Chapter 494 Western Australia Battlefield Although everyone had expected the demise of New Zealand, they didn't expect it to come so quickly, and it only took a week
Although the demise of New Zealand was expected, it was not expected to come so quickly, and it only took a week for a country to be wiped out by a private territory with only half the population.
Although it was expected, it still made it a little difficult for countries to accept it for a while, and even some small countries had a feeling of sadness for the death of rabbits and foxes. After all, New Zealand's national strength is still ranked first in the world, but such a country, it only took an aircraft carrier formation a week to kill it in private territory, so what about itself?
However, most of the countries that really care about this war know that a week is indeed the first aircraft carrier formation deliberately extending the time, and if they attack with all their might, I am afraid that they will be able to complete the offensive mission in two or three days at most.
In their opinion, the first aircraft carrier group on the battlefield in New Zealand is more about training and grinding itself, and perhaps in their opinion, it is more appropriate to say that this is not so much a war as an actual combat exercise.
Because the New Zealand and Australia coalition forces were passively beaten throughout the whole process, it was not that they did not take the initiative to attack, but that the New Zealand and Australia coalition forces knew that even if they attacked, they would only be eliminated, so the decision they made was to defend as best they could.
It is a pity that the equipment they have spent a huge amount of money to procure, either explicitly or covertly, is still not enough in front of the First Aircraft Carrier Formation, the most advanced aircraft carrier fleet in the world.
In particular, the air defense system in the North Island did not survive a single night, and it is important to know that more than 800 air defense missiles were deployed in the North Island alone, and the "Jimag-25" artillery and shell integration system exceeded 150, and the total number of fighters of all kinds was even more than 100. But these things together did not survive the dawn, and not even a single enemy plane was brought down.
This also gave countries a new understanding of Ji Feng's two major aircraft carrier formations, after all, they were different from the Indian battlefield. The New Zealand battlefield is relatively close to a complete modern national defense, and all the three major branches of the navy, land, and air force have it, but in the face of the first aircraft carrier formation, the three major armies do not even have the opportunity to go to sea to annihilate the enemy.
Immediately after the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Administration also announced new administrative plans and personnel appointments for the occupied New Zealand region, the Southern New Province, which is dominated by the South Island and its affiliated islands, and the province is divided into six districts: Marlborough, Tasman, Canterbury, Otago, and South. The provincial capital of Christchurch, the governor of Frank? Pierce, Vice Governor Chen Yonghao.
The mayor of Dunedin, who was the first to hang the white flag, was politically reviewed by the Ministry of Government Affairs and the Ministry of Human Resources. In the end, he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, but even if he was promoted to vice governor, he still inevitably had a five-year observation period, if there were no problems during his tenure. This will result in the issuance of an official Islander ID card.
The northern new province is dominated by the North Island and its affiliated islands. Divided into nine districts, Wellington, Manawatu-Wanganui, Taranaki, Hawke's Bay, Waikato, Gisberni, Prenty Bay, Hockland and the North, the provincial capital is located in Auckland, where the damage is not severe. Pelzel.
The former deputy mayor of Auckland, after announcing the policy for New Zealand last year, he was one of the first to go to private territory to register, and has been in the Ministry of Administration for nearly half a year, whether it is political assessment or ability is completely fine, so the Ministry of Administration appointed him as the governor of the northern new province.
Although there are other civil servants coming to private territory from New Zealand. There are even several former positions higher than him, but they are under the joint assessment of the Ministry of Human Resources and the Ministry of Government Affairs. Still think he's the most suitable.
As for the many islands in the Pacific Ocean belonging to New Zealand, they are naturally all taken over by private territories, and if anyone dares to grab them at this time, the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ministry of Defense is not an ornament, and it will face the attack of this fleet at any time.
In addition to the removal of the remaining guns, the two provinces will also screen the millions of people who have been occupied in the north and south islands, which is clearly different from the islanders who have taken refuge in private territory and other provinces.
These people have no obvious sense of hostility, and after swearing allegiance to the constitution at the same time, they will be given a red islander card, as long as there are no problems during the next five years observation period, they will be eligible to enjoy half of the treatment of official islanders, and when the Ministry of Government Affairs, the Ministry of Human Resources, and the Ministry of Defense jointly submitted it to Ji Feng, Ji Feng finally made a slight amendment.
Half of the benefits after five years have been changed to 10 years later, they will enjoy the same treatment as official islanders. Similarly, when the assets were recovered after five years, the limited amount was also increased to 2 million dollars.
In fact, even if it is 2 million yuan, like some ranches and farms, they don't want to get it back, because it is already seriously exceeded, and what they can really get back is their former residence or micro ranch, farm or physical enterprise, and it has to be said that within these five years, their operation will not have problems and lead to bankruptcy.
