Rebirth of the Qing Empire

Kang Fan is not worried about the security of China's land borders. The Defense Army is the trump card that Kang Fan relied on to start his career. His combat strength is well known to everyone. If the British troops stationed in Asian colonies dare to challenge on land, the Defense Army will definitely give them an irreparable lesson!

Kang Fan has no intention of conquering British and French colonies in British India or West Asia. There are too few connections with China and there are no permanent Chinese people. Just like Japan, there is no practical significance for both the Chinese government and the Chinese people to pay for it. Moreover, the navy of the coalition forces in the above-mentioned areas has been basically eliminated by the National Defense Forces, and the sea control power of the northern Indian Ocean is firmly controlled by the National Defense Forces, and the above-mentioned areas have actually been blocked. Therefore, the National Defense Forces Navy only needs to make a good job of blocking the maritime connection between the above-mentioned areas and the European mainland.

Judging from various manifestations, the coalition forces really just wanted to control the scope of the war in North Africa. At present, there was no substantial active military operation in Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and the Dutch East Indies in Asia. It can be seen that the coalition forces lack confidence in winning and have a weak fighting will. They want to test China's military strength through a local war of small scale and investment, and then decide whether to launch a full-scale war or stop there.

But Kang Fan doesn't think so. As long as the battle starts, both local wars and comprehensive wars are life-and-death wars. You must do your best! Even if the enemy is stronger than you, you cannot be afraid at all. The balance of victory will always be tilted towards the side that has a firm fighting will from beginning to end, forever!

Although the current National Defense Force has temporarily obtained the sea control power in most of the Central and Northern Indian Oceans, its troops have been exhausted and there is no ability to effectively control the vast Western and Southern Indian Oceans. The Western and Southern Indian Oceans are still a coalition force, and the National Defense Forces still cannot prevent the coalition navy from entering the Indian Ocean.

Although the coalition navy has lost some of its troops, its main navy is still there. If multiple fleets divide their troops to attack, the National Defense Forces will never have the possibility of blocking the coalition naval fleet. As long as a coalition fleet completes a breakthrough, its amazingly powerful large-caliber naval guns can knock everything away!

By then, the entire Indian Ocean will become a chaotic battlefield, with the coalition forces interspersed, fought and consumed cruelly. The multinational alliance has the largest shipbuilding industry in the world, which can continuously build new warships for the coalition forces or unseal those sealed old warships, which will make the coalition navy, which already has a huge number of advantages, and eventually defeat the national defense force and gain the control of the Indian Ocean!

Therefore, to avoid this situation, the National Defense Force must continue to advance southward, capture the islands near the African continent in the southwest Indian Ocean, and push forward the front coastal defense line to Madagascar, and even the southernmost tip of the African continent. The ideal situation is to capture the British Federation of South Africa, control the Atlantic-Indian Ocean southern route, and to control the Massawa base that controls the Atlantic-Indian Ocean northern route, the National Defense Force can completely block the access of the coalition forces into the Indian Ocean.

The British South African Federation has extremely rich mineral resources, with reserves of gold, platinum group metals, manganese, vanadium, chromium, aluminosilicates, etc. ranked first in the world. This is another superior geographical condition that is jealous of in addition to its superior geographical location with important strategic significance. Therefore, it is very necessary to seize the British South African Federation, whether from the current situation of the National Defense Forces or China's future sustainable development strategy.

The coalition navy gathered in Simmonstown was almost wiped out in the "Dragon Strike" operation, and it took time to re-convene troops from Europe. Therefore, taking this opportunity, the Special Mixed Fleet of the "Shanxi" aircraft carrier battle group of the Defense Forces Navy, which successfully implemented the amphibious landing war in the Chagos Islands, and the special mixed fleet consisting of the "Shanxi" aircraft carrier battle group and the six "Shan"-class dock landing ships, re-anchored from the Xindi Island base and quickly advanced westward to the South Indian Ocean.

Since there are few coalition troops garrisons on islands such as Seychelles, Mauritius and Reunion, the army commandos of the two strengthened companies of the National Defense Forces boarded the "Flying Wolf-Armor" helicopters and implemented vertical landing tactics again, rising and falling like "frogs are jumping", and quickly disarming the coalition defenders who had already been stunned on various positions, almost without any bloodshed!

Subsequently, the "Shanxi" special mixed fleet readjusted its troops and prepared to attack Madagascar, the largest island in Africa.

Madagascar is located in the southeast of the African continent, with a total land area of ​​nearly 600,000 square kilometers. It is second only to China's Nanhua Island and is the fourth largest island in the world. It is larger than most European countries and can almost be called a continent.

The island is across the Mozambique Strait and the closest distance to the African continent is more than 380 kilometers. It has a narrow shape, narrow north and south, wide in the middle, and nearly 600 kilometers in the widest place. The coastline is about 4,000 kilometers long. Since becoming a French colony in 1896, the residents on the island have been engaged in unremitting struggles for national liberation, sovereignty and independence.

