West Africa?
Louis XIV suddenly felt that his fleet and expeditionary force did not need to go to that place because something had happened in French India...
A guy named Jamil Singh had already assembled a team in a short period of time and captured the largest city in French India, Bombay, within a week!
Today, the most common sacred object seen at the intersections in Mumbai is the "Arjun" MK2 main battle tank, as well as heavily armed soldiers.
Singh announced to everyone in French India and Dutch India through television, radio, and newspapers that a new era had arrived and he would rebuild the glorious Mauryan Empire!
Of course, neither Louis XIV nor William III agreed with this decision, but the garrisons in central French India had been defeated by Singh's army.
Neither Guissan, the governor-general of French India, nor Ducet, the commander-in-chief of the French Indian garrison, expected that the other side's offensive would be so fierce and that their own side would be defeated so quickly.
Under the cover of LCA "Tejas" fighter jets, LCH armed helicopters, and ALH "Polaris" light utility helicopters, Singh's ground forces stormed from Bhopal to Mumbai in the southwest.
After seeing the miracle of Singh being able to summon an army out of thin air, the nobles of the feudal states along the way knelt down and worshiped him, recognizing Singh as the only Holy Lord of the South Asian subcontinent!
France controls various places through its nobles. Once these people defect, the local French army will have no good life.
When Surat, a coastal city north of Mumbai, was captured by the other side, both Geisan and Dusai realized that the situation was not good, but they did not expect that what happened next was far beyond their expectations.
Mumbai is one of the main bases of the French Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet. It usually hosts a battleship, two cruisers and several destroyers.
Ducey believed that with the fleet's firepower and the air force's fighter jets, it should be possible to repel the invading enemy and inflict heavy damage.
However, what came to attack was a battle group with the "Vikrant" aircraft carrier as the core!
Including the "Vikrant" aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of more than 40,000 tons, two P15B "Vishakapatnam" class destroyers, two P15A "Kolkata" class destroyers, and four "Shreevak" -class frigates, four "Camorta"-class frigates, four "Scorpene"-class conventionally powered submarines, four "Shadur"-class tank landing ships, and two "Aditya"-class supply ships.
If the "Vikrant" aircraft carrier is equipped with a light "Tejas" carrier-based aircraft, it may not pose much of a threat to the Mumbai defenders and fleet.
However, the aircraft carrier is equipped with twelve "Rafale" fighter jets that can perform air control, anti-ship, and strike.
Not only that, Singh's ground forces alone have three hundred triple-mounted "BrahMos" supersonic anti-ship missile launch vehicles!
This supersonic anti-ship missile caused a devastating blow to the French warship docked in Mumbai Port in just ten minutes.
Although the large French warships have been modernized and upgraded and equipped with air defense systems, they are still vulnerable to incoming supersonic missiles.
Singh had asked the Mumbai garrison to surrender unconditionally within twenty-four hours through radio, otherwise the city would be completely destroyed with three hundred "Pinaka" 214mm rocket launchers and the same number of "Dhanush" 155mm howitzers.
Of course, Singh is still willing to take over the big city of Mumbai in its entirety, otherwise he would not have issued an ultimatum.
The ground forces of the Mauryan Empire are very strong. They not only have the "Arjun" MK2 main battle tank, but also the T-90S main battle tank, the K-9 155mm howitzer, and the six-unit "Namika" tracked missile launcher. vehicles, "Garuda" 105mm truck-mounted self-propelled howitzer, "Sarat" BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle, "Kestrel" 8*8 wheeled armored vehicle, and "Predator" M4 armored vehicle.
The Air Force is not weak either, with Su-30MKI heavy fighter jets, Tejas light fighter jets, Jaguar attack aircraft, and MiG-27 attack aircraft.
Singer can obtain weapons and equipment for three heavy armored brigades, 10,000 infantrymen, an aircraft carrier battle group, and combat aircraft organized by an air force every month.
Such a luxurious lineup can crush the local French and Dutch troops in South Asia. It is also Singh's biggest capital for daring to claim the throne.
Even if Marshal Dussel, the commander-in-chief of the garrison, ordered garrisons from all over French India to encircle and suppress the rebels, it would be too late in time.
After discussing with Governor Gaisang, he did not dare to surrender to the other party for fear of being punished by His Majesty the Emperor when he returned, so he had no choice but to escape by plane.
Then it was discovered by a Su-30MKI patrolling nearby and shot down with an R-77 air-to-air missile. No one on board survived...
After learning the news that the two officers had fled, the defenders immediately raised their flags and surrendered unconditionally to the enemies outside.
In less than three days, Bombay was captured, which greatly stimulated Louis XIV's nerves.
