Age of Rebirth

According to Governor Pajvasali's thinking, this important person should preferably be Her Majesty the Queen, or Prime Minister Winston Churchill, that Tang Qiuli has already made it clear that the emperor and governor on his own side are not enough Weight, he can't think of anyone else who has this qualification?

Moreover, the most damning thing is that only three days are given. From the mainland to India, tens of thousands of miles away, the time on the plane will take as much as 24 hours. If you don’t hurry up and send someone, you will be unwilling The big hat of negotiation is put on the head of our British Empire, so it just fell into Tang Qiuli's conspiracy and gave him an excuse to continue the war!Urgent!

After receiving the telegram from Pajvasali, Prime Minister Churchill, who was absolutely in a bad mood, was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He was arrogant and absolutely undisguised. Enough portion?

But then again, I'm afraid you Tang Qiuli is not enough. Churchill has his own pride. However, Churchill scoffed at Pajvasali's judgment.

In his opinion, this is the judgment of a mentally retarded and an idiot. That Chinese lunatic, has nothing to do when he is idle?After making such a move, he simply refused to negotiate and continued fighting all the way, so what could happen to him?Why bother? Churchill has nothing to do if the Americans don't take action. [

I also lost my temper and people scolded me, but the matter that should be resolved cannot be delayed. This is the only chance for the British Empire not to flee from the South Asian subcontinent. I can't grasp it. I, Churchill, is the sinner who ruined overseas territories. Negotiation is required.

The British cabinet meeting was held overnight. Those cabinet members and generals who had already returned home were summoned by an emergency call from the Prime Minister's office before they could warm their beds. They were all listless and sleepy. Sleepy, like an eggplant beaten by frost.

Cabinet meeting final decision.Charlie Brown, the foreign minister, General Brandes, the chief of staff, George Fernance, the secretary-general of the prime minister's office, and four people, Pajvasali, the governor-general in India, were sent.A negotiating delegation was formed, including diplomatic, military, and Prime Minister Churchill's personal representatives, and other forces. This is probably the highest-level negotiating delegation in British history.

But the mission was to seek peace with the always weak Chinese in order to avoid the power of the British Empire.The fate of being uprooted from the South Asian subcontinent, thinking about this, the members of the delegation, although their faces were ugly, Prime Minister Churchill himself, never had the urge to hit the wall!

A large transport plane carrying the British negotiating delegation took off from a secret field airport outside London in the dim dawn.Fly to the east, God care, these few days.The bombing intensity of the Germans has been significantly reduced, and the German fighter jets have not blocked London's airspace so tightly. Otherwise, such a large transport plane will become a living target for German fighter jets as soon as it takes off.

What the British don't know is.The reason why the British delegation was able to leave London by air was entirely thanks to Tang Qiuli, whom they hated deeply. After rejecting the British low-level delegation's request for negotiation, Tang Qiuli called the German head of state Hitler , asked Hitler.Within three days, do not intercept large planes departing from London.

Hitler's reply was even more interesting, "Old friend, I admire your wisdom even more. The British lost all their capital in the South Asian subcontinent. It seems that in the spring of [-], For my old friend, it is a harvest season, the failure of the British in Asia has exacerbated the pace of their demise, I eagerly hope that the day when I can meet you again will come as soon as possible!"

Looking at Hitler's call back, Tang Qiuli felt a chill and got goosebumps all over his body. The German head of state replied to the telegram in the same tone as a prostitute, a long-awaited lover?Waiting for it!However, this absurd feeling, he did not mention it to anyone,

Although he had agreed to the British negotiating request, Tang Qiuli was not relentless. The troops should continue to fight. If the negotiation agreement is not signed for a day, the attack cannot be stopped. If the army is pressing the border, it should have such an aura!

At around 25:[-] a.m. on May [-], the Corps directly under the Independent Division and the Sulu Mobile Corps, a total of [-] brigades, marched from Lucknow, Allahabad, Jabulpur, Phamlagar, and Gunpur. On the front line, we continued to launch a full-line offensive. By noon that day, each unit had advanced an average of more than [-] kilometers.

In Aligarh and Agra, the reinforcements from the Ninth Brigade of Xiao Jinshan and the Tenth Brigade of Fang Yuanshan finally arrived at the destination at [-] o'clock in the morning after a night of rapid march. , was more than an hour late, but it had no effect on the overall progress of the battle.

Tang Qiuli can also understand that it is not easy to arrive on the bad roads in India, and it is a long-distance march at night. However, Xiao Jinshan and Fang Yuanshan were strictly ordered by the teacher Tang Qiuli, without his personal order , what kind of actions the troops must not have!

