Republic of China game

This is a conflict between the British and the Chinese, but the blood is shed by Indians who have nothing to do with it!Seeing the seemingly high-spirited Indian soldiers below, an inexplicable sadness rose from the bottom of Nehru's heart.How could these soldiers be the opponents of the mighty Chinese Army?Millions of Soviet Red Army were completely annihilated by them!However, the British have now sent [-] to [-] British and Indian troops to defend Hong Kong, and there are no shadows of tanks and heavy artillery in the military parade.This army simply came to Hong Kong to die!These British people did not take the lives of tens of thousands of Indians as a matter!

But do the Chinese care about the lives of the Indians?After they seized the five Central Asian countries, they turned them into Chinese colonies without hesitation!It has never considered the issue of allowing the people there to gain independence and freedom!After they beat the British away?Nine times out of ten, India just needs to change masters, right?Not long ago, the chairman of the National Congress, Bosco, personally came to China to seek support from the national government for the Indian independence movement, but he encountered a lot of soft nails!Those Chinese don't want to support Indian Independence Army at all...

Perhaps what these Chinese rulers who have degenerated into imperialist powers want to fight now is nothing more than a war for hegemony among imperialists!They just want to make Britain the new master of India, and they will even exploit the Indian people more cruelly, right?

Thinking of this, a lingering haze crept over Nehru's brow unconsciously.It seems that the Chinese Nationalist Government and the Chinese Nationalist Party do not intend to help the Indian people at all...but they are likely to defeat Britain and become the new master of India!

Through those friends who worked for the British and Indian authorities, Nehru was fully aware of the dangerous situation facing Britain.Most of Britain's power will be used for the European war that may break out at any time, and a small part of its power will be used to defend Australia and Singapore.India's defense is only to stick to the Imphal fortress to block the Chinese troops from Myanmar, while Myanmar, northern Kalimantan, and Hong Kong have actually been included in the list of giving up at any time.If China agrees to transfer the expeditionary fleet and armored forces back from Europe, and tear up the alliance with Germany, Britain can even immediately give these three colonies to China, but China has rejected the British Empire's kindness without hesitation.

In the arrogance of the Chinese and the humility of the British, Nehru seemed to have seen the end of this world war.If the United States does not join Britain and France, China and Germany will almost surely win!And India, whether it wants to or not, must accept Chinese rule!And just when Indian bourgeois revolutionaries such as Nehru and Gandhi were ready to resign themselves to their fate and considered whether to discuss with the Chinese colonists the formation of an "Indian Dominion" government, Boss, who was wandering in China, suddenly "coincidentally" met Lu, the spiritual leader of the Communist Party of India. Yi, and also learned from Lu Yi a shortcut to India's independence, which is also the only way-let the Indian National Congress and the Communist Party of India cooperate, and accept the help of the Eastern Bureau of the Communist International and the Chinese Communist Party.

According to the information disclosed by Lu Yi, in fact, the Chinese National Government has little interest in India.Their goal is the rich Nanyang and Australia, where the vast territory and low population density (the population of Nanyang was not very large in the 30s), can be used to relieve the pressure of China's domestic population (arable land) and less, while India's population... There are too many, and there is really no extra land to house the Chinese.Therefore, under the domination of this kind of thinking, the Chinese Nationalist Government has agreed to hand over the task of attacking India and eliminating the British Indian army to the Chinese Communists who have been cooperating with them.

But this time, Nehru was at the invitation of Lu Yi, leader of the Communist Party of India, and Zhou Enlai, leader of the Eastern Bureau of the Communist International, and secretly arrived in Hong Kong to discuss with them the great cause of the liberation of the Indian people. !

……

A BMW brand limousine, facing the cool sea breeze, walked on the road by the sea of ​​Azov.A blue sky and white military flag fluttered dazzlingly on the car, waving in the bright sunshine of southern Russia.The car was followed by two half-track armored personnel carriers, all of which were Chinese National Defense Force soldiers in camouflage uniforms with loaded guns and live ammunition.

