On Fort William on the east bank of the Hugley River in Kolkata, the flag of the Chinese Empire in the fifth ring was already shining with the wind.

In the magnificent reception room, the portraits of the previous Indian governors have been removed, and replaced by Chinese landscape paintings.

The bearded Indian sitting beside Deng Tianpei across the coffee table is Sulundranath Banerjee, founder of the Indian National Association.

The imperial infantry has completely controlled the situation in Kolkata, but the whole city is now martial law and the atmosphere is extremely tense.

"Mr. Banerjee, we are different from the British and do not want to rule your compatriots, because both of you and me have brilliant civilizations and long history. I believe that after we expel the British, all ethnic groups in India will be reborn." Deng Tianpei is trying his best to persuade Banerjee to serve as the chief member of the Kolkata Autonomous Committee, and what he said actually put some gilds on Banerjee's face.

Today's India is far from ancient Indian civilization. In fact, the Indian continent has never been truly unified and has always been in a state of alien rule and division.

Before entering India, commanders such as Feng Zicai and Deng Tianpei were secretly ordered by the military headquarters. If the war goes well, it can help all ethnic groups in India achieve their autonomy. If all ethnic groups in India have the intention, it can also help them establish mutually exclusive loose confederacy.

At this moment, he lobbies Banerjee, the founder of the Indian National Association and a well-known Kolkata scholar, Deng Tianpei, can be said to have spared no effort.

Banerjee savored the tea without saying a word.

In fact, he had no disgust for the general who had just defeated the British Empire. Instead, he was extremely surprised when he met. Unexpectedly, the one who defeated the British was such a gentle young general who was even more polite to himself, which was in sharp contrast to the British's arrogance.

Banerjee prepared to establish the National Association of India, just hoped to improve the status of the Indian elite he represented under the British rule. He hoped to be free of the press. He eliminated all forms of racial discrimination, fought for the right of Indians to participate in state management and improve the poor rural situation.

Banerjee never thought of breaking away from the British rule. He believed that India had achieved great development under the protection of the British Empire. Without the British, there would be nothing that India is now.

He never thought that one day the British would be defeated by another powerful country and expelled from Kolkata. Two days before the Central Team arrived in Kolkata, he thought the war was far away.

But now, the army from the Eastern Empire expelled the British and promised him the right to autonomy of the Kolkata people, which made his mind confused for a while and he didn't know how to respond. He was completely unprepared to welcome this day.

Banerjee was even more surprised that the influence of the Chinese people had already penetrated into Kolkata. He just learned that there had always been an intelligence station for Chinese internal affairs agencies in Kolkata. Now the Chinese Internal Affairs Bureau in Kolkata has been listed and soon there were employees.

He just knew that several of his friends had a tendency to be close to China, and he heard that one friend was an intelligence officer from the Chinese internal affairs agency. Now he has entered the Kolkata Chinese Internal Affairs Bureau in a noble manner.

All of this came too suddenly, and even made him wonder whether the current world was still the world he knew.

"Mr. Banerjee, the British fleet fired fire in the city. You have seen it with your own eyes, do you still have fantasies about the British?"

The British Fleet Commission actually wanted to use artillery to prevent the Chinese team from entering Kolkata, but eventually fled in panic under the fierce artillery fire of the Eastern Legion.

Banerjee still remained silent.

"Mr. Banerjee, there is something to discuss with you. Our military department is ready to arrest pro-British people based on reliable intelligence. I want to hear your opinions."

Deng Tianpei's words shocked Banerjee and said hurriedly: "This is not possible. General Deng, the British ruled Kolkata for a long time. In the past, many of us worked for the British. If your army liquidated history, I was worried that many innocent people would be implicated."

As he spoke, Banerjee stared at Deng Tianpei's expression. He was a little nervous. The Chinese team was too strong. The British had been expelled. The citizens of Kolkata left behind had no chance to resist at all. The Chinese arrested pro-British elements? It would likely turn into atrocities of burning, killing, looting, or even a bloody massacre.

Deng Tianpei pondered, nodded silently, and after a while, he said, "You are right, we should look forward. Look, if we don't have your guidance, we may have made a big mistake. Mr. Banerjee, in order to maintain the stability and order of Kolkata, you must come forward and take charge of the overall situation."

Banerjee began to feel relieved, but gradually understood that this Chinese general was setting a trap for him? But what he said was reasonable. Having himself came forward to maintain a coordinated relationship is the best choice for both parties.

...

In September 1883, the Chinese Eastern Expeditionary Force conquered Kolkata, which shocked the world. In the eyes of politicians and media around the world, from a strategic perspective, the painful sacrifices made by the Eastern Army were naturally insignificant compared with the brilliant achievements. The British Empire Navy lost the most important port on the east coast of India, which was almost a fatal blow.

After occupying Kolkata, the Eastern Route Army rested on the spot. A few days later, several members of the Indian National Association announced the establishment of an autonomous committee in Kolkata and elected the chairman seriously.

