The sun never sets.

Compared to the scenes of thousands of cannons roaring during the world wars, the bombardment in Bhopal can only be regarded as a small scene. However, for the bombarded party, the Indian People's Army was still dizzy and the troops on the front line suffered heavy losses.

The officers of the alliance had trained the Indian People's Army and repeatedly mentioned that they should be prepared for shelling and that troops should not be placed on the first line of defense. The Indian People's Army probably did not listen and had to exchange blood for combat experience. Judging from the situation outside Bhopal, the technical and tactical level of the Indian People's Army has not improved much.

After occupying the eastern region of India, the People's Republic of India chose to move closer to the Anglo-French alliance for various reasons. As a result, the alliance's military advisers left Kolkata, which affected the process of the Indian People's Army's nationalization.

After the battles at the front were fierce, Chandra Bose and others lost their patience to train the army, so they sent as many troops as they could to the front. After a few battles and some combat experience, the new recruits would become veterans.

Survive the war.

In order to attack Bhopal, the German army carried out a four-hour artillery preparation, and the heavy artillery fire blew one gap after another in the positions outside the city.

While the artillery continued to fire shells, dozens of biplanes took to the sky, providing some air cover for the German army, as well as conducting aerial reconnaissance and artillery calibration.

Wood-covered biplanes were outdated, and metal monoplanes were the future. But in India, biplanes were back in business, because the lack of airports meant that advanced aircraft had little use, and the backward biplanes were able to shine.

Sometimes, the more advanced it is, the better it is. The most suitable one is the best.

Chapter 787 Authority

By the seventh day of the Battle of Bhopal, the German Army and the Madras Republic Army had occupied more than one-third of the city and controlled many important locations. As long as they fought step by step, they would soon be able to completely eliminate the Indian People's Army in the city.

Chandra Bose became much more haggard during this period, and the deteriorating situation on the front line made him exhausted. After the Dominion of India and the Royal Princely Alliance joined the war, he realized that something was wrong, but at that time he still relied on the assistance of the British and French alliance. If they could send 350,000 troops like they did to Central America, it would not matter if the Dominion of India and the Royal Princely Alliance joined the war.

The reason why he distanced himself from the People's Revolutionary League and chose the Anglo-French alliance, in addition to geopolitical considerations, was that he saw that the trade unions could really send out hundreds of thousands of volunteer troops.

However, what happened next was beyond Chandra Bose's expectations.

The Anglo-French alliance and the Central American Syndicalist Federation only sent 10,000 troops in total, and the large amount of aid materials promised by Trotsky in advance was gone. Moreover, Trotsky fled to Chang'an. When Chandra Bose heard the news, he was first stunned, then angry, and finally had no choice but to accept this fact.

The People's Republic of India is currently in a situation of being surrounded and attacked, and is in urgent need of more assistance. If the Anglo-French alliance cannot give Chandra Bose what he wants, won't he have to turn around and cling to the alliance?

It is normal to change one's mind in politics. It is also not bad to flatter someone. As for the plan to change the People's Republic of India into the People's Commune of India, it has been temporarily shelved and no one has mentioned it again.

It used to be so nice to have the alliance big brother behind us, with good food and drinks. But ever since we switched to the trade union, we've been starving!

But Trotsky was unable to get help after he went to Chang'an, and the situation on the front further deteriorated. Bhopal was the main support point of the Indian People's Army in Madhya Pradesh. In order to defend the city, Chandra Bose sent all his elite troops there, including three divisions trained by the Union and 10,000 volunteers sent by the Workers' Syndicate.

With the addition of elite reinforcements, Bhopal's shaky situation has improved. But the situation is still not optimistic. The defenders of Bhopal lack artillery shells, anti-tank weapons, food and medicine, and clean drinking water.

The BJP did not lack ammunition, but it was piled up on the docks of Chittagong and Kolkata. In order to deal with the attacks of the Indian Dominions and the Royal Princely States, the People's Republic of India deployed millions of troops, and the requirements for increased manpower and logistical supplies also increased several times, but the BJP was unable to make good arrangements.

