Chapter 1190: Occupy the Indochina Peninsula
In northern Siberia, the sky is already full of ice and snow, and the minimum temperature after night has dropped to below minus 10 degrees, but in the southern Indian Ocean, it is the hottest time of the year, the temperature has been above 26 degrees, and even as high as 30 degrees on some days.
The north raided Chita and won an important node against Siberia, but the south was not idle, with the help of the Lanfang army, after the Sher fleet attacked most of India, it grabbed a lot of resources, and after dealing with it to China, it was richly rewarded, and after a short rest, the fleet was dispatched again.
On the one hand, India was ready, although Britain had no way to add warships to India, but it was impossible to withdraw from the port cities and go deep inland, plus after grabbing it once, it was not possible to get more, they did not choose India, but attacked the French cities in Indochina.
The Indochina Peninsula has been operated by France for many years, and it is also the richest place in France except for the African colonies, but the French warships in Asia have basically been beaten almost away, and there is no way to resist the offensive of the German fleet and the Borneo army.
Unlike India, India is too far away from Borneo and quite far from China, at most it is a robbery, but in the Indochina Peninsula, it is only a matter of time before China and Lanfang are caught between them, and Lanfang cannot let go of this huge and rich territory.
After the establishment of Lanfang, a few months passed. Solved the internal problems, with the help of the northwest. At present, Lanfang has a total of 17 million Chinese, of which. About 60 percent of them are new immigrants from China, and this part of the immigrants is close to 10 million, and under China's coordination, some remote places, or particularly poor, will encourage them to go to Southeast Asia.
However, to Lan Fang's delight, in addition to tens of millions of immigrants, some are Chinese. It's from Southeast Asia. The Chinese in the south, since hundreds of years ago, began to immigrate here, because under the multiple suppression, some are very deep, even if it is a big family, there are some forces hidden in the shadows, the entire Southeast Asia is dotted with islands, various mountain ranges. and inaccessible places, there are also small Chinese villages.
Now that Lan Fang has returned to the country, it has become a benchmark in Southeast Asia, and the Chinese themselves lack a sense of security. When the Chinese in these villages came down the mountain, they gathered together. The number of Chinese has steadily broken through to 5 million. This is also the fundamental reason for the skyrocketing number of Chinese, plus from China. The population of Lan Fang has rapidly risen to a very high level.
Relatively speaking, the more populous natives were purposefully reduced by the Chinese, and the natives themselves were not a complete system, they were divided into various parts, and there was a deep hatred between them, some of them were wiped out, some of them became servitude, and the other part was left to fend for themselves in the harsh islands, and in the end, Lanfang's household registration statistics were made in mid-1916, and the entire Lanfang had a total population of 23 million, of which more than 19 million were Chinese, and the rest of the natives, There are less than 4 million people, and they are divided into more than 30 races of different sizes, and they have really become ethnic minorities.
From summer to winter, the war is going on non-stop, with the support of the Scheer fleet, the occupation of the major ports of the Indochina Peninsula was quickly completed, this time, Lan Fangguo is not to grab a handful and leave, but to completely occupy, different from the development of India, France has been operating Indochina for many years, but the biggest essence is still in the port, after all, in this era, maritime shipping is the mainstream, the port has a natural advantage compared to the city, not only easy to develop, but also the profit is guaranteed, Even if they occupy other areas, they are not very developed, and once the port is captured, they will not even have foreign aid.
The French have not resisted, but the Scheer fleet is too strong compared to Asia, under the bombardment of 15-inch artillery, the defense of any port is like paper paste, and it is not the mainland, the French have always been relatively strong, and they never thought that someone would come to fight him, even if there is a defense in the port, it is a simple, miniaturized defense, maybe it is okay to deal with a fleet like China before, and it is not an opponent at all when it encounters a fleet like Scheer's fleet, which is well classified and has great artillery power. When the defenders were suppressed by heavy artillery, and Lan Fangguo's army rushed ashore bravely, it was all over.
The combat effectiveness of the French army in its own colony is poor, and a large number of them have been transferred to the mainland, and the remaining forces are simply unable to resist the wolf-like Lan Fang army, almost paying a small number of casualties, they occupy strategic targets one by one, and more and more French people are squeezed into the middle, but they have no way, they can't fight, and there is no way to protest, Lan Fang is already part of the allies, and has declared war on Britain, France, the United States and Russia. The French mainland is too far to reach, and the Far East is too far away, so they have the intention of going through China and fleeing from India, but on the Chinese border, a large number of legions are assembled, and they do not attack them, but they defend their territory so tightly that they do not allow the French to pass, that is, they want to trap them here.
