What Yang Ximei brought back was not only the resolution of the board of directors, but also the request of West Pacific Company.
Some things need to be coordinated by him personally. For example, West Pacific Company needs to purchase a batch of light and heavy weapons.
These include 20,000 Type 54 rifles, one hundred Type 60 heavy machine guns, 30 mortars, and 20 howitzers.
There is even an order for five offshore armed patrol gunboats.
This is enough to arm the army of a small country.
The number of security corps will be expanded to 20,000.
The company even asked for part of the immigration quota.
Dong Shuheng can provide weapons and security team establishment.
However, in terms of recruiting immigrants, Dong Shuheng asked them to find their own way. Since it is a company, they must follow the company's method.
If you can't recruit immigrants, it's because the price you offer is not enough.
As long as the price offered is high, immigrants can naturally be recruited.
West Pacific Company's expansion of its armed forces is naturally to prepare for the full takeover of South China Continent later.
This was something Dong Shuheng had tacitly agreed to before. Since there will be an independent country in the future, it is essential to have its own armed forces.
Even if the Renaissance Army captured important coastal cities this time, the white power on the big island would not completely disappear.
Because of the strategic depth here, there will always be residual white forces entrenched in the interior areas.
These need to be handled by Westpac itself.
The Renaissance Army will not stay to help them suppress the bandits.
Just when Dong Shuheng was paying attention to Nanhua Island, the war situation in the subcontinent was developing in favor of the coalition forces.
On the fifth day of October, the coalition forces completed the encirclement of the army on the north and south wings of the Nagpur defense line. Nearly 300,000 soldiers and servants were divided and surrounded in two small circles with a radius of less than five kilometers.
So many soldiers were crowded together. They were surrounded on the way back and had no protection from fortifications.
Soon the Yin troops on both wings also saw the airship that had previously made the Yin troops in the center look pale.
A buzzing roar echoed in the sky.
The huge airship descended on the head of the army like the god of death.
Immediately, fierce bombing and machine gun fire caused the Yin troops who tried to gather to break out to be dispersed again and again.
This battle lasted for two days, with the coalition forces firmly blocking the Japanese army's retreat, waiting for the final moment of harvest.
Soon the artillery units of the coalition forces also joined the encirclement and suppression, and almost all of the artillery units of the Yin Army were wiped out by the airship troops.
The battle accelerated at this time.
With the heavy casualties of the enemy forces in the encirclement, the conditions for the coalition's general offensive became increasingly mature.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, the coalition forces launched a general offensive against the enemy forces in the encirclement.
At least half a million troops fought in two small areas west of Nagpur.
Battles above the division level can be seen everywhere.
The coalition's attack seemed to be unorganized, but the troops on all lines were advancing simultaneously, gradually compressing the enemy's defensive circle.
On the ninth day of the lunar month, the Ying army in the circle finally couldn't hold on any longer.
The first to surrender were the vassals of Bombay.
The surrender of these people was a little different. They killed the Japanese officers who were placed in their own army and then surrendered.
Apparently, when they were about to surrender, the ROK officers tried to stop them.
Liao Xiangdong, who was responsible for commanding the commando team in the battle, took the initiative to recruit these servants of the enemy.
Next, they took these servants of the enemy and continued to advance toward the center of the encirclement.
Every time there is one, there are two, and more and more servant armies are surrendering. Many of the officers placed by the Japanese among the servant armies have been killed. The servant army, which has no one to restrain it, has long lost the courage to fight.
Five kilometers south of Nagpur, in a semi-underground bunker on a hill beside the river, Peng Yulin was paying attention to the trends on the battlefield.
There are much fewer people in the headquarters than before.
Even Chen Yucheng went to the front line and directly commanded the army to pursue the Yin army.
In such an unprecedented war, it is necessary to have generals with extensive on-the-spot command experience to take command on the front line.
Peng Yulin is anxiously waiting for news from the front line. Currently, radio stations have not spread to the front-line combat troops, and field telephones have not had time to be extended.
Peng Yulin had no way of getting the news immediately.
Although the Yin people were divided, there were still hundreds of thousands of Yin troops in each encirclement.
This is still a huge number. Although the coalition forces are surrounded, their actual strength is not much greater than that of the Ying army.
This resulted in a crisscross situation on the battlefield.
Let's return to the raging battlefield.
As a commando force, the Gurkha New Army under Liao Xiangdong has always been at the forefront.
