Chapter 875 Interventionism is introduced
Machine guns, watchtowers and two barbed wire nets have turned the north and south ends of the port of Mumbai into two worlds. To the north is the narrow and chaotic Indian civil wharf, and behind the barbed wire to the south is the base of the New China Empire in India.
An old truck honked its horn wildly. Hundreds of Indians on the street were carrying the bodies of people who died of the flu to the outside of the city. The closer they were to the base, the more people there were. When they arrived at the door, they were even more dark. They were all Mumbai locals who were trying to wait for work here to subsidize their families.
In their jealous eyes, the truck slowly drove into the base after passing the inspection.
At the same time, a familiar old friend appeared on the sea. Although the thick barrel was still covered with tarp, its huge body still made everyone shudder.
Zhenna, who had just jumped out of the car, was immediately attracted by its majestic and powerful posture. Although he had seen some warships from afar, he had never seen such a sea beast so close.
Jiangxi is the sixth of the Hebei-class battleships and a main battleship with great achievements in the Second Fleet. It has won collective second-class merit twice in a row, and has also won first-class merit in sinking the Battle of Seychelles with the South African fleet that came to take over the British and Indian Grand Fleet.
The normal displacement of 33,500 tons is not huge in today's Xinhua Imperial Navy, but in front of the Indian autonomous government axe without any navy, it is still a ferocious giant ship that cannot be neglected. 12 356mm heavy guns are absolutely a big killer on this continent.
"Mr. Zhen Na, is it beautiful?"
Just as Zhen Na looked at the skilled sailors and saw a hot and envious line in his eyes, a voice sounded behind him. He turned his head to see that Li Zhen, who was dressed in the uniform of the Xinhua Naval Academy, had stood behind him, walked side by side with a smile, and watched the Jiangxi port together.
"Jenna has seen the eldest prince."
"No, Mr. Zhenna, I'm just a colonel of the Royal Navy here."
Li Zhen's faint smile made Zhenna pay more attention, especially the scar on his face, which is synonymous with war. He is also a little nervous with such a young man who has become the supreme commander of the Indian Naval Station of the Xinhua Navy and the first successor to the throne.
Zhen Na is very clear that many people in Xinhua have regarded Li Zhen as the next emperor, but at this time, he chose to stay away from the country and the center of power and come to India to sit down. This not only shows the courage of the eldest prince, but also shows Li Mo's importance to India.
"Yes, Colonel. It gives me the feeling of not beauty, but grandeur, an invincible majesty that can be felt in front of me. Zhen Na smiled and praised with a pun.
Li Zhen hooked the corners of his mouth and remembered that his father had praised this man for his knowledge of judging the situation. Now it seems to be true. At least he knew who was the owner of the Indian Ocean at present, so he praised a battleship with compliments.
Li Zhen didn't say anything. He took Zhenna on board the warship for a visit and stroked the cold and thick barrel. He couldn't help thinking of his years of serving on the Guam. He remembered the experience of breaking into the Atlantic Ocean alone, shelling New York, blowing up the Statue of Liberty and so on. After a long time, he recovered and sighed: "Unfortunately, Mr. Zhenna, you know Is it? It will soon withdraw from the active service of our navy.
"Really? But as far as I know, this battleship has not been in service for a long time. Li Zhen's words surprised Zhenna, who was dreaming of owning such a warship. The Hebei class was a new main battleship that had only been in service a few years before the war, and it was newer than many battleships currently serving in navies around the world, so he really couldn't figure out why Xinhua would let such a meritorious ship out of service.
"It's not just it." Li Zhen patted the turret: "A total of eight Hebei-class battleships will be sealed by the end of next year at the latest. In addition, China has reached an agreement with the Mexican political axe to sell three Jilin-class battleships and three Dalian-class heavy cruisers to the Mexican Navy, and the captured warships have also been dismantled and sold one after another."