Now the territory of the Soviet Red Army has been compressed to the southern foot of the Greater Caucasus Mountains.Beginning in mid-August, the Sino-Russian Allied Forces and the Soviet Red Army once again fought fiercely at the northern foot of the Caucasus Mountains. Although the Soviet Red Army, which was at an obvious disadvantage in terms of numbers and equipment, once concentrated its superior forces, it launched a war against the weaker Russian army. Onslaught, trying to break the advance of the Chinese and Russian coalition forces, but in the end their attack was disintegrated by the opponent's overwhelming air superiority!At the same time, the Soviet Black Sea Fleet was continuously bombed by the air forces of China, Russia, Germany and Poland, and finally did not escape the bad luck of being wiped out.Then the Polish Black Sea Fleet, led by the flagship, the 8-ton Polish Legion armored ship, launched a fierce bombardment of the Soviet positions deployed along the Black Sea coast.With the cooperation of the Polish Navy and the air forces of the four countries, on September 15000, the 9th Infantry Army of the Chinese National Defense Army finally captured Sochi, the gateway to the Transcaucasus region on the banks of the Black Sea, after days of hard work.The fall of Sochi also seems to mean that the Transcaucasus, the red base directly led by the Bolshevik Party Central Committee, is already in jeopardy!

And the goal of this convoy is the Black Sea resort Sochi, which has just been captured by the Chinese 18th Army, and it will soon become the headquarters of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.And it was Marshal Chiang Kai-shek, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, who was riding in that BMW limousine!Although Generalissimo Jiang knew nothing about how to command a multi-army coordinated modern war, he did not stay comfortably in Volgograd to listen to the victory. Instead, he followed the pace of the expeditionary army and kept heading south, returning every now and then. Going to the front line where the battle is the most intense to show up can be regarded as a boost to morale, and he is finally a dedicated commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force.

The convoy traveled all the way south, and finally entered Sochi. This once-pleasant holiday resort has now become devastated!Just like what Chiang Kai-shek saw in all the cities abandoned by the Bolsheviks, there are houses that have been bombed along the way, and all the bridges that pass are simple bridges built by engineers, even in the wheat fields on the roadside, They are all traces of being set on fire.The ability of these Bolsheviks to wreak havoc is truly unprecedented and will never be seen again.After this battle, more than half of Russia was destroyed!

Outside the hastily restored Sochi City Party Committee building, there were already a large number of senior generals of the National Defense Forces with shining stars.After nearly a year of fighting, these generals of the 17th Army and the 18th Army are almost fully mature now, and they are full of confidence in themselves and the National Defense Forces.Seeing these capable generals inside and out, Lao Jiang also liked and regretted in his heart. He likes such strong generals concentrated in his own hands. It should be no problem to drive Stalin away and seize Iran. It's a pity that these generals are still inseparable from themselves, and they are more just perfunctory.It seems that we still need to win over more.

The door of the car was opened, Lao Jiang and Song Meiling got out of the car together, and saw Du Yuming, the chief of staff who had arrived in Sochi earlier, come up with a frown, made a military salute, and said in a low voice: "Jun Zuo, just got the news , Three heavily armed British and Indian infantry divisions have arrived on the southern border of Iran, and there seems to be signs of an invasion of Iran."

"Oh? There is such a thing!" Chiang Kai-shek was startled when he heard the words, and after a moment of silence, he asked again: "Did you report to Wuhan? What instructions do they have?"

Du Yuming nodded, and replied: "It has been reported to the General Staff, but the new instructions have not yet come." Speaking of this, Du Yuming emphasized again, saying: "The British invaded Iran to deal with us, or they may It is to prevent the entry of Stalin's troops. To prevent the war from spreading to the British colonies in the Middle East."

"Well, it makes sense." Chiang Kai-shek nodded.

Du Yuming went on to analyze: "The humble official also estimated that after Stalin learned the news, he might go south to Persia in advance. There is his only way of retreat, and his troops can't be bought in Turkey. So he has to rush to the United Kingdom. Go south and occupy Persia before occupying Persia."

Chiang Kai-shek hummed, there was no abnormal expression on his face, but his heart sank slightly.Obviously, the British had realized that the Chinese Expeditionary Force was spying on the Middle East. They should have entered Persia to prevent China from controlling Persia in the name of pursuing Stalin.The most likely situation now is not that Stalin preemptively occupied Persia, but that Britain and the Soviet Union carve up Persia!

