The south of the mangrove swamp in the south of the city, including the east and west docks and the Cleve Army Port, and the Miliore Navy base. It announced the martial law as early as a week ago. Today, the alert level is significantly improved.
Go to the dock area and military port, the road of the naval base ***, from the morning, there have been military vehicles, buses, off -road vehicles, off -road and cars from time to time.
With the deliberate killing of the Massacre to conceal the massacre, coupled with the great plague that has occurred in the city of Karachi and the surrounding areas, the European and American reporters in western India are extinct. Therefore
It is said that it is to eliminate all possible safety hazards.
An Yi and his wife Ou Chuer, Feng Jieyun, together with the South China Navy Command and various fleets, the fleet generals, as well as the relatives of the French Navy's Indian Fleet and the American fleet, a total of more than 1,200
Military Port, welcome the French Navy generals who are on the north.
Karachi is located on the northwest side of the Indian River Delta. It is on the south of the Arabian Sea. The terrain is flat and surrounded by many sandbars, islands. There are two seasons in the city surrounded by rivers.
Two centuries ago, Karachi was still a small fishing village. After the British occupation in 1842, due to the development of the port and the construction of the railway, it became a gateway to the Indian River Basin, cotton, wheat and other crops inland in India.
Then, then
After entering the 1930s, with the rapid development of industry and commerce, the port area of Karachi continued to expand, west of Meroala Island, on the basis of the original western pier, the East Pier and the Belong Port of the Cleveton Military Port were expanded.
With the dock, a large naval base was built at the mouth of the River in Microsoft, which can fully accommodate a main fleet to settle in.
As a result, the Carachian population also developed from 90,000 people in the end of the last century to 260,000 people this year.
There are less than 10,000 people. If it is not urgently, 50,000 workers have been transferred from all parts of South China, especially the 20,000 dock workers from various ports, it is estimated that even maintaining the normal operation of the port area will not be able to do it.
In the beginning of this month, after inspecting the nuclear submarine manufacturer in the southern part of the Jin'er Peninsula, An Yi went to the Saigon Ship Factory. The Xunxun Shipyard inspected the launch of the shipping car that the Marine Corps urgently needed.
The dock -type landing transportation ship was built, and then observed three large -scale landing practitioners jointly held by the Navy and the Army in the Chao Phrase River in the South China Bay and the Meikou area of the Mekong River in Nei Nanhua Bay.
Jiao's wife converged, took a four -round passenger aircraft, and set off to Karachi.
Before separating from Gong Qian, An Yi told her to return to Syrian House and accelerated the development of water and land tanks and amphibious tanks, making the landing combat troops not weaker than the weapons and equipment configured by the defensive configuration.
On the military port pier, the schools of French, Russians, Jewish and Chinese navy gathered in groups, and they whispered, and from time to time, they made a hearty laughter.
Navy Commander Cheng Guang frowned slightly when he saw such a scene, and his face turned a little solemn.
Although it is extremely good news to get the support of the French Navy, there are also many problems that come with it. The most typical one is that it is difficult to get the first, second and third fleets of the South China Navy and the Beibu Gulf.
, in the two squadrons in Nanhua Bay, Chinese officers and soldiers have gained a numerical advantage over French officers and soldiers, but now with the addition of the main fleet of the French Navy, the South China Navy will face a situation where French officers and soldiers have an absolute upper hand.
Although An Yi, the General Staff, the National Security Bureau and the Navy held many meetings on this, at most they could divert some officers and soldiers to naval bases, naval military academies and training fleets. The rest of the French officers and soldiers had no place to resettle.
Even under such circumstances, they would still choose to stay in the fleet, which would pose a threat to the stability and loyalty of the Nanhua Navy.
Seeing Cheng Cheng's anxious look, An Yi felt something in his heart. He knew what he was worried about, so he told Ou Chu'er and Feng Jieyun, walked quickly to Cheng Cheng's side, and asked with concern: "Why, you, a navy man, are worried?"
Will the commander be ousted by the French?"
Cheng Chengguang smiled bitterly: "It's a lie to say that I'm not worried. This time, our navy will have to add at least a few more main fleets. Dozens of French naval admirals occupy leadership positions in the fleet, exerting influence on us in all aspects. However,
None of this is terrible. The worst thing is that if they use the fleet they control as a bargaining chip and are bribed to defect to other countries, I, the naval commander, will have no shame in seeing others."
"That's right!"
