Indochina is an important French colony in Asia. How could France be willing to be occupied by the Renaissance Army?
When they were driven out of the entire Indochina Peninsula, they had been planning revenge.
So they formed this powerful expeditionary coalition.
And they also pulled in England and the Netherlands.
Because this time France has to deal with not only the Renaissance Army of Annan, but also the Ares Group.
It is precisely because of this that England and the Netherlands will get involved.
The reason is very simple. The existence of the Ares Group threatens them.
For the Netherlands, there is no need to say more.
Borneo is the core of Java and a famous oil-producing area.
It is also an extremely important source of their economy.
The Ares Group forcibly occupied this place and has been expanding its production capacity and building new refineries.
The scale of mining is several times larger than before.
Most of the refined oil was sent to China to earn a lot of money.
This made the Netherlands feel distressed.
But they did not have the ability to take it back.
And England was also very simple.
At the end of last year, a small"863" scale resistance force appeared in Myanmar.
It is called the Myanmar Independence Army.
It claims to be anti-imperialist and anti-colonial, and wants to use force to recover Myanmar from England.
At first, this small Myanmar Independence Army was not taken seriously.
Because they only had a few hundred people.
Although the number of British colonial troops stationed in Myanmar is not large, there are more than 10,000 people. Together with the indigenous troops, there are more than 40,000 troops.
However, this time the British fell.
This resistance force is not only well-equipped, but also extremely powerful in combat, and is very good at jungle warfare.
In this battle, they killed and wounded more than 2,000 British colonial troops and indigenous troops. They defeated the first wave of British offensive at a very small cost.
This immediately made this Myanmar Independence Army famous in the Myanmar area.
Subsequently, the scale of this Myanmar Independence Army expanded rapidly.
At this time, the British discovered that the Ares Group was actually behind this Myanmar Independence Army.
Their weapons and equipment were provided by this Ares Group.
What's more, the other side actually sent a large mercenary army to help the Burmese Independence Army.
When they encircled and suppressed the Burmese Independence Army for the second time, they defeated their offensive again.
In this battle, they suffered more than 5,000 casualties.
The Burmese Independence Army also took advantage of the situation to occupy Angguang and the Mon State, Karen State, and Irrawaddy Region in the southern region.
It occupied almost one-third of the territory of Burma.
At this time, the Burmese Independence Army's troops had expanded to more than 10,000 people.
The key to the failure of this battle was the Ares mercenaries who suddenly joined the battlefield.
Immediately, England was furious.
In the eyes of England, who was known as the world's number one, the Ares Group was just an ant that could be crushed to death at any time. It was not even a country, but just a small private armed force occupying Borneo.
It dared to snatch food from them in the tiger's mouth.
So England said that it would eliminate the Ares Group entrenched in Borneo.
This wave of publicity made the Ares Group famous in the West again.
It also made more people around the world pay attention to this force.
At least in the international community, the Ares Group is already well-known.
The other party actually dared to provoke the British Empire. This courage must be said to be really big.
And the Ares Group also responded.
This is their normal business behavior, and there is no behavior of actively provoking England.
If England dares to take the initiative to start a war.
Then their Ares Group will fight to the end.
Until England is willing to come to the negotiation table.
Walton Borg's domineering speech once again caused a wave of waves.
But more people regarded it as a joke.
Sure enough, Downing Street felt a great provocation.
So England, France, and the Netherlands came together.
Organized a large-scale expeditionary coalition.
The Netherlands knew that this opportunity was rare, so it also took out its family assets.
It sent three divisions of troops to join the coalition. At the same time, it also sent two local cruisers and three destroyers to join the coalition.
And England was really angry this time.
Not only did they dispatch the Far East Fleet, but they also mobilized more than 60,000 people to participate in the war.
You know, the current Far East Fleet of England has a powerful maritime force of two battlecruisers and a Nelson battleship.
France sent out a 100,000-man expeditionary force.
The maritime force consists of a battleship, two cruisers and six destroyers.
Although France has been in decline since World War I and its economic situation is very bad.
But the French Navy is already one of the top maritime forces in the world.
