Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Genius to remember the address of this site in one second: (Top Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? "Your Majesty, the battlefield in Afghanistan has changed, and the British are probably going to be unlucky this time!" Chief of Staff Christoph gloated. Say

"You mean the British are going to lose? Not so fast, they have 300,000 troops anyway, and the Afghans are just a group of militias, and they don't have much training at all.

Even if some weapons and ammunition are smuggled from us, it will not make up for the fact that their weapons and equipment are backward! ' said Ferdinand, shaking his head.

"Your Majesty, the current situation on the battlefield is very unfavorable for the British, and the terrain in Afghanistan is very complicated. In the past few months, the British have lost their troops continuously, and the number of casualties has exceeded 100,000. Lots of supplies.

Fortunately, the people they sent this time were basically cannon fodder, otherwise, whether the war could go on or not would be a problem! ' Christophe explained

Ferdinand nodded, it seemed that with the combat effectiveness of the British colonial troops, in a special environment, they really couldn't win against these militiamen!

In the face of the invasion of the United States and the Soviet Union in later generations, they were able to resist the fighting nation for several years, and they really did not hesitate to deal with Asan in this period.

"What's the response of the London government?" Ferdinand asked with concern

"Your Majesty, there are already anti-war voices in the UK. Some MPs think that war expenses are too high and want to cut war expenses!" Foreign Minister Metev replied.

"Anti-war is a matter of time. Now the moderates in the UK have the upper hand. It can be said that if we hadn't pushed the hand, it is estimated that they would not have started the war in Afghanistan!

Now the Southeast Asian colonial rebellion has broken out. This year, the British people's war expenditure is 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 resolve of the British to continue the war? ' asked Ferdinand

"Your Majesty, in Afghanistan, we can put pressure on the British to think that once they give up Afghanistan, we will annex Afghanistan, so that they will not dare to give up lightly!" Foreign Minister Metev proposed.

"This can be done, but we must grasp this degree and stop playing. I don't want to really send troops to Afghanistan!" Ferdinand said.

"Your Majesty, perhaps you can work hard on public opinion. As long as the people's enthusiasm for war is mobilized, the London government will continue to carry on the war!" Chekov suggested.

"The idea is good, do you have a specific plan? You must know that the anti-war ideology in the UK now occupies the mainstream. I am afraid it is not so easy to get them to support the war!" Ferdinand thought for a while and said.

"Your Majesty, if we only exert our efforts, it is indeed difficult to reverse British public opinion. This work may not be so difficult if it is handed over to the British main war faction!

We have allowed intelligence officers to take some special photos, which will be exposed by the British media and arouse the hearts of the British people who share the same hatred! ' Chekov thought for a while.

"Try it, actually if it's just photos, you can go to Royal Films and let them make what you want!

Take the photo a little bit blurry, and then stab the media in London, remember this must not have anything to do with us! ' Ferdinand thought for a while and said

In this era, fake photos are played. As long as the pictures are blurred, it is really difficult to identify the authenticity. With the integrity of the media, even if they are suspicious, they will hype them up in order to create a topic.

As long as the fire is lit, the British main war will be sent to charge in the back. It is a pity that Mr Churchill is not in London now, otherwise there would be no need to worry about public opinion.

But letting Mr Churchill command the anti-insurgency army in Southeast Asia would cause even more trouble for the British Empire.

After all, in this time and space, the Dardanelles battle did not break out, and there was no epic defeat. Mr. Churchill's military command ability has not been fully exposed. As the colonial minister during this period,

He can command this counterinsurgency war completely.

This is also caused by the British system. The highest level of the army is held by civilian officers, and officers have a very low voice in the country.

These generals on the front line, even if they know that there is a problem with the order, they must execute the order first, even if they apply to the Ministry of War, it is useless.

Civil and military disputes exist in any country. There is still some say in the Royal Navy of the British Empire, and the Army is raised by the stepmother. This has been doomed since they hanged Charles I!

...

When Ferdinand was calculating the British Empire, the situation in Southeast Asia changed again. With the secret support of the Japanese military, a large number of retired Japanese officers and soldiers entered Southeast Asian countries.