His Majesty the Emperor demanded that French India should be defended at all costs, and that the navy, army and air force should make every effort to regain the lost territory, especially the tax-rich city of Bombay!
In this regard, Zhu Cixi could only say that times have changed, and so have the world. Now is not the time for us to do whatever we want, and we must deal with everything with caution.
Changes have also taken place in Persia next door...
Judging from the photos taken by satellites, Zhu Cixiang believes that the Persian Army has begun to equip a large number of "Karar" main battle tanks.
This type of tank is equipped with a 125 mm smoothbore gun, coupled with an automatic loader, a fire control system, and good mobility. Its combat effectiveness is almost the same as that of the main battle tanks equipped by the Ming Dynasty Army.
The Air Force has installed a twin-engine light fighter. Whether it is a "Lightning", "Thunder" or "Kosar", a certain emperor cannot tell the difference based only on photos taken at high altitude.
Because these three fighters are all improved versions of the F-5, the "Kosar" is the one with the greatest improvement, and theoretically it should be it.
It is not as good as the twin-engine heavy fighter "Wang Jiu" (prototype F-4 Phantom II) of the Ming Dynasty Air Force, and its combat effectiveness is worse than the "Scissor Kite" attack aircraft (prototype Alpha Jet).
The Navy seems to have added twelve new "Jamalan" class destroyers. Due to its displacement of 1,400 tons, its tonnage is actually equivalent to that of a light frigate.
The ship-borne weapons are still remarkable. It has a 76mm main gun, a 40mm anti-aircraft gun, two twin anti-ship missiles, two medium-range anti-aircraft missile launchers, and two triple 324mm torpedo launchers. weapon, a Bell anti-submarine helicopter.
There are also twelve multi-purpose ships with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, which can carry a helicopter, a speedboat, an anti-aircraft vehicle, and are equipped with two quadruple anti-ship missile launchers.
As for the numerous small speedboats and small submarines, Zhu Cixiang didn't even bother to look at them. If the Persians dared to attack the Ming Dynasty's ships, they would have to communicate with them...
The most terrifying weapon in the hands of the Persians is the "Bavar"-373 air defense system. It is said that the missile range exceeds 200 kilometers and may reach 400 kilometers.
The missile range of the "Holdad"-15 air defense system, which is inferior in combat effectiveness, is also more than 100 kilometers. If deployed in the border area, it will make the Ottoman side very uncomfortable.
Since both Persia and Ottoman were friends of the Ming Empire, Emperor Hao Jing had no way to mediate. Anyway, the two countries disliked each other and accused each other of being traitors in their own camps...
Of course, it was not just Russia and Persia that gave Ibrahim a headache, there were even big problems within the Ottoman Empire!
Now the Ottoman army has lost even the "Holy City" Jerusalem, and has been defeated by the new Israeli army.
Under the leadership of Dean David, also known as "King David", the Israeli army attacked in waves.
It took less than three days to wipe out the Ottoman army in Jerusalem and surrounding areas.
There are densely packed "Merkava"-4 main battle tanks, "Lynx" rocket launchers that can fire 122-300 mm rockets or Delilah cruise missiles with a range of 250 kilometers, and ATMOS2000 155 mm truck guns around the holy city. , "Lance" 120mm self-propelled mortar, "Tiger" infantry fighting vehicle, "Etan" wheeled armored transport vehicle, "Wolf" armored vehicle (6-wheeled Jeep), "Sandcat" armored vehicle (4-wheeled Jeep) .
There are a large number of "Lion" and "Lion" fighter jets patrolling in the sky. In addition to the brown-yellow camouflage paint of the fighter jets, which is close to the color of the ground, the most obvious identification mark is the blue six-pointed star set against a round white background. .
These two fighter jets, which are superior to the "Scissor Kite" attack aircraft in terms of combat performance, shot down more than a dozen "Scissor Tail Kite" of the Ottoman Air Force after their introduction.
For fear of being intercepted by the opponent, Ibrahim did not let the expensive "Wang Jiu" heavy fighter aircraft go to support. In fact, this cowardly behavior actually avoided greater losses.
The most powerful force in the Israeli army is not the armored force or the fighter force, but the anti-aircraft missile force!
The "David's Trebuchet" with a range of 25 kilometers and the Iron Dome with a range of 40 kilometers are responsible for intercepting rockets launched by the enemy.
The "Spider" air defense system with a range of 30-60 kilometers can intercept low-speed reconnaissance aircraft, attack aircraft and helicopters.
The "Barak"-8 air defense system with a range of 37-150 kilometers can intercept high-speed fighter jets and anti-ship missiles.
The "Barak" MX air defense system with a range of 35-150 kilometers is an upgraded version of the former and has the ability to intercept short-range ballistic missiles.
