Almost at the same time, Ceylon, which is known as the tears of the Indian Peninsula, also began to break out on a large-scale anti-British independence movement.

From the beginning of 1936 to the end of 1936, the Ceylon People's Liberation Army, armed with advanced European and American weapons smuggled into Ceylon Island through various channels, grew from the initial 9,000 people to more than 70,000 people.

After more than a year of arduous battles by the Ceylon People's Liberation Army, the British army suffered heavy casualties.

The most terrifying thing is that starting from March 1936, the British commander-in-chief and senior generals in Ceylon died suddenly.

From March 2016 to January 2017, the British army arranged three consecutive rounds of commander-in-chief in Ceylon and other senior officials, but all of them had a mysterious collective death, one of which died from cerebral hemorrhage or myocardial infarction.

Later, not only high-level soldiers, but also middle and lower-level British officers and soldiers, as well as large merchants and large capitalists operating on Ceylon Island, large-scale terrorist deaths began to break out.

By the end of 1936, after the third group of commanders died in a mysterious collective death, no one was willing to go to the island to command the British army to fight against the Ceylon People's Liberation Army.

In the eyes of the British, Ceylon became an island cursed by demons. None of the British, whether they were soldiers or ordinary people, were willing to stay on this island cursed by demons.

In January 1937, Britain had to negotiate with the Ceylon People's Liberation Army to allow them to evacuate a large number of British troops stationed on Ceylon Island, and to allow them to evacuate supplies and equipment from several ports in Ceylon.

However, the Ceylon PLA only agreed that British troops and civilians could evacuate, but had to leave weapons and equipment and all British assets in Ceylon.

This puts the British army in a dilemma. If the army is not withdrawn and the troops that are not commanded will sooner or later be eliminated by the Ceylon PLA, but the abandonment of a large number of British assets and facilities on Ceylon Island makes the British really unable to feel at ease.

At this moment, Botao Company came forward, and Botao Company conveyed their intention to buy all the British supplies and equipment on Ceylon through special relations to the British senior management.

At the same time, they said that they could teach with the Ceylon PLA through private channels, allowing them to recognize their company's legal status after the future founding of Ceylon.

With the mediation of Botao Company, the British government in the deep crisis certainly wanted it. In the end, at a very low price, all the assets of all the official and private enterprises on Ceylon Island were resold to Botao Company.

Through mediation, Botao Company also let the British troops evacuate Ceylon with weapons and equipment very decently. The only condition is that the UK recognizes Ceylon, which it can no longer control, as an independent country.

Although Britain felt frustrated, it was helpless to accept this condition.

In February 1937, Britain had to give up its actual control over Ceylon.

The Ceylon PLA completely gained control of Ceylon and announced the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Ceylon in February 1937.

With countless behind-the-scenes transactions, by March, the world's major developed countries recognized Ceylon's status as an independent state, and the China United Government also recognized the legal status of the Democratic Republic of Ceylon at the first time.

In March, with the help of Botao Company, the United Government of China and the Democratic Republic of Ceylon signed a naval base lease agreement. China leased 600 square kilometers of land and more than 30 kilometers of coastline around the Hambantota area of ​​Ceylon as a naval base.

This port is mainly used to dock two large aircraft carriers and more than a dozen large naval ships including cruisers, which the Chinese anti-Japanese democratic government has customized in the United States since September 2019.

Starting from March 1937, as the contractor of Hambantota Naval Base, Botao Company recruited engineering and technicians and workers from all over the world to enter the Hambantota area of ​​Ceylon. At the same time, my country also sent a large number of engineering and technicians and engineering troops to go to Hambantota, Ceylon to start the construction of the first naval base in public.

At the same time, the Chinese People's Navy, which was originally managed by the Third Field Army, also moved from the Yangtze River to the South China Sea Naval Base in the second half of 1936 to accelerate its construction in the North Sea of ​​Guangxi.

In Guangxi Beihai Port, the construction of the first domestic military port of the Chinese Anti-Japanese Democratic Government was also started. However, considering factors such as maritime blockade and aircraft bombing, the construction of the Beihai Port is not large in scale, and it mainly meets the requirements of offshore combat.

With the construction of these three naval military bases, both open and secret, Xunhuaizhou's concerns about our future maritime rights have been greatly alleviated.

Xun Huaizhou knew that although the Japanese imperialist navy was still in an absolute dominant position at present, he believed that with Zhou Tao's secret plan and cutting-edge research on the Qilin organization later.

With the massive amount of manpower, financial and material resources that Zhou Tao secretly controlled and mobilized, as long as his navy is given a few years of development, it will definitely develop into a powerful naval force that is daunting to the whole world.

The two island countries secretly controlled by Zhou Tao will be two crucial nodes for the Chinese Navy to move towards the ocean and protect our global interests.

With this one in the Pacific, one in the Indian Ocean.

After the outbreak of World War II guided by Zhou Tao, the right to speak in Asia and the Pacific region will no longer be handed over to the hands of Americans as in history, and will become the hands of Asians led by their motherland.

Asia, especially China, will surely become the most leading and developed region in the world.

Therefore, Xun Huaizhou and Zhou Tao are determined to win these plans.

For this reason, in addition to dispatching the absolutely powerful attack force of the Dragon Group, which is almost no one in the world, Zhou Tao himself also dispatched several times, using his special skills to solve the most difficult problem.

Finally, the great situation today was exchanged, and everything was moving towards the situation planned by Xun Huaizhou and Zhou Tao in the small valley of Chongqing.

Starting from 1937, as in history, capitalist countries such as Japan and Western Europe once again broke out on a larger scale when the previous economic crisis cycle had not yet fully recovered.

Unlike the original history, due to the Botao Company and other dark forces controlled by Zhou Tao, it plundered financial and resource resources in Western countries, especially major countries such as Japan, Britain, Germany, and France.

This has made these countries' economic entry more violently and profound than in history. It has a particularly huge impact on Western countries.

On the world turf, although the wheels of history have changed, there has been no major deviation.
