The central and eastern part of the subcontinent, a vast area bounded by the Satpura Mountains in the north, Calcutta in the east, Nagpur in the west, and Hyderabad in the south, is now under the control of the Holy Kingdom.
Such a large territory is larger than the northeastern area originally controlled by the Holy Kingdom.
On the surface, the Holy Kingdom seems to be the biggest winner in this war.
Shi Dakai has rushed to Calcutta impatiently, and this time he basically brought the leadership team of the Holy Kingdom with him.
Only a few officials remained in Dinsukia.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Holy King is moving the capital.
Kolkata has a superior geographical location and profound cultural heritage. At this time, it is considered a relatively large city in the entire world.
Garoya is actually very jealous, but he already owns the two cities of Dhaka and Chittagong.
They had also obtained Dhaka with the help of the Holy Army. It was agreed at that time that the occupation of Calcutta would be left to the Holy Army in the future.
Furthermore, the military strength of the Holy Kingdom was indeed stronger than that of the Kingdom of Burma, so that was why they were willing to give up Calcutta to the Holy Kingdom.
Of course, the Renaissance Army also played a role in this.
But Galloya was not satisfied with this status quo, which was equivalent to blocking their way to the west.
Therefore, Galloya did not send many troops to support the Holy Army this time.
Fortunately, Calcutta has been captured now. A large area of land to the west and south of Calcutta has entered the possession of the Holy Kingdom.
"Holy King, you see, this is Calcutta's shipyard. These slipways can build large sailing ships of several thousand tons. We have recovered some craftsmen. The ships on the slipways were almost completed when the Chinese were here.
.”
"In the future, we can also use the slipway here to manufacture armored ships. The steel factory in the city can manufacture armor. The technical backbone of the steel factory is here, and they are now willing to serve the Holy Kingdom." Wang Zhaoshou, the Minister of Industry of the Holy Kingdom, was introducing Calcutta to Shi Dakai.
The situation at the shipyard.
"Good work, we must treat these craftsmen well, whether they are Ying people, Indian people, or Meng people. At the same time, we must send more of our own children to follow them to learn. Our Holy Kingdom does not lack brave and capable warriors, but it lacks
We are skilled craftsmen, but we can’t always buy everything from the Renaissance Army.”
"In that way, the Renaissance Army is like tying us with a rein."
Shanggong is the name of Wang Zhaoshou, who used to be a shipbuilder.
He is the old man next to Shi Dakai. Before the Taiping Army entered Jiangning, he followed Shi Dakai.
Shi Dakai valued the navy, so Wang Zhaoshou, who was good at shipbuilding, became an important chief craftsman under him.
This has lasted more than ten years, and Wang Zhaoshou is now the Minister of Industry of the Holy Kingdom.
When he came to Calcutta this time, Wang Zhaoshou had the heaviest task, because what Shi Dakai was interested in was not the small foreign-style buildings built by locals in the city, but the factories in the city.
Shi Dakai knew that if the Holy Kingdom wanted to become strong in the future, it must have its own industry.
"Yes, Holy King, I will definitely handle this matter well, and we will treat those with real abilities well." Wang Zhaoshou responded.
"By the way, Shanggong, the person in charge we sent to seize the factory must explain clearly. If you don't know how to handle things, don't mess around. I know how many pounds our own people have. If someone abuses their power and affects production,
, I will never be lenient." Shi Dakai warned coldly.
"He is a holy king, and I will take good care of these people below." Wang Zhaoshou replied respectfully.
This time Shi Dakai handed over the management of these factories to his Ministry of Works, which greatly expanded the power of the entire Ministry of Works.
The director of the factory is an official under the Ministry of Industry, and will be assigned a rank based on the size of the factory.
Suddenly there were hundreds of such principals.
Wang Zhaoshou is also under a lot of pressure. If these people's errands are not done well, he will also have to bear the responsibility.
"Holy King, the King of England is back." An attendant reported.
"Okay, let's go back. Shanggong, you have to calculate the amount of food consumed by these factory workers every day, what raw materials the factory needs, and find out their original sales. After you have calculated everything, hand it over to
Me." Before leaving, Shi Dakai explained again.
Shi Dakai knew what Chen Yucheng came back to do.
After Shi Dakai arrived in Calcutta, Chen Yucheng left Calcutta.
He took more than 30,000 reinforcements to Nagpur, a strategic location in the middle of the country.
The Suzaku Army attacked southward along the coastline very smoothly, and fought all the way to Hyderabad to join forces with the Tamil-dominated Southern Alliance.
However, the flying dragon army pursuing the enemy westward suffered a heavy setback in the city of Accra on the central plateau.
The Feilong Legion has been chasing Da Ying's remaining defeated generals, and it can be said that they are unstoppable along the way.
Originally, they thought that the Yin army would abandon the city and flee as before.
However, when they arrived at the gates of Accra, they were stubbornly blocked by the Japanese army.