……

There was a snap.In the luxury suite of the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong, Nehru threw a "KMT-Communist Cooperation Agreement" on the coffee table.He looked at the thick cooperation agreement that had been prepared long ago, shook his head solemnly, and said: "Mr. Lu Yi, Mr. Zhou, the Communist Party of India, the Communist Party of China, and the Eastern Bureau of the Communist International are willing to help the Congress Party." Reformation, helping the Indian people to fight for independence, I and the Congress Party are very moved, but... has the Chinese Nationalist Government really handed over the mission of eliminating the British troops stationed in India to the border guards controlled by your party?"

Zhou Enlai smiled faintly, "It turns out that Mr. Nehru still doesn't trust us. Well, let's ask Mr. Nehru to tell us, what can we do to believe us?"

Nehru picked up his teacup, took a sip, thought for a moment, and then slowly said: "I need to meet with the president of the Republic of China or the chief of staff of the Chinese National Defense Force to discuss the future relationship between China and India. The signing of the Non-Aggression Pact, and also the issue of the demarcation of the Sino-Indian border.”

"We can arrange for you to meet with Marshal Luo Yaoguo of the National Defense Force." Zhou Enlai breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "As for the "Non-Aggression Treaty", there is no problem. India really has no ambitions at all. Because the biggest problem they face is to solve the contradiction between overpopulation and relatively scarce arable land, they will not have any thoughts about densely populated India.”

Nehru seemed not at ease with Zhou Enlai's answer. He put down his teacup and said calmly: "India is not all densely populated areas, and there are also large and sparsely populated areas, so I hope the Chinese government can recognize the current British Indian Empire. All territories of the future belong to the future free and independent Republic of India."

Zhou Enlai frowned slightly, looked up at the old and cunning Nehru, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Nehru, where do you include all the territories of the British Indian Empire?"

"Including all the land under the administration of the British Indian government except British Burma." Nehru said.

Zhou Enlai's expression became a bit more dignified. Of course, he was well aware of the Sino-British (India) boundary conflict.The so-called "McMahon Line" delineated by the British brought about 9 square kilometers of territory originally belonging to China into British India, and these territories are still under the jurisdiction of the British and Indian authorities!With the current strength of the Nationalist government, it seems impossible to ask them to recognize the "McMahon Line"... Nehru should not be so confused, right?

Chapter 0786 Sneak Attack ([-]) Z Operation Plan

"Supplementary text, this is the report just sent by the Military Intelligence Bureau. They have lost the trace of the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet. Seven aircraft carriers and five battleships have left Wujun Port, and their whereabouts are unknown! It is estimated that they rushed to Zhanjiang Nanyang Fleet!"

October 1938, 10 at 2 am.Major General Natalie, Deputy Secretary-General of the General Staff of the National Defense Forces, hurried into Luo Yaoguo's office, and handed an urgent report from the Military Intelligence Bureau to Luo Yaoguo who was sitting behind the desk.The content of this report is very brief, that is, the Japanese Combined Fleet has left Wujun Port last night, and its whereabouts are unknown!This was reported by the Japanese station of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and their most important job these years is to monitor every move of the most threatening force in the Japanese Empire-the Japanese Combined Fleet.

Maybe the matter was a little serious, even Natalie, who was used to seeing big winds and waves, seemed a little nervous.After all, some time ago, the Korean Independence Army once sent information that the Japanese combined fleet was planning to attack Zhanjiang Naval Port!As a result, the Nanyang Fleet was up and down for a while, and even the air defense early warning radar, which was still in the experimental stage, was transported to the high ground near Zhanjiang Military Port and installed, and the anti-aircraft guns mobilized a whole army!Navy and Air Force aircraft concentrated 3000.Just wait for another beautiful sea and air battle in the South China Sea, which will directly turn the Japanese combined fleet into a historical term!However, the Nanyang Fleet has been waiting for almost 2 months, and the Japanese combined fleet still has no intention of moving.Just when everyone thought that the Japanese were afraid to come, they did not expect to be dispatched last night!Could it be that Japan is going to attack Zhanjiang?