After entering the 20th century, as China's influence on the eastern African region gradually increased, the people of this primitive, backward and poor island country also received friendly help from China and formed deep friendship with the Chinese people. Therefore, the arrival of the Chinese National Defense Force was warmly welcomed by the residents of the island.

The French garrison on the island did not meet the National Defense Forces landed in northern Madagascar at all, so they retreated from the southern part of the island to the British South African Federation. The National Defense Forces did not pursue them, and the special mixed fleet entered Tuliala, the largest coastal port on the southwestern coast of the island. The landing army attack troops sent some troops to take "Flying Wolf-Armor" helicopters to carry out the mission of clearing out the remaining coalition forces throughout Madagascar.

Madagascar is located in the southern hemisphere, hanging alone in the waves of the Western Indian Ocean, so there is no threat from land. It is only separated from the southeastern continent of Africa by the Mozambique Strait. Moreover, because the island's citizens do not have irreconcilable ethnic conflicts and the island's social stability, this saves a lot of unnecessary trouble for the entry of the National Defense Forces. Therefore, choosing this island as a base for the National Defense Forces to attack the British South African Federation is much more suitable than a coastal country on the East African continent.

If large long-range combat aircraft such as the "flying fortress" and "sentinel" of the National Defense Forces take off from the southwest of the island, the southeastern Africa facing the Indian Ocean will be within its surveillance and strike range, and even reach some of the South Atlantic waters! If the submarine troops arrive again, the National Defense Forces can enter the South Atlantic to fight and better defend the Indian Ocean. Of course, the National Defense Forces can also set out from here to expedition to Europe, but Kang Fan does not have this plan yet.

Therefore, the National Defense Forces began to build a large comprehensive military base with the ready-made port of Tuliala as the center, stationed in the navy and army units as a rear base for attacking the British South African Federation and a frontier base for defending the Indian Ocean in the future.

At this point, the National Defense Force drove all European colonists out of the southwestern Indian Ocean, prompting the island countries in this region to usher in a new era of national liberation and sovereignty and independence. Therefore, the above-mentioned countries have established good bilateral relations with China. As the new protector of these countries, China naturally has the qualification to station troops in the above-mentioned countries, and established the National Defense Force's strategic advantages in the Indian Ocean.

In early February, the National Defense Army and Navy units began to assemble on a large scale at the Tuliala base, which is still under emergency construction.

In late February, 60 "Flying Fortress" bombers entered the Tuliala base. In this way, the British South African Federation was within the air strike range of the National Defense Forces.

In early March, all 24 "Jiaolong-Ding"-class submarines in the North Indian Ocean that had lost their targets in the Central Indian Ocean went south, and based on the Tuliala base, a cordon was established in the waters south of Madagascar.

Apart from the coast, the area around the Tuliala base is surrounded by endless tropical savanna. The grassland is scattered with bushes, huge cactus and tall "big belly" baobabs, and the scenery is unique and charming. The local residents have been fishing for generations and their lives are simple and primitive. The National Wehrmacht who entered here has brought them modern civilization and also provided them with selfless assistance, which has improved their living conditions. Therefore, the two sides get along well.

When Kang Fan came here with Judy in a "Flying Fortress" bomber of the mainland aviation company, he was about to catch up with the National Defense Forces garrison hospital providing free medical services to local residents. There were long abortions at the entrance of the hospital, dark skin, curly hair, and most of them were half-naked. The local residents who did not wear shoes and socks all had happy smiles on their faces.

"Wouldn't it be better to send everyone some clothes and shoes and socks?" Judy said.

Kang Fan shook his head and said, "We will support the economic development here and lead the residents here to the road to wealth. Although alms are necessary, they are a short-term behavior and cannot be covered in everything. In the long run, to improve the living standards of local residents, they have to rely on themselves to support themselves."

Judy laughed at herself, "I am 'woman'."

Kang Fan smiled considerately and said, "It is not the 'woman's kindness', but the 'wife'. Since the wife gave this order in person, I must do it." After that, he asked the hospital director to order, "Go to the military office to get some food, clothes, shoes, socks, etc. to these residents, which is said to be the wife's oral order."

The dean is a middle-aged man who is about 40 years old, wearing a pair of myopia glasses, and is gentle and gentle. After following Kang Fan's instructions, he looked at Judy and nodded with a smile, "Mrs. You should follow his maternal principles! I'll do it now."

Judy was very moved, "Kang Fan, do you also call me 'Madam'?"

"What?" Kang Fan smiled, "Isn't it used to it?"

Judy nodded with a mist in her eyes, "Yeah..."

Kang Fan felt soft and held Judy's hand. Judy was like a shy little girl, allowing Kang Fan to lead him away.
