reborn super empire

Fighting against a country like Australia is simply a piece of cake for the Chinese Empire. Although Australia has been independent for decades, its army is not large, and most of them are only stationed in places with large populations.

In other places, some troops were sent as a symbol, while others were lazy to garrison troops. The unique geographical location made them do not know what aggression was.

In fact, this is exactly the case. There was indeed a war in Australia in history, but it has not happened so far, and the so-called war was nothing more than Japan's small-scale attack on Australia, followed by Kicked out of Australia by the U.S. Army.

Needless to say in the future, the US military regards Australia as their back garden. Many troops sent to South Asia first go to Australia for rest and reorganization, and then put them on the battlefield, or place the troops withdrawn from the battlefield. Australia takes a break.

In short, Australia has not enjoyed the taste of war so far. In addition, the military industry is backward, and the troops simply cannot produce any decent equipment. Therefore, when the Chinese Empire attacked, it did not encounter any decent resistance.

Australia is a huge country with the sixth largest territory in the world. Its resistance is not as strong as that of the Philippines. Especially on the first night of the attack, when the Imperial Chinese Army surrounded it, many soldiers hadn’t reacted yet. what's going on.

When the policemen went to work the next day, they found out that the police station had already been occupied, and these policemen who went to work could be regarded as self-inflicted traps, and they were strictly controlled as soon as they appeared.

Located 238 kilometers south of Sydney.Canberra, 507 kilometers north of Melbourne, has been the capital of Australia for more than a decade. In 1911, the Australian federal government passed a resolution to move the capital here, and in 1912 began to collect planning opinions. In 1913, among more than 100 proposals, the present one was selected, which is the proposal of the famous American landscape designer and Chicago native Walter Burry Griffin.

But after the pause of the First World War, the capital went through 14 years of construction, and was finally completed in 1927, and the capital was moved here.

Although Australia has become independent, its relationship with the United Kingdom is still very close, which is a bit like the one country, two systems in later generations.Australia and the United Kingdom share a common supreme leader, the British monarch.

And the British monarch appoints the prime minister, and the prime minister nominates the governor-general. However, since the British established the Australian Autonomous Territory in 1930, as long as the prime minister is submitted, the British monarch will basically approve it directly.

This time, the Prime Minister of Australia is Menzies, and the Governor-General is Alexander Gore Hall-Ruthven. The Prime Minister is generally resident in the capital, Canberra, and the Governor-General has two official residences.One is the Governor's Mansion in Canberra and the other is the Admiralty's Mansion in Sydney.

At this time, after the Imperial Chinese Army landed, according to the previously learned information, a group of soldiers headed directly for the Navy Admiral's Mansion on the north shore of Sydney Harbour.Unfortunately.There are only a few British soldiers stationed here, and the governor is not among them.

At the same time, the Marine Corps has landed from the two seaport cities of Milton and Batemans Bay.And headed for Canberra, the capital of Australia, at full speed.

This is a surprise attack, and the fight is by surprise.At the beginning, they didn't need to occupy too many places. If they could control Sydney and Melbourne, Australia's largest cities, overnight.Then if the capital Canberra is under control, the impact will definitely be huge.

Milton is about 80 kilometers away from Canberra, while Batemans Bay is only about [-] kilometers away from Canberra. If the Marine Corps, which is lightly packed, rushes with all its strength, it will be no problem to reach Canberra before dawn.

"Regimental Commander, Canberra has at least one regiment of guard troops. If we attack by force, the big fish may escape. At present, our strength is not enough to encircle Canberra."

After hearing the situation ahead, the chief of staff of the [-]th Regiment of the First Marine Division frowned and said.

Their mission is to take down Canberra and control everyone in the governor's and prime minister's mansions, because they don't know in advance whether there are big fish in these two mansions, or even the whereabouts of these two theoretical supreme leaders do not know either.

"It's impossible to guarantee that no one can escape by pulling our entire First Marine Division here."

The head of the regiment, Song Qian, took the battle map from the guard, glanced at it roughly, and said.

Due to the lack of preparation before the attack, the troops of the Chinese Empire do not yet have a complete map of Australia in their hands, and they don't know where the map in their hands came from. It only roughly draws the location and name of each city. , there is still a general scope, and there is nothing specific.

No matter who is in charge of the army, there is no guarantee that a city can be besieged to death, and it is such a city that does not know anything about it. Although the scale is small, it is full of unknowns.

"Where is the [-]th regiment?"

Immediately afterwards, Song Qian continued to ask.

"They estimate that there are still ten kilometers to go. There are many mountain roads over there, so it is not very convenient to walk."

The chief of staff said directly that when they stopped just now, he went to contact the [-]th Regiment, so he was very clear about the approximate location of the [-]th Regiment.

