1825 My New Daming

Chapter 476 She Will Lose Everything and Hugh Goff's Laughter
On the morning of January 1833, 1, Sydney Cove.

For the white skins here, this morning is an unforgettable moment in their lives!
Because this morning doesn't start with a steaming cup of milk, it starts with a blaring air raid siren!

Most of the exiles who are still in Sydney Cove are elderly or female exiles.Although according to Admiral Hugh Goff's order, every white Australian is obliged to take up arms and fight to the end in order to defend their exile and the interests of the British Empire, but there is always a sequence of mobilization.

According to the general's order, the priority mobilization is the violent criminals such as robbers, murderers, arsonists, kidnappers, etc. who are young and strong (no more than 60 years old, no missing arms or legs, or terminally ill).These violent criminals often have a relatively high team spirit - they are all gangsters!Being used to committing crimes in gangs, it is naturally easier to be organized to participate in battles.

The second wave of mobilization is relatively mild and civilized criminals under the age of 60, and their physical condition permits, such as fraudsters, thieves and so on.

The third wave is men aged 15-60 in the "second generation" who are in good physical condition. Some male exiles married female exiles in Australia and had offspring, and some female exiles were in exile The crew who were escorted to them on the way raped or raped them and had offspring.For these female exiles, all kinds of things are almost inevitable!Because the British government, which believed in the market, contracted out the business of escorting exiles to businessmen, how could ordinary businessmen dare to do this?No amount of pounds!So generally slave traders and part-time pirates are responsible for such transactions.
Now that the first three waves of exiles have been mobilized, they are either on the battlefield, or in hell, or stationed somewhere.Those men over the age of 60 or those under the age of 15 who can take up arms, and all women over the age of 15 who can take up arms, all belong to the fourth wave.They would take up arms and go to war when their cities or settlements were attacked by the enemy.Old people, women and children in Brisbane have gone to war or become corpses waiting to rot, while those in other places are being trained to fight in defense of the British Empire. .

Angelina from London is one of the female exiles who are being trained. She is only 16 years old this year, at an average age, but she is already a criminal exile.Her most appalling crime was to help the Bank of England issue sterling!Born in Ireland, she went to London as a child laborer when she was 12 years old. Because of the economic crisis and suffering from hunger and cold, she was forced to join an Irish "charity organization" that helped the Bank of England issue sterling, and was responsible for "bulk cargo".As a result, he was caught by the police detectives of Scotland Yard before he had enough food for a few days, and was sentenced to hang by the British court, which has always been known for its impartiality and independence.However, it was not really hanged on the gallows, but loaded on a ship to Australia.

But to her complete surprise, Angelina, who could barely support herself in London, the richest and most prosperous place in the British Empire, actually lived a life of eating all-you-can-eat beef and drinking milk until she vomited after she arrived in the wild land of Australia. A happy life. And the vastness and richness of Australia are far beyond the imagination of her small island people.

What made her even more unimaginable was that the British Empire, which had the two giant colonies of Australia and Canada, could obviously bring back enough food from the colonies to feed 2000 million islanders, but why were there so many people suffering from hunger and cold in Ireland and London? people?Why didn't those who ruled the British Empire, who had the ability to feed everyone, choose not to do so?
Why is that?
Angelina, who had just finished her night shift and dismissed a wealthy naval lieutenant commander from England, was lying on the bed counting pounds and thinking about this complicated economic issue when the air defense siren that changed the trajectory of her life Already ringing.

The harsh and annoying siren came into Angelina's bedroom. She hurriedly got up from the bed, put on her underwear in a hurry, and was about to heat herself a pot of milk when the explosion sound that she would never forget came from It's coming from outside.

She didn't care about the hot milk, just grabbed two slices of bread and rushed out of her own big house (this is what she earned from hard work every night), standing in the weed-filled yard, looking at Jackson in the east. In the smoke and fireballs rising from Hong Kong, a pretty and tender face was covered with indescribable expressions of horror. It was only at this time that Angelina realized for the first time that she might lose her life again. Everything, including freedom, even life!

"Hahaha"

Hearty laughter came out of the large white tent. It was the laughter of General Hugh Gough, the commander of the Australian Army Corps, who was enjoying a hearty breakfast.

And what made the Commander laugh heartily was the urgent telegram he had just received from Sydney—Sydney was being bombed!Moreover, dozens of square miles of Ming warships appeared in the sea off Sydney Bay!

Obviously, the Ming army adopted the strategy of attacking the north and attacking the south. Their onslaught on the Brisbane area was actually a feint. The purpose was to attract the main force of the British army in Sydney to go north, and then use their sea power advantage to quickly Mobilize the fleet to head south to Sydney, which is empty of troops.

Now Sydney is the absolute central area of ​​Australia, while Brisbane is the second key area after Sydney.Once Sydney and Brisbane were occupied, only guerrilla warfare and law and order warfare remained in the battle of Australia. Although the British army with a large number of horses can still persist in the vast Australian interior for a long time.But without the arms and reinforcements imported from outside, sooner or later the British Australian army will be turned into a nomadic tribe!
So the British generals who were having breakfast with Hugh Goff all looked at their commander-in-chief with puzzled faces-what does this mean?Crazy?
Seeing the puzzled eyes of the big guy, Hugh Goff finally put away his laughter, then stroked his beard that he had grown for several years, with a wicked smile on his white face: "Those generals in China like to use the so-called tricks to Showing my extraordinary wisdom, I believe that you have read their military art when you were in the military academy!"

Chinese Art of War, including "Five Classics and Seven Books", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "New Book of Ji Xiao" and "Selected Works of King Wuzhong", are all must-read books in Western military schools, even Napoleon was familiar with them, and even The Art of War by Napoleon, Wellington and Clausewitz.

Therefore, a group of British military officers, including Hugh Goff, are still very familiar with the tactics used by the Chinese.

Because of his familiarity, Hugh Gough did not go out with all his strength, but left as many as 9 divisions in the Sydney fortress area with nearly 10 defenders-this still does not include the naval fortress garrison and the Sydney militia. With them, Sydney's defenders can exceed 20!
And this is 20 who are determined to fight to the end!
Because the white skins in Australia know who they are, they are the villains who exterminated the Southern Continent of the Ming Dynasty, and they are all villains, and they are exiled criminals, so they will be exterminated after the Ming Dynasty lands!

Hugh Gough said: "Even if they have a fleet of 1000 square miles, they still have to send infantry to land and occupy Sydney inch by inch. This is not a problem that can be solved in a week or two, but a hard battle of several months. And when their main force went south, there must have been only a small number of troops here in Brisbane. In fact, they have not captured the Brisbane Fortress for so long, and they are still deploying defenses on Tabletop Hill, which shows that they do not have enough troops. .This is our chance!

Now, we must show the greatest determination to break the Ming army's defense line on Table Top Mountain, and quickly drive the Ming army in the direction of Brisbane to the Pacific Ocean! "