An Yi's face became serious, and he nodded and said: "This worry is necessary. After all, the fleet is drifting on the sea all year round. Who can guarantee that these French people who are always busy will not have second thoughts? I have been thinking about this matter again and again during this time.
, Fortunately, when Lao Shen briefed me on the situation of the U.S. Navy last night, I got some inspiration and had some ideas in my mind... Cheng Guang, do you know how many U.S. forces there were before the outbreak of the European War last September?
A naval academy?"
"this--"
Lu Guang was thinking about what wonderful ideas An Yi would have to solve his troubles. When he heard his question, he couldn't help but froze for a moment, thought about it carefully, and said with some uncertainty: "Maybe it's the *** Tenth Institute.
!”
"wrong!"
An Yi waved his hand: "Even if we include all the naval training centers in the United States, it does not reach fifty. However, these naval military academies comprehensively cover the different stages of the navy from advanced to junior, with different levels of teaching tasks and target groups.
They all have their own differences, and can basically satisfy the needs of the United States in peacetime.
However, who can imagine that by this time this year, the Americans have expanded the number of their naval academies to 329 in one go. According to intelligence agency predictions, in two or three years, this number will
The number may reach more than 900, or even exceed 1,000.
"Before the war, there were about 250,000 officers and men in the U.S. Navy. By September this year, there were more than 300,000. It is expected that as the United States joins the war in the future, the number of U.S. Navy personnel will rapidly expand to 1 million, 2 million, or even 3 million.
, the growth rate will be more than ten times. According to the suggestions of the US government, especially President Roosevelt,
Training a large number of qualified naval officers and soldiers in a short period of time is a task of great significance, and the work of the government and naval departments must be centered around this. Up to now, the number of people in the United States who attend naval academies every day exceeds three
There are about 10,000 people, and it is expected that this number will expand more than ten times as the United States enters the war.
"At the same time, the U.S. Navy is not only satisfied with the training of officers, non -commissioned officers and candidates, reserve officers and sergeants, but also built a recruit training center. So far, three training centers have been built. Many people have never seen warships in the past.
The appearance is just a model warship in training, but after a few weeks of training, even if they are a qualified sailor, they can accept the call of the motherland at any time! "
"What do the United States do so many naval officers and soldiers do? Do they have so many ships?" The road was surprised to ask.
"Participating in the Navy does not mean that you need to serve on the battleship. They have many jobs to do!"
Speaking of this, An Yi showed a admirable look on his face: "Sometimes I have to admit that Americans know how to play their strengths. In the eyes of Americans, the nature of naval battles is actually fighting logistics because the battle is in thousands of thousands of thousands of thousands, because the battle is in thousands of, because the battle is in several thousand,
The sea surface outside the sea is carried out from the local area. This requires a thorough supply system to ensure that the food, fuel, and ammunition supply of ocean formations, including refueling at sea, maintenance and technical guarantee.
"Although, since the last European war, the navy of various countries has rarely paid attention to logistics work, but in general, there is still some progress in maritime logistics supply. For example
The experiment of refueling during sailing, that was the American destroyer formation crossed the Atlantic Ocean to Qinst.
*The Navy was completed in the Bay of Bangladesh in the Indian Ocean.
"With Germany's invasion of Poland, *** raging Southeast Asia and India, Americans have to pay for their previous short -sightedness. You know, only last year, Americans sold a large number of ready -made and announced transport ships that were scrapped nearly three.
Millions of tons, half of which are second -hand cruise ships and merchant ships. This has caused the U.S. Navy, which is mobilized to seriously lack of supply ships, oil boats, ammunition shipping ships and other transport vessels.
Enter the fleet sequence.
"Such a maritime logistics support forces and the fast aircraft carrier formation can be said to be a unique creativity and a new interpretation of the art of war. Through this method, Americans can change the remote and remote Jiaoyu at any time.
To become a navy base, it not only needs to provide floating docks to the Navy, but also needs to be a maintenance workshop at sea. The items carried on the cargo ship are also available, such as food, trucks, cloth, toothpaste, toilet paper, etc.
It is inseparable from the participation of the Navy generals.
"Therefore, I suddenly thought that we could fully imitate Americans and expand our naval military academy from 12 to 150. These new naval military schools need to be experienced in paddy.
Building five thousand people's scale of water training centers and training navy recruits. All these places are built. At least 200,000 staff members are required. I think even if all the staff of this fleet are filled in.
"At the same time, in order to eliminate the worries of French officers and soldiers, those who choose to leave the ship will be promoted, promoted, salary, and other preferential treatments. I think that if this, those problems you worry about may be solved!"
