Chapter 284: Pre-War Preparations
The operational decision of the Executive Committee has been unanimously approved, and the next step is the specific issue of military deployment for internal meetings within the military, which does not need to be discussed by the leaders of the Executive Committee; after the Military Committee has drawn up the plan, it will send it to the Executive Committee for the review of several members.

Of course, in the end, if the members of the Executive Committee feel that they still need to make changes, they will also discuss specific matters with the military, in short, the government's work is currently to requisition materials and prepare for the personnel to get the things out and transport them to the temporary settlements of the two overseas territories.
Of course, the government still has one last job to do, which is to communicate with Batavia and Manila, telling them that the real purpose of Australia's troops is to clear the island's natives, not military operations against them.
Don't look at the fact that they are military allies with these two parties, but in fact, what is the real relationship, the big guys know that it is not as solid as they think outside, and one is also for unnecessary trouble inside, after all, when you start a war with them at this time, starting a war at this time is tantamount to looking for death.
The most important thing is to stabilize them first, as long as they are stabilized, Australia can deal with the natives on the island more confidently.
In fact, these natives are too lazy to do, not to mention that the Australians have ideas about them, that is, the Dutch and the Spaniards also don't like these natives, and they would use these natives if it wasn't for the excessive power of the Chinese.
Now it's different, now the two sides are in a cooperative relationship, if you still use this trick, it will be a bit appropriate, after all, for them, Australian weapons are the items they urgently need, the war in Europe has reached the final moment, at this time, who has more Australian weapons, can decide the fate of the battlefield.
The matter of communication with them has been handed over to the government, and the military has now had four battalions since the expansion of the army, of which two are still new battalions that have not participated in the fighting.
The new battalion needs to be sharpened on the battlefield, this does not need to be discussed, everyone knows, and the equipment of the two local battalions is very advanced, after all, the troops defending the homeland must be different from the troops outside, and the new weapons are generally the first to be equipped on them.
This has led to the existence of their elite in the army, but their status needs to be fought by fighting, if it is only because the weapons are advanced, then it is not an elite, a unit with good weapons cannot fight, such a force is useless.
Sending troops into the war will leave the home defense empty, and how to make arrangements at this time will need to be discussed between the military and the garrison command.
The Garrison Command, nominally the reserve force of the Army and Navy, but in fact has another responsibility for the Australian Internal Guard, and when the regular army goes to war, the security of the homeland will be entrusted to them.
The strength of the garrison is still there, but the weapons and equipment are a little worse, this is very easy to solve, as long as they apply for a batch of new weapons, they will sell their original batch of old weapons, and I believe that they will be able to find good buyers in Europe.
Don't look at it as a second-hand weapon, but the second-hand is cheap, which is much cheaper than buying a new one directly, European countries have been fighting for so long, the treasury has been very empty, not can casually come up with a lot of money, some second-hand weapons will be more popular.
As long as second-hand weapons are repaired and refurbished, they are actually only a little worse than new, and not too much.
Originally, Australia did not know that second-hand goods would be so popular, until the French asked if there were any old weapons that had been redressed for export, and Australia realized the market.
Of course, those who have money will definitely not want second-hand, but for European countries, these second-hand things are good now.
Spain and the Netherlands both have arms export agreements with Australia, and the two sides have secretly signed export agreements, and they do not know how much they export, but now is not the time for them to offend the Australians.
If you offend the Australians, if they cut off the supply of weapons, or sell them directly to their biggest competitors, it will be the biggest blow to their own side.
Neither wants to see the other being strong, so they won't embarrass the Australians too much at this time no matter what.
If you embarrass the Australians, you can't get along with yourself, maybe they will send troops to help the Australians clear up.
Of course, Australia's clearance operation this time is mainly to stabilize these two important bases, and it is also to train the actual combat ability of soldiers, and it is unlikely that others will need to take action. is saying that Australia's strength is there, and others may not be as fast as they are doing.
Manila and Batavia sent troops to help, and they definitely didn't help in vain, they must have their own ideas, and the biggest possibility is to get more weapons from Australia.
There are strict restrictions on arms exports, and if they increase, it will be very disadvantageous for Australia, how can it be beyond the scope of their plans, so it is absolutely unnecessary to send troops to help.
Australia doesn't need help, and it has the ability to complete its own tasks, not to mention that the military people also need to establish their position among the people and government officials through this war.
With the fruits of this victory, they feel that it will be of great help to the future expansion of the army or funds.
The military's funding is strictly controlled, and the amount of military spending each year has been set as early as the beginning of the year, and more funds are wanted, unless it is a special case.
There are no special circumstances when you want to be sure or not.
And there are some people who are very afraid that the military will monopolize power, which is the biggest threat to them, although there are many ways to develop a policy plan that makes it impossible for the military to do so, but after all, people are still very afraid. Since others are so afraid, the military always has to make a gesture to come out.
Therefore, the military has always behaved in a very low profile, and the low profile of the military naturally allows some people to see the example they have made, so the two sides are still relatively able to get along harmoniously at present.
After all, everyone is making their own contribution to the future of this country, and it is natural to understand together, if this matter causes internal contradictions to become bigger and bigger, basically there is no need to do anything else, and the current state of harmony is what the members of the Executive Committee want to see.