Looking at the timely report of the battle situation from the staff office, Xiao Jinshan's eyes were burning, and he complained loudly with Major General Fang Yuanshan, the commander of the [-]th Brigade in Agra, on the walkie-talkie.

"I said, old man, what's the matter? Commander, what did you sing! Let our two brigades stand still, and the other brigades can fight with all their might. Have you read the battle report? Liu has a loud voice The first and fourth brigades of Er and Big Chu are almost reaching the west coast of India, but we are nesting here, isn’t it New Delhi? Give me eight hours and take it for safekeeping!”

Fang Yuanshan said unhurriedly: "Old Xiao, don't be like a gunpowder keg, screaming at every turn, you are content, what is the target we are going to hit, that is the old nest of the British in India, the teacher can be careless You Shen, wait for the order, don't bother with you, the reinforcements are about to enter the city, I'll go to meet them!" After finishing speaking, he ended the call.

Xiao Jinshan was stunned for a moment, then "Cut" in dissatisfaction, the staff officer came in and reported, "Brigade Commander, reinforcements from our brigade, a mechanized infantry brigade, a tank brigade and an artillery brigade have arrived in the eastern suburbs of Aligarh , a few brigade commanders called to ask, should they go directly to our brigade headquarters, or do you have other arrangements?"

Xiao Jinshan muttered, "Okay, the business grabbers are here! Let's go, I'll meet them in person. By the way, tell the cooking team to prepare a table of good dishes. I want to invite those old guys and let the cooks bring out all the dishes. The ability to hang up, can't lose the name of our Ninth Brigade!"

At noon, Tang Qiuli received a telegram from Han Tie, the commander of the Marine Corps, "The division headquarters, after continuous operations, our department has now compressed and encircled the British and Indian garrison on Sri Lanka in Colombo, and At about [-] o'clock this morning, a full-scale attack was launched on Colombo. By the time of reporting the battle situation, the troops had occupied more than two-thirds of the urban area of ​​Colombo and wiped out most of the British and Indian defenders. It is expected that before the evening, they can End the fighting and take all of Colombo!"

This result, as expected by Tang Qiuli, the Marine Corps has used more than 2 troops to solve the more than [-] British and Indian defenders on the island. It is not a problem. However, judging from the attack speed of the troops, it is obviously The British and Indian garrison on the island of Sri Lanka resisted fiercely in Colombo. Otherwise, with the strength of Hantie, Colombo should have been taken long ago. [

The battle on the island of Sri Lanka had no impact on the overall offensive, and Tang Qiuli did not urge Han Tie to speed up the attack. When victory is in sight, there is no need to increase the casualties of the troops.

He thought for a while, and said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, order Han Tie not to rush to end the Battle of Colombo, and focus on reducing the casualties of the troops. Also, order the Marine Corps to divide the troops into four brigades. Commanded by Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan, they crossed the Gulf of Mannar, landed at Tenushgodi, the southernmost tip of the Indian mainland, attacked from south to north, and added fire to Churchill. Unspeakable!"

After finishing speaking, he burst out laughing, and Zhao Yuhe said humorously, "Teacher, on the one hand, you agreed to negotiate with the British, but on the other hand, you started a big fight. That's not kind enough! Are you not afraid that the British will say that we don't respect credibility?"

Tang Qiuli sighed and said: "Reputation? Under the power, reputation is thinner than paper. If you talk about credibility with the British, you are taking advantage of yourself. The more places we occupy, the greater the bargaining chip we will have in negotiating with the British. Moreover, it seems that we have made concessions, but in fact this attack was originally out of plan, and the British will only be grateful for my mercy when the time comes."

"Yuhe, what's more ruthless, order Xiao Jinshan, Fang Yuanshan, and the reinforcements to go up at two o'clock this afternoon, with a sudden movement, from the north, east, and south directions, encircle New Delhi and form New Delhi. The campaign headquarters appointed Xiao Jinshan as the commander-in-chief and Fang Yuanshan as the deputy commander-in-chief to coordinate and command all the troops.”

"Although Xiao Jinshan is very brave and ruthless, he is a good fighter in battle. He is restrained by the steady Fang Yuanshan, so he can't do anything outrageous! However, order them to encircle them. Without my order, Attacking New Delhi is absolutely not allowed. This is a death order. Yuhe must emphasize this point in the order. If the troops of more than 9 people are handed over to him, they must be put on bridles. Otherwise, he can beat New Delhi to the ground. Wear it right!"

On the afternoon of May 25, the Independent Division, with six infantry brigades, two tank brigades, and two artillery brigades, moved swiftly and suddenly approached the city from the north, east, and south, encircling New Delhi. In the remaining western part, all the participating commanders could not guess the division commander's intentions.

At this time, the British negotiating delegation, which flew away from London in fear, was still floating in the sky!