There was a lack of everything on the front line, while the train stations and transportation lines in the rear were in a state of chaos and disorder. Train delays became commonplace, and punctuality would be surprising.

The volunteers sent by the Anglo-French alliance were very dissatisfied with the chaotic logistics. When fighting in Central America, the logistics there were not very good, but at least the soldiers on the front line had bullets and artillery shells and would not starve for a long time (occasionally there would be a lack of timely supplies).

On the Indian side, the situation is in chaos everywhere. The rebels even blew up the water supply station in Bagnan, which is just west of Kolkata, less than 30 miles away!

The volunteers forcibly took over some train stations and tried to transport the ammunition piled up in the port to the front line. With the addition of the syndicate volunteers, the trains ran much more smoothly, but the actions of the syndicate volunteers sparked conflicts between locals and outsiders.

Chandra Bose felt that he was dealing with a mess, and the harder he pulled, the worse it would get. Running a country was not the same as managing a guerrilla army. Without the support of the Union, many aspects of the People's Republic of India were either at a standstill or were starting to go their own way.

The soldiers on the front line had no food, so they began to collect food locally. After more than three months without receiving salary, some local officials have taken spontaneous actions. They rely on collecting tolls, commercial taxes and other methods to raise funds on their own. Such behavior is only one step away from separatism.

The defenders of Bhopal asked Kolkata for supplies three or four times a day, claiming that without food and ammunition, Bhopal could only hold out for three days at most, and that was after reinforcements were sent.

Because of the heavy rain, the defenders of Bhopal had no shortage of drinking water. After drinking the dirty rain water, they might be infected with diseases such as dysentery, but they didn't care. When they were about to die of thirst, they would drink even the poison that killed the enemy instantly.

Not only Bhopal, but also generals on other fronts asked Calcutta for various supplies.

But what could Chandra Bose do? He had lost the bet by jumping from the People's Revolutionary League to the Anglo-French Alliance. Now he wanted to jump back to the People's Revolutionary League, but the Alliance seemed to have no interest in India.

After liberating Southeast Asia, the Alliance can freely enter and exit the Indian Ocean, and now seems to be focusing on Saudi Arabia and Ethiopia. The Alliance and Ethiopia signed a series of economic cooperation plans and sold a lot of machinery and equipment and weapons and equipment to them.

To be fair, Chandra Bose was not an ignorant person. He was a leader with an international vision and sensed something unusual in the League's actions. Did the League really intend to abandon India? Or did the League believe that with the help of the British and French alliance, the German Empire would not be able to occupy the entire India?

What Chandra Bose knew was that President Gandhi of the Madras Republic was his greatest enemy and he would not miss the opportunity to destroy him, and similarly, Gandhi would not miss the opportunity to destroy him.

He regarded Gandhi as a puppet of Germany, while Gandhi regarded him as a demon who brought disaster to India. If it were not for Chandra Bose who started the war, why would India be full of wars? Why would there be so many casualties? Why would the people be displaced?

Chandra Bose had spoken to Gandhi many times, but the political positions of the two sides were too far apart to reach an agreement. Now that the Madras Republic has the upper hand, the two sides are even less likely to reach an agreement.

After much thought, Chandra Bose felt that he should not have believed the lies of the trade unions in the first place. He made a wrong step and was now restricted in every way. He was the undisputed leader of the BJP, but now many people have begun to question his leadership.

If the situation deteriorates further, Chandra Bose's authority will be further affected.

Chapter 788: Note

"The League will send a note to Germany that the Madras Republic can occupy Madhya Pradesh, but it is not allowed to expand further to the east."

In the office of Weiyang Palace, Lin Yongchang met with Trotsky for the third time. "I think His Majesty William II will listen to reason."

Trotsky shook his head. "The Germans will not stop."

The Madras Republic was just a puppet of Germany. In Trotsky's view, the so-called "saint" Gandhi was just a clown. No one would use a clown to make a fuss. Trotsky knew the thinking of the German ruling class very well. He believed that Lin Yongchang also knew that "only force can stop the Germans."