"Why?" Zhenna is a little confused about why Li Zhen said this to him. Generally speaking, it is in its heyday at this moment, and because it is not short of funds due to compensation, there is no need to save money at all. Why did it suddenly abolish the navy on a large scale? And it's still the main battle equipment!
"Mr. Zhenna, I'm telling you this to remind you." Li Zhen slowly turned his head and looked into Zhen Na's eyes and said, "For our country, the war is over. If it is not necessary, we will not be involved in the war for a long time. This is why a major like me can take over as the commander of the naval station, because our country needs a period of time to cultivate. "!"
"So."
"Yes." Before Zhenna finished speaking, Li Zhen nodded: "Our country needs time to heal the wounds of the war, so it is impossible to help you as before. You will need to work hard for your own fate for a period of time in the future."
Li Zhen said here, he took out a list from his pocket and handed it to Zhen Na: "This is the last thing we can do. The weapons and ammunition on it will arrive in Karachi in batches within half a year. It should be enough for you to support it for a few years. However, please rest assured that this does not mean that our country will not care about what happened on the Indian Peninsula from now on. In fact, this is still the area where our country needs to maintain stability the most, so you can contact me or our Ministry of Foreign Affairs if you need anything.
After taking over the list, Zhenna understood Li Zhen's meaning, or Li Mo's meaning. For Xinhua, a unified India has always been a big threat, so they withdraw under the pretext of cultivation at this time, which is nothing more than trying to create the illusion of a power vacuum for all parties in the Indian conflict.
As for themselves, it is a choice. It is the best way for Xinhua to divide India, so they gave themselves time to give themselves the opportunity to establish a Muslim country, but if they can't make achievements in the past few years, maybe they will make a choice!
Psychologically, Zhen Na does not want to divide India, but the contradictions between Muslims and Indian sects in India are no longer reconciled. Every year, there are a large number of armed battles that cause tens of thousands of deaths and injuries on both sides, so it is better to simply establish a Muslim state, but if Xinhua does not continue to support at this time, he will still I'm not sure.
After opening the list with apprehension. After seeing the above, most of the worries and anxiety in Zhenna's heart dissipated in an end, because this batch of materials was too huge, including a total of 200,000 rifles, 200 cannons, matching ammunition, and even 2 small artillery destroyers and 20 Two-wing reconnaissance aircraft!
He knew that compared with the seized arms pulled back by Xinhua from the United States and around the world, these things are not even a drop in the hair. According to external rumors, Xinhua brought more than 80,000 light machine guns from the United States, and more than 10,000 cannons of all kinds. It is said that it has also dragged back more than 60 warships under construction, sunken and seized, which is not counted as the military materials they have allocated from Britain, France and other countries.
"Mr. Zhenna, I don't know if you are satisfied?"
"Satisfied, very satisfied." Even if such a steady person as Zhenna can't help but be happy to get this list. This thing means that he will become the largest force on the Indian Peninsula. Perhaps the establishment of a Muslim country will not be far away!
Zhenna left the base with excitement, but he didn't know that shortly after he left, a Japanese businessman also walked into Li Zhen's office.
"Mr. Ono, what you need to do is to contact Tirac in the name of the Japanese businessman, and then find a way to let them buy this batch of arms. Of course, this munition is not ours, but captured by your country from the battlefield. Do you understand?
"Hi! Your Highness, don't worry, Ono will definitely do it.
Li Zhen patted Ono on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Mr. Ono, as for the profit after the sale, I think it may be politically helpful to your family."
Ono's eyes lit up and secretly said that he was the right owner. You should know that this batch of weapons is not a lot, but if it is sold, it will be at least a profit of tens of millions of blue coins, because these things have no cost at all.
He doesn't dare to take it all, but as long as he gets 20%, it will be of great help to the families who are trying to get close to the top of this parliament, not to mention the line of the Xinhua royal family.
With Ono's departure, the side door of the office quietly opened. I don't know when Duan Fei and Li Xiufeng had appeared in the room.
"Great Prince, you did a good job."
