1890 King of Southeast Asia

In July 1907, South China officially launched a special military operation codenamed "Desert Storm".

Reader ID card-563743675

A total of the 3rd and 4th Army Divisions, three Arab vassal divisions, the Air Force Comprehensive Support Brigade, and the Navy Special Support Brigade were mobilized.

The total number of more than 120,000 people, more than 4,000 transport vehicles, 24 reconnaissance and combat aircraft, 12 transport airships, and 12 inland gunboats and shallow-water heavy gunboats.

Such a large-scale operation caused panic among the British, and they quickly carried out strategic contraction in the Persian region and protested to South China.

"Your Majesty, are you going to go to war with the Ottoman Empire?" Cyril asked seriously.

"How can you have such a crazy idea? South China is a peace-loving country and is not prepared to go to war with any country." Liu Yiming's face was full of shock.

If the South China Marine Corps had not landed in the Persian region, Cyril might have really believed it.

"Don't you think the troops you deployed abroad are a bit too much?" Cyril complained.

In the Middle East, there are only four forces that can be called modern armies:

The British Persian colonial army has about 5,000 Saxon soldiers.

The French Syrian and Lebanese colonial army has about 4,000 people, mainly Gauls.

The new army of the Ottoman Empire has a total of 500,000 people, but most of them are new recruits. Only about 100,000 have been trained for more than two years, and lack new heavy weapons. In addition, the combat effectiveness is very low due to the consistent style of the Ottoman Empire.

Finally, there are the South China Army and the Arab Division, with a total of about 60,000 people, but only 20,000 of them are army and construction corps, and the rest are Arabs.

In order to respond to the South China's move to increase troops, Britain has drawn more than 30,000 people into Persia, organized a defense line, and planned to re-arm ten battalions of Indians. Of course, the commander is British.

"Don't worry, Cyril, we are friends." Liu Yiming said.

"London is very worried. Your enemy is just a group of barbarians with messy weapons and no order. You are a little too cautious." Cyril shook his head.

"London is too worried. Nanhua's army will only move within the agreed range. Britain can supervise this." Liu Yiming shook his head unhappily.

This time, Liu Yiming did not send heavy troops. On the one hand, he continued to keep the secret, and on the other hand, too many heavy weapons were not meaningful in this battle.

Since there are not many secrets, it doesn't matter if the British know.

Seeing that Liu Yiming gave in, Cyril also went down the slope, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."

Cyril did not think that the two sides would go to war.

Because there is not enough interest!

The conflict of interest between the two sides is very small. The biggest conflict point is the Borneo region. This interest is not enough to make the two countries go to war.

In fact, Britain has been considering how to deal with this chicken rib.

The very realistic problem is that Britain cannot guarantee to hold on to its Borneo colonies in local conflicts, and in order to ensure control over Malacca, Britain cannot give up this good card.

In order to ease relations, Britain is making concessions on the interests of this land, and the Borneo Cross Railway, which is being opened, passes through these areas.

In the absence of fundamental conflicts of interest, the possibility of a war between two great powers so far apart is extremely low, unless one side goes crazy collectively.

After all, such a war would not make much sense even if it is won. This is not a stand-alone game. France, Germany, Tsarist Russia, the United States, Italy, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and a number of third-rate countries are waiting for Britain to weaken.

Liu Yiming looked at Cyril's leaving figure and yawned: "Lin Hai, is there any news from the front line?"

…………

After the Euphrates and Tigris rivers meet, they flow south and merge into the sea here. On both sides of the river are farmland, date palm trees, or unknown shrubs.

Farther away, the bushes also disappeared, with only a few wild grasses or lonely date palms. From time to time, you can see shepherds driving their flocks around, just to find fresh wild grasses.

Whether in the East or the West, the land is barren, but in the Middle East, the birthplace of civilization, it is indeed a rare oasis of life.

"Have the British left?" Han Fei stood on a bare mountain, looking at the nearby Khomeini Port.

The British maintain a navy and army here. According to the agreement, today is the deadline for the British to withdraw the army. The British navy will continue to stay here and monitor Nanhua until the end of the war.

"No British were seen, and the reconnaissance company has entered the city." The deputy head of the regiment was next to him, also holding a telescope.

"Report, the scout called, the British asked to hand over to the head of the regiment." The communicator got off the car and ran to Han Fei.

"Let's go in and take a look." Han Fei looked at the telegram and got on the car.

It is worth mentioning that Han Fei is no longer sitting in an armored car.

Since conquering Arabia, Automobile Factory 1, Automobile Factory 2, BMW Group and Volkswagen Group have all begun to design and develop military vehicles suitable for Arabia.

Automobile Factory No. 1 won the competition and produced a qualified transport vehicle with a 2*2 chassis, driven by an 80-horsepower gasoline engine, equipped with wide low-pressure tires, and a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour.