They appeared among the rebels as military instructors, and they were in debt. Since the British said they were supporting the Southeast Asian rebellion and moved their cheese, then they really supported it.

In addition, there is an army composed entirely of Japanese expatriates. They are not many in number, but their combat effectiveness is very strong. Under the same force, the British army can't really shout.

However, Mr. Churchill did not notice these subtle changes at all. Looking at the increasing reinforcements day by day, he was figuring out when to start the big counterattack.

This is not the end, the Japanese navy has already formulated a sunset plan, namely: by propping up the local insurgent army, attacking the British military port Singapore in the Southeast Asian region from the land, and then capturing the British warships in the port.

This mythical plan is estimated to be able to be formulated by the Japanese. Probably every Japanese soldier is a superman, otherwise this plan is estimated to be difficult to complete.

This is nothing, the Ministry of War's sunset plan is even more powerful. They plan to let Japanese officers and soldiers sneak into Southeast Asia to use the rebel army to overthrow the British rule, establish independent countries, and then turn these countries into Japanese colonies.

This new version of the colonial plan is not only in the Southeast Asia region, but also in Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and other regions, but also within the scope of their plans.

To complete this cross-era plan, it is impossible to complete the task without equipping the Japanese soldiers with Gundams. By the way, a mind controller must be attached, otherwise, the insurgent army will not be mastered.

This secondary plan has not only been formulated, but also implemented. Many Japanese officers and soldiers in Southeast Asia are loyal supporters of this plan.

No matter whether it succeeds or not, at least the troubles for the British have begun, and Japan's influence in Southeast Asia is not small, especially after the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese government regarded itself as the liberator of Asia, although we can see who they liberated!

If Mr. Churchill made a serious count, he would find that thousands of Japanese retired officers and soldiers have been added to the entire Nanyang region. If the retired officers and soldiers of the Japanese expatriates are added together, the number may exceed 10,000.

Of course, this is scattered and mixed among the Southeast Asian indigenous people with a population of over 100 million. There is really no wave at all, but the consequences of completion are terrifying.

On November 2, 1926, after the fall of Sumatra, the territory of the Netherlands in Borneo was also completely occupied, and the Dutch counterinsurgency plan ended in failure.

Originally, the Dutch were fighting the rebels. Under normal circumstances, as long as this battle was won, it would take a few more months to eliminate the rebels in Borneo.

It's a pity that the Dutch chased a little too hard this time, and pulled the front line too deep. At the last moment, the rebels from the British colony next door suddenly came over, stabbed the Dutch from the flank, and were attacked. The Dutch army suffered a crushing defeat.

In this campaign, there were seven infantry divisions of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, a total of 110,000 counter-insurgent troops, and when they finally successfully retreated to Java Island, there were less than 30,000 people left.

This battle directly awakened the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and made them understand that the British Empire was still the British Empire that pitted its teammates, and they dared to send troops together with Mr. Churchill to suppress the rebellion. Isn't this courting death?

The loss of 80,000 troops in World War I, plus the loss of troops to quell the rebellion before and after, the Kingdom of the Netherlands has set up 15 troops for the Indonesian colony, which is already a wound for this country with a population of less than 6 million. boned.

Therefore, in addition to sticking to the island of Java, which has eliminated the rebels, the Kingdom of the Netherlands decided to temporarily abandon Borneo and Sumatra and other areas, and at the same time did not forget 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 at all. The British Empire is rich and doesn't care about that bit of territory at all.

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 quell the rebellion, it will not invade the Dutch Borneo, and it will come to an end.

However, the cabinet is even more dissatisfied with Mr. Churchill, who has caused trouble. If it is a pit opponent, that's all. But the Kingdom of the Netherlands is the younger brother of the British Empire in Europe?

You are a fool even for your own little brother, and you still use such inferior means, how can anyone dare to follow you?

It can be said that affected by this, the international reputation of the British Empire has lost a section, and all countries can't help but guard against them when they cooperate with them.

Of course, Mr. Churchill was wronged. As a political strongman, it is impossible for him to make such a mistake. The Kingdom of the Netherlands cheers for the British Empire internationally. This role is not comparable to most of Borneo.

