Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 681 The Law of the Jungle
Liu Buchan beat Qian'er on the spot and greeted the emperor.Guan Xuqing handed him a telegram at hand, and said: "Our army has fully occupied the Andaman Islands, and your navy must make the first contribution." A smile finally appeared on his face as he spoke.

Only then did Liu Buchan breathe a sigh of relief. When he came here, he felt uneasy, fearing that something might happen to the front line. Hearing the news, he subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "What should the navy do next? Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

Guan Xuqing took a sip and asked slowly, "How many submarines does the Singapore fleet have now?"

Liu Buchan thought for a while and said, "There are 3 Shark Hunter 15 Type 1 ships, 19 Sea Wolf Type 8 Type 6 ships, and [-] supply submarines. At the same time, the Sihanoukville Shipyard is launching [-] ships per month."

The emperor seemed quite satisfied, nodded his head and said: "These submarines are enough to control the Indian Ocean, the key is how to deploy them." Guan Xuqing looked at Liu Buchan questioningly.

Liu Buchan said: "Before I came here, I was discussing this matter. The preliminary research plan is that the Andaman Islands will be the focal point of the Sino-Indian war at sea. Therefore, we must send heavy troops to deploy in this sea area, and then use the Andaman Islands as the outpost of the war. The Cobar Islands and North Sumatra are the auxiliary attack points, control these three attack points, and then advance to the eastern coast of India on a large scale. I dare not speak nonsense, but judging from the current situation, the Indian navy is weak. Our strategy is right, and it won’t be long before we will be able to tear through the eastern coastal defense line in one fell swoop.”

Guan Xuqing said: "India alone, we can do nothing, but you have to be prepared for the British fleet to come to help. As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the current British navy is not what it used to be, their strength It still cannot be underestimated. India is facing a military incident, and the British will not sit idly by. Once the British send troops to support, we will definitely fight a fierce battle with the British fleet. I hope your submarine can participate. Submarines are the defenders of sea power , even if they send an aircraft carrier group, we can deal with it. Moreover, the Commonwealth has dozens of dominions around the world. It is still unknown whether the British will unite these countries to join the war. So Zixiang , This is a big battle, but also a bad one, you have to be prepared for everything."

"Zha, please rest assured, the emperor, the navy will fulfill its mission."

"Okay. I will give you another mission to carry out an 'unrestricted attack' in the Indian Ocean"

"Unlimited attack?" Liu Buchan froze for a moment, obviously not reacting.

"Yes." Guan Xuqing said: "Unrestricted attack means warships, merchant ships, in short, all non-imperial ships that appear in your sight, you have the right to attack, and when executing this order, do everything cheaply, even without Report to me, and I don't want to listen to your report, all I want is the result of the battle!"

Liu Buchan understood what the emperor meant. This was the emperor who granted him great power of life and death. From then on, there would no longer be the meaning of civilians in wars.Anyone who is an enemy country will be within the range of the empire's firepower!
"Zixiang, it is the most stupid behavior to treat women with benevolence!" Guan Xuqing suddenly said seriously: "There are only enemies in war, and there are no unarmed personnel. I want the navy to be a ferocious wolf on the sea. Teeth and sharp claws shred all ships! Of course, I will order the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to issue an announcement to all countries in advance, prohibiting merchant ships from passing through the Indian Ocean during the war, otherwise the empire will not be responsible for any consequences."

Feng Xianghua asked: "What does the emperor mean by launching an all-out war with India?"

Guan Xuqing sneered from his nose and said: "Total war? Does India have this strength? I will give you a month to contribute to New Delhi and capture Nehru alive! I will make India never have the capital to fight against the empire."

Guan Xuqing suddenly raised his voice and said: "Jiang Fangzhen, from now on, I order you to be the general who conquers India, and the military department will immediately mobilize 50 troops for you, and apply all the military theories in your belly to the Indian war. Remember, You can only succeed and not fail, and if you lose, you don’t have to go back to Beijing to see me. Well, it’s getting late, you’re all tired.”

"twitter."

"Your Excellency, China is going to make a big deal out of this matter. According to the information we have received, they have decided to send troops to India. You know the strategic significance of India in Asia to the British Empire. As the suzerain of the Commonwealth, Britain cannot Sit and watch." Nehru took a special plane and rushed to No. 10 Downing Street in London. After waiting for more than an hour outside the conference room, he finally got his wish to meet Churchill.

