This is the worst thing for Britain, from Southeast Asia, the loss of Malacca, it proves that Britain's influence on the whole of Asia has been reduced to the bottom, Malacca almost watched him lose, and even now, Britain does not dare to draw troops in India, for fear that the other side will attack India, although South Africa in Africa is the most important place for Britain in Africa, but in the war, India plays a greater role.

India has a huge population, this point, for Britain is very important, in the Allied battles, India's private soldiers are not very good, often get a very scummy evaluation, India's huge manpower, but become one of the important support of Britain, they are an important force in the logistics of the Entente, without India's manpower, I am afraid that the Entente would have collapsed long ago, arms could not be transported, the wounded could not be transported, and the structure of the entire battlefield would change.

In addition to India's miscellaneous diseases, no matter how scum, Britain will use some Indian soldiers, even if it does not form a pure Indian division, India has joined the membership of the British Commonwealth for a long time, and the official language of India has changed from Hindi to English, in a sense, India has no language barrier in a certain sense, Britain has a total of more than 40 million people, the European war is more tragic than he imagined, and it is more good for a long time, they cannot let go of India as a country with huge manpower.

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even now, Britain is held in Europe by Germany, even if even Malacca is occupied, but Britain still has a part of the mobile force in Asia, this part of the force includes 4 and a half divisions of troops, one of which is a pure British division, the rest are mixed divisions, the newly formed 6 divisions of troops, all of these troops are in India, that is when Britain is most critical, and there are still so many troops to be able to protect the security of India.

China is too close to India, especially after getting Southeast Asia, in the Indochina Peninsula, and India is already across the sea, if it is not for the Himalayas to block China's troops, if China can march from the Himalayas, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop at all. If Yang Yuanzhao knew what the British thought, he would definitely laugh dumbly, India is a good place, I'm afraid only the British will think so.

Although Britain turned India into a colony, but Britain's control over India is not high, India's countless bad habits, caste system and people and other systems, all restrict India's development, China likes territory, but what China wants to get is a territory without worries, whether it is Siberia, Southeast Asia is like this, Southeast Asia is a little troublesome, dealing with those natives, are done in the name of Lan Fang, so a little better, India will not work, the extremely complicated Indian situation will drag down China's power, Living in India's unique agriculture, in China's occupation of the Indochina Peninsula, will not have any effect, China has been using chemical fertilizers for several years, in agriculture, there are huge advantages, unwanted in the expansion, in addition to agriculture, India can get the hands on the things really not much, the benefits are not big, the consequences are great, such a thing, China will not shoot, now it is the target in Australia, and will not pay attention to India.

But China's attitude, Britain does not know, at this moment, they have to make a choice, whether it is Australia or India, India is under threat, Australia is already under threat. China's attack on Australia made the British high-level chaotic on this day, the War Department, the Admiralty, the high-level, the parliament, all in a meeting, the discussion of nothing else, is how to deal with China's attack in Australia, but in the eagerness, there is no better way, this move never thought of it, Britain can draw not much things, and even some military experts believe that Australia's huge land may become the root of China's power.

A land of 7 million square kilometers, with a few million troops to contain at least, how many troops can China have, if these troops are placed in Europe, it will become a nightmare, if it is placed in Australia, even if it is only won for a year or two, it is a good choice. This argument seems to have persuaded the British that opposition to the transfer of troops to Australia became the mainstream in the British system.

The two giants of the Entente, Britain and the United States, have no spare strength to help Australia for the time being, which is beyond Australia's expectations, Australia's high-level officials, the reason why the news was spread out for the first time, is to get the support of Britain and the United States, although it is not very clear why China has become so powerful, but the China that has beaten Russia and the United States all over the ground is obviously not something that Australia can deal with, but a few days have passed, and the news obtained from Britain and the United States has made Australia's high-level more and more cold. The news fed back from one channel after another is very unoptimistic.

Needless to say, the United States is in North America, they have just been attacked, and now they are licking their wounds miserably, and it is basically impossible to interfere in the situation of Australia, they have not even increased their forces in the Pacific, let alone Australia, which does not have much friendship, they are more hopeful of Britain, but this time the call for help has pierced the veil of mystery in Britain, it turns out that Britain, the leader of the Entente and the strongest force against the Allied Axis Germany, is no longer capable of taking into account the members of the Commonwealth, Even if it's a descendant like Australia.

Enlightenment flashes in everyone's hearts, even if it is just a small country, even if it only has a few million people, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp to be able to stand at the peak of a country, and when the external forces have no way to rely on, they can only consider saving themselves. Sydney, Australia, Australia's largest city, almost most of the high-level decisions about Australia's fate have appeared, and many national affairs in the past were handled by several high-level people, and now the members of the two houses of government have been called together.

A small number of people who knew what was going on were silent, and the rest belonged to different camps, and they were all wondering what was going on, and they would call them all in such a hurry, and when the Speaker announced the news of Darwin's capture, among the many parliamentarians in Australia, some did not even know where Darwin was.

The Speaker in chief, is really a little helpless, Alvin became the capital of the Northlands before it was established, that was in 1911, it was only a few years, Australia has not been completely born from the British colony, it is jointly managed by the nobility and the Parliament, some people rarely even leave the rich areas near Sydney, who knows where there is in the borderlands, only a small part, in the northern region to invest in minerals or gold, more or less know some of the situation in the northern region, but really know, Not a lot, mostly simple cases.

However, the Speaker and the Prime Minister had already prepared, and in the large conference room, they left a map of Australia, which was just revised in 1913, before the outbreak of the war in Europe, because it was a national map, the size of a wall, and the entire Australia, the administrative divisions above the town level, can be found in this map.

There is a clear record on the map, after many high-level officials found Darwin's location, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, that is a place outside the entire Australian protection system, why do Chinese choose the location so well, that place, is a place that Australia cannot protect.

At this time, Australia, somewhat similar to the United States before participating in the European War, the key defense area is around the capital, this place in the southeast corner, here is the rich land, but also the earliest place in Australia, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne three cities, respectively in different directions, population concentration, wealth concentration, but in addition to these three major cities, other places have not been developed, and even the three large cities that have been developed, are only in Australia.

Sydney is one of the few big cities in Australia, but the total population is only about three or four hundred thousand, near Sydney, almost all of Australia's population is gathered, Melbourne, Canberra's three major cities combined, has exceeded a million people, you know, in this era, the whole Australia, 7 million square kilometers of land, but not more than 8 million people, and even Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne constitute a large triangle area, is one of the most densely populated areas in Australia, The rest are also distributed in the central prairie meeting, and in the northern region, there are only a few cities, less than 700,000 people, and Sydney is completely heaven and earth, and even the transportation is cut off.

More than 7 million square kilometers of land, the population is only 8 million, this population is different from Siberia repeatedly, Siberia is located in the alpine zone, to the winter cold climate, inaccessible, but Australia is different, compared to the ordinary plains, is a little worse, but most of them are suitable grasslands, the temperature difference is not large, there are some deserts, but not all, most of them are suitable places to live.

The crux of the matter is that Australia was discovered relatively late, the first recorded discovery of Australia was in 1606, but it was only a short stay, and it was not until 1770 that the British Captain Cook really discovered Australia and declared Australia to belong to the United Kingdom.

From the discovery to the present, Australia is only more than 120 years of history, originally it was a place of exile for criminals, and it was not until 20 years later that the first free people immigrated to Australia, because at the beginning, it was the discovery of the southeast sea, in the era of no satellites, a vast continent of 7 million square kilometers, if it is not for sufficient population growth, I am afraid that even the territory can not be determined, and the population is too small for the territory of Australia.