However, as a military novice, it is very normal for this kind of error to occur. His army deployment has not been considered at all. The rebels in Malaysia will join forces with the Indonesian rebels.

He also forgot that people lived on an island and were connected to each other. In addition, the Japanese threaded a needle through it, which led to this military cooperation.

After several rebels united to overthrow the Dutch, they immediately returned to Malaysia. The British army, who had not responded, was directly beaten.

This is also something that can't be helped. The Supreme Commander, Mr. Churchill, is too busy to deal with the political consequences of the Dutch losing the Indonesian part of Borneo, so he accidentally ignored the Malaysian area on the other side of Borneo.

Without his orders, the following people could not mobilize the army, so the strength of the Malaysian part of Borneo is still one Australian division, one New Zealand division and four Indian divisions.

When the rebels came, they realized that it was too late. This is the Southeast Asia region, not the British mainland. It is not easy for Mr. Churchill to increase his troops in a short period of time.

If there are several regiments, he can send them up in a day or two. Unfortunately, the reinforcements needed now are tens of thousands, and it takes time to deploy personnel and materials.

However, Mr. Churchill still sent the reinforcements out. Probably in his impression, with the firepower of the rebels, it was a very easy problem to stick to waiting for reinforcements.

It is a pity that the rebels who have defeated the Dutch have now been reborn. Both the weapons and equipment and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers have undergone qualitative changes.

In addition, the Japanese instructors had taken the lead to boost morale. Before Mr. Churchill could react, several Indian divisions were defeated one after another, leaving the New Zealand and Australian divisions to resist.

That is to say, Mr. Churchill can accept this result, and any normal army commander will know that this is a very low-level military error.

Even if you stick to waiting for help, you must concentrate your troops to stick to it. You ordered to stick to the spot and wait for help. Do you know the distribution of troops on the front line?

Therefore, as the cannon fodder among 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 and Australian divisions in the rear, using the little time they had won, built a simple defensive offensive against the rebels.

That's all, the neurotic Mr. Churchill did not change the previous reinforcement plan. In his opinion, the rebels are a group of rabble. As long as they don't go deep into the jungle, British soldiers can fight one against 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 line of defense in the first round, they withdrew and waited for the British to counterattack.

There is no doubt that these seemingly random deployments are in line with the actual situation of the rebel army.

The coastal areas are all within the scope of the activities of British warships. The insurgents have neither air force nor shore artillery. What else can they do other than get bombed?

Isn't it good to wait for the enemy to come to the door? Why go to death?

It doesn't matter if you can't win, you can drill into the ravine. As long as the British dare to chase in, they don't have to think about getting out.

The battle of Borneo showed the prestige of the insurgent army, inspired the insurgent army suppressed by the British everywhere, and proved that the white army could also be defeated by them.

At the same time, it also inspired the ambition of the Japanese. They suddenly discovered that the European countries were so weak, that the Dutch army could not defeat a group of rabble indigenous troops, and that the combat effectiveness of the British army was so rubbish!

In this case, they are unable to protect this vast colony, and it should be inherited by the mighty Japanese Empire.

The reports of these officers were passed on to Tokyo, and the careerists, who had been unable to hold back before, were now even more unable to control them.

There is gold, copper mines, rubber, and oil here... Almost all the resources needed by the Japanese Empire can be found here, and the masters here have indeed fallen to Europe, where even the natives can't win. people!

Conquering the South Seas for the Japanese Empire has become a new dream for Japanese juniors!

In this context, various small-scale uprisings in Southeast Asia continued to break out. The British army, which was preparing to launch a major counterattack, had to consolidate the rear first, so as not to allow the rebels to take advantage.

This Southeast Asian colonial uprising has gradually transformed from a pure national independence movement into a political game between Britain and Japan.

Ferdinand's goal has been achieved. It is impossible for the British Empire to withdraw from Southeast Asia in the short term, unless the Royal Navy directly defeats the Japanese Navy and destroys the Japanese military's ambitions in the Southeast Asian region.

The British may tolerate the establishment of independent states 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!
