Rise from the sword

"what?"

"This is real?"

"you sure?"

In the Austrian Prime Minister's Office, after reading the telegram in his hand, Mr. Prime Minister couldn't help but look up at his secretary, his eyes widened, his face was full of disbelief, and he even questioned him three times in a row.

Obviously, the content of the new telegram just received was too unexpected for Prime Minister Austria, so that he did not believe it, or rather, he could not believe it, nor did he want to believe it.

Of course, if you know the content of this telegram, you can understand Prime Minister Austria's mood at this time.

The British Empire, actually publicly condemned them in Austria?

Really, it made Ozhou unbelievable and unbelievable.

"This is what happened this morning."

The secretary sighed:

"They . . . held a press conference and publicly . . . expressed their condemnation of our supply of arms and ammunition to the Japanese."

It can be seen from the secretary's stammering and staccato tone that it took him a long time to accept this fact.

"How can you do this!"

"how so!"

After confirming the authenticity of the news, Prime Minister Austria could only force himself to accept the reality with difficulty and slowly.

"us···"

"how come···"

The Prime Minister paced back and forth.

After a while, the Prime Minister realized that he really couldn't accept it, nor could he understand it.

Although Aozhou has embraced the thighs of the United States, it is still loyal to the British Empire. Currently, hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting in the British mainland and the west coast of France, working for the British Empire.

It still provides materials for the British Empire, although it is not an important material. After all, Ozhou itself is poor, but it is also trying its best!

As for turning around and reporting to the American thigh, you can't blame Ozhou for this. Who made your British Empire weak?
In the end, they came to condemn them.

Although there is nothing to lose from being condemned, it feels very uncomfortable and affects morale.

And what happened to the supply of weapons to the Japanese?
The prime minister was very angry and aggrieved, feeling that the world was not worth it.

"Mr. Prime Minister."

The secretary continued to sigh:

"According to the information we have, last month, 150 million tons of materials were transported from the Republic of China to the British mainland, including more than 30 tons of various military materials including anti-aircraft guns."

"As of this month's No. 20 yesterday, this quantity has increased to 200 million tons."

"Transportation from the Republic of China to the British mainland?"

The Prime Minister was obviously stunned for a long time when he heard the news for the first time.

Now the Germans have cut off the Strait of Gibraltar, which has led to the fact that although the Suez Canal is still in the hands of the British Empire, the shipping route between the United Kingdom and Asia must bypass the Cape of Good Hope in the southernmost part of Africa.

The voyage directly increases by more than [-] kilometers.

and.

Compared with the United States to the British mainland, it is an increase of [-] kilometers. No matter how you look at it, it is not cost-effective to buy materials from the Republic of China to go to the British mainland.

Of course, if these were true, he could understand why he had been betrayed.

Although hundreds of thousands of troops are very important.

However, after the bombing of the British Empire, the Austrian army mainly relied on the U.S. military to fight and became the actual younger brother of the United States. The British Empire, which has colonies all over the world, is not scarce. After the domestic industry suffered large-scale damage, the demand for materials more urgent.

He can understand buying Ozhou for millions of tons of monthly supplies.

Yes he will too.

Just like when the Pacific War broke out, he defected to the arms of the United States.

"Correct."

The secretary continued:

"In addition, there are 10,000+ native British technicians working in the Republic of China, in the form of war labor!"

"War laborers!"

Although Prime Minister Austria, who has been disconnected from the Internet for a long time, knows that a large number of British people went to work in the Republic of China, he still does not know about the war labor. After all, the mouthpiece of the world is now in the hands of Britain and the United States.

The Yankees apparently haven't dismantled the British Empire yet.

"How could this be?"

The prime minister still couldn't understand.

"Information gathered from mainland England."

The secretary explained:
"The materials transported by the Republic of China to the British mainland are half cheaper than those in the United States."

"what!"

Prime Minister Austria did not understand even more.

The transportation distance has been increased by nearly three times, and the distance price has been reduced by half. How is this possible?Could it be that the people of the Republic of China are robbing businesses at a loss?Buy the British Empire?Steal American business?
How did this happen?
It's not logical!
"in addition."

The secretary continued:

"Those skilled workers who go to the mainland of the Republic of China will pay the British government at least [-] million U.S. dollars in labor costs!"

"This!"

It was even more incomprehensible, but Prime Minister Austria realized for the first time that the situation might be more troublesome than he expected!
Although the other side has just escaped from the war, its strength is much stronger than he imagined. Not only is it strong in military strength, it can do business with the British Empire, and it also has millions of tons. Economically and industrially, it may be far behind. Exceeded his expectations.

At this moment, before Prime Minister Austria digested the shocking news, a secretary ran in in a panic:

"Prime Minister, armed conflict broke out in the northern city of Gove, and more than 500 people occupied the local municipality. They said, self-government!"

"what!"

The prime minister bit his own tongue.

He rushed to the map and looked at the city where the armed conflict took place. This is a small port city on the west coast of the north. It is mainly engaged in mining and has a population of just over 5000. In Ozhou, such a city is actually not small. After all , with a total population of no more than 1000 million.