Thinking of this, Luo Yaoguo had regained his composure. He accepted the report with a smile, nodded and said, "Well done, the Japanese station of the Military Intelligence Bureau responded in a timely manner. I ordered them to be rewarded... The Japanese sneaked out of the military port quietly, look It must be planning some big military action. We have been waiting for them for almost 2 months! They are coming out now, good! Well done! We have 3000 planes, 1300 anti-aircraft guns, and more than a dozen radar stations , The warning network of 200 submarines, I don’t believe that Yamamoto 56 can still get out of my palm!”

At this time, Luo Yaoguo seemed to be in a better mood, and he never thought that this Japanese military operation would cause him much trouble.There is a bright and confident smile on his face.He thought for a while, and then said to Natalie: "Let's draft an order, order: Northeast Security Command raises the alert level to wartime! Second Armored Army, First Army, Second Army, Fifth Army The Group Army, the Sixth Group Army, and the First Air Force of the Air Force were placed under the command of the Northeast Security General Command from October 1938, 10! And the combat readiness level was raised to wartime. At the same time, the Beiyang Fleet was ordered to raise the combat readiness level to wartime, and the third The Air Force raises its readiness level to wartime."

Natalie quickly recorded a series of orders dictated by Luo Yaoguo, and then handed the folder to Luo Yaoguo for him to sign.According to the current wartime regulations of the National Defense Forces, orders such as the mobilization of troops, the issuance of combat orders, and the adjustment of combat readiness levels need to be jointly signed by the Chief of Staff and the Minister of Defense. Therefore, after Luo Yaoguo signed, Natalie had to send this document to the The Ministry of National Defense signed He Yingqin.

"Fuwen, do you want to notify the CCP to be alert now? They only have 5 troops in Khabarovsk, Amursk, and Temple Street. I am afraid they are not the opponents of the Japanese Far East Army." Natalie took the folder and looked at it. reminded again.

"This..." Luo Yaoguo frowned, "The Japanese will not act so quickly. They have just left Wujun Port, and it will take five or six days to reach the sea off Zhanjiang, right? Besides, the Far Eastern Republic is not our country's protectorate, nor is it. Allies, the Far East Army of the Communist International is not our allies, how do we inform them?" He lowered his tone a bit, and said: "This afternoon, Chairman Zhou of the CCP is not going to bring Nehru to the General Assembly. The staff? I'll talk to them then."

"Oh, by the way, the CCP just called and they informed that Nehru may raise the issue of the McMahon Line during the talks."

"What? Who does this Nehru think he is?" Luo Yaoguo showed a strange smile on his face, then he shook his head and said, "I know about this. Natalie, send the order to He Jingzhi asked him to sign it, and then send it to the Ministry of Communications for release."

Natalie nodded, closed the folder, and left quickly.In the office, Luo Yaoguo was sitting there.There was a sudden murderous look in his eyes, as if he had already seen how the all-out war that was about to happen was staged.Finally, he let out a long breath, leaned on the back of the chair, and whispered to himself: "The last war is about to begin! In East Asia, the Japanese Combined Fleet was the first to be wiped out, and the Japanese army in the Far East was not part of Bai Chongxi's million-strong army." Opponent...North Korea will probably take a while, but that's a communist problem.

Next is French Indochina, Siam, Burma, Malaya, Kalimantan and other places, as well as the small British Eastern Fleet... The Nanyang Front Army and Nanyang Fleet should be able to deal with them!By the end of December at the latest, the Strait of Malacca should be under control.

When the Nanyang side takes down the Singapore fortress, it is estimated that France will also be bulldozed by Hitler, the British mainland will be in jeopardy, and the Dutch mainland will fall.In this way, the United Kingdom will not be able to spare extra troops to reinforce Australia and Lanyin. As long as we have control of the sea in Southeast Asia, and then send enough troops there, there will be no problem in defeating them.

The next question is the British mainland, North Africa, the Middle East, and India... The British mainland and North Africa are what Hitler has to consider, and the Middle East is a must. Ah San should have no problem with the CCP fighting there.If all these can be successfully completed, almost one-third of the world will be firmly in control.I didn't come here in vain, hahaha..."

At this moment, Luo Yaoguo's eyes more or less flashed a look that could be called intoxicated.He now holds a lot of power, and has just won a series of major victories in foreign wars, opening up tens of millions of square kilometers of territory!And there is a bigger victory already within reach, as if everything is under control.Under such circumstances, anyone would probably lose themselves, right?But if he knew what the Japanese United Fleet was doing now, would he be furious?