It weighs only 800 kilograms, and its appearance is like a barrel truck in the back half and a jeep in the front half, but the front of the car is relatively round, and it can seat four people. There is a small cargo box in the back, which can be used to pull things or install a machine gun.

It is directly open-top, with a steel frame on the top that can be covered with a layer of canvas.

The Arab Construction Corps first purchased 40 vehicles for trial use, and then added 1,000 vehicles at once, and then the Arab Division, which added another 1,000 vehicles.

Various derivative models have emerged in an endless stream, such as communication vehicles and reconnaissance vehicles, which can also undertake transportation or emergency tasks. They have evolved into basic equipment and have been adopted by the Army Department.

The advantages of this car are small and light, fast speed, flexible use, and not stuffy.

As for the disadvantages… the standard load is only 300 kg, and the price is not cheap, 850 per unit. Currently, only the Arab regions with chaotic situations and local subsidies have a large number of equipment.

…

This time, they were going to draw militia from the Construction Corps and directly expand the Arab First Division into an army, but they were stopped by the Army Department.

Wang Yang and Yang Tao made this decision, and Xie Hui, the Chief of the General Staff, came to explain angrily.

"Arab countries are located in a place where four wars are fought, and they will definitely expand. Now send two divisions there, mix them up, and come back with vehicles, and all kinds of supplies will be directly reimbursed by the parliament." Yang Tao said slowly.

Wang Yang drank a sip of tea without any hurry: "Two divisions, don't take anything except the stuff in your hands, and don't leave anything behind when you come back.

After the new equipment is used up, let the brothers try their hands, conduct tactical training, and get familiar with it first, so as not to be in a hurry in the future."

"Your Majesty agreed to this matter." Yang Tao added, blocking Xie Hui's mouth.

Then, the Army Department added 4,000 light basic general transport vehicles and named them Warriors.

…

"I am Will Smith, a major in the British Royal Navy, captain of the Willis." A Royal Navy major in a dress and gorgeous clothes looked up and looked at Han Fei with contempt.

Han Fei smiled and said nothing: "I am Han Fei, a lieutenant colonel in the South China Empire Army and the commander of the 221st Regiment of the 11th Division. Hello, Mr. Major."

Han Fei put the emphasis on the major, and the translator translated it in the same way. Will Smith raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand.

The army has already issued an expansion plan. The Arab Division has been cancelled and changed to the 11th Army Division. Together with the 3rd and 4th Divisions, it will form the Provisional 4th Army.

"I was ordered to take charge of the handover of Khomeini Port. I thought you would come earlier." Will Smith complained.

Han Fei stretched out his hand and shook his hand. "I didn't expect that you were almost gone. After all... the British Army is not famous for its efficiency."

Will Smith showed an interested expression. When he was about to discuss with Han Fei in detail how many places the British Army was not so bad, his adjutant coughed.

"Well, business is important." Will Smith shrugged helplessly and took Han Fei around.

"This is the reserve warehouse. Of course, it is empty now. Next to it is the barracks, which can accommodate a thousand people. The playground is in the south..."

It took two hours to complete the handover, and Will Smith took Han Fei to the dock.

"This is the cruiser Willis, and next to it is... According to the agreement, we cannot surrender the military port before the end of the war." Will Smith looked at the naval vessels proudly.

"But you can use the commercial port. Anyway, there won't be many ships coming recently." With the war approaching, only merchants with ulterior motives will approach.

Han Fei just shook his head. The cruiser Willis seemed to have a displacement of two to three thousand tons, but it was obviously old. It had three independent masts and it seemed that it could still hang sails.

Han Fei could clearly see that its main gun was definitely more than 152 mm. The larger caliber rapid-fire guns must be used first for the new warships. Britain's artillery production capacity has gradually failed to keep up with warship manufacturing.

It is the mission of the 221st Regiment to prevent merchants with ulterior motives from providing more assistance to Mesopotamia.

Britain must want to sabotage, but as long as the sea route is blocked, land transportation will not affect the war situation.

On July 3, the fleet of the Fourth Army Division arrived at Khomeini Port, and more than 20,000 soldiers came down with guns.

The three destroyers responsible for escorting them were about 600 tons, equipped with two 105mm guns, two 2mm guns, and two twin 533mm torpedo tubes.

The maximum speed was 32 knots, and the characteristics were that it used pure fuel oil as fuel, completely abandoning coal, with a long endurance and easy replenishment at sea.

There was originally a lead destroyer, but when passing through India, the left drive shaft failed for unknown reasons and returned to Nanhua for repair.

"Oh! So cute! Isn't it?" Will Smith looked at the small destroyer and teased.

"I'm in the army, I don't understand the navy." Han Fei could only turn his head awkwardly.