More than 2000 people in this port city are laborers on the other side.

"Damn it! It's the other side who is instigating behind the scenes!"

The prime minister immediately realized the crux of the matter, and it was the people on the other side who were behind the scenes. Otherwise, with Gove's vigilance and their own control over the miners, they would not be able to carry out an armed riot.

"Mobilize troops to suppress immediately."

The Austrian Prime Minister immediately issued an order:
"Catch them all, and shoot them if they dare to resist!"

"Where's the nearest Army unit?"

Mr. Prime Minister then asked.

He is not panicking.

Although the main force of the Austrian army is abroad because of its participation in the European war, there are still many army and garrison troops stationed in the country at this time, with a total strength of no less than [-]. As for the navy, [-]% of them are in the country.

Enough to put down the rebellion.

As for the other side, although the old club, the British Empire, is unreliable, the fleet of the United States of America has already set off.

"An infantry battalion, more than 500 people, equipped with four M3 tanks, stationed in Newland, [-] kilometers away."

The secretary answered immediately.

"Let them go at once."

The Prime Minister said:

"Arrive as quickly as possible and suppress the rebellion, all I want is speed."

One hundred kilometers, along the road, the infantry can arrive in three days at most.

"Let the navy send another destroyer over there."

······
Natuna.

"Attention, it must be fixed."

At the airport, a platoon leader was instructing the loading and unloading personnel to load four 75 anti-tank guns and dozens of boxes of artillery shells onto a four-engine transport plane.

On the other side, the same four-engine transport plane was also parked, and the same officer was commanding three large jeeps and barrels of fuel were also loaded into the cargo compartment of this plane.

As the viewing angle improves, a whole row of four-engine transport planes are loading and unloading cargo in an orderly manner, and each plane is supervised by an officer.

Due to the problem of counterweight in flight, aircraft loading and unloading is also a technical task.

Therefore, after the goods were loaded into the warehouse, the two platoon leaders carefully inspected the warehouse to ensure that the goods were fixed and stable, and that there would be no problems during the flight that would lead to actual incidents.

In the early days, the army had learned a lot of blood and tears, but now that a large number of newcomers have poured into the army, officers at all levels have to cheer up.

In a room under the airport tower, a logistics staff officer is reporting to a battalion commander:
"A total of eight transport planes transported a total of 75 tons of materials, including eight 120mm anti-tank guns, four 60mm mortars, sixteen 84mm mortars, two base shells, and twenty 12.7mm recoilless guns , 12.7 rounds of shells, ten [-]mm machine guns, [-] rounds of [-]mm bullets..."

"Eight 75 anti-tank guns, four 120 mortars..."

The battalion commander's tone was full of emotion.

This battalion commander is an old man in the army. He participated in the Battle of Pingxingguan back then. He was still a leading soldier at that time.

"I remember, there are only more than 500 people there, right?"

asked the battalion commander.

"Correct."

The staff officer replied:

"Currently, Gove has assembled an armed force of 570 people, and it is expected to increase to 500 in three days. There are enough light weapons such as rifles and light machine guns, but there is a lack of heavy weapons."

"One thousand and six hundred people."

The battalion commander's tone was still emotional.

Even with 500 people, the number of these weapons is amazing.

However, the strength of less than one battalion actually has eight anti-tank guns, four 120mm mortars, twenty 84mm recoilless guns, ten 12.7 heavy machine guns, and sixteen 60mm mortars.

"Can they beat it?"

The battalion commander was a little worried.

Because this time, they have no way to directly participate in the war, and the people on the other side have to solve it themselves. After all, it is not the time to be in their own home before, so they have to pay attention to the international influence.

"no problem."

The tone of the staff officer is very affirmative:

"According to intelligence, the nearest unit is a mule-horse infantry battalion. Although it is equipped with four M3 tanks and two M1-type 75 field guns, there are almost no heavy weapons."

"Even the mortars are only four American-made 60s."

"And the troops have not experienced actual combat. They are second-line troops that have just been formed."

"Most of Gove's self-defense forces have undergone regular military training, and many of them are veterans who participated in the Songhu War. There is no problem in defeating this group of old, weak, sick and disabled."

"M3 tank."

The battalion commander laughed.

This kind of tank is available at the Zhaojiayu Weapons Training Ground. It is very comfortable, but on the battlefield, especially now that individual anti-tank weapons are popular, it is completely an iron coffin.

Seven Brothers Coffin!
There is no wrong nickname.

An overly tall body is very easy to be shot, and its shooting range is extremely poor. Multiple turrets are a complete joke, and its armor is pitifully weak.

"The only problem is that destroyer nearby."

The staff officer said this with a serious expression:

"Goff is a port city with a depth of only fifteen kilometers. The whole city is within range of naval guns, and this is the only place nearby where transport planes can take off and land. We cannot intervene directly, so they must advance inland as soon as possible to occupy New airport."

"As for other places that can take off and land transport planes and have water sources suitable for stationing, the distance is more than 100 kilometers."

"More than 100 kilometers."

The battalion commander nodded.

This is hardly difficult.