"Uncle, Uncle Li, why are you here?" Seeing the two Li Zhen, he was also shocked and quickly got up to say hello.
Li Xiufeng and Li Zhen have the best relationship. Hehe said first, "I'm here to do business. The National Congress is on sale. How can such a good opportunity be without me? As for our uncle Duan Guohe, he is also here to do business, but it's just a head business."
"The head business is better than being covered with copper."
"I still like copper smell. Can't you, the great intelligence minister, look at it?"
"I'm too lazy to talk to you."
Because they are all acquaintances and relatives, even Duan Fei, a cold-faced man, made a joke and finally said, "This time is not only to see your situation here, but also to contact Gandhi and others."
"It seems that the emperor cares about Gandhi very much. Does this man really have such great ability?" Li Xiufeng asked curiously.
"There are indeed some skills. It is said that he has been internally designated as the next leader of the Congress Party, and this person's surname is relatively gentle. He advocates moderate means to establish a reading country, and has been negotiating with the Prime Minister's Office on this issue. So now that the civil war has started, we must spur it!"
"So, you're coming back."
Before Li Xiufeng finished speaking, Duan Fei nodded: "Let's go, Prince, please pack up and meet Gandhi with me. We are very dissatisfied with the current policy of the Congress Party. We must urge him. If he can't deal with the radicals and continue to be hostile to our country, then we don't need to make peace with the National Congress. The party has cooperated, let the army speak!"
"Does the father and the prime minister want to use troops against India?" Li Zhen got up and was a little surprised. Didn't the previous news say that he did not plan to intervene in regional conflicts in the past few years?
"Use soldiers? Humph, India doesn't deserve it! It's just to warn Gandhi that if they continue to swallow water like this, then we will clean up the mess!" Duan Fei sneered and glanced at Li Zhen: "Do you think Gandhi is willing to do it by himself, or is he willing to let us march?"
"That's need to say." Li Xiufeng stared at Duan Fei angrily. Suddenly, he patted his forehead, pretended to remember, and said anxiously, "Yes, there is still a piece of land in Calcutta. Remember to bring it back for me."
"Get out of here!"
"Haha." โโ
Yanjing.
In front of the national defense department, the dragon flag fluttered.
The guard held his right hand high, and the salute almost never stopped. Several young interns next to him looked excited.
After the war, everyone has never seen so many generals return at the same time. The fifth general of the Imperial Royal Navy, General Ji Rushan, Lieutenant General Liu Bu toad, Lieutenant General Lin Taizeng, Lieutenant General Dong Fei, Vice Admiral Qin Shou, the submarine commander, Lieutenant General Le Fei, the commander of the Navy Air Force, the new commander of the Fifth Fleet, Lieutenant General Fang Jin, and the commander of the Air Force. Lieutenant General Xue Muhua, Lieutenant General Tian Yun, Army General Zhao Long, Huang Fuqi, Feng Guozhang, Liu Henghui and so on, except for those who were still carrying out withdrawal and other tasks, almost all the imperial generals came, and a long list of generals were shining and dazzling.
Among them, although the army chariots are racing and the air force falcon is fighting in the air, the most eye-catching is still the navy! The Royal Navy not only firmly occupies the number one seat of the three armies of the Empire, but also the only five generals of the empire have occupied three of them, of which Commander Dragon and Commander Ji are both active generals!
From the beginning of the first battle of the Yellow Sea, the Tsar's dream was shattered in the Tsushima Strait, the Bus Strait to challenge the British teacher, the annihilation of the enemy in Micronesia for thousands of miles, the acceptance of the surrender of Japan in Tokyo Bay, the sweep of the world's Third Navy on the West Bilu Island, the assault battle of the Hormuz Strait, etc., until the glory of the imperial counterattack opened. The times!
Chile has built an army thousands of miles away, rooted in Honolulu, and gradually expanded. The Jinghai Plan has a profound impact so far. It has turned to Ryukyu and returned to Liaodong to restart China, until 14 million Chinese ships came out, leading the era!
