In the large conference room, all the Australian parliamentarians are looking at each other, and they are not stupid to be able to stand here at the top of the Australian leadership, and even some of them are capable people, some have held military positions, or have been soldiers, and immediately feel the difference, even if they have just contacted the news, but after the outbreak of the European war, Australia put the only capital ship, and even most of the light cruisers and destroyers have been lined up in Europe, and the situation in the UK is quite grim, in their opinion, there is nothing on the Australian side, There are no enemies around, so what do you want so many warships for, it is better to support the suzerain.

In this era, Britain is a superpower, any of his actions, there is a group of younger brothers, among them, the Commonwealth is the best, but also the most hardcore support of the younger brother, Australia, as a member of the British Commonwealth, has just become an independent Dominion, and is also ready to contribute its own strength in this major war.

In later generations, in the history of the real World War, Australia also did this, and even in the European War, a large number of sacrifices, it is precisely because of this spirit of sacrifice, the tenacity and combat effectiveness shown, the image of Australia, after that, gradually have a social status and political pattern, but in this era, the emergence of China broke everything, this was originally a method of applause, but it has become the biggest problem now, now Australia does not even have escort warships, the only battleship is also placed in Europe, It's too late to transfer back, and how to solve the problem in Darwin.

Although China's cross-sea attack on Darwin was fast, in order to ensure the safety of personnel, there was no forcible attack on the telegraph office, and some communication with the submarine fiber optic cable and the ground, in Darwin was a cable cable to contact Sydney, and they reported most of the information, especially the warships at sea, according to the information obtained in the telegram, at least 8 ships of 10,000 tons also appeared in Darwin, that is to say, even if Australia sent troops over, it would be blocked by the other side's superior navy. Australia does not have much naval tradition, and in the Commonwealth, it is also known that in times like these, soldiers are sent on ships, there is no escort force, and those troop carriers are joking with the lives of soldiers once they meet a battleship. Even at a critical moment, no one dared to give a qualified order, which was tantamount to sending them to death.

It is almost more difficult to go to Darwin by land, from Sydney to Darwin, the distance in a straight line is more than 2,000 kilometers, there are not enough railways, if you go to the middle, you need to use it, or horses, even in the prairie, there are no roads, so how to pass, even if you pass, 2,000 kilometers of road action, will make these soldiers, so that they will be lost.

Naturally, most of the members of the parliament pinned their hopes on the suzerain, Australia is the free territory of the British Commonwealth, but many aspects are protected by the United Kingdom, and even Australia has sent a large number of land forces to Europe, at this time is at the weakest time, China not only chooses the timing very well, but also the choice of location is very good.

Since Britain cannot be relied on, should it protect itself when Australia faces a Chinese attack, and transfer to the British army, or even whether the capital ship and some other warships can come back.

This is the language of a certain country, and even the parliamentarians at the bottom began to think that this was very reasonable, but at the top, those speakers, prime ministers, and even army commanders who are more aware of the current status quo, they know better, not to mention that Australia is too far away from Europe, even if it is close, it is impossible for the troops who have been on the front line to be transferred back, the reason is very simple, the situation on the battlefield is in the balance of power, and at most one side has a slight advantage, at this time, hundreds of thousands of troops are transferred, It has a huge impact on the battlefield situation, and even as a high-level officer, I got the news from various channels that the Australian army has suffered huge losses, and it is estimated that the losses have exceeded 6 percent, and 600,000 troops may really come back, no more than 250,000, and the number of such troops does not play much role.

As for the navy, it is even more problematic, the United States transferred 12 battleships, that is, the United States has become the largest arms pillar of the Entente, and their support for Britain is quite large, so there is such preferential treatment, but the result is that 12 battleships are lost in Changsha, and there are 12 less battleships, and Britain is facing German pressure, and it is even more unable to resist, how can it be possible to let the warships come back, that is simply not a thing.

After discussing for a long time, there was no solution, but if they didn't act, let the other side attack, and slowly occupy the whole of Australia, it didn't work, there was no way, they could only send 3 armies of the army, a total of 130,000 people, which is more than half of the current army in Australia, their departure will make Australia's defense weak, but they can't help it, near Sydney, is the most concentrated place in Australia, and large-scale conscription has begun.

