Chapter 165: The Battle for Australia
If the Bunitalia Empire can see the strategic value of Area 11, how can Kailar not see the strategic value of Australia?
Just as the Bunitaria Empire is in full swing preparing to recapture Area 11, this side is also in full swing preparing to capture Australia.
Australia has the best open-pit iron ore in the world, and the sulfur content is almost equal to none, which is really the envy and jealousy of China, which occupies half of the iron ore and coal mines.
That is, now that they have entered a civilized society, otherwise in a few years, Australians will not be killed by the people of the Chinese Federation.
The Australians and the Bunitarian Empire are of the same caucasian origin, so they don't have much resistance to the rule of the Bunitarian Empire, and if they are not too far away from the native of the Bunitarian Empire, they can even claim to be from the Bunitarian Empire.
For such a country that wholeheartedly threw itself into the Bunitarian Empire. If you want to take it and succeed in appeasing it, I'm afraid there is something else going on.
However, this did not hinder Kellal's determination to win Australia. After taking Australia, the Bunitarian Empire no longer had any bridgehead in Asia. At that time, if the Bunitarian Empire wants to compete with the Chinese Federation in Asia, it will have to fight on the Pacific Ocean.
At that time, in the era of artillery giants, the Bunitaria Empire was about to face, and the EU had begun to develop and produce aircraft carriers.
In fact, it is not realistic to start developing an aircraft carrier from scratch now, but if it is nothing more than a modification. This kind of thing is very feasible.
For example, during World War II, the United States had a history of using cargo ships to pave the deck and then convert them into aircraft carriers.
Although the current warship conversion aircraft carrier does not meet the technical requirements of Kailar. But being able to take off and land the most basic P51 is already a hard requirement to complete the aircraft carrier.
Aircraft have only just started so far, and it would be naïve to want the Bunitaria Empire to understand the power of aircraft carriers.
That is, the production of aircraft carriers is not high yet, and it is still improving while producing.
Otherwise, they would have sailed from the Atlantic to the mainland of the Bunitalia Empire. Bombarded the real industrial rust belt of the Bunitalia Empire.
If the Hercules bomber is beyond the reach of the Bunitaria Empire, it can only reach the east coast. Then Australia is like a back garden for Hercules, you can come and go if you want.
This time there will be more than 800 Hercules. As mentioned earlier, the production of the Chinese Federation is sufficient, because only 800 Hercules transport aircraft have been converted into ground-to-ground bombers.
Most of the other Hercules transports are vacant.
After going through the last time. After the night attack on the Bunitarian Empire. Those who are old drivers and new drivers can successfully become the next generation of drivers. Then proceed to bring the new driver.
In other words, a total of 1,600 aircraft were on the mission this time.
And these 1,600 planes are loaded with 1,000 White Tigers.
Their mission this time was to land in Sydney. After capturing Sydney, in the form of squads, they spread out in all directions to seize the cities along the coast of Australia.
Originally, there was no way to accommodate the White Tiger in the belly of Hercules' cabin, but in addition to the position of the nose of these modified Hercules, the entire abdomen has been hollowed out, and only the slot of the White Tiger can be stuck.
They have no problem transporting white tigers in terms of weight at all. So it only needs to be slightly modified, and it is a perfect transport aircraft.
This kind of combat method, when the Bunitaria Empire invaded the 11th District, it used this kind of landing operation against the people of the 11th District, and the people of the 11th District did not have any reaction at all, and they were instantly breached the defense line, and then the good infrastructure facilities on weekdays allowed the Knightmare of the Bunitalia Empire to drive straight in. Within a few days, the country was gone.
And this time, Australia can't escape the same fate as Zone 11. More than landing in Area 11, the White Tiger has more powerful performance than Glasgow back then.
Among the 1,600 transport planes, a thousand White Tigers will be transported. And then there is. 600 transport planes to transport a whole whole. 10,000 infantry.
10,000 infantry and 1,000 white tigers. Form a mixed formation, complete the formation after landing in Sydney, and then move in all directions
Of course, use local vehicles and driving tools. But what's so strange about that?
The goal of this operation was to completely capture Australia within seven days, and then move on to the next tactical step.
To put it simply, it is faster than Guderian's blitzkrieg.
It was to be destroyed on the east coast of the Bunitalia Empire, and the second prince and Cornelia were trapped in India. When the Bunitarian Empire had no time to take care of it, it bloomed on all sides, beating the Bunitarian Empire into a daze.
After severing the connection between the Bunitaria Empire and several colonies, and pushing the battlefield to the Pacific and Atlantic, the real bitter battle will be.
But now you can still rely on your own wits and stratagem to cut off the tentacles of the Bunitarian Empire, completely cut off the infusion tube of the Bunitarian Empire, and let the Bunitarian Empire be trapped in an isolated island called America.
That's all the wise men of Keral can do.
The 1,600 transport aircraft are almost all owned by the Chinese Federation. Hercules transport plane. And the drivers inside are almost all the drivers of the Chinese Federation. They come directly from. Zone 11 took off and flew towards Australia.
These transport planes do not only have one mission, they have to make 3 or 4 round-trips in a day. Between 4,000 and 40,000 White Tigers and infantry were dropped on the Australian mainland.
This is not excessive, but it is a severe test for these crew members, after all, they have not performed such a high-intensity mission, and it is also a very demanding test for the entire control tower and the people of the command system.
The slightest bit of chaos would have the entire battlefield in shambles, and although their communications system was the best on the planet, their command was anything but like that
After completing Operation Pearl Harbor, Kyle didn't make any comments about their chain of command and staff system, but let them start learning magic on their own, how to command the Airborne Corps and transport planes?
In any case, war always makes people grow up rapidly, whether it is these pilots, or these still immature commanders, or these chiefs of staff of the staff headquarters who are trying to adapt to the new mode of warfare, or they are studying hard to improve their generalissimo Li Xingke. In this world-class war, they are trying to improve themselves and try to keep up with Khalal.
As for the Bunitalia Empire, a very serious meeting was being held on the side of the Bunitalia Empire, where the emperor and the major nobles and officials were gathered to discuss the necessity of this war fiercely, and for those nobles, the war had been lost