However, their casualties were also the highest.
"Commander, another army of Korean servants has surrendered." One of his regiment commanders came over and reported.
"Fuck, let them hand over their weapons and wait for the troops behind to receive them."
Decreasing too many troops will slow down Liao Xiangdong.
"Commander, are you going to leave it here like this?" The officer meant to leave someone to guard it.
"Let's leave one class to guard them. Where did I get so many people to look after the prisoners?" Liao Xiangdong wanted to curse. Too many prisoners would be a big problem.
Now all the troops are rushing forward, and after the general offensive begins, there will be more loopholes in the encirclement.
The enemy troops were running around and intersecting with the coalition forces.
Sometimes the coalition forces and the Yin army passed each other across a mountain ridge.
Even if a soldier urinates while resting, he will encounter enemy soldiers.
"One squad? Isn't that too few?" the officer asked in disbelief. There were at least several thousand prisoners in this wave.
"It's okay, just put away their weapons. I understand these Ah Sans. Now that they have surrendered, they will not run away. Of course, if they run away with bare hands and are killed by other troops, they won't blame us."
Liao Xiangdong said.
After saying that, he drove his horse and continued to chase the troops in front.
The battle to capture the enemy troops in the encirclement is basically over.
Chen Yucheng stood on a hill with a good view on the battlefield under the tight protection of his guards.
Scattered corpses, damaged sports cars, artillery barrels rolled to the side, and prisoners who were joining together with their hands raised and being held by coalition soldiers with bayonets.
What Chen Yucheng could see was only a corner of the battlefield. Such scenes were spread across a huge battlefield with a radius of dozens of kilometers.
A battle involving millions of people is something that many people will never encounter in their lifetime.
As a general, I must be proud to be able to participate in commanding a battle of this scale.
But this is unfortunate for the officers and soldiers on the losing side.
"Commander-in-Chief, what a great victory!" A staff officer hurried into Peng Yulin's headquarters and brought the latest news from the front line.
This battle of breakthrough in the middle and outflanking from both ends was won.
The victory of the Allied Forces and the Japanese Army on the subcontinent has been decided. But the war is still not over.
After this battle, the main force of the Yin army was disabled.
However, they still had some remnant soldiers who used the cities behind to resist, but at this time the morale of the Yin army was already low.
Soon the battlefield was cleaned up and a more detailed report was handed over to Peng Yulin.
In this battle, a total of 150,000 enemy troops were annihilated and 120,000 were captured.
Some of the soldiers still broke out.
Especially when the Yin army in the middle was defeated, it retreated to the rear, and the coalition forces did not pursue it because they had to rush to outflank the Yin army on the north and south wings.
Mumbai City, Governor's Palace.
Earl Canning put down the report in his hand, but his hands were still trembling.
At the same time, his face also became paler.
"How could this happen? Hundreds of thousands of troops were lost like this!" Earl Canning said slowly to himself.
"Hurry up and give orders to General Robert in the north to withdraw to Bombay. Hurry!"
There is no other way, Earl Canning has to prepare a retreat for himself.
Another week has passed, and the coalition's front continues to advance, which can be described as overwhelming.
Volta City lasted less than half a day, and most of the war supplies were stored here.
When the coalition forces entered the city, the Japanese army did not even have time to destroy these supplies.
When Chen Yucheng entered the city, he couldn't help but be jealous when he saw the mountains of supplies.
Because the coalition's raid was so rapid, the Yin army did not have time to consume the reserves of supplies.
However, these are all captured by the coalition forces, and must ultimately be handed over to the coalition headquarters for distribution.
After Volta City, the defenses of the cities further back are even weaker.
All the Yin troops who had retreated were temporarily stationed there.
These people have no intention of guarding the city.
Usually when the coalition forces arrive, they only make some token resistance and then retreat.
The coalition forces attacked all the way to Nashik, northeast of Mumbai. General Robert, who hurriedly retreated from the northern defense line, took advantage of the delay of the coalition forces on the road and built a temporary defense line here.
This is the last line of defense outside the city of Mumbai. After passing here, the coalition forces entered the coastal plains from the central plateau area.
This condescending attack will be very beneficial to the coalition forces.
It is precisely because of this that Robert led his people to set up a defense line here.
He knew very well that if this place was lost, there would be no need for the city of Bombay to hold on.