The Feilong Army had been victorious one after another before, almost chasing the Ying Army's ass and running away, as if they were dazzled by the victory.
How could he give up so easily now that he was facing resistance? Commander Li Tianmao ignored that his men were cavalry and were not good at attacking the city. He just let the cavalry storm the castle.
As a result, the Ying army got several rotating machine guns from nowhere and killed the Holy Army by surprise.
Immediately afterwards, the cavalry troops of the Yin Army led the servant cavalry and outflanked them from the north and south.
It turned out that the Yin army had been prepared to lure the enemy deeper.
The first batch of 50,000 troops to arrive here included a light cavalry division.
It is this cavalry that feels the city of Accra now.
General Robert still served as the commander, and his defeated army plus the servants gathered along the way still numbered five to six thousand people.
The Feilong Army under Li Tianmao numbered more than 10,000 people.
Fortunately, the Royal Light Cavalry Division originally had 5,000 men, and with the addition of the servant troops brought from Bombay, the total number reached more than 10,000.
The Feilong Army used the 1853-type lances produced by Fuxing Military. In previous pursuit battles, this type of gun used its high rate of fire to wipe out a large number of the effective forces of the defeated troops.
Daying's reinforcements were not bad either, they were all equipped with new carbines.
Robert already knew the news of the arrival of reinforcements in Volta City in the east.
But he did not place the blocking location at Volta.
On the one hand, this city is not as strong as the walls of Arcola. On the other hand, the terrain around Volta is not suitable for cavalry ambush.
Furthermore, the Yin Army's cavalry division still needs time to prepare.
Li Tianmao's reaction was very quick. He immediately began to retreat after discovering the opponent's ambush.
But this time they encountered the Royal Fifth Light Cavalry Division, which had made great achievements in the Crimean battlefield.
Li Tianmao ran all the way to Nagpur before stopping.
There are five thousand troops stationed here from the rear.
And Nagpur is a big city after all. The chasing troops were also cavalry who were not good at attacking cities.
In this way, both parties stopped at Gpur.
In this battle, Li Tianmao's flying dragon army lost half of its troops.
The flying dragon army carefully built by Shi Dakai was almost crippled. The Holy Army's confidence in being invincible was also shattered.
Li Tianmao met Da Ying's regular cavalry for the first time on the battlefield. As proud as he was, he had to admire their fighting qualities.
Those large light cavalry were able to maintain an orderly formation even after the horses began to gallop.
The Feilong Army trains very hard, but they can't do it to this extent.
He was ready to go back and accept the punishment from the Holy King.
The Holy Army has never suffered such a defeat since entering the subcontinent.
The news quickly spread to Calcutta, and Chen Yucheng immediately sent 20,000 troops from the Qinglong Army, which was undergoing repairs, to support Nagpur.
As a result, when the reinforcements were about to arrive in Nagpur, they were once again attacked by the Dayang Cavalry.
Fortunately, it is not far from Nagpur.
The reinforcements entered Chengnei with the support of the Feilong Army after losing more than 3,000 people in the battle.
Two consecutive defeats alarmed even Shi Dakai, who was about to arrive in Calcutta.
He dared to hurry up and rush on the road, and at the same time ordered Chen Yucheng to lead the remaining troops to Nagpur to ensure that the central line of defense was held.
What Shi Dakai was most worried about was that Dayang's army would push the battle line back to Calcutta.
In that case, people here will definitely be upset.
Shi Dakai's plan to rely on Calcutta to develop the Holy Kingdom's industry and commerce could not be realized.
Chen Yucheng also knew that the Yin army that the holy army saw in Nagpur this time was probably different from the original one.
He did not dare to entrust him, so he once again mobilized 20,000 people to go to Nagpur with him.
This time, there was no sneak attack by the Yin army.
After arriving in Nagpur, Chen Yucheng learned that the weapons used by the army this time and the spirit of the soldiers were different from the original expeditionary force.
Obviously, reinforcements from the Yin Army had arrived. But he did not know how many reinforcements there were from the Yin Army.
However, it didn't take long for a young and handsome man to find him.
This man was wearing the attire of a high-caste Indian aristocrat. Although his skin was slightly dark, he had regular features and bright eyes.
"Hello, His Royal Highness!"
"Your Highness, please don't stare at me like that. It turns out that I'm not that dark. Now I'm so dark because I just do as the Romans do." Zhang Deshuai is the so-called social arrogant.
He can quickly get to know anyone he meets. Here in the subcontinent, there are very few people who don't know him.
Chen Yucheng naturally also knew about the intelligence chief of the Renaissance Army in the subcontinent.
"Haha, Mr. Zhang is so polite. I think Mr. Zhang is so talented that he should really do diplomatic work."
"King of England, compared to doing diplomatic work, I prefer internal diplomacy. It makes people happy to deal with our own people like the Holy Army."
"King of England, let me tell you something serious. Your relatives have sent 200,000 reinforcements to the subcontinent this time."
