Vol 5 Chapter 100: ,upgrade

A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? "Your Majesty, the battlefield in Afghanistan has changed, and the British may be unlucky this time!" Chief of Staff Christoph gloated Say
"Are you saying that the British are going to lose? Not so fast. They also have an army of 300,000. The Afghans are a group of militiamen, and they have no training at all.
Even if some weapons and ammunition are smuggled from us, it can't make up for the fact that their weapons are backward! "Ferdinand shook his head and said
"Your Majesty, the current situation on the battlefield is very unfavorable to the British. The terrain in Afghanistan is also very complicated. In the past few months, the British have continuously lost their troops and the number of casualties has exceeded 100,000. A lot of supplies.
Fortunately, what they sent this time was basically cannon fodder, otherwise it would be a question of whether this war can be fought! Christophe explained
Ferdinand nodded, it seems that with the combat power of the British colonial forces, in a special environment, it is really impossible to defeat these militias!
However, they were able to resist the fighting nation for several years in the face of the invasion of the United States and the Soviet Union in later generations, and they really didn't dare to deal with the Asan of this period.
"How did the London government react?" Ferdinand asked concerned.
"Your Majesty, there have been anti-war voices in the United Kingdom. Some MPs think that war expenditures are too large and want to reduce war expenditures!" Foreign Secretary Metjeev replied
"Anti-war is a matter of time, and now the moderates in the UK have the upper hand. It can be said that if it were not for us, they would probably not launch the war in Afghanistan!
Now there is a rebellion in the Southeast Asian colonies. This year, the British war expenditures are estimated to be higher than their financial income, and this situation will continue at least until next year!
What can you do to strengthen the British determination to continue the war? Asked Ferdinand
"Your Majesty, we can put pressure on the British in the Afghan battlefield to make them think that once Afghanistan is abandoned, we will annex the Afghan region, so that they dare not give up lightly!" Foreign Secretary Medev proposed
"This can be done, but you must grasp this degree, don't play, I don't want to really send troops to Afghanistan!" Ferdinand said
"Your Majesty, perhaps you can work public opinion. As long as the people's enthusiasm for war is mobilized, the London government will continue the war!" Chekov suggested.
"It's a good idea, do you have a concrete plan? You know the current anti-war ideology in the UK, but it occupies the mainstream. I am afraid it is not so easy to get them to support the war!" Ferdinand thought for a while.
"Your Majesty, if we only exert our efforts, it will be really difficult to reverse public opinion in the UK. If this task is left to the British main fighters, it may not be that difficult!
We allow intelligence personnel to take some special photos, expose them to the British media, and arouse the hearts of the British people in the same hatred of the enemy! "Chekov thought for a while and said
"You can give it a try. In fact, if it's just photos, you can go to the Royal Film Company and let them create the content you want!
Take the picture a little blurry, and then poke it to the London media, remember that this must not have anything to do with us! "Ferdinand thought for a while and said
Playing with fake photos in this era, as long as the pictures are a little blurry, it is really difficult to distinguish the authenticity. With the media's ethics, even if there are doubts, they will hype themselves in order to create topics.
As long as the fire is lighted up, the British main fighters will be sent to charge forward. It is a pity that Mr. Churchill is not in London now, otherwise there would be no need to worry about public opinion issues.
But letting Mr. Churchill command the counter-insurgency army in Southeast Asia will bring even greater trouble to the British Empire.
After all, in this time and space, the Dardanelles did not break out, and there was no epic defeat. Mr. Churchill’s military command ability has not yet been fully exposed. As a colonial minister in this period, he can command this counterinsurgency war. .
This is also caused by the British system. The top ranks of the military are held by civilian officials, who have very low say in this country.
These front-line generals, even if they know that there is a problem with the order, they must execute the order first, even if they apply to the War Department, it is useless.
Civil and military disputes exist in any country. The Royal Navy of the British Empire still has some say, and the army is raised by stepmothers. This was doomed since they hanged Charles I!
...
When Ferdinand calculated the British Empire, the situation in Southeast Asia has undergone new changes. With the secret support of the Japanese military, a large number of retired Japanese soldiers have entered Southeast Asian countries.
They appeared in the rebels as military instructors, and they didn't weigh themselves down with more debts. Since the British said that they were supporting the Southeast Asian rebellion and moved their cheese, then they really supported it.
