The people of the Indian region have been oppressed by the Mi Empire for nearly 200 years. It can be said that they do not regard the Indian people as human beings at all, and they squeeze them hard, killing and humiliating them at every turn.
The great uprising that occurred in Blue Star in 1857 in the Indian region could not stand the brutal rule of the Mi State. However, it was eventually ruthlessly suppressed due to backward weapons and equipment.
The people of the Indian region were suddenly liberated and were able to implement regional ethnic autonomy. They no longer needed to be second-class citizens in their own country, no longer needed to be in fear every day, and no longer needed to be forced to do things that violated their religion. Regarding matters of faith, this association simply regards Chinese soldiers as saviors. A large number of people in the Indian region want to become Chinese soldiers, and the recruitment office is surrounded by water.
"Sir, can you let me become a soldier of China!"
An Indian boy in tattered clothes knelt on the ground.
"Sorry, we have never seen this situation before. We need to ask our superiors for instructions to be sure. After all, the military rations we brought this time are insufficient and we still need time to prepare!"
The soldiers at the recruitment office quickly helped the young man up.
After questioning, it turned out that the young man's name was Mihan, a man from the Indian region who had a miserable life experience.
"I don't need a salary, just let me fight Chinese people!"
Mihan refused to get up and begged the Chinese soldiers.
"Let's do this. You go home first and come back in a few days. We have to wait for permission from our superiors before we can recruit so many soldiers."
The soldiers at the recruiting office also felt helpless.
"I have no home. Our village was completely slaughtered by the Mi people, and I am the only one left."
Mihan's eyes were filled with fierceness.
His story is indeed quite tragic. The women in his village usually pretend to be mute, because they are afraid that if they make a sound, the people of Mizi country will know that they are women, and they will be endlessly humiliated.
One day, a Mihan military officer came to Mihan's village and wanted to find someone to sing and dance. The villagers found a little girl. Due to nervousness and fear, the little girl sang the wrong lyrics. The Mihan officer became angry and said Then the village was massacred, and no one in Mihan's family was spared.
"Let's do this. We'll keep you in our military camp first, and then you can enlist in the army after your superiors give orders."
The person in charge of the recruitment office came out and helped Mihan up.
When the people around him saw this, they also knelt on the ground. Suddenly, there were several streets of people kneeling in front of the recruitment office.
Zuo Zongtang also quickly reported the situation to the Chinese General Staff and requested three months of training in the Indian region to form an Indian army, which would be useful in the future Western Expedition.
In the Chinese General Staff, everyone looked at the military report sent by Zuo Zongtang and discussed the recruitment plan for the Indian region.
"There is good news from Ji Gao (Zuo Zongtang). A large number of people in the Indian area want to join the army. There is a population of 200 million here. If the army here is organized, it will be really amazing!"
Shi Dakai took the military report sent by Zuo Zongtang via the radio with a relaxed look on his face.
"We can learn from our experience in the Sahara and let the troops stationed in the Indian region be responsible for decentralized training and quickly form a new army. This way, when we have a decisive battle in the future, our chances of winning will be much greater!"
Zeng Guofan spoke immediately.
"The industrial revolution cannot stop. I think we can lead the people of India to engage in industry. Comprehensive national strength is the key to winning the war!"
Zhu Yidian added.
"Indeed, implementing the industrial revolution in the Indian region will not only improve the living standards of the Indian region, but also provide supplies for the new army formed here. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!"
"Railways and pipelines must also be connected to the western part of Central Continent and the eastern part of Central Continent, so that the transportation speed of troops and supplies can keep up!"
Shi Dakai finalized the resolution of the meeting and asked the Communications Corps to convey it to Zuo Zongtang. At the same time, he allowed large enterprises such as China Railway Group, China Energy Group, and China Electric Power Group to enter the Indian region.
A great change is slowly unfolding in India.
From north to south, a huge railway network is laid out criss-crossing the land of India. Hundreds of workers in India shuttle through the railway construction sites. They fertilize the soil with sweat, build dreams with labor, and wield hammers. With shovels and shovels, they worked tirelessly to dig the earth, fill the roadbed, and lay the track.
The heavy machines began to play rhythm, and the sound waves shuttled through their ears. The huge cranes loaded and unloaded the huge stones and adjusted their positions, making the railway construction progress faster. The roar of the locomotives echoed over the construction site, creating a new atmosphere for this area. Brought new vitality and vitality.
With the construction of the railway, factories sprung up like mushrooms after rain. Thick smoke from their black chimneys filled the sky, symbolizing the rise of industrial power in the region.
From cotton mills to steel mills, from coal mines to shipyards, factories have become the new economic centers of India.
The workers in the Indian area left the fields and entered the factory workshops in pursuit of a better life.
The introduction of new technologies and mechanized production have greatly improved the quality of life of the people in the Indian region.
When night falls, the lights of the Indian cities are bright and gorgeous, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians on the streets. It is not only the electric lights that illuminate the entire city, but also the light of the industrial revolution.
200 years ago, the arrival of the American army transformed the Indian region from an industrial society to an agricultural society.
200 years later, the arrival of the Chinese army transformed the Indian region from an agricultural society to an industrial society.
Since then, China's GDP has accounted for more than 80% of Blue Star's total GDP, becoming the only superpower on Blue Star.
During the period of industrialization construction, Zuo Zongtang dispersed the soldiers of the five legions to various parts of the Indian region to train new soldiers and form the Indian Expeditionary Force. They would take revenge on the Mi-zi country that had enslaved them for 200 years.
In the recruit training base in the Indian region, new soldiers came from all over, some from cities and some from villages. In order to protect their homeland and no longer be invaded by Western powers, they entered the arduous recruit training camp together.
They undergo various arduous training every day, such as running, weightlifting, shooting, tactical drills, etc.
"One two one, one two one, left, right, left..."
"Turn left, turn right, take a break..."
"Unity is strength, unity is strength..."
"Load, aim, shoot..."
The sound of military training floated in every corner of the Indian area.
The entire Indian area has been given a new look.
After three months of training, the recruits gradually adapted to this hard life, their physiques strengthened, and their willpower became stronger. They were no longer ordinary people wandering around the streets, but a well-trained and disciplined force. army soldier.
Blue Star In May 1870, the training of the 3 million Indian Expeditionary Force was completed and will be led by Zuo Zongtang to the western part of Central Continent to prepare for the invasion of Xizhou.
