The huge Northeastern Army Indian Ocean Fleet once again sailed out of the Singapore military port base and quickly launched a fierce attack on the Indian Ocean, launching a campaign to "seize comprehensive sea control over the entire Indian Ocean and capture the oil-rich Southwest Asia and South Africa, which is rich in gold and diamonds."  "Region", a large-scale land and sea battle codenamed "Typhoon Tsunami".  The operational instructions given by General Zhang Xueliang, Supreme Commander of the Army, Navy and Air Force of the Northeast Army of China, and the Northeast Frontier Defense Department of China to the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Navy of the Northeast Army, Admiral Shen Honglie, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Northeast Army, Lieutenant General Dong Yanjie, were concise and straightforward: ¡°Strengthen the entire Southwest Asia region.  and the African continent south of the Tropic of Capricorn will all be included in China¡¯s territory! No island in the Indian Ocean will be spared!"

    In the early morning of December 13, ships were like clouds and whistles were blasting in the air near the Maldives Islands in the North Indian Ocean Autonomous Region of China. The 4th Mixed Fleet of the Northeastern Army¡¯s Indian Ocean Fleet crossed the 0 latitude of the equator and sailed into the southern hemisphere. The flagship "Hui"  "Battleship" and the heavy cruiser "Zang", the light cruiser "Yao", the light cruiser "Dong", the destroyer "Harbin", the destroyer "Jiamusi", the large hospital ship "Northeast Red Cross", and the "Xingkai"  The battle consisted of hundreds of warships including the large ocean-going transport ship "Hu", the large-scale ocean-going transport ship "Qinghai Lake", the large-scale ocean-going troop carrier "Yangtze River", the large-scale ocean-going troop transport "Yellow River" and 45,000 army and naval troops.  The overwhelming silver tsunami swept across the entire southern Indian Ocean unstoppably.

    On the morning of December 15, the 4th Mixed Fleet of the Northeast Army, under the command of fleet commander Colonel Wang Xianqiong, passed through the Secher Islands in China¡¯s North Indian Ocean Autonomous Region and entered the waters of Comoros; at 1 p.m., the 269th Combined Fleet of the Northeast Army  A mechanized assault battalion of the division landed on Grande Comoros Island. Two hours later, with the assistance of three seaplanes, the assault battalion easily occupied the city of Moroni, the capital of the Comoros. The Comoros government announced its surrender.  The Moro Islands were annexed to China;

    On the afternoon of December 17th and noon of December 18th, the two main regiments of the 269th Division of the Northeast Army landed on Mauritius Island and Reunifa (French) respectively, and occupied the two capitals, Port Louis and Saint-Denis, almost without a fight.  , the governments of Mauritius and Reunif immediately surrendered, and the Mascarene Islands where the two countries were located were annexed to China.

    On December 20, the Northeastern Army¡¯s 4th Indian Ocean Fleet launched a land and sea attack on Madagascar, the largest island in Africa, the fourth largest island in the world, and one of France¡¯s colonies in Africa.  At 7 a.m., five "Swift" seaplanes launched by the Northeastern Army Fleet attacked the city of Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar, and dropped more than a dozen aerial bombs into the city, which immediately caused panic and huge chaos in the city.  Amid the heartbreaking air raid sirens, thousands of local citizens and French expatriates scrambled to flee the city in a panic.  The colonial authorities stationed here by the "Free French" government had very little military power. They only had an army force of less than 4,000 people (most of them were recruited from the local area) and a few old-fashioned aircraft.  Unable to stop the fierce offensive of the Northeast Army.  At about 8 o'clock, Toamasina, the western port of Madagascar, was quickly and easily occupied by the Northeastern Army's landing force under the overwhelming bombardment of the heavy battleship "Hui" and the heavy cruiser "Tibet" with large-caliber naval guns.  Immediately afterwards, elite troops of the Northeastern Army's 48th and 50th Mechanized Infantry Brigades and the 272nd and 275th Mechanized Infantry Divisions, totaling more than 38,000 people, landed at the harbor smoothly, and each unit attacked the city of Antananarivo in batches.  .  The population of cities and towns throughout Madagascar is less than 100,000. Only the capital, Antananarivo, is a large city with a population of nearly one million. It is also the political, economic, cultural, and transportation center of Madagascar, occupying Antananari.  Buddha is equivalent to capturing the entire island of Madagascar.

