In response to the provocative behavior of the British Navy and to cover the military operations of the Pacific Fleet aircraft carrier formation in the southeastern Indian Ocean to transport Chinese expeditionary officers and soldiers, the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Anjia Army Navy held a naval event named "Dongfanghong" in the eastern waters of Toamasina Port.
Military exercises.
Prior to this, An Yi met with the British representative, the former Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs Lord Cranbourne, at the military port of Cap-de-Calais on Reunion Island. He refuted the other party's ridiculous remarks, saying that this incident was forced on us by the British.
, the incident took place in the territory newly occupied by our country, and it was not a deliberate provocation by our army.
An Yi said forcefully: An Jiajun has never been afraid of war. If someone wants to force war on us, we will fully support them and they will definitely make the other party pay a heavy price!
Faced with An Yi's raging anger, Lord Cranbourne had no choice but to leave Reunion Island and return to England in despair.
An Yi held a press conference and sternly elaborated on his position, reminding the British government that the confrontation between the two camps is not over yet and should not do anything that would make those who are close and those who are enemies happy.
This incident was originally an unauthorized act by the generals below. At present, the British government is seeking help from Nanhua, and Churchill has no intention of falling out. Under this situation, Churchill had no choice but to hold a press conference in Washington, saying that although Mauritius is an important overseas territory of the United Kingdom,
, but in view of the current complicated international situation, we can put aside the dispute for the time being and wait for peaceful negotiations after the war is over. We will never go to war with our allies in the calmed down Indian Ocean waters.
After receiving the aggrieved statement from the British Prime Minister, the entire Chinese world was in jubilation. When had the once arrogant "Empire on which the sun never sets" ever seen such submission? This is the most powerful proof of the improvement of the international status of South China and the Chinese!
While in Reunion Island, An Yi visited the officers and soldiers stationed on the island, inspected the land-based airport on the island, communicated cordially with the pilots, and accompanied by the stationed generals, climbed the Grand Brulay Mountain in the southeast to admire Fournay
Beautiful view of the volcano.
After staying in Reunion Island for a week, An Yi went to Mauritius.
Unexpectedly, in Chapter 2196, showing off one's power, although there are no natives on the island of Mauritius, there are actually more than 30,000 Chinese. Most of these Chinese are Hakkas from Guangdong and Fujian, who started to live there two or three centuries ago.
Immigration here reached its climax in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.
For hundreds of years, the Hakka people on the island of Mauritius are still very traditional. They dress and speak very "Hakka". In the daily dishes of every household, Yong Tau Foo and Hakka salted chicken are still reserved dishes. Mauritius Island
Their customs and habits are similar to those of traditional Chinese worship of gods. They are deeply influenced by Taoism and Buddhism of their ancestors. Activities such as worshiping ancestors, burning incense and worshiping Buddha, and sweeping tombs during the Qingming Festival are very common in Mao Island. Among the gods they worship, they are also known as the "Guandi Temple"
The incense is the most prosperous.
Colonel Ou Zhihua, director of the CIA's Africa Division who accompanied An Yi, said: "In the earliest days, the intelligence department in Mauritius was managed by the Southeast Asia Bureau. Since the establishment of the Africa Division in 1940, the work here has been slowly handed over to us. China
People in Africa are mainly concentrated in South Africa and Mauritius. Although they are also distributed in other places, the population is not as dense as these two places.
"Long before the arrival of the Japanese army, all valuable materials in Mauritius were sent to South Africa with the help of the intelligence department. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties among the Chinese on the island after the Japanese occupation, we first used the name of the Xiangjiang Group as a cover to
All industries such as sugar cane gardens, plantations, etc. were transferred to the Heung Kong Group, and then tried their best to meet the Japanese army's needs for agricultural products, without organizing resistance.
"In the more than four years they ruled Mauritius, the Japanese repeatedly transferred Indians, Pakistanis, European-African mixed race and Creole people on the island to Australia, but they did not harm the interests of the Chinese too much. Before the Japanese army retreated, they suddenly attacked the island
The people in Shanghai carried out a brutal and inhumane massacre.
"Originally, the Chinese were also in a critical situation and faced a possible massacre at any time. At the critical moment, Lu Kaiming issued a serious protest to the Japanese government in Hong Kong. After verification, the Japanese army base camp issued an order to the Japanese army in Mauritius, and finally the Chinese were spared the disaster."
An Yi nodded: "How many indigenous people were there on the island?"
"After repeated transfers in the past four years, by the time of the massacre there were less than 100,000 people. Most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled. Young people and healthy people were sent to Australia. We found in the crater of the extinct volcano
The bodies of about 10,000 indigenous people that had been hastily buried were found, and a mass grave was found in the Black River Valley. Other landfill sites are still being searched, but it is estimated that the total number of indigenous people left behind is less than 1,000."