"If the time comes when it is necessary to use force, the Alliance will not sit idly by."

"In that case, why not dispatch the troops now?"

Lin Yongchang smiled and said, "We have our own considerations."

The alliance needs time to purge the Wahhabis in Saudi Arabia, time to build in Australia, and time to wait for the railway and road network in Southeast Asia to take shape... There are many things the alliance needs to do. It needs to wait for hard power, such as the production of warships, tanks, aircraft and other equipment, and soft power, such as the construction of the Port-Don railway and highway. It needs to wait for both hard and soft power to be further enhanced.

These were all the apparent reasons. Trotsky and many members of the trade unions believed that the reason why the People's Revolutionary League appeared slow and indifferent to Indian affairs was that it also wanted to consume the strength of the German and Anglo-French alliances.

Although the People's Revolutionary League and the Anglo-French Alliance cooperated sincerely on the issue of the Central American Syndicalist Federation and jointly overthrew the United States, that did not mean that the Alliance would join forces with the Anglo-French Alliance on the issue of India.

India was once a colony of the British Empire. Now that Britain has made a comeback, is it trying to swallow India again? Even with the prefix of syndicalism, it cannot dispel the concerns of many people.

The alliance does not need to control India, but it cannot let India stand on the side of hostile forces. Whether it is the German Empire or the Anglo-French Alliance, they are all potential threats. To some extent, the Anglo-French Alliance poses a greater threat to the [People's Revolutionary League].

In many cases, heretics are more hateful than pagans. Ideology and religion are both created by European and American civilizations, and they have many similarities. Isn't the life-and-death struggle between capitalism and communism very similar to religious wars? The world of great harmony depicted by communism seems to be no different from the paradise in religion.

According to this theory, the suppression of other religions by the People's Revolutionary League can be explained, and the expulsion of leftists from each other can also be explained. The struggle for the line within the People's Revolutionary League and the brutal killings within the French Commune can also have a self-consistent explanation.

Well, these are the opinions of some dissidents. Lin Yongchang privately thinks there is some truth in them, but he will never admit it publicly. People's fighters and charlatans who prey on the people are definitely not the same thing!

Trotsky did not get what he wanted in Chang'an, but with the promise of the alliance, it was not completely a loss. Chandra Bose asked Chang'an for guidance in his difficult situation, but he did not get much more.

Around Bhopal, a fierce battle broke out between the two camps: Germany, the Republic of Madras, the Dominion of India and the Royal Princely States, and another camp: the People's Republic of India, the Anglo-French Alliance and the Central American Syndicalist Federation.

Both sides invested a large number of troops and technical equipment. The battle lasted from day to night and from night to day. The artillery fire lit up the sky red and the ground became

The remains of the dead soldiers were scattered throughout the potholes and broken walls.

Wave after wave of Indians were torn to pieces by artillery fire and bullets, and blood flowed from their bodies, dyeing the earth dark red. The battle lasted for more than half a month, and the air was filled with the smell of fire and rust, but the strongest smell was the stench of rotting corpses.

The fierce battles around Bhopal reminded many people of the World War. Because the battles were so intense, the bodies decayed quickly in the humid and hot climate of India. Many bodies were not cremated or buried in time, and their skin became pale and swollen, and their stomachs were swollen, as if they were half inflated.

Sometimes when soldiers passed by or shells landed nearby, the swollen belly would suddenly burst, and yellow corpse fluid and white maggots would spray out. Those who saw this horrific scene were all horrified, and those who were splashed with the juice screamed miserably as if they were burned by a red-hot iron.

The bombardment of the artillery group overturned the soil, blew out the bodies buried in the soil, and scattered the broken bodies everywhere. Being in this stinking land was like being in hell.

Many soldiers on both sides could not stand this kind of stimulation and went crazy. In order to keep the soldiers fighting, Germany and the British and French allies used a large amount of stimulants. However, in a place like India, even stimulants had to be shipped from abroad.

The brutality of the Bhopal War is comparable to that of the World War, but the level of military technology has improved a lot, and the war is no longer the same as it was ten years ago. The emergence of tanks and aircraft has changed the form of war.