Until the great victory of Bermuda!
This may not be the most powerful China, but it is the best China.
The emperor said that this is a big era!
Today, a group of people at the peak of this era have returned.
Looking at these many generals with white temples, the young officers straightened up one after another and were in awe. Everyone knew that it was they who broke through the haze for this miserable country, with passionate artillery fire and blood in their chests. In the thorns surrounded by the great powers, they did not say "reason" and "barbarbaric" And the "bloody" abruptly killed a road.
The ancestors said that when you have no way to go, do it like this.
One force drops ten times!
In the eyes of those so-called civilized people, they are quite cruel and unreasonable. They are a group of people gathered around the emperor and "gasoline barrels around the arsonists"!
When all these generals returning, it also indicates that a change is coming!
In the wide corridor, the marble floor is light, and the officers who come and go are in a hurry. Even if everyone knows that the war is over, no one dares to be tired at all.
Duan Qirui and Chen Ping walked side by side, looking at the generals who stepped into the Ministry of Defense building, with both pride and sadness in the corners of their mouths.
The war is over, and the epidemic is under control. The huge army will finally face a major turning point. Millions of soldiers will take off their military uniforms and return to society. In addition to placing these retirees in front of them, they also need to ensure that these retired soldiers will not become a burden to the country.
In addition, how the army continues to develop and how to transform is also a test of their generation.
"Yuanshou, I heard that India has been fighting?" Duan Qirui handed a cigarette to Chen Ping and asked, "What do you think the emperor and the prime minister are going to do?" Why did you provoke the Indian Civil War?
"It's a fight."
"At present, the moderates led by Zina, Tirac and Gandhi have been completely separated. Gandhi took over the position of chairman of the Congress yesterday. At present, he controls several provinces in the south, and Tirac has gone to Delhi and regards it as a base. Jinna hasn't done anything yet, but after receiving our assistance, he has returned to Karachi and accelerated the integration of Muslims in Bangladesh and Hyderabad. According to the information we have received, he has negotiated with Gandhi on the issue of literacy. If the negotiations break down, he will take armed separatist action within half a year at most. "."
After Chen Ping lighted the cigarette, he continued: "The intention of the emperor and the Prime Minister is very simple, which is to constantly consume India, force it to divide and bury more hatred. Therefore, in the future, our focus will gradually shift to India and Russia in addition to the protection of the sea territory."
"But I heard that Gandhi is a typical pacifist and doesn't like violence. Will he?"
"The reason why the sheep is a sheep is that he has no teeth and claws. Now we make up for these two for him. Unless he is willing to watch the party he leads disintegrate, he must stand up and face it, not to mention." Chen Ping blinked his eyes and said, "Most of the people who support Gandhi are workers and local capitalists in the developed areas of the south. They have deep contradictions with the north and Muslims, and the direct hatred between Hindus and Muslims has not stopped for hundreds of years. As long as the army and armed forces are used, do you think hatred can be resolved?
And Duan Fei has brought it. If he doesn't fight, then we will fight in the name of maintaining the stability of India and ensuring the safety of Chinese businessmen on the peninsula! Do you think he, who wants to negotiate with us to establish the country, will be willing to station our army?
"It's a good excuse." Duan Qirui is not a kind-hearted person. He smiled and said, "The longer you fight, the better. At least we can export more weapons."
"The civil war between Spain, India and Russia is currently the most eye-catching region in the world, and it is also an area that we can use. Therefore, the Prime Minister and Parliament yesterday approved a loan plan to provide 100 million blue coins to Alfonso XIII to buy weapons from us, and also approved to provide 50 million loans to Korchak. The plan of the three parties is now in our hands. These three wars in the future can bring us at least 1 billion yuan in profits, which is enough to transform the army without affecting the country's economy!"
"Ha ha, is this the interventionism that the emperor said in those years?"
"Perhaps interventionism." Chen Ping smiled and took the lead in walking to the conference room. As he walked, he said, "Let's go. We still have a war to fight."