The Battle of Kolkata seemed to sound the horn of the Chinese counterattack. After the Chinese West Indian Expeditionary Force conquered Delhi, it began to march towards Mumbai, the largest port city on the west coast of India.

In November 1883, when the Chinese West India Expeditionary Force formed an encirclement of Mumbai, countless turrets and bunkers were built in the Russian battlefield and Vladimir Province. The total length of roads and railways connecting various positions exceeded 300 kilometers. It was known as the "insurpassed line of death in Europe" was broken by the Chinese. In the Battle of Vladimir, the Chinese used weapons of mass destruction such as poison gas bombs and incendiary bombs. The main corps of the Russian army suffered heavy casualties, and several infantry divisions were eliminated in an organization.

The Russian Baath Party government fled from Moscow in a hurry, and Kyiv became the Russian government's wartime accompaniment.

When the Allies collectively condemned the cruelty of the Chinese, their fear of the Eastern Legion increased day by day. The Chinese Army was really strong beyond their imagination.

On the battlefield of Germany and France, although Germany was not well prepared for the outbreak of the war, under the strong restraint of the Chinese, its eastern border was safe. It could fight with the British and French forces on the Western Front with all its might, and the balance of victory slowly tilted towards it.

With the Russian army's defeat on the Eastern Front and having to transfer most of its troops from the Western Front, the main force of the Austro-Hungarian Empire began to gain an absolute advantage in the Balkans. The Turkish new army struggled to support the situation.

However, Iran's attack on the Turkish Empire encountered Waterloo, and the centipede worm died without being stiff. This old empire was still more than enough to deal with the defeated generals of hundreds of years.

In November 1883, Italy declared war on Türkiye again and officially fell into the ranks of allies.

In the two months from November to December, China had three more battleships, 18 cruisers and several destroyers, and torpedo ships were delivered to the Navy.

Although the Chinese Navy Fleet suffered repeated damage in the early battles between the British Pacific Fleet, the Chinese's strong industrial production capacity made the Chinese Navy Fleet's advantage increasingly obvious.

The British Pacific Fleet's range of activities is getting farther and farther away from the Chinese Sea, and it is even harder to see them in the waters east of Wake Island. This is equivalent to announcing that its Pacific Fleet can no longer protect Australia, and Australia is completely exposed to the attack range of the Chinese.

...

Military computer room on the top floor of the Empire State Building.

Ye Zhao flipped through the thick documents on the table. Although overseas trade almost stagnated, this war caused the empire's light and heavy industries to develop greatly. As for the government's heavy debt, it was insignificant.

Take the shipbuilding industry as an example. Since 1881, there have been 59 shipbuilding platforms on the east coast of the empire, and the production capacity has jumped from 160,000 tons in 1881 to 500,000 tons. In two years, it has achieved a triple growth.

However, Ye Zhao was not very satisfied. It was still worse than the leap in the US shipbuilding energy during World War I. Of course, the empire was only more than 20 years old, and now it is comparable to the miracle of the United States, even better than that.

Ye Zhao reads every memorial in various ways carefully, and the internal affairs during the war should not be abolished.

The State Council has issued a new memorandum to amend the draft regulations for women workers.

The war also promoted the liberation of the empire's women to a certain extent. Although the empire used no more than two million troops abroad, if the laborers, technical workers, etc. were calculating logistics support, they were afraid that the manpower would be used was worth tens of millions, which caused a large number of women to pour into factories and traded jobs, and became an important member of the imperial production army.

It is imperative to improve the legislation of female workers and protect their rights and interests.

The following note comes from the Army General Staff, which drafted a lightning plan to destroy Russia within two months and presented it to Ye Zhao for the ruling. Obviously, after the Battle of Vladimir, the ambitious army generals were full of confidence in the complete conquest of Russia.

In addition, there is also a plan for the army to send troops to Iran to support the Iranian National Army in fighting against the Turkish New Army.

Ye Zhao drew a fork on both of these two notes. The situation is favorable and we must fight steadily. The front line should not be too long. Moreover, the balance of strength in the European continent also needs to be considered. It is winter again, and it is very difficult to use troops in northern Russia. It is best to consolidate the defense line.

Next is Feng Zicai's memorial, but it is a memorial to denounce Deng Tianpei's arbitrary behavior.

In fact, Ye Zhao knew that in modern society, in historical records, where can civil officials and generals who are shining in the eyes of the outside world be perfect? ​​Only by standing in their own position can they see clearly.

Feng Zicai is certainly a rare talent, but he is not a saint. He naturally has ideas about Deng Tianpei launching the Battle of Kolkata without authorization after he went to Myanmar.