Although the [-]th Regiment landed from Batemans Bay, the distance is about [-] kilometers shorter than theirs, but there are too many mountain roads. They will spend some time on the road, and the [-] regiment with a long journey, because only the mountain roads are difficult to walk when they first landed, but there is a flat river behind, and there are no difficult mountain roads to walk.

"It takes at least an hour for ten kilometers, or even more. It will be bright in an hour, and I can't wait. In this way, first send a company to sneak in, guard the governor's mansion and the prime minister's mansion, and don't let anyone come out. There is If there is anything abnormal, don’t worry about it, just attack directly.”

Song Qian looked at his watch.It's almost five o'clock now, and the sky here is getting brighter earlier.If action is not taken in time, God knows what accidents will happen.

If you don't care about it and just need to take down this city, a battalion of marines is enough, but now they need to catch two big guys, so the above will send two regiments to take down this small city. Land, Song Qian was well aware of the importance of the task, so he didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.

Liang Shuicheng and his company were ordered to sneak into the city of Canberra quietly. Fortunately, the city is not too big.Otherwise, for them who don't have any information, they will get lost sooner or later.

Even so, after entering the city for half an hour, after being almost spotted by the enemy, they finally found the Governor's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, and divided a company into two groups of troops, and surrounded the two mansions tightly.

Big Yu, who was supposed to be still asleep, didn't seem to be sleeping at the moment, and one of the mansions was completely dark.The other mansion was brightly lit, and there were many figures walking back and forth inside, as if there was an emergency.

"My lord, the Prime Minister. Something is wrong. Someone reported just now that they found a group of unidentified soldiers in Queanbeyan an hour ago. They are heading towards Canberra."

An officer walked up to the two big men with a telegram with a panicked expression, and reported in disbelief.

"What? Go ask what's going on?"

Prime Minister Menzies put down his cigar.He asked with a frown.

The governor on the side also trembled suddenly, unable to understand the reason of the matter.It was around nine o'clock last night.They received the news that an unknown army had attacked Sydney, and the governor went directly to the prime minister's office to discuss it. As a result, the two discussed it all night but failed to come up with a reason.

The reply from the UK also disappointed them. The UK is in a critical period at this time and has no extra troops to help Australia, and the UK also hopes that they can mobilize the native Australian residents to resist the invaders.

After receiving this telegram, the two people's faces were as silent as death.They also know something about the situation in the UK. The British Army must not move, because the Germans may attack at any time.The powerful British navy also needs to be on alert at all times to prevent the Germans from landing.

In this way, Australia's Asian fleet should have been patrolling frequently, and some of the main warships have also been transferred back, leaving only a group of old warships. The most painful thing is that these warships are currently resupplying in India and will be there Stay for half a month, and then take a detour to Australia.

At present, the defense force in the whole of Australia is even less, and there is only a large territory of the British Army, which is only one division of the British Army. It is still scattered in various regions, and the police stations are in charge of security in many places. , it is simply not enough for war.

The recruitment of local soldiers seems to always be the biggest headache for the Australian government. It is necessary to maintain economic growth and ensure the security of the homeland. The aboriginals and those foreigners are not at ease, which has resulted in a small number of troops.

In the 21st century, Australia's economy is already considered a developed region, but Australia has only 5.5 people in the armed forces of the sea, land and air forces, and even released posters for overseas recruitment. The benefit is to provide fast access to naturalization.

This shows the extent of Australia's military shortage. Of course, this also has some other influences. According to Australia's population base, it is impossible for an army of only 5.5 people to be so shivering.But anyway, it's true that many people don't want to join the military.

"Master Prime Minister, the news has been confirmed. Just now another resident found a large number of unidentified soldiers passing by while going to the toilet. The destination is Canberra."

The officer who had just left turned around and walked in again, but this time his expression was a little flustered.

"Oh, it seems that this place is not safe anymore, Lu Siwen, I think we need to chat in another place."

Menzies felt a sudden movement in his heart, but there was nothing unusual on the surface.

As the supreme leader of Australia, if he panicked at this time, what should he do next?So Menzies had to force himself to pretend to be calm, and invited Lu Siwen to change places with him as if nothing had happened.

"Well, I think we can go to my manor to relax. It's remote and not easy to be disturbed. I think it will be very suitable for us."

How did Lu Siwen not know what Menzies meant?They hurriedly found a place for him, and at the same time concealed the embarrassment of their evacuation, and they could declare to the public that the two of them were not in Canberra at the time of the incident, so that the outside public opinion would not point to them.

"Company commander, the people inside seem to be running away."

"Sniper, kill the soldiers at the door and beat them back." (To be continued...)