Ou Zhihua is the adopted son of Ou Yaoting. His ancestral home is Yangjiang, Guangdong. He is a resolute and courageous man, but when he talks about the plight of the indigenous people, he still has lingering fears: "Think about how when the Japanese army first arrived, under the guise of national liberation, they deceived many indigenous people into working for them.
The Chinese on the island were bullied miserably.
"But the cunning rabbits died and the lackeys were cooked. These indigenous people were tricked into going to Australia to build roads and mines. Later, the indigenous people found that something was wrong and rebelled. They were ruthlessly suppressed and finally ended up being exterminated. So, invasion
No matter how nice or beautiful the slogan is, when the picture is revealed, everything will reveal its original shape."
"Whoever believes in Little Japan's words will be in trouble!"
Deng Bin, who accompanied An Yi on the inspection, said with emotion: "If our Far East and Dahan Peninsula were not close to the Japanese archipelago, the Japanese would be afraid that we would send out the air force to retaliate. If it weren't for Lu Kaiming and Chen Biao maintaining trade relations with the Japanese army, which would make the Japanese wary of the rat, the Chinese
I’m afraid their experiences are similar to those of the natives!”
"yes!"
An Yi nodded slightly and turned to Xia Jian beside him: "Two days ago, you asked me why I would rather dispatch the fleet to escort the expeditionary force than launch an early landing operation to liberate Southeast Asia as soon as possible. I can tell you now. With the Japanese army
As all fronts shifted from offense to defense, the Japanese had gradually realized that the prospects were not good and began to fall into a state of madness, which is why we were so cautious in attacking Southeast Asia.
"There are tens of millions of Chinese people we sent from China living in the Lanyin Islands and Luzon Islands. We are fully responsible for their safety. Once we launch an attack, no one can guarantee that the Japanese will not jump over the wall in a hurry. Therefore,
, we must formulate a careful action plan, be sure to hit it with one hit, and completely disrupt the Japanese army’s operational deployment in the early stages of the attack, so that we can take active actions to ensure the safety of the Chinese to the greatest extent possible!”
"This is the main reason why our action plan has been postponed until November!"
Yang Fei explained: "Besides the weather, the biggest fear is that the Japanese will take the Chinese as hostages to resist our attacks. Our response method, in addition to formulating a frontal, fast and efficient military advancement plan, also secretly transports guns and ammunition
Go to the Lanyin Islands and the Luzon Islands and arm the Chinese so that they have a certain ability to protect themselves. This will buy us valuable time for our rescue operations."
An Yi stayed on the island of Mauritius for three days, during which he ate and lived with the soldiers, understood their thoughts and solved practical difficulties, and wrote an inscription for the Heroes Monument under construction in Port Louis District. Then he took a special plane on August 12
Rush to Toamasina to attend this maritime exercise aimed at showing off your power.
During this period, journalists from Britain, the United States and other countries were in Madagascar to cover the inhumane massacre committed by the Japanese army. So far, 56 mass graves have been discovered, which shocked the world.
At this point, the Japanese's international reputation has become notorious.
Recalling that Madagascar once established a national independent government with the support of the Japanese army, but the Japanese treated the Madagascars so cruelly, the Latin American countries that lured the wolf into the house were in panic all day long, fearing that the Japanese would also treat them cruelly, and began to be full of hatred towards the Japanese soldiers around them.
Be wary.
For this maritime exercise, most journalists covering Madagascar were invited to board the battleship "Triumph" with An Yi to review the fleet and watch the exercise.
The exercise took place in the Indian Ocean, one hundred nautical miles east of Toamasina Port. The participating ships included four battleships, eight aircraft carriers, four heavy cruisers, eight light cruisers, and 42 destroyers. Although these
Ships only account for less than one-third of the Anjiajun's huge navy, but they still made the reporters present extremely shocked and worried!
What’s shocking is that I don’t know when the Chinese navy became so powerful! What’s worrying is that the “Japanese disaster theory” has been rampant in the past hundred years. Will the Chinese take this opportunity to settle old scores since the Opium War?
On the spacious deck, many French reporters felt that the "Triumph" looked so familiar, but upon closer inspection, there was a huge difference from the image of the "Richelieu" battleship in their memory.
French battleships all have one characteristic. The main guns are all arranged on the front deck. There are no main guns on the aft deck. There are only a few secondary turrets arranged in a stack. The layout of the battleship in front of you is generally the same. The front deck is equipped with two quadruple 380 mm main guns.
The gun is similar to the "Richelieu". But the difference is that in addition to the radar and antenna, the middle part of the battleship is also equipped with a lot of anti-aircraft firepower like a hedgehog. There is no secondary gun on the rear deck, leaving only one
There is a wide platform with two helicopters parked on it.
At the end of the deck, there is a launch platform for seaplanes, which means that this battleship can also take seaplanes.