"Relative?" Chen Yucheng was not very used to Zhang Deshuai's way of speaking.
"No, you are the King of England, not the King of Great Britain, then you are their relative."
Chen Yucheng sweated violently in his heart, this is the sixth child!
"Mr. Zhang, you are not joking. You just said that Great Britain has mobilized 200,000 troops, but now we have defeated more than 10,000 British troops. If they really have that many troops, shouldn't they take advantage of them?
Are we going to come over here before our footing is stable?" Chen Yucheng expressed his doubts.
"King of England, the 200,000 I mentioned is the first batch of reinforcements in their plan. Of course, even these 200,000 are only 50,000."
"You have to know that Dayang is also thousands of miles away, and it will take several months to walk the nearest road. And they have to repair it after they get here, so you only encountered one of their cavalry divisions."
"I can tell you that what you encountered this time is the Royal Fifth Light Cavalry Division of the Great Empire. It had outstanding performance on the Crimean battlefield."
"Mr. Zhang, thank you for the information you brought." Although he is the King of England, Chen Yucheng did not dare to show off in front of the spy leader of the Renaissance Army.
Zhang Deshuai's power in the subcontinent is incredible. Almost all the forces have connections with him.
The key is that he is equivalent to the liaison person of the Renaissance Army in the subcontinent.
He represents the Renaissance Army to a certain extent.
"King of England, this is what Zhang should do. I think the King of England should consider how to stop Da Ying's 200,000-strong army."
"Mr. Zhang, I think these 200,000 troops are not coming for our Holy Kingdom family. Your Renaissance Army is Da Ying's biggest enemy."
"The King of England is indeed wise. Let me do the math. Our Renaissance Army has 100,000 troops stationed on Ceylon Island and a navy. Great Britain will not send an army to land before defeating our navy. So what are these armies doing now?
?”
"Mumbai is their most important port city in the western subcontinent, and their army will most likely be concentrated there."
"They have three enemies on land, the Northern Alliance, you, and the Southern Alliance of the Tamil people in the south."
"Then let me analyze the combat power of the Northern Alliance. The King of England should know that 50,000 troops are enough to defeat them."
"The Southern Alliance's combat power is even worse. I don't think the Da Yin people want to go south to join them in the jungle for the time being. So the Holy Kingdom will have to face at least 150,000 Da Yin troops here. You have to know the original Bombay
The Governor-General still has some troops."
"Also, they have plenty of guns and can quickly recruit a large number of servants."
"King of England, you have also seen that the weapons and equipment of these Da Yin people have been greatly improved, and are almost on par with the equipment of our Renaissance Army. These new equipment, the equipment rate of your Holy Army is not high.
"
Chen Yucheng fell into thinking. Not only was he thinking about whether the Holy Army could deal with so many large armies, he was also thinking about why Zhang Deshuai told him so much.
"Mr. Zhang, it is true that we cannot deal with such a large army alone. I believe that the Renaissance Army will not ignore death. After all, we are on the same front." Chen Yucheng tried to ask.
"Of course, your Royal Highness, our Renaissance Army will not ignore it. The forces that resist the rule of the Great Empire in the entire subcontinent should not stay out of it."
"There are now five major forces resisting Great Britain in the subcontinent, with a total strength of more than one million. Has the King of England ever thought of uniting them?"
"Unite? Our Holy Nation does not have such appeal." Chen Yucheng shook his head and said that their Holy Nation does not yet have the ability to command the heroes on the subcontinent.
"So, the King of England also agrees to join forces to resist?" Zhang Deshuai was waiting for Chen Yucheng's words.
He came here this time to test the Holy Kingdom's reaction to the establishment of a subcontinental theater and a post-war reconstruction committee.
Of course, the information told to them about the Yin army is also true.
Only when the Holy Army knows the deployment of Dayang's army will they make a joint response according to the situation.
"Mr. Zhang, does the Renaissance Army have any plans? Your Renaissance Army is the big brother and should take the lead. I think Mr. Zhang is also a straightforward person. I hope he will make it clear."
"Oh, the King of England is polite, this plan must be there. The Renaissance Army is indeed ready to unite everyone. Our president has said that the Renaissance Army will not occupy an inch of land on the subcontinent in the future. Our president intends to establish a subcontinental theater to integrate the five major forces.
Get up and unite the command. No one can sit back and enjoy the fruits of victory. If the Japanese take control of the subcontinent, no one among the five major forces can escape, so everyone must fight against the Japanese army." Zhang De Shuaishuai revealed the plan.
"Mr. Zhang, this plan needs to be decided by the Holy King. I personally agree with it."
Zhang Deshuai did not say it explicitly, but Chen Yucheng had already heard that no one could sit back and enjoy the fruits of victory, which meant that everyone had the right to enjoy the fruits of victory, and the subcontinent still had to share it with everyone.
This is not necessarily impossible, and it is impossible for the Holy Army to swallow up so much land by itself.
