Chapter 1437: East Timor
The tragic fate of the United States continues, but China, on the other side of the ocean, has launched another offensive that it has been preparing for a long time. Timor-Leste, a country that was in turmoil, poor and backward in later generations, could not even be counted as a country in this era, but was only an island with indigenous people, which was the root cause of the independence of many island countries in Asia and the Pacific.
The islands in the Pacific Ocean are too dense, especially in the west, near Southeast Asia and Australia, there are many islands, these islands have no output, that is, hundreds or thousands of indigenous people fish for a living, European and American colonists, there is no way for these islands, their personnel are too small, and the distance from here is too far, if immigrants, let alone whether anyone is willing to come, even if someone is willing to come, to maintain the survival of a port or base, the resources required are astronomical, the United States and the United Kingdom, No matter how much money you have, you can't waste it on this
But for China, it doesn't matter, China's desire for land has reached a certain level, whether these natives are put on an island and left to fend for themselves, or they can be brought back to the country and integrated with the people, they can easily solve the problem.
As for survival, although China's survival cost is high, but the value created is greater, East Timor, a small island that has nothing to do in the later generations, casually put some industry up, plus the support of fisheries, it is enough to maintain the existence of a base, Chinese hardworking, thrifty, before because they did not have enough strength as a backing, like the Jews, became the object of oppression and exploitation, to the world Chinese, life is not very good, black history continues.
But now, China has a strong force, whether it is for the United States to evacuate overseas Chinese, or for the massacre response, have given China a strong backbone, although East Timor is hard, but it is a good place, countless young people and people, are in response to the call of the country, in the past few years, the construction here is good, at least, not a barren land, but this is still a long way from the development of the country, but these are enough, East Timor for China, there is still a special significance, The advance preparations for the capture of the Australian bridgehead were enough for 300,000 troops to be stationed here, and enough to accommodate a large number of men and machinery.
Timor-Leste is the closest place to Australia, and it only needs to pass through a not too wide strait to be able to travel from Southeast Asia to Australia, although it is not the best place in Australia, but correspondingly, these places are weaker in defense and less controllable, which is convenient for Australian raids.
Although Australia is about the same as Siberia in terms of area, Australia is a continent, a complete continent, surrounded by oceans, and in terms of handling, it is completely different from Siberia, as long as the army is brave and the production and construction corps can keep up, as long as the railway is built to every corner of Siberia, even if Siberia is not occupied by China, it is not far away.
Australia is different, he needs to use the navy, and he also needs to use enough navy, and the number of rounds is also quite large, which is very great pressure on transportation and logistics, so as early as when the fantasy class set off on the United States, a full set of attack plans against Australia was prepared, but this is just a plan, 300,000 troops, enough logistics materials to support the army for at least 3 months of operation, for the necessary machinery and equipment and materials for port expansion and reconstruction, all kinds of things must be obtained to East Timor, This is a huge test for the newly born Chinese Navy.
The same is true for the army, the Chinese army has been quite elite, in the past few years, Japan and Russia have been beaten all over the ground to find teeth, one to ten is a bit exaggerated, one to five is not much of a problem, as for one to three, it is completely stressless, but cross-sea operations, landing operations, is still a new thing, they have not done similar operations, although temporary drills, with the help of the General Staff, have an intuitive understanding of the landing operations, but the General Staff's blow is too ruthless, The fixed firing points and tunnel fortifications are a bit exaggerated, and in most people's perception, the landing is always a flesh mill, and a lot of sacrifices must be made to land.
Starting from the fantasy level, to the return now, almost half a year, the preparations for the attack on Australia are basically ready, at this moment, East Timor has become a place where a large number of troops gather, East Timor is not another island, among the islands in the entire Southeast Asia, it is also a relatively large island, 34,000 square kilometers of land, similar to Hainan Island, 300,000 troops and many migrant workers on the island, for this island, there is no pressure at all, Lan Fang secretly built a harbor and some basic facilities, let these people here, Aside from the climate, there aren't too many problems.
