Chapter 201 Indo-Western Alliance
With more than 650,000 troops, the Indo-Western Alliance seemed to have the upper hand due to its large scale.
But the top leaders of both sides knew that the armed forces of the Indo-Western Alliance were just useless in front of the Nanyang Empire's army.
There are less than two hundred artillery pieces, and the total number of heavy machine guns is just over five hundred.
Most of the people are equipped with old-fashioned bolt-action rifles retired from the John and Lighthouse countries. In addition, many of the people recruited have not been fully trained, and some are not even proficient in basic loading and unloading. .
It is no exaggeration to say that the combat effectiveness of the Indo-Western Alliance is inferior to that of some local armies in China.
They are now the only armed force in the Indo-Western region to resist the Nanyang Empire. They are not complacent, but are afraid that Wei Junlin will kill them in one fell swoop.
It is also true that when Wei Junlin's surrender notice was parachuted into the area controlled by the Indo-Western Alliance via Red Alert Badger bombers, a large number of local people stepped forward to pick up the surrender notice on the ground and read it. After reading it, they were quite touched. .
Families of soldiers from the Indo-Western Alliance tried to contact their relatives who were serving as soldiers in the Indo-Western Alliance and asked them to flee the alliance as soon as possible.
In just one day, more than 100,000 of the Indo-Western Alliance, which originally had 650,000 troops, fled. This shows that many people are not optimistic that the Indo-Western Alliance can withstand the powerful army of the Nanyang Empire.
On the second day, more soldiers escaped than yesterday.
Even though the Indo-Western Alliance's supervisory team vigorously arrested and shot deserters, more than 150,000 people still escaped from the Indo-Western Alliance.
Not only that, there was another uproar among the top leaders of the Indo-Western Alliance.
Just like the original Nankash Alliance, two factions emerged within it.
One faction is a close faction that wants to surrender and then join Wei Junlin's Nanyang Empire.
The other group is the die-hards, who firmly believe that the Indo-Western region will always belong to the Indo-Western people, and threaten to fight to the death with the army of the Nanyang Empire.
The numbers of the two factions were about the same, making internal fighting in full swing.
Seeing this, the leader of the Indo-Spanish Alliance convened a supreme meeting of the alliance and invited all the leaders of the eighteen armed forces of the Indo-Spanish Alliance to attend.
There are still six hours until the three-day period.
In the highest meeting room of the Indo-Western Alliance.
The leader of the alliance sat at the head of the table, and on both sides of the long table sat the leaders of the two factions in the alliance.
Those sitting on the left are die-hards, while those sitting on the right are close-minded.
"The purpose of calling everyone here this time is to discuss whether to surrender to the Nanyang Empire."
The leader of the alliance is a middle-aged man wearing a long cloth coat and a silk scarf on his head. He is full of the aura of a cultured man.
And this person is the most powerful Maichi armed force among the eighteen armed forces of the Indo-Western Alliance, with a strength of 100,000.
"We must not surrender. The Indo-Western region is where our ancestors lived and must not be handed over to outsiders."
An old man from the die-hard faction patted the table, then stood up and expressed his stance resolutely.
"What were you doing when the River Kingdom colonized the Indo-Western region? If the Nanyang Empire hadn't defeated the River Kingdom, you would still be a dog in front of the people of the River Kingdom. And now you still have the shame to say this, so you still have no shame."
A young man from the close faction also stood up and angrily criticized the old man in front of him in public.
People from the two groups immediately got into a fuss, accusing each other, and the words they said were as unpleasant as they could sound, and they almost didn't start fighting in public.
"have you had enough!"
The alliance leader slammed the table heavily and scolded loudly.
For the sake of the alliance leader, everyone present sat down, closed their mouths, and temporarily stopped arguing.
"Leader, what is your attitude?"
A leader of the close faction asked the alliance leader sitting on the first seat.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room looked at the alliance leader, as if hoping to gain the alliance leader's support.
At this time, the leader of the Indo-Western Alliance also knew that no matter which side he stood on, he would inevitably become the enemy of the other side, so he did not express his position clearly, but said it in a different direction.
"The leaders of the eighteen forces in the Indo-Western Alliance have gathered together, so we will vote on whether to surrender to the Nanyang Empire. But the ugly words have come to the forefront. Anyone who refuses to admit his guilt will be a public enemy of the alliance and will be punished! "
The leader of the Indo-Western Alliance looked around at everyone and said with a stern expression.