So far, the French Navy has a total tonnage of 430,000 tons.
The battleship sent out is the modernized Provence battleship.
With a full load displacement of 27,000 tons and a maximum speed of 20 knots, it is equipped with 5 340mm twin-mounted main guns, a total of 10 340mm main guns and 22 138mm secondary guns.
Counting the new Far East Fleet of England, it is definitely a powerful maritime force in the Far East.
Two battleships, two battlecruisers and dozens of other ships. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
The strength should not be underestimated.
Therefore, all countries are not optimistic about the Ares Group.
As for Annan's Restoration Army, they don't take it seriously at all.
Although it is said to have more than 100,000 people, how can the indigenous monkeys be the opponent of the armies of the great powers?
However, the current Ares Group is not the Ares Group of the past.[]
Currently, in terms of the army, Ares Group has a total of 10 brigades.
Among them, there is only one armored brigade and two mechanized infantry brigades.
The remaining 7 are jungle combat brigades and motorized infantry brigades.
The total strength of the army is as high as more than 70,000 people.
If two marines and two airborne brigades are included, the total strength exceeds 100,000.
This is definitely an extremely powerful armed force in Southeast Asia.
Then there is the air force.
Ares Group has always maintained a scale of 500 fighter jets.
However, with the upgrade of the base, their fighter jets have also been updated...........
Of course, they are not equipped with jet fighters, but still have propeller fighters.
P-51K fighter、A-1 Skyraider attack aircraft、C-124 Ball Overlord Transport Plane、B-29 strategic bombers, etc.
The navy is also equipped with American ships.
In addition to more than 20 Gearing-class destroyers.
It is also equipped with Cleveland-class cruisers, Baltimore-class heavy cruisers, Iowa-class battleships and Essex-class aircraft carriers. There are
8 Cleveland-class cruisers, 4 Baltimore-class heavy cruisers, 2 Iowa-class battleships, and 1 Essex-class aircraft carrier.
There are also 16 Type 21 submarines.
This is all the armed forces of the Ares Group now.
This armed force is comparable to that of a second-rate Western industrial country. It can also be ranked at the forefront among the second-rate.
The Ares Group was just a chess move arranged by Jiang Fan before.
Now its importance has been reflected.
In the future, the Ares Group will be the main means for China to control the entire Southeast Asia region.
Let Ares rush to the forefront of anti-colonialism.
To attract the firepower of Western powers.
Then drive them out of Southeast Asia.
In this way, China can control the entire Southeast Asia without any effort and turn it into its own backyard.
Chinese culture and Southeast Asian culture have a lot in common.
Even the culture of some Southeast Asian countries originated from Chinese culture. With the help of the Southeast Asian sub-base, it is easy to control the economy and military of Southeast Asian countries.
As long as you hold the gun and the money bag, they can't jump.
With Southeast Asia as a dumping ground for industrial products,
China's light and heavy industries can develop rapidly.
"Commander, now the forces of the three-nation coalition are all concentrated on the Malay Peninsula. What should we do?"
Walton Borg asked Jiang Fan through the sub-base.
Looking at Walton Borg on the virtual screen in front of him, Jiang Fan thought for a moment.
"This is a great opportunity for the Ares Group.
With the current strength, are you sure to defeat the three-nation coalition?"
Walton Borg said confidently:"Although they have some advantages in terms of manpower, I am in the dark and they are in the light.
We also have the advantage in equipment, and we are at least 90% sure of defeating them."
Jiang Fan nodded and said:"Then kill them and eliminate the imperialist forces from Southeast Asia."
""Yes, Commander."
Walton Borg suddenly thought of something, and after a moment's hesitation, he asked,"Commander, you said you wanted to update our weapons and equipment, but there is no rush. With the performance of our current equipment, it is completely sufficient."
Hearing this, Jiang Fan understood what he meant.
He said there was no rush, but in fact, he was reminding him.
Jiang Fan could see his little thoughts.
"Don't worry, it can be done within a month."
Now the Ares Group can provide China with more than 20 million US dollars worth of cash, gold, oil, etc. through various channels every quarter. That
's hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
This is not a small amount.