The journey was overjoyed, grabbing An Yi's hand, and a big state: "Oh, this can solve my big trouble! As long as I can take two -thirds of the French crew members who manipulate the ship, I am confident to put this this
The branch fleet is firmly in control. From your analysis, you can use the experienced seafarers and officers to enrich the naval foundation and low and middle and high -level education. No matter which aspect of it, it is said.
"Life at sea is not wonderful, can stay with his wife and children, and can enjoy better benefits and treatment than sea, smart people will make wise decisions."
Seeing that the journey was overwhelming, An Yi smiled and said, "Want to open this time? In fact, for us, these warships mainly reduce the time and costs of our own ships.
The naval officers and crew driving the warship, but must not use these warships as the main force of the naval battle! The ace of the future naval battle must be an aircraft carrier.
The Navy can rely on the advantages of the number of aircraft carriers and carrier -based aircraft to get the British chickens flying dogs and flee!
"I have to say that there is no spectacular and exciting shot by the naval battle in the current naval war. Some are just the carrier -based aircraft on both sides. You come to me and go to a hundred nautical miles! Of course, I don’t say that the giant ship cannon is useless.
After the transformation, these ships are still very good to air defense and escort the aircraft carrier. In addition, to deal with the targets of land, or cover the landing operations, the cannons of these warships can still play a greater role. This is not the aircraft carrier on the aircraft carrier ship.
The effect of carrier -based aircraft can achieve!
"The soldiers are not constant and the water is not as normal. We just want to give play to the advantages of our naval arms and strengthen our armed forces. The role of the navy will become more and more obvious. We must take advantage of the French Navy's main fleet to vote
Our good time, build our navy into a world -class navy! ""
The journey nodded again and again, and was about to speak. Suddenly Shen Fengdao walked behind the two, and whispered softly:
"According to the Air Force investigation, there are still less than half an hour, the French fleet will appear on the sea level south. If any of the warships fought a few guns to the military port, they would have chaos.
The department also has the confidence that the other party is sincere, but it cannot be guaranteed to be absolutely safe! The so -called harmful heart is indispensable, and the heart of preventing people must not be available. Once the worst situation occurs, it will be too late! Therefore, I think we think we can
Now it's best to enter the underground command center of the base, and come out after the battleships enter the Hong Kong completely. "
As soon as An Yi heard it, he frowned: "When we leave at this time, will it give people a bad impression?"
"It's okay!"
Shen Fengdao shook his head: "In fact, there is indeed something. According to exact intelligence, the plague in India has burst into a comprehensive outbreak.
Unstoppable ... There are suddenly a large number of Indians migrated to the Indian River controlled by the Indian River that India people. We must take out a charter as soon as possible, otherwise there will be chaos. "
An Yi was shocked: "This matter really cannot be ignored. Let's have a meeting and come up with a solution as soon as possible." After saying that, An Yi quickly walked to the Navy and asked Jin, deputy commander of the Navy and director of education at the Naval Command College.
Admiral Saul explained the unexpected situation.
Jinsol said quickly: "This matter is indeed very urgent. No one wants to be threatened by the plague... Chairman, go ahead and do your work. This matter must be handled as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be endless!"
It has been almost two years since he became a South China citizen. Jin Sol can now speak Mandarin fluently. An Yi has also taken the time to learn French in order to communicate face to face with the French. There are no barriers to dialogue, so the two sides can communicate easily.
easy.
As the location of a large military port and military base built by the British, Karachi not only has strong forts, but also has good defense projects to avoid large-scale air strikes and naval artillery shelling. The military command center in the port area is built two miles away from the coastline.
Kilometers, with an altitude of more than 100 meters, the hillside of Butte Mountain is more than 30 meters deep into the ground. The outside is reinforced with reinforced concrete, which can withstand the aerial bombs and artillery shells of this era without any pressure.
An Yi, Ou Chuer, and Feng Jieyun entered the bunker, asked the female bodyguard to take the two ladies to rest, and then walked into the command center conference room alone.
The generals stood up together. An Yi saw that in addition to the naval political commissar Yan Kaitai and deputy commander Jiang Shangmin who stayed at the port to take charge of the reception, his sworn brother Li Jinlong, the navy commander Cheng Guang, the chief of staff Wei Mingyang and the generals who accompanied him on the tour were all present. He couldn't help but smile.
He greeted everyone one by one, then pressed his hands to indicate everyone to sit down, and then asked: "Who will introduce the situation of the great plague in India?"