From East Timor to Darwin, Australia, just separated by a small Timor Sea, 250,000 square kilometers of the Timor Sea, it looks huge, but this huge is only for the sea, in the ocean this is just a small sea, his width is the widest, but only more than 500 kilometers, a short sea voyage, almost across the sea in general, even with an ordinary transport ship, 12 knots of cruising speed, a day's time, is enough to cross the Timor Sea.
However, this is the first landing operation on the Chinese side, and it is still dealing with an Australia with a land area of 7 million square kilometers, although in the intelligence, Australia's armament is very poor, there is not much combat effectiveness, and the navy has also been sent to Europe, but it is a complete industrial country, and under the premise that the other side occupies a favorable geographical position, any slight omission may bury the situation that has been fought well, and this is quite clear to both the army and the navy.
In the first war with Russia and Japan, it was more about the army, China already had a tradition of the army, and once, the new army that had just received Western military education easily won the recognition of the major countries in the world, and after the addition of Yang Yuanzhao, it was normal to defeat the other party by using the same weapons as the European and American powers, or even stronger weapons, but the first battle of the sea was a real test of China's foreign war, not only the role of the navy, but also the army, and the opponent was an industrial country, Although it is only a member of the Commonwealth, you have to be careful.
As early as when Lanfang was not established, Southeast Asia had not completely fallen into the hands of China, China had already begun to prepare for the war against Australia, Australia is vast, sparsely populated, and even in the northern region, there is a Chinese tradition, in all kinds of intricate relationships, China has sent almost 100,000 Chinese into Australia through various channels, although walking around Australia, it is not inconspicuous at all, but the agents of the intelligence bureau also followed, in the white world, It is impossible for the yellow race to enter the upper echelons and spy on top-secret intelligence through top-down methods, but it is still possible to do it simply.
In the United States, in Europe, all over the world, the intelligence bureau has been trained, from the subtle intelligence, to find the right intelligence, from the middle to analyze the useful things, Australia is too big, the British population is too small, even the natives have no way to completely wipe out, let alone prepared, organized Chinese, they don't even realize that the Chinese attack on him is about to begin, they seem to be still immersed in peace, high-level people and civilians, like passers-by, look at the current war in Europe.
Australia, the owner of the unique conditions, rich minerals, vast land, have become his strengths, up to now, the whole of Australia, the total population does not exceed 8 million, this also includes more than a million natives and other races, really belong to the white people under British control, that is, five or six million.
Five or six million people, if mobilized, there are still a lot of soldiers, but Australia's support for Britain is too great, in the third month of the outbreak of the war, Australia, New Zealand formed a coalition army, stayed in Cairo, the capital of Egypt, after a short stay in Africa, quickly went to Europe, into the war, and after 1915, every two months, sent no less than 30,000 soldiers to Europe, after the British embarrassment, the British sent troops, The vast majority of them are Commonwealth and colonial armies, among which Australia is the largest, with a total of more than 550,000 troops in Europe and nearly 70% sacrificed.
According to the normal mobilization figures, according to the mobilization ratio of 10:1 in the population, Australia's normal mobilization capacity is 800,000, although 550,000, including New Zealand, but Australia's normal mobilization capacity is close to saturation, and even the current army in Australia is ready to go to Europe at any time.
Sparse population is Australia's biggest weakness, even such a sparse population is not balanced, millions of people, most of them are gathered in the east near Sydney, Melbourne generation, that area is the most elite of the whole Australia, not only gathered a large number of ports, but also the Great Plains and prosperous areas, Sydney has hundreds of thousands of people, Canberra, Melbourne, etc., the population is also a lot, just these urban belts, it gathers half of the population of the entire Australia.
If Australia is a country about the same size as Germany, France, it doesn't matter, with large cities to drive other development, but Australia is not, Australia has 7 million square kilometers of land, I'm afraid the national average, one square kilometer is less than 1.2 people, most of them are concentrated in the east, the rest of the place, there is really no one, in the center is a vast desert, the west is an indigenous settlement, can develop only a handful of cities.
This is also what China hopes to do, and the target is to cross the sea from East Timor to the northern Australian city of Darwin, which is the capital of northern Australia and the most suitable place to be attacked and settled. (To be continued.) )