    At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, a mechanized assault battalion of the 911th Regiment, the main force of the 50th Brigade (this regiment was nicknamed the "Skeleton Regiment" because it massacred a large number of Vietnamese people in South Vietnam), was attacked by deputy commander and battalion commander Zhong Yuxuan.  Under the personal leadership of the lieutenant colonel, 600 elite soldiers marched more than 260 kilometers in more than 30 heavy vehicles or six-wheeled infantry fighting vehicles. Under the cover of two "Leopard" armored vehicles, the assault battalion  They drove into the city of Antananarivo without encountering almost any resistance.

    At this time, the capital of Madagascar was in chaos and was choked with crowds. There were curses, cries and car horns in various languages. Panic French expats and "Free France" could be seen everywhere.  "Officials dispatched by the government's colonial authorities, French officers, soldiers, and local black residents were all scrambling for roads and escaping as if the end of the world was coming.Launched an anti-British military coup.  Two elite Iraqi infantry divisions, an armored brigade and other elite troops gathered outside the capital Baghdad were transferred into the city. The coup forces armed with AK assault rifles quickly surrounded and controlled the entire city, cutting off communications from the capital to the whole country.  They used force to detain royal family members and senior military and political leaders, including King Faisal III of Iraq and the "pro-British" Prime Minister Nouri Said, and captured alive the British Deputy Commander-in-Chief in the Middle East, General William Joseph Slim.  In the early morning, the Royal Guards loyal to King Faisal and the British troops in Iraq, under the command of Lieutenant General Arthur Tedder, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Air Force in the Middle East, began to engage in fierce exchanges of fire with the coup forces.  Amid the commotion across the city and the rain of gunfire, Lieutenant General Rashid Ali announced to the country through the Iraqi National Radio: The puppet Faisal royal regime controlled by the British has been overthrown, and the Islamic Kingdom of Iraq has been established!  At the same time, Lieutenant General Ali also announced that the newly born Kingdom of Iraq will unswervingly join the Axis Alliance and will, with the help of China, Germany, Italy and other allies, fight to defeat the evil Western powers and liberate the country that is still under their dire rule.  The Iraqi people fought bloody battles.

    Seven hours later, over the clear blue sky over Baghdad, fighter jets were like clouds, silver wings covering the sun, and the roar of huge engines was like rolling thunder.  Under the escort of fighter jets and bombers, the Northeast Army Air Force transport aircraft group taking off from Basra and Ahvaz field airports airdropped 3,000 elite paratroopers from the 750th Regiment of the 18th Airborne Brigade into the city, assisted by the deputy brigade commander Colonel He Mingyang.  Rashid Ali's coup army resisted the attack on Baghdad by the former Faisal Kingdom Guards and the British Army in Iraq.  On the afternoon of the 25th, the 250th and 269th Mechanized Infantry Divisions of the Northeastern Army arrived in Baghdad and participated in the battle. The Chinese-Iranian coalition forces quickly defeated the counterattacks of the former Faisal Kingdom Guards and the British army, and moved all the way north, successively conquering Mosul in northern Iraq.  Erbil, Kirkuk, three important towns; on February 4, Major General Xiong Hu, commander of the 250th Division of the Northeastern Army, commanded two Chinese divisions, four Iraqi divisions, one Arab division, and one Iranian division  They raided Syria (which was a French colony at this time) and defeated three Free French brigades commanded by Lieutenant General Jadreau, Commander-in-Chief of the Free France in the Middle East, and two brigades commanded by Lieutenant General Arthur Tedder, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Air Force in the Middle East.  A Commonwealth division, the Chinese-Iranian coalition forces soon captured all of Syria and Lebanon, and the two countries were merged into the Kingdom of Iraq; on the 7th, the Chinese-Iraqi coalition forces successfully joined forces with the navies of Germany, Italy, and Greece, members of the Axis Powers, and entered the eastern Mediterranean  Cyprus won the Southwest Asia Campaign, and the three countries of Arabia, Iraq, and Iran have all become members of the Axis Powers and China's oil depots.  The British and "Free French" forces in the Middle East and Southwest Asia were defeated across the board and were forced to withdraw into Palestine (Jordan at this time was part of Palestine and was called East Palestine).  (The Soviet campaign and the Pacific campaign are the focus, so Southwest Asia and South Africa will be omitted. If it were to cover everything, the novel would be too lengthy; plus I got caught in the rain during the Mid-Autumn Festival and was in an "unhealthy" state at this time.
