Lanka and then draw ships from various fleets along China's coast to form an Indian Ocean fleet to Sri Lanka. But now the situation is urgent. It's too late for us to slowly build up the Indian Ocean Fleet. Even if it is formed, the fleet will need a long-term run-in in order to wield sufficient combat effectiveness. I propose to directly rename the current Pacific Fleet to the Indian Ocean Fleet and enter the Indian Ocean to operate. Then we will reorganize a new Pacific Fleet from the coastal fleets and station it in various key places in Southeast Asia. ”

Qin Xiaobai pondered for a while, weighing the pros and cons.

"Well, this is the quickest way to send troops. By our order, the Pacific Command was renamed the Indian Ocean Command. The fleet was also changed together to the Indian Ocean Fleet. Five thousand warships of the Indian Ocean Fleet assembled in Singapore and prepared to enter the Indian Ocean. Meantime. Eighteen fleets along China's coast, including the Bohai Fleet, the Big Bird Fleet, the Zhoushan Fleet, the Zhanjiang Fleet, the Hongzehu Fleet, the Jianye Fleet, the Quanzhou Fleet, the Keelung Fleet, the Kaohsiung Fleet, the Dongting Lake Fleet, the Poyang Lake Fleet, and the Guangzhou Fleet, each transferred 200,000 large ships to reorganize the new Pacific Fleet according to the original model and take over the defense of the original Pacific Fleet.

He thought about it for a while, and then said: "In addition, the Indian Ocean Command is appointed by the Sea Soul, and the New Pacific Fleet Command is replaced by the Sword King. and set up the Great Zhou Dynasty Navy Headquarters, I am only responsible for the coordination of the General Headquarters, and the oceanic fleets will have all the leaders present here. ”

Each fleet is formed in a share-funded mode, with Qin Xiaobai's equity being the first, Sea Soul being the second, Sword King being the third, and Dragon being the fourth. Theoretically, the first equity is the commander, but now there are two large fleets, both of which need to be directly commanded by the commander, and Qin Xiaobai cannot be divided into two halves and wear multiple hats.

If he doesn't take office, then he will be replaced by a large shareholder. Qin Xiaobai directly asked the Sea Soul and the Sword King to be the commanders of the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean respectively, but it did not cause any dissatisfaction among the leaders.

Military orders are issued.

The Pacific Fleet, which had been scattered in Taiwan, the Ryukyus, Brunei, Singapore, and other places, and was mainly responsible for escorting and suppressing bandits for the Chinese fleet, began to assemble in the direction of Singapore, preparing to cross the Strait of Malacca and enter the Indian Ocean for operations.

Ships along the coast of China and in the lakes of the six inland water systems also began to assemble in the direction of Taiwan to reorganize the Pacific Fleet.

The large-scale movement of the Chinese fleet in the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, the South China Sea, and the six inland water systems, as well as the sharp increase in the transportation of strategic materials such as food and medicine, the tense atmosphere, and the gossip that circulated according to various "reliable channels" shook the entire Chinese players and the local players of Southeast Asian countries.

Even an idiot can see that such a large-scale action is about to start a war, and it is likely to be a large-scale sea battle. Finger wrenching the math, Asian countries have the qualifications to let the Chinese fleet out of the nest, except for India, there is really no one else.

Japan was originally counted as one, but unfortunately it was pressed by the combined forces of South Korea, North Korea, and the Philippines, and the blockade was severe, and there was no sign of turning over, so it was excluded. If this move of the Chinese fleet is to attack Japan, it will inevitably seem to be making a big fuss. Directionally, too, it is not right, because a large part of the Chinese fleet is going to Singapore in the west, and not to the Korean island of Jeju in the east.

Although the atmosphere in the South China Sea is tense and murderous, players from Southeast Asian countries are not nervous. They are more or less aware of their "weight," and they will not alarm the Chinese fleet to move because of petty fights. Since he didn't come for himself, he was relieved, and he began to think about the benefits of this battle for himself.

The biggest benefit is the business interest.

The businessmen in Southeast Asia are extremely astute, smell the business opportunities, and are extremely excited. As soon as the war began, all kinds of materials on the front line were bound to be in short supply, and it was the best time for merchants to make money. Although the Chinese fleet has its own convoy of supplies, the Chinese fleet will definitely not refuse to allow Southeast Asian merchants to put the icing on the cake and transport more supplies over.

With the relocation of the Chinese fleet to Singapore, players with deep pockets in Southeast Asia have formed large fleets, while private players have used small sampans to follow the Chinese fleet** happily, transporting and reselling various supplies to make money.

This solves the supply pressure of a small part of the Chinese fleet, and the sea soul will naturally not refuse, and will laugh at it. The large-scale mobilization of China's Indian Ocean fleet strongly stimulated the Indian fleet.

Not to be outdone, the Indian fleet sent a forward fleet of several hundred four-masted warships to the Andaman Islands and the Nicobar Islands to demonstrate and show force. At the same time, it cut off the passage of Arab merchant ships to Singapore, and strictly prohibited Chinese merchant ships from entering the Indian Ocean.

The two archipelagos are strategically located, about 1,500 kilometres from Singapore, one on the top and one on the bottom, just stuck at the exit of the Strait of Malacca into the Indian Ocean. For the Chinese fleet to enter the Indian Ocean, it must first pass through these two islands before reaching Sri Lanka and India.

Indian players have set up port supply points in these two archipelagos to temporarily resupply their fleets. In addition, there were small military defenses and hundreds of thousands of garrisons of the 6th Army.

However, it is too close to Singapore for India to dare to station a large fleet here.

It is a bit far from the Indian mainland, and if four or five thousand warships are stationed, there are too many of them, and the supply pressure is also greater, and it will also weaken the coastal defense of the Indian mainland. If 1,200 warships are stationed, it will be vulnerable to a sneak attack by the Chinese fleet, which will be disadvantageous.

So the Indian fleet simply shrank all in Chennai and counterattacked on the defensive. Deploy a large number of 6 Sergeants to defend the islands in case the two islands are occupied by Chinese players. It also sent a small group of hundreds of warships as outposts to closely monitor the movements of the Chinese fleet in the two islands.

When the Sino-Indian fleet was about to break out into war, Qin Xiaobai did not appear on the front line of the battlefield, but handed over the command of the Indian Ocean Fleet to Sea Soul, arranged all kinds of affairs, left Keelung, and went north to his base camp Tianjin.

There is a more important thing than the Sino-Indian naval battle, born in Tianjin. A science and technology research institute in Tianjin produced gunpowder, a weapon of the cold weapon era. He would rather miss watching the Sino-Indian naval battle than hurry to Tianjin.