Listening to Nehru's chatter, Churchill was choked by the cigar smoke and coughed hard. He drank two sips of coffee before he stopped. He thought for a moment, and said slowly: "The cabinet has already discussed this matter. After that, the people in the military circle are of course as tough as ever, but the various ministries headed by Foreign Minister Eden do not agree with the motion of the British sending troops, and I am also very embarrassed about this matter."

Nehru knew that the scheming Churchill would not agree so quickly. When he came, he had already thought of a set of rhetoric, so he said: "Your Excellency, it is obvious that China has premeditated plans this time. He deliberately provoked trouble , is to bring down India so as to completely control South Asia. Looking at the entire Asian region, Southeast Asia has been included in China's territory as early as more than ten years ago. In World War I, they occupied Siberia. The signing of the Soviet Friendship Demarcation Treaty has now become China's territory. The country was destroyed in the Second World War. Although North Korea is still a vassal state of China, it is not much different from a province of China. Currently only Central Asia and South Asia still maintain their independence. India is the first initiator, followed by the countries of Central Asia, and then America, Africa, and even Europe. The sphere of influence of the empire on which the sun never sets is being eroded by the Chinese bit by bit. Survival The space will be getting smaller and smaller, and God knows when the emperor of China gives the order, their guns will be aimed directly at London."

Churchill's eyebrows twitched a few times, obviously moved by Nehru's words, he exhaled a puff of thick smoke, and then said thoughtfully: "China is no longer what it was 40 years ago. , the sleeping lion has long since awakened. International relations are consistent with the law of the jungle. Swallow it in one gulp. If the British Empire is still a lion, then it is just a lion that is getting old day by day, and has become weak after two world wars, and I am afraid that it is not capable of confronting China." Speaking of this, Churchill showed a rare old look on his face, and he was completely different from the ambitious hawk leader in the past.

Nehru continued to strengthen his offensive: "Your Excellency, I don't think so. Although the British Empire is not as good as before, after the defeat of Germany in World War II, its industrial strength is still the world's number one."

Churchill shook his head and said: "That's all played out by the British media itself. Don't forget that China has never released its economic data easily, and they have always been opaque about their military affairs. How strong is that country? , no one will know. The British political system used to be the most perfect in the world, but now it seems that all this is just wishful thinking of the British. There are many parties in the British political circle, and the parliament is full of voices. It is not up to me to let the British send troops. I have to convince the two houses and even my political opponents. In contrast, the Chinese emperor in the Forbidden City has supreme authority. He can unify the whole country with a single word and the Chinese are good at summing up experience from the painful history. Their history is the most complete in the world. In comparison, our countries are too short-sighted. Mr. Nehru, look through the history, you can see You can see as far into the future as you go into the past. China is a terrible country.”

Nehru was unmoved in the slightest, and stared and said: "Your Excellency, India is now facing a huge threat from China. The interests of Britain and India have been tightly bound together since 100 years ago. If India dies, Will Britain’s days of peace last long? Please think about it.”

Churchill's eyes flashed, he stared at Nehru for a long time, stood up from the chair, looked at the blue sky outside the window, suddenly turned around and said: "I understand the truth, Britain will not just sit and watch its friends being bullied by others." I can’t tolerate my own interests being plundered again and again, I will try my best to persuade the parliament to pass the British troop motion, but I don’t think the UK will be involved in an all-out war against China, and we don’t want to get angry at any time.”

"You mean that the war can only be kept within the scope of South Asia?"

"Maybe, as long as the war doesn't burn across the English Channel, don't you want to see a third world war break out?"

Nehru gasped, his eyesight was still somewhat short-sighted, he was only staring at South Asia, but Churchill was staring at the whole world!
"Whether it's wind or snow, or the sun smiles on us; the day is hot, the night is ice cold. The wind blows dust, but we enjoy it, and our chariots roar on, through the rolling yellow sand. The sound of engines Like thunder, fast as lightning, facing the enemy, with the armor. Standing shoulder to shoulder with our companions, we fight alone, we go deep into the enemy's line, disrupt the enemy's formation. If the enemy appears on the way, put the accelerator on, and then face the enemy Confrontation! What is survival? It is our highest honor to fight for the imperial army and die for the empire."

On the southern Tibetan front, Jiang Baili could hear such military songs everywhere during the two days he was here. The soldiers seemed to express their eagerness for the early start of the war through such songs.