The 10% conscription ratio is a safe conscription line that does not affect the general situation, and it is also considered one of the war potentials of a country, but at the current critical moment of life and death, when the Chinese have hit their heads, it is meaningless to consider the 10% security line, and in the face of the threat of possible national extinction, they must mobilize generally.

The three armies of the army, in turn in the Sydney season, and then through the railway into central Australia, and then can only, slowly in the direction of Darwin, how long it will take to get to Darwin, and may not even reach Darwin in the end, the Australian top never thought that they could go, Australia's unique environment, so that Australia's side, has never been threatened by war, they don't even know how to deal with it is right.

The assembly of the three armies, it took 15 days, and even the waiting for the car took 3 days, the Australian top level already has a sense of urgency, but at the bottom, there is no at all, originally they are going to the European army to pick the rest, if they have this blood, they would have run to Europe a long time ago, the rest are not very resolute, or simply afraid of death, now I didn't expect that after avoiding the European war, the door was threatened, and now there is no possibility of shirking.

Strange to say, Australia is very close to Asia, and during World War I, the focus was on Europe, and the major major wars broke out in Europe, and Australia was safe and sound. By the time of World War II, although Japan went south, but the focus of the southward movement was for oil, and when it reached Southeast Asia, it stopped somewhat, although later, it wanted to march on Australia, but the Japanese had to fight with Britain near the Indochina Peninsula on the one hand, and on the other hand, they had to fight with the United States in the Pacific Ocean for a decisive naval battle.

In this era, China joined in World War I, just like the Three Kingdoms Axis in World War II, Germany in Europe, Japan in Asia, the difference is that China is far more powerful and more terrifying than Japan in World War II, even if it uses only a very inconspicuous part of the force, it is enough to make the world look sideways.

Quietly, China has occupied the whole of Siberia, taken back all the territory of China occupied by Russia, and the land area has almost skyrocketed to nearly 20 million, and the most important thing is that with the help of the name of Lanfang, it has occupied Southeast Asia, more than 22 million square kilometers of land, although many are not suitable for development, China in this era, far more powerful than Japan in history.

Japan is in the First World War, under the premise of obtaining huge benefits, in just 20 years, to complete the process of industrialization, upgrade industrialization, become one of the world's powers, but China, with the help of the powerful products of later generations, made China made all over the world, more than 100 million tons of steel output, large machinery capacity, chemical capacity, these are not even comparable to the United States, let alone Japan. Although China, under the leadership of Yang Yuanzhao, hid and tucked away, and did not show everything in China,

But even if China leaks these, it is not something that Australia can afford, this point, whether it is Britain and the United States, or Australia does not realize that the only highlight of the Chinese Army's foreign operations is to kill the Russian army in Siberia, but the combat effectiveness of the Army, without personal experience, can not be experienced, and even against Russia back then, China's strongest strength was not exposed, and the least armored force was not sent to Russia, but the landing of Australia, China not only sent the most powerful team, Even the armored forces were sent.

Darwin was captured, almost bloodless, Zhang Xiaohuai was very cautious, after occupying the port, firmly controlled the port, began to land, it took only 2 days, the Chinese expeditionary force landed in Darwin, the largest city in northern Australia, became a Chinese base, in the port, a large number of merchant ships began to unload, after obtaining enough supplies, 300,000 troops, in addition to 100,000 stuck in Darwin, the rest, with the cooperation of warships, Attacks were carried out to the east and west.

Darwin is already the largest city in the northern region, such a city has little defense, it is easy to attack, not to mention other cities, the entire northern region of 700,000 people, densely distributed in more than 150 cities and towns of different sizes, 200,000 troops, divided into two routes, respectively, attack 250 kilometers, almost all the ports and important towns in the north of Australia, are included in it, the efficiency is much faster than expected, the entire northern region, the smoke is everywhere, more and more high-level messages, Sent to Sydney.
