269: Chapter 369 The Disintegration of India
Li Yi quickly delivered the second batch of weapons and equipment to the Libyan National Army, ensuring that the Libyan National Army had enough weapons and ammunition to launch a war covering the entire country.
In the following months, Li Yi used the Multiverse Arms Trading System to teleport to countries like Iran and Russia, successively collecting resources such as 20 billion cubic meters of natural gas, 150 million tons of coal, 30 million tons of iron ore, and 22.5 million tons of copper ore.
Li Yi also delivered all the remaining fighter jets purchased by Iran, completing all arms transactions with Iran.
As for the coal and other resources from Serbia and Pakistan, with both countries vigorously mining resources, the remaining 960 million tons of coal, 60 million tons of molybdenite, and 90 million tons of copper ore were all delivered in just two years.
After Li Yi negotiated with Major General Zaha, all of Syria's remaining 15.48 billion USD in funds were used to purchase "Eagle" series fighter jets and "Flying Fish" series destroyers, but because the funds were not large, they were unable to purchase many.
They only purchased two "Flying Fish" series destroyers and over 50 "Eagle" series fighter jets, which, along with the supporting missiles and ammunition, basically exhausted those funds.
Syria did not need a very powerful navy or air force. Now that they had the Persian Gulf coalition, they no longer needed to worry about the USA and only needed to guard against attacks from Turkey. Therefore, they did not continue to add funds for large-scale purchases.
With Mannila's mediation, Li Yi sold a batch of arms to opposition armed forces in many European countries, but the purchase volume was not large, at most consuming a lot of the armored vehicles Li Yi had previously purchased.
With the addition of these weapons and equipment, they suddenly gained confidence. After struggling with the local authorities, they successively established the Republic of Northern Ireland, the Republic of Catalonia, the Republic of Sardinia, the Republic of Sicily, and others, making the European region even more divided.
After Colonel Beka received all the weapons and equipment, he quickly completed the integration of the Libyan National Army and began to march toward the southern and western regions.
Due to possessing a large number of armored vehicles, their weapons and equipment had a clear advantage over other local armed forces, and no faction could withstand the offensive of the Libyan National Army.
Coupled with the large-scale bombing by the Tianlong Series UAVs, they had basically lost nearly half of their troops before even engaging in direct combat. Following the assault by armored vehicles, the only path left for them was to surrender.
After more than a month of offensives, Colonel Beka successively recaptured most of the southern and eastern regions, and also secured a significant amount of territory in the western region.
Just as the Libyan National Army was advancing rapidly, France saw that the situation was not right and hurriedly dispatched troops to intervene. However, even though France sent its strongest Foreign Legion, it was unable to contend with the Libyan National Army.
After several consecutive engagements between the two sides, France lost a large number of weapons and equipment, and casualties were also high. Even though many fighter jets were dispatched from France to bomb Libya, they ultimately failed to achieve any results, and instead lost nearly 80 combat aircraft.
France saw that intervening in Libya was no longer possible and had to helplessly give up its interests in Libya. Although the United Kingdom and the USA also dispatched some intervention forces, they likewise failed to achieve any results.
After all, seeing external forces intervening, Colonel Beka had to continue recruiting soldiers to replenish the Libyan National Army, and with the support of the Government of National Accord, the number of the Libyan National Army reached over 120,000, making it a relatively strong armed force in North Africa.
After France, the USA, and others successively withdrew from Libya, Colonel Beka let loose and launched a full-scale offensive against local armed forces across Libya. In two months, he eliminated the vast majority of local armed forces; even if a small number were not eliminated, they could only hide in the desert and could no longer stir up any trouble.
After completing the control of the entire territory of Libya, Colonel Beka formed the Libyan Unity Party with the Government of National Accord, established the ruling government of Libya, and began to promote the restoration of economic order in Libya.
Libya not only reclaimed the oil and natural gas resources that had been controlled by the USA and European countries but also further expanded production scale, striving to restore oil and natural gas output.
In just one year, Libya's natural gas and oil production returned to the level of eight years ago, and two years later, it recovered to the highest historical production level, with plans to continue increasing oil and natural gas output.
After Libya restored oil and natural gas production, Li Yi successively collected 800 million barrels of oil and 100 billion cubic meters of natural gas within two years, which could be considered as reaching the expected returns for his support of Libya.
To strengthen Libya's national defense, Colonel Beka later purchased 100 "Eagle" series fighter jets and 10 "Flying Fish" series destroyers from Li Yi, allowing Li Yi to obtain over 500 million barrels of oil and 50 billion cubic meters of natural gas.
After Major General Arif completed the reorganization of the Pakistan army, he immediately launched an offensive against India. He took the lead in the Kashmir region, using Tianlong Series UAVs to bomb the local India positions, quickly tearing open several gaps.
The following armored vehicles continuously expanded the advantage, leaving India with no time to react, and a brilliant victory was achieved. Major General Arif ordered the army to continue advancing, constantly occupying territory controlled by India.
In order to completely crush India, the Pakistan army launched an offensive against India from multiple locations in the east. Since India's defense priority was on the Kashmir region, these areas had insufficient troop deployment, were quickly breached by Pakistan, and the army marched into Indian territory.
In less than two months, the army commanded by Major General Arif had arrived at the outskirts of New Delhi, India, and began to faintly form a siege circle.
Seeing this situation, India was so frightened that it hurriedly fled New Delhi. Various independent forces within its borders saw the opportunity, successively launched armed struggles, expelled the military and police stationed by India, and soon many independent countries emerged.
Beset by troubles internally and externally, India had to recognize these independent countries. In reality, India had fallen apart, and the territory it could control was less than 40% of the original area.
India hurriedly negotiated with Pakistan. After consultations between the two sides, India completely abandoned the Kashmir region; a part of the Kashmir region originally controlled by India was allocated to Pakistan, and the remaining part established the Republic of Kashmir, no longer under the control of India.
Pakistan also gained the accession of a small number of princely states from western India. India effectively lost control of these places and had to helplessly agree.
After achieving its goals, Pakistan withdrew its troops from India. However, India had now split into more than a dozen countries, India's strength was greatly weakened, all garrisons in the surrounding areas were withdrawn, and its influence could not even compare to Pakistan's.