In addition, there is also an army composed entirely of Japanese expatriates. They are not many in number, but their combat effectiveness is very strong. With the same strength, the British army really can't help it.
But these subtle changes, Mr. Churchill did not notice at all, watching the increasing reinforcements day by day, he was calculating when to start a major counterattack.
This is not over yet. The Japanese Navy has formulated a sunset plan, that is, by supporting the local insurgents, attacking the British military port Singapore in the Southeast Asia from land, and then seizing the British warships in the port.
It is estimated that this fabulous plan can be made by the Japanese, and probably every Japanese soldier is a superman, otherwise this plan is estimated to be difficult to complete.
This is nothing. The sunset plan of the War Department is even more powerful. They intend to allow Japanese officers and soldiers who sneaked into Southeast Asia to use the insurgents to overthrow the British rule, establish independent countries, and then turn these countries into Japanese colonies.
This new version of the colonial plan not only covers the Southeast Asia, but also Burma, Laos, Vietnam, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and other regions are also within the scope of their plan.
To complete this cross-age plan, it is impossible to complete the mission without equipping Japanese soldiers with Gundam. By the way, a mind control instrument is also included, otherwise the insurgents cannot be mastered.
This Secondary Two Plan has not only been formulated, but is also being implemented. Many Japanese officers and soldiers in Southeast Asia are loyal supporters of this plan.
Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, at least the British trouble has already begun. Japan's influence in Southeast Asia is not small. Especially after the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese government regards itself as Asian liberators, although I see who they liberated!
If Mr. Churchill carefully counts, he will find that the entire Nanyang region has added thousands of retired Japanese officers and soldiers. If the retired officers and soldiers of the Japanese expatriates are added together, this number may be over 10,000.
Of course, this is scattered, mixed with Southeast Asian indigenous people with a population of over 100 million, and there is really no spray at all, but the consequences of completion are terrible.
On November 2, 1926, after the fall of Sumatra, the Dutch territory in Borneo also fell. The Dutch counter-insurgency plan ended in failure.
Originally, the Dutch were fighting against the rebels. Under normal circumstances, as long as the battle was won, it would take a few months to eliminate the rebels in Borneo.
It's a pity that the Dutch chased too hard this time, and they pulled the front a little too deep. At the last moment, the rebels from the British colony next door suddenly rushed over and stabbed the Dutch from the flank and were flanked. The Dutch army suffered a crushing defeat.
The seven infantry divisions of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in this campaign totaled 110,000 counterinsurgency troops. When they finally successfully retreated to the island of Java, there were fewer than 30,000 remaining.
This battle directly awakened the Kingdom of the Netherlands, letting them understand that the British Empire is still the British Empire that pitted their teammates, and they dared to send troops together with Mr. Churchill to fight the rebellion. Isn't this looking for death?
The loss of 80,000 troops in World War I, plus the loss of troops that put down the rebellion back and forth, the Kingdom of the Netherlands has already put up 15 troops for the Indonesian colony. This is already a pain for a country with a population of less than 6 million. Move the bones.
Therefore, in addition to sticking to the island of Java, where the insurgents have been wiped out, the Kingdom of the Netherlands has decided to temporarily abandon areas such as Borneo and Sumatra, while also not forgetting to protest to the London government.
Taking the opportunity to hack the Dutch part of Borneo is not within the scope of Mr. Churchill's plan. The British Empire is so rich that it doesn't care about that territory.
But things have already happened. The Dutch are also creating a public opinion offensive in Europe. The London government is under great pressure. After being forced to promise to put down the rebellion, it will not invade the Dutch Borneo.
However, the cabinet is even more dissatisfied with Mr. Churchill who has caused trouble. If it is a pitfall, it will be enough, but the Kingdom of the Netherlands is the younger brother of the British Empire in Europe?
You even your own little brother, and still use such inferior methods, do anyone dare to follow you?
It can be said that affected by this, the British Empire's international reputation has lost a section. When all countries cooperate with them, they can't help but guard against them.
Of course, Mr. Churchill was wronged. As a political strongman, it is impossible for him to make this kind of mistake. The Kingdom of the Netherlands is raising the flag for the British Empire internationally. This effect is not comparable to that of most of Borneo.
However, as a military novice, it is very normal to make such mistakes. His army deployment has not been considered at all. The rebels in Malaysia will unite with the Indonesian rebels.
