Age of Rebirth

Tang Qiuli left very slowly, deliberately giving the British time to react. He knew that his few words were very lethal, and the capture of New Delhi was just a matter of his own order.

In a few hours, New Delhi, which is equal to being undefended, will fall into the hands of the independent division. The sky of India has been controlled by Le Yiqin's air force. Isn't it the result of being imprisoned!

Sure enough, before Tang Qiuli could walk out of the negotiating room, the representative of the British side, Foreign Secretary Charlie Brown, shouted anxiously: "General Tang, please stay!"

Tang Qiuli was overjoyed, but turned around slowly, looked at Charlie Brown coldly, and asked, "Mr. Charlie Brown, do you want anything else? As I said just now, the negotiation has broken down. , the only way left is war!"

In just one minute after Tang Qiuli finished speaking and walked to the door, Charlie Brown’s brain was thinking sharply. Accepted by the imperial law, Tang Qiuli's troops, Chen Bing hundreds of thousands in India, occupied the entire India, but a matter of a few days. [

Although the line drawn by this arrogant and domineering Chinese forcibly dismembered the largest overseas colony of the British Empire, leaving only half of the British Empire, but it is better than losing everything. If Tang Qiuli walks out of this One room means that there is no room for maneuver. In the war, does the British Empire still have the strength to fight a war in the Indian mainland?

Charlie Brown's heart was bleeding, but with a forced smile on his face, he said as calmly as possible: "General Tang, please stay. Although the clause you proposed is difficult for our British Empire to accept, it still needs to be accepted. There is room for negotiation. Moreover, the matter is of great importance, we cannot make a decision, and we need to report it to our government. Make the final decision.”

There was no smile on Tang Qiuli's face, and he said succinctly: "Yes, my terms cannot be changed, I will give you time, but my time is very tight. Just eight hours, I still have some patience , I am waiting for your reply!"

Then, Tang Qiuli turned his attention to General Brantes, the chief of staff of the British army, with a trace of disdain on his lips, and said, "Chief of the general staff of the British armed forces, Brandes should be you, right?"

Admiral Brandes was stunned, he didn't understand.Why did Tang Qiuli ask such a question, and he didn't know how to answer, so he glared at Tang Qiuli angrily.

Tang Qiuli suddenly smiled.The murderous look on his face turned into a caressing spring breeze, but the words he said were so sharp that he could shame people to death.

"You and I are both soldiers. You should know that war requires strength, not impulsive rhetoric. The British Empire will not hesitate to fight? It's easy to say, so let me ask you, your British Empire is in India. What can you do with me? Hundreds of thousands of troops to fight? Do you still have the capital and ability to fight?"

"As the chief of staff of the British army, it's ridiculous to say such thoughtless and thoughtless words. The rank of general, I don't know how you climbed to this high position and got the rank of general? In my opinion Even an ordinary private knows this simple truth, don’t you? Generals of the British Empire, I’m so disappointed!”

Admiral Brandes was so angry that his eyes turned black and his blood pressure rose. Tang Qiuli's words made him feel right. He had never been humiliated like this since he entered the Royal Army of the British Empire. , This humiliation was given by the Chinese. Brandes was so angry that he could not speak. He pointed at Tang Qiuli with trembling hands, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Tang Qiuli put aside the half-dead Admiral Brandes, cast a contemptuous glance at George Fernance, secretary-general of the British Prime Minister's Office, and continued: "As for you, you are nothing more than a megaphone and a clown. I can't represent Churchill, it's not that I'm dead, but you should see the situation clearly. Since Churchill sent you, it is to keep abreast of the results of the negotiations. Please, report my terms to your master as soon as possible, so as not to save me Wait!"

Looking past George Fernans, he looked at Pajvasali, the British governor-general in India. Pajvasali's heart beat so fast that he was a little out of breath. Brandes and George in front Fernance, let this Chinese person humiliate him completely, it's his turn, what more harsh and unbearable words are there for Tang Qiuli, waiting for him?

Fortunately, this Chinese man, Tang Qiuli, just gave him a cold look, then sat back on the chair Shi Shiran, seeing what that meant, he let himself go for no reason, Governor Pajvasali secretly let go He took a deep breath, as if picking up a big deal.

Tang Qiuli went on to say: "Okay, that's the end of the conversation, it's good to say more, you go back quickly and come up with the final answer!"

The British man walked away with a pale face and staggering steps. Tang Qiuli looked at Zhao Yuhe and said, "Yuhe, how do you feel about this play?"

Zhao Yuhe held back for a long time before saying a word, "Master, shocking, brilliant, unexpected, unbelievable!"

