Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world located in the southeastern coast of Africa, covering an area of ??10,000 square kilometers. The entire island is composed of volcanic rocks and is famous for its unique geographical environment and biological evolution history.
As an island with poor resources, a backward social environment, and little economic value, Madagascar in this era was just an unobtrusive French colony, and it was only slightly famous because of its relatively important geographical location. The African war between the Allied Powers and the Entente Powers was fought in full swing on the mainland, but it did not affect this large island like a paradise at all.
But now, the war has finally broken out, but this time it is not the arrogant white Europeans who are attacking, but the yellow-skinned Chinese from the distant Asian continent.
In March 1919, a raiding fleet from the Imperial Indian Ocean Theater attacked Madagascar and successfully captured it. Then soon, tens of thousands of engineers, mechanics and logistics personnel from the Indian mainland were stationed here, and then There was also a team of over a thousand pilots who arrived, belonging to the strategic air force in the Indian Ocean Theater - the 19th Imperial Air Division.
With the arrival of such a large wave of aviation personnel and supporting engineering and logistics personnel, the ports on the island of Madagascar quickly began to expand, and more and more large ships entered the port. Madagascar is becoming more and more divorced from its otherworldly qualities, and is quickly changing its role like a giant military base on land, sea and air.
At the same time, reinforcements from the rear of the empire arrived from West Asia and the Caucasus. The military strength of West Asia quickly climbed to a record peak of 800,000, among which the number of armored divisions alone increased from the original four to seven. The air force in the Caucasus has also been strengthened. Thirty-five new strategic bombers, Kunpeng, which are in their infancy, have been reinforced from the rear, further increasing the deterrent effect of the strategic location of the Caucasus on surrounding enemy forces.
April 1919. The Imperial Atlantic Fleet was officially reorganized and began the strategic mission of opening up its Atlantic theater. The first operation struck Great Britain's lifeline in Africa - South Africa.
The newly formed Atlantic Fleet includes five aircraft carrier formations, more than 80 main combat ships, and ten small raiding fleets as its subordinate mobile forces. As the empire's fleet that goes to the heart of the enemy to cause trouble, it can be said to be The scale is unprecedented. Completely armed to the teeth, its movements from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean were also extremely domineering.
Along the way, they plundered the ports of Durban, Port Elizabeth and Cape Town in South Africa, destroyed and seized a large amount of supplies, and also completely annihilated a small fleet of the British Empire stationed in South Africa. All sank in the port, and hundreds of fighter jets from the aircraft carrier formation roared past the Cape Town Port in the sky, blowing this internationally renowned and important port beyond recognition.
For a time, the British army was in a state of panic. They simply thought that the Empire was going to launch a full-scale attack on Africa and land in South Africa. The entire Allied Powers felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. All Allied Powers troops that were confronting the Allied Powers on the northern front were ordered to retreat at full speed. Rescue South Africa, Great Britain¡¯s cornucopia and important military base.
This commotion and the large-scale mobilization of millions of troops were not canceled until the Imperial Atlantic Fleet had moved north along the African coast and entered the depths of the Atlantic Ocean long after. Information obtained from various channels showed that this time it did not contain The landing of the army was only an air attack by a fleet. This is a very large Chinese fleet entering the Atlantic Ocean. This time the Allied Powers, Britain, France, Spain and other countries were completely dumbfounded.
Atlantic route. Now it is the lifeblood of the Allied countries. In the past, the Allied Powers' navies were not as good as the Allied Powers, and they could only use extremely inefficient tactics such as submarines and destroyers to harass them sporadically. However, the Chinese did not show any pretense at all. They just drove over and attacked. A domineering fleet, this is. You clearly want to dominate the mountain and become the king!
A battleship formation consisting of aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers and destroyers, as well as countless small and medium-sized assault ships came to the Atlantic Ocean. It can cut off the Atlantic Ocean casually. Once such a fleet moves there, just the aircraft and the attack fleet dispatched in all directions can monopolize a route, enough to prevent even a single ship from escaping in the surrounding tens of thousands of square kilometers of sea. How can the Europeans do this?
"Moreover, even if they knew that this fleet was there, the Allies could not do anything about it. The Atlantic Fleet achieved countless victories along the way, almost sweeping across the west coast of Africa. All Europeans know the unprecedented size of this fleet, with five aircraft carriers!
This kind of maritime overlord has now become known to the whole world for its power after several decisive naval battles. Even if the current British fleet tries its best to engage in a decisive battle with it, it still lacks confidence, not to mention that the opponent has no decisive battle at all.The situation is just that they are looking for the empire's flaws to attack and break relations.
This is completely based on the fatal weaknesses of the Allied countries, and they come here to slow down the Allied countries.
It can be said that as soon as this Atlantic fleet appeared, it immediately caused the entire Allied Alliance to be in chaos, as if facing a formidable enemy, completely holding back the hands and feet of the Allied Powers, and the follow-up actions agreed with the Allied Powers in advance could no longer be mentioned.
??And the war in West Asia started by the Allies is now in the middle of the war. Even the back-up forces on the Arabian Peninsula have been used. Naturally, they can only go all out.
From the beginning of 1919 to April, the main tasks of the important departments of the entire Allied Powers were to withdraw troops, mobilize troops, and mobilize various supplies that the army urgently needed, all heading towards West Asia.
From Africa and Europe, the armies of various countries are concentrated towards West Asia. The original battle line with the Allied Powers in Southwest Africa was abandoned without exception. Both sides withdrew their troops and tacitly agreed to give up large swaths of territory in the middle, just like the previous countries that had fought bloody battles here for several years. , the land gained inch by inch suddenly seemed like nothing.
By withdrawing their troops from Africa, the Allies withdrew more than two million troops from Africa and deployed them in Egypt and other places in northeastern Africa, while the 800,000 former troops directly crossed the Suez Canal and entered the Arabian Peninsula.
As for Europe, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Bulgaria and other countries followed up the third mobilization of nearly 3 million troops. Some of them began to enter West Asia along Turkey, while the other part went all the way north and entered Romania. , Ukraine, heading towards the Caucasus. (To be continued.