Colonel Fu Mingshan, deputy director of the Intelligence Department of the General Staff, stood up on his own initiative, walked to the large map of India on one side of the conference room, held a baton in his hand, and said loudly:
"Previously, we closed the border with the areas controlled by Shengshicai Ministry in order to prevent people from both sides from flowing freely, making it impossible to prevent the plague. But what is strange is that for such a long time, no one has entered our territory.
Territory. With the large-scale defection of Sheng Shicai’s men this morning and tens of thousands of Indians pouring into the areas under our control, we learned that Sheng Shicai had previously deployed at the border
He mobilized troops and arranged a relatively dense patrol team to shoot anyone trying to cross the border. However, now there are also large-scale illnesses within Sheng Shicai's army. Many people died tragically. The morale of the army is completely lost. The border defense line
The news collapsed. All people who crossed the border today have been placed in refugee camps near the border, and are under unified quarantine and observation, and are receiving targeted treatment.
"According to Gai Jia, commander of the 13th Regiment of the 5th Division of Sheng Shicai's Cavalry Army who defected, in the middle of last month, the cavalry army commanded by Sheng Shicai's confidant Kazakh Yakov left behind a cavalry division, plus Sheng Shicai's third brother.
Left behind by Sheng Shixiong’s Second Army
One infantry division guarded the area along the Rajasthan Grand Canal, while the remaining eight divisions attacked eastward and fought all the way to the Varanasi area. After contacting the Japanese forwards advancing westward, they turned and retreated to Vindia in the southwest.
Mountains and Malva Plateau.
"As early as the 25th of last month, vomiting, fever and diarrhea appeared in the Eastern Expedition Army, but the top military officials did not pay attention to it. As a result, at the beginning of this month, the epidemic broke out and nearly half of the Eastern Expedition troops died instantly. By luck,
Those who survived also found that they had symptoms of discomfort and were terrified.
, asked for help from Bombay. However, at this time, a horrific plague broke out across the entire subcontinent, from Delhi to Calcutta, Dhaka, and Imphal in the east, from Chandigarh, Lucknow, and Patna in the north to the south.
Bombay, Bangalore, and Madras were all plagued by epidemics, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries.
"As we all know, Indians are probably the least sanitary ethnic group in the world. There are no public toilets on the streets of towns. Most families have no independent bathrooms in their living rooms. In India, the earth is the largest open -air toilet.
Or Mumbai, Galcore answered can see that the streets, the railway, the coast, the coast, the Indian people who are so arrogant. "
Seeing everyone's incredible expression, Li Jinlong smiled and joked: "After everyone came to Karachi, did not find that the public toilets on the street were all temporary repair of simple sheds? This is all my troops built! In fact, we, we, we, we
On the way all the way, the latrines were almost dug by themselves. I haven't seen a public toilet. "
"No toilet?"
Zhang Yang, deputy minister of the general logistics department, who has always supported the presence, asked: "Isn't the Indians living in the big ***? Can they stand it?"
Fu Mingshan explained: "After getting the information, I was also surprised, so I found the relevant information, so I believe that I did not read it wrong. It turned out that there was a saying in India that there was a place where there was a wall.
Convenient ', in the downtown area of most towns, just put a few tiles in the walls of the wall and dig a few pits, which has become a convenient place for people to use.
arrive.
"In India, whether it is in the grass, in the shade of the tree, on the side of the road, under the foot of the wall, you can often see the traces of urine flow. Many buildings from the ground to the wall of a meter high, all of which are corroded by nitrate.
For those buildings with mud or mud structures, many fences appear like teeth like periodontitis, and the root will have a deep groove, so it greatly increases the number of dangerous houses.
"There is no toilet, and men don't care. Whether it is day or night, whether there are too many people or less people, they can" solve the problem "as long as they find a place where the walls are on the wall.
They can only hide behind the remote wall before the sunrise, after the sunset, or in shrub, which has greatly increased their chances of being violated and even bitten by snakes, because those places are usually quiet and quiet.
There are few people going. However, the Indians are accustomed to this, thinking that this is a manifestation of being close to nature, and it is their unchanged habit for thousands of years. Many Indians even superstitiously believe that there is a unlucky toilet in the family, so there is no matter how rich at home.
Can't build a toilet.
"In the city of Delhi, every morning, many people ran to the street, or stood, or squatting to release the survival that accumulated one night, making the smell smoked.
And in the countryside of the city, people will run into a thick bushes in a group when sunrise.