He also forgot that they lived on an island, and they were connected to each other. In addition, the Japanese pierced the needle through it, which contributed to this military cooperation.
After several rebels joined forces to overthrow the Dutch, they immediately returned to Malaysia. The British troops who had not yet reacted were directly defeated.
This is also impossible. The Supreme Commander, Mr. Churchill, was too busy. He had to deal with the political consequences of the Dutch losing the Indonesian part of Borneo, so he accidentally ignored the Malaysian region on the other side of Borneo.
Without his order, the people below could not mobilize the army, so the part of the troops in Borneo Malaysia is still an Australian division, a New Zealand division and four Indian divisions.
When the rebels came, they realized that it was too late. This is the Southeast Asia, not the British mainland. It is not easy for Mr. Churchill to increase his troops in a short time.
If it's a few regiments, he can send it up in a day or two. Unfortunately, the number of reinforcements needed now is tens of thousands, and personnel and materials need time to be deployed.
However, Mr. Churchill still sent reinforcements out. Presumably in his impression, with the firepower of the rebels, it was a very easy question to stand by for reinforcements.
It is a pity that the rebels who have defeated the Dutch are now completely reborn. Both weapons and equipment and the combat effectiveness of soldiers have undergone qualitative changes.
Coupled with the Japanese instructors' leadership to inspire morale, and Mr. Churchill had not reacted, several Indian divisions were defeated one after another, leaving the New Zealand division and the Australian division to resist.
That is to say, Mr. Churchill was able to accept this result, and any normal army commander knew that this was a very low-level military error.
Even if you stand still and wait for aid, you must concentrate your troops to stand by. You have ordered to stay in place and wait for aid. Do you know the distribution of troops on the front line?
Therefore, as the cannon fodder in the cannon fodder, the Indian division has always been fully in front and enjoyment in the back, and naturally became the earliest victim.
The New Zealand Division and the Australian Division in the rear took advantage of their little time to build a simple defensive offensive and resisted the rebel attack.
That's all, the very nervous Mr. Churchill did not change the previous reinforcement plan. In his opinion, the rebels are a mob. As long as they don't go deep into the jungle, British soldiers can be one enemy three in the field.
The rebels on the island seemed to be cooperating with his actions and directly put the reinforcements up without taking any action.
After failing to break the British defense line in the first round, he withdrew back, waiting for the British to counterattack.
There is no doubt that these seemingly unruly deployments are in line with the actual situation of the rebel army.
The coastal areas are all areas where British warships can operate. The insurgents have neither air force nor shore artillery. What else can they do besides getting bombed?
Isn't it good to wait for the enemy to come? Why are you going to die?
It doesn't matter if you can't win or not. You can go into the valley. As long as the British dare to chase in, you don't have to think about going out. U U Reading www.uukanshu.com
The Battle of Borneo played out the awe-inspiring and prestige of the rebels, inspired the rebels suppressed by the British everywhere, and proved that the white army can also be defeated by them.
At the same time, it also aroused the ambitions of the Japanese. They suddenly discovered that the European countries were so weak. The Dutch army could not beat a rabble of indigenous troops, and the combat effectiveness of the British army was so rubbish!
In this case, they are unable to protect this vast colony, and should be inherited by the mighty Great Japanese Empire.
The reports of these officers were passed on to Tokyo, and the careerists who had been unable to bear it were now even more uncontrollable.
There are gold, copper mines, rubber, and oil... Almost all the resources needed by this empire can be found here, and the owner here has indeed fallen to Europe, which even the indigenous people cannot win. people!
The capture of Southeast Asia for the Japanese Empire has become a new dream for the second and second young people in Japan!
In this context, various small-scale uprisings in Southeast Asia are constantly erupting. The British army, which is preparing to launch a major counteroffensive, has to consolidate the rear first so as not to give the rebels a chance.
This colonial uprising in Southeast Asia has gradually transformed from a purely national independence movement to a political game between Britain and Japan.
Ferdinand's goal was achieved. In the short term, it was impossible for the British Empire to withdraw from Southeast Asia, unless the Royal Navy directly defeated the Japanese Navy and defeated the Japanese military's ambitions in Southeast Asia.
The British may tolerate the independent establishment of a nation in Southeast Asia. These small countries cannot threaten the world hegemony of the British Empire; but they absolutely cannot tolerate the Japanese robbing their colonies. This is the bottom line of the British Empire!