Lan Fangguo did not rush to achieve success, steadily occupied one port city after another, did a good job of protection, and took a month or two to stabilize the defense line before continuing the offensive against the French, this time the offensive is no longer to pursue land, but to consume and attack the living forces of France.
In the face of the attack of the Lanfang army, the French were ready to block at the beginning, but the huge gap in strength and weapons and equipment could not be made up for by a single courage, from the very beginning of contact, successive defeats, in November, after losing a colonial division, the entire Indochina Peninsula, the number of French troops was reduced to about 30,000, among them, most of the soldiers were just recruited, and they insisted that they had reached the limit, and even a gun was not enough for each person, weapons and ammunition, logistics supplies or something, Reduced to the lowest level, and finally, as a last resort, the French army, led by the governor and general, surrendered to Lan Fang.
The French also surrendered, following the Dutch in Indonesia and the British in the Strait of Malacca, which was the third, itself intricate Southeast Asian situation, with Lan Fang's efforts, became clear, the fall of Indochina made Indonesia, Indonesia, and Indochina, most of Southeast Asia's territory, combined into a whole, and the only one still in the hands of the Entente was the Philippines.
At this time, the U.S. troops stationed in the Philippines were also a little anxious, the German fleet and the Lanfang Army combined, the common power is huge, which can be seen from the attack on the Indochina Peninsula, the whole war is like a bamboo, it took a few months to clean up the French army in the Indochina Peninsula, according to the previous rhythm, as long as the forces in the Indochina Peninsula are cleaned up, after the Indochina Peninsula is stabilized, they will definitely attack the Philippines, because Lanfang has joined the camp of the Entente countries, and has also declared war on the United States, The two sides went to war without any problems.
The U.S. troops stationed in the Philippines have only 3 divisions, two of which are still the troops urgently mobilized from Guam after Lan Fang joined the Allies, but the 3 divisions of the U.S. Army cannot be compared with the British troops in Malacca and India, let alone the French army. The United States is starting to get anxious, their main fleet is increased in Europe, even if there are no reinforcements, even if there are no reinforcements, it is impossible to send them to Asia, a place where birds don't, in this case, they can only rely on the army.
In the first war in Europe, they have realized that their own strength, and the British and French armies, and even the German army, Lan Fangguo's army, according to the draw between Britain and France, at least will not be much worse than their elite regular army, in this case, even if the regular army is used, it may not be able to please, let alone the colonial army, is it that a bridgehead to control Asia, the Philippines is about to lose.
The core of the Entente is not in Asia, but the situation in Asia, they are still concerned, after reading the map, if the whole of Southeast Asia falls into the hands of Lan Fangguo, then China will no longer have weaknesses.
That's right, it's China, although Lan Fangguo tried to cover it up as much as possible, and they didn't have direct evidence, but Lan Fangguo suddenly had tens of millions of Chinese, as well as their weapons and equipment, industrial system, and even education, all of which require a lot of investment and a long time to have, and now Lan Fang has it overnight, what does this mean, it represents the inextricable connection between them and China.
Another point is that in Lan Fang's activities on the Indochina Peninsula, China has no help, although it is very secretive, but there are some places that cannot be hidden from the discerning people, and they can become the world's powers, they are not blind, how can they not guard against China, encourage Japan and Russia to attack China, victory or defeat for the time being, in short, to drag China's footsteps, in the north has not succeeded, Russia has lost a million troops, but China occupies the important town of Chita, Eastern Siberia is almost in danger of being split in half, and when the time comes, China will occupy a huge maritime territory from Southeast Asia to the Arctic Ocean, and as long as the strength of the shipbuilding industry is put on the fleet, and with the support of Germany, I am afraid that it will be another naval power, and then it will be even more impossible to stop.
Everyone has seen this result, but they can't restrain it, China is far away in East Asia, from the United States, and from Europe, there are thousands of miles of sea borders, which makes China have the best conditions, unless it is to cross the ocean, otherwise it will not threaten China at all.
If you think about it, when China became strong, it only relied on its own strength to suppress the surrounding countries, and it also had such strength.
We can't wait any longer, especially in Europe, the increasingly hot war in Europe, which makes France and Britain miserable, must find a breakthrough, Britain, France and the United States began to discuss European issues, the content of the meeting was kept secret, but then large-scale transfers began to increase. (To be continued.) )