By this time, the areas controlled by the Yin Army in the subcontinent were only limited to the tiny city of Bombay.
And will the coalition give them this chance to breathe?
The troops of the Northern Alliance also pressed forward from the north. They captured Gujarat without any blood and pushed their troops directly to the Tana area.
With the coordination of the war zone, the Tamil Kingdom in the south also sent troops to bypass Goa and encircle Mumbai from the south.
Sir Canning only had about 100,000 troops left in his hands, of which only 50,000 were left in the army.
The 200,000 expeditionary force he brought over had been completely lost.
The Great Empire has never suffered such heavy losses in its history.
The only way for him now is to surrender.
There is a fleet blockade of the Renaissance Army on the sea to the west, and on land Mumbai is surrounded on three sides by more than half a million troops.
With an army of half a million people and such a huge advantage, Peng Yulin would not give the Yin army any time to delay.
If so many people stay for one more day, the amount of supplies consumed will be astronomical.
"Send an ultimatum to the Japanese in Bombay. We only give them five days to consider surrender, otherwise I don't mind having 100,000 more prisoners." Peng Yulin ordered.
Peng Yulin was on his way to the front line at this time.
He will not be absent at the last moment of this victory.
Calcutta, the new holy city of the Holy Army.
Shi Dakai has already moved his capital here.
Ding Sujia was too young, and the small white building was too simple, and it could no longer accommodate Shi Dakai's ambition.
During the confrontation between the coalition forces in Nagpur.
Shi Dakai is busy developing the new Holy Capital City.
The heritage left by the Chinese people is very rich.
The originally magnificent Governor's Mansion became Shi Dakai's palace.
This is a real palace.
There are now relatively advanced docks and train stations here. There are also a large number of factories in the city.
Even the workers in the factory are ready-made.
Many materials used by the coalition forces were directly produced by these factories.
Because the cost of producing locally is much lower than shipping it from the sea.
A black car stopped in front of the Holy Palace.
A tall, middle-aged Chinese official with thick eyebrows and eagle eyes came out.
Li Shaoquan got out of the car.
Recently, a shipload of military supplies arrived in Calcutta. In addition to some military jeeps, there are also some high-end cars like this.
Dong Shuheng gave each of the vassal states in the Greater China Circle a car.
This means that a new era is coming. These elites are the first to experience the dividends brought by the new era.
In front of the huge marble pillars, Shi Dakai, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, is tall and straight, with a majestic air.
He still retains the spirit of a military commander. Although he has a noble status, he has no airs at all.
Because Li Shaoquan, who came here today, represents the Renaissance Army.
He had seen a lot of things recently. Although these things were dead, they made him deeply feel the power of the Renaissance Army.
That kind of noisy tractor, with its slender chimney spitting black smoke, can pull a 100mm heavy gun everywhere, even if the road is muddy and uneven, it is not affected, and it is more powerful than a war horse.
The most important thing is to carry things without feeling tired.
Most of the heavy artillery shipped in recent times are equipped with heavy-duty tractors for towing.
There is also the machine gun that fires automatically, which can fire continuously without hand cranking. The rate of fire is four to five times that of before, but the failure rate has been reduced a lot.
If equipped in large quantities on the battlefield, it would be impossible to break through the opponent's defense line purely by relying on numbers.
Not to mention the huge airship that flew that day, its length of hundreds of meters simply exceeded the limit of human imagination.
Shi Dakaidu a few years ago might have thought that it must be a miracle.
Facing such a powerful and unpredictable Renaissance Army, even if Shi Dakai is a real dragon, he still has to stay calm.
"Hello, Mr. Li." Shi Dakai showed a friendly smile on his dark face, and he even took the initiative to greet him.
"The Holy King is well." Li Shaoquan also took the initiative to hand over his luggage.
After all, he is the leader of the country, so Li Shaoquan is still very considerate to his opponent.
Although the war is not completely over yet, and the Japanese are still fighting their final battle against the enemy in the city of Bombay, there is no suspense about the victory of the coalition forces.
Li Shaoquan also needs to be active in advance. Once the war is over, the post-war reconstruction of the subcontinent will begin.
The territory of each country will be finally confirmed.
In order to avoid any trouble by then, Li Shaoquan planned to discuss the issue of territorial division with the kings of each country in advance.
In this way, it is much better for him to talk to each other alone than when everyone sits together and quarrels.