Everyone in the room echoed, obviously agreeing with the leader's proposal.
A round of voting began, with a total of eighteen votes representing eighteen armed forces.
When the voting ended, the vote count was ten to eight, and the close faction won, so much so that the leader announced in public that the Indo-Western Alliance would surrender to the Nanyang Empire tomorrow.
……
A few days later.
Inside the palace of the Nanyang Empire.
Regarding the voting on the Indo-Western Alliance, Wei Junlin had learned the entire story through the Red Alert spies.
Originally, the die-hards and close factions voted seven to seven, and the other four forces were all neutral.
However, due to the successful instigation of the Red Alert spies, the two neutral forces were persuaded. Otherwise, the close faction might not have been able to win the original vote.
In the past few days, the Indo-Western Alliance has all surrendered to the Nanyang Empire.
It’s just that not all their weapons have been handed over yet.
The remaining lands in the Indo-Western region were finally included in Wei Junlin's Nanyang Empire.
Since then, the Indo-Western region of more than 1.9 million square kilometers in Southeast Asia has been completely included in the empire's territory.
At noon that day, the leaders of the Indo-Western Alliance went to the palace of the Nanyang Empire to meet the famous Emperor Wei Junlin.
Before the alliance leader entered the palace hall, all the weapons on his body were searched by the red police guards and kept temporarily.
When the leader of the Indo-Western Alliance entered the splendid palace hall and saw Wei Junlin sitting on the throne, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said respectfully to Wei Junlin.
"Chuck, leader of the Indo-Western Alliance, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor!"
There are very few people that Chuck has admired in his life, but Wei Junlin in front of him is the person he admires the most.
Not only did he serve the country and the people, he also defeated the Western powers and caused untold suffering to these Western powers.
"No gift."
Wei Junlin waved his hand and responded calmly.
With just one glance, Wei Junlin realized that Chuck was not simple.
This guy is definitely a hero, and he is also extremely ambitious.
If he left it in the Nanyang Empire, he would undoubtedly be planting a time bomb around him.
Chuck stood up and said bluntly to Wei Junlin without changing his expression: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I wonder how you have considered the matter requested by our Indo-Western Alliance?"
Wei Junlin already knew about this matter.
The Indo-Western Alliance wanted to gain autonomous region status within the empire.
It is equivalent to the superficial surrender of the Indo-Western Alliance to the Nanyang Empire.
The Indo-Western Alliance has a high degree of autonomy within the control area.
But how could Wei Junlin agree?
If we really give them a high degree of autonomy, who can guarantee that they will not rebel in the future.
"There is no problem in obtaining the status of an autonomous region. But Chuck, are you willing to stop here?"
Wei Junlin began to lie seriously.
First, hold Chuck steady and pretend to agree.
"What do you mean?"
Chuck asked with a puzzled look on his face.
At the same time, he was also surprised that Wei Junlin agreed so happily.
"You are a talented person, so I intend to support you. I want you to become the king of the Southeast Peninsula and let your Indo-Western Alliance establish a country in the Southeast Peninsula. What do you think?"
Wei Junlin looked kind and looked down at Chuck below.
The Southeast Peninsula is also within the scope of Nanyang and is one of Wei Junlin's next goals.
In this peninsula, except for Taiguo, which is an independent country, the rest are colonies of Western powers.
For example, Hounan area, Laoguo area, Jianzhai area and Miantian area.
Wei Junlin intended to introduce the Indo-Western Alliance to the southeastern peninsula, thereby launching a plan to lure the tiger to devour the wolf.
It can not only resolve the Indo-Western Alliance, but also reap the benefits of being a fisherman and include the southeastern peninsula into the territory of the Nanyang Empire.
As soon as these words came out.
Chuck's whole body trembled, and his face was quite excited.
Obviously, Chuck's heart was moved by Wei Junlin's words.
Rather than surrendering to the Nanyang Empire, he was more willing to expand his ambitions, conquer the Southeast Peninsula and become the king of this place.
If it had been placed before, perhaps the hope of success would have been extremely slim.
But with the powerful Nanyang Empire as its backer, it might be possible to accomplish great things.
This time, Chuck willingly knelt down on one knee to Wei Junlin, raised his hands and said, "Thank you for your support, your majesty. I am willing to give it a try."