Outside Bhopal, German tanks and Allied tanks were fighting each other. Inside the city, the Allied heavy tanks played a stabilizing role in many cases. The People's Revolutionary League did not give free food to the BJP, but it still gave a lot of advanced weapons and equipment.

There was a "Hammer" heavy tank guarding the street, blocking the German army for a whole day. When the tracks of the heavy tank were destroyed, it did not lose its combat effectiveness, but became a fixed artillery position.

The heavy tank that had been turned into a gun turret held out until night, until the German army sent out the night attack group: 6949, 36135 engineers to blow it up. The "Hammer" tank had been constantly causing casualties to the German army with its artillery and machine guns.

India became a bloody battlefield for Germany and the British-French alliance, with both sides suffering heavy casualties and consuming a large amount of supplies. But in the end, the reinforcements and supplies from the German Empire came more timely, and the balance of victory gradually tilted towards Germany.

By the end of October, the situation in Bhopal had become very clear. More than half of the British and French volunteers had been killed or wounded, and they had to withdraw from Bhopal along with the remnants of the Indian People's Army.

The Madras Republic Army and the armies of the Indian Dominion and the Royal Princely States Alliance took advantage of the victory and successively captured Sanchi, Raisen and Basoda. The Indian People's Army retreated again and again and completely withdrew from Madhya Pradesh.

The League then again sent a note to the German government and the Madras Republic government, requesting that the war should not spread to areas east of Madhya Pradesh.

Chapter 789: Influx

"Our old friend has drawn a line of end," said William II in a relaxed manner. "He probably thinks he is the king of the world and actually commands the great German army."

"Your Majesty, don't be careless. The People's Revolutionary League is likely to send troops to India."

"Count Hindenburg is right. The League will be happy to teach Chandra Bose and his cronies a lesson with our help, but it will never allow us to occupy the whole of India."

William II said unhappily: "Do hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line have to stop because of Lin's words? If we are frightened by Lin's words, how will our allies view our country? How will those enemies view our country?"

“But if General Sakht goes ahead, there is a good chance that the People’s Army will enter India.”

"They've already entered!"

William II became increasingly dissatisfied. "The People's Revolutionary League has seized Southeast Asia. Their railway has been built to Chittagong. We must keep the alliance's power out of India!"

“That’s probably going to be hard to do.”

"We can send the High Seas Fleet to the Indian Ocean to let the Alliance know the power of the German Empire"

"........."

"........."

The generals and ministers looked at each other, some frowned, some had worried looks in their eyes. William II was sensitive, self-abased, and sometimes arrogant. Over the years, he picked up the "Yellow Peril Theory" again and wanted to lead the entire "civilized world" to resist the evil forces from the East.

Poland is now part of the Union, and the People's Army is stationed on the German-Polish border. Bombers taking off from the border can drop bombs on Berlin. The Union has 200,000 troops stationed in Poland, in addition to 300,000 construction corps. If something happens, the construction corps can pick up weapons at any time and join the battle sequence.

The Alliance also organized a large number of militias and reserve forces in Poland, and could mobilize another 350,000 troops in just one week. The Alliance's defense against Germany was obvious, and it maintained hundreds of thousands of elite troops in the Polish Military District and the Baltic Navy District all year round.

According to the plan of the Union Military Committee, if a war broke out with Germany, the whole of Poland would be destroyed.

Germany got some of the alliance's battle plans (some of which were released by the alliance on its own initiative) and knew that the alliance was very worried about the German attack. However, the German government was also worried about being attacked by the alliance and the British and French alliance.

The hatred of the French Commune towards Germany went beyond the hatred between normal countries, and "revenge" was rampant in France, even more than before the World War. After the World War, Germany was still in a situation of being attacked from both sides.

Although it sounds a bit unreliable that William II wants to send the High Seas Fleet to India, it also reveals the strategic dilemma faced by the German Empire. The World War proved that fighting in Europe is a dead end. Germany, which is caught in two sides, will find it difficult to break the strategic dilemma and will most likely die slowly in constant bleeding.