……

October 1938, 10, Kyushu, Japan, 4 nautical miles south of Kagoshima.

The main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet, which disappeared from under the eyes of Chinese spies, is cruising in this calm sea area at this time.This is a huge formation consisting of 7 aircraft carriers, 5 battleships, 8 heavy cruisers, 18 light cruisers and 45 destroyers, as well as 2 tankers and 2 transport ships!In terms of the tonnage of capital ships and aircraft carriers, this large fleet is definitely the most powerful maritime force in the Western Pacific at present, and it is also the hope for the revival of the Japanese Empire.

On the bridge of the United Fleet flagship Nagato, Lieutenant General Yamamoto 56, the commander of the United Fleet, is looking at the aircraft carrier Akagi in the distance with a telescope.This aircraft carrier is no longer the original "Akagi", but one of the two 2-ton aircraft carriers built by Japan for the Soviet Union.

这一级的航空母舰的性能和中国海军的“中山”号类似，可以搭载80架舰载飞机。其中有16架96式舰载战斗机，30架98式舰上爆击机，24架97式鱼雷轰炸机，10架侦察轰炸机。

Now that the aircraft carrier has turned its bow to face the wind, 24 torpedo bombers on the flight deck are ready, and the modified airborne torpedoes have been hung on the pylons of the belly. Climbing into the cockpit of the plane, I waited intently for the flag in front of me to wave down, and the glowing red rising sun logo on the fuselage and wings also seemed to shine brightly under the morning glow.

"Genuda-kun!"

After Yamamoto 56 put down the binoculars, he turned to Fleet Aviation Staff Minoru Genada, "Are you ready?"

"Okay, the 24 Type 97 attack aircraft on the Akagi are ready." Minoru Genada paused, thought for a while and said, "The three target ships in Kagoshima Bay are also ready. .Believe that this training will achieve the best results."

"Yaoxi!" Yamamoto 56 nodded with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "The combined fleet's Z-operation plan aimed at raiding Pearl Harbor and occupying the Hawaiian Islands has been approved by the Navy Command, and I believe it will be launched soon. It was passed at the Five-Prime Conference." At this point, he suddenly increased his voice: "The rise and fall of the imperial kingdom will be fought here, and I hope you will work hard!"

"Hi!" The bridge of the Nagato shouted violently. The faces of the rational naval elites trained by the Etajima Naval Academy are now full of fanatical expressions...

At this time, the navy captain Kanfu Kengoro, who was driving a Type 97 torpedo plane, had already turned on the engine of the plane to the maximum power, and the plane roared against the deck wind and rushed to the end of the deck. The wheel of the machine broke away from the deck in an instant and rose into the air!

Today, Ganfu Kengoro's Akagi torpedo squadron will be responsible for the final test of the Type 91 Mod 2 torpedo and the "Ganfu shooting method".These two tasks mainly solve the problem of aviation torpedo shallow water combat, which can be said to be the biggest problem in the entire Z plan!If it cannot be resolved, the Japanese combined fleet will have no way to defeat the main force of the US Pacific Fleet anchored in Pearl Harbor.

In fact, in the final plan for attacking Wujun Port submitted by the China Nanyang Fleet, Commander Zhao had no choice but to replace all torpedo attack aircraft with A- 4C dive bomber.However, the Japanese Navy does not have a dive bomber that can carry 500 kilograms of aerial bombs. Their Type 98 can barely carry 250 kilograms of aerial bombs. It is not a big problem to use this level of bombs to deal with American aircraft carriers, but the problem is the Pacific Ocean. The fleet also has 9 battleships equipped with anti-aircraft decks. If they are not dealt with, there is absolutely no way for the Japanese army to capture Hawaii!

However, our genius Gan Fuken Goro only used the simplest method to solve the biggest problem that plagued the naval aviation forces of all countries in the world in just one month.His method is to add a wooden tail to the Type 91 torpedo to increase buoyancy, and at the same time reduce the height of the torpedo plane to drop the torpedo to less than 10 meters, and the distance from the target ship to 620 meters - although it is a bit like suicide Attack, but for the Japanese samurai flying the plane, their own life and death are completely irrelevant.
