The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

"Boom boom boom~~"

The cannons roared.

The artillery company of the escort team launched artillery bombardment on the Australian mechanized infantry battalion that entered the target area.

The drones also attacked the Australian mechanized infantry battalion at the same time.

Over the years, Japanese immigrants have infiltrated the entire Australia like a sieve.

Japanese immigrants have always attached great importance to intelligence, and since they are wealthy, they have built a huge intelligence network.

As soon as the Australian troops moved, the Japanese immigrant escort team received the intelligence.

The Australian mechanized infantry battalion made a big fuss and had no intention of keeping a low profile.

The Japanese immigrant escort team chose to ambush here.

In order to completely wipe out this Australian mechanized infantry battalion, the Japanese immigrant guard team dispatched an equal-sized force.

Faced with the new tactics that the Japanese immigrant armed forces had been imitating and learning for many years, the Australian mechanized infantry battalion was stunned.

They didn't know when the Japanese immigrant armed forces were equipped with 155mm cannons!

In their perception, the Japanese immigrant armed forces were at most equipped with some heavy machine guns.

If there are some anti-tank guns and short-range air defense missiles, it will be terrible.

The Australian army attacked from all sides, but suffered heavy losses everywhere.

In just less than ten days, the Australian Army lost nearly 40,000 troops, which is close to one-third of the Australian Army.

Although the Australian military has continuously strengthened its military construction and increased military spending in recent years, the focus is on the navy and air force, because the biggest threat Australia faces is Lan Fang, and the navy and air force are the real main force.

As for the army, the total strength is only 120,000!

The reserve forces are only 80,000!
This is already a huge development for Australia.

At that time, the Australian Army had only 2.6 regular troops and a mere 1.6 reserve troops.

Even with such heavy losses, it was the Australian Air Force that provided timely support.

Otherwise, the loss will be even greater!
A large amount of land was occupied by the armed forces of Japanese immigrants. Many of the original Australian military barracks were occupied, and even the arsenals were occupied.

The Australian government was dumbfounded. In just half a month, it lost one-third of its territory and one-third of its army.

The Japanese immigrant armed forces used special operations methods and attacked military airports and naval bases. Now they have their own air force and navy.

What made the Australian government even more angry was that the Japanese immigrant armed forces claimed that they were opposing the current Australian dictatorship and wanted to establish a united democratic government.

The Australian government angrily questioned the Japanese government, but the Japanese righteously stated that this was Australia's internal affairs and had nothing to do with Japan, and that Japan would not interfere in Australia's internal affairs. They called on all forces within Australia to hold peaceful negotiations, to end the war as soon as possible and to restore peace.

Shameless!
It's so shameless!

Is this something a human can say?

If there were no Japan, would there be so many immigrants?
If there were no Japan, could this armed force be equipped with artillery, main battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and drones?

Faced with the Japanese government's rogue behavior, the Australian government was extremely angry and cursed loudly.

The changes in Australia suddenly became a focus of attention for the world's spectators, who were all stunned.

No one can believe that as a developed country and a member of Western civilization, the Australian government would actually send troops to suppress its own citizens. This is simply unimaginable in modern society.

What is even more unbelievable is that the Australian army was badly beaten, suffered heavy losses, and lost large tracts of land.

Looking at the Japanese government's statement and the Australian United Democratic Government's external statement, both say that this is Australia's internal affairs.

Well, damn it, everyone knows that this is a lie, but they still do it legally and in compliance with regulations.

Sydney, U.S. Command in Australia.

Commander Cameron was speechless!
He had no idea what kind of war the Australian army was fighting.

He could hardly imagine that the Australian military base would be so lax in its defenses that it would be taken down by a special operations raid.

"Commander, Thomas is asking us to fulfill our alliance and help the Australian army defeat the Japanese," said the chief of staff.

Cameron said in a deep voice: "Tell Thomas that this is Australia's internal affairs and it is not appropriate for us to interfere."

The US troops stationed in Australia are now in a very embarrassing situation. The US-Australia alliance makes the United States and Australia allies. The US-Australia alliance has lasted for decades, and over the past decade, the importance of the US-Australia alliance has become increasingly prominent.