At the same time, in the Indian Ocean in western Australia, on the two submarines Thundershark and Silver Shark hidden on the bottom of the sea, Colonel Andre and Colonel Yan Junji excitedly reported their discoveries to the fleet commander as soon as they heard the sonar's report.
In fact, even if they didn't report it, the Sabah aircraft carrier had already discovered several submarines 52 nautical miles in front of their fleet, after all, behind the four submarines, there were dozens of huge formations that gathered almost all of Australia's combat ships, but this time they learned a little smarter, not all of them were crowded together, but relatively scattered, obviously worried that they would be wiped out all at once like the combined fleet of the New Australian Navy.
Moreover, this time, the commander of the Australian side seemed to know that it would be impossible for the fleet alone to block the attack of the second aircraft carrier group, so he chose to engage it in the coastal range. In this way, land-based air forces can provide the air support they most want.
It's just that the opponent they met this time was the front-line commander who knew Australia quite well, Deputy Minister of Defense Karl? Morros, who had worked closely with the Royal Australian Navy on overseas battlefields, but was only a cost-effective man, is now about to become a fratricidal enemy.
Although the Jeju aircraft carrier, or any other surface ship, is capable of attacking submarines, he still wants to compare the specific detection status of each ship. After all, nearly a hundred nautical miles in front of him, there is a huge fleet waiting for him.
After hearing the reports one by one, the distance between the two sides has been close to 49 nautical miles, the other party's submarine is indeed slow, but it can't stop the speed of the second aircraft carrier formation, even if you have to take care of the underwater Sea Shark class submarine, the current speed is still as high as 25 knots, which is not any problem at all for the Sea Shark class nuclear-powered submarine with a maximum surface speed of 50 knots, a maximum underwater speed of 35 knots, and a maximum depth of 1,200 meters.
"The fighter group left two squadrons as support, and the rest all took off, and the target led out the opposing air force for annihilation, and the Jeju helicopter group took off for anti-submarine, and all ships were ready for combat, and the targets have been assigned to ships at all levels, and we insist on catching those who can be captured alive, especially their 'Canberra' class amphibious assault ships, which are very suitable for our future sea patrol." Cal? Moros's eyes flashed, and his face was calm and he gave the order with a decisive killing.
The "Canberra" class amphibious assault ship is the strongest warship in service in Australia, and although it was only in a hurry that the third one was put into service a year ago, the three "Tarbera" class ships have at most strengthened the Australian Navy.
Although the Collins-class submarine is Australia's newest submarine and has not been in service for too long, it is still a diesel-electric submarine after all, even if it is infinitely close to a nuclear-powered submarine, it is still not comparable to a nuclear-powered submarine.
With the entry of the 21st century, the United States army has gone to sea to fight several times, and almost every time there is a figure of the Australian army, it can be seen that this is a country that firmly supports the rice army and looks to the United States.
Moreover, the Australian side is also aware of the gap between its own equipment and the equipment of the Mi army on these battlefields, so it has invested huge financial, material and human resources to improve the level of its modern equipment.
It is not a little bit to say that the Australian Navy is indeed more advanced and powerful than New Zealand, but that is all. In the face of a more powerful second aircraft carrier group, New Zealand's naval equipment although it got Karl? Moros attaches great importance to it, but it is just like the normal importance of the opponent, and he still knows quite well about the military strength of this ally of the United States.
Australia has a total of six Collins-class submarines, in fact, even if they are not discovered by the fleet's sonar, in the command room of the Jeju, reconnaissance from military satellites has already determined their position, and even the other two ships that are quietly approaching the first aircraft carrier formation in Eastern Australia have not been able to hide from the Ministry of Defense.
Four submarines are nothing more than bait, whether it is Karl? Both Moros and the Australian Navy know that this is a kind of temptation on both sides.
The Australian military wants to use the four submarines to test the combat strategy of the second aircraft carrier group, or the commander's command style, in order to deal with the possible stormy attack that may follow.
Cal? Moros's appetite is obviously greater than they think, even if they have dozens of combat ships of all kinds, but with the first aircraft carrier formation in front of Zhuyu of the Singapore-Australia Combined Fleet at one time, as the deputy minister of defense, it is naturally impossible for him to disgrace the second aircraft carrier.
He not only wants to swallow four Collins-class submarines, but at the same time he also has to directly kill most of Australia's air force and navy at one time, of course, he is different from Gao Jinxian's annihilation, he wants to capture more, the air force may be more difficult, but the navy's ships, his excitement is still relatively large, after all, the Australian military's equipment has only been replaced for a long time, even if it is not sold after being captured, it can be kept for his own use in the future.