In fact, Deng Tianpei fought the Battle of Kolkata with the idea of ​​not accepting the orders of the king outside the country. There were many complaints that he could not defeat his merits. Some even criticized him for being responsible for the lives of thousands of martyrs who died in Kolkata. In the Battle of Kolkata, the Imperial ** regiment suffered more than 15,000 casualties, which exceeded the losses of any battle in the Russian battlefield outside the Battle of Vladimir.

Feng Zicai had a deep conversation with the old friend of Myanmar's Tin-Boy King in Myanmar, and at the same time resolved the civil war that could break out between the pro-China factions and the ** factions at any time.

Feng Zicai mentioned with the King of Tin Pao that the emperor had promised to give Myanmar a complete equal status. From then on, the Burmese king did not need to be enthroned by the Central Plains emperor, and the two countries could have completely equal interactions.

Feng Zicai did not take retreat as advance, but received a secret telegram from Ye Zhao, and every sentence he promised came from the telegram.

In fact, this is also the continuation of Ye Zhao's policies towards the Southeast countries. If the awareness of the Southeast ethnic groups is unstoppable, what's wrong with the false reputation of the Sect Master? Keeping pace with the times, can the Southeast ethnic groups maintain a long-term favor, recognition and dependence on the Central Plains Empire.

The tin robe king was shocked. He knew very well that under the constitutional monarchy, his power originated from the support of the Central Plains Empire. Once he lost the enthronement of the Central Plains, his status might be lost at any time.

In fact, on the third day after the Chinese National Congress conquered Kolkata, before the news reached Mandalay, the capital of Myanmar, the King of Tin Pao dismissed the Prime Minister who was inclined to the faction and appointed the candidate recommended by Feng Zicai as prime minister.

After the new prime minister took office, the Myanmar House of Parliament quickly approved the proposal to declare war on Britain, and Feng Zicai and his delegation were successful in their merits.

In the memorial, Feng Zicai believed that if the attack on Kolkata could be postponed by one month, the Eastern Army would definitely obtain contact with the Kolkata Intelligence Station of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and make steady progress and change tactics, so there would be no need to attack and pay a severe price of casualties.

At the same time, the battle between China and Britain, from the perspective of months of war, was nothing more than a battle of national strength. The Battle of Kolkata was of great significance at that time, but looking at it three months later, the slowly drawing had no impact on the entire Sino-British war.

After reading the memorial, Ye Zhao put it aside. Feng Zicai said something very reasonable. He wanted to do this at that time, but in many cases, it was difficult to say which choice was better. In terms of the situation at that time, Deng Tianpei made the best choice he thought. Since he had won a big victory, it shocked the whole of Europe and excited the people of the country. This is enough. Where can I have a perfect strategy? Zhuge Liang was even more unsatisfied afterwards.

Below are the comments from the Admiralty Department and the combat plan of the Army's Eastern Route Army that besieged Mumbai to launch a general offensive in three days.

While Ye Zhao was reading the memorial, he suddenly heard a crisp but timid voice from a girl in the west: "Report, report, Your Majesty..."

Turning back, I saw a long telephone on the west side. A row of telephone operators sitting in front of the telegraph machine, a female telephone operator stood up timidly. She should be not very old. She was wrapped in her graceful figure with an olive green military uniform. She had a black waterfall-like permed hair on both sides of the boat-shaped military cap, and her temperament was excellent.

Originally, the operator received a telegram and reported it to Ye Zhao by the telephone officer, but it happened that the operator was not here now and the telephone was quite urgent. The little female soldier had no choice but to have the courage to talk to Ye Zhao directly.

Ye Zhao quickly realized what was going on. In fact, the war was not a big deal. If he was on the front line, the telephone soldiers were directly facing the highest commander. There was even a situation where the chief was scolded by the telephone soldiers because he was talking to the front line. After all, when the front line was fierce, it was common for the telephone line to be blown off. When answering the phone, the soldiers might have to pay their lives to protect them every minute.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Ye Zhao smiled and pressed down, saying, "Don't be nervous." The route that the little female soldier was responsible for usually comes from the Navy.

The little female soldier's face was flushed, her mind was in chaos, and her words were subconscious. She didn't know what she was saying, "Yes, it was called by Minister Pei. He has something urgent to report to you."

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, then walked over, took the receiver from the little female soldier, and met the little female soldier's slippery hand slightly. The little female soldier was stumbled on the chair in a panic and almost fell to the sky. She was so disobedient in front of Ye Zhao, shy and anxious, and tears were almost flowing out.

Ye Zhaoxin said that this little girl was quite fun, and said no to the microphone, and then Pei Tianqing's voice came from the receiver: "Your Majesty, the Nanyang Fleet just fought with the British devils in the Yangon waters and drove the British devils away. I will send you the detailed battle report immediately."

Ye Zhao knew that the maritime affairs were in a tight situation a while ago, and Pei Tianqing, the Minister of the Navy, had been under great pressure. No wonder he could not suppress his excitement when he heard about the victory, especially the victory against the British Indian Ocean Fleet.