As long as they take root and block the first wave of attacks, with the support of materials and equipment transported by their own side, they can call on the surrounding laborers to gather, and then assemble a good armed force.

A unit capable of fighting head-on against the Austrian Army.

Then, when Wang Gensheng and the others teach the Yankees a lesson and make the Americans calm down, the matter will be settled.

An hour later, the eight transport planes finished loading and flew south in the dark.

······
"what?!"

In the White House, Mr. President immediately received a request for help from Austria.

"Armed self-government in Gove?"

Mr. President didn't understand for a while.

"Goff is a small port in the northeast of Austria. It is mainly miners on the other side. Prime Minister Austria has mobilized army and navy destroyers to control the situation. It is expected that the two sides will fight in two days."

The secretary quickly added.

"Armed Autonomy!"

Mr. President instantly understood that this was a counterattack from the other side.

"Humph."

Mr. President sneered:
"Do you really think that in the Asia-Pacific region, no one can cure them? Do you really think that the United States can't draw its strength?"

"Notify Prime Minister Austria."

The president pondered for a moment, then looked at the secretary:

"The American fleet is gathering and will depart in half a month."

Going to the Asia-Pacific requires at least ten aircraft carriers. He directly mobilized twelve aircraft carriers, and the main force of the US Navy is in Europe, and it will take a long time to assemble.

"In addition, tell him that the United States is Austria's most solid ally, and we will firmly defend Austria's freedom and integrity."

Mr. President added.

Most of the Austrian army fought in Europe, serving as cannon fodder for the United States. In the previous Battle of Cherbourg, the death toll reached [-], which was one-fifteenth of the total force. It was quite good cannon fodder.

So very important.

However, Gove's armed self-government operation must have been planned for a long time on the other side. Since the main force of the Austrian army is not in the country, it may suffer in the early stage. Therefore, Mr. President must give Austria enough confidence.

"Yes."

The secretary went to carry it out immediately.

Then the president opened a document on his desk-"Construction of ten Midway-class large aircraft carriers, research and development of jet carrier-based fighters, and continued construction of Essex-class aircraft carriers"

After the last combat meeting, the bigwigs of the U.S. Navy deeply realized that although the U.S. Navy is the largest in the world in terms of quantity, it can even be said that it is much larger than the rest of the world combined, but its quality I'm afraid it's not as good as the other side.

After several consecutive technical meetings, the Austrian Navy was beaten to turkey in the Indian Ocean. In the end, this group of naval bosses found the key-the speed of the propeller aircraft was so slow that the enemy was given sufficient air defense time.

So the jets had to be pushed onboard as quickly as possible.

Therefore, this document was drafted as quickly as possible to promote new projects and the innovation of the US Navy's standing force.

When a new ship cannot be launched in a day or two, even if the design has been finalized, even if it is the United States with full firepower, it will take a long time, but the pressure on the other side is already not small. Even if you are not happy, you must continue to increase scale to maintain dominance.

When one ship is launched on the other side, the United States will launch three or even four ships, making up for quality with quantity.

After a moment of contemplation, Mr. President signed his name on the document.

"Let the Minister of Finance come over."

After that, Mr. President asked someone to call the Minister of Finance.

To be honest, Mr. President was a little flustered.

Radar project, missile project, new anti-aircraft gun project, jet carrier-based aircraft project, ten Essex-class aircraft carrier construction plans, and ten Midway Island-class aircraft carrier construction plans.

There are also new tanks, a massive facelift of jet fighters.

Can the United States still hold the money bag?
······
the other side.

Guam.

A group of people looked curiously at the entire row of twelve-wheel tractor transport vehicles on the flat ground, as well as the carriages loaded with missiles pulled behind the tractor vehicles.

missile!

They see a lot.

There are still many missile boats stationed in Guam, and land-based anti-ship missiles and anti-aircraft missiles are also deployed. However,

This is the first time everyone has seen such a large missile. The length is estimated to be 13 meters, and the diameter is estimated to be not small, perhaps close to one meter. It looks like a jet plane with shortened wings.

"This is really a big guy!"

A deputy head muttered to himself.

"Overlord anti-ship missile."

The officer from the logistics and technical center of the regiment introduced:
"Weighing 750 tons, land-based and sea-based launches, it can carry a one-ton high-explosive armor-piercing warhead. With high-altitude relay guidance, the maximum range exceeds [-] kilometers."

In order to make up for the lack of surface ships and give the Yankees a serious blow, Chief Li approached Boss Chen, and finally produced the guy in front of him—an heirloom improved from a master of violent aesthetics—

P500 Lava anti-ship missile.

Moreover, on the basis of the original, the size has increased by a circle, and the weight has doubled, which also leads to an increase in the range to 750 kilometers.

"hiss····"

As soon as the number came out, there was a series of gasping sounds.

A ton of warhead.

After a few rounds, the Yamato will have to cool down too.

750 km!

In other words, without launching an attack aircraft, can it directly attack a ship 750 kilometers away?
For a moment, the eyes of everyone looking at this missile have become extremely fiery-this completely makes up for the biggest defect of the current army.
