Chapter 58: Getting into Trouble
Iron Wing Eagle Raising Chapter 58 Trouble
Chapter 58 of the third season of Shenzhou Fei General caused trouble
The British and Australian forces on Irian Island, as predicted, were further compressed to the west of the island by the attacks of the large naval guns commanded by Hawkeye in the sky, while being attacked by the rapidly advancing tanks and hoplites on the ground and the German infantry.
When it comes to jungle warfare, Europeans cannot be compared with the yellow race, and both Chinese and Japanese can achieve unbelievable victories in the jungle in front of Europeans when they are equally powerful.
In particular, this was the First World War, and the defensive focus of the British and Australian armies, which did not understand jungle warfare at all, was undoubtedly roads and passes, and they often built fortress-like fortifications. Such a means of defense is nothing more than a piece of food on the table when faced with an attack by air fighters, sea artillery, or even just tanks.
Sure enough, when Port Moresby fell, the British army flooded ashore with tanks and armoured vehicles that would give them a headache at sight. Of course, the Australian army had purchased a lot of tanks and armored vehicles in the arsenal in Batavia, but many of those things were shipped to Europe, but there were not many of them on Irian Island, and at least the number of tanks in a tank regiment and a heavy infantry regiment of the Chinese Defense Forces could not be compared.
In addition, they frown every day whenever they see the sky clear. The ubiquitous airplanes in the sky, loaded with rockets attacking the top armor of tanks and armored vehicles, also caused them a headache. What even worries them is that these planes seem to be magical, and they often attack in a direction other than the direction of the 12.7mm on board.
Of particular concern were the naval guns, which were so accurate that they would mislead people to think that God was already on their side, and at any time they launched intensive bombardments at the assembly points of the British and Australian armies and all places where preparations for battle were being made.
A one-ton naval artillery shell can cause all people or equipment within 200 meters to lose their combat capability, and often make the army soldiers who are already afraid of the opponent's attack go crazy. The morale of the British and Australian forces, which had already been low due to the lack of supplies, quickly collapsed under this continuous attack.
And the ground was what worried them, and the attacks from two sides worried the commanders of the British and Australian forces even more. Especially now, the German army does not know where to learn the method, and they will often lead the locals to attack the unexpected flanks of Britain and Australia through the jungle.
Under the attack of the Chinese and German troops from two sides, all 40,000 British and Australian troops stationed on the island surrendered. Although the victory was won, as Luknall said, this war did not bring any benefit to China, especially the Chinese Baath Party and the Chinese National Defense Force, but caused them trouble.
This trouble comes from the UK.
The British and Australian were undoubtedly attacked during the battle, and they were even more furious to know that the "ghost captain" who led this fleet was the one who had been active on their transport lines with a wooden sailing ship.
But this is not what made them the most angry, as everyone knows, on the previous occasion, due to the British Commander-in-Chief of the European Expeditionary Force, Haig. Sir Douglas and the Commander of the British Home Fleet, John Brown. Admiral Jericho included the new Admiral Swinton. Churchill's words made it impossible for the new prime minister not to think about the state of affairs at that time.
On the Western Front, when the Germans were about to reach an agreement from the Russian side, and hundreds of thousands of German troops would be redeployed on the Western Front, there would be no more forces to be allocated to the Far East, whether it was the navy, air force, or army.
Therefore, the British ambassador showed the greatest sincerity when negotiating with Tang Shaoyi. They intend to bribe each other with more respect and interests, as they have done with politicians in China in the past.
This time, however, they were provoked by the other party, and the fall of Irian Island was not a big deal. It was not the first time that the British army had been defeated at the hands of the Germans. But what about the Chinese, will the great British army also be defeated in the hands of this opium-ridden country where politicians only know how to seize power through internal strife, so where is the face?
Therefore, they thought of revenge, but before retaliation, they wanted to hear what kind of answer this politician from the Far East, who was just rising, would give them.
When Tang Yunyang received the news from the spy agency in Beijing, he sent his own airship to Beijing city in a brazen manner, and greeted the British minister's visit under the pretext of greeting him.
The British minister, who originally planned to go secretly, was questioned by Duan Qirui's government almost at the same time that the airship appeared in the sky. Of course, this kind of guy who only knows humility in front of foreign devils does not dare to question, and when he asks, he only complains a little bit in passing.