The British reporters wanted to observe the helicopter up close, but were decisively stopped by the officers and soldiers on the ship. They could only raise their long guns and short cannons from a distance to take pictures. After secretly comparing them with the British battleships, these British reporters suddenly discovered that,
If there was a duel at sea, the British battleships might not be able to gain the upper hand against this new battleship.
American reporters are also uneasy. Many of them know that in the eastern Indian Ocean, there are several huge aircraft carrier formations escorting transport convoys to the Southwest Pacific theater. Now they see this ship with a displacement of nearly 50,000 tons.
A new type of battleship, and felt a hint of heartfelt fear about the true strength of the Nanhua Navy.
When the three battleships in the battleship formation passed by the side of the viewing ship in sequence, An Yi, who was standing on the bridge of the battleship "Triumph", was filled with emotion.
Thanks to the correct approach and the introduction of French technology and talents, the Anjiajun Navy has been on a high-speed track since its establishment, and now it has finally reached a level with the great powers.
For example, the three battleships in front of me were originally 26,000-ton dreadnoughts built by the French in World War I. Their equipment was extremely backward. However, after the Anjiajun Navy upgraded and transformed it, many unnecessary facilities were removed.
, equipped with advanced radar and electronic equipment, a completely new look. The front main guns of the three battleships are unified into two quadruple 305 mm main guns, and the middle is a dense anti-aircraft gun. The secondary guns on the rear deck have all been removed, and they are equipped with two helicopters.
, looks majestic.
The navy officers and soldiers of the Anjia Army lined up on the deck and side of the battleship, with neat military appearance and high morale. Their young faces and the image of the giant ship's cannon deeply shocked every visiting reporter.
Following the three battleships was a powerful aircraft carrier formation.
Although there are only three main aircraft carriers among the eight aircraft carriers, one of them is modified from the 50,000-ton battleship "Jean Bart". It floats on the sea like a moving mountain, which is thrilling to see.
Due to the upcoming exercise, the carrier-based aircraft were not released and were arranged neatly on the deck, which was dazzling to watch.
Many British reporters secretly counted in their minds, and found that this powerful aircraft carrier formation has a total of 400 carrier-based aircraft. If the Royal Navy's main fleet were to confront it, it may not have a chance of winning, let alone in Cape Town and South Africa.
The squadron was stationed in Port Elizabeth.
Behind the aircraft carrier formation appeared a powerful strike formation composed of heavy cruisers and light cruisers.
The heavy cruisers in the formation were all carefully built by France after World War I. Their displacements were generally more than 10,000 tons. Their main guns were quadruple 203 mm caliber naval guns. They still had radar and electronic systems, as well as numerous anti-aircraft guns. On the rear platform
Carrying a seaplane, it looks majestic.
Although the main guns of the light cruisers have different calibers, their anti-aircraft firepower is unusually powerful. The 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft cannon and the 20mm Oerlikon cannon are like dense spikes, which is shocking to see.
The result of a collision with a fleet that places such emphasis on air defense is destined to be catastrophic. Most reporters began to observe a moment of silence in advance for the pilots who attempted to conduct air strikes against the Anjia Army fleet.
The next thing that appeared in everyone's sight was the destroyer formation, which also gave people a great sense of oppression. The guided missile destroyers assigned to the Indian Ocean Fleet did not appear in this exercise, otherwise the shock would be even greater.
.
After the destroyer formation, torpedo boats, minesweepers and auxiliary ship formations also slowly passed through this sea area. Next, the exercise officially began.
In the half-day exercise, three battleships and heavy cruisers played the role of "invaders", while the defending aircraft carrier actively launched a counterattack under the protection of light cruisers and destroyers.
As the current war has come to an end, there is not much novelty in the tactics of such an exercise. Under the attack of aircraft carrier-based aircraft, the "invaders" were quickly repelled.
After the confrontation drill, the fleet also conducted maritime supply and maintenance training. The skilled movements and precise skills of the Anjiajun sailors left a deep impression on every reporter who observed this event. Many reporters who are familiar with the navy understand that,
The sailors of the Anjia Army are not ordinary people, and their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.
In the evening, An Yi personally met with the officers and sailors who had performed well in the exercise on the battleship "Triumph", rewarded them accordingly, and invited the officers to have dinner with them in the officers' restaurant. Some reporters from major British and American newspapers
As a member of the audience, I ate at the same table and listened to the conversation between An Yi and the navy officers and soldiers of An Jiajun.
The next day, when Churchill visited Roosevelt in Washington, he saw reports about the exercise. He immediately made a transoceanic phone call and ordered the removal of Vice Admiral Mizell from his post as commander of the South African Fleet, and replaced him with the relatively conservative Vice Admiral Holland.
Fleet Commander, and requested to express goodwill to the Anjiajun Navy on behalf of the South African fleet and jointly maintain the security of the Atlantic-Indian Ocean route.