After World War II, the United States built an alliance system in the Asia-Pacific region and implemented a containment strategy, which includes the US-Japan alliance, the US-South Korea alliance, the US-Australia alliance, the US-Philippines alliance, and the US-Thailand alliance. The US-Australia alliance is an important component of the alliance in the Asia-Pacific region.

Over the past three decades, as the U.S.-Thailand alliance and the U.S.-Philippines alliance have collapsed, the U.S.-Japan alliance, the U.S.-South Korea alliance, and the U.S.-Australia alliance have become increasingly important.

In order to maintain these three major alliances, the United States has stationed heavy troops.

Japan, South Korea, and Australia are also the three countries with the largest number of US troops stationed.

Australia is crucial to controlling the South Pacific and the shipping routes from Asia to South America, and its importance is becoming increasingly prominent. The status of the US-Australia military alliance in the US global strategy is constantly improving, and the military cooperation between the two sides is gradually upgrading, showing many new trends in strategic cooperation, tactical integration and logistical integration.

Moreover, the Australian government's position is very firm and it is firmly an ally of the United States.

But Cameron refused to send troops because this was not an attack by the Japanese army on the Australian army, but an internal affair of Australia.

It is also because of this that when the situation was not right, Cameron ordered US military bases to strengthen their vigilance, but did not order US troops stationed in Australia to send troops.

Besides, the US troops stationed in Australia are distributed in big cities such as Sydney, which are far away from the areas controlled by the Australian United Democratic Government, so it will not be so fast to send troops.

It's so embarrassing that both sides are one's allies.

According to what other countries said, the United States, as the big brother, can't even control its two younger brothers. How can it be the big brother?

Furthermore, the armed forces of the Australian United Democratic Government have now reached a huge number of 250,000.

It is hard to say whether the US troops stationed in Australia can win the war.

"Damn bastard, he brought this upon himself and now he wants us to clean up his mess, idiot!" Cameron became angrier the more he thought about it and couldn't help but curse.

You know, the Australian government formulated the "Operation Sun Shooting" without telling the United States.

After "Operation Sun Shoot" was exposed, Cameron personally called the Australian government and asked them to stop "Operation Sun Shoot", but the Australian government ignored him and insisted on carrying out it.

Now that it has gone wrong, the US military is being sent to Australia.

Australia is special, and Cameron, who spent four years there, is well aware of that.

Australia is a typical immigrant country. Even after clearing out the Nanyang refugees, the Australian population is only about 4000 million. The earliest aborigines of Australia account for less than 1% of the total population, and less than one-third of the population consider themselves Australian. Then there are those who claim to be English, 25% who claim to be Irish, and 6% who claim to be Scottish.
As for the Chinese in Australia, there are 200 million of them! As a result, the Australian government launched the "Shoot the Sun Operation" and triggered internal conflicts.

Liu Tao looked at the news report and shook his head.

The world really is a huge makeshift team.

Australia had a good hand, but it played it badly.

Of course, Liu Tao had to admire the Japanese, who were quite capable in this regard and were indeed good at learning.

The Australian government has repeatedly called on the United States to implement the US-Australia alliance, but the United States has not yet given an official response.

The current US government is not keen on fighting wars, but is keen on withdrawing from groups.

In January, the US government announced its withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), shocking countries including Japan, South Korea, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

Now, there are rumors that the United States will withdraw from the Paris Agreement, arguing that the agreement benefits other countries and puts the United States at a disadvantage.

In addition, there are rumors that the United States will withdraw from UNESCO, the Global Compact for Migration, and intends to abandon the Iran Nuclear Agreement!

It can be said that what they did stunned the whole world.

The current US government has made the eight years of work of the previous government go to waste in a short period of time, and it also often criticizes its predecessor.

It's like a woman who calls her ex a scumbag every day, denies everything about her ex, and accuses her ex of all the harm she has caused.

Liu Tao was curious whether the other party would follow the same method again.

You have to know that now, the world situation is completely different.

Now there have been some changes in what the other party is doing.

For example, in terms of military spending, this government emphasizes that it will further cut military spending and reduce it to less than 4000 billion US dollars. The reason is that the incompetence and corruption of the previous government caused the total US national debt to reach 23 trillion, an increase of more than ten trillion US dollars in eight years. In just eight years, one person has exceeded the national debt caused by all previous presidents in US history.

The other side even publicly declared that if the United States does not cut military spending and reduce expenditures, it is very likely to go bankrupt like a highly indebted company.

