Expedition to Europe

Considering that British Malaya was very close to the Lanfang mainland, the Lanfang Air Force used the inferior "Eagle" instead of the latest "Kangaroo" to bomb Singapore and Jakarta.

The "Eagle" bomber was Lanfang's first bomber with a load capacity of 5,000 kilograms. There were seven crew members on board. In addition to the main pilot, co-pilot, navigator and bombardier, the other four were machine gunners. They had to operate the eight machine guns and cannons installed on the "Eagle", giving the "Eagle" a certain degree of self-defense capability.

On the bombing of July 23, a total of 11 Eagles were shot down, that is, 77 crew members were trapped in British Malaya. Considering that machine gunners cannot parachute, there should be 33 people who may survive.

The bomber gunner is really the most dangerous profession. They can only stay in a very small space on the plane, and it is difficult to turn around. Therefore, once the plane has an accident, it is difficult for the machine gunner to survive.

Lan Fang had been prepared for this, so at the beginning of the war, the Lan Fang military sent more than ten teams to sneak into British Malaya in advance, and with the cooperation of local intelligence organizations, prepared to rescue the air force pilots trapped in the enemy's position.

After the war started on the morning of the 23rd, these teams did prepare to rescue pilots in Singapore and Jakarta according to the predetermined plan. Unfortunately, their mission was not successful. There were indeed Lan Fang air force pilots who jumped out of the sky, but they escaped the fate of being bombed, but they could not escape the pursuit of the British ground forces.

Of course, considering the nature of the Malays, there may be civilians involved.

The attitude of the Malays towards Lan Fang is not friendly. Although the population structure of British Malaya is still mostly Chinese, in the long-term demonization propaganda of the United Kingdom, the image of Lan Fang in British Malaya is really not good.

In fact, even if the British colonial government did not slander the Lan Fang government, the Chinese in British Malaya would not go to Lan Fang.

When the Lan Fang government was founded, it liquidated the plantation owners in Southeast Asia who relied on exploiting the Chinese for their livelihood. Unfortunately, it was those Chinese plantation owners who hated the Chinese workers the most. The situation in British Malaya was particularly serious. Those Chinese farmers in British Malaya knew that the Lan Fang government would never let them go, so those who could go to Lan Fang had gone there early. Those who are still in British Malaya are all following the British wholeheartedly.

To be honest, when Qin Zhiyuan heard the news, he was angry, of course, but he didn't feel much surprise.

It just so happened that Qin Zhiyuan and Dylan Connor talked about humanitarianism, so Qin Zhiyuan had a breakthrough: "Dylan, you see, it's not that I don't want to implement humanitarianism, but I don't think it's necessary to implement humanitarianism for such barbarians."

"No, no, no, Your Majesty, we don't bite back when we are bitten by a dog on the street." Dylan Connor still wanted to persuade Qin Zhiyuan.

"Of course I won't bite back--" Qin Zhiyuan looked at Dylan Connor strangely, making Dylan Connor a little embarrassed, as if Dylan Connor would bite back: "But I will kill the dog to prevent it from biting other people again!"

This method is also quite straightforward. Dylan Connor opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything.

Since that's the case, then we won't be polite. So Qin Zhiyuan waved his hand and the 1st Armored Division and the 14th and 15th Infantry Divisions of Siam, which had already assembled in the Padang area of ​​Jinzhou, immediately set out to launch a ground attack on British Malaya from the north and south.

Of course, while attacking on the ground, the air bombing did not stop. This time the air force was even more brutal. No matter how many balloons the British made on the ground, the bombers of the Lan Fang Air Force didn't care about it at all. After flying over Lion City and Jakarta, the Lan Fang bombers just dropped bombs down, regardless of whether they would bomb military targets or other civilian areas or civilian areas.

Anyway, the British had been operating in Shicheng and Jakarta for hundreds of years, and these two cities left too many British marks. If Lan Fang occupied these two cities, they would definitely demolish and rebuild them. It would be easier to blow them up now.

There are basically no ancient monuments in Lan Fang. In Surabaya, Coconut City, or other areas, no buildings originally built by the Dutch can be found. Instead, there are only Chinese classical buildings and modern high-rise buildings, and there are no relics for people to visit. Qin Zhiyuan did not think that retaining a colonial-style area in the city would increase the diversity of the city. That would only be a shame for Lan Fang, not a glory.

Just when Lan Fang launched a large-scale attack on British Malaya, Coconut City welcomed a group of special guests.

They were all refugees from French Indochina.

After France declared war on Germany, the order in French Indochina collapsed rapidly within ten days. The colonial army was almost disbanded, and the government agencies were besieged. The French living in French Indochina suddenly found that French Indochina was no longer a paradise for colonization, but a jungle full of dangers. So the French living in French Indochina evacuated one after another. Their first choice was not to return to France, but to Lan Fang.

This choice is very interesting. Perhaps these French people still hope that French Indochina will be able to restore normal order in the future and they can return home, but subconsciously they no longer trust the French government, but place their hopes on the Lan Fang government. This choice is a bit interesting.

The Lan Fang government did not reject the asylum applications of these French people. In addition to the traditional friendship between Lan Fang and France, the more consideration was to exert influence on the French government. Of course, there were also some considerations of economic interests. In addition to some French people escaping from Saigon I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to follow suit In addition to carrying their belongings and living in relief stations, most French people carry valuable belongings with them. Some French people even directly buy houses and land in Coconut City or Palembang, pretending to live there for a long time. For these people Of course, the Lanfang government will not refuse, and will even welcome it very much.