There will be a cold in the head of the pigs. These pigs are soft and afraid, and often occur when children are convenient to be attacked by pigs. Snakes are also a headache. There are many snakes in the bushes.
In addition, heavy rain is also a big threat. Residents must cross the deep water of the waist, bypass the hidden holes that are rushed out of the ground, and then start convenient. "
Seeing everyone dumbfounded, An Yi couldn't help but interjected: "Don't the British just care? You know, it's very easy to spread diseases everywhere, and the British will also become victims of this bad habit."
"I tried, but it's no use!"
Fu Mingshan shook his head: "In the early days of the British entering India, a number of public toilets were built in some cities. However, it turns out that people would rather crowd around the toilets and use urine and feces to destroy the buildings over time.
They were willing to squat in the toilet for convenience. Seeing that it was not effective, the British simply did not bother to build toilets in British residential areas, churches, parks or high-end restaurants and hotels. Some wealthy Indians or those with
Educated Indians also build toilets at home.
"There are also some Indians who are very disgusted with the bad habits of their own nation. For example, Gandhi, the leader of the Indian National Congress, is a person who pays great attention to health. After he returned to India from South Africa more than 30 years ago, he felt that
The most unpleasant thing is the poor public health situation. He said, "What is scattered on this land is not beautiful towns and villages, but piles of excrement. When entering the cities and villages of India, we have to
close
Eyes, pinch your nose, the piles of garbage and bursts of stench around you are too eyesore and too pungent." Regarding toilets, Gandhi said fourteen years ago, "Indian toilets bring shame to our civilization.
, They violated the principles of hygiene.', 'I have known since I was a child that the toilet must be as clean as the living room of every family.' This shows how bad the hygiene habits of Indians are. When faced with the coming of the plague,
How powerless."
Lieutenant General Li Yufu, director of the Communications Department of the General Staff, asked: "It's just a toilet problem. It's impossible for the plague to spread so fast and have such a big impact, right?"
"Indeed!"
Fu Mingshan patiently explained: "This is the result of many bad habits. For example, after going to the toilet, Indians do not use toilet paper, but use their left hand to pour water to clean the toilet door, and then wash their left hand with water. There are no trash cans on the street.
Therefore, people can litter anywhere and anytime. At the same time, Indian tableware is not sterilized and there is no habit of boiling it with boiling water for sterilization. They also have the custom of grabbing and catching food with their hands. They usually do this when eating...
."
Fu Mingshan said while gesturing with his hands: "They usually don't wash their hands before eating. They just use their dark hands to pick up the food they like from the table. They use the left hand to hold the tray and the right hand to grab the food, using their thumb and index finger.
and middle finger, mix the sticky rice evenly, pour the milk,
Pour the drink in and continue to stir it, then grab it and eat it. Indians have a clear division of labor with their hands. Except for going to the toilet, they usually use their right hand. Therefore, when they meet friends, they are very taboo about extending their left hand to shake hands.
When purchasing items, you can only pay with your right hand.
"Indians like to drink boiled water. They usually fill water tanks at home, and drink water directly from containers when they get home. However, when traveling, restaurants and hotels usually do not supply hot water. Even in big hotels and hotels,
First of all, the guests are given a cup of raw water. Since the water quality in most cities is not good, drinking raw water is very easy to get sick, but Indians enjoy it and think it is their excellent tradition!"
An Yi sighed: "When we in southern Sichuan, southern Yunnan and southern China forcibly punished people who committed rape and littered on the streets with flogging or even imprisonment, I am afraid no one would have thought that in India,
The place is actually like this! With so many bad habits, it is not difficult to imagine the plague in India. If nothing else, just drinking a lot of river water mixed with corpses and viruses from the upper reaches of the Ganges is enough to send people to death.
Lose your life!
"Humans are mobile creatures. India's convenient railways and roads have brought plagues and viruses from the Ganges River Basin to various places. They are spread through flies, mosquitoes and other organisms that breed in open toilets. Then the dead people pollute water sources.
It will cause greater pollution. From this point of view, the plague in India will be more terrifying than we imagined.
"I don't know what's happened to the Japanese troops now. It's estimated that they are also beginning to be infected with the plague and the virus! As the Japanese troops move, the virus and plague may spread to Southeast Asia and even China! It seems that we have to activate the emergency plan, otherwise we will be in big trouble!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~
***: Haha, this chapter exposed some bad habits of Indians. These bad habits still continue in India today, which is really incredible!