"Mr. Ambassador, you should know that they are a gang of robbers who are fighting with open fire, to be honest, we should not stop you from going to Shandong to visit the people of Shandong, but as a national government agency, we can't help but express concern for your safety!"
Hearing the telegram from the other party, the British minister had to smile bitterly, and recalled the result of his discussion with his staff.
"Who doesn't know that they are a gang of tough robbers, they even rob the Japanese and the British, and who else dare not rob them in the whole Far East. They are indeed the most daring bandits in the Far East, and it seems that no country is safe here!
But who has any way, but they have a habit of killing prisoners of war, and now that 40,000 Anglo-Australian prisoners of war have fallen into their hands due to the defeat of Irian Island, what should we do? Unless ......"
These were merely the thoughts of the British minister, and naturally they would not tell a head of government who seemed to have been around for less than a few days about their true intentions, so the British company first expressed its gratitude for the interest of Lot Qirui in the phone call.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Prime Minister, for your concern, please believe that we will not reach any compromise agreement with these robbers!"
Throwing down the phone, the British minister could not help but feel that he was not a gentleman enough to say the lie he said without hesitation. He shook his head in self-deprecation, and told himself what he thought about the matter.
"Won't an agreement be signed with these robbers? That's weird! ”
Just as he was laughing at himself, the sound of a car came from outside the door. Then his Indian servants came to him and reported to him in a pure English tone.
"Sir, a car has been sent for you on the airship, and they say...... He also said......"
The British minister stopped putting on his coat, and the servant on the side immediately stepped forward to help.
"What else?"
"Sir, they also say that the model of your car is long past obsolete, and your car is not safe enough, especially if it doesn't match your identity!"
The British minister asked suspiciously, and then walked a few steps to the window.
"yes, what the hell are these guys doing!"
There was a car parked like a Mike. The similar-looking sedan that Lang used to sit in was a standard state-level official car, and the body was not only protected by armor steel plates, but also included bulletproof glass and other facilities.
The black painted body glows with some seductive light in the sun, and the chic logo at the front of the car in the shape of the Huabiao at Tiananmen Square also reveals a kind of oriental charm.
"It's a luxurious yet dignified vehicle!"
The British minister looked at the limousine parked downstairs and pondered whether he should refuse the temptation.
"Is it with their driver?"
Looking at the car, the British minister first exclaimed, and then asked with a little uneasiness. After all, as a minister of a country, he cannot use a driver of unknown origin.
"No, sir, our driver was already sitting in it, and the other party told him how to maneuver, according to him, the car is not only luxurious, but also easy to drive!"
"Is that so? Or I should try these things for myself, you know that as a minister also has a responsibility to know the trends in the development of science and technology in the country where you are stationed! ”
The minister smiled and spoke, not knowing whether he was explaining to the servant or making excuses for himself.
When he got into the car with his attaché, he was completely satisfied with his choice. The leather seats are not only comfortable but also well-made, and the good suspension system makes this car more comfortable than other cars that the minister has ever sat in. The one-piece windshield also provides a better view.
To the minister's satisfaction, the rear of the car is separated from the front by a curtain glass window, and the chairs in the back are two sets of sofas facing each other, and the wide armrests allow the occupants to enjoy personal comfort without feeling congested. Even if you're fooling around with someone in the back, it's much more comfortable than any other vehicle.
This car, named the Oriental Royal Family System, highlights the royal quality of the Oriental Royal Family that is very unusual and solemn compared to the British Rolls-Royce. It wasn't produced for use by individual dignitaries, it was developed for them by Mike. The convertible car under Lang's butt, and this car is aimed at the heads of state vehicles of various countries.
The Oriental royal family is also the representative of this kind of vehicle, and the hope of producing it is also the hope that one day in the future, it can appear in the government convoys of various countries.
"Mr. Minister, I heard that they will send one such vehicle to the French and American ministers, it is said that it is to thank them and their country for their help in the development of the MPM military-industrial group!"
As he spoke, the assistant opened the location of the wine cabinet he had just been told to be in the car, and took out a bottle of good wine and two wine glasses.
The British minister, who had received the car gift, was obviously in a much better mood, and he took the wine glass and asked at the same time.
"What are these emerging Chinese forces going to do?" Chapter 58: Getting into Trouble
