Mumbai is a large city on the west coast of India and the largest seaport in the country. It is the capital of the Indian state of Maharashtra. It is located on Bombay Island, 16 kilometers away from the coast. It is connected by bridges and causeways. It was occupied by Portugal in 1534 and transferred to the British in 1661.
As an important trade center, Mumbai, the gateway to western India, is the commercial and entertainment capital of India and has important financial institutions such as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) and
The city is home to many Indian companies and is home to India's Hindi film and television industry (known as Bollywood). Due to its vast business opportunities and relatively high standard of living, Mumbai attracts immigrants from across India, making the city
a hodgepodge of social groups and cultures
On December 23, 1534, the Portuguese obtained these islands from the Sultan Bahadur Shah of Gujarat. On June 23, 1661, Princess Catherine of Portugal married King Charles II of England, and these islands became
The dowry was given to Britain. In September 1668, these islands were subleased to the British East India Company, with an annual rent of 10 pounds. The company built a deep-water port on the east coast of the island as their first port in the South Asian subcontinent.
The population of the port city grew rapidly, from 10,000 in 1661 to 60,000 in 1675; in 1687, the British East India Company moved its headquarters from Surat to Bombay, which eventually became the headquarters of the Bombay Presidency.
From 1817 onwards, the city underwent a large-scale transformation. Large-scale civil engineering projects merged the group of islands into one large piece. This project was called the Hornby Reclamation Project. It was completed in 1845 and caused the city's area to increase several times to 438.
In 1853, the railway connecting Bombay and Thane was opened to traffic. This was India's first passenger railway line. During the American Civil War (1861-1865), Bombay became the world's leading cotton trading market, bringing the city
Soon after the economic boom, with the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, Mumbai's urban status became more important, becoming one of the largest seaports on the Arabian Sea. Over the next thirty years, the city grew into a major central city, stimulating
With the improvement of the city's infrastructure and the construction of many institutional buildings in 1906, the city's population swelled to 1 million, ranking second in India after Calcutta. As the capital of the Bombay Presidency, it was also the main focus of the Indian independence movement.

On May 1, 1935, after the Qin army drove the Indians on the Brahmaputra River to Chhattisgarh and Orissa, they gave up their occupation of the two places.
The Qin army retreated quietly. The British and Indian troops in Andhra Pradesh were always on tenterhooks, but the Qin army would attack them. How could they dare to inquire deeply about the news? It took almost a week for them to get the news that the Qin army had withdrawn from the two states. However, the two states
There is also a part occupied by the Muslim League. The Muslim League now has 150,000 troops and is being trained as an officer by the Qin Army. Some of them are responsible for helping the Qin Army transport grain and grass.
After Sun Chuanling and Li Huixian's Second and Fourth Army gave up the two states, the Second Army took full control of Madhya Pradesh, and the Fourth Army marched into Maharashtra and successfully controlled most of the area.
Next, the two armies will launch an attack to eliminate the Indian army gathered along the coast of Mumbai. However, there is also a huge navy here. I am afraid that there is no way to take down Mumbai on the island. Wang Jiuling can only regret that Mumbai
But if we can capture a big city with a population of over a million, there will be countless amounts of money in it.
The British have a huge fleet in Mumbai. This means that if the Qin army does not destroy the British navy, it will not be able to get close to the Indian cities on the coast. Otherwise, they will be blasted into ashes by hundreds of millimeters of naval guns, and they will not be able to capture them.
We can only destroy them, and we must not leave it to the British.
On May 4, the Fourth Army, supported by the artillery division and 150 bombers and 100 fighter planes, launched an attack, while the Second Army in Madhya Pradesh was responsible for containing the British and Indian troops assembled in New Delhi.
To prevent them from supporting the Anglo-Indian troops in Bombay
At the beginning of the war, the Qin Air Force was the first to wake up and infiltrate the British army, which made the British and Indian troops panic. The Air Force also bombed the British and Indian Army, Air Force and important facilities in Mumbai and other places in India early in the morning.
After solving their air force, the Qin Air Force began to bomb the positions and barracks of the British and Indian troops, and then the armored divisions and infantry launched an offensive across the board.
By May 5, the Qin army successfully compressed the British and Indian troops to Mumbai, Tana and other coastal areas. With the protection of the navy, the British did not worry that the Qin army would attack Mumbai.
Although the Indians in Mumbai heard the sound of artillery outside, they were still relatively relieved. Although the Qin Army's army was indeed powerful, it was impossible to attack Mumbai across the sea, not to mention that the British still had a huge fleet in Mumbai.

However, the Qin army has no intention of occupying Mumbai, nor does it intend to occupy it for a long time. Wang Jiuling will not spend such a high price to capture Mumbai.
The main force of the Qin army was stationed on land thirty kilometers away from the coast. Only a small group of troops were sent to conduct infiltration operations, while the other part went to collect gold, silver and jewelry. With previous experience, all Qin army soldiers now know that India
Where do people put their valuables?
India is a peaceful country, so the people here have low IQs and do not store their money tightly. At first, the soldiers hid the money themselves to find Indian money. At the beginning, they easily gave it away and found a lot of money.
Regarding money, I secretly cursed that India is really rich. I thought like the Chinese, with so much money, they must have kept it tightly, such as hiding it in a mouse hole, digging a hole and burying it, but dig out the mouse hole or chicken coop according to your own method.
, or something, they didn’t find a dime, which made the Qin soldiers very angry. Later, people who came to the Muslim League found out that the Indians didn’t have the habit of hiding money in that kind of place, and the soldiers were very awkward.
There's no point in going to Ah San's house and opening the cabinet to take away all of Ah San's savings. I've been here for so many days and I'm used to it, but I don't have to spend a lot of effort to find it, but it's much easier.
So every day there were transport planes transporting large amounts of money back to Qin. At the same time, good news came one after another every day. Wang Jiuling couldn't believe it was true. Although the British army was beaten by the Japanese army in the early stage, they lost their armor in the later stage.