To break the strategic dilemma, Germany must continue to expand its sphere of influence. Germany must have more land under the sun. Northeastern Africa is not enough. South America and India are both urgently needed by Germany.

After William II said he would send the High Seas Fleet to the Indian Ocean, it was as if a valve had been opened, and a wonderful idea appeared in his mind. He said excitedly: "In addition to sending the High Seas Fleet to the Indian Ocean, we can also deploy a fleet in Papua New Guinea, so that Australia will choose to stand on our side!"

"Your Majesty! We can deploy a fleet in Papua New Guinea, but we cannot send the entire high seas fleet to the Indian Ocean!"

"I know you are worried about the British and French fleets," William II said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, gentlemen. The powerful British Royal Navy no longer exists. The so-called British Red Navy is only half its strength. As for France, the Italian Navy will deal with them."

“The Italians will not necessarily ally with us.”

"Your Majesty, don't forget what Italy did in the World War!"

The Italian government allied with Germany before the World War, but when the World War broke out, Italy first found various excuses not to fulfill its responsibilities as an ally, and later jumped to the side of the Allied Powers and declared war on Germany in turn.

Even in Europe, this kind of back-and-forth behavior is extremely hateful.

The meeting lasted a long time, mainly because William II had another strange idea, which made the topic go off track for a long time, and finally it was finally pulled back. William II and most people agreed to let Hans von Seeckt continue the attack.

"The great German Empire will not accept any blackmail."

"What if the People's Revolutionary League sends troops?"

"Then let's fight with the people in India to see who is truly the world's number one land power."

“Borders are not negotiated, but fought with blood and iron!”

Berlin's will was transmitted to Bhopal via radio waves. After receiving the instructions, General Seckt immediately ordered the troops on the front line to continue the attack. The Madras Republic Army and the German Volunteer Army then marched eastward. Their speed was not fast, but their attitude was very firm.

The Royal Princely State Alliance Army and the Indian Dominion Army had already crossed the end line drawn by the alliance and were heading towards Kolkata.

The League did not care about the local forces in India, but the attitude of Germany. After the German volunteers crossed the border of Madhya Pradesh, the League again protested to Germany. The German ambassador to the League explained the actions of the German army, but we all know that many times the superficial explanation is just to fool people.

To the Alliance, no matter what reasons Germany had, as long as they crossed the termination line set by the Alliance, it would only mean one thing - war.

The People's Army, which had long been prepared for war, poured into Bangladesh from Southeast Asia, along with a large number of political workers. Wherever the People's Army passed, the Alliance controlled all the local railways and roads and took over the local government.

Some local tyrants had become accustomed to doing things their own way. In order to destroy the Madras Republic, Chandra Bose adopted a compromising attitude towards local powerful groups. This gave many Indian tyrants the illusion that their power was sufficient to confront the central government.

Even if the League's army came, India would still be India, and would not become anything else. Everything would remain the same as before. However, they were wrong. The League's way of doing things was completely different from that of Chandra Bose and others.

Chapter 790: Separation

In the past two years, the alliance has trained a large number of Southeast Asian and Indian cadres, mainly responsible for political work, and a small number of military affairs. After the People's Army liberated Southeast Asia, the trained cadres played a great role in stabilizing the situation.

Now, the People's Army entered Bengal, and the cadres took over all the original powers, controlled all the railways and ports, and implemented martial law in Bengal.

Although the People's Army entered Bangladesh, it was not in a hurry to move westward to fight the enemy, but instead carried out a vigorous land reform in Bangladesh. Land reform is often accompanied by killing and bloodshed, and this was also the case in Bangladesh. Even though the alliance did not use the policy of "nationalizing all land" but implemented the policy of "collective ownership of land" in the vast rural areas, many people still jumped out to oppose it.

The Central Committee of the Alliance was not afraid of bloodshed. It was prepared for the necessary killings and the necessity of killings. It used the organized to fight against the unorganized, the well-trained army to fight against the local tyrants, and the People's Army