The Arrow-2 with a range of 90 kilometers and the Arrow-3 with a range of 250 kilometers can intercept enemy short-range and medium-range ballistic missiles.
It can be said that even if the Ottoman Air Force sends the best fighter planes, even if there are as many as a thousand planes, only a few of them can escape unscathed!
However, the Ottoman army can still launch attacks from the sea, and the strength of the Israeli navy can be described as weak.
There are only three types of missile boats, Saar-4, Saar-4.5A, and Saar-4.5B, with a displacement of only four to five hundred tons.
The Saar-4 type has two triple-mounted "Gabriel"-II anti-ship missiles with a range of 35 kilometers, two 76mm "Otto Melara" rapid-fire cannons and two 20mm machine guns.
The Saar-4.5A type ship is equipped with a "Phalanx" anti-aircraft gun on the bow, and a "Dolphin" helicopter can be carried on the stern. The anti-ship weapons are two twin-mounted "Harpoons" and four "Gabriels" "-II anti-ship missile launcher.
The anti-ship weapons installed on the Saar-4.5B type are the same as those of the A type, except that the bow is changed to a 76mm "Otto Melara" rapid-fire gun, and the stern uses four groups of eight-mounted "Barak"-1 Type anti-aircraft missile launchers replaced the helicopter hangar.
These missile boats are in a small area of water west of the land occupied by the Israeli army. They are okay for bullying pirates, but they are not good for dealing with the large and powerful Ottoman Navy.
But fortunately, Dean David has not been counterattacked by Ibrahim, because the Sultan is still busy dealing with the Serbian resistance...
A Serbian named Dusan Tadic has led tens of thousands of people in Serbia to begin a large-scale resistance to Ottoman management.
M-84 main battle tanks, M-80 infantry fighting vehicles, "Strela"-10 tracked anti-aircraft vehicles, "Lazar"-3 wheeled armored transport vehicles, and "Ogan" appeared on the ground. Rocket launchers, "Nora" B-52 truck guns, and "Milosh" armored off-road vehicles.
There are "Falcon" J-22 fighter attack aircraft, SA-341H light reconnaissance and attack helicopters, and SA-342L light reconnaissance and attack helicopters in the sky.
The combat performance of the J-22 fighter attack aircraft is almost the same as that of the Scissor Kite attack aircraft. The two fighters are almost of the same grade.
A bunch of small ships released by Tadic on the east coast of the Adriatic Sea did not last for three days before they were jointly strangled by the Ottoman Navy and Air Force.
Of course there was help from a certain emperor, because the chaos in the Ottoman Empire would not do the Ming Dynasty any good. Zhu Cixi still expected Ibrahim to send the Austrian army to fight against the Russian army that occupied most of Sudan!
This is no longer possible. Not only is the Yugoslav Empire holding back, but the Kingdom of Israel entrenched in Jerusalem is also blocking the way.
The Ottoman army temporarily stopped attacking the Russian army in the south. The main force was contained in Serbia and Jerusalem. At the same time, it had to guard against the Persians who were ready to move.
Louis XIV's West Africa was taken away by the British army, and half of French India was occupied by the Mauryan Empire. While they were devastated, they also had to guard against the newly rising Japanese country.
Zhu Cixiang felt that this was just right, and his life was so fulfilling. His old friends in the province were always thinking about this benefit of the Ming Empire!
Zhu Cixiang had no time to pay attention to these two old friends now, because Tengda City in the North was attacked by armed gangs.
The ones who attacked were not the Kimchi people, not the Swiss, not the Japanese, but the Poles!
These bastards went from "European footbindings" to "Far Eastern footbindings" with peace of mind!
According to the garrison report, the other side invested a large number of main battle tanks to participate in the siege operations.
From the analysis of images transmitted by satellite, this group of Polish garbage actually owns a PT-91 main battle tank...
Although the defenders destroyed nearly a hundred PT-91s, they were still defeated by the charge of Polish infantry, which was as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river.
At the same time, a large number of Ming army fighter planes were shot down in the process of suppressing the rebellion.
A total of hundreds of fighter jets, attack aircraft, and helicopters were lost, almost all of which were shot down by the rebels' anti-aircraft missiles and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns.
Judging from the captured trophies, the rebels currently only use three types of anti-aircraft weapons.
One is the medium-range "Neva"-SC air defense system, with a missile range of less than thirty kilometers.
The other is the "Lightning" anti-aircraft vehicle, equipped with four launchers and a missile range of less than eight kilometers.
Then there are the "Laura" dual 35mm self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, which use the PT-91 chassis and have a range of about five kilometers.
Many helicopters of the Ming Army Aviation Force were shot down by this self-propelled anti-aircraft gun...