I have to say that people who have been businessmen are different.

This government even has to sell its interests in North Africa to repay part of the US debt.

During dinner, Liu Tao drank some wine, which was rare for him.

"Study hard and work hard in your new job," Liu Tao encouraged Liu Jingming.

Liu Jingming will soon be transferred to the State General Administration of Sport and join the Party Committee.

In a few years, whether it is a transfer to a state-owned enterprise or to other ministries or local governments, it will be a natural thing.

At the General Administration of Sport of China, Liu Jingming will be in charge of mass sports, competitive sports, youth sports, science and technology education, and anti-doping; he will be responsible for the application and preparation of domestic comprehensive sports games; he will coordinate with the organizing committees of relevant domestic comprehensive sports games such as the National Games, the National Games for the National People's Games, the Games for the Disabled, and the Student (Youth) Games; he will be responsible for the team formation and participation in international comprehensive sports games; he will be responsible for the training and participation in summer events of sports other than football, as well as the preparation of domestic competitions, etc.

"Dad, I won't embarrass you!" Liu Jingming said solemnly.

After retiring, he was actually a little uncomfortable.

After all, he was a professional athlete before, and all he had to do was play well.

After retirement, the goal is to transform from an athlete into a manager.

After a few months of adaptation, Liu Jingming finally felt more confident.

Liu Tao corrected him: "It's not that you don't want to embarrass me, but you must not forget your original intention and keep your mission in mind!"

As a sports powerhouse, sports are also an important part of the country.

'Develop sports and enhance people's physique', this is very important!
"Dad, about Nini." Liu Jingming talked about his younger sister.

Liu Tao waved his hand: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. She has grown up and has her own ideas and choices. We don't need to interfere too much."

This is also what Liu Tao has always advocated.

Allow children to have the power to make their own choices.

Instead of having no choice like before!
When Liu Jingming heard Liu Tao say this, he stopped talking.

Feng Nan said, "Maybe in a year, my little sister will be more mature and figure it out."

In recent years, Feng Nan has mainly been working on charitable foundations.

I have quite a lot of experience working in charity.

At this time, the 'Australian Storm' special was being broadcast live on TV.

Ever since Australia's "Operation Sun Shooting" was exposed, CCTV immediately launched this special report.

Military experts, international relations researchers, famous journalists and others were invited to be present on the show.

Chen Weiying was analyzing at this time. As the youngest daughter of Liu Honglei and Chen Weimin, Chen Weiying studied at Southwest Associated University, majoring in international relations and obtaining a doctorate degree. Now she is the vice dean of the School of International Relations, Faculty of Social Sciences, Southwest Associated University, a professor and doctoral supervisor in the Department of International Politics, and a member of the National Think Tank.

Chen Weiying was analyzing the possible impact of the situation in Australia and whether the US troops stationed in Australia would send troops.

This kind of analysis is based on existing information and is only a possibility, it may not actually happen.

After all, prediction is a kind of metaphysics, full of too many unknowns.

The most popular topic in the world right now, apart from the changes in American politics, is what is happening in Australia.

As for China's manned lunar landing and the construction of the Guanghan Palace scientific research base, they had to give up the news attention.

This is how modern society is. It is difficult for a piece of news to maintain its popularity for too long, and people will easily become tired of it.

"I heard that the United States is trying to mediate between the two sides and conduct political negotiations." Liu Jingming said, "Dad, do you think the American mediation will succeed?"

Liu Tao smiled and said, "It's not that easy to mediate. Once the conflict intensifies, it won't be easy to calm it down. And don't forget, what you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get at the negotiation table either."

"The United States can only mobilize a limited number of troops now!" Liu Tao shook his head. "Besides, even if we suppress it, Australia is no longer the same Australia!"

The Australian United Democratic Government now controls one-third of Australia, and its military strength is constantly increasing. Its military power is not weaker than that of the Australian Army. If only the army is considered, it is even stronger than the Australian Army.

Under such circumstances, how could the Australian United Democratic Government surrender?

Moreover, this incident will cause a chain reaction.

Everyone has overlooked that Huaao is low-key, but it has a population of 200 million and occupies an area of ​​25 square kilometers. Huaao joined the United Democratic Republic of Australia, but it is very independent and its armed forces are also independent! (End of this chapter)