On July 26, the 1st Armored Division of the Lanfang Army, which set out from Jinzhou, landed on the Malay Peninsula. The British army deployed three British divisions and two British Malayan Servant Divisions on the Malay Peninsula, as well as four Indian division, with a total strength of more than 150,000.

The ground troops used by Lanfang for the offensive were only three divisions with less than 50,000 men. There was a big gap with the British army. However, the British army, which lacked armored troops, could not compete with the tank troops of the 1st Armored Division. The strength of the 1st Armored Division In the face of the advance, the British resistance was like a mantis trying to block a car, and could not even slow down the advance speed of the 1st Armored Division.

Objectively speaking, the British tactics are also improving. After the last World War, everyone realized the cruelty of trench warfare and was no longer willing to invest their limited manpower in the flesh-and-blood mill of trench warfare. Armored troops became the battlefield the dominant force.

In fact, when studying weapons, the British prefer big, thick and black weapons. Whether it is a battleship or a tank, the British always hope to have thicker armor and stronger firepower. As a result, an inevitable consequence is that almost all British tanks are It was a heavy tank, and the terrain in British Malaya was complex. It is complex, with dense water nets, swamps everywhere, and virgin forests everywhere. In such an environment, heavy tanks are really not as useful as light tanks or heavy tanks. In addition, the British production capacity is limited, and the only heavy tanks are also limited in number. Insufficient, let alone organizing the attack of Lanfang army.

In fact, by July 26, the British had already expressed their intention to evacuate British Malaya. At this time, the results of the Battle of Sardinia had spread throughout the world, and the British concentrated nearly half of the British navy's capital ships. Attacked Sardinia, but before reaching Sardinia, they were suddenly attacked by the Lanfang Air Force. All three aircraft carriers in the British fleet were sunk. Among them, the "Glorious" was sunk by the British themselves.

Among the six battleships in the British fleet, the flagship "HMS Hood" battleship and the "Repulse" battleship were severely damaged and had to be towed back to the shipyard for overhaul. The "Centurion" battleship and the "HMS Reputation" battleship were sunk, and the others More than half of the heavy cruisers and light cruisers were lost.

Although they paid such a heavy price, the British still failed to capture Sardinia. The last remaining ground crew on Sardinia had already boarded speedboats and were preparing to go to Corsica. As a result, when the air force arrived, they repelled the British. News from the military fleet.

This result immediately shocked the whole world. Everyone had to re-examine Lanfang's strength. Lanfang, who had a powerful air force, showed combat effectiveness that was almost impossible to defeat before the air forces of other countries grew up. And The Lanfang Air Force will not rest on its laurels, and will continue to make progress. Considering the advantages that the Lanfang Air Force currently has, the gap between the air forces of other countries and the Lanfang Air Force will not only not narrow, but will further expand.

When the war reached this level, even the British themselves felt that the war could not continue. In order to ensure the British army's superiority on home soil, the British had to abandon British Malaya and were even prepared to abandon India and use all their effective forces to Withdrew to the British mainland and pinned its hopes on a decisive battle with Lanfang on the mainland.

It is a pity that the actions of Lanfang's army were unexpectedly fast by the British. Before the British had time to evacuate the Malay Peninsula, Lanfang's army had already launched an attack, which made it impossible for the British troops on the Malay Peninsula to escape.

On August 1, the British Governor in British Malaya, Nick William, announced his surrender. Lanfang captured 100,000 prisoners, including 40,000 British people.

If this war can be counted as World War II, then September is the turning point of World War II. On September 15th, King Lewis Ibrahim of Egypt announced Egypt’s participation in the war, but it was Lan Fangfang.

After announcing its participation in the war, Egypt blocked the Suez Canal, and the Lanfang Task Force with Djibouti and Little Aden blocked the British Far East Fleet in the Suez Canal in the Red Sea. On September 25, the British Expeditionary Fleet ran out of ammunition and food. Surrender, and at the same time more than 200,000 Indian servants surrendered, which was the last capital of the British.

On September 26, Bastian, the commander of the French Foreign Legion, launched a mutiny in Paris. French President Gaston Doumergue, who had been in office for less than three months, was ousted by the soldiers of the Foreign Legion. The French Parliament subsequently announced the election of Pierre. Pierre Foch became President of France, and Pierre Foch immediately announced his withdrawal from the war.

"The facts that have happened in the past two months are too dizzying -" In the Penglai Island Palace, Foch was sitting on a lounge chair on the balcony chatting with Qin Zhiyuan with a cup of tea.

"Who says it's not the case - two months ago, I'm afraid no one would have thought that the British would take the initiative to seek peace." Qin Zhiyuan was drinking wine. Unlike Foch, who was already old, Qin Zhiyuan was in good health. This kind of It's time to have a drink.

"What should the world in your imagination be like?" Bastien, who had been declared dead by suicide by the French government, was also holding a drink with extremely peaceful eyes.

"I don't know either -" Qin Zhiyuan actually didn't take a few sips, but he already felt a little smokey: "But I think war should not be the main theme of the world, and confrontation should not be the main theme. We should work together in cooperation. Progress, of course taking into account the interests between different groups, the world should It is full of competition. In fact, I really hope that one day I can go to the moon and take a look. The world is always only so big, and the living space is only so small. If we want to live a better life, then we should open up a broader space. Living space, where is the direction we move forward.”

The direction of Qin Zhiyuan's finger is the sky.