Then, he walked to the map of the South Asian subcontinent, pointed to the 83rd east longitude line drawn by Tang Qiuli, and said, "Master, I have already considered that you will never let the British take advantage of it, but I didn't expect that, As soon as you make a move, you dismember the Indian continent. From this point of view, my strategic vision is still insufficient, and I am not as strong as you."

"Look, on this line, the east Indian Ocean, the Bay of Bengal, eastwards, the Gulf of Thailand, the South China Sea, and even the South Pacific are all areas where our independent divisions can freely enter and exit. Countless natural resources and mineral deposits are scattered all over the place. Islands, a large piece of land, a population of tens of millions, relying on the Indochina Peninsula, with these conditions, sir, our future strategic space will be limited, sir, you are really generous! However, I am afraid that the British will not agree !"

Tang Qiuli asked back with a smile: "Yuhe, do you think the British will reluctantly admit this fact?"

Zhao Yuhe replied without hesitation: "Yes, they have no room for bargaining. The simplest reason is that if you don't agree, the negotiation will break down. Next, you will lose the entire Indian continent. It is better to keep half of it than to lose all of it." , the British are not stupid!" [

Tang Qiuli smiled slightly, acquiescing to Zhao Yuhe's words, and continued: "Yuhe, order Le Yiqin's air force to strictly seal off the airspace and sea on the west coast of the Indian mainland, and not allow a single plane or ship to leave. , Shoot it down or sink it immediately! I want these British government officials to have no chance to escape!"

The two were discussing when Chen Feng, the director of communications, came in. Looking at the relaxed and happy two people, he knew that the result of the negotiation must have achieved the expected goal, and he was happy in his eyes. According to the telegram, yesterday and today, a brigade of marines attached to the fleet successively occupied the Andaman Islands and the Nicobar Islands."

This is expected. The sudden attack on the island of Sri Lanka with the "leapfrog" tactic has cut off the connection between the two archipelagos and the Indian mainland. It is very rare for the British and Indian soldiers guarding the island to escape by jumping into the sea .

Tang Qiuli suddenly remembered that Han Tie's Marine Corps had a total of seven brigades. Three brigades besieged Colombo, and four brigades went north to cross the sea to attack the southern part of the Indian mainland. Brother Qiuquan, where is the strength of one brigade?

Seemingly seeing the division commander's question, Chen Feng went on to say: "Commander Tang also reported the battle situation in Colombo in the telegram. The battle ended at 1:[-] p.m. yesterday. There were more than [-] British and Indian garrison troops, their supreme commander was killed, about [-] were captured, and our troops suffered more than [-] casualties."

Tang Qiuli understood that Brother Qiuquan had mobilized a brigade of troops from Han Tie's troops besieging Colombo to complete the combat mission of capturing the two islands. Too few, and immediately dispelled these little uneases, the independent division troops are like breaking through, like entering the territory of the people, and the British and Indian troops have almost no formed troops, so what are you afraid of?

Why not hit the iron while the iron is hot and take down all the islands around the Indian mainland. Thinking of this, Tang Qiuli said to Chen Feng: "Director Chen, order the fleet to draw a brigade of troops from Sri Lanka to capture eight The Maldives Islands, Lakshad Islands, Amin Divi Islands and other places within the scope of the Nine Degrees Strait and the Nine Degrees Strait, the specific combat plan will be determined by the fleet itself!"

Zhao Yuhe was shocked once again when he heard Tang Qiuli's words, "Master cut off half of the Indian continent with a single knife, and even stretched out his hand to the western Indian Ocean. The location of these islands is clearly shown on the map. They are connected together like An arc-shaped chain firmly blocked the southernmost sea exit on the west coast of India, and it was a ruthless move, Master, this is not letting the British live!" Zhao Yuhe sighed in his heart.

The British negotiating delegation returned to New Delhi in dismay. Several high-ranking officials sat in the luxurious living room of the Governor's Mansion, looking at each other, tearful to teary, sad to sad, Tang Qiuli proposed this terrible clause, with that The tough attitude of the Chinese cannot be changed.

However, such a result is far from the bottom line of Prime Minister Churchill's heart. How can he inform the country of this unfortunate news?Everyone knows the temper of His Excellency the Prime Minister. If a few people are in front of him, they can strangle the brothers to death!

After being silent for a long time, no one said a word, but it's not a big deal to waste time like this. The time limit given by Tang Qiuli is only eight hours, and his meaning is strong and clear, and he will not wait for the time limit!Can't delay, can't hide!
